By Jason Wojciechowski on February 22, 2008 at 4:39 PM
With the regular season back underway and the trade deadline past, it's
time for a mega basketball post.
First, the Jason Kidd deal. I hate the trade for the Mavs. They get a
washed up point guard who can't or won't play defense anymore for: a
young, improving point (Devin Harris), a young, improving defensive
center (Diop), a young swingman (Maurice Ager), and two first-round
picks. That's essentially five young players for a guy who will throw
out some 10-10-10 triple doubles this year while allowing Chris Paul,
Deron Williams, Tony Parker, and all the rest to run past him all game.
Also, as The Yemen Deli has
insisted to me over and over again, the Mavs are damaged psychologically
and needed to make a move a long time ago, not now. At least now Devean
George can put this whole thing behind him now.
The Mike Bibby deal. I'm just not sure how this is relevant. The Hawks
should make the playoffs with Bibby, since they gave up absolutely
nothing (two backup points, one lottery pick who wasn't playing any
minutes for them) to get him, but this doesn't make them a contender.
Bibby's a good player, but he's not a game-changing player. His peak
ended two years ago. I have no idea how this deal will work out for
Sacramento. I guess it depends on how good Shelden Williams actually is.
The Ben Wallace deal. The Cavs gave up Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, Cedric
Simmons, Shannon Brown, Ira Newble, and Donyell Marshall for Ben
Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West, and Joe Smith. This is a risky
move for the Cavs: Wallace is an aging malcontent who basically has one
skill. He does rebound better than any of the guys the Cavs gave up, of
course, so they'll improve in that area. Wally should actually be a
key to the deal, since the Cavs basically had two three-point shooters:
Daniel Gibson (who's also supposed to be running the point for the
team, not just hoisting up threes) and Damon Jones (Sasha Pavlovic
should be on the list, just not this year). Adding a third guy who
shoots it at 40% from downtown could help keep defenders off of Bron
Bron. Delonte West should also be a better backup point than whoever
was doing the job for the Cavs before the deal (Brown? Eric Snow?
For Seattle, this is a straight salary dump, getting rid of Wally and
getting back Newble (expiring), Adrian Griffin from Chicago (expiring),
and Donyell Marshall (who's a useful player for 10 or 15 minutes per
Finally, Chicago gets to move on from the massive Ben Wallace mistake,
and ends up with Gooden, Hughes, Simmons, and Brown. Who they got back
almost doesn't matter as much as getting rid of Wallace and moving on
to the next phase for the franchise. Gooden may be considered a
project, to see if anyone can get him back on track: he's stagnated the
last two years in Cleveland, and it's not really clear why. Maybe
someone in Chicago can get him back on track.
The Hornets. New Orleans made a bit of a silly trade, sending Bobby
Jackson to Houston for Mike James and Bonzi Wells. Wells is an
interesting pickup, but you have to worry about a corrosive personality.
Jackson for James is essentially a lateral move -- these backup point
guards, they all look alike to me. For Houston, I'm not sure what the
deal does. More playing time for Luis Scola and Chuck Hayes? It's a
risky move because they're in the playoff picture, but the West is
tight enough, with nine teams for eight spots, that any incremental
downgrading could let Golden State push past you.
The Spurs. Brent Barry and Francisco Elson for Kurt Thomas. This deal
reminds me of those waiver claims in baseball where you put in a claim
to keep another team from picking up a player via a trade. Thomas's
name has been bandied about as a guy who could defend well against Tim
Duncan in the playoffs, so maybe the Spurs decided to take that off the
board. The problem for San Antonio is I don't see what Thomas gives
them that Elson doesn't, and then they have to give up a great three
point shooter to get him? Let's say that Thomas is a better defensive
player than Elson, and that he's less incompetent on offense. Both of
those things are probably true. Does that make it worth giving up a
shooter of Barry's caliber? I'm not so sure. (Not that I'm
complaining, as a Laker fan.)
Speaking of the Lakers, they won the last two nights, once in a blowout
over the Hawks (it was 73-37 at halftime). Mike Bibby played just 16
minutes. The Lakers did their usual: Kobe scored, Pau scored with a
ridiculous shooting percentage (7-11), Odom rebounded, and a bench guy
knocked in a couple of threes (it was Jordan Farmar this time). The
other Lakers win, last night, was a little more exciting: 130-124 over
Phoenix. No overtimes. L.A. scored at least thirty in each quarter,
and rode an eight point halftime lead to the victory. Kobe had 41 (what
finger?), Pau shot 13-19, Odom had 22-11, Sasha Vujacic went off again
(15 points in 24 minutes), and L.A. generally just shot the lights out
LeBron had a triple-double in an eight-point loss at home to Houston in
which Yao shot just 3-17. That sentence makes my mind boggle. He went
for another triple-double the next night, this time leading the Cavs to
a victory over a bad team. (Indiana.) Congratulations, LeBron. You
beat a team you were supposed to beat.
The Knicks scored 23 points in overtime in Washington. 23!
Overtime is only five minutes! They should have saved some of those
points for the next night: they lost by forty in Philly yesterday.
Charlotte shot a whopping 28.2% in losing by 20 to the Spurs. That's
awful. Tim Duncan only hit 2 of 12 shots, and it was still a blowout?
Dueling benchies: Francisco Garcia had 23 points in 21 minutes for
Sacramento and Travis Outlaw had 23 in 27 for Portland. The Kings won,
as if that matters.
After beating Detroit by keeping them under 40%, the Magic allowed
Toronto to shoot almost 60% in a Raptor win. Chris Bosh dropped 14 of
16 en route to 40 over Dwight Howard. Howard had a funny line: 37
points on great shooting (13/16) and fifteen rebounds, but just five of
those rebounds were defensive. Ten offensive rebounds. When you get
ten offensive rebounds, shouldn't you have like 30 total?
The Marcus Williams era began in New Jersey with an overtime win over the
Bulls. Williams scored 25, but with just four assists. Kidd's
re-debut for Dallas resulted in a New Orleans win as Kidd had six
turnovers and Chris Paul scored 31, with eleven assists, nine steals,
and just one turnover. Yeah, that's pretty much what you can expect
from here on out, Dallas.
My heavyweight prediction came true, as Marcus Camby came this
close to a points-rebounds-blocks triple double, finishing one block
short. This helped lead Denver to a win over Boston, stripping the
Celtics of their Heavyweight title. Allen Iverson and Carmelo combined
to shoot 33 free throws. Boston shot 28 total.
Denver's next test is at Chicago tomorrow. Yeah, I'm taking Denver in
that game. That shouldn't even be close. Marcus Camby probably won't
get 10 blocks, but that's only because Chicago will just shoot 65 jump
shots and miss 45 of them all on their own.

Comments Thread For: Erik Morales: I Will Make Danny Garcia Call Me Teacher!
WBC junior welterweight champion Érik Morales paid no attention to the comments from Danny Garcia (22-0, 14KOs) and his team, as the two sides traded words at a recent media function in Houston, Texas. This Saturday at the Reliant Arena, Morales (52-7, 36 KOs) warned the younger and undefeated Garcia that he will end regretting his decision to take this fight and after the fight is over - the Puerto Rican boxer will call Morales the "teacher."

« What's going on Friday? | Hammers of Misfortune and The Gates of Slumber touring East Coast (dates) »
Posted in music | tour dates on June 8, 2012
by Andrew Sacher
Paris-based musician Melody's Echo Chamber (aka Melody Prochet) is set to release the "Crystallized" 7" later this year via Fat Possum. That track, which you can stream below, was produced by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, and like Kevin's band, it's soaked in the psychedelic guitar rock of the late 60s, or perhaps a bit more similar to that era's revivalists like The Brian Jonestown Massacre or Spiritualized.
Melody's Echo Chamber will be in the US this fall to support The Raveonettes on their tour which hits NYC for a show at Webster Hall on October 5. Tickets for that show just went on sale at noon.
Hopefully she'll do a smaller show while here? A list of all dates and that song stream below...
Melody's Echo Chamber -- 2012 Tour Dates
September 21 - Hawthorne Theatre, Portland
September 22 - Neumo's, Seattle
September 23 - Venue , Vancouver

That One Girl5 Stars Out Of 5A beautiful Bible!March 19, 2012That One GirlQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for KJV American Patriot's Bible, Hardcover.The American Patriot's Bible is a very well-designed Bible. With a definite focus on history, the Bible includes a beautiful dedication page, and several pages on which to write family records (marriages, births,) and "significant church events" in your family's history. Also included in the beginning pages of the Bible are a map of the U.S., and a list of the fifty states and dates of statehood. A few unique features of this Bible are a place to record military and public service of friends and family, a Call to Action, and a piece on the seven principles of the Judeo-Christian Ethic, including the dignity of human life, the right to a God-centered education, and our personal accountability to God.
Each book has a medium-length introduction, which states the probable author, approximate date of when the book was written, the main theme of the book, a few key verses, and a key chapter.
Littered throughout all 66 books are character qualities accompanied by the Scripture from which they are derived, and figures who demonstrate them. Also, there is a generous helping of God-honoring quotes, pictures of significant figures, and sections on significant events, places, and movements, such as World War II, Monuments to American Patriotism, and Christianity and Equal Rights.
The design of this almost 1600 page Bible is beautiful, elegant, and wonderful. The typeface is rather large, most likely adequate for people with vision problems. It is written in the beautiful, rich King James text, but the words of Christ are not in red. There is a quality concordance and several maps of the Holy Land. This is a perfect gift for a history buff, someone in the Service, a pastor, or virtually anyone else. Over all, a terrific presentation of the Bible.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. -

Part 1 consists of an allograft hepatectomy demonstrating
extensive coagulative necrosis involving almost 100% of the
sampled parenchyma. No viable hepatocytes and only ghost cells
and debris are seen. Some smaller branches of the hepatic artery
and portal veins show thrombosis, probably as a secondary effect.
In section 1D (superficial hilum), the portal vein is almost
totally occluded by a fresh hemorrhagic thrombus. The bile duct
shows hemorrhage and the surrounding fibroadipose tissue
demonstrates fat necrosis and hemorrhage. Focal areas of
organizing granulation tissue with calcifications are seen. In
section 1E and 1F, the arterial branches contain fresh thrombi.
In part 2, sections through the pancreas show hemorrhage and fat
necrosis. Otherwise, the pancreatic parenchyma is minimally
fibrotic. A small islet cell tumor (0.2 cm in diameter) is
incidentally noted, and several enlarged islets are additionally
seen. In section 2B from the hilum, the splenic vein and the
splenic artery contain fresh hemorrhagic thrombi. The pancreatic
resection margin shows mild hemorrhage and necrosis, but it is
mostly viable.
Part 3, from the right lobe of the liver, consists of a needle
core of liver parenchyma. The hepatic architecture is intact and
approximately six to seven portal tracts are recognized, which
are unremarkable. The lobules demonstrate mild centrilobular
hepatocellular necrosis and minimal sinusoidal neutrophilia. No
viral inclusions are seen and no evidence of rejection is
In part 4, from the left lobe, there is a needle liver biopsy.
Coagulative necrosis involving approximately 50% of the sampled
parenchyma is present. The viable hepatocytes show mild
regenerative changes. Mild sinusoidal neutrophilia is seen.

The Constitutional Case for the Impeachability of Former Federal Officials: An Analysis of the Law, History, and Practice of Late ImpeachmentBrian C. KaltMichigan State University College of Law Texas Review of Law and Politics, Vol. 6 Abstract: This article considers the constitutional case for the impeachability of federal officers after they have left office. As a practical matter, while it may rarely be worthwhile to pursue a late impeachment (as with regular impeachment), this does not change the fact that it can be done, or that certain facts may make it desirable. The article principally argues that: (1) Late impeachment was practiced in England and, unlike other aspects of English impeachment, was never explicitly ruled out in America. Indeed, some state constitutions made late impeachability explicit, or even required. (2) Structurally, impeachment is designed not just to remove but to deter, and this effect would be severely undermined if it faded away near the end of a term. Convicted impeachees can be disqualified from future federal office, an important punishment that should not be automatically mooted if the officer resigns or the president removes him. (3) The precedents are mixed, but the Senate has approved late impeachment. Senate opponents of late impeachment have not prevented late trials, and they cannot alter the formal declaration of a majority of the Senate in one case that officers can indeed be impeached after they have left office.

Percutaneous treatment of patients with heart diseases: selection, guidance and follow-up. A review
Department of Clinical Medicine, Cardiovascular and Immunological Sciences, University Federico II, Naples, Italy
Cardiovascular Ultrasound 2012, 10:16 doi:10.1186/1476-7120-10-16
Published: 27 March 2012Abstract
Aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation, patent foramen ovale, interatrial septal defect, atrial fibrillation and perivalvular leak, are now amenable to percutaneous treatment. These percutaneous procedures require the use of Transthoracic (TTE), Transesophageal (TEE) and/or Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). This paper provides an overview of the different percutaneous interventions, trying to provide a systematic and comprehensive approach for selection, guidance and follow-up of patients undergoing these procedures, illustrating the key role of 2D echocardiography.

Leave it to Brian Vollmer, Kitchener-born vocalist with the heavy metal band Helix, to write a Christmas anthem that's both festive and outraged.
"I don't want no Habs jersey, 'cause that would really suck,'' he bellows on his latest metal missive, now posted on YouTube. "All I want for Christmas is the Leafs to Win the Cup.''
The song will likely be the cornerstone of the Helix Heavy "Mental" Christmas Show, which touches down in Kitchener Saturday as part of a toy drive for needy children.
As is always the case with Helix — a band once described by Vollmer as "a bunch of pot-smoking, beer-drinking Canadian horseheads" — the lyrics resonate with a rambunctiousness that borders on satire.
"Ho! Ho! Ho!'' shouts the flamboyant stage-hog, who plays a hockey stick instead of a guitar and, at 57, hasn't lost his knack for pithy self-expression. "Go-Leafs-Go!"
"There is no other heavy rock-mental Christmas show,'' he tells me, hoping I'll take it as a scoop.
"But do heavy metal and Christmas . . . "
"Mental,'' interjects Vollmer.
"Sorry, 'mental,'" I respond. "Do they even go together?"
Oops. Wrong question.
"My wife and I both love Christmas!'' insists the plucky London, Ont. resident, who has lost none of the feisty boyishness that turned him into Canada's answer to David Lee Roth.
"I think when I was a kid it was just about getting presents. I grew up on a farm — poor — in Listowel. We didn't have a lot of money.''
His fortunes changed in '84, when the band he co-founded a decade earlier — and which would come to include Kitchener sibs Brent and Brian Doerner and Cambridge drummer Greg (Fritz) Hinz — finally bore fruit in the form of the call-and-response anthem that has long been their calling card.
"Gimme an R (R!) . . . gimme an O (O!) . . . gimme a C (C!) . . .''
Aside from its use as an educational tool for chronic mis-spellers, the song Rock You catapulted Helix, if not all the way up the rock and roll pantheon, at least high enough to get the heck out of Kitchener and on tour with the likes of Kiss, Aerosmith and Motorhead.
But all good things come to an end, and when raspy-voiced Kurt Cobain put on a flannel shirt and began bellowing about teen spirit at the dawn of the grunge era, Helix and its poofy haired peers went bouncing back to oblivion.
Except, of course, Vollmer, who never got the memo.
And with one revamped line-up after another, he's been dutifully spreading the Helix gospel ever since on boat cruises, at summer festivals and — hey, it was only a matter of time – on the Christmas fundraising circuit.
"Gimme an X (X!) . . . gimme an M (M!) . . . gimme an A (A!) . . . '' he trills into the phone, illustrating how adaptable Helix's biggest hit can be.
"Whattya got? Christmas! And whattya gonna do? Rock you!"
Never mind its logical imperfections. When it comes to entrepreneurial spirit, Vollmer is second to no one.
What: Helix with special guest Sarah Smith and opening act Daryl Gray (Helix's bassist)

Arizona DPS to crack down on texting drivers
TUCSON, Ariz. -- The Arizona Department of Public Safety plans to crack down on drivers who are distracted by texting or their cellphones in general.
The enforcement effort will begin in January and be accompanied by an education campaign, DPS spokesman Bart Graves said.
Graves told the Arizona Daily Star that the plan was being discussed before the traffic-related death of a DPS officer in May. But he said officer Tim Huffman's death highlights the problems with distracted driving.
Records obtained last month by the newspaper showed investigators believe the driver of a big-rig truck, Jorge Espinoza, was looking at cellphone photos of scantily clad women when he slammed into police cars and emergency vehicles on Interstate 8 in Yuma County. Huffman was in a DPS cruiser hit by the truck and was killed.
"What occurred on I-8 was tragic and totally preventable," he said. "It's not just because we lost an officer. It's because we're losing people all across the state all the time."
The Legislature has repeatedly rejected a ban on texting while driving, but Graves said a state law on "speed not reasonable and prudent" will be used to cite distracted drivers.
"Any speed is not reasonable when you're texting, because you're not fully in control of your driving," Graves said.
Extra enforcement will be coupled with media messages, brochures, videos and social media.
"We want the driving public to know one true fact," Graves said. "When you're on the highway, going 55-65 mph, your full attention should be on your driving and on nothing else."
In the crash that killed Huffman, trucker Espinoza was driving an empty fuel tanker 65 mph on cruise control. The Yuma trucker has pleaded not guilty to 20 felony charges including one count of second-degree murder, 13 counts of endangerment and six of criminal damage.

I really want to share my work and get feedback on it, i have seen awesome work on dribble and I know that you need higher standards to upload shots, I'm only 17 years old but signed up for it anyways, I made this in like 30min if you guys could give me feedback that would be awesome .
I dont want to have a negative opinion on this but recently GR has been lowering their standards and the items that is being approved and the really high quality items that deserves more time on the front page has been pushed of it faster, I respect everyones standards but maybe that is the reason why it takes more time to review because to many items has been approved and gets uploaded and the reviewers need to easy on it a little bit? I remember the old times when some of my items stayed on the front page for 5-7 days
Will there be any iphone version of this?

New for Spring: Cotton Lawn Ultra!
Most of these "gliptoliths" depict man with dinosaur -- long before dinosaur bones were categorized.
This hand-drawn digital painting commemorates the Ica stones. The design is based on a few rock-curved drawings for reference, but the human was removed from the dinosaurs' mouth for your comfort. Instead the man is begging for protection from the comet (yes a comet!), hiding under a giant fern. The spots and stripes stayed true to each animal.
You might notice the cross-hatched shorts and sock lines on him -- these ideas came from the original drawings, where similar cross-hatching was used for scales of fish and reptiles. So, did early man wear alligator shorts?

Grow Your Own Tree Hugger: 101 Activities to Teach Your Child How to Live Green

CosmoGIRL 250 Things You Can Do to Green the World
I never really considered myself a "green" person until I went to the Power Shift conference in Washington, DC last year. Things I or my family had done for years—recycling, composting, using reusable bags and cutlery—were second nature to me, and it did not quite click with me that we had been going green for years. After going to Power Shift, I made a decision to do more to help the environment, so when I saw CosmoGirl!
Permaculture Magazine (No. 60 Summer 2009)
Permaculture Magazine seemed like an interesting concept that you don't hear about in too much detail. I hate the 'Go Green!' trend and was interested in learning actual tips on sustainable living. On this front, the magazine was definitely able to deliver. In this issue, I learned (theoretically) how to build an outdoor wood fire oven, how to care for chickens, tips for inexpensive and green day trips out with the family, and DIY recipes for beauty products, among other things.

Jordan queen: Muslim women not required to wear veils
More > ,
Islam does not require women to wear veils, Jordan's Queen Rania has told an Italian newspaper, calling on Muslim moderates to "make their voices be heard."
"Islam neither requires one to be practising, nor to dress in one way or another," the queen told the Corriere della Sera during a visit to Rome on Friday. "So imposing the veil on a woman is contrary to the principles of Islam," said Queen Rania.
"Unfortunately, after all the suspicion weighing on Islam, many people have begun to consider the veil as a political problem, but this is not the case," she told Corriere. "Wearing the veil is a free personal choice."

For years, I've been whining about how few women political leaders and elected officials we have in the U.S. – even today. From the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate to state legislatures and local school boards, men still dramatically outnumber women. We're not even close to that magical 33% tipping point where you begin to change the conversation.
So, every chance I get, I'm always urging women to run for office. This spring, it was another woman who finally called my bluff. Mari Harvey Edwards, the former Mayor of my hometown of Auburn Hills, Michigan, told me, "Anne, how about practicing what you preach? Why don't you stick your own neck out there and run?"
She nailed me. So I ran -- for a seat on the Auburn Hills City Council. And I won!
Running for office requires moving out of comfort zones, knocking on unfamiliar doors and reaching out to neighbors in ways that daily life rarely requires. In the process, it is the candidate who is enriched.
What did I learn? Plenty. The biggest insight is this: American women are on the verge of a tremendous surge into political leadership. What makes me so confident?
We've learned that power takes money – and we're getting over our fear of ASKING and GIVING. In the beginning, it wasn't easy for me to ask for money. But once a few great friends turbo-charged me with big checks, I started to get the hang of it. Mine was a non-partisan election, and I was thrilled to receive checks from friends and colleagues from all sides of the political spectrum. Each check that arrived was a vote of confidence. A signal of trust. I still can't get over Eileen Padberg, a member of the California International Women's Forum whom I've never met. She wrote a check for my campaign because, as she put it, "I want to support another woman leader." So don't believe that old husbands' tale that "women can't raise money." Yes we can!
We've learned that we don't have to do everything ourselves. My bet is that most of you have as difficult a time as I do asking for help. We're so used to being independent and proving how doggone capable we are that it feels like weakness to ask for help. Sound familiar? You just can't run for office, at least not successfully, all by yourself. You have to give in and accept help from others. I was astonished by the amount of time that friends generously gave to help me with the campaign. I was also incredibly lucky to have several high-powered, highly-accomplished, Type A friends in "career transition" with a little extra time on their hands. We had a lot of fun together, and we all developed new skills in the process. My 17-year-old son, Kevin, and his best friend, Luke, -- pictured here -- also helped and learned about being engaged citizens.
The pool of political mentors is getting deeper. I had tremendous support from other women political leaders. For example: Michigan Senator Gilda Jacobs, a seasoned politician, schooled me in campaign strategy and tactics. Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence took the time to knock on doors for me, even though she was running for re-election herself. I returned the favor, of course. She was elected to a third term with 78% of the vote. Clearly I needed the help more than she did! County Commissioner Marcia Gershenson braved the cold and bitter winds on election day to stand outside voting precincts for me. And it wasn't just women who gave me a hand. State Representative Tim Melton and County Commissioner Tim Greimel also jumped in with both feet.
The White House Project is in high gear. The WHP is another key reason I believe we're about to see a big increase in the number of women political leaders. It's one thing to encourage women to run. It's another thing entirely to launch a national, non-partisan initiative focused purely on dramatically increasing the number of women running for office. The WHP has already trained over 15,000 women candidates and plans to train over 36,000 by 2013. I'm part of the Michigan Cabinet of the White House Project and also attended their one-day Debate Boot Camp. Remember the TV series Commander-in-Chief, with actress Gina Davis playing the first female president? Davis now serves on the National Board of the WHP, and last week met with women political leaders in Detroit, telling us, "It's all about numbers. We need to see a big increasing in the number of women holding office." In the photo with Gina is White House Project Founder and President Marie Wilson and Saunteel Jenkins, newly elected member of the Detroit City Council.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TRUST: It's an incredible feeling to see your campaign yard signs on the front lawns of people you've never met. I found myself stopping my car and running up to their doors to introduce myself and thank them. It's an even more humbling experience to stand at the City Clerk's office on election night and watch the votes come in. My joy over winning was quickly replaced with an overwhelming feeling of responsibility. You start realizing very quickly that people are counting on you to represent them – to be at all of those meetings that they don't have time to attend. To be careful stewards of their resources and make the best decisions you can.
It wasn't that long ago that women doctors and lawyers were in the minority. Yet today, we're on the verge of more women graduating from law school and medical school than men.
I predict the same thing is going to happen – sooner rather than later – in political leadership. Let's help each other over the hump. Culturally, women still need that extra nudge. I needed it, too. Yet once I walked out onto the edge of that psychological "high diving board" and took the plunge into the political waters, I was absolutely astonished at the support that materialized all around me.
It felt like I was being lifted by invisbile forces. Or, as if a strong wind was at my back – urging me forward. It's urging you, too. Come Run With Me!

good stuff, I would highly recommend getting data modems (just xbee pro will work fine from DIY drones cause they are already paired for you)
getting the modems is great cause you can monitor the planes position, add waypoints, and do click and fly which is really cool. Steve |

I managed to upload the way points!!!
It was easy thanks to Steve who made me to download the GCS 4.0 Since then all of it works. The only problem I have is that the com port disconnects from the GCS from time to time. I need to reconnect by closing and opening again the application. Other than this it is OK. Steve can you post a link to the data modems? I was looking for them on the DIY drones web but could not locate them. Thanks a lot for your help. |

Use the 3DR radios. A pair cost less then $40 and have a longer range than xbee and are well supported.

I use dragon link for Rc - 433Mhz
Video link 900 Mhz For the data radio I need some other frequenci. I have a range of 6 miles using the above mentioned fr combination. The data radio should have a range of at least 11 miles. 3DR radios work at 433 or 900 Mhz - 100 mw That means I can not use them. |
Right on! Glad it's finally working for you, hopefully the program is more stable for you as well!
PistaJ sorry you can't use the xbee pro then either as it runs on 900mhz you will need a 2.4ghz modem. |

Yes I know.
By the way all went wrong. I can use the gcs 4.0 with the unit but when I went to fly the waypoints suddenly I realised I do not control the unit by my TX. I have no idea when it actually happened. My rudder, aileron and throttle output stopped replying. Only the elevator output is alive. I can see the elevator bar is moving in the gcs. Not the other outputs. If I join servos, they go to max positions as they all output 0.9ms. Only the elevator output works as a reply to the FY movement. Not to the EL Ch movement on the TX. I am not able to activate the RC button in the GCS. If I move the channels on the TX, nothing happens in the GCS. Did the GCS 4.0 destroy my unit? I checked the fy31 AP, initiated the gyros and once more uploaded the software 2.0 All successful but the unit is dead (partly - as it stil communicates with the osd and GCS). It does not react to RC commands. The servos outputs stay at 0.95 ms. When the unit is set for delta wing the elevator outputs servo commands only when I move the unit, but does not do anything as a respond to the RC TX commands. The read diode is working as there is no error with the unit. What do you think I should do? Why is the NAV mode change feature missing in the 4.0 .....hell will I ever get to flying waypoints? |
[QUOTE=PistaJ;23070203]Did the GCS
4.0 destroy my unit? QUOTE] how would that be possible? It's just a GCS... Let me re-read your post and give it some thought... but it may be beyond my ability to help.. sorry. Steve |

1. Perfectly balance the plane and make sure the CG was in the correct place 2. Wait for a day with no wind (last Saturday) and trim the plane without autopilot and stabilizer. (switched off) 3. Record neutral value during flight (DIP switch number 4) After all these steps, the problem has been solved !!! I noticed during step 2, I needed to trim aileron to make it fly straight. So my assumption now is due to not having straight flight due to being un-trimmed, it was flying in a slow right turn. The autopilot corrects this error by turning left. When it reaches the path, autopilot levels and the plane flies again in a slow right turn. This may help others who have the same problem like me. It is very important the plane is well trimmed BEFORE using the FY31AP in any way. I also found another manual on Feiyu website (http://www.feiyu-tech.com/product-en...3&id=26&step=3) which explains much better the PID settings, the effect of the settings and the explanation of the values. The manual is the Panda Manual 1.12. From page 31 onwards, it explains all the settings, shows the default settings and is very helpful for understanding this operation. I mentioned this to Feiyu Tech support and they replied "But on the manual has some mistake. We need rewrite it again. And for the PID setting we will write a manual about it." |

Appears I have fixed my FY-31ap after the gyro problem. Turns out I was not resetting the gyro. The section of the manual was not too clear. I was shorting the GPS rx/tx pins. However, it is the uart rx/tx pins that need to be shorted. When this happens there is a lot more blinking of both the red and blue LEDs and this goes for quite a few seconds.
Now the red led does not blink when the plane is stationary and the artificial horizon is correct after doing my best to shake and spin it as before. |

I see the TXT file in the Firmware 2.0 firmware download says it can only be applied to the newer version of the fy31ap which has a better variometer.
Anybody tried it with an old one? I assume mine is old, Bought in January 2012 |

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE - The eighth, and final, stage of the 2010 Amgen Tour of California wraps up in Southern California on May 23. But efforts are already underway to bring the first leg of the 2011 edition of the professional bike race to Lake Tahoe.
The Tour of California entered its fifth year in 2010, and typically includes elite athletes of the cycling world like Lance Armstrong and Levi Leipheimer.
The Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and North Lake Tahoe Resort Association are drumming up community support for the race, an initial step in attracting the tour to Tahoe, said LTVA Executive Director Carol Chaplin on Thursday.
Douglas County Commissioners approved a letter of support to bring the race to Lake Tahoe's South Shore during a Thursday meeting. Chaplin said she hopes to get a similar item on the South Lake Tahoe City Council's June 8 agenda.
"What we need to do is demonstrate to Amgen the level of community support, so that's the process right now," Chaplin said. "That does not guarantee the tour selects us, but it lets them understand this is a community that is accepting of this event."
Next year's host cities are expected to be announced at the end of June.
A change in the dates of the race from February to May this year was the major factor in making a Tahoe leg of the race a possibility, Chaplin said.
Avoiding rainy months, better positioning the tour on the professional bike racing calendar and showcasing all of California were the reasons the Tour of California switched from a winter to spring event, said Andrew Messick, president of tour owner AEG Sports, at a press conference prior to the start of this year's race.
"In February - you know California is a mountainous state - there's just a lot of terrain that is inaccessible due to snow and cold and shifting to May will open up the Sierra Nevada, various mountain tops and areas like Lake Tahoe for the race," Messick said.
Despite a planned closure of Highway 50 over Echo Summit next summer, such a high profile event could help area businesses during a traditionally slow time of year, Chaplin said. Caltrans expects to close the highway to replace its crumbling guard rail for approximately three weeks in April or May next summer, depending on weather conditions.
An estimated 15,000 people attended the opening of this year's Tour of California in Nevada City this year, according to race organizers.
Other cities that have hosted Tour of California stages have placed the economic benefit between $1 million and $1.5 million, Chaplin said. National and international coverage of the event would also be "pretty priceless" for the area, Chaplin added.
But the bike race won't come free.
Host cities are financially responsible for several aspects of the race, including hotel rooms and meals for athletes and their support crews.
An exact cost estimate wasn't available Friday, but Chaplin said it would probably cost several hundred thousand dollars to fund tour requirements.
Bringing Stage 5 of this year's Tour of California to Visalia cost about $100,000, according to an article in the Visalia Times-Delta.
Despite the cost, the prestige of the bike race could put it on the same level as the annual celebrity golf event at Edgewood-Tahoe Golf course, which attracted a a record 37,205 spectators over six days last year, Chaplin said.
The effort to bring the Tour of California to Lake Tahoe is in its initial phases and is working on a short timeline, but Chaplin is hopeful about securing the event for the region.
"The community, so far, is really enthusiastic about the tour selecting us for one of their cities, but there are a few other hoops we have to jump through," Chaplin said.

About this entry:
A title that could in principle be taken by any lord of the Númenóreans or their descendants in Middle-earth. In practice, though, it is only ever used as an equivalent to 'Chieftain of the Dúnedain', the style used by the Heirs of Isildur after the fall of Arthedain. The title is only recorded as being used by Aragorn, the last of the Chieftains, but doubtless it applied equally to any of his forebears.
Heir of Isildur

Alcock, L.J. and Simpson, A. (2009) 'The role of definitions in example classification.', in 33rd Conference of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, PME 33, 19-24 July 2009, Thessaloniki, Greece ; proceedings. Thessaloniki, Greece: International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, pp. 33-40.
This paper reports an empirical study of students' classification of sequences before and after meeting explicit definitions of 'increasing' and 'decreasing'. In doing so, it explores 1) students' interpretations of the definitions and 2) the appropriateness of this apparently straightforward context for teaching students about the status of mathematical definitions. In particular, it demonstrates that students' spontaneous conceptions in this context can be inconsistent with definitions, and it explores the extent to which exposure to formal definitions influences these conceptions. The results show an interesting pattern of modified classifications, which demonstrates increased consistency with the definitions but shows problems with some pivotal examples.

Pioneer launches text-to-speech tech for drivers, and a booster seat for iPhones
Ted Cardenas, Director of Product Planning for Pioneer Electronics , likes smartphones. Much as he likes, them, however, he feels that they're too small and require too much attention for use while driving. That's why, today at CES in Las Vegas, he unveiled his company's new in-dash navigation systems. Pioneer has partnered with Aha Internet Radio to bring online social media services such as Facebook and Twitter to the system, which actually reads drivers their text messages, traffic updates and other text-based information aloud as they're driving – along with playing a swag of online radio stations via Pandora. Cardenas also presented the Smart Cradle, an earlier-previewed dash-mounted iPhone holder that enhances GPS-enabled apps.

The Joys of Travel
Trip Start
Aug 09, 2009
Trip End
Oct 23, 2009
"Soon soon" in local speak translates roughly as 25 minutes, and by 5:30 we finally were on our way, albeit an hour later than promised. Two more pickups followed and this Toyota minibus was soon overcapacity with bags, sardine packed adults, 6 kids taking a row of three seats, etc. My friend looked a little dumbfounded and I had to carefully explain that yes, this is normal, and no, we weren't going to die. Once he planted that seed in my head though, I started to worry if the tires were good or if this driver was going to leave us a mangled mess inside some compact car eating pothole.
By 9:30am we had reached the Albina ferry terminal in plenty of time for the 11am departure across the Courantyne River. A little bit of a time cushion is needed to buy the ticket, go through immigration formalities out of Guyana and then to board the old rust bucket. This ferry terminal is the perfect example of what happens when a banana republic paeon is given a uniform and some authority. I guess this five foot tall dude of Indian descent is the ferry company equivalent of some airport gate agents back in the States.
For an hour no one had given a flying flip where we wandered off within the compound but all of a sudden this guy got a burr up his ass and decided to pack everyone in behind a sign hanging from the rafters that said "Wait Here." You know what happens when you try to put 15 pounds of manure in a five pound bag. Chaos and pushing broke out as no one wanted to be at the back of the crush, and besides, this space was big enough for maybe 25 people, not over 100. This little Indian guy began yelling at everyone and threatening that the ferry wouldn't run if we didn't get behind that sign.
One woman of size had her her feet and boobs maybe five inches over this imaginary line under the sign and the agent became unglued. He wildly pointed to the sign and drew an imaginary arc with his hand from it to the ground to signify our boundary. He just kept screaming, "Get back!!! I said get back. Go back or ferry doesn't run. GET BACK NOW NOW NOW NOW you blistering idiots!!!" Whatever dude!! Seriously, get a life you self agrandized prick. He started to walk up to me since I was about an inch over the line but being much much bigger than he, all it took was one bowing of my chest and he thought better of it. Who's the blistering idiot now?
Someone signaled for boarding and the mad stampede left the little Indian dude in its wake, but he was not done with us. No, he had to keep yelling for everyone to come back and wait in an orderly fashion behind the sign. "Come back. NOW NOW NOW. Come back or ferry does not go!!! Come back NOW, NOW, NOW!!!!!" Seriously, he is the PERFECT example of what happens when you give a pissant moron some semblance of authority. The ride across the river took about 25 minutes and we prayed the next van service arranged by Brian Taxi Service would be on the other side. While docking a giant crush of sweaty humanity pushing and shoving to be first off formed at the ferry. I was wondering what the hell was going on here and as soon as the gangway came down people were off running. Watching old ladies with canes flying up the dock was disturbing and no way in hell was grandma beating me to the customs line so we picked up the pace, too.
Turns out only one surly customs agent is available to handle over 100 people along with about a dozen cars so this bureaucratic inefficiency was the reason for the mad dash. One family member would sprint to the line to hold a place for those too feeble and meek to run across the finish line. The customs guy would yell and shout as the line would bob and edge up to him and those who didn't back away from his podium and wait behind the red line were stripped of their documents and put in the penalty box. Interesting indeed. One bridge across this not so wide river could end all this nonsense of having to wait for the once daily ferry and having to deal with the crowds, lines and foul mouthed Indian bureaucrats.
As promised back in Georgetown, a minibus driver found us right off as I assume picking two white dudes out of a crowd of Surinamese and Guyanans isn't that hard. We once again packed into an unairconditioned minibus for the four hour journey to Paramaribo. At first glance, Suriname is nicer than Guyana in so many ways. The well kept streets don't look like a dumpster exploded and the rice and banana fields are orderly. In Guyana street work was done with manual labor and simple tools, but in Suriname actual heavy equipment like tractors and dumptrucks was everywhere. What a difference a 25 minute ferry passage makes.
Somehow two older British guys wound up on this epic journey in our minivan since their flight home out of Guyana home had been cancelled for snow in London. Now they were flying out of Suriname and this was their first attempt at third world overland travel. They complained the whole time and got mad at the other passengers for this and that. Sometimes going with the flow is just easier than swimming upstream. One asked where we were from and I said Atlanta and his reaction was priceless...he connected there some time back and said the agents and airport staff are the most miserable human beings he has ever come across and that "their dialect of English is lacking." I love it when Brits frown upon the New World!! They are the ones that spawned America, right?
I am not sure if Suriname is considered the new world or the old but I can tell at first glance this is a place I am going to really enjoy getting to know. So it took thirteen and half long arduous hours to go a few hundred kilometers to get here but I can tell the time spent will pay off big time.
And by the way, I have heard from multiple sources that Brian's Taxi Service is not reliable and frequently strands people. So I truly did get lucky that my transport showed up, Perhaps a more reliable way from Georgetown to Paramaribo is the local bus system to the ferry and then onto Paramaribo.

As part of its program to assist instructors of astronomy at all levels, the ASP is establishing a network of those who teach introductory astronomy at colleges where a significant research effort is not necessarily expected of faculty. Such institutions include community colleges, some liberal arts colleges, some campuses of state universities, and university extenstion divisions.
We are beginning by surveying such instructors, assembling a mailing list, and holding occasional meetings where issues of mutual interest can be discussed.
To become part of this fledgling network, we invite you to print out our survey, fill it out, and send it to:
Andrew Fraknoi Astronomical Society of the Pacific 390 Ashton Ave. San Francisco, CA 94112, USA
If you prefer, you may copy the form to your e-mail editor, fill it out electronically, and send it as an e-mail message to: fraknoiandrew {at} fhda.edu.
We don't yet know how much interest there will be in such a network or how we can obtain funding to assist such instructors, but we are exploring a number of avenues. Please send ideas or suggestions to the addresses shown above.
The first results from this survey were published in Astronomy Education Review: http://dx.doi.org/10.3847/AER2004002

Is the android ui lagg better in jellybean?
One huge thing that turned me off was the ui lagg...

Re: Is the android ui lagg better in jellybean?
You won't be having this issue with the newer devices on the Market today than you would have last year when that article was written. Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean have made large strides to making the UI fluid and great to use. There are third-party launcher replacements which affect the UI in great ways if you are not satisfied with a certain devices UI.
I wouldn't worry about UI issues on the Nexus 4...you might want to take a look through the Nexus 4 forums and see what people are saying about the device.

I had nexus S before. when i was using ICS on it it was laggy. then JB came out i could really see a difference. it was fluid.
Now i have a Nexus 4. its 100 times better than my Nexus S with JB. no lag what so ever. -

Granite Ware Lobster Pot with Faucet
- Online Only
- Summary
Granite Ware cooking vessels have been made in America since the mid-1800s, and the traditional cookware is still popular today. In New England lobster shacks, cooks rely on graniteware pots like this one to steam-cook crustaceans, whose delicate flavor and texture would be marred by boiling. Simply fill the bottom of the three-piece pot with liquid, then use the insert to steam shellfish, corn and other shore dinner favorites.

- Speckled enameled finish is typical of traditional graniteware cooking vessels and protects surface from rust.
