First Day of School
We were out the door bright and early on Monday morning, but I managed to take a couple extra minutes to snap some photos of the kids. Norah wanted to tell us she is "TWO!"
Jude was unbelievably excited about his new backpack (Star Wars!) but also pretty nervous about school, I think. He was a mess of tears the night before about little things completely unrelated to school. Then as we pulled in the parking lot on Monday, he said, "Mama, why does my tummy hurt?" Apparently he is old enough to get nervous and unlucky enough to inherit mom's intense brain-tummy connection. It's enough to make your heart sting when you hear fear in their little voices.
But the second we walked in the class, he ran to play side-by-side at the blocks table with a friend he's been missing this summer. And as I picked them up on Monday, he said it was a "super fun day, Mom!"
It always feels good to see your kids do scary things or hard tasks and come out feeling proud of their work and ready for the next day. Here's to a great school year and the thrill of new experiences!
summer discoveries
We're enjoying our last few days of summer here, but I always feel a little guilty about the things that didn't get done. As a teacher, I tend to make a big long list of goals and projects when I see those weeks stretched before me and it seems like we have so much time off. But then the days fly by, and though I've managed to get a lot done, there are inevitably things that didn't happen.
I'm focusing on what my friend calls the "ta-da list" instead of the to-do list though. In hindsight, I managed to accomplish a lot – especially with two little kids underfoot. I did some fun things with the family — we picked strawberries, spent a day at the science museum, explored the farmer's market a few times, and of course ventured to Mexico for a little trip. I read a good bit – for my current season of life at least. An unlikely favorite was this non-fiction work I read. I also loved Elizabeth Gilbert's The Signature of All Things as a stand-out read of the summer. I had a great anniversary date with Scott and a few just-because dates. I hung out with girlfriends and nurtured friendships with a few outings and dinner clubs.
I've also been reading a lot about health and nutrition a lot these days as a new interest of mine. I always hated science in school, biology included. But sometimes I wish I could go back and see those classes with a different perspective now that I've gained an interest in childbirth and pediatrics and nutrition and food. I heard a fascinating interview on NPR last weekend that made me want to buy the book and read more about the value of particular foods, so I downloaded it on my Kindle last night and have just begun reading it. It's interesting for me to consider how my eating habits have changed over the last few years and how it all happens in little steps. But now that we are past the purge of processed food and such, I am reading and exploring about the more specific aspects of nutrition and especially those foods that fight cancer, inflammation, and chronic diseases.
On that note, I've been learning a lot more about gut health and it's role in our immune systems, and at the encouragement of a friend, I started brewing my own water kefir which is not nearly as gross or complicated as it probably sounds. One shot-sized portion is equal to something like 30 probiotic pills, and my kids are starting to request it by name. Anything I can do to combat the germs of the school year is a must for me. We spent so much time last winter sick, and I am really hoping for better results this year as it's their second year in full-time school and I've added a few immune-boosting routines for us.
My other big discovery this summer has been playing around with essential oils. I ordered a kit and became addicted to a lavender-cedarwood mix at night to enhance sleep. There are also some pretty convincing studies out there connecting Thieves oil with immunity, so I'm willing to give that one a try during this school year as well. It's been a fun endeavor to experiment with different scents and combinations.
We head back to school on Monday, and I'm feeling rested and ready. It's been such a good summer, and like every other occasion lately, it slipped through my fingers so quickly. I'm working hard to savor the months ahead in the fall and remember that even the bumpy transition of August can have its fun excitement. I'm hoping to get in an evening swim, a donut date, and some back porch sippin' this weekend as we count down to a new year. Cheers, summer 2014. You were a good one.
wrapping it all up
It's been about two weeks since I last posted here. We have eleven days of summer break left. (But who's counting?) Next week will be a combination of trying to squeeze out the last little bits of it and tackling a few tasks and appointments that meandered their way on my schedule without asking me first.
I have very mixed feelings about waving goodbye to summer. As I type this, I just got Norah down for a nap, Jude is happily stringing beads I got for $7 at Wal-Mart recently which predictably scattered all over my hardwood floors, and my house is embarrassingly cluttered and messy in every single corner. Working outside the home has its challenges, and I will miss leisurely mornings and lazy time with my kids. But I also see them (especially Jude as the older one) craving social time and focused activity, and I am ready for our schedule again.
You know summer has run its course when you somewhat look forward to packed lunches again. (In two months I won't believe I ever said that!) I'm consuming far too much coffee because it's here for the taking, and staring blankly at the fridge at lunch time seems like a luxury at first, but it never results in something good when you have two kids underfoot and 90 seconds to put something together. Planning and routine and consistency and all of that practical stuff does hold a little comfort. And as much as I hate the shock of August, I love the months to come. September's change of seasons is always welcome.
We've had so much fun this summer though. A few memories I'm sharing here from the month of July so that I don't forget them…..
Making mud pies and lots of backyard play time.
An infected bug bite that landed us in the ER because apparently cellulitis can escalate quickly! A ridiculously strong antibiotic for ten days, and all is fine now. It made for an memorable, if exhausting, evening for Jude and me.
Afternoon naps in the oasis of air conditioning. There's nothing like July in the deep south.
The science museum in a superhero cape.
And far too many mornings spent at the donut shop!
I have so many other things I want to share, and I hope to write more soon. Enjoy the last bits of summer, wherever it finds you!
Sunflowers. And growing pains.
We heard about a local sunflower farm that is only a few minutes from our house and decided to check it out last weekend.
I am trying to be conscious about being more present with my kids, in the truest sense – meaning not taking photos of everything all the time. It's so easy to get caught-up in social media and taking photos when we have these little devices in our pockets all day and such cute little subjects. Sunday was an exception though in that the entire reason we went was simply to take photos of the kids and explore a local find. Jude picked out his own clothes that morning, so I just went with it and told him I'd put sister in blue to match.
So we get there, and there were gorgeous fields of tall sunflowers as far as you could see. And barns and fences and old shady trees and every perfect photo spot you could imagine.
But after three whole minutes of trying to snap a photo or two, Jude decided he would refuse to participate. And no amount of bribing or threatening or asking nicely or encouraging could work to convince him otherwise. So it might look picturesque, but here is the other [whole] story.
It's such a hard balance as a parent – deciding what hill you choose to die on, so to speak. What battles to pick. Like do I really care all that much that he refuses to take photos when I ask him lately? Or that he tells me "no, I don't feel like it" when I ask him to hug grandparents goodbye as they leave? Or that he has suddenly decided that every command and request on my part is a signal for refusal and negotiation? The answer is yes and no. It depends on what trait we're talking about and what day you ask me. Sometimes it feels like an important battle worth fighting. Sometimes it doesn't.
I read this great little essay last week, and number two really struck a chord with me. I can see characteristics emerging in my two already. Norah is incredibly shy in larger groups of people, and she has to warm up to new situations. There is no amount of urging or expecting or being pushy that changes this, in fact those actions usually lead to worse behavior. With Jude, I know that he doesn't like taking photos, he has an abundance of physical energy and curiosity, he could not care less what other kids are doing, and he behaves best when his hands and brain are busy. Is it a better idea for everyone involved to just accept these things and move on and focus on what he enjoys? Or should I start trying, as he grows and emerges to school-age expectations of behavior, to slowly encourage a change in some of these things to adapt to social norms? These are rhetorical questions that I don't necessarily expect an answer to, but I'm just thinking out loud as I do so often in this space.
I know many of you are tackling similar issues as moms. It's such a tightrope we walk all the time, it seems. A delicate balance as we try to encourage the best qualities in our kids and help them progress and understand social expectations, but also offer a message of unconditional acceptance. There aren't any easy answers.
This summer has been a little rough for him….An entire academic year of 8:30-3:30 friends and activities, and now we are home everyday. Plus he's understanding so much more about the world around him and gaining emotional intelligence, so to speak. It leads to some growing pains, I think. I ran across this quote on Pinterest recently.
I'm trying my hardest to back off and let him bloom in his own way – with just a little gentle guidance. It's harder some days than others.
Whole Wheat Blueberry Biscuits
I've been baking a little this summer, but not too much. It's hot outside, and the last thing I want to do is stand in the kitchen baking bread when there is so much great produce everywhere you look. I got a huge crate of blueberries from Costco though, and this recipe was calling my name.
My grandmother used to always make blueberry biscuits for my cousins and me when we were kids. Hers are white and fluffy and more delicious than I can describe. As I've become used to whole grain breads, my tastes have changed, and I don't crave white flour anymore (with the exception of tomato sandwiches which are an excuseable sin on whole wheat bread). If I'm being honest, my grandmother's blueberry biscuits are better in that light and fluffy way, but my whole wheat remodel of this old recipe came out pretty good in a different fashion. They are filling and delicious, and my favorite thing about milling my own wheat is that it has a real taste – not just fluff. Store-bought whole wheat flour can't quite match it, but they will still be good.
We've made these twice in the last week, so I'm writing the recipe here for me to come back to … and to share with you, too!
Whole Wheat Blueberry Biscuits
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (freshly milled if you can)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter (half a stick)
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon sugar
Sprinkle sugar over the blueberries, and let them sit. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Use a box grater to grate the butter into the flour, and then lightly stir so that it is crumbly. Gradually add the milk, and then add the blueberries. Stir lightly.
Roll out onto a clean, floured surface – trying not to squish the berries. Cut biscuits with a glass and arrange in a pan.
Bake at 475 degrees for about 15 minutes if they are closely arranged like the photo above. Cook for only 10 minutes if they are spread out on a cookie sheet.
**If you really want to top these with something even better, mix 1/4 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk to create a glaze for the top. Enjoy.
Fourth of July Fun
We had such a great holiday.
There are many years when Georgia is simply too hot to get much enjoyment out of celebrating Independence Day. But this year the high hardly reached 80, and the evenings have been cool and comfortable. We celebrated at the local fairgrounds with A LOT of other people. Our town had food, fireworks, and live music on the evening of the third, and it was a great kick-off to a long weekend.
The kids snacked on ice cream, and Jude was excited to get a plastic lightsaber from one of the vendors there. Norah was not so sure about fireworks, but there were no terrified tears which I call a success at the age of two.
We followed up the next night with some backyard ribs. (We are LOVING our Big Green Egg this summer!) Add on a few sparklers, some good friends who joined us for dinner, and a neighborhood fireworks show, and it was a perfect holiday.
Every holiday in this neighborhood turns into a block party, and I love it. Parents had lawn chairs set up in front yards, plates of homemade cookies were passed around, and introductions were made while kids screamed and played. This is the perfect holiday for celebrating freedom and a sense of real community, and we definitely felt that this year. I am so happy to be in a place with loads of other young families, and shared holidays remind me what a gift it is for my kids to grow up here. I feel so lucky we landed in this place.
Happy Independence Day! I hope you are enjoying your long weekend with some summer fun.
life lately – a quick post
Excuse this scattered post as I update quickly…. How is it July? Our first full month of summer is behind us, and we are more or less at the halfway point. Lots of fun things and simple pleasures filling our time lately….
I had dinner with some close friends the other night. They are former colleagues of mine – people I miss dearly and wish I could see more often. We had penciled this 7pm Tuesday dinner on the calendar weeks ago, and then the day before, my mother-in-law called wanting to spend time with the kids. So I dropped Jude and Norah off at her place at 4:00 in the afternoon and had three full hours to "waste" before dinner. They were not wasted at all as I ran an errand or two and sat at Starbucks for a full hour reading the novel I am slowly making my way through. It's amazing how much a few hours of alone time can affect my sanity.
Following my introvert time, we met up at our favorite sushi spot and had a leisurely dinner. As we left with the usual hugs and promises to get together more often, we also realized the Persian grocery next door was still open. Since we had our resident expert and Farsi interpreter with us (Thanks, Samira!), we decided to meander a bit and take home some goodies.
So Persian tea and cookies have been my afternoon snack break these past few days. So much joy in little pleasures.
….Norah's little pleasure this week was flipping her carseat around now that we've passed her second birthday. She now has to loudly narrate all the scenery as we drive. "Cow!" "Grass!" "Store!" "Big truck!" It's is a weird feeling for me to drive down the road with two passengers I can see in my rearview mirror, but I love it.
Other than a few little outings here and there, we are mostly enjoying the lazy pace of summer and gearing up for some Fourth of July celebrations. I realized this morning that today marks one year in this house, and it feels like home for sure. Big changes are scary sometimes, but I am so glad we made the move. Our town is hosting a big celebration with fireworks tonight, and then tomorrow we are planning to have friends over, grill out, and celebrate with some sparklers. Happy Fourth! Summer is in full swing.

Olympics History >> Helsinki 1952 >> Quick hits
Helsinki 1952 - Quick hits
- Sweet revenge
Finnish legend, Paavo Nurmi had the honour of running into the arena with the Olympic torch. Banned by the IOC on the eve of the Games in Los Angeles 20 years earlier (for accusations of professionalism), Nurmi made a triumphant return to the stage on which he made his name as one of the all-time greats of long-distance running.
- Longevity
Finnish gymnast, Heikki Savolainen who recited the Olympic oath won a bronze medal in the team event - 24 years after his first medal, a bronze in the pommel horse in Amsterdam in 1928. In 1932 and 1936, he won five other medals - one silver and four bronze.
- Sky-high
Humourous American minister Bob Richards, who won the pole vault title, was quick to remark: "I am the only priest in the world who is using his own means to get to heaven".
- Boxing controversy
The heavyweight boxing final was reduced to a farce. Sweden's Ingemar Johansson who was in the process of taking a beating from American Edward Sanders, opted to run around the ring in order to avoid his opponent. He was disqualified for his antics and stripped of the silver medal. Johansson went on to become world champion in 1959 and was finally awarded his medal 30 years later.
- Return
Germany were not invited to the London Games in 1948 following World War II but did return in Helsinki. Although they officially appeared as a unified nation, nearly all their athletes were from West Germany.
- Celebration
The father of Frenchman Jean Boiteux who won gold the 400m freestyle was so overjoyed by his son's achievement he threw himself fully dressed into the pool following the race to celebrate the historic occasion.
- Peaceful attempt
During the opening ceremony, efforts on the part of young German athlete, Barbara Rotbraut-Pleyer, to reach the podium to read a message of peace, were thwarted by the Finnish IOC member Eric von Frenckell.

Worry - it's something that can plague decisions, inner thoughts, and undermine self-confidence. Worry can keep you awake at night, decrease your focus, lead you to second guess yourself, or a host of other problems. Take a deep breath and remind yourself of the progress you've made about the things that concern or frustrate you. As you exhale, try to imagine your breath carrying all your worries with it. Repeat and relax!
"Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are." —Chinese Proverb
Benefits One Group Integrated Network, Inc. (BEGIN), created by one of the founders
of the CAM PPO of America, is a credentialed national alternative medicine network
of providers. The expanded scope of BEGIN allows for the integration of wellness
programs and services to enhance our integrated approach to workplace health which
offers employers additional options.
BEGIN works with companies interested in offering complementary and alternative
medicine (CAM) benefit options, wellness incentives, and integrated health and wellness
education to employees. BEGIN maintains an exclusive focus on building a comprehensive,
holistic medicine network, ensuring that employees have access to qualified CAM
practitioners, while being provided with the support and education required to positively
impact an individual's health. BEGIN is intended to guide and encourage CAM
use to promote overall health and wellness in the workplace for employers of any
size in any location throughout the country.
BEGIN can be the face of your wellness initiative, providing health coaching, on-line
and on-site presentations, access to integrative health practitioners and services,
news, resources, and education, as well as lend its services to existing or branded
employer efforts already in place.
Seven years ago, the founders of AdvoCare Group, a family of companies that provides
comprehensive solutions to workplace injury and absence, responded to a major corporate
request to build a network of CAM providers for its employees as part of their medical
benefits package. With enthusiasm and the sole willingness to embark on this uncharted
territory, AdvoCare Group developed and engineered a credentialed network that now
includes 2500+ CAM providers throughout the country.
AdvoCare Group has been an innovator and leader in its comprehensive approach to
workplace injury, disease, disability and absence management. Its founders, clinical
and administrative professionals with backgrounds in nursing, vocational rehabilitation,
and workers' compensation developed the family of companies through a core
belief in an integrated approach to workplace health and wellness solutions —
all of which lead to health care cost containment, increased productivity, and employee
engagement. This very model is the foundation of the successful journey that has
led to BEGIN.
BEGIN is an enhanced, comprehensive approach to health through access to alternative
medicine therapies integrated with conventional medical practices. BEGIN is the
culmination of an extensive credentialed network, national access to a diverse range
of services, education, and now, a wellness offering that expands the value of a
truly integrated approach to workforce health.
Our mission at Benefits One Group Integrated Network is to provide a comprehensive
and dynamic complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) network. We aim to establish
parameters that ensure the best possible quality control and care to patients while
providing ongoing oversight of credentialing standards to maintain compliance with
practice criteria.
Our vision is to endow individual empowerment through expanded choices for complementary
and alternative medical care. We identify and credential the most qualified CAM
practitioners and make their services available at an affordable cost to patients.
Learn more about AdvoCare Group here:
All panel members of BEGIN have fulfilled the credentialing requirements of BEGIN
or an active organization (PPO) similar to BEGIN. Since it is most difficult to
substantiate the information on a DAILY basis, BEGIN RECOMMENDS THAT PATIENTS (BY
BEGIN cannot accept liability for licensing terminations or insurance defaults that
may not have been reported.

Dean Falk
|Dean Falk
Falk in June 2009
|June 25, 1944 (age 70)
|Alma mater
|University of Michigan
|Florida State University
Dean Falk (born June 25, 1944) is an American academic anthropologist who specializes in the evolution of the brain and cognition in higher primates. She is a Professor of Anthropology at Florida State University.
As an undergraduate, Falk studied mathematics and anthropology. Since receiving her PhD from the University of Michigan in 1976, she has taught courses in anatomy, neuroanatomy, and anthropology. Falk is interested in the evolution of the brain and cognition. She formulated the "radiator theory" that cranial blood vessels were important for hominin brain evolution, and the "putting the baby down" hypothesis that prehistoric mothers and infants facilitated the emergence of language.
In 2013, Falk and colleagues thoroughly described the cerebral cortex of Albert Einstein from recently emerged photographs of his whole brain.
Homo floresiensis[edit]
After the skeletal remains of an 18,000-year-old, "Hobbit"-sized human were discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003 they were identified as a new species labelled Homo floresiensis ("Hobbit"). Some scientists thought that the specimen must have been a pygmy or a microcephalic — a human with an abnormally small skull. Falk undertook a study in 2005 which supported the claim that the find represented a new species.
Falk's 2005 study was criticised by other experts.[1] In response, in 2007, with an international team of experts, Falk created detailed maps of imprints left on the ancient hominid's braincase (endocasts) and concluded that the Hobbit was actually a new species closely related to Homo erectus. Falk's team have repeatedly asserted that their findings confirm that the species cataloged as LB1, Homo floresiensis, is definitely not a human born with microcephalia — a somewhat rare pathological condition that still occurs today.

Think Nutrient Deficiencies are History in US? Think Again
Nutrient deficiencies are often thought of as a thing of the past. You often hear that Americans are quite well nourished, despite the fact that inadequate intake of nutrients like vitamin D from the diet is nearly ubiquitous in America today. In 2012, the CDC released figures demonstrating the prevalence of individual deficiencies based on nationally representative biochemical assessment data from the latest round of NHANES showing that, contrary to popular belief, deficiencies are very much present in the modern day United States.

I'm still trying to understand the fleet change. I've re-read that section a half-dozen times now. So let me see if I get this straight:
Because Caspian Division was run by a douchebag, you're going to COMPLETELY PARALYZE a large fleet that has to boot a fleet admiral? NO ONE can be promoted or kicked for TWO WEEKS?
And what happens if the leader being booted has a friend... or an alt character at the same rank? You're going to stick a large fleet into a perpetual kick/rescue griefing loop?
Also, why the heck can't we sort a fleet roster by @name? Actually, why is the fleet roster so terrible? Seriously- when you select a name and click on the promote/demote/kick buttons, it just applies that to a random person whose name was not selected. We have to use the right-click context menu only now, the buttons are completely unsafe. And it's always a fun guessing game to see if it actually saves changes to an officer note.

We've seen the new Fit in Mugen trim, and we've seen the Vezel crossover that shares its platform in Mugen trim too. But those aren't the only vehicles Honda is selling around the world based on that platform. Now the third has popped up with the Mugen treatment, too.

Model and tele-show host Gauhar Khan calls herself a "weight training fanatic"
Backstage, at the launch of a new range of products by Swedish cosmetics major Oriflame, the air is hot and models scurry about in preparation for the highlight of the evening — a fashion show showcasing the range.
In a quieter corner a marked door reads 'Gauhar Khan'. Inside, the showstopper for the evening, decked in a Dolly J ensemble, sits down to talk about how she keeps in enviable shape.
Tied intrinsically to fitness is food and in Gauhar's case nothing is off the table, she underlines. "I love everything that nature has to offer and I'm not finicky at all; I don't deprive myself of anything good. If I need to have pastries once in a while I enjoy them." She manages this approach because her body "reacts to happiness" and working out gives her results that she seeks. It also allows her to freely eat whatever she desires.
Gauhar says she relies on working out in the gym to keep fit and considers herself a "weight training fanatic". She does not consider herself a "yoga or meditation kind of person" and instead loves to "sweat it out in the gym". She follows this regimen everyday as long as there isn't some thing else tying her up.
Peace of mind, Gauhar believes, is essentially linked to the natural surroundings that one is surrounded by. She says, "It depends on how much nature I see around myself. When I am in Delhi I feel beautiful because there is a lot of greenery here, it's well maintained and that makes me feel beautiful."
She hopes and prays that "we live in a much cleaner environment which sadly we're not," and feels "angry about educated people driving about and chucking things out of their cars."
Beauty and well being, she opines, are a reflection of the inner self. "You need to look beautiful at whatever rank you see yourself but if you don't feel beautiful inside it doesn't show on your face."
Between beauty and fitness, Gauhar believes that fitness is more important and "you need to be healthy whatever size you are. If you are a heavy weight lifter, even being a size 12 is not a bad thing." "I am US size 4," she reveals, "and I am absolutely fine with that. I love the way I feel."

Reduce Diana's Q damage and mana cost. Also make it's cooldown scale off like yasuo, so she can constantly use it. So then she can constantly do something in a teamfight bouncing around. This way the person playing Diana has to decide to R again right after they did it or wait for cooldown on her Q. Other then that I would love Diana to stay the same as she is, I enjoy her to the fullest of her kit because it's so unique and she's underplayed.
Junior Member
I don't normally post on the forums, I just come here to read and learn. In my years of playing, I've made fewer posts than some who made accounts this morning. That aside, I have a suggestion based on what I was reading. What if instead of a powerful shield, she had an attack speed buff? I'm far too tired to offer numerical suggestions, but it would promote the use of her passive(and that cool moonblade), and it wouldn't kill her damage potential.
As for the impact of not having the shield, I'm unsure. If it causes her to be too weak, perhaps a slight buff to base hp(don't take me seriously if that's not a good idea, I've been awake for way too long).
Anyhow, I'm unlikely to see any further responses to this thread for the same reasons that I rarely post, but maybe this can spark an idea for something viable and I'll get to see a more cohesive Diana in the future. I've always been a fan of ALL champions in league(yea even Teemo, despite my hatred of playing against him), and I'd love to offer constructive input that leads to the silencing of the players who say things like "Sion is garbage, he should be removed". Let's face it, playing as Zombie Arnold is fun no matter how vanilla it feels.
Change the E with the R can turn her and make an kit more oriented to the "assasain" role can fix her identity problems.
My main is Diana. Much like the OP, when I first discovered her, I fell in love with her lore, her kit and pretty much everything about her visually. She is the embodiment of the misunderstood and underdog. Those who take a different path in life (religiously or anything else) and get persecuted for it when they've done thing wrong.
She fights for what she believes in and is pegged a heretic for it.
Now, on to her kit. I think she makes a better fighter rather than Assassin. I never had a hard time landing my Q and getting my ult right off. If you have good enough timing and played her as long as I have, you will know that if you know the distance her Q travels and speed, you can cast Q and immediately use your R during Q's travel. By the time Q hits you will be on top of your enemy and threatening to end them with Pale Cascade and prevent them fleeing with Moonfall. Since it gives a slow, by the time they do get a way you can land another Q and ult again (or just ult them again and scarfice 20 seconds for a cooldown on your ult).
I do agree, she is having an identity crisis. Most people don't think she can go mid lane but she can (just like other champions, you need to know how to deal with them with her kit). If you guys make changes to her, make her a fighter. She does that better than assasin since Pale Cascade is something a figher would have. It has a lot of strength behind it and is one of her most deadliest aspects.
One other major issue is once she goes all in, you can only HOPE you have enough AP to kill them. If you don't then she will more than likely be ate up without any means of escape. Unless you are clever and can single out someone weaker on the enemy team and use your R to dash to them and escape that way. But that is really unreliable. So either hope you can kill or tank their damage and make it out alive, or hope your team follows up.
So my method to playing Diana in mid is to Max Q first and poke during that time and farm safely near your tower. Her passive helps you clear good waves quickly along with W. Once you hit 6, start ramping up your poking to widdle down your enemy and W to start going in closer. They will regret taking you full on when you ult on top of them with your W and keep them in place with E.
I really do like Diana's kit and I see Riot is changing a lot of champions kit's lately and I don't want her's to lose what makes her unique. It fits in with her personality and somewhat with her lore of being a crusader of her beliefs and directly challenging anyone who questions her otherwise.
(I was disappointed with Karma's kit change and I will be really devastate with Diana gets a complete overhaul.)
I think she just received a small change, its on pbe but I need a pbe tester to confirm if it actually unstealth champs like akali now
lxl RockBall lxl
Nice buff but I'll read a threat where they think that switch her E with R obvious is a tentative idea but can work.
Holy ****, I completely forgot Diana exists!!!! LOL I haven't seen her in ages. I guess its just another example of poor Rito balancing.
figther or assasain what is the actual identity of Diana??? I'll feel a identity crisis in her.
Not really sure why there's so much duress about Diana. She's in an okay spot, although she doesn't have great fallback patterns if she's behind. For some reason I perform better in Twisted Treeline than Summoner's Rift, but I do think she is still viable.
I build semi-tanky, usually with a Frozen Heart for CDR and mana, and I often grab a Sunfire Cape as well, depending on the game. My favorite build on TT involves Wooglets, Iceborn, Seraph's, Frozen Heart, Abyssal, and Merc's. She has a TON of armor with this build, a bit of MR to mitigate AP burst, and a surprisingly high amount of AP with all the mana + Seraph's. It takes a while to ramp up, so I generally go double dorans + armguard's + sheen, which is affordable early, and still allows for solid damage. I want to poke in fights before committing, but then I jump in there, slow the enemies down with E + IceBorn, and always save my final R charge for either an escape, or an execute if they're getting away.
I've seen recommendations for switching her E & R. Not sure if that would be a great fix, since I think 6 should represent a power spike. I'm all for a rework which emphasizes better gameplay when behind, while minimizing the terror that is super-fed full AP Diana, but I don't know if it's as high a priority as many other champions.

Modern A-Line Cashmere Sweater 16 16
New Go To Sweater Oh, this sweater is perfect. I love the length--just above mid-hip. I'm very busty--5' 3" 138 lbs 34 DD and the fit is loose enough to look very natural. The weight of the cashmere is nice, not sheer. I ordered the teal and then the matching plaid shirt for underneath, rolled up the sleeves, and paired with skinny jeans. Perfect! February 27, 2015
Flattering and fun sweater I ordered a teal when it went on sale; in a medium (am 5.2 and 138 lbs). It fits well through the chest then slightly flares out over the hips, slightly longer in the back. so flattering! I ordered 2 more for me and 4 for gifts! February 25, 2015
Not a good fit for me I'm a size 16, usually XL, and 5'4" tall. I ordered this in XL in the cobalt stripe. It was on backorder and just arrived. The fit is awful on me. The sleeves are huge, they are floppy and are 3/4 length on me. I can't tell from the model if they are supposed to be loose on her or tight, they look tight on her but they are definitely not that way on me. The fit was a great idea with the A-line but it didn't translate well for me. Perhaps it was just too large and would have looked better in a size Large but then I think it would've been too tight in the bust. (I have an extremely large bust, so not the fault of the garment sizing for that fit problem.) This will be sent back but the cashmere is luscious. January 25, 2015
comfy sweater This is my favorite sweater this winter. It can be worn over a blouse or shirt or alone. It's cashmere so it is warm. The fit is good as it's roomy around the bottom so is very comfortable. It came true to size also. January 16, 2015
Favorite i love this sweater, I have it in coral, purple, grey and black, with a spare black one too. I'd love to see it in a pale pink, maybe next year? January 16, 2015
unflattering I must agree with the other reviewers who pointed out that an A-line shape can be...not so great for anyone who is a little bottom-heavy. Foolishly, I bought it anyway. Great color (teal), nice quality, but I sent it back. January 15, 2015

Content marketing continues to grow in popularity among digital strategists, and that means rising above the noise is becoming even more difficult. In order to stand out, you've got to be different, and video has proven it can uniquely deliver highly memorable and emotional content to a target audience. A big reason for its success? The power of sound.
BuzzStream and Fractl conducted a survey of over 1,000 consumers to better understand the emotional impact of sound and how it relates to content marketing. Survey respondents were asked to play five viral videos from the last couple of years and then pick which emotions were activated when the video was played. Each group was presented with a different viewing format. The first group had to watch the videos with sound, but without captions; the second group had to watch the videos without sound, but with captions; and the third group was only able to listen to the video's sound and was not allowed to watch the video. Robert Plutchik's comprehensive Wheel of Emotions was used to categorize emotions.

Hi all....just finished this one and so glad...whew...lol..it was a little intense. I think I prefer flowers and birds...lol. It measures 37"x26".
Here is a link that might be useful: The Fishin' Hole
Oh my word, girlie. Another amazing work of a real artist. Your signature cuts, the pedal pushers, the flopping fish, the girl under it scrambling to move, the duck and much more. Is the guy in the red overalls shading his eyes from the sun to see the fish? I can't imagine being patient enough to cut all those tree leaves. You are simply amazing - your speed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crawford suspended indefinitely; Duncan fined $25K
NEW YORK -- Joey Crawford is done ejecting players and coaches this season. On Tuesday, he was the one getting tossed.
Taking a cue from Joey Crawford's pugnacious toss of Tim Duncan, it's time for basketball refs everywhere to put away their egos and give their whistles a rest, writes Pat Forde. Column
The veteran NBA referee was suspended indefinitely by commissioner David Stern for his conduct toward Tim Duncan, who contends the official challenged him to a fight during a game in Dallas.
Crawford has worked more postseason games than any active ref. His suspension will last at least through the NBA Finals, and he apparently will have to meet with Stern after that to discuss reinstatement.
"Especially in light of similar prior acts by this official, a significant suspension is warranted," Stern said in a statement. "Although Joey is consistently rated as one of our top referees, he must be held accountable for his actions on the floor, and we will have further discussions with him following the season to be sure he understands his responsibilities."
But Crawford made it clear to NBA executive vice president Stu Jackson on Tuesday that he would eject Duncan again if the circumstances were the same.
• 266 playoff and 38 Finals games are the most among active NBA officials.
• Officiated the 1986, 1992 and 2000 NBA All-Star Games as part of his 31 years of NBA experience.
• Was involved in income-tax scandal involving NBA referees and unclaimed income from downgraded airline tickets. Pled guilty on July 1, 1998 and resigned. Was reinstated by David Stern before the end of the '98-99 lockout.
• In Game 2 of the 2003 playoffs, Crawford ejected Mavericks head coach Don Nelson in the first quarter for not returning to the bench in a timely fashion, then ejected Mavericks assistant Del Harris later in the game. In the first two games of the series, Crawford's crew called 120 personal fouls and 9 technicals.
-- Elias Sports Bureau
Crawford likewise informed superiors, including Stern, and fellow referees via e-mail Tuesday that "if my employer does not think that was acceptable, I have a problem" working in the future. Crawford has maintained from the start that Duncan deserved two technicals for what he deemed to be disrespecting the game by "laughing [at] and mocking the officials."
However, in his e-mail to Bloomberg News, Crawford appeared to imply that he didn't expect to officiate an NBA game again in his career.
"Please do not be sad for me," Crawford wrote to Bloomberg News. "I have had a great run and a great career and nobody will ever take that from me."
Crawford ejected Duncan from San Antonio's loss after calling a second technical foul on the Spurs star while he was laughing on the bench.
"He looked at me and said, 'Do you want to fight? Do you want to fight?"' Duncan said. "If he wants to fight, we can fight. I don't have any problem with him, but we can do it if he wants to. I have no reason why in the middle of a game he would yell at me, 'Do you want to fight?"'
Crawford was cited for "improper conduct" and "inappropriate comments made to Duncan during the game." Stern said Crawford's actions "failed to meet the standards of professionalism and game management we expect of NBA referees."
The NBA also fined Duncan $25,000 for verbal abuse of an official. Crawford said Duncan referred to him with an expletive.
Crawford was the first referee suspended since Rodney Mott was banned three games Jan. 12 for making an obscene gesture toward a fan and also using inappropriate language in Portland.
Crawford comes from an officiating family. His brother, Jerry, is a major league umpire, as was his father, Shag.
Joey Crawford is in his 31st season as an NBA referee. He has officiated more than 2,000 games during the regular season and 266 in the playoffs, including 38 in the NBA Finals.
Appearing on the Dan Patrick Show, David Stern addressed the indefinite suspension of Joey Crawford, comments made by Ryan Gomes inferring that the Celtics were trying to better their draft position and why he doesn't want teams addressing college players that could become eligible for the draft. Listen
But his temper has gotten him noticed before, especially in Game 2 of the 2003 Western Conference finals, a matchup involving the same teams as in Sunday's game. Crawford called four technical fouls in the first 10 minutes, 11 seconds, leading to ejections of then-Mavs coach Don Nelson and assistant Del Harris.
Two of the technicals in that game came in rapid succession during a timeout when Nelson tried to engage Crawford in a staredown and did not heed his order to return to his bench. Assistant coach Del Harris was tossed by Crawford late in the second quarter after he walked onto the court to protest a non-call against Duncan for playing illegal defense.
"Don [Nelson] walked up to half court. I never told him to sit down because that's not my job to tell him to sit down," Crawford told a pool reporter at the time. "I told him to go coach his team, and he said, 'No, I'm not going to.' So I hit him with one. I said, 'Go coach your team.' He said, 'I'm staying right here.' So, bang, I threw him.
"Del Harris was different," Crawford said then. "Del Harris came to my partner [Ted Bernhardt] at a timeout and said that he was going to get ejected, and to eject him on one [technical], which isn't unusual."
Stern was so angry with Crawford for overshadowing the playoff game that, according to a league source, Crawford was told that if he repeated such actions, the consequences would be serious.
Nelson and Harris, now with Golden State, and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban all declined to say anything about Crawford's suspension before the Warriors played Dallas on Tuesday night.
"All I can do is get in more trouble," Nelson said.
Crawford also called a technical in a recent game against Duncan, who said Sunday that Crawford has a "personal vendetta against me."
Duncan was called for his first technical foul Sunday with 2:20 remaining in the third quarter for arguing about an offensive foul. Crawford hit him with the second technical 1:16 later after Duncan was on the bench laughing about a call that went against the Spurs.
With Duncan gone, the Mavericks rallied to beat the Spurs, ending San Antonio's chance of earning the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

i am about to click the buy button , like seconds away ,, the Paasche DR3000R ,,,,, but would like some feedback on this compressor , thanks
Compressor Question , sorry for a repeated Q

If you aren't paying attention , the jar will overflow into your hose and your airbrush will end up spitting water all over your pristine paint job ! Another way around this would be to buy larger moisture traps from Graingers , Sears , etc , and install them inline . I have three on my setup , always better to be safe than sorry !
Posted 02 April 2013 - 03:42 AM
Hi Donn , yes it has a tank ,,, oh and your DVD on painting , outstanding !!! ,,,, and i am sending you a money order for the other DVD you have , going to mail that today , stupid pay pal still has yet to fix my problem

Looking at the photo of the Paasche website, that's pretty much the same compressor I've been using for the last couple of years, and have no trouble with it at all, the moisture trap does the job it should, nice a quite little compressor, so yes, it's a good choice .....

As the master Donn says 3 traps, I got 2 water & 1oil, Donn's says on his DVD & in his last post, some may consider it overkill but i personally can vouch for better paint work by following Donn's simple but effective guide lines. I will get around to finishing & posting something someday, lol.

A word about air-line dryers...mounting the dryer as far away from the compressor and as close to the gun as practical is the hot setup. Air is heated as it's compressed, hot air holds more moisture than cool air, and it cools in the air lines. The more it cools, the more moisture it releases. In my 1:1 paint booth, I use a large heat-exchanger to cool air as much as possible before running it through the dryers.
When air goes through the spray nozzle, it expands (and cools more...remember high school physics ?? ) so any remaining moisture will condense out and show up as water spitting or blushing on the surface. Science is our friend.

one just before the regulator is needed .. it keeps the regulator clean and trouble free.
any extra is only dealing with potential moisture in the actual AB line.. so a small one at the ab input is popular.
but I always make sure to have one just before the regulator... and that's usually sufficient unless you have a ton of air-line after that

Hey Girl, I am thinking about selling my mini mill and mini lathe. Let's talk about it, if you have a general interest about information on either tool, have had mine for years and used to work as a mold maker, and pattern maker.

I am 72 years old and got back into modeling after being away from it for about 35 years and would like to offer this for your consideration....I admire your enthusiasm for getting into building models but would advise that you restrain yourself a little and actually start building some kits up before buying everything you see that can be used in building. I think that by starting at a somewhat slower pace you can "ease" into the hobby without over-reaching and maybe getting exasperated or overwhelmed and quitting too soon.
I have discovered that although I can't build models that compare to some I see on this and other forums this is a very rewarding hobby that allows a person to proceed at their own pace and advance their skills within their own capabilities.

Sitram Profiserie 11pc Cookware Set - too good to be true?
What is with this deal? Smart Bargains is offering it at $129.99 and if you purchase through Amazon.com, you can get a $25.00 discount and free shipping as well...
I've been doing a TON of reading on this subject of affordable/good cookware and have narrowed it down to the Member's Mark Set from Sams Club and this Sitram Set. Since I don't have a Sams Club membership - I guess that leaves me with Sitram.
Everything that I've read on this set is that it's very, very good. The only criticism is that the disc may not go all the way across the bottom of the pan, resulting in some "unprotected ring of fire" where foods can get burnt if on the edge... (I don't konw...)
Anyways, I'm all prepared to purchase this set but have held back because I've always been the type to expect that good items will cost more. I'm really glad that this set is so cheap...but it just seems fishy to me...how can such a great cookware set be *this* cheap?
Can anyone shed some light on this...or allay my fears on purchasing this set?
I have several pieces of Sitram Cybernox, which looks to me like the Profiserie line with a Cybernox (a quasicrystal with enhanced release properties) cooking surface. The body of the pan is SS with an aluminum disk on the bottom. High quality stuff. One nice feature is the handles are welded to the body rather than riveted which makes cleanup easier. Also the hollow handles really do stay cool. I think this is a great deal.
I am not sure if it is the same set I have, mine was purchased from Costco online for $140 two years ago and was either a 9 or 11 piece set. If it is the same set, the price is definitely right. Mine has the disc bottom and the only complaint, if I can call it that, is that the edge of the disc is a bit sharp. But I have a smoothtop range and don't think it would be an issue on a gas range. It seems to cook evenly to me---any uneveness in cooking I have seen I believe is due to the element on the range and not the pans.
If I had had access to a Sam's club I think I would have considered the Member's Mark. But I didn't and decided to purchase the Sitram set (after research) online and have been very satisfied with it.

A development manager of a non-profit organization is primarily responsible for creating, administering, and implementing the organization's long-term development plan. This generally entails developing and implementing a growth strategy for the future, organizing outreach efforts, and managing relationships with the organization's new and existing donors. The role often necessitates working closely with other departments in the organization. For example, a development manager will frequently consult with the finance department to prepare budgets, monitor costs, and apply for state and federal grant assistance; he or she may also work with marketing staff to develop communication and engagement strategies.Read More...
A development manager for a non-profit organization typically works in an indoor office setting, although they may also attend some outdoor outreach and fundraising events. A typical day consists of communicating with existing and prospective donors, completing and submitting grant applications, planning events, and consulting with both subordinates and supervisors to ensure that the development plan is carried out.
Development managers of non-profit organizations are usually under direct supervision of the president or chief executive officer (CEO) and are expected to work closely with executive leadership to ensure that the organization's key goals are carried out. As a result, skills such as leadership, communication, time management, and teamwork are needed. A bachelor's degree or more is usually required, along with several years of professional non-profit work experience. They may also be expected to demonstrate knowledge of the organization's area of work, such as healthcare or the environment.
Survey results imply that Non-Profit Development Managers deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, skills in Project Management, Grant Writing, Marketing Communications, and Database Management & Reporting are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 3 percent and 18 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include Windows NT / 2000 / XP Networking. For most people, competency in Fundraising indicates knowledge of Event Planning, Microsoft Office, and Database Management & Reporting.
With a pay rate for Non-Profit Development Managers that is 26 percent greater than the national average, Los Angeles offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Non-Profit Development Managers will also find cushy salaries in New York (+18 percent), Washington (+16 percent), San Francisco (+12 percent), and Denver (+4 percent). In Houston, salaries are 19 percent below the national average and represent the lowest-paying market. Employers in Philadelphia and Atlanta also lean toward paying below-median salaries (11 percent lower and 10 percent lower, respectively).

Good eats, good music, GREAT cause!
A night to support building a college-going culture in Rowan County.
Mark your calendars for the second annual BBQ, Bands, & Boots event on Saturday, September 26, 2015 in the F&M Trolley Barn, 6-11pm.
Funds raised from the BBQ, Bands, & Boots event will be used to create the Crosby Scholars Last Dollar Grant program. A Last Dollar Grant is need-based financial aid awarded to graduating Crosby Scholars who demonstrate remaining financial need once their college of choice has awarded financial aid. Crosby Scholars who complete the program their senior year with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher are eligible to apply for a Last Dollar Grant of up to $1,200 for college, each year for up to 4 years. In June 2016, the first senior class of Rowan Crosby Scholars will graduate. By sponsoring BBQ, Bands, & Boots, you will help make the dream of going to college a reality for those students with unmet financial need.
Our first event was a great success! Thank you to all who supported BBQ, BANDS, & BOOTS to benefit Rowan Crosby Scholars. Click here to see some highlights of the evening's festivities.

Australian Matrix Opal from Yowah , QLD.
This is purely inside a strait Yowah matrix opal seen with a 100mm macro lens.
For the 1st time this last two week I've spend a bit of time polishing some bolder matrix opals, it takes an eternity to do with the tools i use, but feel enlightened in a colorful way with the result.
From my point of view, this photo look like a Rainbow Cascade with the pool at the bottom, hum…, will you swim in it too if you could ?

epsome salts ???
Hey Folks, First time for me growing vegs. I have 4 pepper plants growing in containers, so far they seem to be doing pretty good. I used epsom salt on my tomato plants with positive results. Is it advisable to use on pepper plants as well, or is that a no no ? Thanks AL
The word "salt" has more than one meaning.
Salt as in "daily salt intake" refers to table salt, which is NaCl, sodium chloride.
Salt as in "epsom salts" is any chemical compound which results from the reaction between an acid and a base. Epsom salts are MgSO4, magnesium sulfate, which is not the same as sodium chloride.
I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but so far I have been mixing a tablespoon of epsom salt with a gallon of warm water. I let it disolve for about 3-5 minutes and then spray down the leaves and everything. I don't spray the insides of the flowers for fear of washing away the pollen (not sure if that even matters) and then with the leftover I dumped it to the roots. So far it's been working great. I suppose maybe since the plant is way bigger now and in an 8 gallon pot I could get away with mixing even more to dump to the roots. So far I've been happy with the results I've been getting and I could never find in detail the info on "what's best to do", so I'm sticking with this method for now.
planetsagainstus, you're doing just fine. The foliar feeding isn't necessary with healthy plants. They'll get all they need from a root feeding now. As long as the plants are getting plenty of rain to flush them, you can use that mix to water with each time you need to water them. They'll love you for it. Never spray inside the flowers. They're too delicate. The water should be just above cool. Not warm. If it feels warm to you, it means that it's warmer than your body. That's too hot for plants.
If you put your finger into a container of rain water during a storm, THAT'S the temp you want to go for.
Be careful to NOT over water.
I have sandy loam and good drainage. Yet my soil tests for the last two years have shown an above optimum level of magnesium. The state University suggested I don't use dolomitic limestone to increase the pH because of the magnesium in it (calcitic limestone was recomended).
As high levels of magnesium can block calcium uptake, I don't see how putting Epsom Salt on without knowing what is in the soil is a good idea. Yet the Epsom Salt Industry Council says on its website to use it regularly and you can't overuse Epsom Salts. I've written to the Council but so far no reply.
It says "do not ingest"? That's odd because epsom salts are used as a laxative.
You just made the point of why you shouldn't injest it...
Does Explosive Diarrhea mean anything to ya? LOL
I went out to water my plants,taste tested a pod or two... then I couldn't help it but had a sudden urge and fertilized them too...
I'm a constant user of Dolomite Lime.
I mix a handfull in my potting mixes.
It's slow reacting and a lot of pepper plants like extra calcium when they fruit-especially habaneros from what I've read and seen with my plants.
I use Bone meal(root growth) and lime added to all my planting mixes and it really seems to help out my plants.
Both are slow release nutrients in that form.
I keep an eye on the PH of my pots and usually they want to go acid so I add lime before I water every so often.It takes a while to get results but it works for me.
I use Epsom salts but only once in a while.I think you only need it in small amounts.
I water my plants heavily and use faster soil mixes so I don't have much of a problem with salt buildup or overwatering this year so far.
All my plants are in containers.

Muggings are a Common Occurrence
As with any city, be careful when out and about as pick-pockets and muggings are rife. Follow the usual rules like try to dress inconspicuously, don't wear expensive or flashy jewelry and stick to well lit areas.
Especially after dark, don't wander alone, especially if you have been drinking. Also, when leaving clubs etc, make sure you call a taxi in advance and don't accept an offer from the numerous people watining outside. They are not official taxis.
One common trick used against lone drivers is if you park your car and go off to do your business, when you return you may find a tyre is flat. As you try and change it, someone sneaks up and stealthily opens your car door and removes your valuables.

New Iron Man 3 poster shows Tony Stark in smoky freefall
Iron Man 3 will have a minute-long ad during the Super Bowl. In the lead up to Sunday, a new poster for the film has dropped. Things aren't too good for Tony Stark, who looks like Felix Baumgartner if he totally botched that freefall from the edge of space. Hopefully Spider-Man doesn't try to save him -- that would end badly.
While producer Kevin Feige claimed Iron Man 3 wouldn't be so serious, this poster seems to suggest a major downward turn for the character. Somewhere in all that seriousness there should be room for Robert Downey, Jr. to turn on the snark.
Peep the poster in the gallery. Be sure to check out Flixist on Monday (perhaps even Sunday night?) for the Iron Man 3 ad as well as the other big Super Bowl XLVII movie spots as they become available online.

Hello all,
Sorry for the late reply...
On a good note.. I did make a few more sets today..
So those who email me already.. those will go out tomorrow..
I've been thinking about this and.. I don't feel good about charging people to fix a problem with a frame a cut....
That being said.. if you guys cover shipping.. I will send out the parts..
If you are not having a problem.. as I know the stock tail will works.. then hold off in putting in a request..
Thanks all...

Hi all,
Can anyone guide me on the wire connections?
I have almost fixed up my hunter frame, Rushduino FC V1.1, Citrus IMU V2.1.
I just did not have any instructions on where and what to connect between the FC, IMU & my receiver.
This is my first quad, so i am a complete noob to connections. I will be buying the male-to-male wires soon.
Do i need to adjust anything on the FC via the MultiWii 2.0 software? or just test hover first and see if i'm ok with it's flight characteristics first?
Warm regards,
Steven Wong
From Sunny Singapore

First you will need to turn your IMU or the complete board 180deg.
The little arrow on the IMU need to point Y to the front.
Then you just wire +5v - GND - SDA - SCL from the IMU to the Board
For the ESC wire you need to remove all +5v (middle red wire on each ESC wire) but one. So the board will be powered from that single +5v
You connect your motors like that
Number close to motors on the picture show you which pin to connect it to.
I have include the full connection diagram which show you where to connect your receiver too.

Thank you!
I will turn the IMU 180 degrees with Y facing front. Is my FC board correct orientation? Or also turn 180 degrees? My FC board may be correct orientation, correct me if I'm wrong ok :-)
And connect motor ESCs to numbers shown on FC Board -> D3, D10, D9, D11 according to your diagram?
Do I need to do anything to the FC? I assume the software is already preloaded? Just plug n test hover?
Thank you for your patience with me :-)
|Jun 04, 2012, 07:18 AM
The board orientation doesn't matter only the sensors IMU.
Yes for the esc pins.
Yes you will need to upload the right firmware in the flight controller.
Did you order a ftdi adaptor?
I am on road for my real job all day.
Will try to help you more tonight.
Or someone else can help faster ..?

I'm trying to achieve an optimal mixer table. I'm sure we can do better than the current vtail mixer.
I mean, remove the light roll effect when you're yawing. This could be achieved by using front motors to assist yaw too.
Thanks to Walter from mk-fr for pointing me on this direction.
What is the exact angle of the rear motors ? Seems 45° but not sure.
Vertical push of the rear motors is calculated like this:
x is motor angle, y the mixing value for this motor.
vertical push = y.sin(x)
So for booth mixing table ( Y4 & Vtail4 ), this should give:

I haven't test it yet, but logically, this should gives more stable yaw on its axis.
What do you think ?

That's something for you I think.
For the angle it's 40deg from horizontal.

Ok so for 40°, here is it for you Bledi, you'll probably test before me. Too much work this week:
#ifdef VTAIL4
motor[0] = PIDMIX(+0,+1, -1/2); //REAR_R
motor[1] = PIDMIX(-1, -1, +0.32); //FRONT_R
motor[2] = PIDMIX(+0,+1, +1/2); //REAR_L
motor[3] = PIDMIX(+1, -1, -0.32); //FRONT_L
#ifdef Y4
motor[0] = PIDMIX(+0,+1, -1); //REAR_R
motor[1] = PIDMIX(-1, -1, +0.64); //FRONT_R
motor[2] = PIDMIX(+0,+1, +1); //REAR_L
motor[3] = PIDMIX(+1, -1, -0.64); //FRONT_L

what you do is just add some roll on yaw actions.
it's just a mix you can dothe same with your TX.
In multiwii defaut mixing are without "flying help"
|Jun 04, 2012, 08:17 AM
mixing is the basis of multicopter stabilisation
Rules of multicopter mixing table:
- increase gaz should not add tilt.
- yawing should not give roll
- rolling should not give yaw.
On the same way i should try to do the same for roll axis. This should end with a quadX type mixer, with some slight different values because of the 40° angle.

I have also downloaded the MultiWii 2.0 and installed successfully.
My Rushduino FC is the USB version. Not FTDI version.

You just download the code and open the MultiWii_2_0.ino
Then you need to "define" some things in config.h tab.
to define you remove the two "//" before the line
- The setup you are using (Quad .. etc)
- The IMU you are using
#define CITRUSv2_1 // CITRUS from qcrc.ca
#if defined(CITRUSv2_1) #define ITG3200 #define ADXL345 #define BMP085 #define HMC5883 #define ACC_ORIENTATION(X, Y, Z) {accADC[ROLL] = -X; accADC[PITCH] = -Y; accADC[YAW] = Z;} #define GYRO_ORIENTATION(X, Y, Z) {gyroADC[ROLL] = Y; gyroADC[PITCH] = -X; gyroADC[YAW] = -Z;} #define MAG_ORIENTATION(X, Y, Z) {magADC[ROLL] = X; magADC[PITCH] = Y; magADC[YAW] = -Z;} #define ITG3200_ADDRESS 0XD0 #undef INTERNAL_I2C_PULLUPS #endif

This last bit of IMU code, do i add this to the bottom of the def.h tab? or remove the original first and paste this one in to replace it?

I don't have an sdcard and I like to flash my S5 with a custom rom.
Do you think thats possible and how?
You didn't give us a detailed description, so it's impossible to be certain. But likely what you describe is normal i.e. you would need root permissions to browse the SD card file system. It sounds like you looking through the directory without root permissions and the OS therefore restricts you to a base folder there.
