OH MY GOODNESS, this is my favorite product of all time. It looks gorgeous on my NC25 skin tone and brown eyes and it really brightens up my eyes. It lasts about 5 hours before it smudges, but keep in mind that I have suppppppppppppppppppeeeeeer oily lids... as in NOTHING can stop eyeshadow from creasing. -_- Anyhow, I really do love this product. It's extremely creamy and pigmented too. It has shimmer, so for people who don't like glittery eye makeup may not like it, but I think it's worth a try. At 17USD, I wouldn't say that this is very cheap, but well worth the price. I would buy again in a heartbeat.

This is my first urban decay eyeshadow. Bought it because I heard so many good reviews about it and I love it. Super pigmented so the product lasts you for so long. Glides on smooth. Ill wear it only on my lids to brighten up my eyes if I feel tired. Or I'll put it on other colors and then blend to give a slight shimmer without looking too sparkly.
For some reason, my pit started to crack so when I opened up my eyeshadow, a big chunk fell out! Other than that, love it. Will def repurchase and I can't wait to buy more colors and the naked palette! :)

gorgeous shade and amazing consistency! I love this! I will definitely repurchase if I ever run out of it.

Love this. This is the go to golden colour. Its not too yellow or orange. It is a really lovely colour. It makes a quick neutral everyday eye when paired with twice baked.

I adore Half Baked! It's the most perfect pure gold color. It really compliments brown eyes. I usually can't wear gold because it looks weird on me but Half Baked is the exception. I got this in the Sustainable Shadow Box and now the Vegan Palette. I got the Vegan Palette a month ago and I'm almost out of Half Baked, I use it a ton. The only downside is it's expensive for a single eyeshadow ($17) but it's totally worth it and I'm going to buy the single when I'm all out. Love it!

gorgeous gold shimmery colour, the perfect gold really, i wear with 'woodwinked' mac which looks amaze!
reasonably priced at 18 euro, lasts for ages, great pigments, love love love!!!!

My first "exposure" to Half Baked eyeshadow was in the Naked Palette, which was my first experience (and a positive one) with Urban Decay shadows.
Half Baked is a lovely rich gold colour and while it looks frosty and almost florescent in the pan, it applies smoothly and imparts a beautiful sheen, rather than gaudy-looking frost or glitter. It looks so nice on the lid, with a darker, matte shade in the crease (though I've recently seen it used with a dark colour on the lid and this in/above the crease - the pic for it is at the top of the reviews for the Naked palette).
Basically, this shadow is what I wanted Woodwinked to be, minus the annoying tendency to turn orange on me. So if you are someone who has tried Woodwinked and returned it or given up on it because it went orange on you, do consider giving Half Baked a try. It will make your eyes sparkle!

This is one of my favorite eyeshadows. It's such a nice neutral gold color, not too yellow, not too orangey, just right. It goes on smoothly and on me it doesn't crease at all even without primer. Love it!!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other

This color is one of the ones in the Naked Palette and I have done soo many looks with this color! It is the perfect golden, shimmery neutral ever!!! This is one of those colors that look good on EVERYBODY. I will definitely be buying this once i hit pan on the palette. This is a must on everyone's kit!
Age: 19-24

This is such a pretty goldish color. It's one of my favorites to used. You just can't go wrong with this!

I really like these racks because they provide an aerodynamic, custom look to my vehicle, unlike some rack systems that project up high above the roof. Also they make relatively little wind noise when I have the moon roof open which is a nice touch. They are quite strong and can hold a lot of weight. These were the perfect choice for my Jetta Sportwagen.

Using Pockets
Though Pockets is primarily a resource for children's personal use, the magazine can be used in groups as supplemental Sunday-school material or with weeknight groups or Pockets clubs. Here are suggestions for using the January/February issue, on the theme Being Yourself in weekly segments.
Week One:
Read: A Unique Situation (pages 2-4)
Discuss: Why did Claire want to change so many things about herself? What did she learn from her sister? Do you think being popular is important? Why or why not?
Pray: For kids who feel like they don't fit in
Do: Read kids' ideas for making the world a better place in 2015 (pages 10-11) and talk about your own ideas for doing this.
Week Two:
Read: I Can Relate (pages 21-22)
Discuss: Do you ever feel like others don't value the things you're good at? How does that feel? What helps you feel good about your gifts and strengths?
Pray: For families going through hard times
Do: Read about the contest on page 24 and work on your entries.
Week Three:
Read: Juniper Lane (pages 17-19)
Discuss: Do you ever feel the way Cruz did at the beginning of this story? When do you feel that way? What qualities in yourself do you feel good about?
Pray: To appreciate the good qualities in ourselves and everyone else.
Do: Take the quiz on pages 42-43 and talk about the answers.
Week Four:
Read: Where in God's World? (pages 28-29)
Discuss: Have you ever visited another country? What did you like about it? If you haven't visited another country, what countries do you think you'd like to visit? Why do those interest you?
Pray: For peace among the nations of the world
Do: Make the Taco Soup on page 36 (or a simple snack) to share.
Week Five
Read: The Curtain Rises (pages 31-33)
Discuss: Have you ever pretended to be interested in something you didn't care about or to not be interested in something you really did care about? What made it hard to be honest about your interests?
Pray: A prayer of thanksgiving for the talents God has given each person
Do: Make Valentine cards for homebound church members. If possible, deliver them in person.
Week Six
Read: Amazing Kids (page 34)
Discuss: What do you think about what the kids we read about did? What ideas do we have for making a difference? What would we need to do to make that happen?
Pray: For families without homes
Do: Select one of the ideas for making a difference you discussed and start working on the first steps together.
Week Seven
Read: A Different Drummer (pages 44-46)
Discuss: What do you think about Timon's attitude about other people's opinions of him? What makes it easy or hard to not care what people think?
Pray: For kids who have a hard time making friends
Do: Have group members write their first names with the letters going down, then for each letter write one quality they have (for example, Rico could be Respectful, Inventive, Cooperative, Organized).
Week Eight
Read: Faith Hero (page 41)
Discuss: What makes a person a faith hero? Who are some of the Faith Heroes of our church?
Pray: To have courage to do what God wants us to do, even when others don't agree with us.
Do: The game on page 20
Though Pockets is created for children's personal use, there are many ways parents can use the magazine with your children at home.
- The last page of each issue features a family activity. Set aside time during the month for the family to do this together. Share a simple snack while you do the activity and conclude with a prayer thanking God for your time together.
- Read Pocketsful of Scripture together and talk about the brief scripture readings. This can be a good way to end the day together.
- Check out Do 1 Thing. This feature encourages children to do one "small" thing each week in a different category (i.e. for your family, for the world, etc.). Talk to your child about his or her "one thing" for the week. Consider having a family "one thing" for each week, as well.
- Read Kids with a Mission and Mission-of-the-Month and talk with your child about ways your child or the whole family can serve in similar ways or about what needs in the world your child feels passionate about helping to meet.
- Read a story together and discuss it.
- Read the God in My Life feature with your child and talk about the ways you've seen God at work in your own life and your family's life. If your child likes to write, encourage him or her to write a God in My Life story. Regardless of whether the child wants to submit the story for publication, this can be an important faith-building exercise. (To submit a story, send it to Pockets, P.O. Box 340004, Nashville TN 37203-0004.)
- Read "Where in God's World?" and together learn more about the featured country. You may want to plan a family night around that country, including trying your hand at preparing a traditional dish from the country.
- Read about the month's Faith Hero and together learn more about that person. Have a family discussion about what makes a person a faith hero and some faith heroes that you know in your church or community. Talk about ways each of you can be faith heroes or incorporate a family practice of taking turns finishing this sentence: "This week I felt like a faith hero when I…"
- Use our special seasonal features, such as the Lenten intercessory prayer calendar, the Thanksgiving prayer calendar, the Advent calendar, and the Advent devotions. Make these part of your worship together as a family.
Churches have various ways of using Pockets in their children's ministry. Many provide the magazine for children to take home to help the children in their spiritual formation throughout the week. Many use it in bags or packets provided for children to use during worship. Others use the magazine as supplemental Sunday-school curriculum or for Wednesday night programs or other activities. Some even have Pockets Clubs that organize their meetings around the contents of the magazine.
But there are also ways to use Pockets beyond your church to reach out to children and families in your community.
Here are some ideas:
- Place a few copies each month in the waiting room of your local hospital or health department or doctors' or dentists' offices. Attach a sticker to the front with information about your church.
- Offer to provide some copies to the after-school tutoring program at your church or another church in your area.
- Take copies to children who are in the hospital or at home sick.
- Donate copies to a food bank or shelter in your area.
- Take some along on outreach visits to families in your community as a way of letting adults know that your church values children.
- Order extra copies to give to children at community-wide events where your church is represented.
- Order extras for seasons when you know the church will have many visitors so that visiting children can take their own copies home.

One of my favorite things to do as a little kid was play 'school' with my older siblings at home. They'd teach me what they'd learned that day at school. At the time we were just having fun, but I got a head start and they got to reinforce what they'd learned by teaching it, a win-win.
These are all school supplies that would be great in a home setting and encourage playing school. Plus, I really would love to have a pencil sharpener that's bolted down and always in the same place. See all my etsy school favorites after the jump!

Welcome to Bob Larson's Spiritual Freedom Church
Anthony didn't know me and he didn't know the Lord. A friend invited him to our seminar but Anthony had no idea what might happen. Imagine his surprise when I spotted him in the audience and said, "Young man, you have demons."
After his initial shock, Anthony admitted that he wasn't a Christian. I led him in a sinner's prayer, and then I got on with the exorcism — confronting an evil and violent demon of Anger and Hate. After an intense physical struggle Anthony, crumpled to the floor, flat on his back. When he got up, the sullen, bitter look on his face was gone. Earlier he hung his head, dejected and withdrawn. Now he couldn't stop talking and bounded around the room from one person to another excitedly expressing his joy.
"The Lord brought me back to life," he said, broadly grinning. "New meaning, new world, new everything. This was something you don't believe until you go through it." One more testimonial among so many, confirming the Lord's anointing and blessing upon this ministry. By God's grace we are being faithful day after day, week after week, to bring the lost to Jesus. Please be faithful sending your tithes and offerings to set the captives free!

LSU defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois will enter the NFL draft, a person close to the player said Thursday.
Jean-Francois, a junior, was named defensive MVP of the 2008 BCS National Championship game against Ohio State, recording six tackles and assisting on a sack in the Tigers' 38-24 defeat of the Buckeyes in New Orleans.

I'd hope that they wouldn't give one a giant advantage to one over the other, it just seems silly to me. If anything I'd like them to share one type and have the second one to be neutral to whatever their design provides (Mew/Mewtwo, Ho-Oh/Lugia, Dialga/Palkia/Giratina, Reshiram/Zekrom). Outside of Gen 3 it's been done, and it generally makes sense.
View original post
Except it's hard to really discern what type they really share. Of course, what most people are agreeing on when concerning Yveltal is Dark/Flying. For obvious reasons, there's no actual evidence or anything to suggest that Xerneas is a flying-type whatsover. That being said, the only other type we have left to go on is Dark, right? Especially since half of it's body appears to be black, and that's what a large majority of dark-types share: a dark body, and if not that, some sort of obvious foreboding or mischevious air about them, and usually it's obvious by their design, anyway. So that might possibly be it?
So would it possibly make more sense if they share Dark as a type, and maybe Xerneas' other type is Dragon? Going by what you said, if it's true that the secondary types are neutral to each other, Flying and Dragon are both neutral, and if that's the path GF is taking nowadays, then it would make the most sense.

A classic style to say the least. The Elite will have you feeling cool and confident all day. This 15 fur cowboy hat features a 4 1/4" regular oval crown, a 4 1/4" brim and shiny buckle set to finish this sleek look.
"Resist all weather" is the name of the game at Resistol, a western hat brand that has made its name and gathered a wide fan base for itself by producing high quality products in traditional styles cowboys love. Established in the 1920s, Resistol's mission has remained unchanged since day one: produce the best. Many of Resistol's styles are hand-produced right in Garland, Texas (look for the production item decal on the product page), and are made with only Grade-A materials. Each hat must pass a multi-step inspection to ensure it is up to Resistol's standards.Due to this commitment to quality, Resistol has been worked with many stars to create signature lines. Some collections include those of Jason Aldean, country superstar, the retro styles of the John Wayne line, and the Tuff Hedeman line, crafted with the champion bull rider.Please note, due to the high quality and delicate hand-made nature of these styles, production items will take 4-7 weeks to be produced.

When you have answers to all your questions, you can walk down the aisle knowing you're marrying your true match.
Online Dating Don'ts
To really get the most out of online dating, here are some tips for online dating dont's. Being too Shy or Lazy Many people think that online dating is a wonderful way for people who are shy to find someone to date. Well, guess what? Being shy or lazy online will lead to just as many failed attempts at dating as it does in the offline world. As a matter of fact, it will make you more frustrated and you will hate dating.
5 Ways To Know That A Woman Is Not Interested
Men aren't the only one's who string individuals along when they're not really interested. Women do the same as well. But, what signals does a guy really need to look for to keep from wasting precious time and money? Well, they're quite simple. The following are signs a girl is not interested:
How A Marriage Counselor Forced My Divorce
Is your marriage in a rut? Here's an article about a woman whose marriage counselor forced her to file for a divorce and how she came out on top.
Is the crumb-grabber in you picking your dates?
Puzzled (along with your good friends) as to why you haven't met a true love yet? You feel over-healed with all of your "issues" and you know why you attract unavailable partners or no dates at all, but still cannot break free to love. You wonder, "Am I destined to be alone?"
Does Money Make the Man?
While indulging my craving for french-fried deliciousness; I saw a handsome 40-something man in perfectly pressed grey slacks, button down shirt, and designer leather shoes walk up to the counter. After a brief flirtatious exchange with an extremely attractive and vivacious 20-something behind the register, he ordered his meal. When she called his number he seized the bag with a wink and a smile. I watched him exit through the double doors; nearly 5 feet from his freshly detailed sports coupe, he slowed his stride and began to shake his head.
Finding your soul mate
Is there such a thing as a soulmate? Yes. Well, that's good news. But here's even better news. There is not just one lonely soul out there waiting to find you. There are thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands that will fit the bill for what you believe may be your soulmate. Should Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth breakup or are they soulmates?
Testing His Love: Why You Do It And How To Stop
A poll conducted by WhatsYourPrice.com confirmed that 3 out of 5 women 'test' their significant others to see if the relationship will last. Nobody likes being tested—especially your partner. So here's how to step back and start communicating with him.
Is Playing Hard to Get Worth It?
[Contributed by: Most Brave Girl] It seems like a good tactic to gauge interest level, but playing hard to get can be tricky. Look at the semantics: it is a game that you play, and most guys are not interested in playing games.

Garrett probably should give up playcalling
February, 14, 2013
Dan Graziano | ESPNDallas.com
Todd Archer joins Galloway & Company to discuss Tony Romo's contract situation and Anthony Spencer's role in the Cowboys' new defensive scheme. Listen |
how come no one talks about if Garrett "should" give up pay calling? I hope he does. I think he'll be a better leader.
We are of course talking about Jason Garrett, the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who sounds as though he'll be relinquishing offensive playcalling duties this upcoming season, but can't seem to bring himself to admit it. This is a big issue because of past comments Garrett has made about wanting to keep that responsibility, and past comments team owner Jerry Jones has made about preferring that his head coach call offensive or defensive plays.
But my friend @wingram_71 raises an interesting point that you wonder if Garrett has even considered. Would giving up these playcalling duties help make him a better head coach? I think it just might.
[+] Enlarge
Matthew Emmons/USA TODAY SportsGiving up playcalling might give Jason Garrett a chance to polish his leadership skills.
After watching Garrett coach the Cowboys for two and a half years, I think we can make some conclusions about what he does well and what he does not. And the playcalling has, since he took over as head coach, been a problem. Whether it's the actual decisions about plays, or the speed with which he relays the calls to the quarterback, or any combination of those or any other factors, it's the Garrett playcalling that makes you cringe and scratch your head. I personally think he showed improvement in those areas as 2012 went on, but it's fair to say he still has a ways to go in terms of balancing his head coach responsibilities with his offensive coordinator ones.
On the flip side, I think Garrett has shown an excellent capacity for head coach leadership. The locker room is placid and under control. The off-field drunk driving incidents and such don't speak to coaching and leadership. Those are the acts of knucklehead players away from the facility. Within the confines of the Cowboys' building, you don't hear griping or backstabbing, even when things go wrong on the field. Garrett's players appear to buy into the idea of him as the leader of their program. If they didn't ... I mean, it's the Cowboys. We'd have heard about it, no?
Giving up playcalling duties in his third full season on the job might give Garrett a chance to continue to burnish his abilities as a leader, and there's value in that. Not every head coach in the league calls plays. Just look at our division. Tom Coughlin doesn't. Mike Shanahan doesn't. Andy Reid wasn't calling them in Philadelphia the past few years. Those are three pretty accomplished and decorated coaches whose contributions to their teams as non-playcalling leaders have been (and in some cases still are) patently obvious. Garrett appears to have plenty to contribute as a head coach even if he gives up playcalling. And who knows? If the Cowboys can succeed under him and he continues to get more comfortable in his role, at some point it might make sense to give that responsibility back to him.
The issue I have is that they don't appear to have an excellent candidate to take over this part of the job. I know Bill Callahan has some experience with it, but he seems like a guy who's got enough problems with his responsibilities with the offensive line and the running game. He doesn't jump out as an ideal solution.
But in a vacuum, the concept of Garrett giving up playcalling duties has some merit, and for reasons that I don't think he should necessarily perceive as insulting. In the end, it might be great for him and his career. It might be the thing that helps him reach his full potential as a head coach. And jeez, head coach jobs pay a lot better than offensive coordinator jobs, right?

I did this function in PHP to get a page's title. I know it might look a bit messy, but that's because I'm a beginner in PHP. I have used preg_match("/<title>(.+)<\/title>/i",$returned_content,$m)
inside the if before and it hasn't worked as I expected.
function get_page_title($url) {
$returned_content = get_url_contents($url);
$returned_content = str_replace("\n", "", $returned_content);
$returned_content = str_replace("\r", "", $returned_content);
$lower_rc = strtolower($returned_content);
$pos1 = strpos($lower_rc, "<title>") + strlen("<title>");
$pos2 = strpos($lower_rc, "</title>");
if ($pos2 > $pos1)
return substr($returned_content, $pos1, $pos2-$pos1);
return $url;
This is what I get when I try to get the titles of the following pages using the function above: http://www.google.com -> "302 Moved" http://www.facebook.com -> ""http://www.facebook.com" http://www.revistabula.com/posts/listas/100-links-para-clicar-antes-de-morrer -> "http://www.revistabula.com/posts/listas/100-links-para-clicar-antes-de-morrer" (When I add a / to the end of the link, I can get the title successfully: "100 links para clicar antes de morrer | Revista Bula")
My questions are: - I know google is redirecting to my country's mirror when i try to access google.com, but how can I get the title of the page it redirects to? - What is wrong in my function that makes it get the title of some pages, but not of others?

Dr. Iris Mary Kumpula's Ratings
D r. Kumpula is a discrace to to helping professions. She does not take care of her own health concerns and then blames you because she cannot remember when your last appointment was or what you had discussed. She is very judgemental, out of date with her knowledge, and does not listen. Her office is filled with items from value village and uncomfortable seating and is only concerned with browsing through her perscriptions book and invalidating you. save yourself the grief and heartache and avoid this "doctor" and look elsewhere.

How this woman ever got licenced to practice anything is a mystery to me. No wonder she can't keep her eyes open. She follows an endless checklist of mostly irrelevant questions, plus any other nosy trivia that pops into her head, and every time I tried to get back to my problem, she'd cut me off. After almost three exhausting hours of questions that included which church Sunday school I went to as a child and to which religion do I currently belong (none), I suddenly realized what was afoot. When she suggested my problem was my "punishment," it was game over for me.

The worst experience with a doctor in my life. She made me terrified to see any doctor after my visit. So uncaring! So unhelpful! Before leaving her office, after telling me there was nothing wrong with me, and to basically leave and never contact her again( and believe me I never would have) I drank heavily for 3 years! She was so depressing.

Very judgmental, harsh, forces me to talk only about what she wants. Frequently almost falling asleep in the middle of a conversation: or she is absolutely uninterested in my words and health, or she is terribly deprived of sleep. I have to be under the care of a psychiatrist, and there is no choice in Edmonton, so I just should go there.

Dr. Kumpula has honestly gotten me the help that I needed - she knew who to call to make it happen and since then it seems like she cares about my follow up. The 'nodding off' is indeed disconcerting, especially when I am mid-sentence and her eyes are drooping and ready to close. I have had a few incidences of personal conjecture and I try to take it in stride, however, the last time I was there she said something completely ridiculous (and Freudian, which I disagree with) and now I am beginning to have my doubts. Either way, she was a great help to get the diagnosis, now to just continue that level of care.

My family and I refer to her as 'snoozy'. While in converations with her she seems to yawn & closes her eyes like she is nodding off?!!? Pay a doctor what her fees are and be treat so unimportant that she can't even stay awake long enough to comprehend much of anything! Not impressed at all. I warn you not to waste a second of your time on her.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1565170].votes_count ]]
she is arrogant and judgemental and quick to give ridiculous personal opinions which are not based on any medical knowledge or professionalism. I would rather continue on my own than be further damaged by a doctor...term used lightly.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1565168].votes_count ]]
On our first (and only) meeting, she had only asked 2, maybe 3, questions, then quickly indicated i needed a "high dose" of a drug (that i couldn't take because of a preexisting serious arrythmia). my GP was not impressed and my problem resolved on it's own just talking with a psychologist for 2 sessions. i doubt my cardiologist would have appreciated her carelessness and quick drug prescribing without a proper history. Highly recommend finding someone else.

more than a century, energy from entertainers, shop owners, customers, bootleggers and others has seeped into the bones of the former Opera House.
Now known as the Haunted Opera House, the building retains remnants of that energy — unseen and unheard to the average visitor.
"Activity is everywhere in the building," said owner Dave Triska, a paranormal researcher for 10 years. "The first night, I saw more activity than anywhere else."
Triska sells antiques on the first floor of the 1904 brick building, is renovating the second floor into living quarters and allows "ghost hunters" to use the third floor. Paranormal activity has been found on all floors, but the third floor — once home to a Masonic Star Lodge — seems to be most active.
Triska and others have encountered a hostile spirit on that floor — perhaps someone who used to be a "tyler" (or "tiler"), that is, a lodge member who kept unauthorized people away from the secret proceedings. Most of the activity, he said, seems to take place at the small room where the tyler would have stood guard.
"His job would have been very important," Triska said.

- Process plants (to bag):
- Turns quarry bushes into quarry bush leaves and produces rock nuts. Five leaves and one rock nut are produced per quarry bush.
- Process plants (to barrel):
- Turns sweet pods into dwarven syrup and produces sweet pod seeds. Each sweet pod produces five units of syrup.
- Process plants (to vial):
- Turns valley herbs into Golden salve. Requires a glass vial. Currently there is no use for this extract other than as an export good.

The apartment that was shown to us was much nicer than the apartment we moved into. We do not like the popcorn walls. The floors in our apartment have a huge gap in them, under the carpet. The value almost matches the price. The office staff is sometimes rude, but overall helpful.

One thing that is frustrating for me is I am a none smoker and during nice weather I like to leave my windows open. But I can't because of the neighbors that live below me. I just wish I could enjoy leaving my windows open. Things in my apartment are kind of old and falling apart. Stove, shower, lights, AC, HEATER, cabinets. Right now I feel fINE about the place but when I first moved in the apt it just left a sour taste in my mouth with all the broken stuff that needed fixing.

There is a new MEMS version of the GA-410, but I don't know what it will be called and I don't know how soon HK will start selling it. Meng has said that they have shipped to Hong Kong and Japan in the thread on the GA-250 MEMS gyro.
Has anyone had any luck with the GA-250 on planes? It's performance on my heli has been impressive and the price is right. |

A bug was reported when using it the way we do here in this thread and how I set up the GY48V and my other gyros with a low rate gain to turn it off. They are supposed to fix it but don't know when. Using it on an airplane is not as difficult because most of us are not using heading hold mode so in rate mode, drift is a non-issue.

That "bug" was fixed very quickly and all those being returned for updates will have that update as well. As for using in airplanes, I was very excited to use the GA250 in my planes after testing and simulating flight - then I discovered a midrange quirk that caused the gyro to jump to program mode and the servo to shut down until power cycled. I'm anxiously awaiting my revised gyros and will give them a good test upon arrival. (bench first) |

What I do know is anything shipped from HK from the current batch will have the inadvertent entry to program mode issue resolved (although I've not tested the fix yet) -- and anything sent to be updated will have this taken care of as well if it was shipped after 7/20 (maybe earlier, but I'm not sure about that). I don';t think anybody could have had their gyros to Assan for updates before that date -- so I'm reasonably confident that all of those updated will have this update. I don't think the label color is changing -- but when I receive my new gyros from Meng I'll let you know for sure. I'll also give them a thorough going over and see how they perform. I have high hopes for them. If they work as I expect them to -- I'm going to be making an investment into a bunch of GA-250's. I have found that I thoroughly enjoy flying when I have this additional control when I want it. |

http://www.rchelisite.com/how_do_gyros_work.php It too is simple to setup since it does basically rate or HH, and you can change the gain via your tx. The second big plus is that the manufacturer (lead engineer?) has an ongoing correspondence with us customers. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1362819 The third big plus, it is about the size of Spartan Quark. The forth big plus is that is $9.99. The fifth and most important big plus is that Scott Page will give it a thorough testing for us. The big minus is that they used the public to beta test the software, and with no provisions on the unit itself for upgrades (usb, specialized cable interface etc). To get any updates you have to return the unit(s) to China. Another big minus is that it is not feature riched as the Spartan Quark. ------------------ It makes me wonder if the revamped ga410 and ga510 will be as well recieved as the GA250 when it first appeared. I see that now the ga250 is well stocked as opposed to being always sold out. Maybe people have learned to become wary. |

One of the things I wondered about was resistance to airframe vibration and overall stability. I have a Futaba 401 and a couple of HK 401b's. I think the Futaba is a MEMS and the HK is a piezo. Is that correct ?
The difference in operating behavior between the Futaba and the HK is night and day. The Futaba is a dream to use and once set up you never even know it's there unless you turn it off to see the difference in the airplane's behavior. On the plane with the HK's there was a lot of jitter and they seemed more vulnerable to limit cycle in the air. I finally removed the HK's because the improvement in flying quality was no more than a push relative to the added weight and bulk. If I had another plane that really needed a rate gyro right now I'd go ahead and spend the money for another Futaba 401. I don't like spending money any more than the next guy, but from what I've seen so far, you get what you pay for. Where would you put the GA-250 relative to the Futaba 401 and the HK 401b ? Thanks again, Dick |

House of the Year 2014: The Ultimate New Old House
At the 2014 Country Living House of the Year in Rhinebeck, New York, our design team brings old-fashioned favorites like farmhouse architecture and pretty patterns back into fashion with fresh twists on classic style.
By Valerie Rains
Theres something so alluring about an old house, from the patina of well-worn surfaces to the romance of its storied past. But along with all that character can come costly repairs, dated fixtures, and awkward layouts. So Country Living teamed up with Charles Petersheim, founder of the Eldred, New York-based design/build firm Catskill Farms, to create a classic farmhouse that offers both historical and modern-day appeal in the picturesque village of Rhinebeck, New York. Its a true celebration of what we love about old housessimplicity, humility, authenticitywith all the functionality of a new home, says Charles.
For an equally fresh take on country style, we asked interior designers Anne Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham, of New York City-based Tilton Fenwick, to infuse the space with their signature color- and pattern-filled aesthetic. The end result: A cozy, relaxed home that effortlessly blends the past with the present. Come on in!

The Snozberries Taste Like Snozberries – Point Of View Make Out [VIDEO]
I haven't decided yet, is this sexy or hilarious? I know she's hot, but what about what she's doing?
I haven't decided yet, is this sexy or hilarious? I know she's hot, but what about what she's doing?
There are two things I love more than anything and that's 1: seeing animals in captivity to remind me of my freedom and 2: putting my slutty lips on them.
After watching a new viral video of some stupid pussy high school kid sucker punching another student I had a brilliant idea to bring this senseless act to the work place.
In just a few more months, rock fans are in for the show of a lifetime when Motley Crue and Kiss hit the road together on their co-headlining trek, The Tour. The 40-date tour will kick off on July 20 in Bristow, Va. and is promised to be packed full of the same edge that both bands have always had.
Rihanna may have inadvertently been the victim of a bashing of current pop stars by Tommy Lee and Gene Simmons, but it's clear they are not fans of pop stars lip-syncing.
On last night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, KISS guest-starred and performed a two-song set for the Hollywood audience. The videos can be seen after the jump.
It's here, and it's coming to a town near you! The highly anticipated super summer tour featuring KISS and Motley Crue has finally been announced and all dates have been revealed!
After weeks of rumors, Motley Crue singer Vince Neil has confirmed that the Crue will join forces with KISS for a co-headlining U.S. tour this summer. The rocker spilled the news about the trek in a new interview with the Las Vegas Sun.
It's hard to make a band last these days, but the ones that do can take note from older, successful bands that basically shaped heavy metal. KISS is one of those groups, and they've been together for about forty years now! What's their secret? Continue after the jump to watch the 22-minute video featuring front man Paul Stanley discussing the band's success and how they plan to stay relevant after all these years.
Blockbuster tour alert! Well, if all those rumors about Motley Crue breaking up after their Las Vegas residency were getting you down, here's a new rumor to cheer you up! The rock site BraveWords has it on good authority that Motley Crue and KISS are gearing up to join forces for a mega fall 2012 tour run.
Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley have new books out on the market and those books have now hit the New York Times best seller list.
In the biggest comic book crossover since Eminem crossed paths with the Punisher, the guys from KISS are meeting up with Archie and the gang from Riverdale High.
The four-part series won't begin until November 30, but you don't have to wait until then to get a good look — 'Archie Meets KISS' has debuted its very own trailer, and you can watch it now.

ESPN.com: Page 2 | [Print without images] |
If it seems like a lifetime since Oregon and Auburn last played, you'd be right ... if you were a bee.
The two undefeated teams -- who play Monday night in the BCS Championship Game -- last played on the same day, Dec. 4, which means the Ducks and Tigers will have had 36 days off between games.
Poor honeybees might never see Oregon or Auburn play in their lifetime. |
That's enough time for:
• The average worker honeybee to live its entire life of 28-35 days.
• The pomp and pageantry of 34 other college football bowl games.
• One university -- Pitt -- to hire AND fire the same football coach, Mike Haywood, over a 16-day span, with time left over for speculation about a new candidate.
• The Miami Heat to completely turn around their season. Since beating Atlanta Dec. 4 to improve to 13-8, Miami has gone 15-1 while Oregon and Auburn have gone 0-0.
• A college football fan to walk from Vancouver, B.C., to Glendale, Ariz., the site of Monday night's matchup -- a distance of 1,220 miles (at an average speed of 3 mph for 12 hours a day).
• The L.A. Angels to whiff on just about every big-name free agent that was rumored to be Anaheim-bound, including Carl Crawford, Jayson Werth, Adrian Beltre and Cliff Lee.
And, with five days left before kickoff, there's still time for about 23 college football coaching changes.

Tips to Improve Retrospectives
Advice from Esther Derby, George Dinwiddie, Jo Geske, Mike Sutton and Ilja Preuss on how to make retrospectives better. The ideas include tips for the facilitator/Scrum Master and new ways to use the burndown chart.
Overcoming Resistance to Change
Any change whether an Agile implementation or re-arranging the office furniture is going to encounter some resistance. The real question is how we react when that happens. Dave Nicolette and Lasse Koskela's workshop - was designed too help us understand where resistance comes from and how to handle it.
Software Development: A Traffic Jam Waiting To Happen
Software development is Hard. One of the main reasons is that it is a complex adaptive system. Agile - when done right - seems to do a very good job of providing stabilizing feedback.

When I first heard this week is National Volunteer Week I immediately thought of all the fantastic volunteers I work with on a daily basis. All year long, I work with League volunteers around the country, supporting their efforts to reach and help inform voters through our national voter information site, VOTE411.org.
This morning I was thrilled to visit with over 100 students visiting Washington, D.C. through the Close Up Foundation, which brings thousands of high school students from around the country to our nation's capital each year to inform, inspire, and empower them to exercise their rights and accept the responsibilities of citizens in a democracy. Each student group spends a week touring the U.S.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This guest blog post was written by Katherine Gavzy, president of the League of Women Voters of Oakland.
Every year, millions of voters across the country head to the ballot box to vote in primary elections. Primaries, a key part of our voting system, are held for most public offices when there are multiple candidates, usually from the same party, seeking office. Primaries offer a crucial opportunity for voters to take control and weigh in on the issues that matter to them most.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This blog was written by our intern, Kelsey Greenagel
I am currently a college sophomore interning at the League of Women Voters' national office in Washington, D.C. Many people in the office were surprised to learn that this is not my first time working with the League.
2013 may not have been a federal election year, but it was still an important year for voting and elections, which means that League volunteers, members, staff and supporters worked tirelessly once again Making Democracy Work®.

Company spotlight on ITS Energy Services - provider of equipment, services and manufacturing support within the Oil & Gas Industry
ITS Energy Services, a leading provider of equipment and services to the global oil and gas industry, has recently expanded its inventory with the addition of a range of premium oilfield drilling tools. The ITS Energie Drilling Jar and ITS Energizer are a new generation of products designed specifically to combat some of the most severe conditions that are prevalent in today's drilling environment.
Manufactured at purpose built facilities in Taloja (near Mumbai), India, and with plans to open a Houston base in the near future to service increasing demand, these proprietary tools represent the latest step forward for the company as it strives to provide customers with efficient and cost-effective equipment from its worldwide locations.
Founded in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1986 the ITS Group operates from 25 facilities in 16 countries - including US, Trinidad, Mexico, Venezuela, Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan and Singapore - with a worldwide workforce of 1,100 employees. The Group provides a wide range of oilfield services including drilling and pressure control equipment, fishing, casing running and machine shop services. The ITS Energie Drilling Jar and ITS Energizer, which are already in commercial operation, will further strengthen the company's core service streams.
ITS Energie Drilling Jar
The ITS Energie Driling Jar is a tool used to apply an intensified force to free a stuck component of the drill string which unless otherwise removed is preventing continued drilling. The tool operates by stretching the drill string which in turn causes potential energy to be stored inside the string. When the jar reaches its maximum point of extension, it "fires" and converts this stored energy into kinetic energy to deliver an impact blow to the object stuck downhole.
The ITS Energie Drilling Jar is hydraulically operated but also incorporates mechanical properties to create an integrated double-acting drilling jar that can fire upwards and downwards. The design includes a hydraulic time delay which allows the operator to vary the jarring force before applying the drawworks brake – this gives smooth control over the impact load and ensures damage to the hoisting equipment is easily avoided. In terms of its mechanical features, a mechanical lock setting prevents movement of the jar during normal operations and averts unnecessary wear of the internal components.
ITS Energizer
In instances where the force from the ITS Energie Drilling Jar alone is insufficient to free the drill string, the operator can amplify the impact through the use of the ITS Energizer. This is a two-stage mechanically designed tool that not only increases the chances of freeing the component lodged downhole but also protects drill string and rig surface equipment through the absorption of shock waves caused by the jarring action.
Developed after recognising that demand for a reliable and cost-effective drilling jar package existed across several markets, the ITS Energie Drilling Jar and ITS Energizer are designed to operate under varying downhole conditions. The tools can be deployed in both vertical and horizontal wellbores and are available in two settings: a standard offering allows 350 rotating hours in temperatures of up to 275°F while a package aimed at combating a tougher environment provides 200 rotating hours in temperatures of up to 450°F. The robust design and durable operational qualities of these tools make them suitable to withstand some of the harshest drilling conditions such as high-torque and directional drilling.
G. V. Anand, General Manager of ITS India said, "Our extensive experience in the industry has proven that reliability is of critical importance to our customers. Customers want equipment that is well designed and well manufactured – tools that they can count on to get the job done on time and every time. In designing our ITS Energie Drilling Jar and ITS Energizer, we believe we have created two tools that rank amongst the best in industry for reliability and efficiency"
