Sky lanterns soar upwards in Pingxi, Taiwan, as part of the Lantern Festival. Believers release sky lanterns as a form of prayer for good luck and blessings. The Lantern Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the first month in the lunar year in the Chinese calendar.

Chinese entertainers perform a traditional dance during the Lantern Festival parade in Yuxian. The festival, which dates back more than 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty, turns China\(***)s cities into seas of lanterns and fireworks.
Visitors view elaborate lanterns during the festival that marks the end to the Chinese lunar New Year celebrations, in Taipei, Taiwan.
People look at the lanterns at Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai, China. It was estimated that more than 3.4 billion trips took place this year, most by bus, train or plane, so that people could be with their families.
Chinese blacksmiths throw molten metal against a cold stone wall to create sparks in Nuanquan, Hebei province. For more than 300 years, the village which is famous for its blacksmith skills, has maintained the tradition, which they considered a cheaper alternative than buying fireworks during the Lantern Festival.

In Beijing, extensive use of fireworks during the festival caused the air quality in the notoriously polluted city to worsen as heavy smog blanketed the sky.
People light candles at Guangren Temple in Xi\(***)an, China. The Chinese Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important holiday in China, and is celebrated in many countries with large Chinese populations.

The inventor of the Frisbee died last week. Walter Frederick Morrison died at the grand old age of ninety at his home in Utah. A Frisbee "historian" Phil Kennedy was quoted as saying that Mr Morrison had originally got the idea when throwing a metal cake pan about on a beach in California. I love the idea that there is such a thing as a Frisbee "historian." How many are there? Just the one or are there hundreds of prestigious universities crammed full of them? How much history is there to document in the world of Frisbee? Admittedly, it's interesting to find out that the Frisbee was invented at the height of UFO fever in the US and so it was originally known as the "Pluto Platter." Then Mr Morrison sold his invention to a company called Wham-O and they changed the name to Frisbee as kids were already calling it this after a well-known pie ... that, surely is about as much history as anybody might need to know about the Frisbee.
Maybe there are differing views as to the exact history of the object? Surely the Ancient Greek use of the discus could be seen as a slightly earlier version of the flying disc? Perhaps there were opposing factions within the world of Frisbee who dispute the salient facts as much as people do those in the Kennedy assassination? I decided to dig a little deeper and, sure enough, uncovered a multitude of different Frisbee historical facts. I simply present them all for your delectation – it is up to a proper Frisbee historian to verify them...
1 Although the Ancient Greeks used a wooden discus in their athletic events, they also had a circular weapon that was used in battle. Known as the Frisbuskion, it was about two feet wide and took three Greeks to hurl at the approaching enemy. Although it did not fly on its own, it could travel up to nine feet if thrown correctly. The enemy would be squashed under the object and then finished off with a spear. This was the origin of the phrase "beware of Greeks bearing discs" that was later bastardised into gifts.
2 In areas of Aquitaine during the Middle Ages arose a curious tradition of patella throwing. The average kneecap, when removed and honed, is the perfect Frisbee shape. Although smaller than the average Frisbee, the locals became highly skilled at using these "frisknees" and a distance record of 122 metres was set in 1422. It has never been broken, possibly because the Pope declared the practice to be "immensely unseemly" and banned it under threat of excommunication.
3Those of you who are James Bond fans will no doubt remember the infamous Oddjob and his razor-edged hat that he used to such great effect. A lot of Frisbee enthusiasts assumed that the idea had come from the Frisbee itself. Not so. Oddjob was supposed to be Korean and the practice of using hats as a weapon is a very ancient one in Korea. The original throwing hat – the chukka – was used by warrior monks in Nothern Korea in the 12th Century. This flat, almost beret-like head cloth had five spikes around the edge. Later on this was developed further into something that resembled a bowler hat. The top was hard and reinforced to be used as a helmet while the spike were retained for throwing purpose. The use of razor-blades on the edge was an idea had by Cubby Broccoli. Sadly, two props men were to lose several fingers while testing the device.
4 In Iraq people used to throw Arab mountain bread for sport. The bread is circular shaped and cooked over a boiling hot metal dome suspended over a fire. When the bread was ready it was whisked off the metal but was too hot to handle and would almost melt onto the skin if held for any length of time. Iraqi bakers, therefore, started the practice of throwing the boiling hot bread from person to person. This quickly developed into a craze and bread-throwing became the one of the most popular pastimes in the country until the early American sanctions after Gulf War I made bread too valuable to chuck about.
5 Walter Morrison was uncle to Doors' singer Jim Morrison and early royalties from the Frisbee paid for the band's first recording sessions.
Long shot?
Surely somewhere, there is a member of the England football team who lives a quiet life with his wife, doesn't go "dogging" at the weekends and drives a Fiat Punto? Now that would really be a story...

LOOKING for: Cobbler recipe for dried shingo pears from Trader J
Shelly2012September 28, 2012
I think these dried Korean Shingo pears from Trader Joe's would make a great cobbler filling. Does anyone have a recipe for using anything like this? I am unsure about how much to use and whether to add sugar, etc. Thank you!!!
I would think you could mix them with berries, but on their own would be too firm and chewy for a cobbler.
I haven't tried this but thought of your post when looking for recipes. Maybe it would work for you?
Here is a link that might be useful: Bread pudding with dried pears

Head of British legion resigns amid lobbying flap
Monday - 10/15/2012, 8:56am EDT
LONDON (AP) - The Royal British Legion said Monday its president has resigned after a newspaper sting in which retired senior officers were recorded appearing to offer lobbying services on behalf of defense companies.
The Sunday Times reported that officers, including former head of the army Gen. Richard Dannatt and the British Legion's Lt. Gen. Sir John Kiszely, had boasted about their access to ministers and senior officials.
The officers deny wrongdoing, and the newspaper didn't suggest they had broken laws. Retired personnel are allowed to work for the private sector two years after leaving the military.
The British Legion, which offers help to service members and their families, said Monday it had received Kiszely's letter of resignation in which he said he had always kept his role as president separate from any business interests.
"I have made it equally clear that I have never breached any Government rules related to lobbying," he said in the resignation letter. "But I made exaggerated and foolish claims to the contrary, incompatible with my position in the Legion."
The legion's director general Chris Simpkins said that after discussing the matter, Kiszely's remarks were "out of character" but that no breach of the organization's code of conduct had occurred.
Simpkins said he had accepted Kiszely's resignation and his successor will be announced shortly.

Kevin's F/A-18 construction
I am more than halfway through with the construction of my EJF F/A-18,
I am getting to the taileron setup part. Does anybody have a picture of how they did it?
I am planning on doing it a bit differently from what the instructions recommend - if can I understand it properly - by using thick piano wire shafts through a brass tube bushing.
Thanks in advance.

herb:i had some that haldor sent me that worked well.unfortunately they got wiped out in a hd crash a few months ago. try e mailing him and he could send them to you...........gregg
i used carbon shafts with piano wire inside for reinforcement,and drilled out larger holes in the fuse sides, filled with epoxy and then drilled the correct size for the carbon shafts.this way the epoxy made a nice bushing surface.
|Sep 13, 2001, 11:26 PM
Here is a pic of my assembly.
|Sep 14, 2001, 02:04 AM
I made the tailerons from 3 mm (1/8") balsa, glued in 3 mm piano wire (epoxy glue of course); bushings were made from brass tubing, inner dia. 3 mm of course. Balsa blocks in the fuselage have been reinforced with 0.8 mm (1/32") plywood on both sides.
|Sep 14, 2001, 03:29 PM
Ill send some pics of mine tonight if I can remember . I dont think mine are as nice as some of these guys like Haldor's , I just used what I had on hand. I used a sandwich of 3/32 balsa squares and criss crossed the grains for bushings. I used some wooden dow rods for the piviot shafts. I used 1/8 ply for the control horns and Z bend piano wire for pushrods. Keeping the slop out of the linkage of course seems to be the main point to avoid any flutter. I am trying to keep mine as light as I can as I am using a brushed race speed 480bb and 8 X Cp1300s, so Im not going to be as fast or heavy as these guys with the brushless 10 cell configs.

Thanks for your info, I eventually found the right Dubro hardware for the linkages...wish it was just included in the kit (Robert ). Here is how
I ended up arranging things </A>, it's a simple compact & lightweight setup and seems to work well. I use twin rugged HS-81MG (metal gear) for the tailerons, no slop with brass bushings. I have setup my linkages in such a way that I can do first a mechanical adjustment of the taileron throws.
There is a Dubro hardware 22-piece package (#101 Aileron linkage) that for $5 with some cutting & adjusting has almost all the linkage parts you need for the F/A-18, you only need to buy the collars & brass tube extra,
I also experienced some warping in the horizontal stab after glassing the stab bottom with water based acrylic - even though I applied the acrylic on both sides at the same time. Oh well I am pressing it straight again now - and doubling the thickness of the tailerons.

herb: i tossed the wood for the tailerons, it seemed pretty flimsy. i susbstituted it with some stiffer balsa...........gregg
|Sep 17, 2001, 07:18 PM
I had to toss mine also. I made new ones out of 3/16 balsa and sanded them to a symetrical airfoil. Just started a new one and think I will use the the balsa with the kit and glass it this time. Anyone ever try ailerons on it? I'm thinking of trying it on this one.

Well it's almost done now - except for some details & paint job. I used some MinWax polyclrylic for finish, with lightweight glass cloth on the fuse underside & tailerons.
The kit is very nice and goes together real easy, and the finished product looks quite sharp too . Will first trim it out maybe w/out powertrain and then paint.
Picture of unfinished F/A-18 here </A>
Setup is MF480, Hacker B40-8L, Kontronic Smile 40A BEC esc & 10 pushed CP1300 cells, 380 Watts ca.
Or about 150 Watts per pound, with a (static) thrust to weight ratio of about 0.80.

herb: it is a very nice kit to build.looks great! with the 1300's it should come in light. hand launch?.
i was tempted at 40oz, but went with the launcher........gregg
|Sep 18, 2001, 09:24 PM
...Whether it will be ultimately hand launchable or not will depend on the power & weight, and therefore on static thrust, watts per pound and wingloading. My target is around 150 Watts/pd.
I am not sure yet what the final weight will end up - since I am not done with the paint & fglass yet, and also don't know yet exactly how many CP1300's I'll use...
Anything with a wingloading of under 30 I think I can handlaunch without too many problems , above that it can be risky & the bungee would be the way to go.
I'm almost done with the paint - no panel lines yet -, the finished weight is around 39 oz, maybe when the paint dries completely it will be less ...

How did you guys attach the canopy? I put a ply tongue on the front of the hatch, but I think it won't work due to the canopy's placement, the canopy get unglued when I pry the hatch open at the back.
...ok here's how </A> I did it. Hope it stays on long enough.

herb: i had the same problem,i used silicone to attach it to the wood and left a small gap at the rear. when i open it i squeeze it from the sides (at the glue joint) and lift it up and slide it back. hasn't come loose yet.
one bunus from the gap at the rear is; in addition i drilled an air outlet in the wood for some venting of the battery heat............gregg
|Sep 22, 2001, 10:48 PM
Wow Herb, Very nice finish. I guess you are planning on a lot of inverted flying.
So the blue bottom won't blend in with the sky.
|Sep 23, 2001, 08:41 PM
That's a sharp looking Bug (nickname for an F/A-18) Herb!
What did you finally use for your decals?

brodyjaws(zone 6)April 15, 2010
Time for a new tractor! I would like to get a tractor for the next 20 years. I found a JD425 13 years old. not sure of the hrs. I think it was in the 500's. asking price is $4500 with plow. also looked at a new x300 with plow for $1000 less. Capabilities aside, which tractor will still be running in 20 years? or whicvh will be cheaper to own and enjoy for the next 20 years.

bakeware turned black!
I just got a new kitchen (dw, conv oven, etc) and now my baking sheets are covered with a gray coating. It rubs off on my hands, but doesn't come off when I scrub it. First question, which appliance caused it? I'm assuming DW, but not sure. Second, how do I get rid of it? Third, what type of bakeware should I buy to avoid it?
I put my aluminum baking sheets in to the dishwasher for years...no damage until I started using this new Cascade Complete...
I won't buy that stuff again...messes up my aluminum pans and causes silver to tarnish.
I don't think it's the dishwasher, but rather the product you are using.
Linda c
Yes, it's the dishwashing detergents, not the action of the DW itself. I wasn't clear on that when I posted. But aluminum will corrode.
Trouble is, most new machines work best with non-phosphate, enzyme-based detergents. But the new detergents aren't good for certain things you put into the DW.

sick ponderosa pine
hi everyone,
we have a cabin in the Kootenay Lake area of British Columbia. We would like to identify the disease affecting our ponderosa pine, and find out if and how it can be salvaged. I have several pictures at the following FLICKR address;
let me know if you can help.
Here is a link that might be useful: ponderosa pine photos
Oooo.....wild stab!
Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)
Regarding the same issue as the OP, I have a mature P. Pine that has consistently become thinner over the last two years. I'm very fearful that I will lose it. Due to it's mature age and proximity to our house it will be impossible to replace. Attached are photo's of it and one near by which the the original used to look like. The only thing different in the area that was done was concreting the drive which used to be gravel. I've increased watering by a deep root system and letting trickle for days at a time and moving the probe several times. I have a water feature underneath which could possibly be "over watering" if it had a small leak. Is there any way to tell if a Ponderosa Pine is "under" or "over" watered?
i had 6 pines of similar size.. that close to the house.. and i paid to have them cut down.. the winter after a horrible ice storm.. took the top 7 feet off ...
dont be fearful of losing it.. just get rid of it ...
its a FOREST tree.. planted too close to the house.. and serves no real landscape reason ....
and i always suggest you start your own post ... so replies can be sent to your mail ... instead of the original posters ...
I'd suspect a lot of it will remain grass / herbs for a long time; once established, they will competitively exclude conifer seedlings for a long time. Some Douglas-fir and Aspen might come in at higher elevations, but a lot of the ex-pine area is probably too low / dry for them, or for Engelmann Spruce or firs either.
Who says forest trees don't have use in the landscape? I prefer the dense forest look. Give me the choice of a mature beech-maple forest, and a manicured landscape, and I'll choose the forest.
Heh Jimbob, Ken says that! In my world, there's room for both. Hard to go wrong with beech-maple though. A portion of my job is a sort of restoration ecology. I think of it as ecological forensics, in that when "restoring" a piece of land, I will often add those elements that would have once been there but which have since disappeared for some reason. So right now, we're doing a stream restoration in a deep, wooded ravine. Trees range from basswoods to cottonwoods to oaks to sugar maples to black cherries to, uh, white ash to red elm to butternut. Under my direction, we will be adding in some beech, hemlock, and probably a few other things I'm forgetting! Fun stuff.
But no, I don't think there's anything wrong at all with a large pine in a yard somewhere!

Miami Manager Martinez expected to return to work after minor stroke, mayor says
Miami City Manager Johnny Martinez, who suffered a minor stroke Saturday evening, is expected to be released from Jackson Memorial Hospital late Monday or early Tuesday and return to work by the end of the week, Mayor Tomas Regalado said Monday.
Martinez, 61, hospitalized late Saturday, was joking around Sunday evening pushing for his release, said the mayor.
"Yesterday he was up and walking and talking," said Regalado.
Martinez landed the city manager post almost two years ago after the sudden resignation of Tony Crapp Jr., who refused to fire the city's police chief while he was involved in a lengthy tussle with Regalado over several inner city shootings and an ordinance regulating electronic gambling devices. Martinez eventually fired then-Chief Miguel Exposito for insubordination.
When he returns, Martinez will continue to oversee the city's more than 3,000 employees and one dozen department heads.

The Bus Ride Across Baltra Island, Don't Blink And Miss It!
The bus ride across Baltra Island is not very long. It could have been easy to forget to take in the scenery with all the commotion of getting settled on the bus, absorbing that we were actually on the Galapagos islands, and getting to know the other travelers. I'm glad we didn't.
When we landed on Baltra Island we had a short wait at the Baltra airport before taking the but across the island. While we waited we did a little shopping at the gift stores and then climbed on the bus with everybody else. The staff members from Red Mangrove greeted us, showed us which bus to get on and loaded the luggage for us.

The Scenery Of Baltra Island
The scenery of Baltra Island is scrubby, lots of dry grass and low lying bushes. It doesn't sound very pretty but we are used to lusher surroundings so it was interesting to see such a different landscape. In among the dry grass we caught glimpses of reddish volcanic rock. It was the first time I had seen volcanic rock so I was really taken with it, trying to snap pictures as the bus whizzed by.
Out the left side of the bus we saw the Pacific Ocean. The sun was shining so the water was a gorgeous blue making a beautiful contrast with the dry scrubby landscape of Baltra. We could also see some of the other islands which heightened our eagerness to get out there and explore them.
My Favorite Part Of The Ride
I think my favorite part of the ride across Baltra was at the very end where the road winds down toward the water. On one side we could see the Itabaca channel, and on the other a cliff of reddish volcanic rock. I was really taken with the cliff side. The volcanic rock was peppered with bright green cacti and brownish-grey gnarled looking trees, so different from anything I had ever seen before. We were even greeted by a land iguana, a rare sighting!
We lingered for a while, taking pictures of the cliff, the water and the iguana. The pictures we have from the ride across Baltra really help trigger the memories of how we felt when we got our first glimpses of the Galapagos. I'm glad we didn't miss that!

I would love to hear about the history of the US base on Baltra. Their are several small buildings and remnants from World war II.

We had a bus ride in 1993 across Santa Cruz (up and over the island) back towards Baltra at the end of our land based trip. The bus hurtled down the hill towards the tiny jetty sticking out into the crystal clear waters. As it did, the bus got quicker and quicker and quicker,…. slowly, we came to realise that something was up, and as we approached the jetty, without saying a word to anybody, the driver of the bus veered the bus sharply to the left into the undergrowth,…. which amazingly and thankfully stopped the bus just in the nick of time. Later we found out that as we suddenly became aware, the brakes had failed at the top of the hill. What's the first thing I did? Jumped out of the bus and took a photo….(Didn't half get an ear bending though from my new wife – we were on our honeymoon!)

The Celtics will probably NOT make the playoffs and that is fine with me. They will probably NOT win tonight.
We have too many games against teams fighting for the playoffs (or playoff position).

Just flat. Amazing how this team has everything in front of them and they lay a first half egg like this.

For the life of me, I cannot understand Kelly's mentality. When you look at Gigi and Jerebko, I see guys who are out there looking to make something happen. They're not forcing things but they are t more »

Wow, that has to be the first layup I've seen Smart convert since forever. Why can't he do more of that?more »
Posted 03/08/2015 07:07:11 EDT
Smart needs to stop shooting so many 3-pointers. He's taking them when ball movement should be the play. Even Scal was confused by his last 3-point attempt (short of criticizing him). And what's the more »

Sully has all the tools to be a major contributor and he'll want to be paid as such when his rookie contract is up. Even though he can't stay on the court, he'll want to get paid. We have to ask ours more »

Brandon Bass is the hardest working Celtic. There has to be someone on the team that leads by example, by his work ethic, but being on the court every night giving it his all. We don't have that out more »

This is some terrible basketball. I cannot believe this is the NBA. This is UGLY.
We scored 41 points in the 2nd quarter but only 30 so far in the 3rd and 4th quarters combined.more »

How many elite NBA players can you look at in the mold of Sullinger? Zach Randolph comes to mind but outside of him, I can't think of anyone. Maybe it's just me, but Randolph doesn't seem to "look f more »

BCSP, I think you're right. I'm sure we've been monitoring it but maybe not as well as we should have. I think you can draw a link between his weight and a stress fracture in the foot. It's a shame b more »

The Celtics should waive Jae Crowder now. This guy is horrible. He can't shoot, he can't pass. As a matter of fact, nobody on this team can pass the ball accurately. I have never been sold on this more »

I think the Celtics buy out Prince and Thornton so they can join a contender. I also think the Celtics hold on to Bass. I think the Celtics place more value on their assets than they are really worth more »

The Hawks took their collective foot off the gas and the Celtics stole a win last night. This was supposed to be a lock in the "Loss" column. Oh well. I've been preaching about some of the challenge more »

Oh, Sully will be an All Star when Pau Gasol retires and Kevin Love, Paul Milsap and Greg Monroe all leave the eastern conference? That not to distant future. That is if no other stud PFs end up in t more »

prakash, I sure hope you're right. Time will tell.more »

In response to prakash's comment: Petey, please check Paul Milsap's stats. While I agree that Sullinger is a stud down low, he will become that much more effective with more confident 3-pt shooting. more »
Posted 02/10/2015 06:56:29 EST
cole-ely, Sully is shooting 28.7% from 3-point range, up from 26.9 from a year ago. I honestly cannot see that drastic of an improvement in his 3-point shooting that you predict. That big a jump is more »

Fierce, you make some very good points but wasn't AB, offensively, a slasher and cutter to the hoop during his early years. He just stopped because he got too scared that he'd get injured. He couldn more »

Fierce, nobody said Brad Stevens should be fired. As a matter of fact, go back and look at my previous posts. I said it's too early to determine if he's a good coach or not. It's too early. I hear more »

There are players starting on every not-so-good team who would not be starters on playoff teams. I'm not sure what your point is with that statement. However, the Celtics top 10 players would all be more »

Fierce, so you disagree that the Celtics have more talent across the board than many of the teams with fewer wins than the Celtics? That's why we have more wins - because across the board, we have mo more »

I'd like to revisit Fierce's initial statement/premise. I agree that it's too early to judge if BS is a good coach or not but I don't believe that BS is winning more games with less talent compared to more »

Brad Stevens is doing just about what most people thought he'd be doing. The Amar'e Stoudmire of 2011 is better than what we have at PF right now. What does THAT have to do with anything? I STILL wou more »

Acie, although your point is "spot on", I consider Whiteside an outlier. I honestly cannot remember a story like his - someone coming into the NBA essentially off the street and setting it on fire th more »

I have the below code which fires the GeoCoordinateWatcher PositionChanged event for every 0.5 meteres .It might be less.But thats my requirement.
The issue is when i am walking with phone the code doesnt fire the event at every 0.5 meters instead it fires the event after 0.5 meters randomly.And sometimes when i move fast it fires few events one after another immediately.
Can anybody help me with how to ensure it fires the positionchanged event for every 0.5 meters accurately .
watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.Default);
if (watcher.Permission == GeoPositionPermission.Granted)
watcher.MovementThreshold = 0.5;//in meters
watcher.PositionChanged += new EventHandler<GeoPositionChangedEventArgs<GeoCoordinate>>(watcher_PositionChanged); // PositionChanged events occur whenever your position changes
watcher.StatusChanged += new EventHandler<GeoPositionStatusChangedEventArgs>(watcher_OnStatusChanged);
