I'd prefer to keep a separate thread where we can discuss this camera specifically. I am still hoping to purchase one in the near future and will then report on how i like it. Am hoping to get a discussion on features going if there are other owners on the board (not clear ow many people use this over the go pro).

Well after a fair amount of reading and research I ordered and bought the Drift HD Ghost from ebay.
I chose it over the Contour +2 due to the remote, the screen, the loop function and the price/extras in the box.
I didn't want a stupid box on the top of my head (Go-Pro). My choice.
My mate has the brand new Contour +2 so a comparision might be done eventually.
This is a seriously technologically advanced bit of gear, and I thought it would take me ages to get my head around it. The Drift Innovations home page has a heap of short 70Mb training videos you can download, I've found some .pdf files for the older Drift cameras that explain a lot of stuff like field of view, snow/dark light settings, file types etc. So only a few hours after opening the box I'm pretty right.
There's not a real lot of stuff on Google about it yet. Only the usual thin reviews, not settings and stuff.
It will take some careful positioning to mount it on my helmet - you want it pointing at the right place.
Then I'll probably fiddle around to work out what resolution I want to run at and what field of view.
I suspect that high resolution (1080p) will make for large files, and won't allow for fast frame rates per second. Also I may not like it filming at 170degreees FOV. This seems to make the distant objects seem further away and you get a bit of the 'fish-eye' effect. Although the advantage is that it shows the side of the trail and the effect of speed quite well.
edit: Don't believe any of this just yet, I'm testing at the moment and not is all as it appears (in a good way).
More testing is in order.
BTW, I think it is irrelevant to ANY of this discussion for someone to make opinions based on older model cameras. The latest ones are streets ahead of the older ones. This one has only been released for 3 months.
Another BTW, they haven't released the final version of the Android App so that you can 'drive' your camera from your smartphone (the I-phone one is out), but it is due any week.

Just a quick vid, no enhancing just cropped for length. Couldn't remove background noise with my free editing software so please forgive that.
You can use any of the settings but the playback will largely depend on your hosting site. I recorded the above in 1080/30, 270 fov, with no lighting effects. But looks like less in playback.

Finally purchased the Drift Ghost HD. First impressions:
A lot of thought has gone into this camera. From the moment you receive it, it feels like a quality product. The packaging is well thought out - protective case and well presented - kind of like an Apple product. Gives you a sense of confidence upon receipt.
The manual is clear and easy to digest - not overly complicated.
The camera feels absolutely solid. All the controls are clear and work precisely. Buttons big enough to use with gloves.
The menu is absolutely intuitive. It takes only a few minutes to be comfortable with the various functions. Having the screen on the device allows for easy changing of settings at any time..
One of the reasons I purchased this instead of the Go Pro is that I don't like the teletubby look and overall form factor ofthe GoPro. This camera really solves that - the shape and form make sense.
I really like the remote. It has two big buttons only, and a series of lights that clearly tell you what mode you are in. The buttons are big - you won't press the wrong one by accident.
NOTE - while the camera is waterproof, the remote is not. Something to consider.
Camera has the following features - none of which I have tested yet:
Video tagging
In each mode you can set:
Self Timer Burst rate
All easily accessible form the menu - nice.
I charged the camera and the remote - had no connection issues between the two - just turned them on and they were synched already. Nice.
Use: - I plan to use this mostly for still photos while I am riding - so I have not tested the video yet.
I did test the three FOV for stills: 90/127/170 degrees. Here are the results:
90 degrees
127 degrees
170 degrees
Finally, downloading the pictures was a breeze. I hooked up to the Mac, and it recognized it as a camera in iPhoto. Just a seemless download of the pics. No drama.

Saved me a bunch of research, I had the same quest and questions.
Like you, I am more interested in some fish-eye wide random stills while riding then video that looks like everyone else's after the first five seconds. This would not be my primary still camera, certainly, just another perhaps more candid option.
Just me maybe.

I will still carry another small point and shoot as well for when off the bike. I'm sure I will use the video occasionally when I have that one superb road to capture, but mostly it will be for stills.
I did make one mistake - after taking painstaking care on where ti place the clip on my helmet so that it is aligned and looking straight forward, it turns out the FOV gets some of the helmet in the pic !!!!
Now i need to order a new adhesive attachment, and figure out how to remove the original one. What a pain.
Good thing i started on an old helmet, one that is a backup.
So the problem so far has been user error.

Not everyone has enough sand to admit such (understandable) oversights. I bet you save a couple of us the same pains though, so thanks
I was just Googling around myself here trying to get a look at the helmet mount....

Nice first impression review!
I have a few suggestions for the mounting issue for you.
First, use a hairdryer to heat up the mount and soften the double stick glue, then use an old credit card or hotel room key to get under the mount then it should peel right off while warm. If there's any residue left you can use the mount with some double stick tape to push, rub and remove the rest, after heating it up again.
Also, you don't need to order more mounts, just go buy some 2" industrial velcro from home depot or some 3M Dual Lock tape. You can put a strip of it on the mount and an even longer strip on the helmet so you have room to move the mount around and framed how you'd like, you can even put a strip on the side and on the top of the helmet to give you options to get more than one camera location, along with putting a strip or two on you bike to further the locations to help give you options to make more interesting video. One facing backwards, one on the side of the bike shooting the front wheel, etc, etc. I usually put the hook side (plasitc not fabric loops) of the velcro on the helmet to make it less noticeable when the camera isn't mounted and you can get white or black velcro depending on your helmet to further the cause. Dual lock comes in clear making it even less noticeable, though you'll probable need to look on ebay for that. I use dual lock to mount the remote to my handgaurd on my bike too. Very strong stuff.
Another suggestion, at least for video, is to import the files into iMovie, you must already have iPhoto set as default when a camera is connected and while you can import and view movies in it, you'll want to be editing movies in iMovie. You can change that in iPhoto>settings>import. Or just open iMovie while the card is connected and import there.
Speaking of, if you have an Apple store nearby I suggest taking one of their free iMovie classes, it will forward your future movie making skills greatly, including what kind of shots you should look for to make fun videos, all of which is very simple once you get the hang of iMovie. If no Apple store check out all the built in tutorial videos in Movie Help.
Having one camera angle with unedited video does make a video boring and look like millions of other boring videos, with just a little effort and education making videos YOURS and interesting are easy in iMovie. You can easily shoot photos all day and make then into a time lapse video if you're determined to just shoot photos too...
Overall I shoot in 720 30fps, 170º. the narrower angles just don't work for me on a bike, like tunnel vision when moving and I miss the surroundings. Sometimes I shoot in 50fps when doing crazy stuff to have the option to do slow motion, but for the most part I don't since it increases file size and battery use, same reason I don't shoot 1080. Sometimes having the helmet in the shot is good, gives a point of view and perspective of where YOU are in the video instead of shots of some random road made by some random rider, but there's no right or wrong in how you shoot.
Good luck
Shot with a Ghost and edited in about 45 minutes in iMovie using one of their presets, not an award winner by any means but something that's fun for us to look back on:

when seeing online comparisons it's always hard to judge not knowing what the settings, conditions and how much post processing was done. It would be easy for a pro to make one camera look or sound better compared to another if they wanted.
The audio is definitely better with the external mic being used, with the mic taped to the back of the helmet. I have mine set at the low "one bar" input level setting on the camera and rarely use the external mic out of laziness.
You can tape some foam over the onboard mic to help with wind noise, but in the end it's a little crappy mic on most of these cameras and going down the road at speeds there will be wind noise, at least from my experience.
I've had a few various helmet cams over the years, none of them have a large enough sensor to really have great low light shooting, all of them seems quite noisy when the sensitivity gets bumped up. For the most part most look great in good lighting conditions, and look not so good in low light. There's post processing that can be done to help with the noise, but you can only polish a turd so much... for me making MC videos is something I really don't want to spend much effort doing, I do that enough while doing video work on shows. I spend far more efforts in my photography usually when riding, but it's fun to have some short videos to look back on after a trip or share online. Easy to make in iMovie with little efforts and time once you get the hang of it. I use it more than Final Cut Pro just for simplicities sake for bike vids.
Here's a somewhat boring clip shot with a HD 170 in challenging lighting conditions and some night riding, no post processing, no external mic, just crappy edits. For my purposes the image/sound quality is good enough to share online. I find the mic on the ghost to be just about the same, I keep it on low input setting for shooting while riding.
In the end the content of what you're shooting and the editing will make a video "better" to document and share your ADVentures than having perfect image or sound quality IMHO.

After using my Drift Ghost all weekend, I am now in a position to make a couple of comments!
The menu is easy to use (someone somewhere bagged the menu - they're wrong).
I agree with Lost Rider:
A bit of helmet in the field of view is ideal. It is even better if you can get some of the bike handlebars/headlight protector.
For off road riding, the 170 degrees is best, other FOV makes things too close and narrow, and with close by bushes etc, it is not easy to watch.
I too go with the 720p, on the 60fps (edit 60fps). The memory usage is not worrying me as much (I don't upload to the net), and the higher fps seems to make some of the fast single track imagery a little bit smoother - although you only notice it when you compare it back-to-back with identical footage shot in 30fps.
I've ordered a spare battery. Using the tag&loop function does hit battery life, I got 3 hours; but it was a 6 hour ride. I've ordered a 2500maH one from Hong Kong for only about $25, with car charger etc.......(!), the original is 1900MaH.
The tag process, in my humble opinion would benefit from a plan where, when you hit the button it only records the last one minute, or maybe two minutes. (not the next 'multiplied by 2" time period added on after) I have found when riding that exciting bits happen when you are not expecting and you can't hit the button until they are over; "during" an exciting bit, it is bloody hard to hit the remote (I'm talking hard & fast single track), and if you set it to record the last minute to cover this, you then get two minutes of usually boring stuff after the event before it turns off again. Which will need to be cut out of the file later.
Anyone else see this? I might suggest it to Drift Innovations, surely it is just a option to be released in a firmware upgrade?

Applying for a Visa
You will receive an email notification from Kent State if you are accepted. Within 2-3 days of your acceptance, a copy of your admission letter will be emailed to Kent State International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS). We will then email you a scan of this letter.
In order for you to come to the United States to pursue your educational objective, you must apply for a student visa. For most students, this is an F-1 visa. In order for you to apply for this visa, we must create a Form I-20/DS-2019 immigration document. Follow these steps to apply for a student visa.
- First: Have you sent us proof of financial support for one year? You must show that you have the financial resources to pay for one year of studying in Kent. This document can be in the form of a bank statement, graduate assistantship letter, or financial guarantee from your government. If you do receive an assistantship, please email us a copy of the offer letter, as we only receive notification of your acceptance to Kent State and we are generally not notified whether or not you will receive funding from your department or school. The total amount of funding we are required to see can be found here: Tuition & Fees
- Note: Are you transferring from another US high school, college, university or institution? If so, we do not create a new SEVIS record for you; instead you should arrange for the transfer of your record to Kent State University. You will need to read our Transfer In Guide for more information and to arrange this transfer: Transfer In Guide June 2014.pdf. After your record is transferred to us, we can create a new Kent State I-20 for you, provided that you have shown us your proof of financial support.
- Second: After we have proof of financial support, we create the I-20 and send it to your mailing address, along with a packet of information. You will receive an email from ISSS with a scan of the documents we are mailing, as well as tracking information for the package. Depending on where you live, it may take two to three weeks for your I-20 to arrive. We use DHL to mail documents internationally. Please be patient during this time - we have no control over the international mailing system. If you have not received your I-20 four weeks after you were notified that you were accepted, please contact us at email@example.com.
- Notes:
- Are you from China? Your I-20 will be sent to our Beijing China Center. The China Center will then contact you to arrange for delivery.
- Are you from Saudi Arabia? Check with your local DHL Center to see if your packet has arrived. Your local DHL Center may try to contact you by phone when your I-20 arrives.
- Are you from Iran? It may take significantly longer (one to three months) for your I-20 to arrive after we have mailed it.
- Do not make your visa appointment until you have your I-20. You will not be able to obtain a visa without your I-20. We cannot expedite or "rush" an I-20 to you if you have scheduled a visa appointment without an I-20.
- Notes:
- Third: After you have received your I-20, you can apply for your visa by following these steps:
- Verify your personal information on your Form I-20 (F-1) or DS-2019 (J-1). Ensure that your name and birth date match your passport. If you find mistakes, notify our office immediately by emailing email@example.com and include a scan of your passport.
- On Form I-20, print and sign your name at Number 11 on the bottom of the first page. On Form DS-2019, complete "Exchange Visitor Certification" Box (at bottom).
- Prior to applying for your F-1 or J-1 student visa you must pay a $200 SEVIS fee to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). You can pay the SEVIS fee two ways: (1) online by credit card at https://www.fmjfee.com/ or (2) mailed by check or money order. You will be able to print a receipt electronically if you use payment option #1. You will receive a receipt by return mail if you use payment option #2.
- Schedule the visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate nearest to you: http://www.usembassy.gov/. If you are from Canada, you do not need to apply for an F-1 visa at your local consulate. You will find information about Canadian student visas here: http://canada.usembassy.gov/visas/visas/student-and-exchange-visas.html.

Why to take upcoming projects seriously? Many of our clients asks this question, irrespective of their budget and other things.
Instead of being judgmental, We would like you to first go through the current scenario of Indian real estate market. The real estate economy in India is over a large development shape. Rise in the NCR and Delhi area is on quick speed because of infrastructural innovations for example building of expressway, flyovers, and metro etc. During the last several years, suburban areas, such as Gurgaon, Greater Noida and Faridabad experienced a considerably greater proportion development in capital values because of substantial business activity for offices being rented and bought in these locations.
The elevated growth and development of the commercial belt led to a concurrent interest in high quality household space in these types of, along with the adjoining locations.
As a result of sealing drive, the commercial rates in Delhi NCR region have appreciated with Delhi rates touching new highs. According to the sealing drive
and also the international merchants like UK's Liberty International, Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Tesco and Casino foraying directly into Indian retail market, purchase of retail projects in leading regions of Delhi would likely end up being producing excellent dividends with prices likely to go twice within just 1-2 years. Gurgaon, situated south of Delhi, has National Highway 8 working through it, making sure good online connectivity. Its closeness towards the pre-existing airport is definitely an added edge. Gurgaon home prices have increased around 40% during the last 6 months but still chances are it will experience a large amount of action in the forthcoming months.
Along with small land available for development in Delhi, throughout the years, property in Gurgaon and Noida have behaved as practical suburbs for possessing relatively affordable real estate. The development of Metro railway in Delhi has, to some large extent, fixed intra-city transportation difficulties. Regarding Noida, the demand as well as the home rates might boost with the finishing of a suggested airport.
Greater Noida has benefits of much better connectivity, electricity and drinking water supply. However the area is usually seeing lower occupancy as numerous buyers are purchasing home for investment reasons.
Indirapuram, Dwarka and Kaushmbi have noticed plenty of rise in the aftermath of the Commonwealth Games.
Regions like Kundli and Manesar are upcoming with improvement. Kundli is watching residential projects with many with the huge developers like TDI leveraging the prospective. IMT Manesar offers brand new opportunities for buyers, corporations as well as the developers.
With the scenarios explained above hardly anyone will doubt about the opportunities of upcoming projects.

Dear Dr. Forsythe: I recently interviewed for a position at a local business near Sonoma (I won't say which one) and went through a situation I wanted to ask you about. The person who interviewed me (I'll call her Miranda Priestly) had her little dog with her in the office. I think it was a little terrier of some sort: small, black and white, with coarse hair. All during the interview, this little dog kept sniffing my feet and stepping on my shoes. A couple times he even jumped up a little and scratched my hose. I tried to laugh it off, but inside I was very uncomfortable not wanting to push the little dog away or say anything that would hurt my chances for the job. I answered the interview questions the best I could, and at the end of the interview, I went to shake the "Miranda's" hand and then bent down to pet her dog. As I reached down, the dog quickly snapped at me and bit me on my wrist. My instincts took over, and I lightly swatted her pet away. I expected Miranda to ask if I was OK and help me with my bite wound. Instead, she scolded me for hitting her dog and said I should leave "quickly". Dr. Forsythe, what are your thoughts are on a situation like this?. Wasn't that woman in the wrong when her dog bit me? Needless to say, I didn't get the job, much less an apology. I left in tears with a dented ego and a painful wrist. I'm just wondering why people keep pets at work, especially little dogs that bite people.
Santa Rosa
Dear Kalinda: First let me tell you how sorry I am that you went through what sounds like a difficult interview only to end up being bitten and then shoved out the door like a bumblebee at a children's birthday party. Dogs have become much more common in the workplace over the last few years, and many people actually negotiate their employment contracts to allow them to have their pet at work with them. Many social studies show that offices that have animals tend to be happier and more productive. However, it sounds like this place where you interviewed was the exception. If Ms. "Priestly" had a little flesh-hungry "Cujo" in the office that first intimidated, then distracted you from performing well during your interview, that is unfortunate and unprofessional. Then, once the pet attempted to remove your hand at the wrist, Miranda had an obligation (both legal and ethical) to tend to you and see that you were OK. I find it almost beyond comprehension that anyone in this day and age would be so careless to let their pet bite another person and then not even offer an apology, much less a band-aid to the bite victim. Perhaps Miranda was too taken aback by your reaction to the bite and brushing her "darling" little pet aside that she lost sense of proper decorum: When your pet chomps down on someone, take a moment to tend to them, show you care, apologize. I don't think it sounds like a million girls would kill for that job. It's probably more likely that a million girls were killed DOING that job. Be glad you're away from that place, and I hope you will find a better job soon.

moody figures - intuition vs logic
I've been doing some quick color studies to better understand how color effects mood...
I've studied color theory but when I start drawing all that goes out the window and I just seem to do what feels right. I know I should be more logical in my application of color but this approach is definitely more entertaining... though the end product probably suffers because my color choices are being made very randomly. Any suggestions on how to better approach color?
This is an issue I've been struggling with for years... do I trust my intuition to lead me in the right direction or do I take the more logical and predictable approach?

lets see
well lets see if the mood you saw -or- was trying to communicate was recieved by one of your viewers. i will try to tell you the best explaination of the mood i recieve from your peice:
because the subject is of a nude, i always have a mood or idea that is close to sexual in some way. and being that i said that .. even more so.
the first i have a warm comfort feel to the room and a judging stare. i get a certain feel of lust (is that a .. guy!? anyway forget this) - i think the warm feel comes from the bright red
- feels soft - and the shine of the skin. its dark eyes and the refracted light on the subject's face give it a mysterious radience.
the one below that is rather confusing. i feel myself all over the place when i try to pick a mood, what returns to my mind the most is an uncomfort .. i am sure the color is playing a part in that some how. the closest i can explain what i see is a type of frusteration or cloud of thought from a comfortable stare.
the middle piece doesnt look in the mood (hah!). it gives me a crabby, sick feel - an ill and passive hostility. i feel bothersome, or that i am bothering the subect - "with my presents" the putrid green color does it i think.
the right and final study, the subject looks powerful - but at rest. the subject looks happy, warm, and lively.
hope that was worth your while.

Thanks Killing.people,
That was very helpful. Usually when I'm drawing the figure I don't really know what emotion I'm going for... I just draw what I feel at the time. I've always wondered if this was just laziness but your descriptions are very accurate, for the most part they describe what I was seeing and feeling.
There is something about the second one (green/yellow figure on blue/red background) that I both love and hate. The model was beautifully posed and completely relaxed, I captured that in the quick linework, but as I added color I became really agitated and frustrated because it was turning to mud so quickly and I think that frustration is very apparent. I like the contrast between the restful and relaxed pose with the very agitated color... its almost like you are seeing her inner turmoil or something? Or maybe I'm just trying to justify the muddy colors...
thanks again

let me tell you first: these are all true and very wonderful works of art! i wish i could do things half as good as these.
i know very well what you're struggling with.
i know where to find skintones in the color wheel and i know how to vary them to make different types.
but when i see a painting done by for example prometheus|anj (i see this very strong in anj's paintings), i see true, luminous skin and not skintone.
i look closer and i see blotches, real ugly hardedged blotches of color i never dared to work with when trying to create skin or whatever.
there is a blotch of baby-blue in a brownish rusty metal part, there is next to pure red in one or two parts of the skin, next to blotches of muddy greenish brown.
okay... i'm going off-topic
what i see, color-wise, in your studies is:
first one (top):
very warm colors, very smooth finish. no scribbly shading that mixes color through some kind of rasterizing/hatching but true, soft color transitions. this makes for a very warm and soft feeling.
i imagine touching this person will give sense of life: warmth (nah... not gay ) and softnes.
pic below:
this one looks the most disturbing to me. those yellow tones don't seem to give me any information about anything that could be conveyed by the pose. it looks a bit dismembered. i don't know why but i think of an ill feeling, pain in the stomach or something like that when seeing this picture. something not working together properly. also, the bright red inmidst the yellowish shading contrasts this.
blueish pic:
this is the total opposite of the first one: the colors scream for coldness, the edges appear more harsh and the pose doesn't look as relaxed as the first model's.
for me, this results in a person that doesn't feel healthy when i touch. accpording to the colors, this person feels cold and more "bone-y". there is an erotic aspect of cold colors, too but in this one, i think the cold- and harshness is too evident to give a pleasant feeling.
last pic:
it's warm colors again but they aren't so much glowing as in the first one.
surely, this person does feel warm but i'm not sure if it is this kind of living armth that one feels as a striking feeling (like touching someone's shirt loosely when passing and feeling the life of this person although one didn't even touch the body at all)
the unsmooth rendering gives me personally the feel of "not-so-youthful-smooth skin". this painting feels like she had her best years. (no offense, just poor english - i don't know how to exactly tell what i want to say)
i hope this lousy feedback helps you at least a bit
please show more of those sketches you occasionally posted (jazzbars and such). they totally rock!

Replying to: Looks Like A Toy by badsky2k
Re: Looks Like A Toy
Actually with the directional pad up top it reminds me of a modern interpretation of either a Sega Game Gear or an Atari Lynx... why though in the advent of the Nin DS and the PSP. Why does Nokia think it can do a half assed approach to the handheld game sector or Multimedia schtick with something that is not dedicated to one paticular thing. Now grant it processing power is becoming more and more prevalent in micro devices, but its still not there to the point where we can have a handheld device that will serve every need and serve it well.
Anybody got change for a "5" cuz thats my two cents.
Oh BTW... blue tooth... yeah... blue tooth... is it just me or does it seem to be a dying technology... yeah car makers are including it... finally... but BT was supposed to the herald of the future... sort of like Firewire was supposed to be. Of course its not like bluesnarfing is all that hard anyway so maybe these phone companies are smarter than we think.

Intergroup Dialogue
Multi-Campus Diversity Study
A Multi-University Research Evaluation of the Educational Benefits of Intergroup Dialogues
This project evaluates the effects of intergroup dialogue courses at ten universities and colleges. Particular attention is paid to three sets of student outcomes: social identities; intergroup communication skills/motivation; commitment to intergroup understanding and collaboration. Five major hypotheses guide the research, all of which concern predicted effects of intergroup dialogues in comparison to wait-list controls and three multicultural courses: social science courses on gender and/or race; living-learning programs; and community-service courses.
Effects will be tested comparing:
- students randomly assigned from applicants to intergroup dialogues either to a dialogue or to a wait-list, and,
- dialogue participants with students enrolled in the three other multicultural courses.
Pre- and post-measures will be taken of participant and wait-list/comparison students. A one-year follow-up will be conducted to assess longer-term effects, comparing the dialogue students with students in the social science courses, living-learning program, and community-service course. In addition to descriptive statistics, the project will use the inferential analysis framework of hierarchical linear modeling to address the clustering that occurs due to university as well as the longitudinal aspects of the study design.
Participating institutions include: Arizona State University, University of California San Diego, University of Illinois, University of Maryland, University of Massachusetts Amherst, The University of Michigan, Occidental College, Syracuse University, University of Texas Austin, University of Washington.
Funding for this project is provided by the William T. Grant Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and Occidental College.
Engaging Racial Identity for Socially Just Intergroup Relations: A Randomized Field Experiment
Jaclyn Rodriguez (Occidental College), Patricia Gurin (The University of Michigan), Nicholas Sorensen (American Institutes for Research)
How can institutions of higher education prepare an increasing diverse student body for inclusive democracy? Demographic projections suggest that by 2042 whites will comprise approximately half of the United States' population (United States Census, 2007). While an increasingly multicultural landscape offers greater potential for interracial interactions, it also invites complicated questions for educators. In what ways should race be examined in the academy, by whom, and with what goals in mind? This paper takes a "color conscious" approach to race and proposes that explicit, sustained attention to racial identity in an Intergroup Dialogue cours:
- increases engagement with racial identity
- generates favorable, collaborative intergroup relationships
- among both students of color and for White students
Although much of the social psychological literature on intergroup relations warns against making group identity salient (Tajfel, 1978; Brewer & Miller, 1984) some research supports acknowledging and working with identities that are important to group members (Doidio, Gaertner, Shnabel, Saguy, Johnson, 2010; Tatum, 2008; Zuniga, Nagda, Chesler, Cytron-Walker, 2007). Recent studies in social psychology go further to suggest that an authentic understanding of intergroup relations may require attending to group membership, especially if social change and constructive, long-standing intergroup relations are important goals (Saguy, Dovidio, & Pratto, 2008; Saguy, Tausch, Dovidio, Pratto, 2009). Despite the importance of racial identity in people's lives, little research has examined how ongoing, explicit attention to racial identity in intergroup relations both increases involvement in one's own group identity and fosters motivation to bridge to and collaborate across identity groups.
Survey data from a nine-campus field experiment on semester-long Intergroup Dialogue courses form the basis of our analyses. 737 students who had expressed interest in Intergroup Dialogue were randomized to enroll in a Race Dialogue course or to participate in a waitlist control group. Participants' attitudes concerning racial identity engagement, motivation to bridge differences, attributions for inequality, and commitment to social action were assessed:
- at the beginning of the semester (pretest)
- at the end of the semester (post-test)
- one year after the Dialogue course was completed (post-post-test). Surveys assessed Racial Identity Engagement, Motivation to Bridge Differences, and Commitment to Social Action.
Participation in Intergroup Dialogue increased racial identity engagement for both students of color and white students. Increased change in racial identity engagement was also positively correlated with increased motivation to bridge intergroup differences, structural understanding of inequality, and frequency of social action to redress inequality. These findings are significant because they paint a consistent and persistent portrait: engaging race has favorable consequences for both students of color and white students and the consequences are evident even one year later. In short these results suggest that semi-structured, pedagogical attention to race can promote, rather than hamper, intergroup understanding and social change among participants.

By BRIAN PERRY
Republicans need a net gain of four seats to take control of the United States Senate.¬Ý Such a victory would return Mississippi'Äôs senior Senator Thad Cochran to the position of Chairman of Senate Appropriations.¬Ý
It doesn't seem likely this year.
Republicans are hopeful to take Democratic seats in Montana, North Dakota and Nebraska.¬Ý But following the retirement of Maine Republican Olympia Snowe, the GOP appears likely to lose that seat; the defeat of Republican Senator Richard Lugar in the primary to the Tea Party supported Richard Mourdock has turned Indiana into a toss-up; the for sure defeat of Missouri Democrat incumbent Claire McCaskill evaporated with Republican nominee Todd Akin'Äôs remarks about rape; and incumbent Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown slightly trails his challenger in the polls and fundraising.¬Ý
Republicans don't anticipate Democrats sweeping all those races, but the GOP goal of Senate control has become much more challenging and requires wins for candidates like George Allen in Virginia, Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin, Linda McMahon in Connecticut, or Connie Mack in Florida to overcome the Democratic majority.
Safe Republican seats include Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wyoming and Mississippi.
In Mississippi, U.S. Senator Roger Wicker faces minor competition in his campaign for his first full term.¬Ý Gov. Haley Barbour appointed Wicker to the Senate in December of 2007 after the resignation of then Senator Trent Lott.¬Ý Wicker had served 13 years in the U.S. House of Representatives following his election during the 1994 'ÄúRepublican Revolution'Äù and, prior to that, eight years in the Mississippi Senate.¬Ý¬Ý Wicker previously served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and retired from the Air Force Reserve in 2004 with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
In 2008, Wicker faced former Democratic Gov. Ronnie Musgrove in a special election for the remainder of Lott'Äôs term.¬Ý Musgrove and Wicker had been roommates and desk mates when both served in the state Senate, but that did not prevent an aggressive campaign by both candidates.¬Ý Musgrove had run statewide three times previously and won two of those races providing him statewide recognition.¬Ý Wicker'Äôs election experience had been confined to Northeast Mississippi.
Wicker'Äôs campaign spent about $4 million on television in 2008 and hit mailboxes with 3.1 million mail pieces.¬Ý The Wicker campaign outspent Musgrove $6.2 million to $2.7 million, but when party support is figured in, the Democrats outspent the GOP.¬Ý In addition to Musgrove'Äôs own campaign efforts, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) poured more than $6 million onto Mississippi television 'Äì rivaling Musgrove'Äôs entire reelection budget as the incumbent governor in 2003.¬ÝThe DSCC even bought advertising in the Baton Rouge, La. market to reach Southwest Mississippi voters 'Äî an unprecedented buy in Mississippi politics.¬Ý All told, according to the Campaign Finance Institute, Wicker and Republicans spent about $9.9 million while Musgrove and Democrats spent $10.5 million.
In the perfect year for Democrats — a weakened Republican brand; the hope of Barack Obama; massive turnout by traditionally Democratic voting African Americans; a former governor as their candidate; and outspending their opponent – Wicker still achieved a ten-point victory with a margin of 117,000 votes.
So now, four years later again in a presidential election year with a less popular incumbent President Obama on the ballot, it is little wonder that Democrats did not recruit a major candidate to oppose Wicker.
Wicker'Äôs Democratic challenger is Al Gore.¬ÝNo, not Albert Arnold Gore Jr., the former Vice President and U.S. Senator from Tennessee 'Äî Mississippi'Äôs Gore is the 82-year-old, cigar chewing, retired minister and Vietnam veteran Albert Nottly Gore Jr. of Starkville.¬ÝHe claims to be a distant cousin to the former Vice President as well as to author Gore Vidal.¬Ý Gore told the Mississippi League of Women Voters he wants to decrease subsidies to reduce the debt, focus energy independence on solar and wind power, reduce military spending and focus more on nation building, and provide citizenship to illegal immigrants to use their working dollars to fix Social Security.¬Ý He is self-funding his campaign and has not filed any federal campaign finance reports.
Also on the ballot is the Constitution Party'Äôs Thomas Cramer, a former Navy combat veteran retired from Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula.¬Ý Cramer, 68, is active in the South Mississippi Tea Party.¬Ý Unlike Gore, he opposes nation building.¬Ý He told the League of Women Voters, 'ÄúI currently have a list of 55 Federal Agencies that are interfering in people'Äôs lives and impeding economic growth that if eliminated will not only decrease deficit spending but increase revenue. We must first balance the budget by eliminating deficit spending then we can work on reducing the debt.'Äù
The Reform Party's perennial candidate Shawn O'Hara also appears on the ballot.
Wicker has been campaigning and has not taken the election for granted, but clearly his election this year will be easier and less costly than 2008.

New Thoughts on Relationships
"The principal motivation to make a relationship better is that there is no conceivable way it will stay the way it is."
"Nothing becomes as good as it can be until it has survived the thing most likely to destroy it."
In relationships, the rule, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a good reason to break it every now and then.
"To stay in a relationship rather than hurt your partner is probably not love, though it may seem that way to an outside observer."
"Marriage has this in common with riding a Brahma bull -- that its success is judged less on style points than duration."

LOVE the first one. Knowing that I am the talker and am married to a non-talker, it's a miracle that we have nearly made it to a 40 year anniversary (December -- how is that even possible?!). But it's so well stated -- there is a time to talk and then a time to STOP. Love it.ReplyDelete
Watching 'As Good As It Gets' with Jack Nicholson (no, I wasn't watching it with him) and all the things they had to endure before it got as good as it gets, reminds me of the truth contained in your quote. In fact, there is truth contained in all of your above quotes...which is why we keep coming back for more.ReplyDelete
We are also approaching 40 years of marriage. Mmmm, better come up with something acceptable so that life doesn't suddenly take a turn for the worst. Thanks for the reminder, Robert.
Jan, Ken, thank you both. Seems it's getting to be just we three in the comments section -- kind of a geriatric menage a trois. If you ever arrive when I'm not here, the key's under the mat (smile).ReplyDelete
you have an interesting blog. thanks for sharing, I enjoyed reading your posts.ReplyDelete
Well, Robert...I want to join in with you, Ken, and Jan, too. I just don't visit as often as they do! Thanks for sharing your key :)ReplyDelete
Sridhar, thanks much for kind words. Becky, I'm sure that Jan and Ken will consent to a "menage a quatre."ReplyDelete
I have enjoyed reading your words. The first quote about when to speak up and when to shut up is perfect. Being a newlywed, I should probably have that cross stitched onto a pillow somewhere. Love your blog and look forward to reading more! :)

High CHT on new overhaul
High CHT on new overhaul
At the time of overhaul for my O-540 J3C5D in a 1978 182RG I added a JPI 6 probe EGT/CHT monitor. The engine has run hot since the overhaul and now after 20 hours of flight two cylinders are still showing excessively high CHTS. Cylinder #1 runs at 415-420 dF while #4 is consistently at 440+ dF. These readings are at ambient temp of 35 dF, cowl flaps closed, almost full rich burning 18.5 gph. Cylinder #5 which has the factory CHT probe attached to it is routinely 350 dF.
My A&P has replaced all of the baffling, checked for induction leaks, checked timing, checked carburetor for proper fuel flow, checked the probe leads, the probes themselves and the entire cowling.
Does anyone have experience with this engine, this problem and have a possible solution? Thanks.
Re: High CHT on new overhaul
That fact that you have Lycoming cylinders probably takes that out of the equation. The next step would be to go to the GAMI website and download the GAMI lean test and do the HIGH-LOW GAMI lean test. This will tell me a LOT about the F:A balance and give me a very good idea about the induction system integrity.
If you want to do that test and fax me the charts, I'll be happy to take a look and see if I can help you figure this out.

Re: High CHT on new overhaul
OK, I see you are talking CHT...but in diagnosing a problem ust the full capabilities of the JPI.... What are your EGT reading for the cylinders?
If the fuel flow is lean on those cylinders then you know why the CHT is high.
Next, how is your baffling? Since you put in a new engine I hope you put in new baffling as well. And check on how well it seals against the upper cowl. ALSO... Check to see if you have the aluminum baffles and springs on the bottom side of the cylinders. If they are lose, missing or broken your temps will go up.
"Chop'd Liver"
Re: High CHT on new overhaul
EGT's all below 1160F running about 18.5 GPH. Rich yes, but it's the only way to keep things even close to cool enough. Baffling has just been replaced and we're checking to see how much difference that makes.
We have also checked the probes and found them to be indicating correctly.
I have located two other early model 182RG owners who have had serious problems with the #4 cylinder which may point to a baffle design problem that never came to light prior to the multi-point engine monitoring systems now available. If I had not installed my JPI EDM-700 at overhaul there is no way I would even be aware of what is going on with #1 and #4 running so hot.
Later 182RGs had the oil cooler moved to the rear and the turbos have at least one additional baffle near the #4 cylinder, which says to me that Cessna may have figured out they had a design flaw in the early versions of the model. Mine is # 257.
Marty Coniglio
Re: High CHT on new overhaul
Problem Solved! After chasing everthing from induction leaks to valve clearances and replacing all of the baffle seals I suggested checking the mag timing. Ah, it was advanced several degrees, causing the engine to run very hot. With proper timing all of the CHTs are now below 400F and it seems that the sealing of all fixable leaks in the baffling have resulted in another knot or two of airspeed.
Another testimonial for a multi-probe engine monitor, without it I would have burned up these new rings in no time and would be doing a top overhaul and scratching my head as to why.

On-loan striker Romelu Lukaku is confident he will remain at West Brom for the remainder of the season - rather than return to his parent club Chelsea in January.
The Blues could activate a clause during the transfer window whereby Lukaku would have to return to Stamford Bridge. But Lukaku does not believe the appointment of Rafael Benitez as manager will alter his own position and he expects to stay at the Hawthorns until May.
Lukaku, in an exclusive interview with the Wolverhampton Express and Star, said: "I don't think about the option. I am very happy to be here for one year."

DH and I are in Month #3 of TTC #1. Trying to do this with no meds after being on BC for the past 4 years.
I just want a baby that is healthy and sticky and strong.
This is my 3rd post on this website. I am 35 and in January this year, tried to get pregnant for the first time. The funny thing is I think we succeeded because my period is about 2 weeks late and 3 Equate tests showed a faint horizontal line to make the positive. I hope this isn't wishful thinking! I can't believe it and I will believe only after I come back from the midwife visit on March 12. Keeping my fingers crossed! God help all of you get pregnant.
Thanks for all the prayers!
Nikki , partner to Jeremy . Baby Joshua Nolan is finally here after a many year struggle with infertility. I blog at www.loliecraft.blogspot.com.
My husband and I are TTC #2.
Thanks! Praying for you girls...
mama to 9 year old h 3 year old z and brand spanking new baby m
lots of love!
_/\_ praying.
please add me to prayer list
Ladies, I just want to take a moment and say I am praying for each of you. I said my prayers this morning, opened up this list and spoke each of your names outloud.
I'm going through an interesting cycle right now and I hope that AF decides to come back soon (she's been missing for almost two months) so that my husband and I can keep TTC #2.
Praying for you guys! Hang in there!
Me (33) - DH (39) - DS (6) - DS (3months)
I blog: allthingsandlife.blogspot.com
Hello! Longtime Mothering member, but just noticed this thread for the first time. Is it still active? If so, I would love to have my name added to the list and would be happy to say prayers for all of you. DH and I have been trying for 3.5 years and have had many losses. My DD would love a little sibling.
I came on this board to share my story and to encourage a mother here that with God ALL things ARE possible. I and DH TTC'd for 2 years, and a month after the anniversary of when we first started, we got pregnant. This is how:
Our rainbow is here! arrived on his due date
I and DH had just kept on praying for a baby and timing our BD without success. This kept on happening until we almost lost hope. We went for check-ups and Dr said we were in excellent health.
Our rainbow is here! arrived on his due date
Praying for everyone to get their BFP this next cycle.

Is it just me, or was that an exceptionally edgy critique of greenwashing and superficially progressive entrepreneurism?

Richard and Allen are kidnappers from a multigenerational kidnapping family. They're thingstarting a sustainable, green kidnapping practice that supports local farmers, green energy, and a community focus with biodegradable filthy rags and organic chloroform. They've got some great rewards for supporters, too -- I want a copy of their book Sustainable Kidnapping, with a forward by Michael Pollan!

Update: The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has confirmed the name "Copernicium" for element 112 and given it the symbol Cn. The first choice for the chemical symbol, "Cp", was rejected. IUPAC give their reasons here (pdf):
"We note that an initial proposal by the discoverers that Cp be the symbol for copernicium was found not to be acceptable principally because this symbol had earlier been used for element with atomic number 71 (lutetium) which, prior to 1949, had cassiopeium as an alternative allowed name."
IN THE next few weeks, a new name will appear in the periodic table when the element with atomic number 112 receives a new name - sealing its place in the family of chemical elements. Known till now by the provisional name ununbium, element 112 will be named by its discoverers, a group led by Sigurd Hofmann at ...

Walk 2041 - Barf (via the Bishop) and Lords Seat
Not as easy as it looks this short Lake District walk is full of challenges as it includes one of the most noticeable features of the North Western fells - the "bishop" of Barf. This walk passes the Bishop on the way to the summit. Although the walk is short, this direct ascent of Barf is a steep climb on scree and heather plus an easy but exposed rock traverse at the half way point which puts the walk close to the "hard" category and only fit walkers with some scrambling experience should attempt it. Others will find a much easier path marked on the map approaching the summit of Barf from near the top of Beckstones Gill.
Suggested Maps
It is recommended you take a map with you when following a walk route. The preferred scale is 1:25000 used by the Explorer series.
Note : If two maps are listed at the same scale then either (a) both are required for full coverage of the route or (b) the route is covered on both maps.

Known together as "The MiGi Girls", Michele Adams and Gia Russo bring their personable charm and fresh, unique style to everyday living through their television shows, lifestyle books, product lines and magazine editorials. Michele and Gia met while working as editors and designers for Martha Stewart Living in New York City. In 1999 they left Martha Stewart Living and moved to Los Angeles to form their own company.
As television personalities, Michele and Gia hosted two Fine Living Network shows: The Art of the Party with the MiGi Girls and The Perfect Surprise Party. They have appeared as guests on numerous programs including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Weekend Today in New York and Style Network. They partnered with AOL to host a series called Entertaining with Michele and Gia that featured video clips, GMC-sponsored tips, podcasts, mobile downloads and party tips. Their engaging style has also led to endorsements and roles as spokespersons with high-profile brands such as Baby Gap, Amazon and Pepperidge Farm. Gia recently was the design expert on the TLC lifestyle makeover series REAL SIMPLE. REAL LIFE. Each of the series' 15 hour-long episodes helped busy women tackle their daily challenges, sharing strategies to help make life easier.
Michele and Gia also penned a series of three lifestyle books: At Home with Friends, Wedding Showers and Baby Showers. Their first book was selected for Oprah's Book List, was on the best-seller list at Amazon, and nominated for a Gourmand International Award for best entertaining book. They have contributed to over 100 editorials in such titles as InStyle, O Magazine, Lucky, Glamour and Fit Pregnancy.
Fall 2006 brought the launch of their own line of MiGi-branded products: The MiGi Baby Collection (a top pick with celebrity moms) and MiGi Tabletop (items for home and entertaining). The recently launched MiGi line of stationery, a collaboration between the MiGi girls and current Tiny Prints designer Kirby Woodson of Petite Alma, is now available at tinyprints.com. In summer 2009, two custom MiGi-designed "new baby" floral arrangements will be available through Teleflora.
When Michele and Gia are not working, they are busy running after their 3-year old boys.
We all want a home that reflects who we are. A place that is truly our own, that is comfortable, inviting and warm. Sometimes we forget how important it is to create spaces where we can live, entertain and celebrate life's special moments, milestones and memories. A full and well-balanced life starts at home, by creating an environment that reflects the best of who we are and who we want to be.
MiGi believes this is made possible by embracing personal style and making it accessible.

Drawing inspiration from the classics and vintage, MiGi creates new combinations of colors, textures and fabrics making it possible for everyone to achieve their own signature style, truly turning any space into a home.

Well this is a quote that will have pregnant women up in arms! Kim Kardashian, who gave birth to North West last year, gave some definitive pregnancy style advice in an interview with Elle magazine. "I recommend hiding for a good year and having no pregnancy style. That's what I recommend. If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house." Sisters Kourtney and Khloé, who were also being interviewed, urged her to give another answer, but she stuck to her guns. "That's really my recommendation. Wear a huge blanket."
Now as much as I love to judge when a celeb puts her well heeled foot in her mouth, I think K deserves a little leniency on this one. The new mom is still traumatized from all the criticism she received about her pregnancy weight gain and style (and yes, dolls, I am guilty of criticizing some of her worst looks), and just needs to vent. As long as she doesn't actually dole that advice out to new moms…
…Oh but wait. Kim made these remarks to Elle at an event hosted by Babies "R" Us…for 65 pregnant women.
Oops! At least Kourtney chimed in that her pregnancy style is all about comfort. Hopefully the moms chatted with the more optimistic Kardashian, and are not currently holed up hiding until it's time to give birth.
What do you think, dolls. Is Kim's advice right on, or a PR disaster?

Construction Highlights
Fitment Details
If serious power gains and exquisite sound is what you're looking for; consider the search officially over. Our Mk6 TSI turbo-back exhaust systems provide instant results: significant horsepower and torque gains, high performance sound, and worry-free fitment. More than just a pile of pipes, our turbo-back systems are precision fabricated from CNC machined flanges, CNC mandrel bent piping, Magnaflow mufflers, and mirror polished tips. The result of our meticulous metalworking is a heavy duty exhaust system that fits like it should and outperforms the competition.
Modular by design, our turbo-back systems offer endless configuration options. Starting with the downpipe, our systems are available in street or race configurations. Street series systems include a Magnaflow 200 cell catalytic converter. Race series systems include a test pipe. On race day the cat can be easily swapped for a test pipe. An optional resonator provides a more mellow exhaust note, available at any time. The cat-back portion of our system is available in 2.5" or 3" piping. 3" piping is typically preferred for all-out power while 2.5" offers a more refined sound and powerband.
Our Mk6 TSI turbo-backs are technically a combination of our 3" downpipes and our 2.5" & 3" cat-backs. Repeating the features of our downpipes and cat-backs would only make a long story longer. To learn more, follow the links below to review the detailed construction and fitment information for both systems.2.0T TSI 3" Downpipe2.0T TSI 2.5"/3" Cat-Backs
One feature our downpipes and cat-backs can't boast on their own is power gain. In our extensive testing we road tested our daily driver TSI with a long list of exhaust configurations. We found every exhaust modification to be worthwhile, but maximum gains were found using our 3" turbo-back. No power losses have been felt, and boost holds out longer with the stock turbocharger. In fact, we're unable to mention any caveats. We would like to prove our findings, but our local dyno shop suffered a fire and the closest shop will call for a scheduled road trip. Soon, we hope.
The following sound clips were recorded using our 2010 GTI 2.0T TSI. The GTI is equipped with our 3" turbo-back exhaust system. Besides the exhaust, the car has an aftermarket cold air intake installed and GIAC software. Click the play button next to each video to download and play!
