President Goodluck Jonathan Monday condoled with the family of Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, over the death of his daughter, Iyetade, describing her demise as unfortunate.
Also, Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, commiserated with Soyinka, stating that his daughter's death was most regrettable. Jonathan in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, said: "On behalf of himself and the federal government, President Goodluck Jonathan extends sincere condolences to Prof. Wole Soyinka and other members of the Soyinka family on the death of the Nobel laureate's daughter, Iyetade at the age of 48."
While noting that Iyetade's untimely death at such a young age must have been quite painful for Soyinka and his family, Jonathan prayed that God Almighty will comfort the Nobel Laureate and all others who mourn his late daughter.
The president urged them to take solace in the belief that Iyetade had gone away from all earthly troubles to rest for eternity in God's bosom.
On his part, Amosun expressed his deepest condolences to Soyinka, describing the death of Iyetade as "most unfortunate and regrettable."
In a press release signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mrs. Funmi Wakama, Amosun said: "It is most unfortunate that the cold hands of death has snatched away Dr. Iyetade Soyinka, at the prime of her life, when her knowledge and expertise would have been invaluable to her immediate family and the society at large. "Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Professor Wole Soyinka and his family at this trying period, although we know that only God can comfort him," the governor said.
Amosun, who also extended his heartfelt condolences to the mother, children and other family members of the deceased, prayed to almighty God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Meanwhile, Soyinka's family yesterday formally announced the passing away of their daughter, Iyetade, who died after a brief illness at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan.
A statement from the family said: "She took ill quite suddenly and passed away while being treated at UCH, Ibadan. Affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious, who struggled with her health in recent years. In spite of this, she greeted every day with a smile and doted on her two children."
The deceased, who left behind two children, both parents, numerous siblings, nieces and nephews, was born on June 6, 1965 in Ibadan. She attended Staff School and Queens School, Ibadan before reading Medicine at the University of Ibadan (UI).


text: The Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare wiki last edited by CornBREDX on 06/05/15 08:54PM View full history StoryCharles Fiske, Edward Carnby's partner and best friend has been reported dead off the coast of Shadow Island. Carnby decides to investigate his best friend's death which leads him to meet with Frederick Johnson, Johnson informs Carnby of three ancient stone tablets that Fiske was searching for. The tablets are believed to unlock some form of incredibly dangerous power. Johnson requests that Carnby should take up Fiske's investigation and to search for the tablets. Carnby accepts that it is his personal priority however, is to find whoever killed Fiske. Johnson introduces Carnby to Aline Cedrac, a young and intelligent university professor. Aline accompanies Carnby to Shadow Island to help recover the tablets as well as to assist Professor Obed Morton, who she believes is her long-lost father. As their plane nears the coast of Shadow Island, it comes under attack by a creature of the island, which forces them to parachute out of the plane. They are seperated, Aline landing atop the roof of a mansion and Carnby landing in some woods nearby.CharactersEdward CarnbyCarnby.A thrity-three year old private eye, Edward Carnby travelled to Shadow Island to discover what exactly happened to his best friend, Charles Fiske, when Fiske was found dead on Shadow Island. As Carnby becomes more involved with the events taking place on Shadow Island, he becomes less interested in his initial goals and concentrates on finding a way off the island and to ensure Aline's safety.Aline CedracAline.A 27 year old Ethnology Professor at Boston Universtity, Aline Cedrac travelled to Shadow Island to help Professor Obed Morton decipher Abkannis writing tablets as well as to search for the identity of her father.EdenshawThe last Abkannis witchdocotor, Edenshaw came to Shadow Island many years ago and has lived with the Morton family ever since. Edenshaw has watched over the Morton family for many years and has made it his mission to ensure that the gate to the World of Darkness is never opened. Edenshaw acts as an assistant to the player and will appear every now and again to reveal information that may or may not be necessary to the player. He plays a major role towards the end of the game.Edward MortonInitially Edward assisted his brother in attempting to open the gate to the World of Darkness and made deals with Christopher Lamb in order to gain 'supplies' that he required in order to make further progress. Edward was revered by many for his work on the Abkannis tribe, though they were unaware of his methods of discovery. After a period of time, Edward realised just how terrible the things he was doing were and turned against his brother, Adam, refusing to assist him.GameplayEach protaganist's gameplay differs in terms of the amount of action and puzzle related gameplay that the player will face with Carnby being the more action-orientated portion of the game and Aline's being more puzzle-orientated. Though the player can chose between either protaganist the stories of each of the characters both occur at the same time and interwoven together. Though there is no major difference in terms of how each character is controlled.The New Nightmare has often been compared to the Resident Evil franchaise as it bares many resemblances such as the changing camera view as well as searching for ammo and health packs in order to survive.PortsGame Boy ColorAlone In The Dark: The New Nightmare was ported to the Game Boy Color by Pocket Studios and was first released in Europe alongside its console counterparts on May 18, 2001. The port was later released in America on June 25, 2001.When Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare was ported to the Game Boy Color the handheld could not handle the 3D environments of the game, so the 3D was abandoned in favor of 2D sprites. The Game Boy Color received a relatively faithful port of the home console game. While the home console versions could be completed in six to eight hours, the Game Boy Color port could be completed in just one.FilmIn 2005, a film adaptation directed by infamous Uwe Boll was released based on the video game series. The movie was supposed to be a direct sequel to the fourth game in the series, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, although the movie has little-to-no relation to the original trilogy of games from the 1990s. The movie contains plot elements that directly contradict those in The New Nightmare, thus it is not considered canonical. The movie was named the "Lowest-Grossing Game Based Movie" in the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008 edition.PC Minimum System RequirementsWindows XP / Vista1 GHz processor (1.4 GHz recommended)256MB RAM (512MB recommended)3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)MouseKeyboard

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) July 08, 2014
The CIS market for insulin and insulin products is expected to reach USD 3,008.5 million by 2020 growing at a CAGR of 15.0%, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The presence of an extensive pipeline portfolio of products exhibiting higher efficacies and their subsequent commercialization over the next six years is expected to serve this market as a high impact rendering driver. The introduction of government initiatives aimed at improving the affordability of insulin via price reduction, such as the collaboration between the government of Ukraine and Indar to reduce the price of insulin by 20% in 2013 is expected to have positive influence on demand. Some of the other drivers of this market include increasing attempts made by manufacturers to capitalize on the untapped opportunities by opening new manufacturing units to improve the supply of insulin and growing incidence rates of type II diabetes are some of the factors expected to fuel future market growth.

Europe has started since the '80s with the preparatory work done on NET, the Next European Torus, the successor of JET, to prepare for the construction of the next generation experiment on the road to the fusion reactor. In 2000 the European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) has been signed by sixteen countries, including Switzerland, not a member of the Union. Now the signatory countries have increased to twenty-five. A vigorous programme of design and R&D in support of ITER construction has been conducted by EFDA through the coordinated effort of the national institutes and laboratories supported financially, in the framework of the VI European Framework Research Programme (2002-2006), by contracts of association with EURATOM. In the last three years, with the expenditure of 160 M[Euro], the accent has been particularly put on the preparation of the industrial manufacturing activities of components and systems for ITER. Prototypes and manufacturing methods have been developed in all the main critical areas of machine construction with the objective of providing sound and effective solutions: vacuum vessel, toroidal field coils, poloidal field coils, remote handling equipment, plasma facing components and divertor components, electrical power supplies, generators and power supplies for the Heating and Current Drive Systems and other minor subsystems.Europe feels to be ready to host the ITER site and to provide adequate support and guidance for the success of construction to our partners in the ITER collaboration, wherever needed.

Praline's gorgeous Polpo publication bucks the trend for run-of-the-mill cookbooks
For all the incessant heralding of the rise of the foodies and the Instagram-fuelled fetishisation of everything and anything that ends up on a plate, it's still surprisingly rare to come across a real well-designed cook book. Bucking that disappointing trend however is Praline's beautiful creation for Russell Norman's Polpo empire which has been at the forefront of London's recent restaurant revival.
The combination of deconstructed, spineless format (practical for real-life kitchen use), old Venetian typefaces and beautiful photography come together to create not only an intoxicating hymn to Russell's stripped-back foodie philosophy but a gorgeous and unfussy object in its own right. In fact so special is it as an object that the tome has just been named Book of the Year by Waterstones, whose judges praised the fact that in the age of the Kindle, "(Polpo) can only be properly appreciated in its printed form."
Other cookbooks take note, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

I got hooked on hunting crows with a rifle when I lived in Uniontown. Central Maryland is smack in the middle of one of the nation's largest crow flyways.
Back in the 1940s and 1950s, during the height of crow hunting popularity, New Windsor, Uniontown, Taneytown and Silver Run were hotbeds of crow-hunting activity. Crows were gunned by the thousands and town shoots were common.

Glamour Women of the year awards: Julia Roberts, Fergie, Cher and Hillary Swank
We never ever thought we'd be writing this, but it seems someone might just be stealing Lady Gaga's funky fashion crown – well for performance costumes anyway.
So whose the contender? Black Eyed Pea's Fergie.
Now we know that stage costumes are usually out of this world (think Rihanna right through to Girls Aloud) and are a perfect way for singers to express themselves, but we think Fergies outfit, complete with Gaga style sharp shoulders, is a hot competitor to Ms G's look.
And we have to admit Fergie wears the space age silver top, complete with Madonna style bosom cups, really well.
But has she gone far enough to beat Lady Gaga's Armani Prive designed costumes? Let us know what you think by leaving your comments below.
Kim from our U.K. fashion blog, Catwalk Queen, writes:
The list of glitterati who will be attending next Monday's Met Costume Institute Gala continues to be revealed. We already mentioned that our very own Tilda Swinton will be dressed by Miuccia Prada.
Well, no surprises with the latest news that old pals Katie Holmes and hubby Tom Cruise will be accompanied by co-chair Giorgio Armani.
From our U.K. sister site, Catwalk Queen.
Tilda Swinton has been invited to attend this year's highly anticipated Met Costume Institute Ball by Miuccia Prada. The Oscar-winner will join US actress Kate Banks in accompanying the designer to the superhero-themed do.
They are just a few in a long-list of top designers and A-list celebs who will appear at the annual event next month in New York. Titbits about who will be wearing what are beginning to trickle through with other star/designer hook-ups including Liv Tyler and Fergie, who will both be dressed and accompanied by Francisco Costa.

Hot on the heels of Fergie's gig as the newest face of MAC's Viva Glam campaign, come whispers that she has signed on to be a Calvin Klein spokesmodel.
Personally, I can kind of see the MAC association better than the Calvin Klein one. While the singer looked great at the Grammys in one of his designs, the classic minimalist look isn't usually her signature style statement.
I guess Calvin disagrees because sources at the company have described Fergie as "a perfect fit", according to OK!. The source said that Fergie is "beautiful and fun and brings a lot to the brand."
If the rumours are true, the Black Eyed Pea will join Eva Mendes, who has already been signed up for CK's new fragrance campaign.
It's great that Calvin Klein is using more ethnic, curvy models as opposed to the pale waifs of yore, but it might take a little while for the fashion community to adjust to the switch.
Spring brights were blooming at the Grammy Awards tonight, with several songstresses donning bold color. Corinne Bailey Rae wore a short, electric blue frock, as did Rihanna in Zac Posen. In a violent violet, Natasha Bedingfield seems to be enjoying her Reem Acra gown. And lastly, Fergie set off her tan with a yellow Calvin Klein number.

Fergie and Taylor Swift were both sporting some sexy legwear as they announced the Grammy Award nominations yesterday. The Black Eyed Peas singer had on some sexy thigh-high boots, while the country crooner sported booties and striped tights. We can expect lots more fashion to come when nominees like Amy Winehouse (record of the year, album of the year), Beyonce (record of the year), and Rihanna (record of the year) rock the red carpet.
Movies Rock, much like Fashion Rocks, is a celebration of music in film and was held at the Kodak Theatre last night. Singers and actors mingled on the red carpet, while songs from popular movies were performed by the likes of Mary J. Blige, Fergie and Jennifer Lopez. For the blonde stars on the red carpet, it seems that a black dress was the essential item, though in Jennifer Morrison's case it was a black jumpsuit. Diane Kruger showed off her legs in a strapless black mini dress, accessorised with a silver clutch, red lipstick and black Manolo Blahniks. Alicia Silverstone chose a drop waist handkerchief hem black dress, with Jennifer Morrison choosing a dramatic black jumpsuit with very wide legs. Click on over to Catwalk Queen to see whos look Helen liked best.

Check out this interview from Guardian Unlimited with Stacy 'Fergie' Ferguson on how she wears whatever she feels like. That's definitely a major part of fashion–dress in clothes you feel comfortable wearing. You don't always have to play up to the latest trends. If you've found something that works for you–then wear it! It's all a matter of confidence. The more confident you feel in your clothes, the better you'll look in them. I mean, look at Fergie in a white t-shirt, shorts and black vest. Very simple outfit, right? But she pulls it off–she has such personality, that she makes even a simple tee and shorts look fashionable. And again, performing at a concert, she's wearing basic Bermuda shorts and a checkered belly shirt, but she spices it up with a hardware-accented belt and black blazer to make it her own funky style. Take a look at Fergie's designer dress after the jump.
Fergie has these panties, you say? These Steven Alan ruffle panties are peppy and playful, yet sexy and innocent at the same time. They're 100% cotton, super comfortable and perfect under a skirt when you're afraid you might flash someone–get your own pair for $38. I'm getting into the whole 'more is really more' thing when it comes to my unmentionables and I'm starting to think that my collection of G-strings may be put into retirement soon if I keep finding cute and sexy full panties like these!
Fergie suffers from a common affliction known to many otherwise pretty girls who decide to dabble in the questionable world of headwear. Is this 80s hat an homage to Boy George in Culture Club? Wearing trends are good. When trends wear you, you know you've gone too far. Fergie is a trendazoid who wears about 20 trends at a time, thinking that too much of a good thing is never enough. However, this 80s hat is way too trendy to the point of looking utterly fergidiculous.

What an extraordinary family. Thank you for sharing yours with all of ours.
Dropped cable/satellite a few months ago for Roku, and haven't regretted it. Sports is an admittedly big hole, but even with Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant, my annual cost is about two months worth of cable or satellite. And we watch less TV, and better, because we sit down to watch shows we MEAN to watch, not just killing an hour with "whatever's on." We've also find great stuff on a lot of smaller Roku channels.

TAGAL, it's a comic strip comment space. Comment or don't comment and move on. "She" may not have feelings, but the people posting here do, so if you don't care, why take the time to bash people who do?

Multo.com is an authorized ROKU developer, as well as a channel designer with Streamstor/IMAVEX.
Do you have a library of content? Do you have an audience, large or small? Do you have a brand or product you'd like to sell? Do you want to livestream as well as video on demand your content?
Multo.com can help you develop ROKU channels, manage them, and monetize them.
Broadcasting has changed drastically with set top boxes. Now, access is readily available for the independent content creator to also become their own broadcaster. Ever wanted to own a TV station? Its possible, affordable and profitable!
Here's some simple math:
- a subscription model of video on demand (VOD) content may cost $4.99/month per subscriber – nominal fee, costing $59.88 a year
- 1000 subscribers will equal $4990 per month, $59,880 per year
- the typical cost of setting up a channel is $5,000 to $10,000 one time fee
- the typical monthly cost of channel per month is $500
- so for a set up cost of $10k, and yearly operations cost of $6k, the total cost to run a channel is $16k
- this model, without advertising or media buys yet, is profiting at $43,880, which can go to creating or licensing new content and livestreams
- sponsors and advertisers will purchase media buys and impressions at the same rate as online, but get full real estate video advertising akin to mainstream broadcast media
- additional advertising and ad sales models exist for niche content, depending on audience size
But we don't stop there – the content and channel design for ROKU can be ported to other devices and services, as they become available. Your content could be on every platform the comes out, once the video settings are available. From phones to TVs, your content is as flexible as your audience.

Buying into a Cessna 150?
So I am getting back into it, looking at a share in a 150(cheapest way to stay current for me). I know there are a bunch of pilots lurking around here.
What should I look for before buying in? Any very important questions I should not miss?

Buying in is cheap; getting out ain't.
Our family had a mid 1970 Cherokee for about 35 years. I never actually owned it, just had custody of it. Few items: can you get/afford insurance. Where is it going to be hangared, controlled field or grass strip. Big difference in hassles before you get in the air. Partners; can they really(also you)afford this luxury and what happens when budget, divorce ,job change/relocation, accident occur to one of the partners. You should have an attorney put the agreement together; entry and exit requirements. Spouses will want new paint job, interior, headsets/intercomms installed on POS airplane or else they are not going to beach, ballgame, etc. because it stinks, looks like dodo, or the seat is uncomfortable and noisy. Friend in our flight dept. got involved with long time friends in airplane and seems every month a new expense cropped up. Finally got to the point they were spending way more than expected and that left little of the money to actually buy fuel and use the airplane as they had dreamed. Took him several years to get out of the parternship and he ran away poorer and wiser. Are you going to have an escrow for when it really hits the fan and needs major money to be/stay airworthy? I soloed in 1967. I ran the last shut down checklist and walked down the stairs in 2011. Never saw anything cheap in aviation. Just poor people trying to get in or get out.

Good advice above. Buying it is cheap, but keeping not so much. The insurance on a 150 is no big deal, 800 year for a qualified pilot. I work for a major underwriter. The maintenance will kill you. Plus a C150 is a useless airplane unless you want to fly 75 miles for breakfast. The novelty wears off quick and if there are partners there are problems. An overhaul on an O200 is 15k from a decent shop. GA is in a pretty bad spot, and will probably disappear in my lifetime.. I'm 36.

My flying buddy just picked up a nice 150 for $15,500. Low time engine and airframe. IFR certified last fall. 2 KX155's one with GS. Garmin audio panel....Needs paint badly. I flew it back from Indy and it was good. Good deals are out there. If you are good with a wrench and know you r A&P/IA you could do an owner assisted annual......Car gas and an open T-hangar. Plan on 6 gallon an hour......Do it. You ain't getting any younger.

With a little spreadsheet work you can calculate the rent -vs- own break point. Years ago, it was around 50 hours per year.
Once (long ago) I calculated the cost per hour including maintenance, hangar, insurance, fuel, blah, blah - I have never fully recovered and will never do that again. I don't need to thinking this flight costed x dollars.
Good advise above about ins, outs, legalities etc.
I will add
- I'm a small guy and a C150 is small.
- Do it for you and only you. I've seen many a pilot get a plane thinking they will fly the country with their SOs, spouses etc - rarely happens.

Tough to find one that doesn't have bazillion hours and was used as a trainer at one time (multiple landings with each try). If you find one that's been in private hands most of it's life and decently maintained...jump on it.

Flying is amazing fun. I'd second Beemer Bob. Maint isn't cheap but isn't a complete killer either, especially on a simple plane like a 150 (fixed gear, fixed prop, 4 small cyls to keep alive, etc.). I'm not sure the cost savings is worth partnership on something like a 150 unless hanger space is really pricy in your area. I don't own and have only flown a little (brit glider rating, the odd spin in powered stuff stateside). One other direction is experimental. You can generally do much more of your own maint. work and greatly reduce cost (assuming you are mechanically inclined in this direction).
I haven't flown a 150 but have flown 172s, aero commander 100s, 182s, some funny little low-wing french plane (great fun) and several others. I'd worry that a 150 would be awfully small if you think you might want to take someone else along regularly. Often less-common brand planes will get you more plane with fewer hours for less money. For example there's an IFR Aero Commander Lark 180 on Barnstormers for $23k with <2k hours. I've flown one before, almost indistinguishable from a 172. Maybe a couple mph slower and a smidge more room inside.

Probably an important question is, current at what? 90 day T/O and Ldngs, hauling pax,BFR(or whatever they call it now), IFR currency, FAR 61.58 PIC? Are you trying to stay proficient or current? Two entirely different beasts. Two entirely different methods to solution.

I've never done a partnership, heard way too many horror stories. But I did belong to a flying club in FL where you had the option to pay certain tiered fees that would bring down your hourly rate. I never paid in, just rented at a slight discount for being a local student.
That was in Daytona Beach, which has a huge number of flight students. I have no idea where you live but if you're close to an airport with a lot of training activities going on you might find a similar flight club, the people involved in them are more into building time than going on $100 Hamburger runs. So you're not going to have as much of the Momma wants the plane to look nice drama going on.
LSA or Experimental would be another way to go cheap as BikePilot said. The 150 isn't too far off from a LSA so if you're happy with the 150 that might be a route to consider. It's such a shame that the costs of flying got so out of control after 9/11 and now with the fuel being so pricey it's even worse.

Aeronca Champ can be LSA and I think so is a Taylorcraft. I put that out there because if you're going to be cramped (like you will in a 150) these are more fun, and probably not any more to maintain (if the skin is fresh). I find 150's a fun plane to fly if: The combined weight of the two aboard (and "baggage") is less than 275 pounds, and the flight is less than 40 minutes. Kinda limiting. I know people fly them IFR too. That could get...interesting.
I don't know where the OP is from, if you want local flights or slow cross country down low in low terrain then it might be a contender, its nice to have a high wing for shade and to look at the world go by at 1500 AGL.. I am thinking like SC to FL and into LA, that sort of terrain. They are very anemic out west around mountains/altitude, especially in any sort of higher than standard temps.

How many partners? When do they fly? If everyone wants it on the weekends it might be a pita. My father was in a club for several years, they had a 182, a Cherokee IIRC, and a Citabria. He later got into a partnership with 3 others in a 172. One partner only used it Monday thru Friday for work (he was a photographer), the other 2 guys almost never flew and my Dad had it pretty much every weekend. So I think scheduling / access is a factor to consider, lots of ways to set it up. This was back in the 70's so obviously things are different now.
A 150/152 is going to be pretty inexpensive (as flying goes) because your splitting the fixed costs with others (hanger, annual, insurance, engine reserve, avionics). But you all need to be on the same page. If everyone is cool with flying a safe reliable airplane and not worried about having the latest and greatest radios / navigators / paint and cosmetics, you will be able to fly as cheap as anyone. Find a shade hanger, find a good A&P / IA who will let you all help with the maintenance and annuals. Put a few bucks back for every hour flown into an engine kitty (for the next OH) and decide how you'll handle unexpected expenses, like a cracked cylinder, a dead radio, or a new AD (unlikely in that airplane).
Flying has never been cheap, but a low-tech VFR aircraft with a couple partners should be in the reach of many pilots. Especially if you're willing to get your hands dirty, and have someone to help you. And if you buy the right airplane, and keep it well maintained and don't get crazy with farkles, it's very likely you'll be able to get most of your money out of it when the time comes to sell.
A couple other things to consider are the cost of data and the future of Avgas. One of my biggest expenses is keeping the data bases up to date for my navigators (GPS) and weather for IFR flying. I have been using iPads for my charts and approach plates so I don't have my paper map subscriptions anymore, but keeping the GPS units updated is expensive. If you're flying strictly VFR then you won't have that concern. And whatever happens with Avgas, a 150/152 should be ok. Fuel is NOT the biggest expense when you own an airplane.
My first airplane was a P model 182, the most airplane I could afford at the time without having a partner. Back in 1990 when I bought it I was flying 300 hours a year, so I didn't want a partner. My next aircraft was a Piper Aztec, which I flew for 15 years. I recently sold that and am back in an S model 182. I've been very fortunate over the years that the "older " pilots at my airport took me under their wing and showed me the ropes of maintenance and repairs, overhauling engines, etc, and I've always had a good A&P and IA that supervised my work. Now that I'm not flying as much (about 100 hours a year) I'd love to have the right partner to share the costs and help with the airplane. But the more complex the airplane, the more compatible the partner(s) need to be.
Good luck, I say go for it!
Edit - a 150/152 can be a capable cross country aircraft. I have flown them to the Bahamas (from the west coast of FL), to NC and all over FL. Back when I was renting, and the trip was more important than the destination, I preferred to rent the 152's over the bigger and faster planes. I was building time anyway, and was never in a hurry to get where I'm going. Kinda like my moto trips. Then I went through a time in my life when I needed to be able to haul 4 - 5 passengers and cruise at 200 mph. Now I'm back to the "no hurry" mode. For years when I was flying my Aztec, I had access to a low time 150 that the owner didnt fly anymore - lost medical. I'd take that out on a trip at least once a month, and loved every minute of it.

I've had four airplanes. Two solo, two in partnership. My partnerships were awesome. Remember a good understanding makes for a long friendship.
- Be honest with yourself on everything involving purchase
- Be realistic as to your mission
- AOPA has a new page concerning flying clubs
-- Lots of good info, go read it
--- All of it
- Put everything in writing
- Use realistic cost estimates
-- Then provide a cushion above that
- Train
-- Really

Whatever you buy, I would be sure it was able to be certified for operation on auto Gas, that will save you bucks when you can get it.
The only downside I can think of is the limited load capacity of a 150/2 - Can you put two real people, baggage and full fuel into it? If not, then I suggest going up to a 172, not much more complicated if at all, but it comes at a higher fuel burn.
My dad and I had a Varga Kachina 180 HP two seater and we used it a lot - I flew it all over the western US, twice to Oshkosh. But when he started wanting to actually travel, he bought a Bonanza A36TC, then a Piper Malibu, Serial no. 12...I liked the Bonanza better but damn that Malibu was incredible. It cost a fortune to keep that in the air though.
I quit flying due to cost a couple decades ago. I sometimes miss it, but a few years ago got my ticket renewed and found that I'd lost my taste for it - perhaps it was the 1958 Piper Heap I was rented.

Using Backlight for Dramatic Portraits
I have been exploring backlight lately. Any light coming from behind the subject can be considered backlight. Backlight that is two or more f/stops brighter than the exposure on the camera will record the subject as a silhouette.
I decided to do a shoot in the studio featuring this dreamy light. I set up a couple of Chimera 82″ by 42″ V-Flats and lit them with a Dynalite studio head shining into each one. The V-Flats are placed at a 45º angle to the white wall in the background. I hung a couple of sheer curtains on a background stand cross bar behind my model Vanessa. She's standing about three feet in front of them. The light coming from the wall reads f/22 while the camera's exposure is f/8.0 or three stops brighter rendering the background almost white.
When Vanessa moves closer to the sheers, the huge light source wraps her in soft luminance.
Backlight is versatile, easy to find or create and lovely to photograph.

If uracil is attached to a deoxyribose ring, it is known as a deoxyuridine.
Harvard researchers report that supplementation in rats with a combination of uridine and EPA/DHA omega-3 fatty acids has antidepressant activity equivalent to that of commonly prescribed antidepressant medications, such as Prozac and other SSRIs.
Sugarcane extract is rich in nucleosides, especially uridine. Tomatoes also (about 500-1000 mg. of uridine per kilogram of dry matter).. Brewer's yeast also contains a good amount of uridine, as yeast is high in RNA, which after digestion is broken down into uridine monophosphate. About 3 percent of yeast (dry weight) results in digestion uridine products. This assumes the usual 9% RNA content found in Brewer's yeast. However, not all commercial yeast products may contain this level of RNA. Alternatively, drinking beer also results in increased plasma uridine . The ingestion of one liter of beer results in increased plasma uridine at a level that is comparable to those reached after ingestion of CDP-choline (citicoline) (as in , the increase is measured as a percent change relative to baseline plasma uridine).

June 30, 2015
Americans jumped on deals and promotions offered online on Cyber Monday, spending $1 billion and making it the busiest online shopping day ever, according to new data.
Research firm comScore Inc. says revenue rose 16 percent from a
year ago to $1.03 billion on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Since
the beginning of November, online sales are up 13 percent to $13.55
The improvement is welcome for retailers hoping that Americans
start spending more freely. But shoppers are still holding out for
bargains and spending cautiously as unemployment remains high.
According to ShopperTrak figures, revenue at brick-and-mortar stores was flat over the weekend following Thanksgiving, but traffic rose 2.8 percent.
A clearer picture of spending will come Thursday when the nation's retailers release revenue figures for November.

New Security Developments, Best Practices, and Important Security Updates
Below are both positive and negative security speculations regarding Apple's new iPhone. Until, this product emerges with more details, it's too early to truly evaluate security in both the home and corporate environments. Any popular wireless device with Internet access and built-in data storage could become a target. In personally beta testing Apple's new Safari for Windows browser, I have seen them fix security issues expediently. Hopefully, a secure architecture has been designed into these new devices. Still, folks purchasing this device should "think security" (and I'm hopeful that Apple has done that as well in it's design). We should know more next week. The pros and cons of iPhone security http://news.com.com/2008-1029_3-6193430.html
quote:Overall, Mehta thinks the iPhone's security will be better than other smart phones on the market, and he credits the lack of a software developer kit (SDK) from Apple as a definite positive. The absence of an SDK will make writing malware much more challenging, he said, and inexperienced criminals will be scared off. "It doesn't make it impossible," Mehta said, "just harder." Mehta thinks the iPhone will attract a more sophisticated criminal who's attracted to the challenge of hacking a complex system. Also, with Symbian OS-enabled phones currently occupying 40 to 50 percent of the world market, most petty thieves will still be drawn to the lower-hanging fruit.
Analysts: iPhone Has Neither Security nor Relevance http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2149610,00.asp
quote:The iPhone won't go on sale until June 29. Up until now, and probably until it hits retail shelves, Apple has given next to nil information regarding the security features its first smart phone will have, making security analysis little better than conjecture. The few pieces of security background analysts have to go on include these tidbits: 1) The iPhone will run on Mac OS X and 2) the iPhone will run Apple's Safari browser.
Is The iPhone Insecure? http://www.forbes.com/security/2007/06/19/iphone-security-risk-tech-security-cx_ag_0619iphonesecurity.html
quote:The iPhone is capable of many of the same smart phone applications as business devices like Research In Motion's (nasdaq: RIMM - news - people ) BlackBerries. But unlike BlackBerries, Storms says, iPhones are unlikely to have a remote "lock and wipe" function that erases the device's data in the event that it's lost. The phone will use an operating system and a Web browser that have already been available in some form for years, so hackers will have a head start in finding entry points to exploit even before the phone is released. And the iPhone's "closed" operating system makes it impossible to install protection software from security companies like McAfee or Symantec.
The iPhone - Our new Security Nightmare http://blog.ncircle.com/blogs/sync/archives/2007/06/the_iphone_our_new_security_ni.html
quote:Questions for Apple regarding the iPhone:
Is data encrypted while in transit?
Is data encrypted on the device?
Is data encrypted on removable memory?
Is data removed if the device hasn't checked in centrally, hasn't received a policy update within a time window or if battery power is too low?
Is there S/MIME support?
Is there PGP support?
Are there electromagnetic analysis countermeasures?
Are there DRM applications? (Ability to read, but not forward data)
Is there user authentication by means of password, passphrase or smart card?
Does the device automatically lock and requires authentication to unlock?
Are the encryption keys stored on the devices and are they also encrypted?
Do the network devices have firewalls?
Are the network interfaces disabled by default and does the user has ability to disable at will?
Is there the ability to remotely lock and disable the device?
Is there the ability to remotely wipe and backup data?
Is there the ability to centrally develop and enforce policy settings?
Is there centralized reporting of all device events - calls made, data transferred, usage statistics?

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
At 15 Omar went to Guantanamo. Here's his story
27 Nov 2012 15:13 GMT | Sport, Football, Algeria, South Africa, Togo
South Africa will have the same centralised security body it used for the World Cup at next year's African Cup of Nations as government and tournament organisers said they had learned lessons from the strikes that marred part of football's showpiece tournament two years ago.In a joint statement Tuesday, the South African government and local organising committee said the National Joint Intelligence and Operations Structure would again oversee security at the African Cup in January and February.South Africa's generally good organisation of the World Cup in 2010 was undermined when privately-hired stadium stewards went on strike over wages and were dispersed by police using tear gas, forcing the government to take over security at five of the 10 stadiums.General labour unrest in South Africa has also left dozens dead this year, magnifying concerns over possible disruption at the Cup of Nations.Although there has been no direct threat to the event from the violent protests, the continental championship could become a target for a currently restive workforce unhappy at low wages - as happened at the World Cup.
24-hour security
Mvuzo Mbebe, the chief executive of the local organising committee, on Friday said he 'guaranteed' the African Cup would be safe."Natjoints and the LOC are also taking measures to address some of the lessons learnt from the 2010 FIFA World Cup," the government and organisers said.
"This includes dealing with the strikes and the intrusion in dressing rooms at Cape Town Stadium."
"Natjoints and the LOC are also taking measures to address some of the lessons learnt from the 2010 FIFA World Cup"
Chief exec of LOC Mvuzo Mbebe
South Africa's security arrangements at the World Cup also came under scrutiny when a man managed to get into the England team's dressing room following its game against Algeria in Cape Town.In a more recent embarrassment for South African organisers, two youths - aged just 12 and 13 - threw rocks at the team bus of African champion Zambia as it left Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium this month following a friendly against South Africa.Two players were hurt, with Zambia's South African-based goalkeeper, Kennedy Mweene, needing stitches in his head.As a result, teams would have 24-hour security at the African Cup, deputy police minister Makhotso Sotyu said, as well as escorts wherever they went.Previously lax security arrangements at the African Cup were tightened after the Togo team bus was attacked by armed rebels in the Angolan enclave of Cabinda just before the 2010 tournament and two team officials were killed.Togo withdrew from that competition and will play in South Africa next year in its first African Cup since the deadly gun attack.

Arctic Message in a Bottle Gives Researcher 'Goose Bumps'
A 54-year-old message in a bottle left behind in the Canadian Arctic at first seemed to be quite mundane when it was found by two researchers in the remote area, nestled in a pile of rocks on Ward Hunt Island.
The missive inside, dated July 10, 1959, simply asked the finder to measure the distance from the pile of rocks to an ice shelf that was located nearby and send the figure back to either the writer of the note or to another researcher back in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Names and addresses were provided to aid the finder in getting the data back to the right person.
However, what one of the finders of the note says gave him "goosebumps" was learning who the two researchers mentioned in the note were: Paul Walker and Albert Crary, both of whom are well-known figures in the world of polar research.
Paul Walker, the writer of the note, was, at the time that the note was written and placed in the small plastic sample bottle, a young scientist with a bright future ahead of him who had been on major expeditions to both poles, studying glaciers and exploring the frigid terrain. However, what makes this find so striking is the fact that his instructions, scribbled in pencil, may well have been some of the last words he ever wrote. Twenty-five-year-old Walker, who had only just graduated three years prior from Occidental College with a degree in geology, had a severe stroke not long after which left him unable to move. He had to be rescued from the frozen Arctic by a bush pilot; and, after he returned to his parent's home in Pasadena, he never really recovered, dying on November 11, 1959.
Albert Crary, the colleague to whom the note was to be sent, is also quite well-known in the polar research field. In addition to completing a 1952 expedition to the North Pole, he led a 1961 expedition to the South Pole. The U.S. Arctic Program's Science and Engineering Center at McMurdo Bay, Antarctica, is named in his honor.
Curious what they would learn, the researchers did take the requested measurement, learning that the ice sheet had in fact retreated by more than 200 feet.
Biologist Warwick F. Vincent, who is the director of the Center for Northern Studies at Laval University in Quebec City, says that it is quite notable that Walker chose to leave a note at the location that he did. In his day, it was unimaginable that the ice would melt. So, unknowingly, he was leaving modern-day scientists a way to gauge just how much the ice had retreated.
According to a historian who knew Walker, "I was just so pleased because it brought Paul back, in a way, and the work he had done. He had a brilliant career as a glaciologist and all of a sudden, to be cut short that way."
As a very appropriate ending to the story, the researchers took a photo of the note, placing it and the bottle back where they found them, along with a note of their own asking anyone who finds their message in the future to take the same measurement from the pile of rocks to the ice shelf.

I just finished the Ken Burn's video documentary about the 1930's Dust Bowl era in the US. There is no hope of turning global warming around let alone showing it down. I feel much sorrow for my grandchildren. Mankind will get what it deserves. Treat the planet with disdain and the planet will reciprocate.
The Science and Engineering Center at McMurdo is more likely part of the U.S. **Antarctic** Research Program. Regardless, this is a charming story.

I posted earlier about my terrible experience with Tecfidera and I saw the Neurologist yesterday and they feel it is worth giving it another try.
It is believe that the symptoms I experience last Saturday where my bodies reaction to the removing the Tecfidera and I am doing IV steroids to balance everything back out. Once I come of the steroids, I will start a modified dose of Tecfidera, here is the plan:
I will be 120 mg for 2 to 6 months to give my body plenty of time to become accustom to the medication.
Then I will take 120 mg in the morning and 240 mg at night, this will continue for 4 to 6 months
Then I will finally go up to the full dose.
I really hope this works.

Brick porosity
I did a test of the brick porosity of one of my firebricks yesterday. The brick was 12"x 9 1/4" x 3" and weighed 9.25Kg dry. Soaked for 24Hrs it weighed 11.5 Kg which is approx.20% I did not remove moisture from the dry brick first and my old spring bathroom scales are not too accurate but it indicates that the brick has taken on a lot of water. This indicates that the brick is very porous and not very vitrified. This quality is desirable to make the brick highly refractory but undesirable in that it will absorb water easily and hold a large quantity. I have read that it is the moist heat that is the WFO's secret, so perhaps the porosity of the bricks is an important factor in the WFO's success in cooking superiority.
Re: Brick porosity
Slow day at work was it? :D
Re: Brick porosity
No, flat out actually, but it is a topic I've been getting interested in and was hoping someone else might might chime in to give some constructive input into the subject so we can all benefit from increased knowledge. And weighing one brick is way easier than cutting lots of them.
Re: Brick porosity
Re: Brick porosity
I didn't say I was.
Re: Brick porosity
I agree, but is it the fuel used or the porous bricks that give it that superiority?
I think also that a WFO cooks with radiating heat rathe than by convection like a standard oven.
Maybe someone with experience with both a steel dome and a firebrick dome may chime in. Although a steel dome with a firebrick floor is still half a firebrick oven.
Re: Brick porosity
The ones we carry give a rated porosity of 13-17%.
Re: Brick porosity
Thanks Tscarborough,
Given the high degree of porosity of fire brick, presumably some containment of water, rather than full saturation, in the brick when laying them is desirable to reduce the tendency of the brick to suck water out of the mortar too fast. Is this a logical conclusion?
Re: Brick porosity
Yes, as I have stated a dozen times, the proper amount of water is SSD. Saturated, surface dry. That is to say, the surface will not have a sheen, but it will be damp. Usually, a dip before use is adequate, but in hot (like yours and mine hot, 95+ degrees) and windy, you may have to either soak them and then allow them to dry a bit before use, or, as recommended by the BIA, hose the pile every now and then.
As an FYI most common brick have less than 5% absorbtion, and hard fired face brick are usually far less than 2% in a 24 hour soak test.
Re: Brick porosity
As an FYI most common brick have less than 5% absorbtion, and hard fired face brick are usually far less than 2% in a 24 hour soak test.[/QUOTE]
I wonder then if this would explain why firebricks are considered the superior cooking brick, with more porosity and their ability to store more moisture, are the preferred choice over common reds?
Or is it their greater ability to withstand thermal shock?
Or doesn't the difference really matter?

Sometimes I want to play with my little ones all day. Some days I want to throw aside everything else and just play by their rules.
Other days I want to sit outside, soak in the sunshine, and watch how their worlds develop.
Some days I want them to ride along with me and I engage them in the work and play that excites me most at the moment.
Most days are a combination of all of these impulses...
But here is one thing I am learning as Clayton grows older and his play with Evan becomes more and more involved. When I step away entirely, amazing things happen. They develop incredibly complex games, they follow each other's lead, and they take care of one another.
Their play changes when I am in the room or when they know I am listening.
I often step in the other room to do a few dishes or get the laundry going while I leave them to play freely. Sometimes, I listen in and choose to sit down for a bit longer, knowing my presence would push their play off course. I choose not to return, to stay out of their sight and to let them simply be together.
And if I can wait just a few minutes longer, letting their game come to its natural conclusion, sometimes I can even peek in to find something like this...
So, to any moms and dads out there who need a reason to take a few minutes just for yourselves today, I invite you to sneak away and see what your little mice might think up.
Yes, my son calls me Mommy Repeat. He has called me by this nickname for a long time and, to be honest, it took me quite a while to realize the significance. He loves the sounds of language and chose the name for the rhythm and not for the meaning. But it is true that I am a mommy and I do, in fact, repeat...and repeat. I tried to tell my son that I would rather be called Mommy Says-Things-Only-One-Time, but have had no luck yet selling him on this new name. Mommy Repeat seems to have stuck.

Spence was just one of 30 college seniors chosen from across the nation to participate in the prestigious camp organized by Global1Sports. Only seniors eligible for the WNBA draft are invited to the camp alongside current overseas players looking to play in the WNBA.
This Friday and Saturday the Aggie senior point guard will have the opportunity to showcase her skills among her peers in front of WNBA staff and representatives from international basketball teams from across the globe.
During the two-day event, Spence will go through personal workouts and interviews with professional WNBA and overseas staff. She will also participate in three competitive games with her peers to display her skill set for the next level.
"I'm really excited to be here," said Spence from Indianapolis. "It's a great opportunity for me to compete against these players. I just want to see how far I can go into the draft process."
Spence ended a spectacular four-year career earlier this month by earning All-WAC Second Team recognition. She was an All-WAC preseason or postseason selection in each of her four seasons as an Aggie.
Spence has spent four years in a Crimson and White uniform, playing in a program record 121 career games while starting each one. Spence finished her career in seventh on the all-time NM State scoring list with 1,480 points. Last year, she became the 17th member of the 1,000-point club and just the seventh player in program history to accomplish the feat prior to her senior year.
This season Spence led the team in minutes per game (31.7) and points per game (13.8).
Her father, Darin Spence, coached Madison all four years at New Mexico State and has seen her game grow for years as both a coach and a parent.
"I'm just a true dad now," said the elder Spence. "She's had a great career. If she gets the chance and wants to play a little more, great, if she doesn't that's fine too. I think it's great not only for her but the Aggie program, New Mexico State University and the Las Cruces community.
"I think this weekend gives her added exposure to go head-to-head against her peers. You never know, she's the type of player that a team could find a spot on the roster for."

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) January 25, 2013
Maryland Crab Cakes Online has released a new guide on Crab Cake Nutrition. Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab is a lean meat with out a lot of fat but also a high protein source with omega 3 fatty acids. Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab premium grade jumbo lump crab meat provides a delicious choice in meat to consume but should be eaten in moderation.
Depending on how the crab cake is prepared determines the nutrition of the crab cakes. If they are homemade a substitute can be made with many of the ingredients in the recipe.
"Crab meat is essentially pretty healthy as it has the protein and omega 3 fatty acids found in fish but crab cakes are high on the calorie intake scale. So when making Maryland style crab cakes try a few alternatives to mayonnaise, salt and the method of cooking them," said Mindy Ranch, Senior Editor of Maryland Crab Cakes Online.
Maryland Crab Cakes Online provides fresh domestic Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab premium grade jumbo lump crab meat to consumers by same day shipping with overnight delivery.
