Im loving this sub! Right now I have it in a ported box wired down to 2ohms on my old fosgate amp and at 300watts. It's bumpin' in the back of my lincoln. Definitely going to get a bigger amp and another one of these! I always recomnd Rockford Fosgate to people who aren't sure what to get because they sound good and bump hard. By-the-way, this sub is pretty big so you might have to do some work to get it to fit in boxes you get from Sonic.

Human resources (HR) representatives complete a number of tasks within the human resources department, such as supporting the organization's personnel-related goals and conducting benefits reporting. They also provide support for your employees by creating a good relationship among all groups of the workplace and create programs and workplace activities related to employee wellness and benefits.

While not commonly seen, Human Resources Representatives who transition into a Human Resources Director position may see a rise in pay. The median salary for Human Resources Directors is $78K per year. The most common next step for a Human Resources Representative is to become a Human Resources Generalist or a Human Resources Manager. The former position pays an additional $5K per year on average, and the latter position pays $16K more per year.
Human Resources Representatives seem to exploit a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, facility with Leave of Absence Administration, Full-Cycle Recruiting, and Human Resources Information System (HRIS) are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 32 percent, 16 percent, and 6 percent, respectively.

The Civil Aviation Authority has secured €95,700 compensation for UK passengers hit by airline delays in the six months since a European Court ruled that carriers must cough up.
In October 2012, the Court of Justice ruled against TUI Travel and a group of airlines who had tried to argue that they didn't have to compensate passengers for delays of three hours or more.
The Court sided with the CAA which said airlines must pay passengers who suffered long delays the same compensation they would have been entitled to if their flight had been cancelled, in line with EC regulations.
As the UK's enforcement body, the CAA provides a free mediation service to any passenger having trouble resolving complaints against airlines or airports.
Before contacting the CAA, passengers should contact the airline first, to give them an opportunity to consider their claim.
Passengers can find out how to contact the CAA's Passenger Advice and Complaints Team here: http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=2211&pageid=12725
The CAA said it was still dealing with a backlog of claims as a result of the judgement, and may take more time to assess the situation and respond to passengers than usual.
Since the judgement, the CAA has received over 5,800 claims from passengers who have approached their airlines and are not satisfied with the response they received.
"To date we have argued that compensation should be paid in around half of the claims we have considered," said the CAA.
Iain Osborne, CAA director of regulatory policy said: "Long delays, and cancellations, only affect a minority of passengers, but when they occur, they can have a massive impact on people's holidays and business trips.
"Since the position around compensation was clarified by the European Court, our free mediation team have seen a deluge of claims from passengers - leading to us securing them nearly €100,000 in compensation already.
"However, we would far rather that passengers never needed to involve us and airlines settled claims much more quickly, directly with their passengers. To help them, we will soon be providing airlines with more detailed guidelines about what kind of circumstances we judge are within their control."
The European Union is separately reviewing provision of assistance and compensation to passengers under the EC Regulation 261/2004 rules.

Flappy Bird is back again in Amazon's app store with a new entry dubbed Flappy Birds Family, which is a multiplayer gaming title currently compatible only with Amazon's Fire TV.
The new entry in the wildly popular Flappy Bird series comes with several new features including Person vs Person mode; more obstacles; more fun and still very hard.
Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen axed the app from the Apple's App Store and Google Play in February, and stopped all future downloads, claiming that the game had ruined his life.
Soaring to the top of iPhone and Android app downloads, the game was downloaded about 50 million times, and received over half million reviews in the Apple's iOS App Store.
Originally intended for the iPhone, the app was not available for free until mid-January 2014, following a surge in popularity that commenced in early December 2013.
Prior to being pulled off, the app was integrated with Apple's Game Center and Google's Play Games and allows players to share scores with other players, as well enable sharing scores on social networks.

The Manila Times, 05 September 2014
By Rosalie C. Periabras
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is looking to fast-track the awarding of one of its biggest public-private partnership (PPP) projects, the P64.9-billion Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 Cavite Extension, also known
as the South Luzon Extension Project.
"We are studying it thoroughly, because if you will check the TRO, the restraint is on the common station, not on the award. So this is the biggest PPP project of our agency. [There is the] possibility of awarding despite the TRO," Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya told reporters.
Abaya was referring to the temporary restraining order issued by the Supreme Court barring the government from transferring the location of the proposed common station from its original location in front of SM City North EDSA to Trinoma Mall, which is owned by MPIC partner the Ayala Group.
The TRO reinforces SM Prime Holding Inc.'s position in the case it filed for Specific Performance of SM Prime and LRTA's Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) dated September 29, 2009. The case is now pending before the Regional Trial Court of Pasay City.
Abaya added, "As soon as possible, as long as we check off our few concerns with the stakeholders: How it affects MRT 7, MAGA (Material Adverse Government Action) – the provision that whenever government is in default, it gets penalized — Office of the Solicitor General (OSG). Pretty much that is it."
Asked if the DOTC could not award the project until it gets the legal opinion of the OSG, he replied: "It provides us legal cover. We are expediting, we are engaging them and we expressed to them that it is to the interest of the country that we are doing this."
SM Prime earlier filed a lawsuit against government for changing the location of the common station to benefit a rival mall. It said it had an existing agreement with the government to build the common station for the three rail lines in front of SM North Edsa.
The government denied that it violated a 2009 agreement between SM Prime and the Department of Transportation and Communications, which oversees LRTA. It claimed that SM Prime's naming rights over the project expired in 2011, even as it argued further that the new location would benefit more commuters.
The P1.4-billion Common Station is part of LRT's North Extension Project which is expected to help alleviate the public transport shortage in Metro Manila.
LRT 1 currently runs from Baclaran to Roosevelt in Quezon City, while the MRT 3 runs from North Avenue in Quezon City to Taft Avenue in Pasay City.
The planned MRT 7 will begin at Tala, Caloocan City, passing
through Lagro, Fairview, Novaliches, Batasan, Diliman, and Philcoa, before ending at the planned common station at Edsa and North Avenue. The railway will serve an estimated two million commuters in the northern parts of Quezon City and Caloocan City.
The LRTA board in July had approved the award of the P64.9 billion LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension (Cavex) project to the Ayala-Metro Pacific joint venture, called the Light Rail Manila Consortium.
The consortium, lone bidder for the Cavex project, had offered to pay the government a concession premium of P9.35 billion for the right to build, operate, and manage the new rail line.
The consortium is made up of Metro Pacific's Light Rail Corp. with a 55-percent share; Ayala Corp.'s AC Infrastructure Holdings, with 35 percent; and Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings Pte. Ltd., with 10 percent.
Already approved by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), the LRT 1 Cavite Extension project is the biggest infrastructure project under the government's Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program.
The Cavite or South Extension Project will extend the existing LRT Line 1, which covers 21 stations from Roosevelt Avenue in Quezon City to Baclaran in Pasay City. The Cavex will extend the service line by 11.7 kilometers, covering 10 more stations that will pass through the cities of Parañaque and Las Piñas up to Bacoor, Cavite.
The Philippine Star, 06 September 2014
By Lawrence Agcaoili
MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is expediting the award of the P65 billion Light Rail Transit line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite extension project amid the temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the Supreme Court on the transfer of the planned common train station.
Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya said the agency is closely coordinating with the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) on how to go about with the awarding of the public private partnership (PPP) project without going against the order of the high tribunal.
"We are expediting, we are engaging them and we expressed to them that it is to the interest of the country that we are doing this." Abaya said.
The DOTC has yet to award the largest PPP project under the Aquino administration due to the TRO issued by the Supreme Court preventing the DOTC and the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) from transferring the location of the proposed P1.4 billion common train station.
"We are studying it thoroughly, because if you will check the TRO, the restraint is on the common station, not on the award. So this is the biggest PPP project of our agency and we are looking at the possibility of awarding despite the TRO," Abaya said.
While waiting for an opinion from the OSG, the agency is studying the possibility of awarding the contract for the PPP project on the condition that the location of the common station is subject to the decision of the high tribunal.
"It (legal opinion from OSG) will give us legal cover," Abaya said.
Abaya earlier stood by the decision of the DOTC to put up the proposed Metro Rail Transit – Light Rail Transit (MRT-LRT) common station in front of the Trinoma Mall instead of SM City North EDSA.
"It is clear in the contract and our view is still the same that it should be in Trinoma," he said in Filipino earlier.
The DOTC chief said the agency continues to look for a "win-win" solution that would appease SM Prime Holdings Inc. after it secured a TRO from the Supreme Court.
The agency is looking at the possibility of putting up a "mini station" in front of SM City North EDSA to house both the LRT-1 and the proposed P63 billion MRT-7 of diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corp. while the common station in front of Trinoma would house both LRT-1 and MRT-3.
The design of the common station was bundled in the bidding for the P65 billion LRT-1 Cavite extension project wherein Light Rail Manila Consortium was the lone bidder.
Press Release
06 June 2014
It was revealed during the financial bid opening for the LRT-1 PPP project on 05 June 2014 that the Ayala-MPIC consortium is willing to provide premium payments to the government on top of the total project cost, instead of the government providing additional funding support to them for the project. ¬
The DOTC Special Bids and Awards Committee (SBAC) opened the financial proposal of the lone bidder only after passing the evaluation of their technical proposal. Light Rail Manila Consortium was the lone bidder for the project last May 28.
According to DOTC, the financial bid opened is still subject to continuing evaluation and necessary government approvals before the Notice of Award is issued.
The winning bidder for the project will take over the operations of the existing LRT-1 facility in March 2015. And the construction of the extension to Cavite is expected to be completed by October 2018.
The extension of the current 11.7-kilometer LRT Line 1 to Bacoor, in the province of Cavite entails the construction of eight (8) new stations with provisions for two future stations. 10.5 kilometers of the new rail will be elevated and 1.2-kilometer will be at-grade.
When completed, the extended LRT line 1 will capture a projected 820,000 passengers daily who will be commuting from Cavite to Manila. It will provide reliable access to and from the densely populated residential sub-urban communities south of Manila to the various strategic commercial, industrial, and educational districts in the Metro.

SUBSIDY. The government may shoulder P2-billion-worth of real property taxes in the LRT-1 Cavite extension project. Photo courtesy of the PPP Center
MANILA, Philippines – After several delays and the failed bidding for the P60 billion LRT-1 Cavite extension project, the government is mulling a P2 billion subsidy to get the rail project going.
This is among the changes in the project's terms of reference that the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is seeking approval for, according to Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Executive Director Cosette Canilao.
Canilao said the DOTC's Special Bids and Awards Committee is working on getting the nod of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board for government to subsidize the real property taxes (RPT) to be included in the new concession agreement.
"We need the approval of the NEDA Board, but we're still taking away the variables. RPTs will be absorbed by government, " she added.
Canilao has earlier said RPTs amount to almost P2 billion.
She explained that payment of the real property taxes, which will be imposed by the local government units, was the deal breaker when 4 of the pre-qualified bidders withdrew.
"For LRT-1, the RPT really became an issue," she explained.
Three out 4 firms withdrew their participation shortly before the opening of the technical proposals last August 15.
The lone bidder, Light Rail Manila Consortium of Pangilinan-led Metro Pacific Investments Corp., however, failed to meet the requirements of the bidding, which resulted in a failure of bidding.
Canilao said rebidding for the railway project will be conducted before year-end.
The LRT-1 Cavite Extension project is among the biggest PPP projects under the Aquino administration.
The project will extend the existing 20.7-kilometer LRT-1 by 11.7 km, with a new south endpoint in Bacoor, Cavite.
The new line is expected to increase the ridership of LRT-1 from 500,000 to 700,000 passengers per day, and provide faster and more convenient mode of transportation to residents of Cavite, Las Piñas and Parañaque. – Rappler.com
25 October 2012, Philippine Information Agency (PIA)
The bidding for the P60-billion LRT 1 Cavite Extension Project will push through in January 2013, as originally scheduled.
In a statement, the DOTC said that during the prequalification conference held recently in Mandaluyong City six companies submitted their prequalification documents, but two were rejected for arriving late at the event.
"Being transparent is the rule of the game. We are here to ensure a clean, fair, and open bidding process for the DOTC's largest single transport infrastructure program," Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya said in a statement.
The four companies who successfully filed their bid documents were Light Rail Manila Consortium (MPIC-Ayala), San Miguel Infra Resources, Inc., DMCI and MTD-Samsung.
DOTC had to extend the deadline for the submission of prequalification documents three times to encourage more participants. It wants to ensure that the companies or even the consortia to be formed have the required financial, technical and management capability to carry out the project.
"The change in the prequalification dates did not delay the whole process since the submission date of the financial bids will happen sometime in January next year. In essence, the project has not been delayed by this encouragement of a few more bidders," Abaya added.
The existing Line 1, with endpoints in Roosevelt in the North and Baclaran in the South, services about 500,000 commuters daily.
The Cavite Extension will increase the span of Line 1 from 20.7 kilometers to 32.4 kilometers and will have a new south endpoint in Niyog, Bacoor, Cavite, and possibly extended up to Dasmarinas City and Imus.
Eight passenger stations with a provision for two additional stations, one satellite depot and three intermodal facilities is part of the project. Approximately 10.5 kms of the Cavite Extension System will be elevated and 1.2 kms will be at grade.
The passenger stations will tentatively be constructed in the following areas: Redemptorist Station on Redemptorist Road near Roxas Boulevard; MIA Station near the Coastal Mall along Roxas Boulevard; Asia World Station near Asia World Development (Roxas Boulevard); Ninoy Aquino Station, east side of Ninoy Aquino Bridge over the Paranaque River; Dr. Santos Station, south of Dr. Santos Road; Las Pinas Station, east of Quirino Avenue and south of Las Pinas River; Zapote Station, north of the Alabang-Zapote flyover; Niyog Station, south of the Niyog Road bypass and Aguinaldo Highway intersection.
Two provisional stations in Manuyo Uno in Las Pinas City and Talaba in Cavite are also being considered.
Once complete, the new line will increase ridership of LRT1 from 500,000 to 700,000 passengers per day. It will provide faster and more convenient alternative to residents of Cavite, Las Pinas and Paranaque.
The construction will be divided into two phases: from Baclaran to Dr. Santos Avenue (Phase 1A) and from Dr. Santos Avenue to Niyog Station (Phase 1B).
Once the bidding process is complete by January next year, DOTC is looking at issuing a notice of award to the winning bidder by the second quarter of 2013. (DOTC/RJB/JCP/PIA NCR)
23 October 2012, Philippine Daily Inquirer
Four groups—three local and one foreign—are vying for the contract to extend the Light Rail Transit (LRT) line 1 from Parañaque to Cavite, currently the largest infrastructure project being bid out by the Aquino administration.
Conglomerate San Miguel Corp., a consortium led by the group of Manuel V. Pangilinan and the Ayala family, and Consunji-led DMCI Holdings were among the five local groups that submitted prequalifying documents for a significant portion of the P60-billion project.
Two other local firms—EcoRail of the Romeros and Light Rail Transit Systems—submitted the required documents but were later disqualified as they failed to meet the 2 p.m. deadline on Monday.
Pangilinan's Metro Pacific Investments Corp. and Ayala Corp. submitted their documents as Light Rail Manila Consortium. The San Miguel group was represented by subsidiary SMC Infra Resources.
MTD Samsung, a consortium between Malaysia's MTD group and South Korea's Samsung, was the sole foreign bidder.
A total of 33 companies bought prequalification documents for the project but only six actually submitted the required documents, the Department of Transportation and Communications said.
The prequalification documents went through initial screening by the DOTC's special bids and awards committee on Monday. A more detailed assessment of the documents will be done in the coming weeks, officials said.
"The evaluation of documents will be done under circumstances that will not create any doubts on the process," Transportation Undersecretary Jose Perpetuo "Juju" Lotilla said Monday.
"The DOTC does not believe that mysteries are part of the government," he said.
The six companies seek to be qualified, based on their technical and financial capabilities, to bid for the private-sector portion of the LRT Cavite extension project. The final list of qualified bidders will be released on a later date.
The project involves the construction of 12 kilometers of tracks and the installation of electromechanical and signaling systems. This portion is worth P30 billion and will be funded entirely by the private sector.
The winning bidder will also be responsible for the operation of the entire LRT line 1 once the extension is completed.
The other half of the project—the acquisition of new train cars—will be handled by the government and will cost another P30 billion. This will be financed through an overseas development assistance (ODA) loan.
The three-decade-old LRT line 1 runs from Baclaran, Parañaque, to Roosevelt, Quezon City, along Taft and Rizal Avenues and Epifanio de los Santos Avenue.
23 October 2012, ABS-CBN News
Four companies, including San Miguel Corp. and a consortium led by Metro Pacific Investments Corp. and Ayala Corp., on Monday submitted documents to qualify as bidders for the P60-billion Light Rail Transit line 1 Cavite extension project.
The LRT project will extend the existing 20.7-kilometer Line 1 system, which currently runs from Roosevelt Avenue in Quezon City to Baclaran, by an additional 11.7 km to Bacoor, Cavite.
The Light Rail Manila Consortium of MPIC and Ayala groups, San Miguel's SMC Infra Resources Inc., DMCI Holdings, Inc. and MTDC-Samsung Consortium submitted the qualification requirements, which will be evaluated by the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) bids and awards committee.
However, two companies, Ecorail and Luzon Rail Transit System, were disqualified from the bidding since they submitted the documents after the 2 p.m. deadline.
"There are very clear provisions in the invitation to prequalify. It's an all-or-nothing proposition. We decided not to accept the two bids of Ecorail and Luzon Rail for failure to submit their requirements on time," said DOTC Undersecretary Jose Perpetuo Lotilla.
The DOTC bids and awards committee opened the pre-qualification documents submitted by the firms to check whether they have complied with the requirements, and were later resealed. The committee will evaluate the documents and finish within 2 weeks.
The Light Rail Manila Consortium is composed of MPIC, Ayala Corp., AC Infra Holdings Corp., Macquarie Infra Holdings (Phils) Pte Ltd., Metro Pacific Light Rail Corp. and RATP Devt. S.A.
MTDC-Samsung is led by Malaysia's MTD Capital Bhd of Malaysia and South Korea's Samsung. Other members include Union Equities Inc., DM Wenceslao & Associates Inc., Primewater Infra Corp.

A transportation official said on Wednesday that interested bidders of the P60-billion Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 Cavite extension project are expected to submit their bids by March next year.
"We have received a number of interested bidders and we expect the bid submission by March 2013, and to start construction soon after that," said Undersecretary for Planning Rene Limcauco during the 38th Philippine Business Conference.
The agency maintains that it is on track in meeting the original timetable despite delays in the deadline for the submission of prequalification documents. Originally set on August 22, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) has moved the deadline twice to September 28, then again on October 22.
"The fact that the pre-qualification has been deferred does not mean to say that the actual bidding will be deferred," said Transportation Undersecretary Jose Perpetuo Lotilla.
Based on the preliminary information memorandum of the LRT Line 1 Cavite extension project released by the agency in June, the issuance of the notice of award to the winning bidder was supposed to take place March of this year, while actual construction was slated in October 2013.
Former Transportation Secretary Mar Roxas had said construction of the LRT Cavite extension project is expected to be half completed "by late 2014 and the other half by late 2015."
The firms that already purchased pre-qualification documents are San Miguel Infra, Macquarie Group, Mitsubishi Corp., D.M. Consultant Inc., Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd., Sumitomo Corp., Leighton Contractors, SyCip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan, FSG Capital Inc., EFC Enterprises, FF Cruz & Co. Inc., Marubeni Corp., BPI Capital Corp., ING Bank, Jorgman Planning & Development Corp., RATP Development, Benchtel Overseas Corp., Comm Builders & Technical Philippines Corp., Lenvoisa Construction Inc., APT Global Inc., Makati Development Corp., Tranzen Group, SERCO Group, Cathay Energy Service Corp. and Systra Group.
This railway project will extend the existing 20.7-kilometer (km) LRT Line 1 system, which runs from Roosevelt Avenue in Quezon City to Baclaran in Paranaque, by an additional 11.7 km southward to Bacoor, Cavite.
Once completed, the new line will increase ridership of LRT 1 from 500,000 to 700,000 passengers per day thus provide faster and will serve as a more convenient alternative to residents of Cavite, Las Piñas and Parañaque.
The project cost will be equally split between the private sector and the government, which will spend for the purchase of up to 39 new car train sets, construction of the satellite depot, among others.

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) moved by two months the submission of the bids for the P60 billion light rail transit (LRT) 1 extension project to Bacoor in Cavite from Baclaran in Pasay City.
In a speech during the 38th Philippine Business Conference at the Manila Hotel yesterday, DOTC undersecretary Rene Limcaoco said the government has received a number of interested bidders for the project.
"We have received a number of interested bidders and it is now under prequalification," Limcaoco stressed.
He pointed out that the schedule for the submission of bids is in March or two months delayed than the January schedule announced earlier by Transportation undersecretary Jose Perpetuo Lotilla.
"We expect bid submission by March 2013," Limcaoco stressed.
He stressed that the deadline for the submission of bids is originally scheduled in March but the bid bulletin showed that the submission of bids is either on January or February and the notice of award is scheduled in March.
The Cavite Extension project would increase the span of Line 1 from 20.7 kilometers to 32.4 kilometers with a new south endpoint in Niog, Bacoor, Cavite instead of Baclaran. The extension project includes eight stations (with provision for two future stations), 10.5 kilometers of viaduct, support beams, and 3 intermodal facilities.
Approximately 10.5 kilometers of the Cavite Extension System would be elevated and 1.2 kilometers would be at grade level serving nearly four million residents of Parañaque, Las Piñas, and the Province of Cavite.
Limcaoco said the government has set aside P30 billion to acquire up to 39 new Light Rail Vehicles for this project that would be financed through an official development assistance (ODA) scheme of the Japanese government.
He added that the civil works including the construction of the tracks, the stations and all its attendant facilities, as well as operation and maintenance worth about P30 billion would be auctioned to interested investors.
Bidders were given more time to finalize their pre qualification documents as the deadline was moved anew to Oct. 22 instead of Sept. 28. This was the second extension given by the government to interested parties as the original deadline was last Aug. 22.
Conglomerates led by the tandem of Metro Pacific Investment Corp. (MPIC) and Ayala Corp, and SMC Infra Resources Inc. are among the interested bidders for the civil works of the project worth P30 billion that would extend the LRT 1 from Baclaran all the way to Bacoor in Cavite.
Aside from the conglomerates, also present during the investors' briefing and pre-qualification conference last July 10 were Ayala-controlled Makati Development Corp, FF Cruz, DM Consunji Inc. as well as Japanese-owned Marubeni, Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, Itochu as well as French transportation contractors RATP Dev and Systra Group as well as Ecorail and Leighton Contractors.
Also interested were Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd., SyCip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan, FSG Capital Inc., EFC Enterprises, Jorgman Planning & Development Corp., RATP Development, Bechtel Overseas Corp., SERCO Group, Comm Builders & Technical Philippines Corp., Lenvoisa Construction Inc., APT Global Inc., Tranzen Group, and Cathay Energy Service Corp.,
Banks present during the conference were Ayala-controlled Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), BDO Universal Bank of retail magnate Henry Sy, PNB Capital of banking and beverage tycoon Lucio Tan, China Bank, and Dutch financial giant ING Bank, American-owned Citi, and the Macquarie Group of Companies.

With the news today that the dems are caving in to Bush and giving him his blank check for the war until september with no timelines or other strings attached it becomes hopeless that this congress will stop them.
The only hope left is the American people. Maybe I'm dreaming but I truly believe they will come through in the end. The only problem is they will surely wait too long. The sooner they act the better. If they wait too long the damage will be so enormous it will be a disaster to repair and the nation will have to go through great suffering to right itself again. However, I still have faith that it can be done.

Cancers Are Changing Over The Years
October 11, 2012
HPV — the human papilloma virus — is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the U.S. And while most infections don't cause problems — two strains — HPV 16 and 18 — are linked to head and neck and cervical cancers. And as Erika Edwards reports — the face of such cancers has changed in recent years.

Here is how Democrats Cripple the Poor and Create a Permanent Underclass
About David Horowitz
David Horowitz was one of the founders of the New Left in the 1960s and an editor of its largest magazine, Ramparts. He is the author, with Peter Collier, of three best selling dynastic biographies: The Rockefellers: An American Dynasty (1976); The Kennedys: An American Dream (1984); and The Fords: An American Epic (1987). Looking back in anger at their days in the New Left, he and Collier wrote Destructive Generation (1989), a chronicle of their second thoughts about the 60s that has been compared to Whittaker Chambers' Witness and other classic works documenting a break from totalitarianism. Horowitz examined this subject more closely in Radical Son (1996), a memoir tracing his odyssey from "red-diaper baby" to conservative activist that George Gilder described as "the first great autobiography of his generation." He is author of the newly published book The Great Betrayal (Regnery 2014), which is a chronicle of the Democrats treachery in the war on terror before 9/11 to the death of Osama bin Laden.
Interesting; fool that I am, I tended to believe her when she said (about her video, "It's Free — Swipe Yo EBT") that she was using satire to mock the California State Welfare System; or did you think that "raising her 10 … kids [who] can even get to eat from time to time" was some sort of endorsement for a "lifestyle of having fun"?
After all: The key rap in that video was "All you have to do is f**k, and nine months later ya get the big bucks." You really think that's her lifestyle?
Or did she really tell it like it is, with the "Public Service Announcement: This Is Where The Taxpayer Money Goes", just before she started rapping?
"What about the poor?"

Hatred is too strong an emotion to waste on someone you don't like.
Dr. Grordbort's : F.M.O.M. INDUSTRIES Wave Disrupter Gun FOR SALE
The F.M.O.M. Wave Disrupter Gun has many articulated parts and as such should only be operated by adults or very clever children. This 17 inch-long beast makes other Rayguns look like inferior stumps and its additional length can make other users feel inadequate or underprivileged.
This is a limited edition piece with only 500 made worldwide (this is edition 420/500), all handcrafted and made out of metal with some glass parts. It comes with its own velvet lined pressed tin case (which doubles as display stand), Certificate of Authenticity and an assortment of implements and crafting tools.
The display box is approximately 460mm x 320mm x 140mm (18″ x 12.5″ x 5.5″) *All sizes are Approximate*
Displays nicely in its case.
Designed by Greg Broadmore.
"Broadmore is best known for his work on the universe of Dr Grordbort's, which he created in-between working on King Kong and District 9. Broadmore designed a series of retro-futuristic ray guns, which he showed to Weta Workshop special effects supervisor Sir Richard Taylor, who saw their potential as a line of collectibles based within their own universe"
Sculpted and Built by Dave Tremont.
Contact me to make me an offer.
Retro Tape Lamp
Made this very easy to make, cassette tape lamp.
All you need is 30 audio cassettes (I bought mine from tapeline.info), a hot glue gun and some lighting. I used Philips LivingWhite lights so that I could control the intensity and switch it off/on without having an inline switch. Also, you want a bulb that doesn't give off much heat.
Glue 6 tapes together to form one side
then once you have five sides, glue them together into a cube. Done !

Detroit Lakes boya become contenders in Section 8 Nordic skiing
The important aspect for the Detroit Lakes boys' Nordic skiing team wasn't the fact they finished 38th in the 78-team Mesabi East meet at Giant's Ridge Saturday, it was who they finished ahead of.
The Lakers were the second-best team to finish Saturday in Section 8-1A, just 18 points behind Little Falls, while sophomore Jake Richards introduced his name to the state Nordic skiing world by taking fifth overall in the 5K freestyle race with a time of 15:44.7.

Iodine is a bio-accumulative. The parts of the body that need it, particularly the thyroid, grab onto it and hold it in the body until it is needed. This is a lot like the heavy metals like mercury that are extremely tough to "detox" from your system. Because your body holds onto it until it is needed, the occasional megadose of iodine is rarely a problem. It is when you megadose all day, every day that you have issues. Your body can't get rid of the excess iodine fast enough so it sends the thyroid into overdrive, I suspect, to help use up the excess iodine quicker which can lead to damage over the long term.
I think the FDA's "recommended daily allowance" for iodine is a quack. That paints the picture that we need to get a certain amount of iodine daily. But we don't "flush out" iodine on a daily basis like we do with most vitamins and many of the electrolyte minerals that we need to replenish on a daily basis. Just get some seaweed in your diet once or twice a week, a few eggs too, you should be solid.

Borrowed back the PC I upgraded to 2.2 with. Uninstalled 2.2 and installed 2.3
Upgrade process says gyro disconnected. Gyro is OK as live data works prior to trying upgrade. I'll come back to this in a few months. Give it a chance to settle down. Dave |

Freak Failure of BL-3G
Freak Failure:
Output 4 Failure Ive flown my Flyzone Switch dozens of times using my BL3G gyro. Between flights, at home in my basement, I fiddle around testing, updating, entering trims, etc. One time I connected the battery up and the flight controls immediately snapped to attention. The controls moved vigorously, as if power steering were suddenly added. The rudder and elevator positions were not centered, but offset about 10-15 degrees. Moving a control stick made the associated flight control moved fast, as if it couldnt wait to move. After a few minutes of troubleshooting I found that my separate, switching BEC failed. It failed in such a way that the 3S (11.1) battery voltage was no longer regulated down to 5.0 volts. The full 11.1 volts was going to the BL3G, Rx, and servos. Yikes. I changed the BEC to a Castle 10 Amp max output one. My Rx and servos survived this insult. They still worked fine. However, my BL3G ended up with Output 4 (inverted roll channel) inop. I tried several servos on Output 4. No change. I tried resetting the gyro to defaults. No change. Oh well, I bought three at once. Im only using one at present, so I put another one in the plane and all is fine again. Ted |
Nov 11, 2012, 09:28 PM | |
Hi Ted,
The BL-3GRC is designed to operate at an input power supply of up to 20v, what I think must have happened is that when the over voltage was applied to the servos by mistake the servos may have either output some voltage on their input signal lines or somehow caused too much current to flow over these lines, thus damaging gyro output 4. If you have output 3 available just use that instead and invert it from the basic tab page. Mark |

Just a quick note that if you find input 7 (or another input) does't work as gyro on / off (or any another real time switch function) it is likely to be that the min and max values on the power (throttle) matching tab are not set up (Adv1 tab page). If you don't input throttle to the BL-3G you can just set up the min / max boxes manually the same as per pitch, roll, or yaw. It is these, power min/max values, that are also used for the real time switch inputs.

Sub Trim question
Hello Mark,
I am just installing the BL-3G Gyro in my E-slick 540 with dual elevator and dual aileron servos. My question is how do I sub trim my individual elevator or aileron servo to get my control surfaces centered? My goal is to get all control surfaces centered and have the servo control arms at 90 degrees with the pushrods. Thanks, Pete |

Sub Trim question
Im a little slow sometime, well more times than I care to admit. I found the sub trim on the basic tab page of the software. The software has a heading of Subtrim and Output Invert, on the basic tab page. The manual just says Bias (us). As you can see it doesnt take much to confuse me. I have noticed that when I let the plane set for a few minutes without moving the control sticks (reading the manual) the aileron servos will do a little twitch. The movement is so quick it took a few times before I happen to be looking at the plane on one occasion before I saw it happen. Doesnt seem to make any difference if the Gyro is on or off. Is the Gyro doing some sort of reset? Pete |
Dec 06, 2012, 05:04 AM | |
Hi Pete, yes we changed the wording on the control for this hence your confusion. I think the V2.3 user manual available from our website should already be updated with this. You can do the sub trim either from the Adv1 tab (and follow the procedure in the manual) or from the basic tab as you already figured out. Not sure about the twitch, but the gyro will not be doing any resetting - will check into it.

Input sensitivity
I have a question about input sensitivity. When I am flying my plane with the gyro turned off my plane flies like it did before gyro installation, but when I turn on the gyro the plane flies as if I had turned down the rate on my Tx. My airplane is more responsive in low rate with the gyro turned off that in high rate when the gyro turned on. Since the gyro seems to reduce the response of my Tx input. I think I should increase the input sensitivity on the Professional 1 tab page. The x, y, and z sensitivity is currently at 1.10. What is the range of input sensitivity and what increment would you suggest I use to start increasing the sensitivity of Tx input ? I will add here that on the ground the control surfaces appear to move the same distance with and without the gyro turned on. Am I on the right trail? Pete |
Dec 14, 2012, 05:12 AM | |
Hi Pete, on the ground the range looks similar with gyro on or off, but note that if you move the control surface on the ground and the plane does not move (as it should or would when flying) then the gyro is adding further control surface movement (how much depends on the gain) to try to achieve the required rate. Hence you are right that some reduction in sensitivity when flying is to be expected. You can increase the sensitivity on the Prof1 page. It is a linear adjustment, ie 1.0 or thereabouts can be considered to be 100% and 2.0 double. I would suggest to move it to say 1.3. and see how you go.

Sir George Iacobescu, chairman and chief executive officer of Canary Wharf Group said: "We are very pleased to have worked in collaboration with Tower Hamlets and the local community in helping to achieve this important planning permission.
"This major eastern development of Canary Wharf will reinforce the district as one of London's most vibrant and dynamic mixed-use commercial and residential districts.
"We expect to be on site in the fourth quarter of 2014, with the first buildings to be occupied as early as the end of 2018."
The development is expected to create 17,000 jobs, of which 3,500 are planned for the local community.

Ocean Power Technologies Announces Results For The Fiscal Third Quarter Ended January 31, 2014
PENNINGTON, N.J., March 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPTT) ("OPT" or "the Company") today announced financial results for its Fiscal 2014 third quarter and the nine months ended January 31, 2014.
- OPT recently announced that an amended grant agreement related to its planned wave power station project off the coast of Australia was signed with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency ("ARENA"). This amended agreement is a Deed of Variation to the original Funding Deed through which a A$66.5 million grant was previously awarded to Victorian Wave Partners Pty Ltd ("VWP"), a project-specific operating entity wholly-owned by Ocean Power Technologies (Australasia) Pty Ltd ("OPTA", which is 88% owned by OPT). Payments to VWP under the grant require completion of specific project milestones. VWP has been conducting site surveys toward meeting the requirements for licenses and approvals. In addition, it is assessing prospective power purchase agreements with local industries and utilities and is working with financial advisors in connection with efforts to raise the required additional project funding. For this project Lockheed Martin will provide overall project management.
- During the quarter, the Company began work under a contract received from Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding ("MES") for the design and delivery of key components of a PowerBuoy for deployment off the coast of Japan.
- The Autonomous Power group completed ocean testing of a novel generation system for low power requirements in connection with a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1 contract from the U.S. Department of Defense. Work was also conducted on the development of advanced control algorithms as part of a U.S. Department of Energy SBIR Phase 1 contract. This advanced control work will also support the Utility Power group.
- OPT's contract backlog remained stable at $5.6 million as of January 31, 2014 compared to $5.8 million as of October 31, 2013.
- During the quarter ended January 31, 2014 and in February 2014, the Company strengthened its balance sheet through the sale of $6.3 million of common stock under its existing At the Market ("ATM") offering facility with Ascendiant Capital Markets.
- The Company also announced that it recently received approximately $1.75 million through the State of New Jersey's Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program.
- The Company also announced the hiring of two executives during the quarter.
— David R. Heinz was appointed to the position of Vice President, Autonomous Power. Mr. Heinz previously held the position of Vice President and General Manager of the Maritime Systems division of iRobot Corp., a maker of underwater autonomous vehicles. Previously Mr. Heinz served as a Major General in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he ran large acquisition programs, performed oversight of worldwide military operations, and had tours with aviation squadrons in combat situations.
