"Our ZOTAC® GeForce® GTX 590 is engineered to deliver the absolute best PC gaming experience available. With the ZOTAC® GeForce® GTX 590, gamers can experience triple-monitor gaming with DirectX® 11 technology, stereoscopic 3D effects and realistic physics processing on a single graphics card for the first time," said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC® International.
As all cards at the moment are reference I'll jump straight to the spec chart:
Product Name | ZOTAC® GeForce® GTX 590 |
GPU | Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 500 series |
Engine Clock speed | 607 MHz |
Unified Shaders | 1024 (512 per GPU) |

Windows 7 capability | Windows® 7 with DirectCompute support |
As you can see, and already know, this is one beast of a card. Zotac are also including their Boost Premium software bundle and a full copy of Assasin's Creed: Brotherhood with the cards, a nice touch, but you'd probably expect some extras with a card of this caliber.
The cards are on sale as of 1PM GMT today.

He can skate, move the puck and while his six-foot, 190-pound frame isn't small, it's a far cry from the super-sized blue-liners teams once sought. Size large doesn't necessarily fit any more.'

Move over, Jack Ryan, because the local police just took your place at the top -- that is, if Friday's box office numbers are any indication.
Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA ) Universal's new buddy comedy Ride Along easily trounced its big-screen competition last night, earning an impressive $14.5 million.
But it shouldn't be all that surprising. The last time comedian Kevin Hart and Director Tim Story teamed up was for 2012's Think Like a Man, it easily won its respective Friday debut in 2012 with $12.1 million. If we assume a similar Friday weekend multiple this time, it should put Ride Along on pace to gather around $40 million this weekend -- not too shabby considering analysts have pegged Comcast's production budget for the film at around $25 million.
What's more, Ride Along is the only new film this weekend to earn an "A" CinemaScore from polled audiences, which means it should also benefit from positive word of mouth.
But speaking of movies people love, Comcast also secured second place with its "A+" holdover in Lone Survivor, which earned an estimated $6.7 million last night and remains on pace for a solid $26 million second-weekend haul.
Here's how everyone else fared
And that finally brings us to Viacom (NASDAQ: VIA ) Paramount's Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, which earned third place with $5.4 million yesterday -- or just over half the $10 million Friday debut enjoyed by Jack Ryan's last film in 2002, The Sum of All Fears. When all's said and done this weekend, Viacom's $60 million effort will likely gross around $17 million.
So why did Shadow Recruit disappoint? Despite Viacom's broader target PG-13 audience, I think the main culprit lies with significant overlap in interested viewers who would rather watch Comcast's R-rated Lone Survivor.
Next, Open Road Films' first jab at 3-D animation arrived this weekend with The Nut Job, which currently sits in fourth place at a modest $4.8 million en route to a likely $15 million weekend launch -- not an overwhelming debut, but reasonable when we consider Open Road's mid-range $42 million budget.
By comparison, Disney's (NYSE: DIS ) remarkably strong, award-winning blockbuster Frozen grabbed another $2.5 million in its eighth Friday, or down just 18% over the same day last week. However, keeping in mind Frozen enjoyed a massive late-weekend push following a light start seven day's ago, Disney's film could potentially total around $12 million come Monday.
Finally, News Corp's (NASDAQ: NWS ) 20th Century Fox horrified captive audiences Friday, earning just $3.5 million with Devil's Due. Movie-goers weren't pleased, however, giving it a dismal "D+" CinemaScore. Even so, News Corp shouldn't be too concerned. The film only required a tiny $7 million budget, which all but ensures it'll prove a financial success for the studio over the long run.
I'll be sure to touch base Monday to see how the final numbers pan out. All things considered, though, it looks like the competition has plenty of catching up to do if it wants to steal Ride Along's thunder. In the meantime, just sit back and enjoy the show.

Windows 8: 10 Reasons Enterprises Won't Deploy It
Enterprises are standing firm in their resistance to deploying Windows 8. Even though it has been on the market for more than a year, which is plenty of time for corporate IT managers to evaluate this new Windows edition, most enterprises are standing pat with earlier Windows versions. Companies around the globe are still deploying new computers in the office, but so far, they're mainly sticking with Windows 7. And Microsoft, which has watched its Windows 8 adoption obstinately stay in the single-digit percentages, is doing all it can to push IT to its new operating system. The trouble for Microsoft, however, is that IT managers are right about Windows 8. The operating system might truly be a step up in terms of security, and its new design might not be that difficult to get used to. But for corporate users that want nothing more than to maximize productivity and get the most from their budgets, Windows 8 is a nonstarter. And until Microsoft addresses the corporate world's issues with its operating system, it'll have a hard time changing its mind. It remains to be seen whether Microsoft's planned Windows 8.1 upgrade will successfully address users concerned. See why enterprises should continue to ignore Windows 8.

I don't live on campus, but I have researched the dorms from a financial point of view. The price you pay per semester is ALOT cheaper than living on your…
The food is also a hit or miss. Sometimes the cafeteria has pretty good, sometimes it's not very appetizing. But there are other dining options in the food court of the student union such Chic-fil-a, mexican, chinese food, and Starbucks.
Read MoreAstate provides food variety. They have Mexican food, Asian food and pizza and chicken. You can also purchase a meal plan for a reasonable price. Not only that but they provide mini stores in the library and student union for snacks. And a Starbucks.
Read MoreI personally feel like the food could be way better. The food in the cafeteria has improved from last year, but I think they should make food that is more commonly heard of. Sometimes the healthy options are foods/preparations that I have never seen or heard of. We also have a food court, however I don't like eating in those places either because of all the grease they use in the food. This may just be me considering the fact that 99% of people that I talk to love eating in the food court. But I do love the snack store located in the library. There are tons of healthy options and I find myself stopping there quite often when I'm in a rush to get to class in the mornings and don't have time to stop by the cafeteria. One great thing about food and dining on campus is that each resident living on campus is required to purchase a meal plan, which virtually makes everything on campus free with just a swipe or tap of your student ID,
Read MoreThe food and dining plans here are for sure top notch! While people complain a lot, in retrospect we have it a lot better than any other college in Arkansas. We have a lot of different dining plans available such as either 5 day access to the Cafeteria, or 7 day. This is vital if one plans to stay the weekend. One can eat here literally 99 times a day, and still only pay for this one time charge for the meal plan. Also, the meal plans include flex. Flex is money that is prepaid on one's meal plan for the food court. In our food court currently, we have just about anything one could be craving. We have the little campus store which holds some fruit, candy, milk, and other breads. Also, there is Chick-fil-A, Howl's Campus Grill, a Philly cheesesteak place, a Chinese place, a Mexican place, and a sushi bar. And if this isn't enough, the city engulfing the college has more than enough affordable meals for the broke college students. Some even give student discounts with proof of enrollment!
Read MoreThe food in the caf is good, but you will eventually get tired of it. However, they do have special nights where the menu has deluxe dishes. For instance, seafood or steak night.
Read MoreI've also heard that the food is great!
Read MoreThere is a Starbucks and a Chick-fil-A. What more do you need?
Read MoreThe cafeteria is great when you first start. There is a giant buffet surrounding the area. You get tired of the same foods after a while though.
Read MoreThis school definitely needs better food choices, and more variety.
Read MoreI am not a part of any Greek organization, but I can say that they are very active on campus. Most events on campus are hosted by Greek organizations. They definitely bring life to our student union!
Read MoreThere are so many Greek organizations on campus, and even a couple off! They do great philanthropy and hold great events!
Read MoreGreek life is very dangerous here.
Read MoreGreat parties and lots to do.
Read MoreA lot of GREEK life.
Read MoreLast year alone, we had over two hundred females go through formal fall recruitment; that's an Arkansas State University first! Depending on what route you are wanting to take, I would advise you to visit http://www.astate.edu/a/leadership-center/greek-life/
Read MoreThe Greek life is kind of nonexistent.
Read MoreI have been to a few of the fraternity parties because my brother is in one of the campus fraternities. He always speaks highly of his frat and of the others on campus as well. My aunt and grandmother were both members of one of the campus sororities and have nothing negative to say there either, but personally I don't have great knowledge on this subject.
Read MoreVery prominent on campus
Read MoreGreek life is very prevalent on campus. They are always spreading awareness or throwing awesome parties!

Eric Fisher is a second-year offensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. After earning All-American honors at Central Michigan University, he was selected by the Chiefs with the first overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Early Years
Fisher was born on January 5th, 1991 in Rochester, MI and attended Stoney Creek High School. As a senior, he was named an All-State honorable mention lineman. Despite the honor, he was labeled as a two-star recruit by Rivals.com and received minimal interest from collegiate programs.
Central Michigan University
Fisher received only a few scholarship offers and ended up enrolling at Central Michigan University in 2009. As a junior in 2011, he started at left tackle for the Chippewas and earned Third-Team All-Mid American Conference recognition. He was recognized as a First-Team All-American by Pro Football Weekly following a stellar senior season and also was a First-Team All-MAC selection. During his time at the school, the Chippewas won two bowl games.
Kansas City Chiefs
Fisher became the first MAC player ever to be chosen first overall after the Kansas City Chiefs selected him to open the 2013 NFL Draft. He joined Joe Staley of the San Francisco 49ers as the only two Central Michigan players ever to be selected in the first round of the draft. He agreed to terms on a fully-guaranteed deal worth $22.1 million with a $14.5 million signing bonus on July 26, 2013. Despite playing left tackle in college, he started 13 games for the Chiefs at right tackle as a rookie.

Holy Harley! Pope Francis to sell his motorcycle for charity
Proceeds of the heavenly 'hog' will go towards the renovation of a hostel and soup kitchen in Rome.
Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 01:45 PM
Photo: Bonhams
Pope Francis is not your run-of-the-mill Bishop of Rome. He is, after all, the pope who has shunned the Popemobile for a 20-year old Renault and has encouraged public breast feeding, among many other admirable actions.
And now the pope we love to love is in the headlines again; this time for consigning his custom Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide to the auction house Bonhams.
Yes, the pope has a Harley.
The reverential ride was originally given to Pope Francis by Harley-Davidson last year in honor of the 110th anniversary of the motorcycle company. Although it is unclear whether or not the pope has putted about on the bike much, it is expected to bring in between $16,000 and $20,000.
"I suspect that it will (have) a very limited mileage," Ben Walker, head of motorcycles at Bonhams, told Reuters.
And immediately after the bike is sold, a Harley-Davidson leather jacket signed by the pope will also be sold. The money raised will be donated to the Catholic charity Caritas Roma to help with the renovations of a hostel and soup kitchen in Rome.
The auction will take place at the Grand Palais in Paris on February 6.

Show Him the Money
For Paul Thompson, the season of giving begins in late summer when, after work, several days a week, he travels from building to building, office to office, and person to person, soliciting pledges and donations for diabetes research. On a Saturday in October, he turns it all in near the Ravens' stadium, where he and hundreds of others gather for a 5K walk sponsored by the American Diabetes Association. In five years, Thompson estimates that he has single-handedly raised more than $40,000 for the diabetes cause. This year alone he raised $7,000. A 15-year veteran of the School of Medicine's Division of Maintenance and Operations, Thompson is a utility worker who picks up trash on the grounds of the East Baltimore campus. He's faced more than his fair share of challenges in his 40 years, yet he's been able to muster a level of energy and commitment that would put even the most accomplished fund-raiser to shame. Thompson himself does not have diabetes; nor does anyone in his immediate family. "But there are so many people who do have it," he says. "So I really would like to find a cure, and I know we have research going on right here at Hopkins." So far, Thompson says, he has not met any diabetes researchers, which is hard to believe, given that he certainly seems to have met almost everyone else. In fact, it's impossible to carry on a conversation with him without dozens of people passing by and saying hi. Cheerful and outgoing, Thompson enjoys working outside where he can see and be seen. He says seven years delivering the Sunpapers (he was an "Honor Carrier") hardened his body to the effects of extreme heat and cold. Earlier this fall, Thompson thought this diabetes campaign would be his last. With other employees getting into the act (Johns Hopkins was a sponsor of this year's ADA Oct. 7 walk), he found himself on the losing side of turf wars. Plus, it was getting tough to collect on pledges. "If I continue this," Thompson vowed in September, "I'll have to have people pledge and give me the money right then and there.'" "I think that is a great tactic," says David McShea, head of fund-raising for the ADA's Maryland chapter. "Paul could do that and still raise thousands. He is one of the most dedicated fund-raisers I've ever met. He's consistently in our top three. I hope to be working with him until we find a cure." Remarks like that have made Thompson change his mind. "I'm going to continue," he says resolutely. His dedication, he says, could well be a model for others. "And that feels good," Thompson declares. "It shows that if I can do it, so can they." —Anne Bennett Swingle |

Travis Calvin Jackson (November 2, 1903 – July 27, 1987) was an American baseball shortstop. In Major League Baseball (MLB), Jackson played for the New York Giants from 1922 through 1936, winning the 1933 World Series, and representing the Giants in the MLB All-Star in 1934. After his retirement as a player, Jackson managed in minor league baseball through to the 1960 season.
Jackson was discovered by Kid Elberfeld at a minor league baseball game at the age of 14. Elberfeld signed Jackson to his first professional contract, and recommended him to John McGraw, manager of the Giants. His exceptional range at shortstop led to the nickname "Stonewall."[1] Jackson was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982.
Early life[edit]
Jackson was born in Waldo, Arkansas on November 2, 1903. He was the only child of William Jackson, a wholesale grocer, and his wife, Etta, who named their son after William B. Travis, a Lieutenant Colonel who died at the Battle of the Alamo.[2] His father bought him a baseball when he was three years old, and they often played catch together.[3]
Jackson's uncle took him to a game of the Little Rock Travelers, who played minor league baseball in the Class-A Southern Association, when Jackson was 14 years old. At the game, Jackson's uncle introduced him to Kid Elberfeld, telling Elberfeld that his nephew was a talented baseball player.[2] Elberfeld observed Jackson in an impromtu work out, and asked Jackson to contact him when he was ready to begin his professional career.[2][3]
Jackson attended Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where he starred on the college baseball team.[4] He injured his knee in college, and this injury would recur during Jackson's career.[4]
Professional career[edit]
Playing career[edit]
Following Jackson's collegiate career, Elberfeld signed Jackson to his first contract, and he played for Little Rock in 1921 and 1922.[2] Jackson committed 72 errors during the 1922 season, which he considered the "world record for errors".[4]
"I guess I set a world record for errors. I had a pretty good arm, see, but I didn't have much control. A lot of those were double errors — two on the same play, a boot and then a wild throw. The people in the first-base and right-field bleachers knew me. When the ball was hit to me they scattered. 'Watch out! He's got it again.'"
Despite this, Elberfeld recommended Jackson to John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants of the National League (NL), who was entitled to a Travelers' player as he had lent a player to the team in 1922.[4] McGraw signed Jackson to a contract on June 30, effective at the end of the Southern Association's 1922 season.[5]
Jackson debuted in MLB with the Giants on September 22, 1922, appearing in three games. With Dave Bancroft and Heinie Groh, the Giants starting shortstop and third baseman respectively, sidelined with injuries in during the 1923 season, Jackson drew notice as a fill-in.[6] McGraw was confident enough in Jackson's abilities to trade Bancroft before the 1924 season, choosing Jackson to be the Giants' starting shortstop.[7][8] Though there was doubt that Jackson could adequately replace Bancroft,[9][10] Jackson played in 151 games during the 1924 season[11] and hit .302 with 11 home runs. The Giants lost the 1924 World Series to the Washington Senators, with Jackson committing a key error in Game 7, which contributed to Washington's victory.[12]
Jackson was considered one of the best active shortstops in baseball during his career;[13] he led NL shortstops with a .970 fielding percentage in 1931.[4] However, he missed considerable playing time in his career due to injuries and illnesses. Jackson reinjured his knee in 1925,[4] missed significant time as a result of his knee during the 1926 season,[14] and had surgery for appendicitis during the 1927 season.[15] He missed time with mumps in 1930[16] and influenza in 1932,[17] and he continued to battle knee problems, missing much of the 1932 and 1933 seasons.[18] Jackson was said to "at 28, already [have] one foot in the minors".[19] Despite this, manager Bill Terry said that Jackson would "make or break" the 1933 season.[18] Though Jackson fell behind Blondy Ryan on the team's depth chart during the season,[20] he returned in the 1933 World Series, which the Giants won over the Senators.[21]
Terry stayed with Jackson as the Giants' starting shortstop for the 1934 season,[1] in which he drove in 101 runs, and was named to appear in the 1934 MLB All-Star Game.[22] He played as a third baseman in his final two seasons,[23] serving as team captain,[21] although he struggled in the 1936 World Series,[24] which the Giants lost to the New York Yankees.[25] After the season, the Giants requested waivers on Jackson, in order to assign him to the minor leagues.[26]
Jackson was regarded as one of the premier defensive shortstops in the league. He batted over .300 six times, including a career-high .339 in the 1930 season,[4] and hit 21 home runs in 1929. He was on four NL pennant-winning teams and one World Series champion (1933). Jackson finished his MLB career with 135 home runs and a .291 batting average.[4]
Coaching and managing career[edit]
Jackson signed a three-year contract with the Jersey City Giants of the Class-AA International League after the 1936 season. The team, which the Giants had purchased to become their farm team that offseason, was moved from Albany, New York, with Jackson to serve as player-manager.[27][28] Jackson's knees prevented him from appearing in many games with Jersey City as a player,[2] but he remained as the team's manager until July 1938, when he was replaced with Hank DeBerry. The Giants brought Jackson back to MLB as a coach for the remaining 18 months on his contract, succeeding Tommy Clarke, who became a scout.[29][30][31]
Jackson missed the next five baseball seasons as he battled tuberculosis,[4] eventually returning to manage in the Boston/Milwaukee Braves system for the Jackson Senators in the Class-B Southeastern League in 1946.[32] Jackson returned to the Giants to coach in 1947 and 1948,[30][33] receiving his unconditional release following the 1948 season.[34]
Returning to the Braves' minor league system, Jackson managed the Tampa Smokers of the Class-B Florida International League in 1949, but resigned in July during a losing streak.[35] He managed the Owensboro Oilers of the Class-D Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee League in 1950, and began the 1951 season managing the Bluefield Blue-Greys of the Class-D Appalachian League, but was reassigned to the Hartford Chiefs of the Class-A Eastern League when Hartford manager Tommy Holmes was named Braves' manager.[36] Jackson managed the Appleton Papermakers of the Class-D Wisconsin State League in 1952 and 1953, Lawton Braves of the Class-D Sooner State League from 1954 through 1957, Midland Braves of the Class-D Sophomore League in 1958,[32] Eau Claire Braves of the Class-C Northern League in 1959,[37] and Davenport Braves of the Class-D Midwest League in 1960.[32]
Personal life[edit]
Jackson and his wife, Mary, had two children, Dorothy Fincher and William Travis Jackson, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.[4] Jackson died of Alzheimer's Disease in 1987.[4]
Jackson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1982.[4] Despite his record and achievements, defensive standouts were overshadowed by power hitters in Hall of Fame balloting.[38] He was also inducted in the Arkansas Hall of Fame.[39]

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Living kidney donor simply astonishing
On April 23, my daughters and I attended the second anniversary of the signupforlife.ca website at Health Sciences Centre. It was a press conference with a couple of guest speakers and media. You may have seen it on the news.
There was an amazing man at this event who talked about his experience. He is a kidney donor. A living kidney donor — meaning he gives away one of his kidneys, while living, to someone who needs one. Even more amazing about this story is that he didn't have a person to whom he wanted to give a kidney. He just wanted to be an anonymous donor.
To donate one of your kidneys to someone is wonderful but to give one to a complete stranger? There are no words for a person like that. This anonymous donor went through a surgery and gave someone he doesn't even know the chance at a normal life again. I don't even think he realizes the impact he has made on some very lucky person's life.
Although he may never know the person who received his kidney and never physically see what he has done, he knows that he has helped someone while he was alive. And he can live every day knowing he has done something truly incredible.
Most people who choose to become live donors know the recipients. They give a kidney to help a loved one such as a child, parent or sibling. When a person decides to be a partner in the paired exchange program the donor gives a kidney so his or her partner will receive one back. This is for people like me who have a donor who doesn't match.
Becoming a living donor is something most of us are able to do (most of us d can live normal lives with only one kidney) and this would be an amazing choice to make but I realize it is something that is going to happen every day.
An easy choice would be to go to the signupforlife.ca website to become an organ donor.
On April 28, the website finally reached 10,000 registered organ donors. Now let's get it to 20,000.

handcuffs, device for shackling the hands, used by police on prisoners under arrest. Until modern times, handcuffs were of two kinds: (1) the figure 8, which confined the hands close together either in front of or behind the body, and (2) rings that fitted around the wrists and were connected by a short chain, these being somewhat like those used by modern police forces. The old names were manacles; shackbolts, or shackles; gyves; and swivels. Most modern handcuffs are made of steel, adjustable to the wrist size, and equipped with an automatic locking device. Disposable handcuffs of nylon are now available; their advantage is that a police officer can easily carry several pairs, for example, at the scene of a riot.

Title: | Coral Reef Education in Hawaii |
Author: | Nakamura, Melissa |
Date: | 2011-04-26 |
Abstract: | Coral reefs are vital ecosystems not only to the marine animals that inhabit them, but to other organisms including humans. The importance of coral reefs as well as their decline worldwide is well documented, with human activities cited as the major causes of decline. The purpose of this instructional design project is to create a web-based instructional module on Hawaii's coral reef ecology and conservation to educate visitors and promote contribution to conservation. The website created includes videos and text-based information about the importance, decline and what people can do to help conserve coral reefs. Twenty-eight participants completed the module. Data analysis showed that the module did not contribute to any major changes in knowledge; majority of the participants had previous knowledge about coral reef conservation, as there were high correct responses in the pre-test questionnaire also reflected in the post-test. Based on this study, future studies would include participants who are more likely to not have previous knowledge, such as international students, high school students or a random sample of tourists visiting the State of Hawaii. |

Used to be the benchmark for V3 at LWoods. My first, way BITD. I still repeat it once in a while but I grow tired of the jump start. I give it 2.5 stars. |

Used to be much easier, prob v3. Some years ago, an ice climber dry tooled his way across a number of woods classics, breaking the second mail slot on Iron Cross. One used to be able to climb without use of the "Clamshell" crimper. |

Thanks for the heads-up! Guess I might want to head down in Nov or Dec in the hopes of 're-sending' this problem. |

- Limited Time Only! (The ad below will not display on your printed page)
1. Prepare Batter Let eggs, butter, and milk stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl combine cake flour, baking powder, and kosher salt; spoon flour mixture onto a square of waxed paper. "It makes adding flour to the bowl much neater," says Scott. Butter three 8x8x2-inch square or three 8x1-1/2-inch round cake pans; line bottoms with waxed paper. Butter waxed paper and lightly flour; set aside.
2. In large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 2 cups sugar and 1 Tbsp. vanilla; beat 3 to 4 minutes on medium speed until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Using waxed paper as funnel for flour, alternately add flour mixture and milk to butter mixture, beating on low after each addition until just combined. "It should be satin smooth," says Scott. Divide batter among the three pans.
3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool layers in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove the cake layers from pans; peel off waxed paper and discard. Cool on wire racks.
4. To drain coconut water, with an ice pick or nut pick make holes in two of the eyes with a pressing, twisting motion. If eyes are especially tough, tap top of pick with hammer. Pour coconut water into measuring cup. "Some folks use this water as a replacement for part of the milk in the cake layer recipe. I enjoy drinking the coconut water over ice."
5. To crack coconut shell, hold coconut in one hand and with hammer tap-somewhat assertively-rotating the coconut as you strike. "The goal is not to smash it open, but to systematically tap and loosen the shell, so tap up and down and all around," says Scott. "Rotate and tap a bit more aggressively as you go. After 2-3 minutes of this you will hear a change in the sound of the tapping and then a cracking sound, which indicates the shell has been split." Separate coconut into pieces, tapping with hammer as necessary.
6. To remove coconut meat, on towel-protected counter slowly work thin-blade knife between coconut and shell. With vegetable peeler remove brown skin from coconut. Using smallest holes on box grater, shred coconut.
7. To make sugar syrup: Let egg whites stand at room temperature 30 minutes. In medium saucepan combine 2 cups sugar, cream of tartar, and water. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Cover, bring to boiling; boil 2 minutes. Remove cover; attach candy thermometer to pan and cook, without stirring until 240 degrees F (5 to 10 minutes).
8. Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl beat egg whites with electric mixer on medium to high until frothy. Add 1/4 tsp. salt and beat just until stiff peaks begin to form.
9. With the mixer running on low, slowly pour in hot syrup. Beat in the 2 tsp. vanilla. Increase speed to medium-high; beat until light and fluffy and a dollop of whites lifted off the beater holds its shape (3 to 4 minutes).
10. On a serving plate or stand arrange first cake layer on 2-inch-wide strips of waxed paper. "Once you're done frosting," Scott says, "remove the waxed paper and your plate is pristine." Spread top of each layer with frosting, then sprinkle generously with shredded coconut. If frosting starts to thicken, set over bowl of hot water. When cake is completely frosted heap with additional coconut, pressing gently with your fingers to bed the coconut.
11. With a broad knife or spatula gently lift base of cake and slide waxed paper free. Repeat on all sides of cake.

Information and Advisement
Graduate Study in Criminal Justice
The Criminal Justice Program at the University of Delaware offers undergraduate students an opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary studies leading to law school, graduate school, or a career in the administration of justice. The program is structured around a core of criminal justice courses on such topics as law enforcement, the judicial process, juvenile justice, corrections, and the criminal law. Since any criminal justice system does not exist in isolation but naturally reflects the structure, ideas, and concerns of the society in which it operates, the Criminal Justice Program draws from a wide variety of academic disciplines. Therefore, although administratively housed within the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, the Criminal Justice curriculum includes courses in political science, psychology, history, and at least one foreign language, as well as in sociology. At the University of Delaware, a Bachelor of Arts degree in criminal justice is viewed as a social science/liberal arts degree. Students receive no "hands-on" training in self defense, fingerprint analysis, ballistics, or any other kind of practical, job-related skill. The emphasis is placed on theory, research, and the analysis of substantive law. The curriculum also stresses the importance of representative courses in the arts and humanities, mathematics, and science. Consequently, graduating criminal justice majors will have achieved the skills and breadth of knowledge expected of well educated men and women in a complex and pluralistic society. Students may become criminal justice majors in one of two ways. First, any incoming freshman or transfer student may choose criminal justice as a major. These students are expected to demonstrate both the ability and the commitment to perform well in all of their course work. Second, matriculated students who have already declared another major or who presently are undeclared may transfer into the Criminal Justice Program if their overall cumulative grade point average at the University of Delaware is at least 2.0. Students wishing to discuss the possibility of declaring a criminal justice major may contact Dr. Eric Rise, the Associate Chairperson for the Criminal Justice Program, 325 Smith Hall (302-831-1236). An integral component of the Bachelor of Arts degree in criminal justice is the field experience -- a directed practicum with a criminal justice agency that gives the highly motivated student the opportunity to bridge the gap between the theory and the practice of criminal justice. The field experience is an optional course which is graded on a pass/fail basis and which counts as a free elective. In the field experience, students are provided the opportunity to work on a firsthand basis in actual agency situations. Each field experience also includes a series of seminars directed by a faculty member and designed to help students integrate the field experience with their classroom learning. Students who are already employed in the criminal justice system are encouraged to discuss with the faculty how their program of study might be adapted to fit their individual needs and contribute to their career goals. THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE REQUIREMENTS Under the requirements for a B.A. degree, a student must complete a minimum of 124 credits. For criminal justice majors, 49 of these credits are fulfilled by taking criminal justice courses and related courses in sociology, psychology, and political science. Most of the remaining credits are devoted to general education requirements in written communications, mathematics, humanities, history, social science, natural science, multicultural awareness, and foreign languages. The remainder of the credits are satisfied with free electives of the student's own choosing. An up-to-date list of all the courses that satisfy the general education requirements is available online at: <www.udcatalog.udel.edu/arts/undergrad/asugbreadth.html>. The requirements for the B.A. degree are as follows:
Double Major or Interdepartmental Major DOUBLE MAJOR: With the permission of the dean of the college and both department chairpersons, a student may elect to fulfill requirements for two majors such as Criminal Justice and English (perhaps for a career in journalism), Criminal Justice and Chemistry (perhaps for a career in forensic science), or Criminal Justice and Psychology (perhaps for a career in correctional counseling). INTERDEPARTMENTAL MAJOR: An interdepartmental major may be selected upon consultation with the department chairpersons concerned. Such a major consists of a minimum of 51 credit hours selected from closely related fields. The student, with the advice of the chairpersons of the departments, prepares a program of study that must be approved by the dean of the student's college. Two fields are represented, each with a minimum of 21 credit hours, the remaining 9 credit hours to be selected from either field or in appropriate subject-matter areas.

CAREERS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE Criminal Justice is a career-oriented liberal arts major focusing upon the inter- relationship among crime, the criminal justice system, and society as a whole. As such, there are many potential career opportunities for a student studying criminal justice. The following list represents some of these opportunities:
Federal law enforcement officer Court administrator Juvenile court counselor Correctional counselor Correctional administrator Probation officer Preprofessional training Private security officer or investigator Parole officer Social Worker Juvenile after-care worker Criminal Justice educator or researcher Criminal Justice planner or evaluator Paralegal Victim assistance counselor CRIMINAL JUSTICE AS A PRE-LAW MAJOR Over the past two decades, over 500 graduates of the University's Criminal Justice Program have gone on to law school and are now pursuing careers in law. However, it should be noted that law school admissions officials do not give any special advantage to applicants who have pursued undergraduate majors in such law-related disciplines as criminal justice or political science. Law school officials prefer to select students representing a diversity of undergraduate majors, ranging from criminal justice, philosophy, history, psychology, and English to chemistry, engineering, math, business, and economics. Indeed, a student's undergraduate major is not a particularly important criterion affecting law school admissions decisions. What is far more important is that, regardless of major, the prospective law student will have pursued a rigorous curriculum that requires superior skills in writing, reading comprehension, and analytical ability. The Criminal Justice Program is designed to do just that. INFORMATION AND ADVISEMENT ABOUT THE PROGRAM Students seeking more information about the criminal justice degree program may contact Dr. Eric Rise, Associate Chairperson for the Criminal Justice Program, 325 Smith Hall (302-831-1236). Information about the Criminal Justice Program is also available online at <www.udel.edu/soc>. GRADUATE STUDY IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE Within the Department of Sociology, a Ph.D. in Criminology and a Master of Arts in Criminology are now being offered. These degree programs provide intensive study in the areas of crime and criminal justice, combined with the theoretical and methodological background in sociology appropriate for research and critical analysis of criminal justice operations.

Really, you don't consider a spinning prop from an 85" wingspan gas engine plane to NOT be dangerous. I don't think I would want you near me at the field. Your attitude about safety truly leaves something to be desired Vertical. I hope you're insured pal.
Fishing on a lake dangerous? I guess those trout or bass are real maneaters. I guess you could call it dangerous, if you count drowning. Hunting feral hogs, now that's dangerous. Been there, done that. |

Have had my share of prop cuts from nitro engines back in the day. In 6 months, so far have kept my fingers intact flying electrics.
However, I have been hit by a landing HZ Champ. No injury but I felt it, and a Champ is only 1.3 ounces and it was landing at about 5 kph . A 4 lb+ warbird in a full power dive/crash will have totally different results. Energy increases directly proportional to the mass of the plane and proportionally to the square of its velocity. Simple math will tell you that a foamy 1400 mm Warbird flying at 100 kph will hit with 20,000 times more energy than a landing HZ Cub. How can one NOT take that seriously! I know the troll should not be fed, but some newbie might be reading this thread and misinterpret. Somebody who is oblivious of the real danger posed by our rc aircraft to innocent passersby, should not be flying RC at all. His irresponsible actions, like drinking and flying, could potentially ruin the sport for all of us. |
This whole thread was started by discussing flying a foamie in the park. At which point would you consider flying a 85" gasser in the park? I flew nitro and anytime I had engine running my hands would get nowhere near it, that's what tuning screwdrivers are for.
If you have played in the hobby long enough to build or buy a large plane you should know what can happen. You have heard the stories and seen the pictures and should know not to be around any prop be it 5rpm or 5000rpm. Sure its dangerous if you put anything you value next to that. |

Been flying RC for 20 years only time I ever came close to prop strike was at the hands of an IC Flyer who decided to pick up my Tx and 'check it out' while I was placing the canopy on a model after arming the ESC ,huh typical Philistine ....... |

The bottom line is, a 2 lb "foamie" is still gonna do some damage if it crashes into someone while flying in a park with a lot of people in attendance. We are just saying don't do it if there are a lot of people around. My point is don't drink alcohol and fly..............period.
Early FPV days for me had me 'looking at the obstacles, (me in this case), and not looking at the 'gap' long story short I was going to land in front of where I was sitting, but saw 'me' and ended up running into my shoulder at about 1/2 throttle , the vid shows a surprised look on my face and NO DAMAGES it was a rear proped Bixler. loaded up with a 2200 3S Not saying this is always going to be the case but on this occasion no harm was done.
And call me a woose but I wasn't very hard on the pilot WO #justsayin |

Earlier it was mentioned that you are less likely to be struck by lightning than to be injured or killed by an RC plane. Well, the standard is unexpectedly stiff, as lightning kills some 24,000 and injures about 240,000 people per year worldwide according to the National Lightning Safety Institute's International Lightning Safety Initiative.
There's no way that RC even INJURES 24,000 people per year. But among the reasons for its relative safety is the fact that everyone but the troll treats its hazardous component seriously, realizing that the object is to have fun, not spend the day at the emergency room. 300 people a year choke to death on hot dogs and I'll bet that is more than are killed by RC planes by 200 times. In the United States we've killed an average of about 700 bicyclists per year since 2003. But we don't measure hazard by how many people die. We measure hazard by the potential for injury or death. There definitely IS that potential in RC planes, either electric or IC. |

JamesNeal/SouthPark is saying ridiculous stuff for this kind of reaction. I don't think it's to be malicious. I think it's being done in jest. I'll bet he's having a good laugh anyways...
