Anyone know how to do this on deviation firmware? I'm really tx stupid. |
Nov 20, 2012, 02:23 PM | |
Ye its the same all over i think,,my old 35mhz futabaTx does the same thing but its called REVO in the menue and is just used to help tune the tail or you could add a servo into the mix if the heli went a certain direction when you punch the throttle hard ,just say when you did pitch pumps the heli would go up and to the left or up and forward you put the servo into the mix and when you punch the gas it moves a servo the right amount to make the heli stable

They will sell a mini cp with devo 8S on Black Friday. Only $219.99 + shipping cost. This is the best deal that I have ever seen. Unfortunately, here is not US. I cannot buy it Although wow provides an international shipping, the shipping cost is very expensive..... |

Yeah. $219 for the miniCP and Devo 8S combo is great. If not only for the TX alone. Buy a TX, get a Mini CP for free.
The Genius CP with Devo 8S combo is like $199. So tempting, since I will be driving by them this weekend. Already stopped into their office last Sat and purchased a bunch of canopy. They all are the same shape and fits on the Mini CP BTW. |

Hi guys.
I'm using a devo7E with this heli and wanted to get away from the stock settings it has from banggood but having a bit of trouble. It flies awesome but the issue I'm getting is regarding the pitch curve. I set the low to -100 pitch and it gives me 87.5 only. When I check in the menu it says 100% but the onscreen readout says 87.5 at lowest point. In normal mode it when set to zero pitch, the tx gives me -12.5%. Medium and high points, dual rates and expo all seem fine. If anyone can help me put this in flip mode I'd be super grateful, i'm gagging to try something funky with it. |

Also i wouldn't recommend 100% pitch travel with the stock motor. Its going to bog down badly. |
Nov 22, 2012, 05:24 PM | |
Yeah, sorry if i'm slow on the understanding why.
I made a new model instead of trying to change a copy of the provided and the phantom 12.5% is now gone but neither normal or stunt mode give me a stable take off. I'd love to actually understand what my blunder is though. I'm ready for some basic 3D and some fast flying outside, is there a pitch and throttle curve you can recommend? Ideally I would like normal mode to be no negative pitch so friends can fly it similar to a fixed pitch style and 3D mode nice and aggressive to grow into now I got some spares on stand by |

Velez Hearing Day 3: A Portrait of Constitutionally Inadequate Counsel
In Day 3 of the Velez hearing in Brownsville, Texas, I want to take a moment to explain the legal context – the rule of constitutional law – that will entitle Manuel Velez to relief if the judge, the Hon. Elia Cornejo Lopez, credits the facts presented.
The legal journey starts 50 years back with the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Gideon v. Wainwright. There, the court held that the Constitution entitles poor people facing possible imprisonment counsel appointed at the state's expense. In later decisions, the court clarified that a poor person's right to appointed counsel is a right to effective counsel.
So how does an appellate court, after a conviction, test whether the prisoner had effective counsel? The law gives a two-step test. First, counsel's alleged mistakes must be serious errors, not Monday-morning complaints that a different strategy would have worked better. Second, the prisoner has to show that the trial attorney's mistakes or omissions made a difference in the trial's outcome – in legal parlance, "a reasonable probability of a different outcome."
A typical winning claim looks like this. Counsel failed to present readily available evidence of the prisoner's innocence. And, had that innocence evidence been shown at trial, it likely would have made a difference in the jury's decision.
The task in this hearing for Manuel's counsel, a dedicated team of lawyers from the firms Carrington Coleman and Rothgerber, Johnson, and Lyons, has been to demonstrate counsel's failures to show that the child victim had been injured long before Manuel had access to him. Much of the hearing evidence is medical evidence of the child's injuries that counsel failed to explore in the 2008 trial, which led to Manuel's capital murder conviction and death sentence.
One of the crucial building blocks is to show that Manuel's trial counsel had every reason to question the timing of the child's injuries, but failed to do so. Yesterday, Manuel's lawyers did just that with the presentation of deposition testimony of Dr. J. Keith Rose, who had met with Manuel's trial attorneys in advance of the 2008 trial. Well before trial, Rose had told trial counsel they needed a forensic pathologist to look at the case, to look closely at brain injuries that appeared based on records to be more than two weeks old, and to create a timeline of injuries based on all available medical records. Rose also testified to medical records (in the months before the child's death) showing a dramatic increase in the child's head circumference, a cardinal sign of head trauma. Rose testified that counsel in 2008, while asking advice on what to do, had not brought him these crucially important records.
The second building block is to show that, had appropriate experts been called, a timeline created, and all records gathered, the result of Manuel's 2008 trial would have been different. Many experts are testifying along these lines in this hearing. Today it was Dr. Ronald H. Uscinski, a renowned neurosurgeon whose academic work was cited in a recent U.S. Supreme Court opinion. Uscinski showed the court the child victim's CAT scan and microscopic slides of his brain, both of which showed that the injuries ultimately resulting in his death happened months before Manuel was involved with the child's family.

The hearing continues Friday with testimony by several witnesses, including one of the attorneys who represented Manuel at his unjust 2008 trial.

While opportunities for conducting business and pursuing lifestyles online have exploded in recent decades, the growing capabilities offered by internet access are not without their potential risks. Cyber fraud has become an alarmingly widespread concern, with many people and companies finding themselves facing serious losses that may be difficult if not impossible to recover. There are several ways to fight back against the perpetrators of cyber fraud, many of which involve getting informed and taking basic security steps to ensure that the most common tricks and ploys don't make it past your personal radar. Among these methods, actually reading merchant policies can be one of the most effective. Though cyber fraud can occur in situations that do not involve making online purchases, many such incidents do center on taking advantage of people who wish to shop over the internet. Efforts to curb this activity and to generate trust in those merchants who are only out to conduct themselves with honesty and integrity have resulted in the widespread adoption of policy publication, and these tools can be used by consumers to provide a new layer of security to their shopping activities online.
Actually sitting down and reading the full contents of a company's policy may seem like an outrageous task. After all, many parts of modern life involve the implicit or direct approval of policies that aren't often, if ever, truly read all the way through. Though taking policies lightly may be a perfectly admissible practice in some contexts, it can lead to disaster when money or important personal data is being handed over. For this reason, it's a good idea to look into the policies of any merchants that are used over the internet before making an initial purchase. Though it may seem that policies, whether for privacy, returns, guarantees, or other terms are excessively long and made confusing with legal jargon, quickly reading through these documents can yield positive results even without lots of free time or a background in law. People are likely to be able to pick up on policies that seem suspicious or which attempt to hide some important or potentially misleading piece of information. In the space of five or ten minutes, it may be possible to prevent days or even longer periods of strife and inconvenience from cyber fraud.
In some cases, companies and unscrupulous individuals may make a concerted effort to render their policies almost impossible to comprehend. Others may not have such policies available for review by the public at all. In either situation, rather than risking personal finances, time, and peace of mind, it may be well worth it to simply opt-out of the deal in question and to look for the desired items or services elsewhere. One of the greatest advantages of the volume of business conducted over the internet today is the availability of products and services from many different vendors, some of which may be of different levels of quality or expertise, and mail hail from different nations and backgrounds. There are truly very few circumstances in which there is only one entity offering something of value, and people who are faced by arcane and inconvenient policies or who cannot find readily-available information regarding such policies from a merchant may find their shopping experience far more satisfying by simply seeking out a different merchant.
For whatever reason, of course, it may be that a certain merchant is highly desirable. Whether it's a steep discount, a recommendation from a friend or colleague, or some other incentive, people may feel especially drawn to a certain vendor yet still experience difficulty in finding or deciphering their policies. When this happens, it may be worthwhile to look for relevant information on the merchant's reputation. A long-standing rapport created with a large number of customers for a range of products or services can help show that a company has earned –and likely deserves– trust, though it must be kept in mind that such details can be fabricated. A more secure, if certainly more costly, approach to discovering whether a merchant is really a good choice is seeking the services of a legal professional. Depending on the size of the purchase in question and various other elements of the proposed transaction, paying a small amount of money for an hour or so of a lawyer's time may be a fairly easy and straightforward –and of course, effective– way to get a good answer.
Though cyber fraud can happen even to people who make an attempt to protect themselves, there are many ways that the risk of becoming a cyber fraud victim can be minimized. By paying closer attention to merchant policies, many routes of perpetrating cyber fraud are effectively destroyed.

As in Seattle and Washington, D.C., Jubilee 2000 and other supporters of debt relief are present - but this time in the suites as well as in the streets. The backdrop was set for the meeting when the World Bank issued a new study arguing that economic growth alone is not sufficient to overcome poverty as long as existing political and economic systems favor the rich over the poor. The director of the study noted that "in order to increase poor people's share of this growth, we're going to have to address inequalities." Jubilee 2000 is continuing to call on the World Bank and IMF to cancel 100 percent of the debt owed to them. Along with street demonstrations, this time there were also meetings with top officials of the institutions. Czech President Vaclav Havel convened a public dialogue between critics from a variety of NGOs and financial leaders. Jubilee 2000 UK Director Anne Pettifor noted, "It's very seldom you get powerful people listening to civil society." Yet the meetings of the institution's Development and Financial committees ended with a recommendation of a 30 percent cut in debt, not the full relief Jubilee 2000 seeks. Pettifor responded, "We are angry and deeply disappointed....Finance ministers seem incapable of understanding that the poorest countries are effectively insolvent and need 100 percent cut in their debt service - not the one-third cut on offer." On Tuesday, as the meeting's opening session got underway, thousands of demonstrators were in the streets. Bank President Wolfensohn noted the demonstrations in his speech: "Outside these walls, young people are demonstrating against globalization. I believe deeply that many of them are asking legitimate questions, and I embrace the commitment of a new generation to fight poverty. I share their passion and their questioning." Meanwhile, back in Washington, as the congressional year winds down to the election, Jubilee 2000 U.S. held a press conference to urge representatives to fully fund $435 million for debt relief in the Foreign Operations Appropriations conference report. U2 star Bono, Secretary of the Treasury Lawerence Summers, White House Chief Economic Adviser Gene Sperling, and a bipartisan group of congressional members spoke of the pressing need for the U.S. government to fulfill its commitment. Rep. Maxine Waters, a leader of the effort, noted especially the role played by Jubilee 2000: "This is really a spiritual movement. And I want you to know it could not have been, had it not been for Jubilee 2000. They have been able to organize religious organizations all over the world to come together with nongovernmental organizations and to really move this issue forward. It would not have happened without them." Jubilee is calling on all supporters of debt relief to phone senators and representatives to urge that they support full funding for debt relief programs as a step toward Jubilee goals.

"I've been part of the discussion on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve since the days it was first established," Mr. Gore told reporters. In fact, the oil storage reserve was authorized and signed into law in 1975 - two years before Mr. Gore was in Congress; it was being filled with oil by the middle of 1977, about five months after he became a member of the House of Representatives. In a separate episode Mr. Gore claimed that his mother-in-law paid three times as much for her arthritis prescription drug than Mr. Gore paid for the same drug that his dog takes. It turned out that his numbers were lifted whole from a House Democratic study and that he could not substantiate his story. Next, Mr. Gore claimed that the union song "Look For The Union Label" was sung to him as a child as a lullaby when, in fact, the TV jingle came out in 1975 when he was 27.

The scenario reinforces my sense that people in the U.S. and Canada who are committed to social justice and to healing the earth must prepare IN ADVANCE a very different campaign; one that focuses on taxing excess oil-company profits - not reducing taxes on gasoline or heating oil - and on channeling the money raised toward (a) assistance for the poor who will be hardest hit by higher prices for heating oil and natural gas, and (b)support for mass transit, biking, conservation of energy, and renewable energy sources. For the religious community (and also for nonreligious progressives), that could be a major focus this fall, within a broader campaign to halt global scorching and to advance social justice. And for individual synagogues, churches, mosques, etc., it could also be a focus of direct service to the poor. ------------------------- Mary Friesen of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, wrote: The city of Winnipeg (Canada) hosted a significant international conference on global issues relating to children affected by war.

The announcer said something about African-American pentecostals who played their gospel music on country-and-western steel guitars. They called it "Sacred Steel." I never heard the report that day, but the image stuck. It was so rich with paradox - even apparent contradiction - that, if you know anything about American music, it seemed inevitable. That's because the mixing of musical repertoires, traditions, and instruments across racial lines is the story of American musical culture. For instance, there is no instrument more firmly associated with country music than the banjo, but it came directly from West Africa, where it was called a "banjar." We have jazz today because, after the Civil War, freed slaves picked up the brass instruments left behind by military bands. For my money, the Sacred Steel Live sampler (issued in 1999) is the place to start. This music is most effective in the worship/performance setting, where the congregation, and the Spirit, can pull the players along to higher heights. The Live disc also features more vocals, which may make the music more accessible to the newcomer. But I'm also biased; the Live set is heavily dominated by the Campbell Brothers, who - though in their 40s - are the youngest of the recorded Sacred Steelers, and the ones closest in sound and spirit to the roots of rock and roll. The original Sacred Steel sampler features a wider range of artists and a wonderful version of Willie Eason's famous tribute to FDR ("A Poor Man's Friend").

For the first time, this event was open to the press. The September 20 gathering of Christians from across the country provided an important opportunity to discuss the upcoming election and what role the candidates' faith should have in the public discourse. Groups represented included the National Association of Evangelicals, The National Council of Churches, The Salvation Army, and the United States Catholic Conference/ National Conference of Catholic Bishops. In all, more than 40 denominations and faith-based organizations took part in the event. In his Washington Times article on September 21, Larry Witham remarked that the Round Table's "meditation on how Jesus washed the feet of others" was a "far cry from the profile of candidates eyeing White House power and voters wanting cash benefits." The diverse group of Christian leaders agreed to further discuss, and hopefully agree, on specific policy suggestions on several topics in the coming months, including children in poverty, the criminal justice system, and urban decay.

ST. PAUL - Border cities would fall under the same laws as other Minnesota communities, a House committee decided Monday when debating a statewide smoking ban. Rep. Bud Nornes, R-Fergus Falls, wanted smoking allowed in border cities' bars and private clubs, but it was defeated on a close voice vote.
ST. PAUL - One of the country's most quoted political scientists labels U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Gov.
U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar says he is worried that airline maintenance and inspection standards are slipping. The Minnesota Democrat said airlines hiring other companies to conduct maintenance could be hurting safety. In a recent House hearing, Oberstar told Federal Aviation Administration officials about his concern. "You lose contact with the reality that this is an aircraft, not a piece of paper, not a document popping up on a computer screen," Oberstar said. "I am much more comfortable with hands-on than I am with fingers on the keyboard and pop-up screens."
ST. PAUL - Minnesota Democratic senators knew in February they would suggest raising taxes to fund their top priorities, but first talked about it publicly last week and on Saturday passed a nearly $1 billion income tax increase. The tax increase was kept under wraps to direct attention toward education needs, the Senate's education finance chairman said. "There is a hesitancy on keeping the center of focus on taxes rather than investment," Sen.
ST. PAUL - It was just last Monday when the Minnesota Senate approved an education funding bill, but now Senate Democrats want to add another $444 million. That education funding bump and property tax relief require a $900 million income tax increase, Senate leaders say. Democratic-Farmer-Laborite senators Thursday released a plan to spend $444 million more than a $794 million raise the full Senate approved on Monday.
ST. PAUL - A Senate tax bill Minnesota senators may consider Friday would stop Gov. Tim Pawlenty's Job Opportunity Building Zone program, his top rural economic priority. JOBZ would accept no new businesses after May 1 under the bill introduced Wednesday.
ST. PAUL - Income tax increases topping $500 million appear likely to pass the Minnesota Senate by week's end. Democratic-Farmer-Laborite senators want to bump up education funding anywhere between $500 million and $1 billion, and income taxes look like their chosen way to fund the bigger budgets. Decisions could be made today about just how to raise taxes, with the Senate Taxes Committee chairman suggesting they restore personal income taxes to 2001 levels. Sen. Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, said he and others made a mistake cutting taxes in 2001.
ST. PAUL - Minnesota senators passed the largest of three public works bills Wednesday, but there is a desire for more. Moments after senators voted 56-9 to fund $306 million in public works projects, the committee chairman in charge of picking projects to fund said he expects to spend even more. The House Tuesday night approved $255 million in public works projects, while Gov. Tim Pawlenty asked for $71 million. The Senate bill would spend $135 million from a $1 billion state budget surplus. Another $170 million would be funded by the state selling bonds. Sen.
ST. PAUL - The average rural Minnesota homeowner would pay 9.9 percent lower property taxes under a House Democratic proposal that faces a questionable future. "This plan, linking it to income, will allow senior citizens to stay in their houses, families to stay in their neighborhoods and farmers to stay on the land," Property Tax Chairman Paul Marquart, DFL-Dilworth, said. What Revenue Commissioner Warn Einess called a "supercharged" property tax refund based partially on a taxpayer's income would provide much of the tax relief. But Einess said Gov.
ST. PAUL - Smokers would be banned from all public Minnesota workplaces other than well ventilated outdoor patios under a Senate-passed bill. Minnesota senators voted 41-24 Tuesday for a strict smoking ban, turning back several efforts to weaken it. The House version of the measure awaits action in a committee with a chairman opposed to the measure. Long-time anti-smoking advocate Sen. Steve Dille, R-Dassel, said the Senate vote is a victory. "My main thing is trying to change the culture," he said. "This legislation will discourage smoking in this state.

Goa See And Do
Famous throughout Goa for its Wednesday flea market, Anjuna, together with nearby Vagator and Chapora, is now the hub of Goa's party scene. The flea market is a great blend of Tibetan and Kashmiri traders, colorful Gujarati tribal women, Western tourists, and 21st-century hippies. It's the best place to shop for souvenirs, trinkets, shawls, and jewelry, and even if you're not after anything specific, it's a wonderful place to browse. Take great care of your possessions, as theft is a big problem.
A few miles east of Margao lies the small, sleepy village of Chandor, once the site of Chandrapur (capital of the ancient state of Govarashtra), the most spectacular city on the Konkani coast. Today, Chandor is worth a visit to see the Braganza House, probably the grandest colonial mansion in Goa. Dominating the dusty village square, the structure, built in the 16th century by the wealthy Braganza family for their two sons, has a huge two-story facade, with 28 windows flanking its entrance.
Hard to believe that only about 25 years ago, little existed of what visitors today know as Colva, the main package-holiday resort of south Goa. Benaulim Beach, less than two miles south, is tranquil, but Palolem is probably Goa's most beautiful and idyllic stretch. The sweeping crescent of white sand is fringed by a shady rim of coconut palms, and the whole shore is hemmed in by rocky crags at either end. The development is low-key and mostly consists of simple rickety beach huts and guesthouses.
Old Goa
Old Goa, former capital of this Portuguese colony, was once so grand that it rivaled Lisbon in magnificence. Known formerly as Rome of the East, the town still bristles with 16th-century churches, convents, and cathedrals. Housed in an Italianate chapel, the Professed House, is the coffin of St. Francis Xavier, an important pilgrimage site for Catholics. The Jesuit priest died on 1552 but his flesh did not decomposeyou can see his body through the small windows along his embossed silver coffin.
The Portuguese moved the capital from Old Goa to Panaji in 1843. But it's hard to believe that sleepy Panaji, sitting on the southern bank of the Mandovi River, is a state capital. Most people pass through on their way to the beaches or to historically rich Old Goa, a few miles east of the capital. However, Panaji's old quarters, Fontainhas and Sao Tome, are well worth exploring and still bear a distinctive Portuguese influence, with red-tiled roofs, wrought-iron balconies, and winding streets.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
It's said that two may close here on Long Island. Still hopin' for us to get our checks soon. pops
I am hoping some have started receiving their February 15 payout checks in the mail. If not, something seems amiss. We certainly should have started seeing them by now. popswhopreferstoseesuchmattersexecutedinatimelymanner.
We usually get them starting around the 27th. It does seem weird no one has gotten one yet, but with this being a shorter month, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them show up in March. Mark
Nothing here either and mail already came for 3/1. Good thing I don't count on it to pay the mortgage :|
I didn't redeem until Feb 16th, so I am assuming (???) my check wasn't processed or whatever it does until March 1st ... Kimm
Redeemed Feb 4. No check yet here (Michigan).
eBay accounting just informed me that the Feb 15th redemption processed this week. They were a little behind on their end, so checks will not get mailed until this Tuesday, March 6th. I apologize for the delay. Christal
Apology accepted yet I say, "Bummer!" And it's a shame that it takes two weeks to find out they were delayed and now it's another week to get sent out and then the snail mail waiting. Quite frankly, even though I am expecting money right now, a week or three difference doesn't matter...this time. But that doesn't make an unreported delay OK. There was a short time in the history of Epinions, until recently, when we knew that the 1st and 15th were the cash out days and we would receive a check within two weeks after that. Epinions didn't play around with people's money. Even though we don't have paypal for instant gratification, that system worked well enough for me because I knew and trusted the system. To me it was reasonable and was working in a timely manner and I could work within that system cashing out and using the dollars when they came in. I also understand that things can go wrong in any business but what I don't understand is the disconnect in getting that information from Ebay and out to us. Whoever signs off and creates the checks should be considerate enough to send word that things are delayed well before the checks are not only expected, but late!! I don't know where the disconnect happened but to me there's no excuse for it. When it come to handling people's money it should never be handled in a cavalier manner. popsventing
Thank you for the update, Christal.
Aargh! Thanks for the explanation Christal. Mike *Mailman is tired of a bald man looking out the window :)
Thanks Christal, I depend on these checks too, but I also know that with Google flexing its muscles, the big boys at Ebay had to contend with a possible choking off of all revenue..much less worry about one of their minor subsidiaries..With that in mind, I'd rather live with the delay in a one time payout than the thought of no more checks at all.
I'm also assuming that since the first of the month deposits don't acutally ever happen until several days into the month that this will be the new norm? (early month redemptions not processing until the 15th at the earliest?)

Taking Imperfect Action is Better Than Taking No Action At All
By Bambi Corso
There have been many times in my life that I have operated from the belief that no matter what it was I wanted to do or put out into the world, it had to be perfect before I could ever share it. I wasn't going to launch my website, write any articles or hold a teleseminar until I was already well established in my field. I would sit and fantasize about the "someday" when I could do what I loved, and what things would look like when… But then I had that big "ah-ha" moment. My perfectionism was paralyzing me from living my calling and my dream and I had to ask myself that pressing question, "If not now, when?"
I knew that if I waited for whatever it was I was working on to be perfect then I would never actually complete it. I had to get out of my own way and just do it. You see, perfection is a word that goes against the action of implementation and allows us to procrastinate instead of allowing ourselves to be in motion and be part of the momentum of life living itself. And perfectionism has a payoff. It means I never have to put myself out there for fear of judgment from others or even from fear of success.
To be honest, perfection isn't even a word that should be in our vocabulary. It implies the unachievable. There is a certain kind of tension between the opposites when it comes to this word because nothing will ever be perfect and yet everything is perfect just the way it is. The ideal way is accepting and appreciating things exactly as they are.
The beauty in taking imperfect action is it allows us to be on the journey of becoming instead of seeing a destination point that is far from our reach today. To apply imperfect action immediately brings us one step closer to that destination by just being and doing.

Talk:Meteorite classification
WikiProject Solar System | (Rated C-class, High-importance) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
WikiProject Geology / Meteorites | (Rated Start-class, Low-importance) | |||||||||||||||||||
This article needs a section on petrologic types.
Inappropriate link removal[edit]
I do not agree with users Mannheim_34 and Ohnoitsjamie with their removal of any link to webpages hosted on a commercial website (almost any .com domain). I expressed my opinion here and here. I ask to the community: are these in your opinion links to "web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services, or to web pages with objectionable amounts of advertising"?
- Meteorite Classification List - a _very_ useful list of meteorites by type.
- Meteorites classification - pretty informative and well written page
I don't want to start an edit war so if you agree with my point of view please restore any suitable reference removed [1] from this article. Thanks. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 23:08, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
The weathering addition is not relevant to this page. Meteorite classification is about putting meteorites into groups of related samples, which is a tool for understanding their origins. There are many other properties one can measure for meteorites: weathering, shock, ages, degree of alteration, metamorphism, color, density, and on and on. While one can divide each of these into "classes" the way the weathering scale does, this is not what is meant here by classification. These are secondary processes and can be discussed elsewhere, perhaps in a new article. JeffG (talk) 01:52, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, a new article sounds reasonable. Let's use more these talkpages... -- Basilicofresco (msg) 07:23, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Recent improvements[edit]
I'm really appreciating your work on Meteorite classification and related topics Tobias; it's beginning to be understandable even to this layman. One small point, you removed magmatic/non-magmatic from from {{Meteorites}} (which is fine) yet it's still used in Meteorite_classification#Traditional_classification_scheme in a way that makes it look useful. If we're going to go with the Weisberg et al. scheme then perhaps you should restructure Meteorite classification so that the Weisberg scheme comes first and is fully described while the traditional scheme takes a less staring role? If so, then perhaps the history section should come earlier in the article too (second or third as it does in many articles). -Arb. (talk) 14:22, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- I'm glad you find my writing understandable. Sometimes my English sentences sound a little weird :). I removed the terms because Weisberg finds them very misleading. Both categories involve magmatic processes. The nonmagmatic meteorites pretty much just got translated into the primitive achondrite meteorites and grouped with the acapulcoites, lodranites, winonaites, urelites and brachinites.
- It is a little hard to find out if the older term was fully abandoned. I can find 94 papers that used "non-magmatic meteorite" since 2008. The term "primitive achondrite" is used 836 times. The "Treatise on Geochemistry, Volume 1: Meteorites, Comets and Planets" also use "primitive achondrites" and finds the term "nonmagmatic" misleading.
- I think we might as well use the Weisberg classification in the template and the "meteorite classification" article. It is the newest published classification and in wide use. --Tobias1984 (talk) 15:45, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geology/Meteorites#Are irons and stony-irons achondrites? -- Basilicofresco (msg) 00:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Quote: "Meteoritical Bulletin Database, note 6: The Type field shows the classification of the meteorite. If the meteorite was published in both the Catalogue of Meteorites and MetBase (see columns NHMCat and MetBase), both classifications will appear if they do not agree. If the meteorite was just published in one of these sources, the classification from that source will be listed. If the meteorite was published in neither, the classification comes from the Meteoritical Bulletin (approved names) or from unreviewed reports (provisional names)."
- Catalogue of Meteorites (2000), 5 ed, ISBN:9780521663038, pp. 696, Cambridge University Press
- MetBase
- Material: stone (ST), iron (IR), stony-iron (SI)

- I think that we should mainly follow NHMCat and MetBase too. Cheers --Chris.urs-o (talk) 20:45, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geology/Meteorites#Are irons and stony-irons achondrites? -- Basilicofresco (msg) 00:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- If you have access to Metbase you could add the classification scheme as a collapsible template to the article in a similar way like in the history section. It would be very informative to have a few newer catalogs in the article. --Tobias1984 (talk) 21:18, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- This is from the User's Manual only ;) --Chris.urs-o (talk) 21:28, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- O, I see :). I don't have access either. The classification looks similar to the Geochemstry treatise, and also Rubin 2000 (this article). It groups all the irons together, even those that have silicate inclusions which are often classified with the primitive achondrites. Of course we have to modify all the schemes a little because of the new martian meteorite group (NWA 7034) and the IIG and IIF meteorites. But I think that a classification like this one is surely the way to go for the infobox and the bottom template. --Tobias1984 (talk) 22:12, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Better than Ever (50 Plus Retreat)
Keynote Speaker: Elva Hurst, Chalk Artist
Banquet Entertainment: Higher Ground Quartet
Elva grew up in a large conservative Mennonite family in Ephrata, PA where she attended a small "one room" Amish and Mennonite school. Art was viewed as frivolous by many of those around her, but that did not keep Elva from etching scenes in between chore on the family dairy farm. Elva's interest in "chalk talks" began when she and her husband moved to Tulsa, OK to attend Bible school for two years. It was there where she started using this technique while teaching Sunday school classes. Word of her work quickly spread and soon she was asked to perform chalk talks for other gatherings. When people express amazement that an untrained artist with no formal educations has had full-time work for more than twenty years, Elva responds by saying: "I give all the credit to God. He opens the doors and makes the way." Click here to read more on Elva's Amazing Story.
These young men have enjoyed singing together for a number of years and made several recordings. There have been a couple of changes, member wise, within the quartet but the group is still together....the singing goes on...with many good times together and four hearts full of praise to a great God.

Gaming Scene in Africa | Maliyo Games Vs Ma3Racer
BY Sam Wakoba
Move over Rovio's Angry Birds and Bad Piggies. Gaming startups in Africa are changing the game scene on the continent, slowly replacing internationally popular games.
Nigeria's Maliyo Games is at the moment pushing for local content for the more than 160 million people online and the one billion mobile subscribers in Africa. According to Hugo Obi founder of Maliyo Games, the lack of African themed games both online on mobile phones left a gap which even popular Nollywood movies could not fill. When they began, no one was developing games specifically for Africa. Read more

Mammo Muchie (Author), Peter Gammeltoft (Author), Bengt-Åke Lundvall (Author)
The expression 'national systems of innovation' was introduced in the 1980s to emphasize the interdependence between technical and institutional change. For many reasons, the work on Africa is especially important. No continent has a more complex pattern of national boundaries or of ethnic, religious and tribal subsystems, interacting with sectoral systems. Therefore to understand the patterns of existing innovation systems, and their limitations and to devise ways to deliver much greater benefits to all the peoples of Africa is a fundamental need for the continent. Especially at this time of global economic instability, this work is needed more than ever to 'put the last first'.

If I recall correctly, that is horribly wrong. The only quest I remember where you just collect items is Cook's Assistant. Every other quest required wits and knowledge to solve (Or just go on RuneWiki).
I won't spoil it for any body but here is an example of the hard quests in RS
Infact, I actually spent over 24 hours on underground pass because I couldn't figure out how to get A piece of Iban's flesh but I refused to use a quest guide and I even left the zone to take a break and return later. I went back to the pass several times before figuring it out and I was about to ready to hang myself from the stress but I did it. It means more to me that I figured it out instead of being led by the nose by a person or quest guide.
Same with the quest recruitment drive you are presented with a challenge that requires you use a bit of chemistry to open the door.
Let me show you a riddle from Freminek trials.
My first is in water and also in tea my second in fish but not in the sea?
my third in mountains but not underground my last is a strike but not a pound.
my whole crushes mountains, drains rivers and destroys civilizations all that live fear my passing what am i?
Underground Pass was probably one of the more challenging quests if you didn't have high agility. My agility borderlined with the minimum requirement so I spent a good 2 days trying to make every damn jump without fail. And I wasn't stating that I use questguides, I was just pointing out that that's what 90% of players do.

Frankfort Ave / Crescent Ct median real estate price is $226,497, which is more expensive than 93.2% of the neighborhoods in Kentucky and 64.7% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Frankfort Ave / Crescent Ct is currently $760, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. The average rental cost in this neighborhood is higher than 86.5% of the neighborhoods in Kentucky.
Frankfort Ave / Crescent Ct is an urban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Louisville, Kentucky.
Frankfort Ave / Crescent Ct real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom) single-family homes and small apartment buildings. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the Frankfort Ave / Crescent Ct neighborhood are relatively historic, built no later than 1939, and in some cases, quite a bit earlier. A number of residences were also built between 1940 and 1969.
Vacant apartments or homes are a major fact of life in Frankfort Ave / Crescent Ct. The current real estate vacancy rate here is 18.0%. This is higher than the rate of vacancies in 81.1% of all U.S. neighborhoods. This can sometimes be the case in neighborhoods dominated by seasonal homes (such as vacation areas), and occasionally it is also found in neighborhoods that are primarily filled with college students, as some apartments could be vacant when school is not in session. But often neighborhoods with vacancy rates this high are places that can be plagued by a protracted vacancy problem. If you live here, you may find that a number of buildings in your neighborhood are actually empty.
