The United Arab Emirates air force's unmanned air vehicle research and technology centre has nearly finished a two-year effort to develop an integrated vertical take-off and landing tactical UAV system. Production approvals are awaited for the Al Sber derivative of the Schiebel S-100 air vehicle.
The centre has also started assessing the potential for tethered aerostats to form part of the UAE's future border surveillance system, with a single demonstration system acquired from US-based TCOM.
The aerostat has a 90kg (200lb) payload capacity and will be fitted with electro-optic and radar sensors. In operational use, the air vehicle would be elevated to an altitude of 1000-1,300ft (300-400m) and remain airborne for four to five days. Data generated by the system would be processed using the UAE's new common UAV ground station, developed by Ucon Systems and the centre as part of the VTOL UAV technology demonstration. Ucon received its initial contracts to take part in the programme in August 2004.
The aerostat trials programme is expected to continue for at least two years and could lead to a multi-system acquisition.
Al Sber was jointly developed by Schiebel and the UAV research and technology centre in a comparative programme that has also involved the CybAero Apid 55 VTOL UAV.
If production approvals are secured, the Al Sber launch order would comprise 40 systems. Development work on the Apid 55, derived from CybAero's Apid 5, is continuing, with both UAV types designed to work in an integrated architecture linked directly into the UAE's broader network-centric architecture.
Longer-term research projects expected to be launched in the near- to medium-term include high- and medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned air vehicles, with the centre awaiting guidance from the UAE defence headquarters on programme requirements. Assessments of a variety of other UAV types, including fixed-wing tactical configurations and larger rotary-wing types, are also continuing.
The UAV centre was established in 2003 and is located at the Al Butein air base outside Abu Dhabi, operating alongside AFAD's Space Reconnaissance Centre.

Currently on S works 29 tires (Rear Renegade and Front Fast Trak)
I've been beating the hell out S works tires at that course and they have held just fine, both Renegade and Fast Trak are very fast rolling tires even when they tend to wash out in some corners.
Got a pair of Racing Ralph EVO 2.1 tires at the garage but I'm frightened about the thin walls, there are a couple of rocky sections (not sharp though) at the course and I'd like to avoid a flat.
The thing is, if S works tires have held (no flats at all) I guess RaRa's will do the trick and add a lil bit more traction in corners right?

GroupM believes that tablets and smartphones could be a major factor in the growing investment in digital ads.
GroupM projects that global digital ad spend will exceed $113 billion by year's end.
According to a recent report by the firm, digital advertising hit $99 billion last year. GroupM found that North America was the biggest investor in Internet advertising for 2012. The group believes that tablets and smartphones could be a major factor in the growing investment in digital ads.
GroupM predicts that digital ad spending will increase by over 14 percent from 2012 to 2013. The uptick would continue a trend of increased funding for digital ads over the past three years. According to GroupM's report, digital ad spending jumped over 16 percent from 2011 to 2012.
North America was reported to be the biggest spender for digital ads. GroupM found that North American advertisers spent over $38 billion on digital ads in 2012. Asia-Pacific was reported to be the second biggest spenders for digital ad spend with over $30 billion.
GroupM points to the growth of the mobile device market as a key reason for the growth in digital ad spending. According to the report, the ability to offer location awareness and touch interfaces on a mobile device is changing the way advertisers can offer ads.
"Tablets created an entirely new and original mechanism of media consumption in less than three years. Tablets combine the display quality of HDTV, the interactivity of the PC and the location awareness, touch interface and app ecosystem of the mobile phone," said chief digital officer at GroupM Global Rob Norman in the report.
"Media is being re-imagined for the tablet and is increasingly seen as the future home of what we have always described as the print industry, the decline of which is precipitous with ever-fewer exceptions."
The growth of tablets could also be responsible for the increase in media time spent online. GroupM reports that media time spent online has increased by 9 percent over the past seven years.

An unusual mesospheric bore event observed at high latitudes over Antarctica
Nielsen, K.; Taylor, M.J.; Stockwell, R.G.; Jarvis, M.J.. 2006 An unusual mesospheric bore event observed at high latitudes over Antarctica. Geophysical Research Letters, 33 (7), L07803. 4, pp. 10.1029/2005GL025649
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract/Summary
All-sky CCD observations of short-period mesospheric gravity waves have been made from Halley Station, Antarctica (76°S, 27°W). On 27 May, 2001, an unusual wave event exhibiting several features characteristic of a "bore" was observed in the OH, Na, and O2 nightglow emissions. Mesospheric bores are rare wave events that have previously been observed at mid- and low-latitudes. This event was particular interesting as: (1) it initially appeared as a single, high contrast, linear front, accompanied by a sharp enhancement in intensity in all three emissions, (2) a number of trailing wave crests were observed to form with a measured growth rate of 6.6 waves/hr, and (3) the wave pattern exhibited unusual dynamics with significant variability in the observed phase speed and a reduction in the horizontal wavelength by ∼50% over a 1-hr period. The location of Halley and the observed propagation suggests a ducted wave consistent with current bore models.

House impressed by 138-point outburst
Eddie House had one of those unforgettable nights for Arizona State a dozen years ago, paying back California for not recruiting him by torching them for 61 points.
That his memorable game didn't even match the second half of Jack Taylor's record-setting performance nearly left the loquacious House speechless.
''Eighty points in 20 minutes? Come on guy, that's ridiculous,'' House said from his Scottsdale home Wednesday. ''That's just unbelievable.''
A sophomore at Grinnell College in Iowa, Taylor lit up the basketball world and beyond Tuesday night by setting an NCAA record with 138 points in the Pioneers' 179-104 home victory over Faith Baptist Bible.
Slightly-built at 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, Taylor had 58 points by halftime and kept firing, taking down records as the shots fell through.
Taylor broke the NCAA record with 4:42 left in the game and went on to smash it by 25 points, hoisting an are-you-serious 108 shots - one every 20 seconds. He took 71 shots from the 3-point arc, more than some players take an entire season, and made 27.
''Seventy-one? I can't even imagine,'' said House, who retired from the Miami Heat in 2011 after 11 NBA seasons with nine teams. ''That's like a pre-game workout.''
Taylor finished 52 of 108 from the field overall, eclipsing the NCAA record of 113 points set by Rio Grande's Bevo Francis against Hillsdale in 1954. He also blew past the previous, impressive-in-its-own-right Grinnell record of 89 by Griffin Lentsch a year ago against Principia.
Current NBA players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony had plenty of praise for Taylor, and so did House.
''I couldn't imagine taking all those shots,'' House said. ''I know it was fun, though. It had to be fun.''
House had a little fun of his own against Cal.
He grew up in the Bay Area and considered the Bears his hometown team. Despite getting offers from numerous schools, Cal didn't even send House a questionnaire, much less a scholarship offer.
Using the slight as motivation, he had extra focus every time the Sun Devils played Cal, wanting a little see-what-I-can-do payback.
House got it on Jan. 8, 2000.
Playing in Berkeley, Arizona State and Cal went back and forth in a tight game that went to two overtimes.
House got hot early and his teammates kept feeding him.
Stroking jumpers and dropping in floaters, he scored 61 points that night, breaking the school record and tying the Pac-12 mark set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - then known as Lew Alcindor - for UCLA 33 years earlier.
House hit 18 of 30 shots from the field, including 7 of 10 from 3-point range, and went 18-for-19 on free throws to earn himself a prominent place in college basketball lore.
''I've always had a grudge against them and I do not like them to this day for that,'' House said about Cal. ''Every time I played them, I made sure I was focused on hurting them as much as I could. I wasn't selfish and taking every shot, but I did make sure they got some of this business.''
House got plenty of help from his Arizona State teammates, who saw the rhythm he was in and kept feeding him the ball. The Sun Devils needed all his points, too, pulling out the 111-108 win after House hit two free throws with 2.9 seconds left in the second overtime.
Taylor's teammates did the same thing for him, which caught House's attention nearly as much as the points he scored.
''You take your hat off to the guy for going out there and getting it done, and the guys who kept passing because I don't know if that would have gone off at some schools,'' House said. ''You would think somebody at some point would be like, hey man, I need some of these shots. You already got 85, let me go ahead and get 60.''
House got his against Cal, putting him with a small fraternity of players who can understand what it must have felt like for Taylor when shot after shot kept going in.
''It's an unbelievable feeling, a good feeling,'' he said. ''It's hard to explain, you're just one with everything that's going on. You feel every moment, almost like your biorhythm is on point. It's hard to explain unless you've been there.''
House has been there and even he's blown away by Taylor's accomplishment.

Absolutely right.
Furthermore, taking the line of reasoning that there was, in fact, 18 days of water (i.e. - "they didn't need to top off") the question now becomes why the skipper is only allowing a dangerously sparse 1.5 liters per day to the crew? This isn't rationing - this is punitive withholding. Again, any way you want to slice it, it comes back to the skipper doing an extremely poor job running that boat. Everything else is a reaction to that fact.

Ernest Flagg
Ernest Flagg | |
Born | Brooklyn, New York |
February 6, 1857
Died | April 10, 1947 New York City |
(aged 90)
Nationality | American |
Alma mater | École des Beaux-Arts |
Occupation | Architect |
Spouse(s) | Margaret E. Bonnell (m. 1899) |

Ernest Flagg (February 6, 1857 – April 10, 1947) was a noted American architect in the Beaux-Arts style. He was also an advocate for urban reform and architecture's social responsibility.[1]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (March 2013) |
Flagg was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father Jared Bradley Flagg was an Episcopal priest and a notable painter.[2][3] Ernest left school at 15 to work as an office boy on Wall Street. After working with his father and brothers in real estate for a few years, he designed duplex apartment plans in 1880 with the architect Philip Gengembre Hubert, for the co-operative apartment buildings Hubert was known for.
Cornelius Vanderbilt II, Flagg's cousin through his marriage to Alice Claypoole Gwynne,[4] was impressed by Flagg's work and sent him to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1889–1891, under his patronage. In 1891, Flagg began his architectural practice in New York, greatly influenced by his knowledge of the French ideas of architectural design, such as structural rationalism.
During this time he joined with John Prentiss Benson to create Flagg & Benson, which later became Flagg, Benson & Brockway with the addition of Albert Leverett Brockway. FB&B designed St. Luke's Hospital in New York City.[5]
In 1894, he established the architectural firm of Flagg & Chambers with Walter B. Chambers, whom he met in Paris. Usually, Flagg alone credited for some of the work he and Chambers worked on together, such as the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
His contributions to zoning and height regulations were essential to New York's first laws governing this aspect of the city's architecture. Flagg argued in favor of zoning laws which would regulate the height and setback of buildings, to allow light and air to reach the streets below them.[6] He was a president of the New York Society of Beaux-Arts Architects. A small collection of Flagg's personal and professional papers is held in the Department of Drawings & Archives at Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University.
Ernest Flagg married Margaret E. Bonnell on June 27, 1899 in New York City. They had one daughter, Betsey Flagg, who married John Melcher[7][unreliable source?] and become a well-respected small-scale portrait painter.[8]
In 1912, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Flagg were on their way to a party held by Stowe Phelps, a fellow architect, when their limousine struck and killed a boy (James McNamara) who had suddenly skated in front of the car. The couple drove the boy to the hospital but he died en route.[9]

Time Expiring to Claim $760 Million in Refunds for 2010 Tax Returns
IRS Special Edition Tax Tip 2014-09, March 21, 2014
If you did not file a tax return for 2010, you may be one of over 900,000 taxpayers who may be due a refund from that year. If you are, you must claim your share of almost $760 million by the April 15 tax deadline. To claim your refund, you must file a 2010 federal income tax return. Here are the facts you need to know about unclaimed refunds:
- The unclaimed refunds apply to people who did not file a federal income tax return for 2010. The IRS estimates that half the potential refunds are more than $571.
- Some people, such as students and part-time workers, may not have filed because they had too little income to require filing a tax return. They may have a refund waiting if they had taxes withheld from their wages or made quarterly estimated payments. A refund could also apply if they qualify for certain tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.
- If you didn't file a 2010 return, the law generally provides a three-year window to claim a refund from that year. For 2010 returns, the window closes on April 15, 2014.
- The law requires that you properly address, mail and postmark your tax return by that date to claim your refund.
- If you don't file a claim for a refund within three years, the money becomes property of the U.S. Treasury. There is no penalty for filing a late return if you are due a refund.
- The IRS may hold your 2010 refund if you have not filed tax returns for 2011 and 2012. The U.S. Treasury will apply the refund to any federal or state tax you owe. It also may use your refund to offset unpaid child support or past due federal debts such as student loans.
- If you're missing Forms W-2, 1098, 1099 or 5498 for prior years, you should ask for copies from your employer, bank or other payer. If you can't get copies, get a free transcript showing that information by going to IRS.gov. You can also file Form 4506-T to get a transcript.
- The three-year window also usually applies to a refund from an amended return. In general, you must file Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, within three years from the date you filed your original tax return. You can also file it within two years from the date you paid the tax, if that date is later than the three-year rule. That means the deadline for most people to amend their 2010 tax return and claim a refund will expire on April 15, 2014.
Current and prior year tax forms and instructions are available on IRS.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

Well written but needs more length per chapter
Good start to the story. Not every chapter needs to have sex to be satisfying.
A good story is more than enough as long as it has a sprinkling of sex in it (and god-forbid, sometimes even when there isn't).
In terms of length though I am hoping this is a teaser chapter and the next chapters will be much longer in length though.
Keep up the good work and keep the next chapters coming.by wierdwolfatnight07/24/11An excellent start
I agree with previous comments- I'll take an 80/20 Story/Sex split anytime, especially when the writing is so polished and original.
Don't get me wrong- I occasionally just want writhing limbs, wet pussies and plunging cocks and all, but there are plenty of places to get all of that.
This is good stuff- don't let the fact that not everyone rates it a 5 get to you: it certainly doesnt mean this isnt quaility work, and I hope to see more of the like!by TantricMantra08/07/12Click here to leave your own comment on this submission! or

"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"The quality of the print and design was amazing. I love this product! Will be great on my Christmas gifts. I love the personalization and the colors. The text looks great too with the traditional damask design."
"I picked this out for my daughter-in-law's baby shower because she wanted a pink and green theme. and the design was just perfect. We had the wording say Thank you - Love Kathleen and Matt. But I did not look at the discription close enough so I was surprised it was a sticker and not just a gift tag. In my case though we kept the backer on and cut out each tag, punched a hole in the top, put a ribbon through it and tied it to the favor and it looked fabulous!"
"I love my cards!!! Price and quality are both excellent. Will definitely be using tinyprints.com for my future printing projects!"
"This sticker is just what I was looking for to complete a take out dessert box for my daughter's bridal shower. I am using the sticker, with their names on it, to place on the container of desserts the guests will take home with them. It is simple and just enough for what I was looking for. The quality of paper and the size of the sticker are perfect!"

Cider-Braised Brussels Sprouts
This recipe uses the sweetness of autumn cider to mellow the flavor of the sprouts. From The Cleaner Plate Club* by Beth Bader and Ali Benjamin (Storey Publishing, © 2011), reprinted by permission.
Serves: 6
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts (about 6 cups),
tough stems and outer leaves removed - 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 small red or yellow onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/3 cup apple cider
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Set them in a large saucepan, and add enough water to just cover the sprouts. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the sprouts are bright green and tender but still firm, about 7 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sprouts and continue cooking until the garlic has softened but not browned, about 3 minutes.
Pour in the cider, increase the heat to high, and simmer until the cider is reduced by half and the sprouts are tender, adding a splash more water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

Focusing on Today's Visit

FREE PREVIEW. Purchase online access to read the full version of this article.
This simple checklist can make your job easier by helping patients clarify what they want out of today's visit.
Fam Pract Manag. 2003 Jun;10(6):59-60.
This content conforms to AAFP CME criteria. See FPM CME Quiz.
Medical practices waste an enormous amount of time and energy every day by failing to address patients' real agendas during their office visits. For example, a patient may come in to the office for a diabetes follow-up visit and forget to ask for a needed medication refill. Or a patient may not reveal his or her main health concern until the visit time has nearly ended. The results of these situations are unnecessary telephone calls to the practice, frustrated patients with unresolved health concerns and overworked physicians and medical staff.
The solution
To address this problem, our office has developed a "today's visit" form (see below) that helps our patients focus on what they really want from their physician at the current visit and reminds them of items patients often forget until after they have left the office. We ask all patients to fill out the form when they come into our waiting room, and it takes just a few minutes of their time. We give them the form on a clipboard with an attached pen, making it easy for them to complete.
The form has three brief sections. First, it asks patients to list the "main reason for today's visit." This is not always the reason they gave to the scheduler when they called to make their appointment. Second, the form asks patients to list "other concerns I would like to discuss if there is time." Since most patients do have additional concerns, we find it valuable to solicit this information up front, rather than waiting for the patient to announce, "Oh, by the way, I've been having some migraines" as the visit is about to end. Finally, the form offers a checklist of things patients might need but commonly forget to ask about: prescription refills, work or school excuses, referrals needed for insurance purposes and various forms that need to be completed.
Practices can add a variety of items to the checklist and personalize it to their own special interests or to the needs of their patient population. (You can download our first-visit form below and customize it for use in your own practice.) For example, since our practice is interested in not only the physical but also the spiritual dimension of our patients' lives, we include "I would appreciate prayer today" as an item on our checklist. An amazing number of patients check this option, and we have aides, nurses and physicians ready to provide this service. Other items practices could add to their checklist might include the need for smoking cessation counseling, immunizations, mole checks or medication instruction.
The benefits
The "today's visit" checklist has helped our practice immensely. As our physicians enter the exam room, they simply glance at the today's visit form (which the patient has already completed and the nurse has collected) and can see the patient's full agenda without having to spend precious visit time uncovering these issues. The form has also helped eliminate many unnecessary phone calls to our office from patients who forgot to raise a concern while with their physician. Most important, it has helped us meet our patients' real needs more efficiently.
