Best Answer:
I would say it is not water proof - I would not submerge it in water, nor fly it in rain.
- Answered by Matti W
It is NOT waterproof as it has circuit boards and other electronics that may fail if you get them wet.
- Answered by John B from San Diego
No way there is electrical connections and motherboards exposed under the rotors and water will get into the sensors
- Answered by Genette F from Essex
All the above are true.
However I have flown in rain, and snow with no ill effects. It has crashed in snow and spent up to 30 minutes with those circuit boards buried; very wet when retrieved; and flown again immediately. All I've done is to blow the excess snow/water away with my breath.
- Answered by Andrew N from Outremont
I flew it after rain and put it down in wet grass. It still worked but I would not call it waterproof. It has exposed circuits near the motors and the gears that drive the propellers too are exposed. The central hull does not look water tight either. I would definitely not consider this waterproof.

Guilherme Cruz writing for MMAFighting reports that Shooto Brazil 45 in Rio de Janeiro on Friday will feature a bout between a man and a woman.
Bantamweights Emerson Falcao (0-1) and Juliana Velasquez (0-0) will compete in a professional three-round bout. Falcao is part of promoter Andre Pederneira' Nova Uniao. Velasquez is part of Team Nogueira.
Falcao reported he was hurt and would be unable to fight; it was then that Pederneiras thought outside the box.
"Andre Pederneiras came up with the idea," Velasquez told MMAFighting.com. "He asked Team Nogueira for a female fighter and my team believes Im ready, so I accepted the challenge. My expectations are the best. Im well trained to get there and win.
"Im used to training with man every day. Im a professional judoka and I know the adrenaline of the competition, I know how to handle this."Update:
Osiris Maia, member of the Brazilian Mixed Martial Arts Confederation, the entity responsible for regulating the Shooto Brazil events, is not sure if they will allow the male vs. female fight to happen.
"Theres nothing in the rules that specific prohibits a man to fight a woman, but when you interpret the rules you know that both athletes must be in the same level, so theres no way a man should be allowed to fight a woman," Maia told MMAFighting.com.
"We havent received the official card yet from the promotion, well get that tomorrow at the weigh-ins," he continued. "I wasnt informed about that yet. They announced it to the media only, but if you ask me if were allowing it to happen, I dont think so. I think its a disparity. Well see whats going on tomorrow at the weigh-ins."

What do you mean unique mysql user per logged in user, what type of site is this?
Posted 04 January 2013 - 14:09
I mean, to create a MySQL user. The default user on a MySQL server is root. I would like to know if it would improve security having a separate user like "John" which would only access Joh_products and John_clients table and will have limited privileges like SELECT, DROP, UPDATE, INSERT commands.
This site, is on development right now, so everything can be modified. It's a receipt management website, which each of the users will have their own clients stats, number of purchases, receipts, etc.
Posted 04 January 2013 - 14:15
Posted 04 January 2013 - 14:28
Posted 04 January 2013 - 15:48
NEVER use the root account AT ALL once you've configured the MySQL server, make another account and grant it root-like permissions and ONLY use the root account as a last resort if something breaks to restore everything.
Yes use different accounts for different sites, one account for all clients on one site should be fine i.e. one account for this receipt tracking site, another account for a control panel site, etc.
There was no other way my logic could function.
I don't really see the point of having totally distinct tables for each user either. Seems like a lot of duplication and you'll end up with a massive amount of tables.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 06:34
I Googled a bit and found that there wasn't any problem having multiple tables. The thing is that it allows flexibility. I didn't see a good way on putting the client info, the receipt #, the quantity, price of the product purchased (because it has a variable price), the current product id, the tax, and whether it was paid, delivered or not. So I could fetch it in a productive way later on....

Posted 05 January 2013 - 23:08
Multiple tables are fine, in fact you should be using multiple tables, but there's a much better and organized way of using them. You should be using different tables for storing types of data. If I have Users, Customers, and Receipts; I would create a separate table for each one of them. Then I would create two additional tables used for associations, one for Users->Receipts, and one for Customers->Receipts. These associative tables would only store the unique id's for the rows in the other tables.
Not sure if I explained clear enough or not, also not sure if it's quite the same idea as your system. Either way its best to have different table's for different types of data, since there's no sense in storing the same data multiple times.
Certainly use multiple tables, but not for each user. Say you have 10 users and each user has a separate table, if you want to see all the data from all the users you have to search through 10 tables, vs. just the main table for the type of data you want.
So instead of userA_orders, userB_orders, etc. you just have a single orders table, and store what user created the order in the record you insert into the table.

Design Toscano is the place for extraordinary statues, like our popular Bigfoot statue. We have just the perfect extraordinary statue for Halloween and fall and that is our Harvest of Evil Garden Scarecrow Statue. Crows will not be the only things frightened when this skeletal guy is raised in your garden. Standing over 2 ft. tall this scarecrow seems to be a cross between a zombie and a skeleton and he's never been down the Yellow Brick Road.
There are so many elephant collectors around that we have increased our collection from outdoor elephant statues to some very intriguing indoor statues and wonderful wall sculptures, all celebrating the elephant. If you have an elephant lover on your gift list they might enjoy the Elephant Sculptural Wall Sconce. This one foot wide sconce is a well detailed sculpture of an elephant head with his big floppy ears holding a candle sconce in his trunk. This is perfect for someone who enjoys something different, but it is not exceptionally large as a wall sculpture.
Now with the summer ending and the fall beginning many of our glorious sculptures for outside are on sale. For the medievalist, we have many dragon statues and one of them is Sir Gawain's Dragon Sculpture. Sir Gawain was one of the Knights of the Round Table and this fierce dragon looks like he has been captured and chained up by the knight. He is perfect protection for any house or even castle.

A troll is a fearsome member of a race of creatures from Norse mythology. Originally more or less the Nordic equivalents of giants, although often smaller in size, the different depictions have come to range from the fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of England (also called Trolls at times, see Troller's Gill) – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills, caves or mounds. In the Faroe islands, Orkney and Shetland tales, trolls are called trows, adopted from the Norse language when these islands were settled by Vikings.
Nordic literature, art and music from the romantic era and onwards has adapted trolls in various manners – often in the form of an aboriginal race, endowed with oversized ears and noses. From here, as well as from Scandinavian fairy tales such as Three Billy Goats Gruff, trolls have achieved international recognition, and in modern fantasy literature and role-playing games, trolls are featured to the extent of being stock characters.
The usage of the word troll has developed over time. It might have had the original meaning of supernatural or magical with an overlay of malignant and perilous. Another likely suggestion is that it means "someone who behaves violently". In old Swedish law, trolleri was a particular kind of magic intended to do harm. It should also be noted that North Germanic terms such as trolldom (witchcraft) and trolla/trylle (perform magic tricks) in modern Scandinavian languages does not imply any connection with the mythical being. Moreover, in the sources for Norse mythology, troll can signify any uncanny being, including but not restricted to the Norse giants (jötnar).
In Skáldskaparmál, the poet Bragi Boddason encounters a troll-woman who hails him with this verse (in Old Norse):
The ambiguous original sense of the word troll appears to have lived on for some time after the Old Norse literature was documented. This can be seen in terms such as sjötrollet (the sea troll) as a synonym for havsmannen (the sea man) – a protective spirit of the sea and a sort of male counterpart to the female sjörå (see huldra).
There are many places in Scandinavia that are named after trolls, such as the Swedish town Trollhättan (Troll's bonnet) and the legendary mountain Trollkyrka (Troll church). The most famous in Norway are Trollfjorden, Trollheimen, Trollhetta, Trollstigen, Trolltindan and Trollveggen.
In some Norwegian accounts, such as the middle age ballade Åsmund Frægdegjevar, the trolls live in a far northern land called Trollebotten – the concept and location of which seems to coincide with the Old Norse Jötunheimr.
The second tradition is most prominent in southern Scandinavia. Conversely, what would be called trolls in southern Sweden and Denmark would be called huldrefolk in Norway and vitterfolk in northern Sweden. The south-Scandinavian term probably originate in a generalization of the terms haugtrold (mound-troll) or bergtroll (mountain-troll), as trolls in this tradition are residents of the underground.
These trolls have a human-like appearance. Sometimes they had a tail hidden in their clothing, but even that is not a definite. Many of these trolls had a single lock of hair that no human could comb, whereas the rest was generally messy. A frequent way of telling a human-looking troll in folklore is to look at what it is wearing: Troll women in particular were often too elegantly dressed to be human women moving around in the forest. They could attract human males to do their bidding, or simply as mates or pets. Later these would be found wandering, decades later, with no memory of what had happened to them in a troll woman's care.
More often than not, though, the trolls kept themselves invisible, and then they could travel on the winds, such as the wind-troll Ysätters-Kajsa, or sneak into human homes. Sometimes you could only hear them speak, shout and make noise, or the sound of their cattle. Similarly, if you were out in the forest and smelled food cooking, you knew you were near a troll dwelling. The trolls were also great shapeshifters, taking shapes of objects like fallen logs or animals like cats and dogs. A fairly frequent notion is that the trolls liked to appear as rolling balls of yarn.
Whereas the large, ogrish trolls often appear as a solitary being, the "small" trolls were thought to be social beings who lived together, much like humans except out in the forest. They kept animals, cooked and baked, were excellent at crafts and held great feasts. Like many other species in Scandinavian folklore, they were said to reside in underground complexes, accessible from underneath large boulders in the forests or in the mountains. These boulders could be raised upon pillars of gold. In their living quarters, they hoard gold and treasures. Opinion varied as to whether or not the trolls were thoroughly bad or not, but often they treated people as they were treated. Trolls could cause great harm if vindictive or playful, though, and regardless of other things they were always heathen. Trolls were also great thieves, and liked to steal from the food that the farmers had stored. They could enter the homes invisibly during feasts and eat from the plates so that there was not enough food, or spoil the making of beer and bread so that it failed or did not end up plentiful enough.
The trolls sometimes abducted people to live as slaves or at least prisoners among them. These poor souls were known as bergtagna ("those taken to/by the mountain"), which also is the Scandinavian word for having been spirited away. To be bergtagen does not only refer to the disappearance of the person, but also that upon returning, he or she has been struck with insanity or apathy caused by the trolls. Anyone could be taken by the trolls, even cattle, but at the greatest risk were women who had given birth but not yet been taken back to the church.
Occasionally, the trolls would even steal a new-born baby, leaving their own offspring – a (bort)byting ("changeling") – in return.
To ward off the trolls you could always trust in Christianity: Church bells, a cross or even words like "Jesus" or "Christ" would work against them. Like other Scandinavian folklore creatures they also feared iron. Apart from that they were hunted by Thor, one of the last remnants of the old Norse mythology, who threw Mjolnir, his hammer, causing lightning bolts to kill them. Though Mjolnir was supposed to return to Thor after throwing, the imprints of his hammer could later be found in the earth (actually Stone Age axes) and be used as protective talismans.
In Swedish everyday folklore trolls often were blamed for bad luck or accidents - in the north of Sweden the "vittra" often played this role. In some parts of Sweden they still, when things go wrong, say: "Det går troll i det här" meaning "It walks/goes troll in this" meaning that something brings or has extraordinary misfortune coming with it. For example: If everything goes wrong in a project you can say: "Det verkar som om det går troll i det här projektet" meaning "It looks like there it goes/are walking trolls in this project".
Legends from the Middle Ages and earlier also feature a kind of trolls of more horrifying dimensions. This might reflect a past view of trolls as distinctly bad creatures that would soften in later folklore (see the above), or just be another example of fantastic tales demanding fantastic dimensions.
In fairytales and legends trolls are less the people living next to humans and more frightening creatures. Particularly in these tales they come in any size and can be as huge as giants or as small as dwarfs. They are often regarded as having poor intellect (especially the males, whereas the females may be quite cunning), great strength, big noses, long arms, and as being hairy and not very beautiful (Once again, females often constitute the exception, with female trolls frequently being comely). In Scandinavian fairy tales trolls sometimes turn to stone if exposed to sunlight, a myth generally attributed to pareidolia found in naturally eroded rock outcrops.
Asbjørnsen and Moe's collection feature a number of traditional fairy tales where trolls hold princesses captive, such as The Three Princesses of Whiteland, Soria Moria Castle, and Dapplegrim, and two where trolls invade homes on Christmas Eve to make merry, Tatterhood and The Cat on the Dovrefell. Female trolls may conspire to force the prince to marry their daughters, as in East of the Sun and West of the Moon, or practice witchcraft, as in The Witch in the Stone Boat, where a troll usurps a queen's place, or The Twelve Wild Ducks, where she turns twelve princes into wild ducks. In other tales, the hero matches wits with the troll: Boots and the Troll, and Boots Who Ate a Match With the Troll.
The following excerpts from the Danish Ballad of Eline of Villenskov describe the physical aspects of trolls within Scandinavian mythology:
Edvard Grieg, a prominent Norwegian composer of the later 19th century, wrote several pieces on trolls, including a score based on Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, with the famous In the Hall of the Mountain King, and March Of The Trolls. Regarding his motivations, Grieg wrote: "The peculiar in life was what made me wild and mad...dwarf power and untamed wildness...audacious and bizarre fantasy." Grieg's former home, Troldhaugen ("The Troll's Hill"), is now a museum.
Like Grieg, conductor Johan Halvorsen was a nationalist Norwegian composer. He wrote, The Princess and the Giant Troll, The Trolls enter the Blue Mountain, and Dance of the Little Trolls. Geirr Tveitt was heavily influenced by Grieg's romanticism and cultural exploration of Scandinavian folklore and Norwegian folk-music. Tveitt's Troll Tunes, includes works such as Troll-Tuned Hardanger Fiddle, and The Boy With The Troll-Treasure. Tragically, 80% of Tveitt's oeuvre was destroyed in a fire.
Few Norwegian illustrators or painters have managed to capture these strange creatures and the enchanted atmosphere of Norwegian nature on paper and canvas as successfully as Theodor Kittelsen. Kittelsen's art and artistic use of the medium of drawing, with black and white extremities and scales of gray in between, are in a class of their own in Norwegian art. Theodor Kittelsen was fascinated by this shadowy world populated by supernatural siren beings and spirits. Walking in the forests and fields, he could see them everywhere: in the mists over the marches, in the twilight surrounding fallen pine trunks and in the dripping fir trees on rainy days.
In Swedish children's literature, trolls are not naturally evil, but primitive and misunderstood. Their misdeeds are due to a combination of basic and common human traits, such as envy, pride, greed, naïveté, ignorance and stupidity. In some early 20th century fairy tales, by Elsa Beskow, trolls are also depicted as an aboriginal race of hunters and gatherers who are fleeing the encroaching human civilization. Where man makes a road, the trolls disappear.
Young Scandinavian children usually understand the concept of trolls, and a way to teach children to brush their teeth is to tell them to get rid of the very small "tooth trolls" that otherwise will make holes in their teeth. This is a pedagogic device used to explain bacteria by the Norwegian author Thorbjørn Egner in his story Karius and Baktus.
The Swedish-speaking Finnish author Tove Jansson has reached a world-wide audience with her Moomintrolls.
There is some speculation that the famous story Rumpelstiltskin originated from a troll folk tale which bears many similarities. While the original story of the troll involves a preacher contracting a troll to build a church as opposed to a woman needing to spin straw into gold, the central element of a bargain which is satisfied by guessing the name of the involved party, and the subsequent death of the troll or being whose name is guessed is central to both stories. (see Fin (troll))
All the music of folk metal bands Finntroll and Trollfest are based on Trolls, presented as a naturalist, alcohol-loving and viciously anti-Christian and anti-human race.
See also:
This fits with the trolls in Norse sagas who are often the restless dead, to be wrestled with or otherwise laid to rest.
Scandinavian folk-tales involving trolls such as "Three Billy Goats Gruff" are familiar to other European and European-derived cultures. In the US and Canada, the old belief in trolls is paralleled by a modern belief in Bigfoot and Sasquatch.
Many statues of trolls adorn the downtown business district of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, leading to the town being dubbed The Troll Capital. There is also a park on the northeast side of Fargo, North Dakota which is named Trollwood.
Residents of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, known as Yoopers, refer to their lower-peninsula counterparts as "trolls," because they live "Under the Bridge" (Referring to the Mackinac Bridge.)
Northern Central California (Sacramento, Stockton, Lodi, Modesto, Yuba City and Marysville) hispanic residents tell their children tales of the "Colupe" (KOH-LOOPIE) the little man that lives in the walls which comes out at night stealing away the breath of its sleeping victims. This story was made famous in Stephen King's movie "Cat's Eye".

Gallery: filming the Burma special
Exclusive pictures from our slightly delayed Christmas special, which airs this Sunday…
Posted: 10 Mar 2014
You've watched the trailer, now head behind the scenes at the filming of this Sunday's very slightly delayed Christmas special, which airs this Sunday at 8:00pm on BBC Two.
If you've not already guessed - or missed last week's show - Part One of this epic challenge sees Jeremy, Richard, and James embarking on a voyage across Burma in lorries they've bought for not a lot of money off the internet. Why? To build a bridge over the River Kwai...
We have no idea if this particularly ambitious challenge will end in tears, or two tiers, but we can guarantee stunning scenery, much adversity, regular malfunction, and terrible shirts.
See you on Sunday. Or on iPlayer over the next few weeks.

I spy a five-seat people carrier. Hardly the sort of car where image and excitement reign.
No this is a sector of the market sorely lacking in The Fizz. But hang on. You're witnessing a moment in history. It's the arrival of the first front-drive BMW. (OK, BMW engineered the Minis and the Rover 75, but they aren't actual BMWs). Not to mention this is the first BMW people-carrier.
I wonder why BMW is bothering. But I'll come to them later. First, is this, to paraphrase the car rental guy in Get Shorty, "the BMW of minivans?"
Amazingly, it is. It's tall and the windscreen is miles ahead of you, bounded by huge pillars that block the view in tight bends. You can't see the bonnet of the stubby nose. Your feet are below you rather than ahead. All the static signals are that it's going to drive like any other family box. But guess what: the steering doesn't have mild dementia, the body control isn't vaguely drunk, the performance isn't wheezing. No, the 2-series Active Tourer closely approaches the dynamics of an actual car.

Reviving a historically significant name is a time-honored way to rekindle interest in a mid- or late-cycle vehicle, especially when that moniker evokes fond memories of a marque's glory days. Maybe it's not surprising, then, that when the C6 entered its sixth season of production last year, Chevy exhumed the hallowed Grand Sport designation for use on its latest performance-tuned Corvette offering.
As we've noted before, this latest GS is not an all-new model but rather a canny mash-up of existing parts, some of which were appropriated from the uplevel Z06. The key ingredients include the track-ready suspension and cooling hardware from the old Z51 Performance Package (which the GS effectively replaces), a set of Z06-spec brakes with silver calipers, and a fiberglass facsimile of the Z06's largely carbon-fiber body treatment. Curiously, the dual front-fender hash marks, considered by many (including us) to be central to the Grand Sport mystique, do not come standard but are instead bundled with two-tone seats and logo headrests as part of the $1,195 Grand Sport Heritage Package. At least the package includes stripes for both sides of the car, as opposed to the portside-only treatment employed on the original GS racers and the '96 production model.
While the major components of the powertrain are carried over from the base car, manual-trans GSs do receive the same dry-sump oiling system introduced on the '06 Z06. For reasons of manufacturing efficiency, these engines are bolted together at the Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan, right alongside the 505hp LS7 and the 638hp LS9. The meticulous Wixom treatment has no effect on output, however, which remains at 430 horses and 424 lb-ft of torque (436/428 with the optional Dual Mode Exhaust) regardless of transmission.
Fortunately, a lack of forward thrust has never been a problem for the LS3 Vette, as evidenced by the 12.3-second quarter-mile dash (at 115 mph) our automatic GS convertible recorded at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Even more impressive, this feat of dragstrip heroism was accomplished by simply dropping the gear selector into Sport mode, tromping the throttle, and allowing the car to upshift itself just shy of the 6,600-rpm redline. Never before has it been this easy to extract max speed from such a ferociously quick automobile.
The six-speed auto's paddle-shift feature remains an amusing diversion on the street, but its slow-witted responses and lack of a computer-override mode only underscore the need for a sequential or clutchless-manual option. Our Jetstream Blue test car also suffered from late-opening butterflies in the NPP exhaust system, resulting in a whisper-quiet engine note under heavy acceleration followed by a brief flatulent blat as the flapper valves swung open just before the upshift. This so annoyed one writer from another magazine that he resorted to yanking the fuse for the system (helpfully labeled "Exhaust Mod" on the fuse block) to lock the valves in permanent party mode.
These minor gripes aside, the Grand Sport is, like all current Corvettes, hugely entertaining to drive, with immense power reserves, seemingly limitless grip, and a tolerably compliant ride. Ours was also an attention magnet nonpareil, eliciting even more admiring glances and prompting more gas-station interlocutions than the preproduction Z06 we hosted back in late 2005. Not that we spent much time at the pump: The GS 'vert averaged a respectable 23 mpg over the course of its stay, no small feat given the, ahem, "enthusiastic" driving habits of our staff.

Above: Musician Dan Bailey played music through the evening as Java Nation celebrated its last hours in Sag Harbor on Sunday, April 15.
By Claire Walla
To the beat of a drum and the melodic sound of a mandolin, Andrew Bedini carried the last pieces of his infamous coffee roaster through the doorway of his former Sag Harbor coffee shop, down the brick steps of the alleyway where people used to gather for hours with steaming cups of brew, and into a pick-up truck waiting to cart the machine to the other side of town.
After 17-and-a-half years in Sag Harbor, Java Nation will no longer fill the village with the scent of slow-roasted beans. As of 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, April 15, the coffee shop shut its doors in Sag Harbor.
Groups of locals and Java Nation regulars gathered in the alleyway as Bedini and a handful of volunteers deconstructed the entire coffee shop — including the 1,000-pound roaster — and took it piece-by-piece to 112 Maple Lane in Bridgehampton, Java Nation's new home. The entire move took about two days, Bedini said, adding that Java Nation is on track to reopen at its new location, nestled against the Bridgehampton railroad platform, the first weekend in May.
Since news broke in January that the coffee shop would be forced out of its Sag Harbor location, bitter remarks have circulated in the community, pitting Java Nation against its (now-former) landlord, who will rent the space to a new coffee-shop venture. However, Java's last hours were more a celebration than a teary-eyed farewell.
A white board propped up on one of the few remaining tables inside the coffee shop explained the Bedini's position best: "Although heinous and unscrupulous business practices created this situation, we are excited for the chance to expand and reformat the business that is our passion."
The Bedini's had been scrambling for a new location for the past few months. Though they ardently pursued a few locations in Sag Harbor — including Marty's Barber Shop, the Grenning Gallery and the first-floor corner space in the Bay Street Plaza — all prospects fell through.
The Bridgehampton spot surfaced about three weeks ago when Bedini said a friend simply drove by and noticed it was available. Soon after, Bedini met with building owner Ray Wesnofske, who, he said, "shook my hand and gave me the key the same day."
The Bedinis officially signed a five-year lease agreement for the space on Friday.
At 1,200 square feet, the new location is about twice the size of the Sag Harbor shop and will primarily serve as a roasting location. That strip of businesses on Maple Lane is zoned "light industrial," which means no more than 50 percent of the space can be used for retail.
While Java Nation will continue to sell bags of beans and serve cups of coffee — as well as a couple varieties of pastry — the new location won't be able to function as a gathering space as it had in Sag Harbor.
While sitting at a wrought-iron table in the middle of the alleyway last Sunday evening, Debra Galloway enjoyed the last few hours at her favorite coffee shop. It has sentimental meaning for her, she said, having opened in Sag Harbor the very same week she moved into the village. In fact, her two children — Rakijah, 30, and Suleyman, 23 — had their first jobs there.
"It's like home," she said. "It's family. Cheryl and Andrew were mentors to my children.
"Everyone's very upset," she added of the move.
But, when asked whether she would now travel to Bridgehampton for a cup of joe, she replied in an instant: "Absolutely."
Sag Harbor resident and Java Nation fixture David Slater shared the table with Galloway during the festivities on Sunday. But, he said he wasn't so sure he would follow Galloway's example and head down the turnpike for his regular cup of coffee.
"Sometimes I might go," he said. "But with the current gas crunch, it won't be a regular thing."
Slater is part of a group of Sag Harbor locals who used to frequent Java Nation, spending afternoons socializing in the alleyway. Now, with Java gone, he said he'll probably buy his coffee from Sylvester & Co. or Espressos.
As for the chit-chat, "that group will find a way," Slater said. "A lot of the people who hung out in this alleyway used to hang out on the benches on Main Street," he explained. "I see that as a reoccurring thing."

Starting the last week of March, requests for book publicity flooded my email inbox.
I can't say yes to all of them, but I did to three, and several more came unsolicited.
In the interest of honesty, I'll reveal upfront I haven't had time to read all of them. Nevertheless, I'm going to cover them all today because I need to clear the decks, so to speak.
First up is "Fixer" by Gene Doucette from The Writer's Coffee Shop Publishing House. I couldn't resist the pitch for this contemporary science fiction novel. For one thing, it was about time travel, sort of, and I have a soft spot for that genre.
The plot is complicated, unique and scary in parts. The protagonist, Corrigan Bain, can see a few seconds into the future, and he has created a life for himself by using his ability to save people, mostly from accidents and such.
But then scientists who were experimenting with time start turning up dead one by one. And Bain is recruited to help find out what is going on. The answer kind of blew my mind, in a good way.
You might recognize Doucette's name from his "Immortal" series of books, which have spent months on Amazon's bestseller lists.
"Springsteen on Springsteen: Interviews, Speeches and Encounters" is an engrossing collection edited by Jeff Burger and published last month by Chicago Review Press. Even as a casual Bruce Springsteen fan, I find it fascinating to read Springsteen's own words about himself and his music.
One thing that struck me about his early days was his ever-present concerns about money and lack thereof – for himself and for his band members. He mentioned it early and often.
You rarely think about someone like Springsteen and his band getting kicked out of their homes for lack of payment.
Do you know there is a thriving Amish/Mennonite community near Sarasota called Pinecraft? I didn't until "Simply Delicious Amish Cooking: Recipes and Stories from the Amish of Sarasota, Florida" by Sherry Gore arrived on my desk.
It was released last week by Zondervan, part of HarperCollins Christian Publishing.
The 256-page spiral-bound volume contains tons of recipes (more than 300), lots of photos (some color, some black and white) and neat stories about real people of Pinecraft. Gore also highlights various Plain communities around the world. It retails for $16.99.
I've enjoyed browsing through the book and look forward to trying some of the recipes.
I'm only about halfway through "The Long Game," a novel by Gray McCoy published by Xlibris Corp., and I'm eager to finish the old-fashioned murder mystery, which explores organized crime, conspiracy and family secrets.
Likable but flawed Nick Drexler is the story's central character, an honest man among a family of crooks.
It's available in softcover ($19.99), hardcover ($29.99) and ebook ($3.99) formats.
I'm not quite sure what to make of "Baden-Powell's Beads: London" by Paul D. Parsons, mostly because it's the second book in a series, and I haven't read the first book.
For those of you who have, Parsons will sign copies of his new historic thriller at 6 p.m. June 15 at Sundog Bookstore in Seaside. It's published by GreatSpace Independent Publishing Platform.
If you attend a movie at the AMC Theater in Destin, you might see a trailer starting May 31 that promotes the upcoming book-signing event.
Finally, a reader asked me to tell you about a book titled "Kiss of the She-Devil" by M. William Phelps, a writer well known in the true-crime genre.
Published in March by Pinnacle, the 320-page mass market paperback recounts a Michigan murder case involving former local businesswoman Donna Trapani and a deadly love triangle.
It's priced at $7.99 and available from Amazon.

Rescued Dogs | Short Time, Long Love
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
Wolfie and Cheyenne were German shepherds, already old and infirm, who'd slept in the barn no matter how cold the night, when the author and his wife took them in.
So there's me, and I'm pulling into this unknown driveway. It's off somewhere on the edge of Vermont, and two large German shepherds are loping my way to see what's going on. A lot of people might want to rethink this situation.
I didn't. I was in real estate, and just a little focused. I was showing this very house to a woman who was, well, very interested. She wanted to see this particular house beyond all things, and there was nothing much to say beyond that except "Nice doggie."
Actually, she did say that. What I did was sort of tiptoe my way up to the house, as I wondered how these dogs would feel when I let myself in.
As it happened, the dogs showed me right to the door and waited expectantly while I tried to find the right key. As soon as the door began to open, they bulled ahead and pushed their way inside. I later learned that this was because the dogs were never allowed in the house, and simply seized the opportunity.
And the dogs did love being in the house.
Actually, the woman did, too. With good reason: The atrium-style living room wrapped around a fireplace that looked out at the wilderness through large picture windows. She kept walking around saying, "I love it, I love it." Then she stopped, looked out at the hills beyond the lake outside, and said, "I love it. The problem is, it's not … near anything."
I agreed. The difference was, that was exactly what I loved about it. I said goodbye to the dogs–and the woman–and took my wife, Ann, out to see the house the next day. We bought it that weekend. The dogs welcomed us to our new home.
The only thing left was to work out a few extras with the owner: rugs, boats, tools, lawn furniture, the all-terrain vehicle, and the dogs, whom we now knew as Wolfie and Cheyenne. The dogs? Yes, the dogs. They had, she said, actually belonged to her partner, a man named Todd, who had passed away less than a year earlier. "Died right there in that closet," she observed. Just possible that's why she was selling the house in the first place.

The Make-A-Wish foundation has launched their new campaign called Season of Wishes, where they will grant 50 wishes and KSTP showed how a Warroad 7-year-old is getting her wish.
Kimmy, who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy struggles with being independent because her disease, which weakens her muscles, makes Kimmy rely heavily on her parents, according to KSTP.
To grant Kimmy's wish, architects at Rehkamp Larson Architects Inc. are building a playhouse for Kimmy in her front yard where she can play independently without Mom and Dad's help. What name did Kimmy call her playhouse? Kimmy's Castle.
Jean Rehkamp-Larson, an architect of the company, said they typically create houses and do renovations, but will take on creating Kimmy's Castle. Amanda Kay, another architect at the company, said that it's a a great opportunity. "Hearing her story, how could you say no? she said.
Kimmy needs back growing rod surgery every six months, her mother Dian Mullis said told KSTP. Kimmy has a high-tech chair that can take her outside to play, but once she is outside, she can't do much since something has to be at Kimmy's height for her to use it, according to KSTP.
Ultimately, what Kimmy wants is the freedom to play without her parents' help. "I want [the playhouse] to be independent so I can go in there and do whatever I want," she said.

VETTE magazine was recently invited to Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth to get acquainted with the 638hp '09 Corvette ZR1. Our on-site hosts were Texas Driving Experience Instructor Don Barnes and Corvette Vehicle Dynamics Engineer Jim Mero, who was on hand to wring out the test cars beyond what our limited driving skills would allow.
Mero, you'll recall, is the man responsible for throwing down a stunning 7:26.4 lap on the Nrburgring in a preproduction ZR1, a feat documented earlier this year in a widely circulated Web video. Just prior to heading onto the course, the veteran test driver offered the following appraisal of the car's performance capabilities: "This thing is the fastest vehicle you've ever been in. Are you ready for what it's got?" Having crossed paths with some of the most radically modified C6s in the country, we thought we knew what to expect.
We were mistaken.
In just seven seconds, we accelerated from 0 to 100 on the track's tight infield road course, then carved its multiple twists and turns at speeds in excess of 140 mph. After three non-stop hot laps, we paused for a few moments to catch our breath and process our radically altered notions of what factory Corvette performance can entail.
Those tasks accomplished, we then sat down with Tadge Juechter, vehicle chief engineer (Corvette and Cadillac XLR), to get the behind-the-scenes story on the fastest production Corvette in history.
VETTE Magazine: What were your first thoughts when you were given the ZR1 project?
Tadge Juechter: My first thought was, Wow! They want to do this?
VM: Were you given specific instructions on what to accomplish, or did you define the goals within the engineering department and then sell them to the corporation?
TJ: Our goals were totally our own [Team Corvette's]-namely, build the best Corvette possible for a $100,000 price point. [The car would have] more acceleration, braking, and cornering, but also more comfort, and [it would] retain the utility of a daily driver.
VM: How many engineering team members were responsible for the ZR1?
TJ: The engineering team started with just a handful working in secret but grew to a few dozen as the car moved toward production as an approved program.
VM: Is the ZR1 an America-only success story, or did GM teams from across the globe participate in its development?
TJ: The ZR1 was engineered primarily in North America, but we partnered with some of the best companies in the world, [including] Michelin from France and Brembo, [which is] based in Italy.
VM: Was the LS-series engine the only one you considered for the ZR1? Did you look at alternate displacements? What about a big-block-motor? Was a front-engine layout the only option you considered?
TJ: We talked about the big-block but felt it would be too heavy, and we wouldn't meet our goals for mass and weight distribution. As an advanced version of the Z06, the engine had to remain in the front of the car. All-wheel drive would have torn up the structure and made the car much heavier. We looked at a couple possible displacements, settling on 6.2L as [embodying] the right balance of power and durability.
VM: As was the case with some of the vintage 427s, was consideration given to making the ZR1 an off-road-only vehicle?
TJ: No, the ZR1 was always conceived to be a road car that happened to be extraordin-arily fast and capable on the track. Sales vol-ume of off-road-only variants would be too low to make an acceptable business case.

Steve Hassenplug has attended this event previously, winning various prizes. If anyone can make it, it seems to be a lot of fun. And we'd love to hear about it at the blog to.
Gee, Jim, as a contributor does the blog have some petty cash I could use to get a plane ticket? I can see it now, theNXTstep, corporate blogging ;-)

2012 is a big year. Turn on the news, and the discussion is probably about some aspect of the presidential race between Democrat President Barack Obama and Republican Nominee Mitt Romney – ranging from their positions on the big issues to what they were wearing last night. Not all of it is big and life changing, but it all contributes to the discussion about a major event that will affect the lives of every American.
Yet that's not exactly the case here at Wilson. While occasionally something will pop up on the Facebook newsfeed, political views tend to get put on the sideline here – and that's not necessarily a good thing. Many students say, "I just don't like politics," or "I just vote for whomever my parents vote for." Getting involved and learning about what's going on is important, especially when it involves electing the person who will be the leader of our country for the next four years.
Being informed doesn't just have to be on a national level – it can be on a much more local and immediate level, such as right here at our own college. For example, this past spring students learned that due to a number of administrative decisions, the week between the end of finals and graduation (known as Senior Week) was going to be no more, with graduation occurring the day after the end of finals, in the process eliminating a number of traditions that occur during that week. To try and fight back, a sit-in was scheduled in April to be held on the Green – yet only a fraction of the student body showed up for this event. Here was an event that would have an immediate impact on the community, and only a fraction of our voices were making themselves heard.
Many Wilson community members probably don't even realize what decision was reached. It was decided that finals would be moved ahead by a day so that the Friday of finals week will be free to do all the events that normally occur throughout the span of Senior Week. This upcoming May will be the first experience of this change – we will have to wait and see how it turns out.
Some community members have voiced their concerns about issues on campus, but only in passing. Only a few have actually taken their concerns and acted on them, like the students who organized the sit-in. The Wilson community has so many outlets available to them where they can make their voices heard and express their opinion, but we rarely take advantage of our opportunities. You don't have to resort to sitting at the table in the dining hall stating how you dislike something and it will never change – it can! Make a petition, organize a meeting, go to a WCGA event, and ask questions if there's something you want to know more about. The Letters to the Editor section of Billboard has not been seen in the past few years because no one has written anything for us to publish – it's still here, and waiting to reappear in our publication.
At the very least, inform yourself about what is going on, and have the ability to decide for yourself how important an issue is to you. Now is an important time to make your voice heard. The Commission on Shaping the Future of Wilson College is currently researching ways to allow the college to thrive in the future, and looking at some large changes to Wilson in order for this to happen - including the possibility of admitting male residential students.
There's a reason we're known as Wild Wilson Women. It began with a group of alumnae who used their voices to save the college from closing in 1979. We can continue to make our voices heard now to ensure our college and its beloved traditions continue to survive into the future.

The weather has certainly played havoc with Southeastern Conference football teams trying to prepare for season-opening games and it caused the postponement of one of those outings.
The Texas A&M Aggies were hoping to get a jump on everyone else in the SEC with a game against Louisiana Tech in Shreveport, La., tonight (Thursday).
Due to a storm called Isaac, the game has been moved to Oct. 13.
The Aggies were supposed to have left for Shreveport Wednesday, but head coach Kevin Sumlin and his staff learned right before practice Tuesday that the plans had changed.
Although disappointed with the news, Sumlin said on Wednesday's SEC teleconference that the team has moved on and started preparations for Florida on Sept. 8.
"It's a bittersweet situation because the guys were ready to play somebody else," Sumlin said. "They were down a little bit yesterday, but as we talked to them about where we are right now, we're moving on to Florida. That's where our focus is right now."
The most difficult thing for the Texas A&M coaches is adjusting the schedule after learning 24 hours before leaving to get on a plane for a game.
Sumlin could sense a little bit of a letdown from everyone at practice.
"Because all of the time and effort you put into something, you kind of build emotionally to play a game," Sumlin said.
The LSU Tigers were forced to cancel Wednesday's practice because of Isaac, but were still scheduled to open their season against North Texas at home Saturday.
In a weather issue not related to Isaac, the Georgia Bulldogs had to practice in a rainstorm Tuesday.
Even though the conditions were not ideal, it gave head coach Mark Richt an idea of how the Bulldogs would respond in those situations.
"It was good test for us to see if we could handle a wet ball," Richt said. "Quite frankly, we didn't handle it all that well. At least, we know what that's all about if it does rain this weekend."
Georgia hosts Buffalo in its first game Saturday.
"We're like everyone else," Richt said. "We're ready to play somebody and ready to hit somebody that doesn't have a 'G' on their helmet. I'm anxious to see what we look like."
MSU's Mullen wants
improved run defense
The Mississippi State defense allowed 153.5 yards per game on the ground last season and coach Dan Mullen would like to improve on that this season.
In order for that to happen, he said some young defensive lineman are going to have to step up and fill the gaps.
"We have some talented defensive linemen, but a lot of youth so they are going to have to come up and make plays early on," Mullen said. "The fact we have a little bit more experience at linebacker is certainly going to help with that front seven."
Mullen happy to have
Brewster as WR coach
Although there has been a little bit of transition, Mullen is happy to have a coach with the experience and knowledge of Tim Brewster on his staff to coach the receivers.
Brewster, who was added to the Mississippi State last week, has head-coaching experience at Minnesota and has also coached professionally in San Diego and Denver.
"When you have a guy that's the professional that he is, he's in here picking it up," Mullen said. of Brewster. "He knows the game of football and knows what he's doing as a coach. There's also going to be the language barrier, the things he's working through and how we're calling things, but the fact we have an experienced group of receivers will help make the whole situation a little bit easier. I see a pretty easy transition on game day."
Phillips doesn't see
run of games as bad
With the postponement of Texas A&M's opener to Oct. 13, that means the Aggies have to play 12-straight weeks without an open date.
Kentucky coach Joker Phillips said his program has been in that same situation before and that teams just need to learn how to handle it in the right way.
"It's good to have a break, but you have to sell to your team that we have to play again, again and again," Phillips said. "This is such a brutal game that you have to stay healthy and a break in between allows you to get some guys healthy."View more articles in:

Today high resolution camera's produces heavy files especially if you shoot RAW. Further, if you're the one who shoots videos(720p or 1080p) with your DSLR then you know how quickly your card gets packed to the brim. The best way to offload this data off your memory card to your computer is by using a card reader. A cheap card reader would work well for most cases but also in most cases it would take a long time to do its job.

Two months after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and began hemorrhaging oil off the Louisiana coast, Fort Walton Beach resident Cheryl Malagday's world fell apart.
As oil poured into the Gulf of Mexico and news reports of soiled beaches spread, Northwest Florida's tourist-driven summer economy dried up.
On June 30, 2010, Malagday was laid off from a decorating job at a local furniture store, and contracts she'd established were lost as the fortunes of businesses she dealt with turned south.
"I lost my job, career and life on June 30, 2010, due to the BP oil spill," she told Congressman Jeff Miller in a letter.
Her letter wasn't written in 2010, but on Sept. 21, more than two years after BP famously promised to "make it right" and hired New York Attorney Kenneth Feinberg to address damage claims filed by Malagday and thousands like her.
Feinberg passed out about $6 million of $20 billion BP set aside to address claims before he was sent packing. But Malagday said BP is yet to make anything right for her.
"They have given me the runaround," she said.
Feinberg's replacement, Patrick Juneau, has created a new matrix for determining and paying valid claims, but Malagday said she fears it is as convoluted and poorly administered as the original process.
"Someone needs to just do some fact finding," she said. "I want my life to be back to normal. It's time."
Malagday said she tried to work through Feinberg's Gulf Coast Claims Facility. But as she said in her letter to Miller, "it was a difficult process and so many people were turned down that I admit to finally giving up."
On June 4 of this year, she returned to the Gulf Coast Claims Center at 348 Miracle Strip Parkway in Fort Walton Beach, determined to work through Juneau's version of the claims process.
Malagday said her claims packet sat for four days before anyone in Fort Walton Beach put it in the mail, and a month later claims administrators in Louisiana "had not even started reading the claim."
"They wouldn't say why. They wouldn't give me a reason," she said. "I don't know if my claim is No. 1 or 300 or 1,213, or if I could be completely lost."
Malagday is hardly alone. John Rose, who owns a real estate appraisal business, left the Fort Walton Beach Claims Center late Thursday afternoon shaking his head.
"I'm convinced they're playing a waiting game," he said. "They're friendly and cooperative as they can be. The question is, what's going on at the other end?
"I've got my suspicions," Rose said.
Also similar to the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, the settlement group under Juneau appears eager to avoid media scrutiny.
William Busbee, a manager of the claims center in Fort Walton Beach, declined Thursday to provide any information about center's operations. He provided a reporter two media contact phone numbers and an email address.
One phone number connected to a fax machine and the second was disconnected. The email bounced back as undeliverable.
State Rep. Doug Broxson of Gulf Breeze has been battling since 2010 to help Northwest Florida residents recover losses. He has met personally with Juneau.
He's been told the new claims administrator, who's been in place since March 8, is still training close to 500 employees to implement his system.
In the meantime, little claims processing is getting done.
"I've heard a lot of complaints. They really haven't paid anything out yet," Broxson said. "Some people are wishing they had Feinberg back."
Glenn Gillyard, an accountant for the firm of Carr Riggs and Ingram, checked the Deepwater Horizon claims settlement website and reported, as of Sept. 4, 60,565 claims had been filed since Juneau took over. A little more than 20,000 of those claims were filed in Florida.
Of the total claims filed, "roughly 3,000 have been approved to be paid," Gillyard said. "And 582 have been paid."
"We have not heard of anybody getting a check yet," Gillyard said.
Gillyard, whose firm works with attorneys and has handled thousands of oil spill claims, said the Juneau system of establishing valid claims should actually work better than the Feinberg plan.
It groups claimants into "zones" and processes them accordingly. Those in Northwest Florida with homes or businesses south of U.S. Highway 98 fall into Zone A. Those in Zone A don't have to show "causation" to prove oil spill damages, Gillyard said.
Residents and businesses outside Zone A have a greater burden of proof to show damages, Gillyard said, but the Juneau plan provides a "claimant friendly" mathematical formula that should open up the claims process to a lot of people.
"What they're trying to do is make the whole system objective, consistent and clear, unlike the Feinberg system that had no rhyme or reason," he said. "I think he has done a reasonable job of doing that."
Gillyard said people and businesses who were denied by the Gulf Coast Claims Facility or who never filed a claim could be eligible for reimbursement for losses under the Juneau plan.
"We're picking up about 50 to 100 clients per week in new claims as people realize 'I can file on this thing,' " he said.
Broxson said a meeting has been set for 10 a.m. Oct. 9 at the Pensacola State College auditorium for Juneau to meet with local officials and the news media to roll out his plans.
The hope is cash will start flowing soon after that meeting.
"They've got to get to the payment part, and we really expect to see checks coming out pretty soon," said the admittedly optimistic Gillyard.

Life Lessons in EthiopiaPosted on Thursday, August 8th, 2013 at 10:51 am
By Amanda Ruckel, Education Officer, Concern Worldwide U.S.
Driving through the mountains of Ethiopia from the capital, Addis Ababa, to the northern region of Wollo, one cannot help but be impressed by the towering trees, the green, rolling hills, and the cool, crisp mountain air. Prior to traveling to Ethiopia, I had heard it was a beautiful country, but I soon realized pictures and anecdotes couldn't do justice to the sheer beauty of the country that is known as the birthplace of humanity.
I traveled with two other Concern Worldwide staff members from Dublin and New York, one student and teacher from the United States and four students and two teachers from Ireland. The students who participated were fairly familiar with Concern's work overseas, as the Irish students had debated development issues over the past year and had won the national Concern debates and the American student, Stachel, is a member of the Global Concerns Classroom (GCC) Club at her school and has served as a student leader for the past two years. Together, we spent six days visiting several different Concern programs and learning more about the rich Ethiopian culture.

Beneath that stern, intimidating glare and impressive stature is a man with few equals in the realm of cylinder head expertise. There are probably a few people who know more about cylinder heads than Judson Massingill, but since none of them are willing to talk, their existence is inconsequential. That's not exactly PC, but maybe it's just Judson's 100-percent B.S.-free demeanor rubbing off on us.
If you want answers, this straight-shooting Texan will give 'em to you in pure, unadulterated, and unfiltered form. Best of all, he's usually right. If you aren't familiar with the name Judson Massingill, there's no need to question his credentials. He and his wife Linda run the School of Automotive Machinists in Houston. The school's unique curriculum is strictly dedicated to the art of building high-end race engines. So successful is the program that some of the top race teams in the country, like Hendrick Motorsports, John Force Racing, Cosworth Engineering, Warren Johnson Enterprises, and DEI, all rely on Judson's graduates to put them in the winner's circle, and Nextel Cup teams enlist him to do development work on their heads.
Judson got his start like most hot-rodders, building engines in his garage and testing them on the street and at the track. Always pushing the envelope, he combined his street savvy with a university education in the quest to build more potent motors. In the heyday of the musclecar era, Judson prevailed in enough street skirmishes to pay for school with his illicit earnings. He was soon building engines professionally, but got sick of spending years training employees only to watch them quit and start their own shops. Realizing he was essentially training people for free who later became his competition, he turned that concept into a business by starting up a hard-core vocational school. Here are his words on cylinders heads, ranging from the most basic of principles to the most advanced of theories.
One of the more controversial areas of cylinder head theory is swirl, but it's a concept that packs more hype than substance. Swirl proponents say it contributes to a more homogenized air/fuel mixture, which eliminates lean pockets and reduces the potential of detonation. However, Judson isn't too convinced of its merits. "Experts can't even agree on how to accurately measure swirl, and every device that measures swirl affects it somehow," he says. "Promoting swirl adversely affects inertia and flow. While it may help with gas mileage, emissions, and to some degree power, optimizing quench is a much more effective method of homogenizing the air/fuel mixture without the adverse effects in airflow associated with swirl." In other words, quench trumps swirl every day of the week.
