A majority of lawyers begin their careers in private practice. Over the last few years, about 65 percent of UT Law graduates began their careers in private practice, going to work for large, midsize, and small private firms.
Large Firms Job Search | Small & Midsize Firms Job Search | Targeted Mailings
Private practice in a large or midsize firm can encompass many areas of law and, because of the involvement of some firms in pro bono work, include virtually every type of client. Many large and midsize firms serve primarily substantial corporate and individual clients, often offer greater resources than smaller firms, and have attorneys specializing in a variety of different practice areas. Generally, these firms have several specialized departments, such as employment, education, civil litigation, corporate, real estate, bankruptcy, intellectual property, and estate planning.
New associates are usually assigned to a particular department where they work on projects that fall under the specialization of that department. A few firms have rotation programs that allow new associates to work for designated time periods in several or all of their departments. Rotation programs may help new attorneys determine the particular area in which they wish to specialize. Many summer associate programs are structured on a rotation basis as well.
Many large firms recruit students during on-campus interviews (OCI). In general, employers who participate in OCI are those with predictable hiring patterns and a recruiting staff able to process a large volume of student resumes and to organize formal recruitment programs, such as large law firms. In the fall, 2Ls interview for summer clerkships and 3Ls interview for postgraduate positions. Some employers come to Spring OCI to interview 1Ls and 2Ls for summer clerkship positions and 3L students for postgraduate positions. It's important to note that many OCI employers tend to have fairly stringent hiring criteria. If you choose to participate in Fall or Spring OCI, it is important to keep in mind that these programs are just one avenue for conducting your job search. In addition, you may want to participate in off-campus job fairs, which can give you access to employers who do not come to interview on campus, as it shows the employers that you are committed to working in their cities. In addition, large firms also post summer associate and entry-level associate positions on the Job Bank on UT Law Symplicity.
Many new graduates choose a small firm as their first legal employer. As in the case of large and midsize firms, lawyers in small firms represent all types of clients in virtually every area of law. Small firms typically serve more privately held businesses and individuals than large corporate clients. Size, however, does not always determine the nature or sophistication of a firm's practice. Many small firms are relatively recent spin-offs of their larger counterparts, while others are boutique firms that specialize in particular, and often extremely complex, practice areas. Small firms frequently give new associates responsibility and autonomy more quickly than do large or midsize firms. Many new lawyers choose small firm practice because these firms offer them the opportunity to work closely with clients and firm partners early in their careers. Small firms are usually less hierarchical and departmentalized than larger firms. Although small firms generally pay new associates lower salaries than do large or midsize firms, there is a wide range of small firm starting salaries, and billable hour requirements tend to be lower than at larger firms.
Looking for a job with a small or midsize firm requires initiative and perseverance. There are three primary components of the small firm job search: networking; applying to postings on the Job Bank on UT Law Symplicity; and targeted mailings to firms that you have researched (see below). Small and midsize firms also participate in on-campus interviews and off-campus job fairs, but to a lesser degree as smaller firms do not have a hiring season. Because of their size, they are not able to forecast their hiring needs in advance. Therefore, it's best to prepare to search for a job in a small or midsize firm throughout the year.
Although grades are considered in hiring decisions, they are not the only factor. A good "fit" is especially important to lawyers in small and midsize firms. It is important to show that you can work well with clients, as well as with others at the firm. Attorneys at these firms are interested in people skills, practical experience, maturity, work ethic, ability to work with clients and bring in business, and enthusiasm for practicing law and for working for their firm. You should consider how to demonstrate these qualities in your resume, cover letter, and interviews.
You can identify law firms that interest you through researching the NALP Directory of Legal Employers (EID), Martindale.com, Lexis and Westlaw, and through informational interviews that you conduct as part of your networking. Send a cover letter and resume to each firm that you are interested in. The letter should mention any connection that you have to the firm, such as a referral from another attorney, and should show a strong interest in the specific firm. It is important to follow-up with a phone call within two weeks to introduce yourself and to express your interest in the firm.

Cleaning up my digital workspace
Guest blogger: Carolyn Rauber
I use four tools to manage my work: Evernote for notetaking; Google Drive for document storage and sharing; Google tasks for deadlines, checklists, and reminders; and a nifty little app called Thinglist for jotting down names, ideas, or anything that might land on a Post-It note or on a pad of paper.
You read that correctly: I can describe my system in one sentence! Before you roll your eyes, just a couple months ago it would have sounded like this:
- take notes on a little yellow notepad. Sometimes, when I don't bring my laptop to a meeting, I take notes on the Evernote iPhone app (when I can remember the password I chose last time I reset my password). Or, depending how I feel, I use Google docs, MS Word, or the Notepad app on my iPhone.
- My documents are in Google Drive and the hard drive on my work laptop (I have a different file structure for each, though). Some of my files are in Dropbox, but only the ones I need to access at home. I also put files in something called my Home Directory, which I used to think was Netfiles but was actually my Active Directory web space. I have one or two things in Netfiles, I think.
- I have a constellation of Post-It notes, calendar alerts, Google tasks, large pieces of paper stuck to my wall, and notes on a whiteboard in my office to keep track of deadlines and to-do lists.
- If I need to write down a name, idea, or interesting book title -- gee, that could be anywhere.
After accumulating a year of stuff this way (I started at the Libraries in July 2012), I felt completely swamped. I decided to follow PIM's advice: take a few days, sit down, and organize my stuff. The challenge for me was choosing a system that reflected how I like to work. In an organizational fervor, I tend to create overly complicated file structures and tagging systems that look nice, but have no relationship to my workflow. That was what I wanted to avoid.
What follows were the biggest challenges, the ones about which my poor officemates heard me complain most loudly. I started at the beginning of the summer term, when my schedule was quieter. In all, it took several afternoons of effort, though I worked on it sporadically over a several weeks.
For note taking, I used notepads and my iPhone because I didn't like carrying my laptop to meetings in other buildings. I often used Google Drive for notes when I had my laptop, but it just didn't work for me because I couldn't differentiate my notes from other Google docs. I didn't want all my notes in a separate folder on Drive, or write "NOTES" in the title, either, because I wanted more context. For me, it was important to see whether the notes were from a conference or a staff meeting.
I had used Evernote sporadically, and had heard good things about it, so I finally chose to commit. First, I copied and pasted notes from Google Drive and from the Notepad app on my iPhone, to new Evernote notes. It took about an hour to create and tag these notes, all said and done -- the easy part. I then went through all my paper notes. I started to discover things like this:
These are meeting notes. Sometime after the meeting, I went back in highlighter to identify this note as related to the astronomy department, and highlight the key parts of the note. As if that would help me find or use it in the future!
I also found things like this:
Those are names of fancy furniture stores, hastily scribbled on meeting notes. The meeting was about statistics and serials, and must have been on my desk at the time. I don't know what I was trying to convey with the bouncy arrow.
As I typed my notes into Evernote, I made sure each note was tagged. (The furniture note was tagged "apartment" and "furniture.") It took hours, and I had to do it incrementally, but I felt much more efficient when all my notes were in one place. I could use the Evernote iPhone app to take notes on the go, or the desktop application on my laptop. I also discovered that I could attach files to a note; when I take notes on a presentation I like, I attach the slides. I still use the paper notepad occasionally, but I make sure to keep my pile of paper notes near me and type them up when I have time.
The biggest challenge of simplifying my note taking was typing handwritten notes. It took awhile to find and type everything, not to mention deciphering some of my handwriting!
Document Storage
For document storage, I wanted to access my files from home, work, or my phone. I also wanted to have collaborative documents in the same place as non-collaborative documents and put an end to the two-separate-file-structures system I had on my hard drive and Google Drive.
I chose Google Drive for the collaborative features, and the simple fact that most work I do takes place on Google Drive. I finally used the Drive desktop application I downloaded ages ago, and moved all the files from "My Documents" into Drive. I threw out my old, complicated file structure and created a flatter, simpler one based on the documents I knew I had. Then I chose a backup schedule.
I was also very diligent about what I kept and how I named files. I knew I had duplicates, versions that could be deleted, and files I wanted to keep. I went through everything. I deleted what I could, but mostly I made sure I could identify each file by title, and to rename it if I couldn't.
The folder that contained all my instruction materials was the biggest challenge. I had a year's worth of presentations, handouts, and prep materials. These came from class sessions, workshops, and orientations, and were all jumbled up. I could have created a folder for each session, but I wanted to keep the structure simple and flat. Instead, I created a file naming system for that folder.
I used the titles to keep workshops, orientations, and class sessions together. I added dates and course designations when I could, and tried to be as descriptive as possible. It's not perfect, but it works very well for me.
The most time-consuming part of this process was moving and renaming files, but it was absolutely worthwhile.
To-Do Lists
When I discovered Google Tasks, I was sure I found the solution to all my problems. "I'll just make a task for myself," I thought, "and will be compelled to get it done!" You can display your Task list by clicking the down arrow next to "Mail" in the top left corner of the page, then selecting "Tasks." I brought up the Tasks window in Gmail and went to town.
At first, I only wrote down long-term tasks and projects, but noticed that after I added a task to the list, I hardly ever looked at it. I had a difficult time breaking up with my Post-Its for immediate to-dos.
What I didn't realize was that Tasks are integrated with both Gmail and Google Calendar. A task with a "due date" adds it to the "Tasks" section of Google Calendar. I usually have my calendar up all day, so it's convenient for me.
I can now add tasks to the day as quickly as I add events. I make little to-do lists for myself every day.
Gmail has shortcuts for adding tasks, as well. You can save specific e-mails as tasks with the Shift + T shortcut. This is less useful for me, but I have used it occasionally when I'm in a hurry. Then I go back and add a due date to the task, which adds it to my calendar.
Those Pesky, Random Jottings
Remember the furniture note from before? I probably wrote that down after a conversation about fancy furniture stores. It ended up in the corner of a different note and was completely forgotten. I had tons of those. I'm looking at one now: a small scrap of paper that says nothing but "dieffenbachia." What am I supposed to do with that?
I ran across an article on Mashable that described an iOS app called Thinglist. It costs $1.99, but the description was what got me: "Thinglist. It's a list of things." That's exactly what I needed: a place to write down things.
This is now where I put things that would otherwise end up on a small scrap of paper in my office. The "dieffenbachia" problem is solved.
And that's it! That's how I organized my life: Evernote, Google Drive, Google Tasks, and Thinglist. Consolidating my information to those tools took some effort, and I'm still developing habits to use them. But I have much more control over my personal information! That alone is worth the trouble.

What Went Wrong
Doubling the team and halving the time does not
equal the same output! We knew this, but we
went ahead with it anyway, and gave ourselves
a number of headaches in the process.
1 MiniMal pre-proDuction
/// One of the great things about creating a tools
team was that we actually had a group of people
who could make and maintain tools to enable
our content creators to work their magic. During
EmpirE's development, tools were maintained by
devs who also had to worry about specific game
features at the same time. This meant that we really
didn't start with the toolset we felt we needed.
The problem for Shogun 2 was that with
such a tight schedule (a triple-A game in about
a year), the tools had to be developed while
production was in full swing. This was a recipe
for some real difficulties, and early on, the tools
group had the thankless task of dealing with
portions of the team rendered unproductive by
unstable tools.
Despite sometimes feeling like we were
fighting tools as they were developed, and
messing around with the pipeline while trying
to make content, things were going much more
smoothly by the end of the project, and in the
end, we made major progress developing tools to
set us up for an easier time in the future.
2 late Design
/// A big game project is an all-consuming
endeavor for the team, and this does not
diminish as release approaches. Quite the
contrary. This makes it a real challenge to peel
even senior design attention away from one
project that's about to release and onto another
that should have started some time ago! We have
always found this very hard, and the transition
from napolEon to Shogun 2 was no exception.
A significant portion of the team (artists
especially) were finished with napolEon many
months before release, and they needed to start
work on Shogun 2. The problem was there was
very little thorough design. It was frustrating
and risky for the artists to work with limited
guidance, but we had little appetite for taking
design attention away from making napolEon
the best it could be during such a critical phase
in its development.
This definitely caused some disagreements
within the team. Some did valiantly try to start
thinking about Shogun 2 up front, but there
wasn't the capacity to get into detail. The intention
was to ensure that any finished artists at least
had valid work to do, so a limited design effort
fleshed things out at a high level so that work
could proceed and no one was blocked. It was
an admirable plan, but without a more detailed
design, some cul-de-sacs were inevitably entered,
and there were quite a few things that had to be
retrofitted. Not an ideal outcome.
Partly, this was the result of such a time-constrained dev cycle, but we do need to get
better at planning. The transition from napolEon to
Shogun 2 was probably one of our smoothest, but
as teams and costs grow, and time constraints
get more severe, we will have to up our game.
The delegated team structure does help this, and
hopefully we can learn from our mistakes.
3 get noobs playing early!
/// Playtesting can present a challenge in very
tight development cycles. Either it's too early
and the game is not in a fit state for useful player
feedback, or if the game is ready, it can be too
late to do very much about issues that are raised
by playtesting. We are generally very ambitious
with what we try to do with each project, and new
features and content come together as a playable
whole frighteningly close to release. Getting the
game into a state when it is truly playable as
early as possible is vital, but this was a huge
challenge in such a short project, and getting a
true "vertical slice" of a grand-strategy game isn't
really feasible until much of the game is actually
finished; it's not like a level-based game.
When it was in a decent, playable state, the
whole team could finally play the whole game
as opposed to everyone just focusing on their
own piece of it. Suddenly, a deluge of revelations
appeared that might be familiar to any designer
who has ever watched new, naïve users get
their hands on initial code. The feedback from
team outsiders was absolutely invaluable in
making improvements. The problem was that
this happened so late. Coordinating development
better is vital so that each feature becomes
visible and playable without delay.
4 branches, branches
/// Two games became three, which became four!
In the beginning, there were battles: a super-realistic RTS game with thousands of soldiers
fighting it out on screen at once. The turn-based
strategy campaign was initially a wrapper to
generate varied battles and give them context.
That was the original Shogun in 2000. Over time,
the campaign game has evolved into a full-fledged strategy game that is, in itself, a rival to
series like Civilization. total War's unique formula
involved two full games. When development
began on EmpirE in 2006, we knew that, since it
was set during the great age of fighting sail, it was
the perfect project to introduce full-scale naval
battles: three games in one. Not to be outdone, in
Shogun 2, we added game number four into the
total War formula: an online career campaign in
its own persistent environment to give context to
players' progress in multiplayer battles. We didn't
quite intend it that way, but revolutionizing the
multiplayer experience ended up diverging into its
own unique game world.
This meant more code branches (yay!).
Shogun 2 was the first title where we branched
the game code in earnest, and we really went to
town. We had a main branch and branches for
campaign dev, multiplayer, UI, battle dev, audio,
and tools. We branched for E3, for alpha, for beta,
for the demo, for release, and for patch one. Of
course, branching was essential, and meant that
development could proceed at pace inside sub-teams' branches without the risk of breaking the
build for everyone, and always having a stable
main branch to test was invaluable.
5 coMMunication anD change
/// The feature focus that we gained when
splitting people into multiple sub-teams did
not come without cost, and the biggest danger
was entrenching the separation between
game areas, so that while each area might
be improved, the game as a whole could drift
into a disconnected patchwork. We strove to
ensure consistency and coherency across the
entire game, and while communication within
the small, focused sub-teams was fantastic,
communication between teams on a larger scale
was not always as good as it should have been.
Problems were perhaps most obvious
later in the project, when tweaks and changes
were being made at a furious pace to improve
and balance the game. Our origins were as a
much smaller team, where word of mouth was
sufficient to communicate information about
changes. We need to be nimble and able to make
quick changes without the protracted delays that
are possible with bureaucratic with cumbersome
processes, but in a large team, change-control
and diffusion of information needed to be much
better handled. What might seem the simplest
feature tweaks can have tentacles across
many areas and teams: UI, display, audio, text,
VO, advice and tutorials, and more. We need to
manage changes with an improved and more
formal awareness of dependencies.
the five rings
/// The challenge for the future is to keep
the series fresh and new—to allow constant
innovation. We are determined not to let the
increased team size diminish creativity, and we
always look to push the boundaries on every
product without fail.
As the team grows, we inevitably need
processes to keep things organized. We are
determined to maintain our creative, craft-driven
culture while getting better at organizing the
talent's focus. We need to get the best of both
worlds if we are to continue to make fantastic
games as each title and the team that makes it
grow ever larger.

Thats deff one krazy truck man. I like it.
hard to take good pics of the black in the evening but i managed to get some resonable ones
cab and chassis got a satin black coat .. not done yet more to come
some parts in chrome
bit hmmmzz theme (bit overdone maybe?) but i always liked the grey / red / white wall combination and never did it on a model , so this was the perfect one to do it
i also bought this kit , its from 1977 and in mint condition and all sealed
weird thing is it says 1/25 but it all looks so small ?? anybody knows about this ??
Edited by crazyrichard, 06 December 2012 - 08:46 AM.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 10:12 AM
yea I just posted about that in the obscure kits thread.. yea watch out for the painful small parts that brake easy on the suspension.. yea even as a little kid I remember that thing. I always thought ( as did my grand father ) it was more like 1:27 scale. I still have sealed the LIL John's delivery ( only thing diff was it had a 5 window sedan body with optional panel covers for the back side windows ) I build-ed both when I was young with granddad. and later the kit I have now is a ebay buy.
aah cool thnx !!
well not afraid for the small parts , i even dont know if i will build it straight out of the box , i may do some alterations
Posted 06 December 2012 - 12:43 PM
I love this project!! And I have one of those T Touring kits, but its blue on the boxart. Cool kit.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 05:21 AM
just dryfitted everything and now it kind of all comes togheter , will get a ton of detail like chrome mirrir , doorhandles , hoodlatches , wood at the back , chrome fuel tank ... a trailer

Barely 24 hours after the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) declared that the Christian Community was fast losing confidence in federal government's ability to protect Christians' rights to religious liberties and life, President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday ordered top security chiefs to track down the sponsors of Boko Haram.
The president gave the marching order at a meeting with the National Security Adviser (NSA), General Andrew Azazi (rtd); the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Hafiz Ringim and other security chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the president had at the meeting with the security chiefs directed them to engage in a thorough overhaul of their operational strategies in dealing with the Boko Haram saga.
A source who attended the meeting told LEADERSHIP that Jonathan warned angrily that government would not spare any security officer who fails to act promptly on any information concerning the activities of the terrorist group.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, quoted the president as telling the security chiefs to "Go after those involve in this heinous act. We must stop this Boko Haram madness".
The president, LEADERSHIP recalls, had on Wednesday night told leaders of CAN, led by Pastor Ayo Oritshejafor that he was contemplating an overhaul of the security apparatus in the country.
Speaking to State House correspondents immediately after the meeting, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Marshall Oluseyi Petirin disclosed that the President has taken decisive actions to restructure the security apparatus in the country.
He added that while the enormity of the challenges dominated the agenda of yesterday's meeting, with the new strategy being put in place by the president, "a lot of things," he insisted, "will change in the days ahead."
The Inspector General of Police (IG), Mr. Hafiz Ringim, had also while addressing State House correspondents in a separate interview said it was not easy to fight terrorism.
He said, "Well, we are all worried. Terrorism is not an easy matter at all. Terrorism is everywhere all over the world, particularly here in this country. As you are aware, it is a very new phenomenon here. We have not had this kind of thing before and we are just having it now. So, we are all scrambling to find our feet and face it squarely. That is what we are doing."
He added that President Jonathan's concerns about the security challenges in the country led to the emergency security meeting where the service chiefs and top security chiefs reviewed "the situation, where we were, where we are now and where we need to be.
"Security agencies and most importantly Nigerian police have made a lot of gains which have not come to the fore. I want to seize this opportunity to talk to everyone of us to remain resolved and resolute to join in the fight against this cankerworm that will not leave anyone of us if we do not put our acts together. This is something that should galvanize us in our quest to remain together and also to bring down the scourge", he stated.
He further assured that the police and other security agencies were ready to protect the lives and property of the ordinary Nigerian in the days ahead.
He said, "We are prepared more than ever before and I want to assure you that if we had not done what we did in Yobe State, if we had not done what we did in Kaduna State, indeed if the Nigerian police force had not done what it did in Kano, the recovery of the suicide bombing vehicles, the story would have been a different one. l assure members of the public that the Nigerian police force and indeed all other security agencies are now ready more than ever before to face these challenges".
Commenting on the number of arrests so far made, Ringim said, "The arrest of these terrorists has been going on for a long time. Many, many of them have been arrested and many of them are in detention. They are in the process of being prosecuted. The issue is not the number of arrests; the issue is the cooperation that all the security agencies need from each and every one of us in order to get to the bottom of this matter."
"So far we have arrested hundreds of them but that Is not the issue, these people to my mind are just the foot soldiers and we need to get strong evidence through the cooperation of members of the public so that we will be able to get to the leaders, masters and organisers of these people," he added.
On the declaration by Christian leaders to revenge the attacks on their members, the IG said, "Definitely, people are agitated and this Boko Haram terrorist group is not attacking only Christians, they attack everyone that is on their way including members of the armed forces and the police and other security agencies. From among us there are Muslims and there are Christians.
"I don't think it is a case of Muslims versus Christians or Christians against Muslims. That is why I am urging each and every one of us in this country to come together to lend a hand so that we can fight this scourge".
Meanwhile, President Jonathan will January next year hold a stakeholders meeting in the Presidential Villa to address the menace of Boko Haram whose actions have exposed the porous nature of the nation's security system.
The Boko Haram sect has been attacking some public and religious institutions in recent times with the latest attacks at the St. Theresa's Catholic Church, Mandalla, which led to the death of 35 people and 60 with multiple injuries. The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Ihejirika, a few days ago, organized a workshop for officers and men in Abuja where new approaches to contain the sect were adopted. Jonathan was said to have resolved to call for a stakeholders meeting possibly in January where a multi-dimensional solution is expected.
LEADERSHIP checks revealed that the idea originated from the meetings the President held with the Sultan of Sokoto, and the leadership of the CAN as an aftermath of last Sunday's attacks in four different states in the North.
The Sultan was said to have disowned the sect as anti-Islamic and asked the Federal Government to do whatever it could to contain them, describing the sect as "an embarrassment to Islam".
The CAN leadership reportedly rattled the President with a threat of reprisals if the sect attacks any church nationwide during the New Year Eve or New Year Day services.
President Jonathan was said to have appealed to the Ayo Oritsejafor-led CAN and informed the Christians leaders of his plan to meet all religious and traditional rulers possibly in January as a way of finding lasting solutions to the menace.
Meanwhile, all military and police buildings as well as other public instructions in Abuja are being kept under the eagle eye of security operatives. Roads passing near some of them have been cordoned off in an attempt to prevent any further embarrassment from the Boko Haram sect which has threatened to strike again this weekend.

"[C]ompeting Chamberlains and the hope of a Churchill." That's how Middle East expert Bernard Lewis described the choices on offer in America's upcoming presidential elections. Not much need to spell out who's who, is there?
Bernard Lewis should be able to spot Churchills and Chamberlains easily enough. At 91, he boasts a 60-plus-year-career as a political observer. (Furthermore, he was a Jewish Brit who lived through World War II.)
He made the observation last week while speaking at the University of Pennsylvania. He was, of course, comparing Britain's confrontation with the evil of Nazi Germany to the U.S.'s current conflict with evil in the form of radical Islam. Among other choice observations, he spoke about the "pre-emptive cringe" that prohibits good Westerners from speaking candidly about the Islamist nature of the enemy. Lewis also said that, from the extremists' standpoint, the defeat of the Soviet Union represents a Muslim victory and "There now remains the task of dealing with the pampered Americans."
Our Chamberlains are pretty vicious towards each other, considering their inclination towards appeasement. But Lewis' point is an invaluable one. We're so pampered we can't bear to choose a leader without our entertainment being the top priority. With identity, dishonesty, and nastiness as the main concerns this election season, any discussion of issues makes voters change the channel. And a long-view reminder such as Lewis' seems, sadly, out of place (or even histrionic) to many Americans. Here's to Churchill rising.

If one or more of your axes are only displaying 1-99% and you have tried to set the sensitivity to max and the nullzone to 0 then this is the fix.
1. You will need to edit the values in a text document inside the FSX folders
2. To navigate to this:
where yourname is usually the account name you are logged on as.
To see some of these folders you might need to show hidden folders.
3. There is a single XML document in the Controls Folder. You can open this with Word
4. Almost near the bottom you are looking for < SimControls.map >
5. Then you need to look for the device that is causing the problem, for example< Name >Pro Flight TPM System SLEW {C60814B0-F7D4-11DF-8001-444553540000}< /Name >
6. Then you need to look for the < axis > to ammend. For example the throttle has a 1% null zone: < AxName >RzAxis< /AxName > (The axis name for your controller might be different, the throttle could be Z also)
7. Looking in this subsection you will see < AxNull >1< /AxNull > This 1 is causing the problem so change it to a 0 to look like this: < AxNull >0< /AxNull >
This will fix any nullzone issue. Once you are happy with the changes save the Standard.XML so the changes will take effect.
You can then re-run FSX

Fair Haven commissions hydro power studyBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | January 11,2013FAIR HAVEN Town officials want to know if they can power municipal buildings with hydro power from three dams located along the Castleton River.
The Select Board this week awarded a $10,000 bid to Hartland engineer John Jay Boeri to study the feasibility of hydro power production.
Boeris proposal was the only bid received by the town for the feasibility study, but the towns energy committee said the proposal included exactly what the committee requested and recommended it to the board. It will be funded by money appropriated by voters at two town meetings, the most recent in March 2012.
The dams along the Castleton River are not owned by the town, but in the last two years the town has considered seeking a quit-claim deed on them. Town officials have hesitated to move forward on that, citing insurance cost concerns.
The new study is the second commissioned by the town on the dams. Several years ago the Select Board commissioned a study by Earthbound Systems that outlined three approaches to installing hydro power along the river.
Energy committee member Robert Richards said that earlier report, while it stated the town could generate power from the river, did not provide specific details as to how the town could achieve it.
The scenarios ranged from $1.6 million to $3 million numbers that Richards said they could not present to town voters.
Richards said the new study by Boeri will be specific and technical, and will give the town a recommendation on whether to go forward with any potential hydro projects. He said the final report will also give specific costs that indicate whether the projects are feasible for the town.
We would have everything but final engineering, Richards said. That is what we asked for. It will tell if we can do it or not.
According to the energy committee, Boeri will work in partnership with Ben Gordesky of Earthbound Systems in Burlington to conduct the study.
The guy knows his stuff, Richards said.
The energy committee also looked into the possibility of generating hydro power at the towns water treatment facility, but the water flow was not high enough to make it feasible.

39 year old man | South Boston, MA, USA | Seeking women 25-43 within 5 miles of Boston, MA
Greetings people shoppers...
Hi there. I'm Patrick. I live in South Boston. For work, I consult brands on their search/social/online marketing strategy. It's fun, it pays well, and it lets me travel all over the place... What most people say about me is that I'm fun and very funny. I also get 'smart' a lot, though I'm not sure I've earned that. I'm known for turning a phrase, being complimentary as well as asking a lot of questions. I've always been very curious and I dont suspect that will change. I'm looking to meet someone who cares about intellectual persuits, but always with a sense of fun. She's independent, tender and has a great smile. Random traits that I like are freckles, someone who's laugh dominates a room, or someone who bows down to the level of a child when they speak to them. Also, you must be the kind of person who is kind to those to whom you dont have to be kind. Character, after all, is found in how we treat those who can do nothing for us. Physically, I like athletic or slender women. I love a gal with a smart sense of style and looks good in stripes. My favorite part of a gal is her neck or d?colletage. Oh, and I get asked a lot so I'll say that my screen name comes from my favorite short story called "The Laughing Man" from JD Salinger's "Nine Stories." And lastly, please dont send "Winks" or "Nudges" or whatever they are. I'll just think there was something in your eye The kind of gal I like to be around goes after what she wants. If you'd like to talk, just say so!

Aerobics, Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Football, Hockey, Running, Skiing, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
My family had a Maine Coon cat named "Bill" growing up. He was very laid back and quite frankly, the greatest cat that ever existed. I like dogs quite a bit, too. I have a hard time not petting them. It borders on compulsion.
Some other viewpoint
Some of my favorite places in Boston are Toro, Anchovies, Francesca's, The MFA, The Trident, The South End Buttery, The ICA and the Esplanade. I spend a lot of time in NYC (for work) particularly the West Village or SoHo areas. Also love the Met
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
I dont watch alot of TV since my big three--LOST, Law and Order and 24--all ended. All TV is at the gym and mostly sports. I do enjoy Frontline, and I've dabbled in Dexter, Damages, and Sons of Anarchy.
I like playing sports--team sports when I can. I love softball, tennis, baseball...pretty much anything where you have to chase a ball.
I actually read Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" this year. I always told myself I would, but this year I did.

Colorado Man Threatens Obama, Mall of America
A Colorado native has been indicted on charges that he threatened to kill President Barack Obama and blow up the Mall of America.
A warrant was issued Tuesday for the arrest of Timothy Ryan Gutierrez, 20, from Cortez, Colorado. According to the Star Tribune, Gutierrez sent an email to the FBI eight days before the presidential inauguration that said, " I'm going to assassinate the new president of the United States of America. PS you have 48 hours to stop it from happening."
Federal court documents say that Gutierrez also emailed a threat against the Mall of America.
In the second email, Gutierrez said, ""I have rigged 40 pounds of C4 ... and my favorite TNT to 7 cars outside the Mall of America."
The Mall of America was allowed to open for business after authorities spent 16 to 18 hours searching the complex and determined the threat wasn't significant.
Gutierrez proceeded to turn himself in Thursday at the Durango office of the FBI in Colorado and is being held without bond, the Associated Press later reported.
Police say he will be charged with one count of transmission of threats and one count of falsely threatening to use explosives.

Thompsons Solicitors said relatives should have been told that former Lord Advocate Dame Elish Angiolini's investigation into the former practices at Mortonhall Crematorium had been delivered on Monday, April 14.
They issued a strongly worded statement last night shortly after Edinburgh City Council chief executive Sue Bruce confirmed she would be writing to the affected families in the coming days.
Solicitor Patrick McGuire said: "The families and myself are stunned that we learned this news through reports in the media.
"My clients are bereaved parents who have been to hell and back over this whole business and they expect to be treated in a sympathetic and decent manner.
"Being kept properly informed is the least they could expect."

Having just used the Heathrow to Edinburgh Shuttle I can assure Tam Dalyell (Thistle Diary, 3 February) that the cabin crew on both outward and return journeys did, as part of their safety presentation, say that laptop computers and games machines should not be used during takeoff and landing. Judging by the number of passengers talking and reading newspapers during the demonstration, it is no wonder that the message did not sink in.

2. Please press "Menu" key at home screen ->"Manage apps" -> select "On SD Card"-> click the one that you want to uninstall and uninstall it.
You can also visit our website to find the latest software to update your system.
- Q27Why couldn't I get the location fixed by GPS suddenly? If your moving speed is around 8-10km/h, you will not get a location fixed by GPS. Please reduce the speed or have a stop for 20-30 seconds, then you can get the location fixed.

2. Please connect your phone to PC via USB cable, then go to main menu ->"Settings""-> "Wireless & networks"-> "Tethering & portable hotspot" -> activate "USB tethering"
Method 2: By using portable Wi-Fi hotspot
1. Please go to main menu ->"Settings"-> "Wireless & networks"-> "Tethering & portable hotspot" -> activate "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot -> Go to "Portable WI-FI hotspot settings" ->press "Configure Wi-Fi hotspot" to change device name and set up password -> "Save".

2. Please make sure Bluetooth is off when you are using portable hotspots;
3. Please turn off portable Wi-Fi hotspot when you are not using it for security concern.
Once phone and PC get connected, the phone can act as a modem.
- Q31Why does my Android phone become warm? The phone will become warm following prolonged calls, game playing, and internet surfing or running other complex applications. This heating is a normal consequence of the CPU handling excessive data. Ending above actions will make your phone return to normal temperature.
- Q32How can I make my battery last longer?

Fourthly, you can disable "Background data".
Please press menu key from home screen->"Settings"-> "Accounts & sync" -> Disable "Background data".
- Q33Why does my phone screen become black when I end a call? ONE TOUCH 960C has a proximity sensor. With this sensor, the LCD backlight will turn off automatically when the phone closes to your skin and will light on again when the phone is apart. This design can help to save power consumption.
If there is some dirt on proximity sensor lens, the proximity sensor might not work normally and your phone screen might become black and couldn't response even if you press any key after ending a call. In this case, please clean the surface of proximity sensor lens and re-power on the phone (sometimes you might need to remove the battery first).
It is suggested to keep your proximity sensor lens always clean during your daily using. Proximity sensor's position is as below for your reference:
- Q34How can I set my own MP3 files as SMS ringtone? Please go to menu-->"File manager"-->press "Menu" key -->"New folder"-->input "Notifications" as the folder name-->OK-->Copy the MP3 files to this new folder "Notifications";
Then go to menu-->"Messaging"-->press "Menu" key-->"Settings"-->"Select ringtone"-->you will find your MP3 files here, please select one--OK.

GREENFIELD — The Greenfield-Central School Corp. has paid a $15,000 settlement to a local couple who sued the district after their daughter slipped and fell on an uneven sidewalk outside Maxwell Intermediate School.
The family agreed to the settlement offered by the corporation in lieu of taking the case to trial because "if the matter was litigated, it is unlikely that the minor would receive more," according to court documents.
According to the original complaint, filed in 2012, Steven and Brenda Taylor's daughter, 12, was a student at Maxwell Intermediate School in 2010 when she was injured from a fall on the sidewalk.
The girl was seen by the school nurse after the fall and sent back to class "without proper medical treatment," the complaint states. The extent of the girl's injuries is not specified in court documents.
The settlement agreement specified that $540 of the $15,000 total would go toward covering the girl's medical expenses. An additional $5,400 was to be paid to the family's attorney, and the remaining total was to be placed in a savings account for the girl. That account cannot be accessed before the girl turns 18, according to court documents.

Fit is always perfect and I find they last at least as long as advertised. After more than 5 feet of snow and below zero temperatures last winter my MX-5 Miata still looked like the day I covered it.

France has been putting out a number of surprisingly good horror films in the past few years, and I was happy to get a chance to see Pascal Laugier's Martyrs this year at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Martyrs begins as a combination of psychological horror and revenge. A young girl named Lucie escapes from a cellar where she has been kept captive, chained to a chair and tortured. After she makes her way to the authorities and is placed in a home, Lucie bonds with another girl named Anna but never really recovers from the trauma; she sees a demonic dead girl and refuses to talk about what happened to her. The police find the house where Lucie was held captive but never find her abusers.
15 years later, Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï) tracks down the people she believes held her captive. Anna (Morjana Alaoui) isn't so sure; the only thing Lucie has to go on is a picture from the paper and old memories.
If Martyrs had stuck to this plotline it would have been a fairly standard revenge film, albeit a very vivid and effective one. The violence feels very real, and all of the people involved in the first portion of the film are humanized before things start to spin out of control. When the bloodshed begins there's a tangible sense of impact.
Director Pascal Laugier was not content to stay within the confines of a standard horror or revenge film, however. Martyrs shifts partway through to something very different, and becomes more of a meditation on human suffering, pain, and the limits of what a person can endure. This section of the film is likely what earned Martyrs an initial 18+ rating in France (the equivalent of an X or NC17 rating), and it's not a lot of fun to watch. After a protest by France's Society of Film Directors the rating was reduced.
The second portion of the movie is also where Martyrs is likely to either garner praise for being brilliant and different or criticism for being sick and depraved. I felt alone in the audience when I remained relatively unmoved by it either way. That's not to say that it was pleasant to watch, but I have seen things in this vein before. They may not have been quite so drawn out and perhaps didn't have quite the same spiritual note to them, but I didn't find it strikingly new. The director apparently had a very personal point to make in taking the audience along for such a punishing ride. It would be painful to sit through this part of the movie if it didn't lead somewhere—and it does—but I suspect the payoff will vary dramatically from viewer to viewer.
Martyrs is not anywhere near as simplistic as cheap gore or "torture porn" and people looking for those kind of thrills probably won't enjoy it. During the TIFF Q&A session, Mr. Laugier said that while he loved the horror genre and its stereotypes he was a bit bored with them and wanted to do something different. Although I don't believe that it's a brilliant piece of work, he's certainly succeeded here; Martyrs is different from most current horror.
The TIFF description included this note about the film: "While many genre pundits immediately compare the two films, last year's French shocker À l'intérieur is an amusement park ride compared to the effect of the brass-knuckled sucker punch thrown by Martyrs." I think that this description may have drawn some people to see the film, but I did not find the description to be accurate. While Martyrs isn't an enjoyable film, I didn't find it as disturbing as À l'intérieur. Your mileage may vary. The two films are really nothing alike, and I believe it's a mistake to compare them at all.
Recommended for fans of extreme cinema and horror who are open-minded and who want to see something different. While I didn't find Martyrs as shocking as it was hyped to be, it did cause at least one viewer at TIFF to "lose their popcorn" and another to pass out . . . so it's definitely not for everyone.

The College Search
Conduct your college search with as open a mind as possible. Avoid thinking of colleges in terms of a few descriptive traits or adjectives. Remember, all colleges are complex, multifaceted institutions. For instance, it's doubtful that very many students at any single college experience the place in precisely the same way on any given day, let alone during any given week, or month, or year. Indeed, that almost surely is not the case.
There aren't any shortcuts to finding out about colleges, despite all of the guidebooks that purport to help you do so. Beginning in the spring of your junior year, write to the colleges that interest you and request to be added to their mailing lists for admissions information and publications for the next year. For colleges that update their materials and applications each year, such materials are normally available in late summer. Be sure to include your full name, home address, name of high school, and the year in which your expect to graduate from high school.
The important thing is to actually read the information the colleges send you. After you've done so, you should make a short list (half dozen or so) of the schools that interest you most. Then, check with your high school's college counselor to see if such colleges appear to be reasonable ones for you. If they are, spend some time checking them out in earnest. If you can, try to visit the schools on your list sometime between May of your junior year and the middle of December senior year. Plan to spend at least half a day on each campus. Take tours if they are offered. And if the college's admission office offers opportunities to meet with a staff member, be sure to arrange such a meeting. (It is likely that you will need to plan ahead. Simply call the colleges on your list to find out when interviews are offered, when tours are given, when classes are in session, and so forth).
A couple of key questions to keep in mind when researching the colleges on your list are: What resources, both academic and non-academic, are offered by college _________ and how can I imagine myself taking advantage of those resources over the course of four years?
Your goal: to come up with a list of colleges, any one of which you'd be happy to attend.
By the way, if representatives from the colleges on your list visit your high school or host information sessions in your area, make every effort to attend. After all, it's not a bad idea to show your interest in those colleges that you eventually hope will show an interest in you.

Orbital poised to launch cargo ship to space stationJuly 13th, 2014 in Astronomy & Space / Space Exploration
The first Cygnus commercial cargo spacecraft built by Orbital Sciences Corp. is photographed by an Expedition 37 crew member on the International Space Station during rendezvous and docking operations. The two spacecraft converged at 7:01 a.m. EDT on Sept. 29, 2013. Credit: NASA
Orbital Sciences Corporation is poised to launch on Sunday its unmanned Cygnus cargo ship packed with more than 3,000 pounds of supplies for astronauts at the International Space Station.
The liftoff is scheduled for 12:52 pm (1652 GMT) aboard an Antares rocket from Wallops Island, Virginia.
The mission, named Orb-2, is the second official trip for Orbital's cargo carrier, and is one of eight journeys the company has contracted with NASA.
Orb-2 was initially supposed to launch in May, but a Russian-built rocket engine in the Antares rocket failed during a prelaunch test, delaying the mission.
Cygnus will carry some 3,300 pounds (1,500 kilos) of cargo to the station, including food and supplies for the crew, scientific experiments, and a pump for the Japanese module to replace one that failed.
If launch goes as planned, the Cygnus should arrive at the orbiting outpost on Wednesday, July 16.
The weather forecast was 90 percent favorable for takeoff.
Coverage of the launch begins on NASA television at noon (1600 GMT).
Orbital Sciences and SpaceX are the two private US companies that have won billion-dollar contracts with NASA for multiple missions to carry supplies to the International Space Station.
NASA lost its capacity to reach the space station after the 30-year space shuttle program ended in 2011.
SpaceX and Orbital now make regular resupply journeys with their unmanned cargo ships. Europe and Russia also have their own spaceships that can tote equipment and provisions to the research outpost.
In order for astronauts to get there, nations must buy seats aboard Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, at a cost of $70.7 million each. The spaceship carries three people at a time.
Several American companies are competing to be the first to complete a crew vehicle that will restore US access to the station in the next few years.
Orbital's cargo ships burn up on reentry into Earth's atmosphere, unlike SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, which makes an intact splash landing in the ocean.
Orb-3 is scheduled to launch in November, and three more Cygnus missions are planned for 2015.

Montreal, QC (PRWEB) March 31, 2012
2011 marked WatchMojo's first full year of profitability, on the heels of a 75% spike in revenues.
As traditional media companies remain reluctant to fully embrace emerging distribution platforms such as the web, mobile and tablets, companies like WatchMojo are filling the void by producing and publishing content that mirrors cable programming.
With Internet users increasingly watching online video and marketers shifting ad dollars away from display to video, WatchMojo grew considerably in 2011. After finishing 2010 with 245 million all-time views, it added 466 million total video views throughout 2011 to finish the year with 711 million cumulative views, crossing 750 million combined streams in February 2012.
The company's business model consists of deficit-financing the production of short-form informative and entertaining videos on the people, places and trends that have shaped the world, and then distributing these under licensing and syndication agreements on multiple platforms.
A series of industry trends are also shaping up 2012 to look promising for the company. Namely,
1) Hulu, YouTube and Netflix are all now underwriting content;
2) Audiences on YouTube channels are now measured through a partnership between Comscore and YouTube. Indeed, in a year that saw YouTube tower over its competitors, WatchMojo's YouTube channel now features over 6,500 of its videos, generating over 125 cumulative million views;
3) VCs are starting to move funds into content, as their investments in tech and platforms have become saturated. In fact, while online video continues to grow in terms of user adoption and popularity, industry revenues have failed to match forecasts and the exits have been fairly rare. Video isn't immune to this reality: location hasn't lived up to the hype and online media in general remains small, especially when benchmarked to the total investment in the sector.
Early on investors shunned content creation models for aggregation and curation, with a focus on scaling and cost minimization; but as marketers demanded quality, credibility and authenticity, then WatchMojo's deep catalogue of 7,000 premium, professionally-produced, evergreen, brand-safe videos has come in greater demand. The videos' popular topics appeal to distributors; their brand-safe nature pleases advertisers; and their quality draws academic and educational publishers that seek new tools for teachers and students alike.
"No one will mistake our P&L for Google's, granted, but the fact remains that we have built a lean and profitable model to create high-quality video content at scale, that is a very challenging thing to pull off because quality content creation doesn't historically scale, especially video content," explains WatchMojo CEO Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, who launched the company in 2006 after News Corp. bought his last company AskMen.
"Six years into the business, we're independent, growing and profitable; it's a good place to be," concludes Karbasfrooshan.
