Fitz & the Tantrums
Formed in 2008 around music already written by bandleader Michael Fitzpatrick, Fitz & the Tantrums came together within a week, just in time to play their first show. The chemistry was perfect, and the group's brand of rhythm and blues with a shiny modern radio style was cemented. While there's an undeniable revivalist spirit in its soul-on-wax sound, the Los Angeles sextet incorporates a personal take on what Motown made famous: Fitzpatrick's voice stands out with an almost '80s-pop twist, but it's pulled back to its roots by a pristine rhythm section, plus horns, organs and the complementary backing of Noelle Scaggs's vocals. Having shared the stage with the likes of Maroon 5, Hepcat and Flogging Molly, Fitz & the Tantrums are a band with mass appeal, one that will no doubt follow the path of soul's rebirth set by contemporaries Raphael Saadiq, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and Adele.

Holroyd has fond Barrow memories
Striker Chris Holroyd will be hoping to get on the scoresheet in this weekends FA Cup clash after scoring a brace on his previous visit.
Holroyd netted a double on his last outing in Cumbria for Cambridge, and hopes to repeat the feat if he starts the game having scored his first competitive Millers goal last weekend.
"Barrow is a happy hunting ground for me. I scored two goals the last time I was there, on a cold and wet Tuesday night," he told the Star.
The home side expect to recall veteran defender Paul Bolland for the game, meaning an unlikely start for ex-Miller Andy Nicholas.
Meanwhile loanee Brett Williams returned to action yesterday, playing 70 minutes of the reserves 4-1 defeat at Stoke, with Marcus Marshall netting the consolation from a Ben Pringle assist.

P.G. Subramanian has been busy for the last three to four days. As teacher and examination coordinator of Sir Sivaswami Kalalaya Senior Secondary School, he is scheduling plans for invigilators, preparing checklist and looking into classroom arrangements, among others. A similar atmosphere is buzzing across most schools as they make meticulous arrangements for the Board examinations.
While Higher Secondary School examination began on Monday, both CBSE and ICSE will start their Board examinations from March 3.
For CBSE schools, it would be last time that the Class X board examination are being held, following a decision on making board examination optional as that would lessen the burden on students. Other classes are getting ready for the annual examination, after a circular was issued by the Board instructing that the academic year must close by March. But the next academic year seems to be more challenging for teachers of CBSE stream as they would be adopting the new grading system for the first time. Teachers wonder if students would be at an advantage or a disadvantage with the new system going to be accessed round the year, teachers wonder.
ICSE schools are going for centralised marking system for the first time this year. "Previously, invigilators used to take the papers home for correction. Now, they sit in an allotted centre and complete the process, which we believe will make the process error-free, transparent and speed-up the result process," says Gerry Arathon, Additional Secretary and Officiating Chief Executive and Secretary, Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations.
About 56,210 ISC students from 733 schools and 1,13,449 ICSE students from 1,568 schools would be taking the examination this year. Beginning March 23, the Class X examinations of SSLC, Anglo Indian, Matriculation and OSLC streams would begin with the language paper. According to a press release from the Directorate of Government Examinations, 14,516 more students are appearing for the SSLC examination than last year. In Chennai, 17,400 students would take the matriculation examination.

Look for a design that is created to supply the storage you crave. This piece features a straight back and a curved front, providing space for both a shelf and two cabinets, which can hold anything from bedside books to extra pillows.
This sleek headboard has a secret: It includes sliding panels that open to reveal a hidden cabinet behind. If you can't find what you're looking for and have the budget to do so, consider a custom-built headboard like this example.
Different headboard designs also come extended in width with attached drawers. These drawers are handy because they corral storage while acting as built-in bedside tables.
This design features one simple drawer for the side of the bed that can make all the difference.
Consider large freestanding pieces that essentially double as storage space and headboard. These are especially convenient if you're converting a space into a bedroom that doesn't contain a closet. These pieces will ground the bed while providing ample space for clothing and necessities.
Here is an example of a much larger and likely custom-built piece that acts as a headboard as well as storage. I assume there is closet space on the other side, while the side we see comes complete with shelves and cabinetry. Adding upholstered squares makes the piece look like a more authentic headboard.
Get creative with freestanding pieces by utilizing one side as a decorative headboard and the other as ample storage, like this example. Pieces like these are ideal solutions for loft spaces or studios if you're trying to create a distinct bedroom space.
Here is a built-in piece that works double duty as a headboard on one side and a dresser on the other.
A headboard that essentially acts as a bookcase (click photo to see full view) can provide a home to a variety of items in your bedroom. This particular example is part of a custom-designed bed that includes even more storage at the base.
Don't forget to exercise a little creativity when it comes to combining storage with headboards. Consider commissioning a built-in bookshelf for your bedroom that includes a paneled rise in the center that can act as a headboard. If built-in shelves are beyond your budget, go to Ikea to see how you can re-create the look.
Here is another creative solution: the headboard shelf. Simply adding a shelf at your bed's pillow line gives the illusion of a real headboard, and likely at less cost than buying the real thing. Plus, the extra surface area provides exactly what you need: storage.
The Oppdal Headboard from Ikea provides a handy storage compartment and a stylish wood look at an affordable price.
This sleek design from West Elm anchors the bed while supplying built-in bedside tables for extra functionality.

Is Sunderland's Strike Force Next For Rebuilding?
Steven Fletcher's ankle surgery, which ruled him out of the final eight games, emphasised the club's relative paucity up front.
O'Neill invested £5million in Swansea's Danny Graham in an effort to address the problem, but he failed to score a single goal in his 13 appearances at the end of the campaign.
Stephane Sessegnon's future on Wearside remains uncertain amid speculation the club could cash in on him this summer, while Connor Wickham is yet to prove he can do the job on a sustained basis.
Is that strike-force Premiership quality?

(I though about it and I decided that I'll change the name becuase it is a little dark in some ways lol. So this is now a twisted was of world war 2)
8:36 AM - Hour 6 of German invasion
This was all that Alek could do in the hell that dominated the city. A dark, deep crimson of blood ran through the streets of London. Bodies crowded the ground as the blood of the innocent and both side of the armed forces flowed away over filling the gutters and drainage. Chaos left its devastation behind as the German troopers made their line of armored walkers and foot soldiers over the grand British Empire.
In the middle of Alek's frantic charge down the street he was forced to make a gut crunching stop to quickly find cover because a squad of German soldiers held a small post just a few streets ahead. Slamming his back against a wall's corner he cracked it and a loud pop was the outcome of him forcing the momentum.
Peering over his right shoulder, around the wall he saw that there was only about four of them with standard heavy machine-guns. They didn't seem very accurate so Alek could easily take them out with a rifle one at a time. But surprisingly, they were very accurate with them by firing in short bursts to keep as much ammo and hit their target before they were the first to join the fallen.
Upon the release of bullets, Alek quickly span to his left to cover and try to not get killed. Clenching his eyes tight over the sound of the German rounds clapping in the air and echoing in his ear, as he curled in a ball he found that he wasn't the only one curled up tight. When he finally opened his eyes he only wished that he never did, fear took over and he let out a scream.
What he saw was one of the most terrifying thing he had ever seen in his life. There was a woman, thin, with a little muscle and had long brown hair and eyes blood shot red still full of tears and he back was a field of bullet wounds, covered in blood she held a small child in her arms that only seems to be about 4. The small child was a little boy who also had blood shot eyes and only one bullet hole, which lied between his eyes. The girl reminded him of Deryn, when she was protecting their little girl in a dream he had.
This was what also covered the streets. The Germans had no mercy when it came to this total war, this was only a game to them. They were killing everything, from live stock, to animals, soldiers, and even innocent lives.The tore bodies apart and mutilated them, raping the women, burning down houses. Destroying London all together and all her people.
Horrified at what became of the people he felt a raging fire burn within his heart. He knew that must put an end to this retched war and save as many people as he could possible save until all the Germans were pushed out of London and back to where they came from.
Within his hands was a bolt action rifle, more accurate and could use less ammo and he could hit and take down all of them with almost one whole clip. Tightening his grip the only motivation that he had imprinted in his mind was that of Deryn's face and seeing that beautiful smile once again. And with that, he took aim and saw that there was a flame thrower sitting not to far from explosives. Taking in a deep breath he steadied his arm and pulled the trigger.
The explosion took care of the Germans, but more would be on their way to Investigate what happened. Alek ran past the outpost and continued his campaign to find Deryn and the others. The streets were horrible, bodies of innocent civilians were everywhere. No one was left alive and nothing could be done to reverse this devastation. Seeing how humanity can truly treat their own kind made Alek sick to his stomach. Seeing what use to be the people of London scarred him and cut a deep wound in his soul.
This was sick, and no one should die this way. Burned, ripped apart, burned with acid, raped. I'm glad that some people were executed with only a bullet to the head; so that wouldn't have to see what horror became of their friends, family, people. The streets were full of blood, so much that it left puddles and streams like when it rained and covered the ground and buildings. Only, there were almost no buildings and the ground was now home to the blood of innocent.
"I hope that Deryn is alive, in any way. Please, oh lord, please keep her alive so that I can save her." Alek prayed as his stormed through the crimson stained streets of London.
11:55 AM - Hour 9 of German Invasion
As Alek made his way through the city, he came across a small com station. A man's voice frantically screamed order and locations, and one caught his ear. There was a small group of traitors that were fighting back. They were critically wounded and falling one at a time.
Once Alek heard of this resistance he instantly thought of Volger and the others. They were all lost when they landed and it could be them. Only hoping for the best, he quietly snuck around the com station and made his way to the unknown resistance.
It took time to get there, but when he did the view was devastating. In awe he saw that the were mounds of German bodies, surrounding a small hotel. As he advanced to the hotel front the reached the main doors which were blown off and back further into the lounge was a pile of sand bags and unfortunately, what came next tore a hole in his chest. For this was an image that would be scorch into his mind and heart forever, worse than that of the civilians.
There on the floor were the bodies of the men who served on the leviathan. Their blood stained the walls and floor. Their bodies burned and full of holes. Newkirk was among the fallen, yet he seemed worse. His body was ripped apart from the waist. It seemed that he crawled closer to something leaving his lower body to lay in the blood the flowed out. His upper half was impaled with a broken pipe in the back. His eyes lids were cut off and the eyes were removed. The jaw was broken and was peeling off, only held together by muscle and ligaments.
Covering his mouth, Alek panned his vision across the room finally stopping then dropping to his knees. Right in front of his eyes were the bodies of all his trusted me, his only loving and caring family. All of them crucified to the wall and on the wall above them was the word traitor written in their blood. Refusing to watching anymore of what his friends and no longer family now hold as their decade appearance and folding in half, he vomited all over the floor.
"God's wounds. No, No, this couldn't happen to you, this should have never been if I could have only gotten here sooner, I" taking a few steps forward he fell to his knees and sobbed, crying like he has never cried before over the lost of the men that risked everything to save him. Now they hang on the wall, dead.
Suddenly he heard a gun fire, off deeper in the hotel. And wiping away tears of dread sadness, he found the strength to follow the sound. Pushing past debris and bodies, he found a stairway where the sound emitted from. Proceeding through the building he found himself on the second floor where a body was on the ground in a doorway. The body was fresh and in the room was yet another mess of blood and bodies.
"Wh-wh-who's there!" a voice called out in great pain
"Its me Aleksander! Who's here?"
Whoever called out only let a deep sigh slowly leave their lungs and past a body on a spike against the wall, was a hand that fell dropping a revolver. Alek ran over shoving the dead German body to the side and what he found hit him. He hit the lowest point with such great velocity and he couldn't do anything.
"No, no, no, why, oh lord why?" Alek cried when he fell to his knees.
There in a pool of slowly spilling blood, was what he had been searching for the whole day. The only thing that kept him pushing, fighting, struggling to survive, was the woman he loved. Deryn.
She sustained multiple bullet wound from her chest to her lower body. A knife was impaled into her left leg, it must have been freshly made because the blood was barely reaching the under part of her thigh. On the right side of her chest was a large metal pipe that was lodged deep into her body and through the wall she pressed up against. Her face was beaten and terrible bruised with a dozen of slash marks. Her clothing was also ripped but mostly holding together but soaked in her blood.
Crying, Alek rested his head of hers. Tears frantically pouring out of his eyes, so much that they fell onto Deryn's chest. Unaware of it, Deryn raised a hand to Alek's cheek. Reaching for her hand all he could do was weep.But somehow grabbed onto her hand and clenched it tight.
"Only if I was here sooner, sooner to save the others, to protect them, to protect you. Oh god, why is this happening to me. Why?" Alek cried.
With the last of her strength depleted, she only had the will to force herself to do one last thing before she died. Pulling Alek's head in close she whispered in his ear.
"Its not your fault Alek, we all knew what was to become of us. We all knew the sacrifices this would force us to make. But I want you to know, that it was an honor serving by your side even as a soldier. And even greater experience to fall in love with that prince that became a great man, and have that man love me back even for what I was." Pausing for a moment inhaling her last breath, "I love you Aleksander Ferdinand, I've always loved you and that will never change."
"I love you too Deryn Sharp, even though I never said it, you have always been an amazing soldier and even more than that, you have been , no, are the love of my life and always will be." Crying he continued, " It was an honor to have to in my life and even more to have to as someone I can call, my love."
With that, she pulled him in for one last kiss. That lasted for a short few moments, yet felt like a life time. Her hand was still on his cheek and just then a tear dropped from her bleeding face and following after was her hand that slowly fell and still in the kiss, she died in the arms of the man she loved to greatly.
Again, Alek could not hold back the tears anymore. He pulled back to have on last look at the love he held so close to his heart that died before him. Losing all hope of life he let out a scream that filled the air around him. Letting out all the sadness flow out too. With all hope lost he reached out to grab Deryn's revolver and placed the tip of the gun to his head and closing his eyes he pulled the trigger.
Frantic, he pulled the trigger only to find that the rounds have been spent. Throwing the gun he collapsed onto Deryn crying beating the wall from frustration. Just then, he felt the cold metal of a gun barrel. Sitting back up he only smiled and tears of joy were all that was left in his soul.
"Please, I beg you. Put me to sleep. I no longer wish to be apart of this world." Alek said quietly
Obeying his last wishes then mysterious man pulled the trigger and blasted a hole clear through Alek's skull. Falling on top of Deryn the man saw that there was a smile on his face, as though he found peace in dying.
Leaving the two bodies to lay in eternal rest the man who killed Alek gave him a burial fit for a king along with the rest of the men who fought and died within the Hotel.
12:30 PM - Hour 10 of German Invasion
Only half of Britain had fallen to the Germans, but with the help of allied forces, they were able to reclaim the whole country, and lay the bodies of the fallen to rest. Forever in the mists of their most beautiful man made garden.

Why are we afraid of death? What is acceptance in the face of cancer? How do I decide whose advice to take? How to relax in the certainty of death? Ought we to tell someone when they are dying or not? Is the theory of reincarnation true? What is happening around the dying? How best to support a dying person? My young daughter is asking about death: what do I tell her? How can I celebrate death as you suggest?
Osho responds to these questions and many others from those who find themselves inexplicably attracted to the subject, as well as from those who are facing imminent death and from their carers. He does not simply show how our fear of death is based on a misunderstanding of its nature; he also shows how dying is a tremendous opportunity for inner growth and how death is the most sacred of mysteries.
Death is not an event but a process, and one that begins with birth. Each exhalation is a small death; each inhalation, a rebirth. When life is lived consciously and totally, death is not a catastrophe but a joyous climax.
About the Author
The works of Osho challenge readers to examine and break free of the conditions, belief systems, and prejudices that limit their capacity to experience life in all its richness. One of the best-known and most provocative spiritual teachers of the twentieth century, Osho has been described by the "Sunday Times" of London as one of the "1,000 Makers of the twentieth century," and by the American novelist Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ." More than a decade after his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to grow, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Installed this as a wall fixture over vanity. VERY pleased with the design, qualify construction, simple straightforward installation. This is a good standalone light for a small bath, but I have added this to offset overhead recessed lights and my bath just shines!

The P-80 and the Me 262 never met in combat, but many students of aerial combat have debated what the outcome of such a battle might have been.
The Me 262 was an amazing aircraft, well ahead of its time in many ways, but it was also an aircraft that was rushed into production before all its bugs had been worked out. In the Earth-X timeline, I suppose that some, but not all, of those problems have been fixed, making it a more reliable aircraft than it was in reality. But it still has handling problems and a slow throttle response.
The P-80 had some development problems, also. Most notorious was the primary fuel pump that was powered by the main engine. This could cause engine failure if the auxilary pump was not engaged for take-off, as happened to several pilots, including America's top ace, MAJ Richard Bong. But the P-80 was a more advanced design that took advantage of the work done on earlier jet aircraft. It had power-boosted ailerons and a speed brake, both of which contributed to superior maneuverability. It was faster than the Me 262, though not by a lot, and it had greater range, much greater with its wingtip tanks that actually decreased its aerodynamic drag and improved its control response.
Although the two aircraft never met in combat, they were flown in a comparison test at Wright Field after the war. According to reports from that test, the Me 262 had a speed advantage in a dive, but the P-80 was superior in all other respects. In the Earth-X timeline, I've improved the Me 262 to make it a more even contest, but in the hands of the Blackhawks, the best pilots in the world, smart money will still go on the P-80.
See the table below for a direct comparison of the specifications and performance of the actual aircraft.

Oscura Second Shadow sees the guardian of the light return for more creepy platforming, as he attempts to stop a mysterious winged beast from plunging his world into enteral darkness.
The game world of the Driftlands is a gothic, creepy, but strangely beautiful place in which almost everything is a threat to Oscura. From grinding cogs, to poisonous neon pools, to the various disfigured inhabitants of the world, players will need to stay on their toes if they want to reach the next checkpoint unharmed. With Oscura's light to guide them through the silhouetted environments, the game has a suitably menacing quality that makes the world that much more threatening.
Fortunately, Oscura has the power to slow down time. By collecting the broken shards of the Aurora Stone he can replenish his hour glass meter, making safe passage over dangerous terrain or past deadly enemies possible. In a game where placing a foot wrong means instant death, it's a good thing that one of the standout features is the control system, which is as responsive and well-suited to touch screens as any I've seen (it's up there with League of Evil in that respect).
With only 20 levels, Oscura Second Shadow feels shorter in comparison to other platformers, but it's certainly a case of quality over quantity here. There are a number of smaller collectible cogs spread throughout each level (most of them hidden down a Super Mario-esque secret passageway), though most will be picked up on the first playthrough, so replay value really isn't this game's strong point.
Still, Oscura Second Shadow is a mesmerizing game that will consume players while it lasts thanks to its spooky art style, terrific touch controls, and classic platforming action.

Monday marked the first day you can legally buy fireworks in Shreveport. That's good news for local vendors, who weren't able to sell last year because of drought conditions. You can purchase fireworks within the city limits from now until 10 P.M. on July 5th.
The Shreveport Police Department is stressing the importance of staying safe while enjoying the 4th of July light displays. These are a few tips from them about how to protect yourself.
-Always wear safety glasses and do not wear loose clothing when using fireworks.
-An adult should always be present and supervise the use of fireworks.
-Read all labels and follow all instructions before lighting fireworks.
-Light only one firework at a time.
-Have a safe landing zone for aerial fireworks. Consideration should be given to wind direction and ignitability of everything in the landing zone.
-Have a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water on hand to extinguish an incipient fire.
-Never ignite fireworks while holding them. Put them down, then ignite them and walk away.
-Never ignite aerial fireworks where overhead obstructions (trees, eaves, wires, etc.) may interfere with trajectory into open air space. Never ignite aerial fireworks near an opening to a building.
-Do not point or throw fireworks at other people. Do not carry fireworks in you pockets. If one happens to ignite, severe burns may result.
-Always keep spectators a safe distance away.
-Dispose of fireworks only after you are sure they are completely out. If needed, spray them down with a hose and allow them to cool overnight. Treat them much as you would fireplace/stove ashes.

"A Delicious buy!"
Vudu Test Flight
It is a nice cigar, one of the best I have ever had!
Alberto Carlos in Chicago, IL July 30, 2013
"Vudu is a great value for the money"
Vudu Robusto
Great all around spicy and sweet flavor with terrific body. Can't believe it only costs three bucks a stick.
Jerry in Paso Robles, CA July 23, 2013
"If you like earthy cigars..."
Vudu Toro
Construction seemed nice and sturdy however the label was tough to get off. Couldn't get it to stay lit until after the first inch was going, then it was fine as long as you took a puff per minute. Draw was okay, moderate amount of smoke. Taste is somewhat spicy, but very "earthy" if that makes sense. I didn't taste any berry notes or sweetness of any kind, so this cigar wasn't for me.
BMW in PA July 21, 2013
"Good Everyday"
Vudu Robusto
Had a Liga Privada #9 and was very pleased with the $20 stick. Had the VUDU the next day and was very pleased with $2 stick. Not as consistent as a $20 cigar, but worth keeping 10 in the humi.
Paul M in St Paul July 12, 2013
"Great this time."
Vudu Robusto
Got 2 in a sampler. First one was strong and not too enjoyable. After 5 months in my humidor with cello on, this one was great. Smooth lots of creamy smoke and no bite. I will order more robustos.
Jim Thompson in Goose Cr, S Carolina June 11, 2013
Vudu Toro
Great cigar. So many positives. Great taste, great burn, great appearance. Wrapper is a little fragile when I took the band off. Aroma isn't that nice but that's understandable being full bodied. Recommend for sure.
Josh in Alabama April 19, 2013
"Amazing after allowed to age"
Vudu Test Flight
My first one was after having them for about 2 weeks. the draw was difficult and it burned very slowly. It was a good cigar, but did not give the satisfaction I expected. I had another one after they aged for about 2 months and it was incredible. The burn was solid, smooth, consistent, and very satisfying. It made my commute very memorable.
Dewskerz in San Diego, CA April 4, 2013
"Great taste, not thrilled with the draw"
Vudu Robusto
these have great flavor, though I'd suggest letting them rest for a few weeks. But 3 out of the 5 I've smoked so far have been really tight and have had a pretty poor draw.
Ted in Ohio April 2, 2013
"Not Too Bad"
Vudu Robusto
Picked these up not knowing what to expect, but for the price it is hard to beat. Has been a good after work smoke and aside from 1 or 2 small burn issues I have no complaints about the overall performance of the cigar, I will be buying more.
Ronald in central va March 27, 2013
"I like"
Previous Next
I new 2 real cigars so this prob mean nothing to the seasoned smokers but i like 1 of the best i've had so far wasnt harsh kinda mellow and tasty

the current code also measures the leading and trailing edges of the rx pulses independently, so the rx does not have to emit pulses serially or 22ms. furthermore, the pid controller in the middle works at a fixed rate of 10ms and hence all three stages are decoupled (input, pid, output) |

the .hex file is the firmware image file that programmers such as avrdude or extreme burner should recognize.. i made quite alot of changes during my vacation and have not had a chance to test out the latest code yet (currently in the dev branch). perhaps it would be better to wait a couple of days for me to resync and merge in the latest changes (this will include both v1 and v2 support). i just returned and need a break from my vacation thanks |

As I originally mentioned I could be wrong about this as I did not spend much time on it. What I did was setup everything to work normally with the RX3S disabled. I plugged a servo into the elevator channel and watched the way the servo moved with an up elevator command from the TX. I then enabled the RX3S and lowered the front edge of the RX3S board (opposite side from connectors) and watch the correction. It was in the proper direction, when front of board was lowered (nose going down) the RX3S added up elevator - working as expected. I then set the RX3S reverse switch for the elevator to on (reversed). What I expected to happen was that pulling the stick back on the transmitter would still be up elevator but the error correction applied by the RX3S when the front of the board was lowered would be reversed. What I found was the the RX3S still applied the same correction, but pulling the stick on the transmitter was now down elevator. This can be corrected by also reversing the elevator channel on the transmitter. It seems to me that the RX3S should never reverse the pulse coming from the transmitter, only alter the direction of the correction signal. This might explain why people are having problems when the RX3S reverse switch must be on. |

re flashing the stabiliser and although its already mentioned numerus times I think you need to put something in the first post (or link to a guide) for novice ppl not to try flashing the stabiliser with a 5v usbasp due to the gyro voltage tolerance. if they bought the HK usbasp then that's the default setting. |

Somebody got a schematic or pin configuration of the V2 already?
Internally there are soldering pads for the programmer connector. There is a DTR, RX, TX, GND connector place, which reminds me of a arduino type serial programming interface. Edit: My pin config estimate: OUT Ail-L - PD4 Elev - PD5 Rud - PD6 Ail-R - PD7 IN Ail - PB0 Ele - PB1 Rud - PB2 Aux - PB3 POT Pitch - ADC6 Yaw - ADC3 Roll - ADC1 Processor runs from 3.3V onboard regulator. |

thanks for the heads up about flashing. yea. it is important not to subject the gyro to 5v vcc. the picture i drew a few posts back would describe the alternate way to power the device for flashing, but that assumes that the processor chip running at 3.3v is 5v tolerant/compatible on the programming lines. i should add more warning. |

No, Hamadi Ali Abid doesn't have a fan club, but maybe he should. The small, but vociferous crowd at Littleton Public Schools Stadium certainly voiced their approval of the junior forward during and after Littleton's 2-1 victory over Cherokee Trail on Aug. 28, especially after Ali Abid scored the game-winning goal eight minutes into sudden-death overtime.
The speedy Ali Abid beat the defender before punching the game-winning goal into the lower right corner past Cherokee Trail goalkeeper Kamden Weis in the 88th minute.

"We were our own worst enemy," Columbine head coach Andy Lowry said. "We had some decent drives in the first half, we just couldn't finish them."
ARVADA — It took just 44 seconds off the clock, though it felt a lot longer. But that's all the time that quarterback Joey Drennan, running back turned receiver Tre Blake and the Littleton Lions needed to erase five year of season-opening doldrums.
Expanding the use of social media is a key strategy of the communications and community plan for Jeffco Open Space, which Thea Rock presented to the Open Space Advisory Committee on Aug. 7.
"We have 3,000 people who follow us on Facebook. We would like to increase that to 7,000," Rock said. Expanding Twitter followers from 1,300 to 5,000 also is in the plan, she said.
"They reach a different demographic," Rock remarked.
A recent study showed that 26 percent of the community would like to receive information about parks through e-mail, and 23 percent use the Internet, said Rock.

DENVER — Motivation matters in a sport's offseason, as golfers Lenny Urbas of Evergreen and Scott Robb of Littleton can attest.
Neither player was satisfied with his 2013 high school season and both put in the time and effort to improve for 2014. Based on the opening 4A Jeffco tournament on Aug. 13 at Foothills Golf Course, it was a fait accompli.
Chatfield returns six starters from last year's 5A state-qualifying team. But it's a misleading number, as four of those began the 2014 season in different positions.
"We just lost some key positions," coach Nicole Janssen explained of a revamped lineup for the Aug. 15 opener at D'Evelyn. "We had kids all over the place; it was really awkward for some of them."

I was wondering if anyone could ID the font used on the cover and as titles in the book accompanying the V&A exhibition "Power of Making: The Importance of Being Skilled". Doesn't even say inside what it's set in so little hope of naming the title font. I think it might be custom & there was an initial edition with a different set of fonts, I want the one with the green bits.

Geraldine Jordan with Breckland's Olympic torch at Great Dunham Primary School. Picture: Ian Burt
By SOPHIE WYLLIE
Monday, July 16, 2012
A pair of marathon mums proudly ran past mid-Norfolk school children in the final week of Breckland's own Olympic torch relay today.
The so-called Friendship Flame, which started its route in Dereham on June 17, made its way from Swaffham Community Centre to Great Dunham Primary School.
Torchbearers were Alex Vincent and Zack Chandler, a Litcham High School work experience student, followed by Geraldine Jordan and Annie Harper - both parents and keen marathon and triathlon runners.
Excited pupils from the school greeted the torch with cheers and were not put off by the wet weather.
To celebrate the event the children played table tennis, cup stacking and new age bowling, among other activities.
Ali Fisher, extended schools co-ordinator for the Litcham learning community, said: "I was very keen for the flame to come through the Litcham area and have tried to make sure that each bearer has a link to the community of schools from childcare to high school.
"We all work together in partnership on a daily basis and I wanted the relay to reflect this."
Other torchbearers included headteachers, governors, parents, childcare and support staff.
The flame will travel from Great Dunham primary to Litcham Primary School tomorrow and will then make its way past Mileham Primary School, Litcham High School and Beetley the following day (Wednesday).
It will leave Gressenhall on Thursday, will arrive on horseback in Swanton Morley on Saturday and is due to complete its route at the Dereham 5k race this Sunday.

Mary Jo White, Obama's new nominee to head a key financial regulatory agency, has quite a reputation: Sen. Chuck Schumer has called her "tough as nails," and when the president announced the pick yesterday, he warned, "You don't want to mess with Mary Jo." But when it comes to policing the big banks, is she really such a hard nose?
Many financial reformers are psyched the president chose White, the first female US attorney in Manhattan, to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, one of the federal agencies that oversees financial markets. They say that choosing someone with fierce prosecutorial experience and success in cracking down on white-collar crime signals Obama's intention to follow through on the liberal agenda he laid out in his inauguration speech Monday, and keep banks on a tight leash. At the same time, though, White has also defended Wall Street execs in private practice, and has the backing of big shots on the Street.

Stuart Staniford is unconvinced that Americans will ever warm to the idea of relying on networks of driverless cars instead of owning cars themselves:
You won't get any argument from me that driverless cars are on the way, but the idea that people will then agree to get around in networks of super-efficient automatic taxis that they don't own is, I think, complete wonkish naivety....The vast bulk of spending on cars in the US is for irrational emotional purposes: status display, feelings of safety, etc, not simple transportation....I see this in Silicon Valley in spades; parking lots dotted with Mercedes and Porsches well suited to doing 150mph on an empty autobahn or 200mph around a race-track, none of which ever get to do anything of the sort. Maybe occasionally the owner gets a break in the traffic on Highway 1 on a weekend away, but that's about it — maybe half an hour a year that they get to do what the car is actually designed for and the car ads told them it would make them feel good doing. Yet highly accomplished and rational meritocrats will cheerfully stretch the household budget to have one of these things to show off in the driveway or the parking lot at work.
As a person who drives a Porsche and doesn't even get half an hour on Highway 1 each year, I'm obviously sympathetic to this view. But I still think it's mistaken. Let me count the reasons:
Needless to say, there are still questions of whether the technology will ever work, as well as questions of liability and legal status. If those don't get resolved, the rest of this is moot. But if they do get resolved—and I fully expect them to—there's simply no way we won't see a future of car subscriptions. It probably won't happen exactly the way I expect it to, but it will happen one way or another.

Humans have long turned to substances—from beer to Prozac—to improve their outlook on life. But there's another possible remedy to the rigors of existence that doesn't get nearly as much attention: the green stuff that grows in the field, and I don't mean marijuana (though, hey, that might help, too). A new study (abstract) from Harvard researchers found a strong association between adults' levels of optimism and the amount of carotenoid antioxidants in their blood. Carotenoids are found in richly colored green and orange vegetables, including kale, sweet potatoes, carrots, and collard greens. The more servings of carotenoid-containing vegetables you eat, the results suggest, the brighter your outlook.
Of course, the researchers can't be sure that the association means a cause-and-effect relationship: It may just be that optimists are more likely to eat their veggies than pessimists, they emphasize. But unlike, say, Prozac, veggies' side effects are positive—for example, eating them improves life for the millions of beneficial microorganisms that live in our guts and keep us healthy.
If you're able to get your hands on some good product this weekend, here's a recipe for raw kale salad that may or may not brighten your outlook, but will taste really good.
As you may recall, the last few years have been fraught ones for appointments to executive branch positions. Republicans in the Senate have spent their time filibustering President Obama's appointments, thus preventing their confirmation via the regular process, while House Republicans have tried to prevent Obama from making recess appointments by refusing to agree to breaks of more than three days, thus forcing the Senate to hold sham "pro forma" sessions when they adjourned for holidays. Obama finally called out these phony sessions for what they were, and went ahead with a handful of recess appointments that Republicans had blocked.
Today, the DC Court of Appeals ruled that Obama exceeded his authority: he is allowed to make recess appointments only between congressional sessions, not during any other kind of recess. Their reasoning is based on a combination of originalism and the meaning of the word "the." Seriously:
It is this difference between the word choice "recess" and "the Recess" that first draws our attention....[In 1787], as now, the word "the" was and is a definite article. [...] Unlike "a" or "an," that definite article suggests specificity. As a matter of cold, unadorned logic, it makes no sense to adopt the Board's proposition that when the Framers said "the Recess," what they really meant was "a recess." This is not an insignificant distinction. In the end it makes all the difference. ....Finally, we would make explicit what we have implied earlier. The dearth of intrasession appointments in the years and decades following the ratification of the Constitution speaks far more impressively than the history of recent presidential exercise of a supposed power to make such appointments.

John Elwood of the Volokh Conspiracy is surprised:
It appears that the Court invalidated the use of intrasession recess appointments, which have been in pretty heavy use since WWII, and were used for a number of high-profile recess appointments, including John Bolton and Judge William H. Pryor, Jr. This is in pretty clear conflict with an Eleventh Circuit opinion and is a broader basis for invalidating the recess appointments than I anticipated. I suspect this one is destined for the Supreme Court.
Yeah, that's a pretty broad basis, all right. Not only have presidents made intrasession appointments for over 50 years, but the court seems to be saying that anything that wasn't done in the early 19th century was pretty clearly meant to be prohibited by the framers. Hoo boy.

I'm more bullish on Bobby Jindal's prospects for 2016 than a lot of people I know. Sure, he's got that exorcism thing in his past, but in four years that will be deemed "old news" and no longer something worth dwelling on. And sure, he gave a bad response to Obama's first State of the Union address in 2009, but everyone gives bad responses to State of the Union addresses. That's no big deal.
What Jindal has going for him is a peculiar combination. On the one hand, he's about as conservative as it's possible to get. On social issues he's roughly a clone of Rick Santorum, and on domestic issues he's…well, he's the guy who has the brass to suggest that Louisiana should abolish its income tax and replace it with a sales tax. In other words, he explicitly wants to lower taxes on the rich and raise taxes on the poor. Even Newt Gingrich would quail a bit at that prospect.
So that's the one hand. The other hand is that, for some reason, the media is willing—so far—to buy into his story of being a reformer who wants Republicans to stop being the "stupid party." And it's true: He's actually said that. But Jindal doesn't think the GOP needs reforming because it's drifted too far right, or because it's alienated young people and Hispanics, or because it's become too absolutist and unwilling to compromise. Quite the contrary. Jindal thinks the Republican Party isn't right-wing enough. Here he is from today's big speech preparing the soil for a 2016 run:
If any rational human being were to create our government anew, today, from a blank piece of paper—we would have about one-fourth of the buildings we have in Washington and about half of the government workers. We would replace most of its bureaucracy with a handful of good websites. If we created American government today, we would not dream of taking money out of people's pockets, sending it all the way to Washington, handing it over to politicians and bureaucrats to staple thousands of pages of artificial and political instructions to it, then wear that money out by grinding it through the engine of bureaucratic friction…and then sending what's left of it back to the states, where it all started, in order to grow the American economy. …If it's worth doing, block grant it to the states. If it's something you don't trust the states to do, then maybe Washington shouldn't do it at all.

…If it's worth doing, block grant it to the states. If it's something you don't trust the states to do, then maybe Washington shouldn't do it at all.
Later, there are pleasant rhetorical nods to looking forward, not backward; rejecting identity politics; not being the party of big business; and so forth. But that's just window dressing. Jindal's vision is plain: He endorses the most stringent social conservatism possible, alongside a breathtakingly absolutist rejection of the New Deal and everything that's come since. As Ed Kilgore says, "His 'populist vision' of conservative politics is about as new and fresh as that of John C. Calhoun, and the rhetoric has been worked to death by 'anti-Washington' politicians of both parties for decades on end."
Will the media continue to tout Jindal as a "breath of fresh air" for the Republican Party? Or will they eventually catch on that he basically wants to turn the entire country into Louisiana? We'll have to wait and see. But I think Jindal has more crossover appeal than a lot of pundits think. He's got obvious appeal to the tea party base, which loves his hard-nosed conservatism and really loves the idea of proving that they're not racists by voting for a hard-nosed conservative who's also a dark-skinned son of Indian parents. (Take that, liberals!) And the press will, as usual, be wowed by the idea of a hard-nosed conservative who has a high IQ and can discuss policy issues intelligently. The fact that Jindal is singing the same old tired song, and merely wrapping it in a thin fog of policy wonkishness, will take a while to sink in.

Americans are remarkably supportive of requiring criminal background checks to buy a gun, banning civilans from buying armor-piercing bullets, and spending more government money training law enforcement officials to deal with mass shootings, a new poll by Gallup finds. No fewer than nine in ten people said they'd support requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales, Gallup found; eight in ten said they'd vote for more government spending on mental health programs for young people and also on more training for police officers and school officials to respond to armed attacks. Indeed, the least popular of the nine gun-control ideas advocated by President Obama, according to the poll, is a ban on the sale of ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds. And that idea was still favored by more than half of all respondents.
So what's the catch? The poll didn't mention Obama by name. Last week, when Gallup polled Americans on the president's gun-control plans and name-dropped the president, just 53 percent said they'd tell their representatives in Congress to support them.
Here are the full results:
We'll leave it to others to ponder the reasons for the discrepancy, but in practical terms this represents a challenge facing the president as he makes the push for new gun policies: Sell the public on his ideas while staying out of the way.

Earlier this week, the Sierra Club announced that it is lifting its long-standing institutional prohibition on civil disobedience so that it can protest the development of the tar sands. The club's board of directors approved the change, which executive director Michael Brune made public on Tuesday. While staff and board members have previously participated in acts of civil disobedience in a personal capacity, this is the first time that the organization will take part.
The group has been mum on exactly what sort of civil disobedience it is planning. It is cosponsoring an anti-Keystone XL rally on the National Mall on February 17 with 350.org and the Hip-Hop Caucus, but says that the civil disobedience will be a separate event.
I caught up with Brune on Thursday to talk about what this means for the 120-year-old environmental organization.
Mother Jones: So is this only allowing civil disobedience related to the tar sands, or does it open it up the possibility to use it for other issues as well?
Michael Brune: Right now the board has authorized us to do this singular action on tar sands and climate. It will have a broad frame of wanting the president to be as muscular in his approach to fighting climate change as he can, with a particular focus on the tar sands pipeline.
MJ: What was it about this issue in particular that forced the change?
MB: Look at what's happened in just the last year. Record-breaking wildfires, unusual heat waves in Chicago last February, a full degree warmer in the lower 48 than we've ever seen, droughts, Hurricane Sandy, the derecho, bizarre storms happening all across the country. It's clear that our climate is already destabilizing, and it's also clear that there's a lot that the president can do to solve the problem. So we need to provide as much urgency and focus to ensure that the president's commitment is an enduring one and that his ambition meets the scale of the challenge.
MJ: Has the Club ever officially done civil disobedience?
MB: The Club has never officially done civil disobedience in our 120-year-history. There was a standing rule, an explicit prohibition on civil disobedience that the board has lifted. I don't know exactly when it was put in place, but it's been in place for decades. When it's used rarely, in extraordinary conditions, American history shows that it has done a great deal in helping to address injustices. We think that given the time we're in right now, with the threats we face from climate change, and the opportunities we face from a clean energy transition, that we need the strongest possible leadership from the president. And civil disobedience can help to provide that.

At Climate Desk, we like to call them—affectionately—our "pet trolls." (You know who you are. Hi!) They are regular readers that pepper us on Twitter and Facebook with one of several climate myths upon the publication of every article, sometimes with freakish speed. One of the most popular myths is this: Global warming isn't real because it's really cold outside; climate models are thus full of sh*t. So, here in 90 seconds, is our attempt to explain something we interact with every day, in all sorts of ways, from flying in a plane, to getting a loan, to betting on a horse: computer modeling.
Our video features Drew Purves, from Microsoft in Cambridge, UK, a statistics whiz specializing in modeling the climate and ecosystems. Think of him as the Nate Silver of carbon. You can read about his latest research project, a rallying cry to model the entire world's ecology—that's right, the entire world—in the latest edition of Nature.
Republicans, apparently convinced that they really are facing demographic doom, have been taking increasingly desperate measures to ensure their continued existence. Does this include an effort to moderate their views in order to win more votes? Don't be silly. Instead, they're trying to game the mechanics of the voting system itself. The last two years, of course, have seen a raft of new voter ID laws designed to reduce participation by groups most likely to vote for Democrats: students, the poor, and minorities. But that's not enough. The Electoral College is looking tougher and tougher for Republicans—especially for hardcore conservative Republicans, who are suffering declining support outside the South—so that's their next target.
The plan is simple: There are half a dozen states that are controlled by Republicans but that often vote for Democratic presidents. Since most states (Nebraska and Maine are the only exceptions) use winner-take-all rules, this means that when Democrats win these states they get 100 percent of their electoral votes. So what would happen if these states instead divvied up their EVs by congressional district? Emory's Alan Abramowitz does the arithmetic:
If the congressional district system had been used in these six states in 2012, instead of Obama winning all of their 106 electoral votes, it appears that Romney would have won 61 electoral votes to only 45 for Obama. As a result, Obama's margin in the national electoral vote would have been reduced from 332-206 to only 271-267.
That certainly makes things closer. A result like that would mean that Republicans were still very much in the ballgame, just a single small state away from victory.
However, Republicans might be outsmarting themselves. If this system of divvying up electoral votes were adopted nationwide, you could make a case for it. But the unfairness of adopting this system only in states that Democrats usually win is palpable. States in the deep South, for example, have no intention of adopting a similar system, and will continue awarding 100 percent of their electoral votes to Republican candidates. Republicans are picking and choosing different systems in different states, with not even a pretense that they're doing it for any reason aside from choosing whichever system benefits Republicans the most in each state. This is so obviously outrageous that it's likely to prompt a backlash.
Democrats don't have the votes to fight back with anything similar, but they do have another weapon in their back pocket: the National Popular Vote interstate compact, an agreement among states to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the popular vote nationwide. If states with more than half of all electoral votes sign up for this, it goes into effect.
So far, only nine states with a total of 132 electoral votes have signed up. But if Republicans continue their patently shameful effort to game the Electoral College system, it might spur more states to sign up. That's what a sense of outrage can do. Republicans might want to think about that as they move forward. If they keep going, the end result might be a system even less favorable to them than the current Electoral College.
