(This is Neil) Tomorrow, August 6, is the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord in both the West and the East. The Orthodox priest John Breck has written a reflection for the feast as his latest "Life in Christ" column. Fr Breck's column should make it clear that we do not understand the Transfiguration if we think it merely some sort of "proof" of Christ's divinity. As Eastern Christians will sing in one of the hymns for the feast, "Today all mortal nature shines with the divine Transfiguration/And cries with exultation" (my emphasis).
I've posted on theosis before here, but it is a subject that certainly requires more sustained reflection. Very briefly, we can say that when we speak of ontological communion with God, we do not mean:
1. That we are united with the essence of God. We are united with the "uncreated light" (or "energy") that radiates from God's essence.
2. That our human nature is replaced. Our nature partakes of the divine nature without being consumed or destroyed. (As another Orthodox priest writes, "By our very nature, we can surpass even as we possess our nature …")
3. That theosis is a human accomplishment. We are only united with God because God's Word assumed our human nature.
4. That theosis can be reduced to a method, formula, or doctrine. It surpasses our intellectual capacities.
Here, then, is an excerpt from Fr Breck for the feast of the Transfiguration:
St Gregory Palamas similarly stresses the intimate link between the Transfiguration of Christ and our own transformation into his divine glory. "In his incomparable love for men, the Son of God did not merely unite his divine Hypostasis to our nature…but, O incomparable and magnificent miracle! He unites himself also to human hypostases, joining himself to each of the faithful by communion in his holy Body. For he becomes one body with us (Eph 3:6), making us a temple of the whole Godhead (Col 2:9). How then would he not illuminate those who share worthily in the divine radiance of his Body within us, shining upon their soul as he once shone on the bodies of the apostles on Tabor? For as this Body, the source of the light of grace, was at that time not yet united to our body, it shone exteriorly on those who came near it worthily, transmitting light to the soul through the eyes of sense. But today, since it is united to us and dwells with us, it illumines the soul interiorly" (Triads I.3.38).
Fr John Meyendorff gives a poignant commentary on this passage. "Since the Incarnation, our bodies have become 'temples of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us' (1 Cor 6:19); it is there, within our own bodies, that we must seek the Spirit, within our bodies sanctified by the sacraments and engrafted by the eucharist into the Body of Christ. God is now to be found within; He is no longer exterior to us. Therefore, we must find the light of Mount Tabor within ourselves. The apostles had only an exterior vision, for Christ had not yet died and risen from the dead, but today we are, all of us, in living reality members of His Body, the Church."

Highly efficient optical Fredkin gate with weak nonlinearities and classical information feed-forward |
JOSA B, Vol. 30, Issue 2, pp. 355-361 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (267 KB)
A scheme is proposed to implement the optical quantum Fredkin gate with weak
nonlinearities and feed-forward. The distinctive feature of the present scheme
is that the present Fredkin gate has four sets of possible output ports, and the
total success probability for each set of the output ports is near 1/4 without
ancillary single-photon. The present scheme requires nonlinear strength of the

Ticket #2941 (closed defect: fixed)
Mapfile parser could leak sensitive data
Reported by: | sdlime | Owned by: | sdlime |
Priority: | high | Milestone: | 6.0 release |
Component: | Documentation - MapServer | Version: | unspecified |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | |
Cc: | jmckenna, dmorissette, mko |
The MapServer mapfile parser could leak sensitive data by opening a arbitrary file and erroring out. Problem is that the error will output the offending token as part of an error message. It's possible then for someone to create a symlink to a sensitive file with the link named something.map and the CGI (if running as a privileged user) could return a portion (the first token) of that file.
An initial solution is to force the mapfile parser to look for the MAP token to start a file and if not present to issue a "this doesn't look like a mapfile" error.
Note this is not a complete fix. It's possible that in the future sensitive data files starting with the token MAP could be defined. We'll look for ways to tighten this up in an upcoming release (6.0).

It's a direct prequel to "Balance of Terror," showing how and why the Commander was sent on the mission depicted in that episode. Therefore it must take place very soon before BoT, only as much time as it takes to travel from Romulus to the Neutral Zone.
And I'm confused. The

the Byrne story. So how can you have just read it and not read it yet?

Eat This, Not That: Healthier Carb Substitutes
Early in your healthy eating journey, it's not uncommon to rely heavily on familiar foods - foods that you're comfortable with and that happen to fit your new eating parameters.
Take a single day in your new eating routine, for example. At breakfast, scrambled eggs with a side of avocado are great tasting, familiar and filling. Grilled chicken salad works well for an at-work lunch. Baked tilapia with steamed broccoli make for a quick and easy dinner option that can be seasoned for added flavor. No doubt, that's a healthy day of eating!
Extrapolate that day's worth of healthy meals into a week or two (or a month), however, and you're sure to run into "meat and veggie" burnout. (And you thought it was just you....)
If you find yourself pining for variety or missing your favorite foods, stop now and release the guilt. (Doesn't that feel good?) You have so many more options than you might think! Are you ready for some new healthy menu choices? Check out these "eat this, not that" alternatives for instant mealtime inspiration.

Immigration at Nong Khai enforced the new regulations back in Oct 2006, but then promptly dropped them about 2 or 3 months later.
They have just reintroduced them again. No warning, nothing.
I went to Vientiane on Friday to get my visa renewed, and met a shedload of people who had been refused entry back into T'land. Some of them were people with things like wives, kids, houses and cars too.
I'm trying to help one guy I met who's in a real pickle.
Does anyone know of another Lao/Thai crossing where he can get stamped back in? I.E. Savannakhet/Mukdahan.
Thanks for this update, ScorpioPower. Honestly, I thought this rule was enforced at all borders since 2006.
Very sad indeed. The only thing for them to do is go to Vientiane and apply for a tourist visa. Truly hope they have enough money and time to do so.

That's what I told him to do, but he's got very little money. He literally has enough for one more night in a cheap guesthouse and a bus to Savannaket.
I hope that someone like Kenkannif is reading this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never knew they stopped enforcing the law. I've always been told by immigration Nongkhai that I have to go to the embassey after 2 30 day stamps. I do have sympathy for those caught out but what are people doing crossing the border and not having at least a little money on them. 34 dollars to get into Laos and 1000 baht for a tourist visa. good on you for trying to help
Could be something with all the border posts now being computerised and linked. I think this has just started.
this is something I dislike about Thailand. If they sticked to the rule there would be no problems - people would know what to expect etc. But they drop it, and then reintroduce it without any notice. Stupid.
Sorry Scorpio but I have no idea about borders and their rules but looks like applying for a new visa is your friend's only option.
New academic year begins soon, so maybe they are waiting for bribes to pay for their children's books and uniforms - this is what the police in Buriram are doing.

That's what happens when you have a visa on arrival stamp. Tourist visas (the stickers) are renewable indefinitely.

Excuse me for not taking this seriously .....
I'd rely on Thai Visa Forum for any official matters...and a phone call to the consulate in Ventianne always helps.
The stamp you get in your passport is not a tourist visa. It is a visa on arrival. A tourist visa comes from an embassy out of the country, and is for two months (either single or multiple entry) and can be extended for another month at immigration. You can get three of these and then you have to do two border runs.....and then you can repeat the process again

It was the "renewable indefinitely" line I didn't really understand

But you can't renew them indefinitely ..... only for a few weeks

You should stick to planes with wing loadings of under eight ounces per square foot and use mandrel formed rubber for the histart. The mandrel formed rubber will stretch more and store more energy with less tension than extruded surgical tubing. The combination of a good rubber and light wing loading will allow you to get full height launches with less tension and less strain throwing the model properly. Such a model will accelerate to flying speed quicker because its stalling speed will be lower. If the tow hook isn't too far back it won't veer on launch. You can get mandrel formed rubber from Aerofoam. The model that starts to veer on launch should be given a touch of down elevator and the down held to get the plane out of a stall during launch. |

Thanks for the tips Ollie. I'm going to try to live with my current plane and highstart until the winter "building season" arrives, which I suspect will be within the next month or so. I may have a lighter glider and/or better highstart next year. Having said that, I know at least part of the problem is my technique since I have had two really good straight launches out of ten so far.
I have been using down elevator along with rudder to get it under control when it veers off to the side. Definitely helps to prevent pop-offs during the high-g turn. |

Ollie brings up one very good point. Your tow hook should be in the most forward hole. My spirit came from the factory with the hook in the middle hole. I had to open the front hole.
The more foreward position will give you excellent launches with the greatest stability. As you go further back, the launchs may get higher, but the launch gets less stable. Frankly, with the hook all the way up front I am launching about as high as my hi-start will go and get a good zoom off the end. |

Flew the Spirit again today. The forward towhook was a big help. Did two good winch launches, one with a more experienced pilot on the pedal, and one on my own. The winch really gets it high! I even caught a little lift. Didn't climb much, but I was able to stay up longer then usual. Later there was a mechanical problem with the winch so it was packed up and I used my hi-start for a while. Got in three nice launches with that as well. Then it happened...
On my fourth and final launch something went terribly wrong. I think maybe there was a strong gust of wind from the side, or maybe I just dumb-thumbed it, not really sure. Anyway, it got up about 15 feet and then fliped over so the nose was pointing down. I tried to save it but just couldn't turn it over fast enough. There was a loud bang and a shower of balsa wood. The wing was a total loss. The rubber bands cut through the center section, and the tips shattered. Amazingly enough, the fuse and tail look fine. Would not have believed that was possible with a balsa plane. I have not tested the radio gear yet, though I'm hoping it all survived as well. I ordered a "Gentle Foamy" a couple days ago, just in case something like this was to happen, so I'll be back in the air again soon. Maybe after I've flown the foamy for a while I'll build a new wing for the Spirit. Or maybe not. I only paid $35 for this one, and it came with two standard servos. I think I got $35 worth of value from it as I have found out that I really enjoy flying sailplanes. |

Sorry to hear of your loss. I to smashed up my Spirit, but I did it on a bad winch launch.
How did you get a side gust. You are supposed to be launching into the wind! One of the things I like about the hi-start is that I can move around as the wind moves. so, if it moves off to my right a little bit, I just walk left with the plane hooked up until the ribbon on my radio antena is straight. Here are a few ideas. I hope you gathered up everything at the field. I thought my wings were totaled as well. Two weeks later I put them on the table and stripped off the covering. They were no where near as bad as I thought. I am fixing them now Watch e-bay for low priced spirit kits or ARF sailplanes. This link goes to an ARF Cirrus which is almost a clone of a spirit. Currently it is going for $38. It will probably go final at abround $55. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...gory=2563&rd=1 At tower Hobbies, a spirit kit $47, a wing set is $60 and a Spirit ARF is $95. A spirit RTF, including the radio, receiver and servos is $139 RTF. I got a kit on e-bay for $20+10 shipping. I am using the plans from that to help me fix the one I have been flying. My launches off the hi-start are as high as the winch, so my only reason to go to the winch is to enter competitions where the winch is required. Now, tell me more about this foamie. Can you hi-start launch it???? |

The wind was quite variable. All of my successful launches were into the wind. Guess I just wasn't paying enough attention on that last launch.
Here's a link to the home page for the foamy: http://www.isthmusmodels.com/mtntoy/gentle.html It's supposed to be OK to winch launch it. My hi-start is a bungie type, so it only takes the plane 1/2 as high as the winch, but it's still plenty high enough for sport flying. I saved the fuse, but left the wing parts in the trash. Just didn't seem like it would be worth the trouble to fix it. I'll keep an eye out for Spirit kits on e-bay for when I feel ready to rebuild it. |

You don't mention the size or length of the bungee elastic, but I know that a 5/16 Dynaflite heavy Duty hi-start with 100' of elastic and 350' of line gives a great launch to a two meter Spirit. It will will take the plane up very high with a gentle launch. www.towerhobbies.com $60 If you plan to move on to larger sailplanes some day, you might select the NE Sailplanes Standard hi-start. Mine has 1/2" rubber and will take a 3 meter plane up to full height. My Spirit goes up very agressively, nothing soft about the launch. Since I don't pull it back as far as I would on the Dynaflite, I don't need as much room. If there is a breeze I could probably add another 50-100 feet taking it to 500' of line + 100' of tubing. Just some thoughts. If you are commited to and have full access to a winch, then you probably don't care about hi-start alternatives. |

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.
My friends tell me I am the instigator. It's true, I like to get things started and have a good time. I laugh often, smile freely, and strike up conversations with complete strangers. I love great wine, great food, cooking together, road trips and exploring new places, reading, concerts, golf and dancing. I have lived in Seattle for 20 years and consider it home. I grew up on the east coast and went to high school in Miami. I have several good friends there and go back every couple years. I like cooking and enjoying a great meal. Our family mantra was "food is love" and the Italian in me loves to feed the people in my life. I have a good sense of humor and a fast wit and will get people laughing even in the most tense times. My daughter is my highest priority and I am (I hope) raising her to be a loving, confident girl. She is very social and is a great travel partner. We have been on some great trips together. I am a single parent with a great kid. If you don't like kids, stop here. I like a man who is confident but not arrogant, willing to try new things, physically fit and enjoys being active. If you love red wine and cooking, that's bonus points... I am looking for my travel partner, movie buddy, my love and my best friend. He will be comfortable in his own skin and enjoy socializing with friends and family. I know you're out there! I like winks, who doesn't? But if you want to strike up a conversation you have to say something!!

I often don't care, but sometimes, I do, and I don't like what I see.
*strokes magnificent French beard* Yes definitely!
Its not about liking or not liking what I see...sometimes I recognise it sometimes I cant! : )
Yes,but its the person i dont see who i like.
when I look in the mirror, I see someone who is finally getting what life is all about, and as I'm a late bloomer, I understand that the struggle to get where I"m at came at a steep price, but I"m not too upset about it.
Yeah...Best thing I ever did for myself was learn to love my appearance! Now I feel pretty everyday :)
a taboo
I think that's how it is for most people
I don't care.

i never look in the mirror much but i dont have a problem with how i look

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU's Todd Graham wary of dangerous Colorado team
Life in the Pac-12 has been a rough ride for the Colorado Buffaloes.
Since joining the conference in 2011, the Buffaloes are just 6-24 overall and 3-17 in Pac-12 play.
Despite any noticeable change in the standings, the Buffs are playing much better under new head coach Mike MacIntyre, who was brought in from San Jose State to replace Jon Embree.
"I think they're very well coached," ASU head coach Todd Graham told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Friday. "(MacIntyre's) got them playing with some spirit, too. I mean, they were beating Oregon last week in the first quarter, I think it was 10-8. They came out an onsides kicked the opening kickoff and the kicker they've got is really good at it.
"They play with no fear, obviously they don't have anything to lose."
Colorado (2-2, 0-2 Pac-12) started out the season with wins over in-state rival Colorado State and Central Arkansas. It was the first time CU had won back-to-back games since beating Iowa State and Kansas State in November of 2010 -- their final year in the Big 12.
One of the reasons for Colorado's improvement has been the defensive effort. The Buffs have allowed an average of 155.8 yards per game on the ground -- they yielded 226 yards rushing per contest last season.
"Defensively, I think Coach Mac has got them playing to where they have some consistency about what they're doing schematically," Graham said. "They're keeping games close in the first and second quarter and the danger of that is kind of like last year -- you're expected to go out and run over a team like this."
The offensive star for the Buffaloes has been wide receiver Paul Richardson, who is back after missing 2012 with an ACL injury. The junior is averaging 155 yards per game, a figure good for second in the conference. He's already scored five touchdowns and has two 200-yard games on his 2013 ledger.
"They've got a wideout, in the Richardson kid, that's as good as there is in this league," the ASU head coach said. "He can beat you deep, he threw a touchdown pass against Oregon and scored another one. He's up there with Jaelen (Strong) and (USC's) Marqise Lee as far as the caliber that he is."
All that said, the Devils (3-2, 1-1) are prohibitive favorites going into Saturday night's game in Tempe. That doesn't matter much to Graham.
"Anybody can beat anybody in this league, and obviously we talk to our players about that."

I have been thinking about mindfulness and how grateful I am that it exists. As I wrote here in a poem yesterday, mindfulness is how I become aware that I am not aware or have not been aware lately. Mindfulness is how I somehow manage to wake up from whatever distraction I have recently been lost in.
Lucky for me, when I space out in a daydream or another meaningless distraction I eventually wake up and become aware that I am day-dreaming again or have managed once again to get off the track of whatever I had set out to do.
How it happens that I ever wake up at all is something of a mystery. Some little something jars my attention and breaks my train of thought and I am back again in the present. How fortunate that is!
The Tibetans mind training texts state over and over again that any kind of gap, break, or interval in our daily routines is to be treasured as an opportunity to realize the actual nature of our own mind and to be present again. For me it can be as simple as a loud noise like a car backfiring or the whack of something falling to the ground, the snap of the fingers, or the telephone ringing – an interruption.
Regardless of what causes the interruption or gap, it breaks my deer-in-the headlights stare into nothing-very-real and I am once again back and fully present. I somehow remember to wake up. How incredible that there is something that breaks my trancelike distraction and returns me to active use!
The reason I study Tibetan mind training practices like sitting meditation is all about learning to mind these gaps and increasingly take advantage of them to wake up more and more of the time. This mindfulness training is an exponential curve that while tough at first gets easier and easier with practice until I am present more of the time than I am distracted, well, at least more of the time than I was.

2011 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Premium
ProsGreat for city driving, reliable in terms of traction in wet/snow pavement, enough to do groceries and move mid size loads, grate visibility, sitting for the driver, good for singles, couples and small families. Sport shiftier, drives like SUV, but a bit better gas millage. To fill up your tank is around $40 I like it much better than my Toyota Corolla LE 2001 in terms of handling but sure you can't compare gas usage:) ConsStarted having minor issues at 38.000 miles Power steering fluid leaks and for some reason problem changing my oil. Not sure if that isa car issue or dealership issue yet. About to figure it out and will let you all now!
Good Car — Like most in this car. Personally, I have taken for a test drive a few Subarus at the dealership. The new 2014 are great feel but NOT at all different from 2011 and I like the interior accessories MUCH MORE in 2011. As for the variable engine in the new Subaru, I can;t make a judgment sins I am not knowledgeable enough:) However, my sport shift option is great. It is not a turbo version, which has it's pros and cons in terms of necessity, price, service and costs. I find new mirrors lighting in the 2014 are destructing more than useful, but like the fact that they have a heated exterior heating option. Primary Use: Family transportation

2011 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Limited
ProsExcellent handling car in all weather and road conditions!! Power everything, nice speakers for Sirius Satellite Radio! The sun roof is awesome. ConsWindshield replaced chip turned into a crack.
Love My Subaru — First time Subaru owner and loved it; we received great advice/support from Associated Sales in Marshfield and Kocourek in Schofield. This car was used for daily commuting and we never had a backache. We were able to use the back to haul car parts and our dogs very comfortably. Highly recommend this car. Please test drive and see for yourself!!! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2011 Subaru Forester 2.5 X
ProsGreat handling, as expected. Cargo area is the next best thing to having a pick-up! ConsGive up MPG for AWD.
More Than I Expected — Roomy front row with an intuitive layout of dash. Back seat is a little tight for adults but great for kids. Much larger cargo ability than I first thought - much better than similar models! Feel extremely save driving the vehicle - especially in snow/ice! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2011 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Premium
ProsImpressive acceleration; easy handling; Interstate speeds cruising with ease; quiet on most paved road surfaces; easily navigate through sugar sand; good manners on wet roads and through puddles; irons out "washboard" surfaces and small potholes on unpaved streets; numerous cubbys and storage areas; good options selections; expansive sun/moon roof Conspassenger seat needed to sit higher (corrected in 2012 models); styling is a problem for some; 5/6 speed automatic transmission needed for better gas mileage and improved performance
Subaru Really Is Love — Subaru professes that LOVE is a Subaru. A few minutes driving this small SUV will convince you of that. The Subaru Forester has the quiet, comfortable ride of a larger car; the quickness and agility of a sports sedan; and the ability to go almost anywhere with its all-time, all-wheel drive. Combined with its reputation for durability and longevity, your Forester should provide years of solid, reliable service. Great fit/finish, solid feel to all moving parts and good selection of interior fabrics/colors give this small subie a refined look. Whether driving up to the country club entrance or plowing through sand on the beach, the Forester looks and feels the part of a more expensive vehicle. Take it from a Honda CRV owner, Subaru makes a better Honda than Honda. Love the subie and it will love you back. |
2011 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Limited
ProsSame reliability ConsStill looking for something wrong
Give It A Test Drive And You'll Love It. — A great small SUV made better. Engine redesigned and is more zippy. Same power at lower RPM and more torque so it gets up and jams. New cloth pattern looks great and has a nice nubby feel. The radio has some extra features as well, haven't quite figured them all out. Runs quieter than the 2010 model.

The Traxxas F150 Raptor was my first RC. I quickly started buying up upgrades and have changed everything at least twice. It's not a Slash anymore now that the few parts that were Traxxas are being replaced by Proline parts. Only the endlinks and front bulkhead were stock..now the truck will be full on proline with everything that Anza makes. I plan on racing this truck and running it on the street a little. TBH it looks so good just sitting on the shelf that it will be hard to take it out
These are the parts that are already installed:
Anza CF LCG Chassis
Anza CF front shock tower kit
Anza CF rear shock tower kit
Anza captured shock mounts
Anza kingpin ball stud castor blocks
Anza 1deg rear hub carriers
Anza captured hinge pin set
Anza wheel hexes
Anza hinge pin brace x2
Traxxas aluminum knuckles
Proline Performance transmission
Proline Powerstroke shocks
Proline Protrac kit
Proline Performance Steering kit
Proline Extended thumbscrew body mounts
Proline Protrac 17mm adapters
Proline Protrac beadlocks w/ Calibers
Proline Protrac wheels w/street fighters
MIP C-CVDs
Traxxas Velineon esc/motor
Spektrum DX4s/SR301 tx/rx
Hitec metal gear servo
I recently ordered the following parts:
Proline precut Flotek Raptor body
Proline shock rebuild kit (2)
Proline f/r tuning springs
Proline anti-squat blocks
Proline hard anodized pivot ball and rod ends
Proline f/r bumpers
Proline renegade beadlock
Proline spare front arms (2)
Dynamite front swaybar
Proline spare extended body mounts
here it sits now
Tonight I am working on rebuilding the shocks. I took them all apart and decided that I should de-anodize them. A lot of the paint was chipped and they were in rough shape. I ordered BadHorsie shock socks today to keep the springs in better shape.

Here's a portrait I did as a Christmas gift for fellow artist Kevin Wueste. This is 11 x 14 graphite on Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper. I used 0.5mm Pentel P205 mechanical pencils with 4H, 2H, H, B, and 2B leads. I used a blended circulism technique using a medium tortillion, cotton swabs, soft tissue paper, and a hake brush for blending tools.
I love the expression, and the cast of shadows

Skymaster 2M ViperJet
We have been working with Kenny McSpadden and Acme Jets over the last year to perfect the latest version of our fan system. Our new system is capable of sustained 20,000 watts even with high g-force loads. The main shaft now starts out as a 30mm diameter solid billet piece of tempered steel. That is turned down to 8mm, except for the very end which is turned down to 26mm x 6mm wide (an end plate), which is then drilled with counter sinks The shaft is pressed into the end bell and then 4 screws are used to secure the end plate directly to the end bell. This prevents the ability of the bell to wobble at all. There is also now a molded strain relief for the wires. We still are using 3 huge high quality Japanese bearings. The end result is a very reliable system that is able to take the place of mid-range (120N/130N) turbines. Our next focus is on a larger fan system (175mm) to power models in the 50 pound range with 160N size turbine performance.
Kenny flew his ViperJet at the Big Jolt this past weekend. He recorded a fast pass of 195.6MPH. This is a 33 pound 2 meter Skymaster ViperJet. It is normally turbine powered, and no attempt was made to save weight anywhere. This is just a direct conversion from a turbine aircraft to an electric aircraft. John Reid at Model Airplane News was nice enough to donate the use of his high definition video camera and got some great on-board footage of Kenny flying around. That can be found here: http://www.modelairplanenews.com/blo...ideo-coverage/ Here is a Youtube video as well.
As we find more videos that pop up, I will link to them in this thread. Thanks to Kenny for being such a good sport, and helping us test our fan system! UPDATE! Our production motors arrived today! The strain relief is rubber now instead of hard plastic (making it easier on wires), there are isolator barriers to prevent wiring chaffing during winding (no nicks can occur by accident now which happens sometimes with machine winding), the billet shaft cap is machined nicely with black screws, the collar retainer is used instead of a C-clip, making the shaft a full 8mm diameter. Other small changes were made for alignment in our hubs. ImagesView all Images in thread

Steve, since when can you not machine a piece that is already pre-tempered? I was told that the tempering was done prior to machining to prevent a change in the material size that occurs during the tempering process. Perhaps you can check with our factory and let me know if the tempering is really done after the fact. If so, I will correct the statement above.

Truly hard steel is not nice to machine--it is usually ground to size. |

You are right about to what you say..but I am not sure as this will happen with this ESC. It looks like a modern chocolate bar. NS. |

Apple iPad 2 Tops Consumer Reports' Tablet Ratings
Apple iPad 2 Tops Consumer Reports' Tablet Ratings
Nicholas Kolakowski
Posted 2011-04-05
Apple's iPad 2 has earned top marks in Consumer Reports' tablet ratings. The publication also issued some pointers for buying tablets.
Consumer Reports may have longstanding issues with the iPhone 4, but its editors have decided to give a big thumbs-up to the new iPad 2. The publication tested 10 tablets, including the Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab, before deciding that the 32GB iPad 2 with WiFi and 3G ranked highest across 17 criteria ranging from portability to touch-screen responsiveness. The first-generation iPad apparently tied with the Motorola Xoom, which runs the tablet-optimized Google Android 3.0 ("Honeycomb") and is widely regarded as the iPad franchise's most robust competition.
"So far, Apple is leading the tablet market in both quality and price, which is unusual for a company whose products are usually premium priced," Paul Reynolds, Consumer Reports' electronics editor, wrote in an April 5 statement. "However, it's likely we'll see more competitive pricing in tablets as other models begin to hit the market."
Consumer Reports recommends that consumers in the market for a tablet consider a higher-priced device. "With prices for the best tablets still too high for many budgets, consumers may be tempted by lower-priced competitors. Don't be," the publication wrote in an April 5 statement. "Tests have found the performance of models costing $300 and under to be at best mediocre." Other details for consumers to consider: easy navigation, easy-to-use virtual keyboard, automatic orientation from landscape to portrait mode (and vice versa), a GPS receiver and other components for "environmental awareness," access to a full apps marketplace, high-quality display, and capacitive touch screen. Should the consumer consider an Android tablet, Consumer Reports added, "the Android tablet you buy should have at least Android 2.2 and access to the Android Market, not a secondary app market."
Consumer Reports sparked a bit of controversy among Apple fans in 2010, when it refused to recommend the iPhone 4 on AT&T's network. In their accompanying report, the editors cited how the device's signal would die when bare skin touched the lower-left portion of the device's antenna rim. "The signal can degrade enough to cause you to lose your connection altogether if you're in an area with a weak signal," the publication's Mike Gikas

. "Due to this problem, we can't recommend the iPhone 4." Apple CEO Steve Jobs later announced that customers who purchased an iPhone 4 through Sept. 30, 2010, would be eligible to receive a free rubber bumper that covered the rim. However, the controversy continued into 2011, when Consumer Reports declined to recommend the iPhone 4 when it appeared on Verizon. "The problem is similar to the one we confirmed in July with the AT&T version of Apple's newest smartphone," the publication reported in

Forget breaking up eBay (EBAY) and PayPal. Google (GOOG) should acquire them both in a merger to create an Internet colossus, Baird Equity Research analyst Colin Sebastian suggested Monday.
E-commerce website eBay is under pressure from activist investor Carl Icahn to spin off its electronic payment service PayPal. EBay executives have resisted Icahn's calls for a breakup designed to unlock shareholder value.
In a report Monday, Sebastian said a merger of Google and eBay would be a "best of both worlds" opportunity. A Google-eBay combination is a "potentially more attractive option (that) is missing from the discussion."

A merger would unlock value for eBay shareholders and help solve two of Google's competitive shortcomings: payments and e-commerce, Sebastian said. Google Wallet and Google Checkout are payments and e-com operations, respectively, for Google.
"Google has unmatched strength in search and engineering; however, struggles with Wallet and Checkout are well documented, and the company is lacking scale with two key pieces of the platform puzzle: Payments (including credit card and transaction data) and E-commerce (marketplace)," Sebastian wrote. "We believe acquiring eBay/PayPal would be one way for Google to secure quickly a strong leadership position in commerce and payments, and likewise, could represent a better strategic option than alternatives proposed for eBay."
Google and eBay would be stronger together in the "technology and user arms race" that is unfolding among Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL) and Facebook (FB), he said.
Google potentially could offer a 40% to 50% premium for eBay over its Friday closing price of 57, Sebastian said.
EBay stock was up 1%, near 57, in early afternoon trading on the stock market today. Google was up 1.8%, near 1,194.
