However, I don't have an easy solution: I programmed my own microcontroller to do the job with a 2 channel radio, which makes operation very easy... but one needs to know one's electrons and coding for this. I discuss it a bit at: http://matthewsmodelmarine.wordpress...e-expendables/ (see the "Motivating" section):
For low speed work, like a maneuvering competition, I'll goose it forward a bit, go to zero throttle and steer a bit, which kicks in the wing motors' counter-rotation... that spins the boat around, almost as fun as driving a forklift! p.s.: There are some commercial mixer devices out there, such as the one from Action... tried it, was completely unsatisfied with how it worked for me. I also suspect that mixing on modern radios may let you achieve some of these goals, but I don't see how you can get exactly what I have with my on-board micro. |

There are a bunch of configurations over in the Electrical Discussion thread. Perhaps one of these may be just the ticket.

I would recommond looking at the Sabertooth ESC. I run the smaller one in my towboat. In mixed mode the throttle stick on the transmitter with throttle both motors at the same rate then when you move the "rudder stick" it will reduce and one motor speed all the to full the other direction. Then use the alerion stick for rudder control. I have had this ESC for over two years now and has worked like it should with no issues.

Take a look at the P94 dual ESC from Action Electornics. It is a single unit that can give fully independent control for two motors, or it can be configured to coordinate them. There is also a diagram available for using a third motor, as in a PT.
http://www.action-electronics.co.uk/pdfs/P94.pdf I just ordered one for my twin screw 1/16 scale Landing Craft, hope to have it in a few days. (I have one of their smaller units- it is great.) Dave at Action is terrific-- he answers emails personally, and will help you pick the right product for your particular battery/motor combo and needs. They aren't the cheapest- but they are designed by a scale boater for use in scale boats. And if you're in the USA, you don't have to pay VAT- so that's a 20% discount off the published price. (Of course the pound is about $1.60 now, so that drives the price back up...) |

I've got twin esc's in my 40inch PT
and they do work very well for manouvering independantly I'm running 4 battery packs to a bus bar (esentially making 1 big battery)... the whole bar feeds both ESC's (so power draws from all packs at once no matter which esc is running or how hard) ... then each ESC ofcourse has it's own motor. on my 2.4 futaba 6EX I have 1 ESC on my left stick up/down (main throttle) ... and master that channel and slave my left stick left/right channel for the other ESC for now next I'll be playing with Vtail and/or elevon mixing with dual rate for high speed running and harbour manouvering ... that'll be ... master on left up/down (throttle) nothing connected to that channel, and slaved to right up/down ESC#1 (elevators on a plane) .. rudder on right left/right (ailerons on plane) ... then ESC#2 on left right/left (rudder on plane) with aileron as master and rudder slaved turn on elevon/Vtail mixing %'s on each side of the dual rate. if you didn't understand that, it's alright I know my explination kinda sucked... basicallly.. throttle forward both go forward ... add left rudder and it'll cut throttle to the left motor to let the inside of the turn dig in more and forced more by the outside motor... same for a right turn... the degree of inside motor cut out is set by the % in the elevon/Vtail rate you set ... if you set over 50% and go hard enough over it'll actually send the inside motor into reverse too. basically.. when I hit the throttle the master/slave will operate the 'elevator' channel of the |

Major U.S. wireless carriers, facing increasing questions about how quickly they can route funds pledged by text message to the American Red Cross for Haiti relief efforts, said Monday they all plan to speed up deliveries.
The carriers are taking the rare step of advancing the funds, which now total about $22 million. In normal circumstances, a pledge takes as long as 90 days to get to a charity because the carriers don't route the money until a customer pays the phone bill to cover a pledge. The move by the carriers to front the pledges means that money pledged in recent days could be sent to the Red Cross within a week.
Verizon Wireless on Friday was the first to announce it had advanced the pledges from its customers. Sprint Nextel Corp., Deutsche Telekom AG 's T-Mobile USA and AT&T Inc. say they also are expediting the payment process that begins when a customer text-messages a $10 pledge to the American Red Cross by punching a code on his or her cellphone.
The text-message program to pledge money to the Red Cross is one of the largest. Others are proliferating, including one that allows people to pledge to the foundation run by former President Bill Clinton.
The text-message programs, sparked by a State Department new-media expert, is proving to be a test for mass philanthropy. No models exist, for example, that can tell the carriers how many customers may refute their pledge.
Carriers are proceeding carefully. Sprint plans to advance 80% of the pledges that are being donated for the Red Cross and several other text-message programs.
A Sprint spokeswoman said the remaining 20% would serve as a buffer to cover pledges that don't come through. That 20% would be dispatched through the usual channel when customers pay their bills.
A Verizon spokesman said the carrier planned to advance 100% of the pledged funds. "This situation is too important," Jeffrey Nelson said.
T-Mobile also said it will advance 100% of the pledges.
An AT&T spokeswoman confirmed Monday the company planned to expedite the pledge process but it didn't immediately provide details.
Two foundations—Mobile Giving Foundation and mGive Foundation—typically serve as the back-office operators of the text message programs, which includes vetting charities. James Eberhard, chairman of Denver-based Mobile Accord Inc. and nonprofit arm mGive, said mGive will still handle duties such as providing tax-deduction receipts.
Mr. Eberhard said that the text-message program kicked off last week when Katie Stanton, a State Department staffer, discussed with Mr. Eberhard the use of the mobile donations for Haiti.
On Monday, Mr. Eberhard said that his foundation and the carriers had decided it made sense to expedite the payments.

How to block a user account in Drupal 7
There may come a time when you need to block an account from having access to your site. In an ideal world, we would neer have to discipline site members, but it does happen. Also, you may want to disable accounts for anyone on vacation to further secure the account and site. Whatever your reason, blocking a user account in Drupal 7 is very easy to do. To learn how, simply follow these steps:
- Log into your Drupal 7 admin dashboard.
- From the top menu bar, locate the People option and click it.
- From the People screen, find the user you want to block and click the Edit link for that user.
- This new page is where you find all the individual settings for your chosen user. Find the Status area and click the radio button named Blocked. This sets the user to an inactive status, and therefore unable to log in once the settings are saved.
- Once selected, scroll to the bottom of the page and select the Save button. This takes you back to the user list where you will see that your chosen user now has a Status of Blocked. To reactivate the user, simply follow the same steps, selecting Active as the status on the user's settings page.

Web counter
This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2008) |
A web counter or hit counter is a computer software program that indicates the number of visitors, or hits, a particular webpage has received. Once set up, these counters will be incremented by one every time the web page is accessed in a web browser.
The number is usually displayed, with image or text, as an old inline digital image, a plain text or an old mechanical counter. Image renderization of digits may use a variety of fonts and styles; the classic example is the wheels of an odometer. The counter is often accompanied by the date it was set up or last reset, otherwise it becomes impossible to estimate within what time the number of page loads counted occurred. Some web counters were simply web bugs used by webmasters to track hits and included no visible on-page elements.
Counters were popular in the 1990's, later replaced by other web traffic measures, at first by self hosted scripts such as Analog, later on more typically remote systems that used JavaScript, like Google Analytics. These systems typically do not include on-page elements displaying the count, though. Thus, seeing a web counter on a modern web page is one example of retrocomputing on the Internet.
Counter schemes[edit]
In one SEO spamming technique, companies pay to have their site listed in the html code of a free hit counter. Thus when a user puts it on their page, a small link will appear at the bottom and can be a quick way for sites to accumulate inbound links. This is often performed by sites in very competitive web fields like online gambling and even asbestos litigation.
In 2008, Google removed a number of high ranking mesothelioma sites that had been using counters from the top results.[1]
Some websites have been known to offer prizes to the visitor who makes the web counter roll over to a specific number. Such an event is known in Japanese as a kiriban.

The collections at London Transport Museum comprise more than 450,000 objects which cover all aspects of public transport in London from 1800 to the present day. Our objects reveal the social history of transport, the urban history of London and the technical advances that have moved millions of Londoners over two hundred years.
Racing to support Route into Work
This year, London Transport Museum secured its first ever gold bond in the largest charity running event in the world - the 2015 London Marathon!
Mark Collier delivers training for existing operators and operational managers on the Northern and Central lines and will be running 26 miles for the Museum. Mark will raising £1,500 for the Museum's Route into Work programme which helps young people not in education, employment or training. His raising £1,500 will mean 7 young people will get to participate in the Route into Work programme and they will gain the skills and confidence they need to begin a meaningful career. You can support Mark as he trains through the chilly wet winter weather by donating to his fundraising page.
Marks says;
I have chosen to raise funds for the Museum because I wanted to raise the awareness of all the great work that goes on there, in restoring and displaying such a vast array of London's transport history for people both local and around the world.
All of my children have visited the museum on more than one occasion over their lives and they have thoroughly enjoyed their experiences seeing the wonderful vehicles and items on display as well as all the interactive items. It's also wonderful to be able to show them what I do at my job now as well as what it was like when I drove Route Master buses around London.
My older son chose the London Underground for his work experience in preparation for his apprenticeship and he spent most of his time exploring the museum to gather knowledge about the history of London's transport as well modern and future transport innovations. So much work goes on at the Museum that I didn't know about. One key project I would like people to be aware of is the Route into Work which helps young people not in education, employment or training.
All aboard for the new family galleries
Opening on Saturday 28 March 2015
Come and explore All Aboard, the Museum's exciting new play zone where children can play on a mini fleet of vehicles and dress up in uniforms to become drivers, mechanics, cleaners, station announcers and even river captains.
Opening on Saturday 28 March, children will be able to get in the driver's seat of a real bus, repair a mini Tube train and play in the 'Lost Property' office. They can also enjoy 'sailing' the Thames Nipper, serve passengers in the Nipper café, fly the Emirates Air Line cable car, make driver announcements and help customers at the mini information desk using the magnetic message board, maps and clocks. There is also the opportunity to look out for the 'naughty seats' on some of the vehicles which make funny sounds when sat upon, and the singing stars of the future can play musical instruments at the busking spot.
All Aboard has been designed for children aged 0 to 7 years and for the first time the Museum will have an area specifically for infants at the 'Baby DLR' which is equipped with a tactile wall and building blocks.
There is also a lot to enjoy elsewhere in the Museum:

Hi David, I'll take a photo at the weekend. I found it pretty easy to make - if you're reasonably good at DIY it would be a breeze.
I'd be more worried about what chemicals are being blown into your garden when the farmer sprays his field! There are probably poppy seeds already in the soil of the fields as they stay viable for at least 60 years and possibly centuries. The farmer may well spray herbicide to kill everything a few weeks before planting his crops anyway. I honestly wouldn't worry about a few stray seeds from your garden - there will be far more pernicious wild weeds invading it anyway.
Those are lovely Fairygirl - just looked them up. The red/yellow ones are a bit too garish (and large) for my taste. Hmm, I feel another order coming on!
Verd, from what I've read HF spreads to new areas almost entirely by rhizomes rather than by spores (which would need to settle on dead wood) so as long as you only collected leaves and not twigs I suspect the risk would be very, very low. But not zero. Maybe erring on the side of caution is what a certain wise Cornishman is already doing?
It's awful to see all of those horrible effects of the storms down your way - my thoughts are with you and everyone else down there (I have friends in zumerrzet, too.)
That's really the best way, nut - live with nature rather than trying to outwit it!
HF is entirely natural and probably breaks down more woody matter so that it can be recycled into the soil than anything else. If it didn't exist we might not have any fertile soil! It's annoying when it gets to a favourite plant/shrub, but it is an opportunity (and excuse to do some plant shopping!) to try something else less prone.
I have some young Cercis myself so am also interested in any advice. I read that they shouldn't be fed with artificial fertilizers and that they don't really need pruning, so I'll treat them with 'controlled neglect' and see how it goes.
Obelixx is right, the sort of inks which used to contain toxins were banned decades ago - they were causing cancers in print workers. I try and limit the amount of really glossy paper though as that is often coated with a type of clay (Kaolin, "China clay") and doesn't break down easily. Besides, I have enough clay in my garden thanks!
I think they do get up a bit further when the wood is dead and rotting, nut. I've tried to remove all of the dead stumps etc from my garden as the HF needs a lump of rotting wood in the ground as a 'home base' it seems. Quite a job as my long raised border in the back garden was fronted with a 6" thick, 2' high wall of wood from the remains of a 70ft Ash which came down a few years ago and with which I got creative with a chainsaw. When I was pulling the sections out, lots of them were 'veined' with HF bootlaces.
Now I've replaced all of that with treated decking boards, I'm hoping the HF will become less of a problem. Really hoping!
When I first cut the Ash up, I left about the bottom 10' of the trunk for a year and was rewarded by a massive growth of Silky Volvar (caps of 10"!) which were delicious, but not much of reward if my infestation of HF was the payment!
For anyone who is handy, an angle grinder fitted with a metal cutting disc means you can tailor a larger one to your exact needs. Just throwing that in as an alternative.
I agree, if the fungus is actually growing on the pussy willow branches though, it isn't Honey Fungus but something else. Honey Fungus mushrooms appear from the ground and can be right next to the affected tree/shrub or quite some distance away. Given that you have other things dying, it's possible that there are several fungi involved and HF may be just one of them (but the most serious.) If you can post photo's of the various growths it would really help but positive identification is extremely tricky in the best of cases!

"Behave!" Fleicia Smith yelled while laughing as she walked back to work. Her orders were aimed at the two grinning men on the park bench in front of the courthouse in New Castle.
"We behave, we have to. When you're this old, you're not allowed to have fun anymore," Pete Raymer said.
As a former teacher in Henry County, I was disappointed to learn that Steve Swank will no longer be the principal of Henry County Middle School. During my five years at the middle school I was able to witness many positives occurring under Mr. Swank's leadership. Kentucky Core Content Test scores improved; portfolio writing scores increased to an all-time high of 64 percent proficiency; student technology use was visible throughout the school; and a no-bullying policy was instituted to improve the learning environment of all students.
We arrived in Shanghai Thursday night at 9 (9 a.m. Henry Co. time). The airport was not very crowded and we were able to get through customs fairly quickly. Finding my sister, Verna, was not hard. With her blonde hair and 5'10" frame she towered over most of the people waiting to greet arrivers.
Wednesday, June 18
Karate classes will be held at the Community Center from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Children's Story and Craft hour every Wednesday from 10 to 11 a.m. at Pleasureville Christian Church. Community Library open to the public from 1 to 4:30 p.m. every Wednesday.
Free Family Movie Matinee at 2 p.m. at the Henry County Library. Call 845-5682 for more information.

Henry County Relay For Life scheduled for June 27 and 28
Each year, across the nation, one event brings together entire communities to take part in the fight against cancer. That event is the American Cancer Society Relay For Life. It's a time and place where people come to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we've lost and fight back against a disease that touches too many lives.
Since I was the subject of the Wednesday, June 11, article "Ethics committee meets for first time," I believe it is appropriate that I respond.
The article stated, "Gingrich, who was not present at the meeting" and "he (Gingrich) is not here to defend himself" (YIKES, a resident must defend himself if he writes a letter to the board?) implies that I had a choice to attend or not attend.

Under near-perfect weather, Eminence's Stillwater Lake hosted Kentucky's first water ski competition of the season Saturday with a smaller turnout than normal.
Just 18 skiers competed in the slalom-only event, which was down more than 20 percent from previous years. But there were still plenty of solid performances for the first competition of the season.
While Henry County's baseball team was close to becoming the first in school history to make the KHSAA State Baseball Tournament, former coach Mike Thibodeaux was enjoying his own success more than 800 miles away.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Internet... usually. There's nothing like a quick find on Google, a funny video on YouTube or a glance from last night's scores on ESPN.
Between writing stories Monday afternoon, I spent my time on the Internet keeping up with the Tiger Woods-Rocco Mediate showdown on the golf course, which started out in a playoff and, as I'm writing these words, is finishing up in a thrilling, sudden death. The Internet is a very convenient tool that makes most of our lives very, very easy, and enjoyable at times.
After two seasons on the sideline for the young and inexperienced Eminence softball team, Dewayne Douglas has decided to step down from his position as the head coach. Douglas, who coached the team for six years during the 1990s before making his return in 2007, officially resigned shortly after the final game in mid-May.
During his two seasons, Eminence had 2-14 and 1-14 records, and lost in the opening round of the 30th District tournament both years. Douglas had just too much on his plate, he said of his decision to back away.

Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy
"A few weeks ago I started feeling pain and pressure in my pelvic region, and now the pain is traveling down the inside of my leg, making it hard to work (I have a desk job with the Marine Corps). My doctor says I have SPD — what can you tell me about that?"Symphysis pubic dysfunction, or SPD, is a relatively common (but uncommonly painful) pregnancy condition. It's caused by a relaxation of the ligaments that normally keep the two sides of the pelvic bone tightly bound together at the symphysis pubis, the joint in the pubic area. (The culprit here is the hormone relaxin, which softens those joints to give baby an easier path out into the world.) Sometimes, the ligaments loosen too much and quite early in pregnancy (symptoms may start around the middle of pregnancy) causing instability in the pelvic joint. One side might shift more than the other when you are walking or just moving your legs — especially if you separate them, as you would to get out of your car — causing a world of hurt. (In rarer cases, the joint may gape apart noticeably — a condition called diastasis symphysis pubis). Bearing any weight, in fact — or even trying to roll over in bed — will cause tremendous pain in the pelvis (the pubic bone will be sore to the touch), groin, hips, and sometimes the buttocks. The pain can travel down the inner thighs, and you may feel a clicking or grinding when you move. And standing on one leg? Torture.
Pelvic support belts, which corset the bones back into place, can offer relief. Pelvic exercises like Kegels and pelvic tilts can also strengthen the muscles of the pelvis to stabilize those floppy bones. Sitting down to get dressed, taking steps one at a time, and avoiding heavy lifting and pushing may help. If the pain is severe enough, ask your practitioner about pain relievers (though don't take any medications unless specifically prescribed by your practitioner). Rest assured, once your baby is born, relaxin production will cease and the joint will firm up again, easing your discomfort.
Here's to your pain going AWOL,

Re: Need help. Questions about Chargers/Steelers game on Dec 9..
I've been to 1 other Steelers game and I'm going to the Chargers game as well. Bringing my wife this time...so I'm in the same boat as you, but I don't care. I'm dragging her to the game early no matter if its cold or raining/snowing.
Bit of advice. I booked my hotel on expedia.com and did the "hidden" hotel. I got the Wyndham Grand which is like 1/2 mile from Heinz field(walkable) for $80/night. Regular price was $230/night. Just throwing that out there for anyone looking for a hotel.
Back to parking. I've heard there is cheaper parking across the bridge. My 1st game I parked near Heinz field for like $30 I think. The walk wasn't too bad.
Make sure you get there early, so you can walk around Heinz field and look at the Lombardi's and the hall of fame.
I'd suggest taking a walk at the farmers market type thing which is like South Street in Philly, but loaded with amazing food and Steelers stuff all over.
You want to go up to Mt. Washington and take some pictures and look at Heinz field/PNC Park and all the amazing views. You can take the trolly up or you can easily find parking.
My Wife who's been to Pittsburgh before, but never to an NFL game said this, "I've never seen so many people in NFL gear". This was in June or July. We live near Philly, so the fans hear are crazy, but its totally different in Pittsburgh.

How is this even possible?? I've heard of doctors accidentially squeezing a baby's head with calipers too hard, and that resulting in death; But this?
Raise your glass if you're wrong…. in all the right ways.
That story made me want to throw up. I thought I'd heard everything. That woman had clear indications (from the story) for a C-section hours before the tragic death. I wonder if she refused one…. there has to be more to that unfortunate story.

Why ads?By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.7
While its Acura TL big brother competes with heavy hitters like the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G Sedan, the second-generation Acura TSX is light on direct competitors. Why? Because for those seeking a premium-branded sedan with a $30,000 starting price and fuel economy that reaches into the 30 miles-per-gallon range, the choices are rather limited. The Audi A4 is one, as are the Volvo S40 and Lexus IS. However, the TSX's big advantage versus most of its competitors can be summed up in a word that a premium-brand marketer like Acura would never use: Value. The base model with a manual transmission (another increasingly rare feature in this class) starts just over $30,000 and even fully loaded barely reaches $34,000; a loaded V6 stays just south of $40,000. Piece together its quality, performance, features and fuel economy, and the TSX looks to be one of the best premium sedan bargains going.
In terms of technology, fuel economy, performance and value, the Acura TSX is a premium-level bargain. Not only does it offer an enviable resale and reliability record, it's one of the few sport sedans left that still offer the option of a manual transmission.
Unlike the Audi and Volvo sedans, the TSX does not offer the option of all-wheel drive. More troubling to some of us is the electric power steering system that demands constant attention on the highway.
For 2011, Acura makes a number of changes aimed at quieting the TSX's cabin and improving fuel economy. Along with an all-new Sport Wagon addition (reviewed separately), the TSX receives revised front and rear styling, as well as a number of interior upgrades. An improved Technology Package includes a new LED backlit navigation screen, Song by Voice user interface and 15 GB of downloadable storage space on the system's 60 GB hard drive.
Driving Impressions When it comes to all-around driving fun, we could hardly ask for a better balance of enthusiasm and comfort. We like the six-speed manual's precise shifting action and the five-speed...
automatic's exceptionally aggressive Sport mode, the later being especially welcome on the automatic-only V6 model. The 2011 Acura TSX encourages a quicker pace when the road begins to meander, and adequately absorbs surface irregularities and external roars when cruising. If there's a fly in the TSX ointment, it can be found with Acura's efficiency-enhancing electromechanical power steering (EPS) system. Devoid of feel that sometimes borders on numbness (depending on which KBB editor you ask), the TSX is no match for competitors such as the Audi A4 or BMW 1 Series when it comes to accurate steering feedback. While most vehicles require subtle steering input when traveling straight down the highway; the TSX seems to require constant, unnatural-feeling corrections. We're hoping the system will be improved over the life of the TSX, because we really like the rest of the package.DVD-Audio Surround Sound
Audiophiles will have to have this comprehensive premium sound system. Included in the Technology Package, the 5.2 DVD-Audio Surround Sound is so utterly clear and clean, it puts all other stock systems to shame.
Voice-controlled Navigation System
The 2011 Acura TSX offers a sophisticated navigation system with an LED backlit eight-inch screen that Acura claims delivers 400 percent better resolution than last year's system. Also on board is Acura's Song by Voice music search, and voice activation for the navigation that allows for voice input of city and street names, Zagat restaurant information, weather conditions and real-time traffic information and rerouting. A rear-view camera is also part of the package.
If soft, warm and rich is the vibe you seek from a premium sedan, settling into the TSX may leave you lukewarm. Although the new interior does bring a bit more color to the console, door panels and steering wheel, even the contrasting color stitching isn't enough to make the high-tech TSX feel like an a upscale Audi. That's because the TSX eschews traditional luxury cues for a more technological type of richness, although wood-look trim is available. Beyond the visual, the TSX's interior is all business, offering seats that are both comfortable and supportive, and a rear seat that sufficiently passes the six-footer test. New rear heating/cooling vents help keep rear passengers comfortable while a climate controlled center console keeps perishables from perishing. The smallish trunk is less impressive, but long items can be safely stowed once the 60/40-split rear seatback is deployed.
ExteriorDefined by sharp edges, pronounced wheel flares and a forward lean that gives it a bolder, more athletic demeanor than the original TSX, the 2011 Acura TSX is made more alluring with a new front grille and headlamp treatment, new fog light bezels and a new front lip spoiler. Around back, new tail lamps and license plate garnish heighten the TSX's visual appeal. Mirror-integrated turn signals, 17- or 18-inch wheels and a long shoulder crease all combine to make the TSX look longer and wider than it really is.
The 2011 Acura TSX boasts a long list of standard equipment that includes Bluetooth phone connectivity, iPod integration (and simpler auxiliary input), steering wheel-mounted controls, leather seating with position memory, moonroof and dual-zone climate control. The V6 adds 18-inch alloy wheels, one-touch ignition key start and Acura's new Active Sound Control system, which works by eliminating exterior sound entering the cabin. All the safety gear is included, such as front, front side-impact and two-row side-curtain airbags, plus electronic stability control.
Every bit of optional equipment available on the 2011 Acura TSX is wrapped up into one mouth-watering Technology Package, the highlights of which include a world-class DVD-Audio Surround Sound system and a comprehensive advanced HDD navigation system, both of which are detailed in the "Favorite Features" section of this review.
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is coupled with either a slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic that features a high-revving Sport mode. Like in so many Honda and Acura vehicles, the i-VTEC engine is at its best when pushed hardest. Those seeking better low-end performance should look at the new 3.5-liter V6. With 280 horsepower on tap it's sure to be a scintillating ride, although without a manual transmission, probably not as much fun as the base car.

"I've owned my TSX since 2009, purchased certified preowned. I have to say that overall Acura did a great job on this vehicle. Honda, Acura's parent company, tends to lag the market with advanced features, so the TSX lacked a few electronics. What it doesn't lack, though, is amazing handling and ride. Even with a 4 cylinder, this car can move! I have had no trouble keeping up and even beating V6 cars with more HP. The transmission and shift points are perfect. The transmission has no problem keeping up. Flawlessly. Where Acura blew it was with the brakes. They were awful! They squeaked constantly and wore out quickly. The rear brakes went out at 15,000 miles! In the meantime, I put ceramic brakes on it and that took care of the wear and squeaking problem. But the rotors were junk, so I put on slotted and vented discs and that took care of it. Other than the brakes, this is a terrific car. I'm sad in a way to sell it - just not enough room in the back. But it's a solid car and I've cared for it meticulously."

Mast Supports for Erie Canal travel

Re: Mast Supports for Erie Canal travel
If you are setting the mast high above the deck, just remember that the farther it is up, the more force it will exert when the boat rolls. If it were to start going, it would be difficult to prevent it from going in the drink and could do lots of damage on its way over. I set mine right down on the cabin deck with some 4X4s under it, supported fore and aft by the rails. It is lashed down tight in 4 different places. I take the dodger down and figure that for 2 days I can do without it. If going a long distance, the trucking idea sounds very nice if it can be done for a reasonable amount. Not having to leap over it negotiating locks nor worrying about hitting lock walls with it would be a BIG positive. It is surprisingly easy to hit lock walls with a mast sticking out 5' forward and aft and can do a lot of damage.

I bought some Moosbacher Weisbier tonight- more for reusing the swing top bottles than for the beer. But I find we like the beer, and am thinking I'd like to culture the yeast. The package stated it was bottle fermented- so does that mean it is game on to culture the yeast from a bottle or two and brew a batch? How do I know? I've 'read' that some beers are bottle conditioned with a different yeast then they are fermented with, hence my concern. I'm going back to searching online, but figured I'd throw the question out to many more experienced brewers than I.
I know someone that works at NB, if I can call up there and ask any q's for ya, let me know. I'll also be up that way in June, and hope to take another walk through of the brewery...can ask then too. As for the weissbier- we brought home two kinds- a wheat and a dark wheat. Both have a yeast sediment in the bottle. The dark wheat is murky- the wheat is fairly clear (website calls it "fine filtered"); both had yeast sediment in the bottle.

I have been working at Applied Systems full-time (more than a year)
On a person by person basis, The people are great to work with. Most everyone in my department is laid back and relaxed. Easy drive from my town. Extreme amounts of information, if you enjoy learning.
Lack of communication between departments - Work orders are often vague and ambiguous, which often cause problems within our entry level department.
Low Pay / High Responsibility - Our entry level department has full administrative rights for both data centers. Anyone else see a problem?
Lack of trust - A camera has been installed at our desk (group desk of 4) to watch client media. This camera does not point at the media, it points directly at our desks, media completely outside of camera's sight. But I guess we are an entry level department..
Pay your employees better. Put good in, get good out. - Put in less, get below average results. Its not science.
If you want to keep the pay the same, decrease our responsibilities and simplify the work. I was happy with the position 1 year ago. Since this period of growth the position is almost unbearable for the level of compensation.

ProsMarket leadership, good place to learn software sales for entry level sales people
ConsVery weak management team. Lack of integrity within the organization. Dishonest sales practices. Software development lacks vision and talent. Over promise and under deliver to prospects/clients.
Advice to ManagementAdviceLearn to listen to employees and be nimble to execute on promises. Treat subordinates with respect. TAKE A SALES MANAGEMENT COURSE--USE "BEST PRACTICES" BENCHMARKING as it relates to quality management and team leadership/building.

ProsThis place had some of the nicest people that I've ever worked with. Everyone from management down talked at the same level. The atmosphere is relaxing even in stressful situations. There are many different ways to move vertically or laterally within the company.
ConsThe pay. As an entry level employee it just didn't cut it. Started at a minimal salary and providing small yearly raises is not the way to get ahead. This may be different if you were coming into this place with experience but as entry level, it's just a stepping stone onto something else.
Advice to ManagementAdviceIf they want to keep their younger employees, the pay needs to be competitive or else it promotes job hopping.
