Excellent figure! Such an awesome trio! Can't wait to see the other two you come up with.
The Third of five of my favourite vehicles as a Motuc figure. First i had no idea how to transform the Battle ram in an Animal. Sure, He has a Dragon Theme all over, but i had made a Dragon/dinosaur with the Dragonwalker-man. So i go for the battleram-chariot Theme from200x and Mixed it with the vintage battleram colors. I remenbered the beautiful man-ram Custom from He-mike and Found the proper head i needed.
Shatter-Head (Battleram-Man) comes along with his wallbreaking headbutts and the Hammer of Courage.

While PDFs can be used for printing, they also have interactive features that make them great for forms, brochures, and prototypes. In this course, InDesign insider David Blatner tells you what interactive PDFs are, why they're so useful, and how to make them yourself with Adobe InDesign and Acrobat. Learn to make hyperlinks to websites, other pages in your document, and email; add buttons that navigate, show, and hide content; create a form with check boxes and text entry fields; and embed audio and video. Plus, discover how to add polish with calculations, page transitions, and more.
In the last movie I introduced you to the idea of creating a text anchor destination. A text anchor is a type of shared destination and they're really helpful. But there are two kinds of other hyperlink destinations as well, URL and page destinations. For example, I have my interactive catalog open from the exercise files folder and I'm going to select this group on the first page. Then I'll open my hyperlinks panel and you'll notice that a hyperlink was selected automatically for me. That's because this hyperlink is assigned to this group. Remember, groups act as single objects in InDesign so that you can assign a hyperlink to an entire group of objects.
Now I can see up here at the top of the hyperlinks panel that this is pointing to RAAMD.com and it's inside this group of hyperlinks down here. That group is called Main Roux website, and the fact that it's inside this group means that these are all pointing to the same place, the same URL, and that this group Main Roux website is a shared destination. So, let me show you how I made that shared destination hyperlink. Here in the hyperlinks panel menu I'm going to choose New Hyperlink Destination.
In the last movie, I talked about how you could use this dialog box to make a text anchor. But because my text cursor is not currently inside of a text frame, I can't make text anchors now. It will, however, let me make a shared page destination or a shared URL destination. In this case, I'm going to use URL and I'll type my web address here, lynda.com. And I can give it a name. This is important, give it a name that you're going to recognize. When I click OK, it doesn't look like anything's changed, but InDesign saved the shared hyperlink destination inside my document.
And it's just waiting for me to use it. I can find that shared destination that I made right here inside the URL pop-up menu. This shows me all the URL shared destinations. So, there is the LDC shared desitnation that I just created. And if I click on it, you'll see that the URL field updates to show me where this group is going to be linking to. You can see also that this hyperlink has moved outside this group that it was in. Now another way to set the shared hyperlink destination is by double clicking on it to open the edit hyperlink dialog box. If I wanted to make sure that it was pointing to the shared destination I just made, I could choose Share Destination from the Link To popup menu here.
Then I could choose from my various shared destinations from the Name popup menu. So this is important. There's the name of the shared destination, which is in this case is LDC. There's the name of the hyperlink, which is associated with this particular group of objects, which is RAAMD. And there's the destination, this URL, that the shared destination is pointing to. Those are three different things. In this case, I'm going to go back to the shared destination of the main Roux website. Then I'll click OK. Now here's where the power of shared destination hyperlinks comes in.
What happens if I want to edit that URL? What if I want it to go to a different website? Well, you know it's easy to edit this one link. But what if I wanted to edit all of the hyperlinks that point to the same place? All of them that point to the main Roux website. You might expect you could double click on that. But you can't. Instead what you do is you go to the hyperlinks panel menu and you choose, Hyperlink Destination Options. Over here at the top, there's a destination pop up menu that shows me all the different destinations that we've created. Contents is a page destination that I created earlier. LDC is the one that I just created.
In this case, we want to edit the main Roux website destination. So, to edit it I simply select it from the popup menu, and then I can change the name or the URL. I am going to change this to rouxacadamy.com. I could also delete a hyperlink destination that I don't need any more simply by clicking Delete. Or some times I find that after working on a document for a long time there will be a whole bunch of shared destinations that I am not using any more. So, you can clean them all up by clicking the delete, unused button. That's really helpful. I don't need to do that right now, so I'm just going to click OK.
And immediately, I can see that it's been updated for this object. This hyperlink is now pointing to rouxacademy.com. And in fact, it's updated for all the hyperlinks throughout the document that pointed to that shared destination. That is a lot faster, a lot easier than having to go through and find out which hyperlinks went to that URL and editing them one at a time. That's it. If this whole hyperlink destination thing seems confusing to you, it is only because it is to everyone, but once you muddle through it a few times, it starts to make sense.

Erica S. Perl weaves an affectionate and hilarious tale that captures the enduring bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Even when they're driving each other nuts.

Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder Reviews
Best BronzerI have purchased an abundance of bronzers in my life, but none of them have done for me what Hoola has. This is a matte bronzer, so be warned if you like shimmery bronzers you might not want to buy this. This bronzer is so pigmented, and I find myself only needing a little for a lot of color. It comes with a little brush, but I don't think that you should use that to get the best results. This bronzer is great for all skin types. I will definitely be purchasing it again!! — 4 years, 5 months agoLouisecarmenx | 13 reviews
An OK bronzerI was never a big fan of bronzers but I use this every once in a while to contour and give my very fair complexion some depth. Hoola's biggest advantage is that it doesn't have any orangey pigments, it's just a nice matte brown that works well on fair complexions. The bad thing is that sometimes it leaves your face looking kind of dirty. I don't know why, might be overdoing the application or the brush. — 4 years, 7 months agosalome_paz | 17 reviews

Almost a 10I would give this product a ten but the brush it comes with doesn't work at all. THat is the only thing that is wrong with it because applied with a different brush it works perfectly and looks natural. Also it is very buildable. You can go extra dark or just a bit bronze if you please It is all up to you!!! — 4 years, 8 months agoMaribell | 98 reviews
Great, natural bronzerI am very fair and this bronzer gives me great natural color over my full coverage foundation. As to be expected, the brush is worthless. I apply with my large Chanel powder brush and it blends beautifully. I LOVE the natural matte finish. Also, there is so much in the box it lasts forever and is worth the price. — 4 years, 8 months agoHauteHousewife | 17 reviews

Fabulous bronzer for gals that don't care for shimmerIt is sooo sooo hard to find a bronzer now adays that isn't too orangey and glittery. I use Hoola as a contour powder under my cheek bones, and on the sides of my nose. The color is a nice "cool" toned brown and the matteness makes it blend nicely with your own skin. Lasts all day, and the package lasts forever. It's a fabulous deal and is the best bronzer for contour. Plus the brush works great for defining those cheek bones! — 5 years, 5 months agoTTLBeautyAddict | 24 reviews

Really great bronzerAlthough it's pretty expensive, I think this stuff is great. I've been using this for years, both tan and on the paler side and it looks good either way. Some of the reviews said that it's too dark and heavy. However, like many other bronzers and other powdery makeup, you may have to tap off excess powder. That's common sense. The bronzer is very realistic, even when using a lot and looks great with or without other makeup on. It's a great product. — 5 years, 6 months agomariss00 | 15 reviews
Excellent product compact storageBecause of its small size the really good brush is not so easy to handle. It is also a bit expensive. — 5 years, 7 months agomacaomom | 42 reviews
HOOLA. Love It!I love this product. Finally, a matte bronzer with a cute name and packaging. Makes you think of Hawaii. Although I have light skin, this looks very natural on. Make sure to use a fluffy brush to apply. I even use it as eyeshadow. Very good product. — 5 years, 8 months agoJosiwack | 1 reviews
With Hoola, I can *pretend* i was in Hawaii!I love that this is matte, I love love the colour! It is my favourite bronzer in the world (i have olive undertones) and I spent so much money trying to find a cheaper alternative, that I figured I might as well just get the real deal! My only gripe is that I don't like the box (water can damage it pretty fast) and I tossed the brush! but luckily, I love it enough to look past all that ;) — 5 years, 10 months agoSummerB88 | 1 reviews

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 9/29/12
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey spent the hours after his no-hitter on Friday night celebrating with teammates and a healthy helping of Kentucky bourbon. By Saturday morning, however, it was back to work. Bailey says he answered every one of the 140-plus congratulatory messages he received after tossing the first no-hitter by a Cincinnati pitcher in 24 years, though he admitted he copied and pasted some of his responses to save time. While ecstatic over the greatest night of his career, the 26-year-old sees it as just another stepping stone. He eclipsed 200 innings pitched for the year on Friday night, too, and says he's as healthy as he's ever been this late in the season. Bailey still plans to start the regular-season finale on Wednesday before the National League Central champions begin the playoffs.

Enon Landenberg, Infinity AR CEO and president. Infinity AR
The UpTake: Enon Landenberg is taking augmented reality into uncharted territory by integrating it with artificial intelligence.
Augmented reality took another step towards being something more than just a gimmick with today's announcement that Infinity AR has partnered with Beyond Verbal, an Israeli startup that decodes and measures human emotions in voice.
"Augmented reality is the front end. It's just presentation," said Infinity AR founder Enon Landenberg in an interview with Upstart Business Journal. But this new partnership, according to Landenberg, will enable users to determine if a potential investor is lying during a business meeting, or if a romantic interest means it when she tells you she'll call later.
"We don't need to develop tone recognition," he said. "We take it from Beyond Verbal."
Founded in 2012, the Tel Aviv-based Beyond Verbal raised $3.8 million in venture capital prior to its launch in May. It licensed its technology to New York City-based Infinity AR, which is building a combined artificial intelligence-augmented reality hub that senses a user's needs.
The year-old Infinity AR will, in turn, license its offering via a software development kit (SDK) that integrates with the data the customer provides.
Instead of gimmicks—a video that plays over a newspaper or a dancing dwarf in a user's hand—Infinity AR is working to build cross-platform tools, including on Google Glass, Optinvent's Ora glasses, and Meta's SpaceGlasses, to create augmented reality that fully integrates with the user's life.
"We are coming from a human need perspective and we are trying to identify what you need to be a user for lifetime," said Landenberg, who is the former CMO of SpaceIL, a project to land an Israeli spacecraft on the moon. "If I want you to install me for lifetime, and use me for lifetime, I must provide you with really relevant content and context all day long."
Michael del Castillo is the technology and innovation reporter at Upstart Business Journal, a member of American City Business Journals. A graduate of Columbia University, his work has appeared in the New Yorker. He is also the cofounder of Literary Manhattan, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Manhattan's literary community and creating new ways to appreciate literature.

doesn't have bioinformatics expertise at his or her university. I think that's one of the real problems that we need to address."
The other problem, Fraser added, is that the various genome projects generally make no allowance for taking care of the data they generate once the project is finished. "For the most part, even for sequencing projects with bioinformatics support during the term of the project, that support ends when the sequence is completed. There's been no plan put in place for how to maintain and update all of this information."
"That problem is going to get even worse as we begin to accumulate more data. There have been all sorts of models proposed, from letting people in the community who are passionately interested in an organism do it on an ad hoc basis, to having this done in a more centralized facility, to having this done in a distributed way but with clear rules for interoperability. I've even heard some people go so far as to suggest that perhaps we need to come up with some sort of tax on genome projects that goes to fund a bioinformatics trust managed by an inter-agency group responsible for maintaining these databases."
Several participants pointed out that in order to maximize the value of the information generated by domestic animal genome projects, researchers and information technology specialists will have to pay more attention to data handling. In particular, programs need to be designed not only to maintain the data and make it accessible to any researcher who needs it but also to make sure the information can be integrated with new data and new understandings as they appear.
The biggest difficulty is the problem of scaling: A database must be designed so that it continues to work, and work well, when the amount of data in it is doubled or increased by a factor of ten or twenty. That will be a challenging job, Fraser noted.
"I'm not convinced," she said, "that any of the existing databases that have been built so far to handle sequence information are robust enough to scale to the level that we know we are going to need in going forward." The databases built to handle the sequence information are actually the easy part, she said. "We would like to begin to add in functional information, either directly or through links, to all of the existing gene and protein databases. When you start thinking about doing that, the challenge goes up by several orders of magnitude."
Owen White, of The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), made a similar point. "The National Center for Bioinformatics (NCBI) is doing a heroic job," he said. "They are doing an amazing job managing sequence data and

I was a little surprised at the pukani rock I received reading the reviews previously. Although I had one piece that I would consider a showpiece, the remaining 40 pounds was small (~6 inches) and will be difficult to build up to the size that I need. I guess I was expecting larger pieces. Disappointment. Great Rock By Keith on 9/4/2014 Keith would recommend this product to a friend I've started the aquascaping of my new tank build with this rock and it is very easy to work with. It's very easy to blend one piece with another making a fluid design. Make sure and watch the BRS instructional video on aquascaping if it's your first time. It really helps you get a natural looking tank in stead of a "stack of rocks". Get Reef Saver By Mark on 8/28/2014 Mark wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I had previously purchased the Reef Saver rock and loved it. Anxious to try out the other rock offering from BRS I ordered some Pukani. The rock came to me very dirty and unattractive. I only got a couple useable pieces. I still love BRS but I'll be sticking with Reef Saver. Looks great! By Maxwell on 8/27/2014 Maxwell would recommend this product to a friend This rock looks great in my aquarium. All the holes make great hiding places for my crabs from my Triggerfish. I will continue to buy more and more of this rock! Great rock By Richard on 8/25/2014 Richard would recommend this product to a friend Just as advertised, this rock is very easy to work with. Without any difficulty, my son chiseled a nice cave through it on his first try. Love that it is so light. Excellent rock! By Earl on 8/22/2014 Earl would recommend this product to a friend Just like the BRS videos. First order of 50 lbs was awesome with a huge 30 lb piece and several cool looking smaller pieces. Second order of 60 lbs ... the UPS guy dropped the box from waist height onto the sidewalk. I could hear the rocks inside shattering. Great job by BRS, as usual. Maybe get several smaller orders so UPS guy doesn't have to strain and drop your rocks. Very porous and light By Mike on 8/17/2014 Mike would recommend this product to a friend The best rock ever SUPER NICE! By Brad on 8/15/2014 Brad would recommend this product to a friend I was expecting the picture to be their best sample and the shipped product to be somewhat less attractive. I was wrong! I bought 40 lbs of Pukani and specified the size I wanted. I got a great selection of some really special pieces. The How To videos on aquascaping and Pukani dry rock are super helpful. I followed instructions and was able to chisel and Dremel several pieces into great caves/shapes. Very disappointed in this product. By Chris on 8/7/2014 Chris wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Ordering 57 lbs of pukani dry rock yielded 2 rocks I can use in my aquarium and a lot and I mean a lot of rubble over half a 5 gallon bucket full. The 2 usable rocks are very nice slightly larger than footballs. The rest was of the pukani was no bigger than 3-4 inchs across. I also recieved 1 or 2 that where not pukani rock 4-5 inchs in size with a smooth surface these rocks had no holes or pores and are very dense. It seems like I got the bottom of the bin sweeping in this shipment. Unhappy with size and quality of the rock. By cwood on 8/7/2014 cwood wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I just received my 57lbs of pukani rock from BRS. I got 2 rocks that where excellent one football sized and one twice the size of a football. About 20-25 lbs for the two rocks. The rest of my order came the size of a softball or smaller. A few of these smaller rocks are not pukani. They are very dense and smooth no holes. As well as half a five gallon bucket of rubble. In this order I recieved 2 very nice usable rocks and a lot of trash rocks mayb usable for going into the refugium. I don't feel what I recieved was worth the price. Great Deal By jmar on 8/1/2014 jmar would recommend this product to a friend I shopped around. This is the best deal out there. Pukani rock is very porous and make for interesting pieces! I asked for large rocks and ending up ordering too much for my tank since I was going for a more modern aesthetic. I ended up breaking the large rocks into smaller pieces. In my case I should have started with ½ lb per gallon. Great service from BRS! Very impressed ! By danny on 7/31/2014 danny would recommend this product to a friend PUKANI dry rock, ROCKS !! ! I have order both 20" & 20+" & it is the best rock I have every seen. I found it was pretty easy to make a few caves in some of the larger pieces, and make the rock structure very stable by cutting off a portion of the bottom following the BRS video. Some of the larger pieces look to be show quality. I am very impressed with the PUKANI dry rock. Thank you BRS !

Day 2
Mono Lake to Morongo Valley of the Phoenix
Woke up at 6:30 with a splitting headache and cottonmouth. Looks like Brother Thelonious hurt my feelings once again. I owe a couple rather embarrassing nights to the good brother, sneaky beer. I'm sure the altitude and likely coffee induced dehydration had a hand to play, but still, that beer just has my number. Luckily it's cold as balls outside which should hopefully make the hangover a little better with the cool air.
Glad I went with the Badlands pants over my Mojaves. Noone wants frozen man parts.
Excited to finally get a chance to see Mono lake, I pop, er, drag out of bed and load the bike up. Today will be a decent ride as I'm shooting for meeting up w Rocketgrrl in Morongo Valley by nightfall, 371 miles away.
Mono Lake
Breakfast in Mammoth
Back to 395
Bad shit happened here
A few weeks earlier I did a trip with the girlfriend down to Joshua Tree and back, as seen HERE, where we stopped off in the Ghost town of Randsburg. While we were in town I meant to stop off at the general store and get a hand mixed Sarsaparilla but never did. Figured I'd swing a little wide and grab one in the desert heat.
Juvenated once again I hit the freeway for a head down assault in the hot wind towards Mojave. The heat was getting brutal and my underpants were getting saucy so I put the camera away and just made for time. 151 miles to Morongo Valley to meet up with fellow inmate Rocketgrrl aka Phoenix.
I pulled into Morongo Valley in the evening after getting caught in some San Bernardino traffic.
Exhausted, hot and stanky I pulled up the driveway where Phoenix was staying and was immediately offered a towel for the shower and coffee, sweet salvation.
Phoenix: Up to this point, Phoenix was largely an unknown and admittedly a source of a little bit of travel trepidation as she was, well, an unknown. We had corresponded a couple times on ADV and talked on the phone a few times but this is the first meeting and didn't really know each other. Plus, considering I've grown rather accustomed to traveling solo over the years, it's definitely outside my comfort box introduce an "unknown" into what is potentially a challenging 20 day adventure into Mexico. Lucky for me... Phoenix is fuckin rad! We spent the evening tinkering on the bikes, talking shop and porking out on Mexican food as a warm up. Turns out we agreed on travel style, lack of planning style, food, humor, life outlook, politics and even spirituality. We already get along like peas and carrots. Huuge relief. This should be a damn good trip.
A few tasks to be completed before we depart for Tecate in the morning. I need parts for my electricals and P needs metric hardware for her crash bars. Plus we still need to sit down and figure out where the hell were headed to once we cross over. Hopefully tomorrow we get a mid to late morning start time departure then camp near the border for an early crossing.
UP NEXT: Twisties, pie and one last day in the states.

D3: Morongo Valley to.. someplace near the border.
Up early to start chipping away at a few tasks before heading out. But before any of that, coffee and some informal trip planning. This happened most mornings as nothing important was to be discussed before coffee. Bad shit would have happened otherwise.
Planning for this trip goes as follows: check out ride reports, look up things I might want to see, find them on google maps and then save the gps coordinates. P has a map of Baja so over coffee we highlight places of interest then once everything is on the map we come up with a idea of where were headed to. Planning never really included looking any further then the next day and the route made sense of itself as we would drive near places we highlighted on the paper map. Today we're just trying to grab some hardware for P's crashbars, grab some electrical parts for my LEDs that were already on the fritz, and try to camp somewhere near the border to set us up for an early crossing. Having neither of us ridden in Mexico yet, we both just wanted to get across the border and put some miles between us and the bordertowns where millions of Americans have been robbed and slaughtered for spare parts.
Found this little guy in the shower.
Pack up and hit the road, we'll grab parts on the way.
Tried the Harley dealership for metric hardware.. No luck but plenty of snooty attitude from the counter guys. Turds.
No luck, we'll find parts in a bigger town, on to Palm Springs. The road south was super windy, a good portion of the ride was spent leaning into the crosswind laced with sand.
Found a True Value hardware with the parts we needed, plus the guy that worked there stayed with us and helped us out in the parking lot to make sure all the goofy bolt lengths were right. Grabbed some Chipotle, picked up from freeze dried food from Big 5 and got back on the road south. P found some roads on the map that looked like they might be pretty decent and boy were they.
The roads South of of Palm Springs were gorgeous. I honestly don't remember the route now, but somehow we come into Julian on Farmer road. As we roll into town we see a pie shop on the right, sounds like a decent break after a bunch of twisties.
Hwy 79 out of Julian
Getting sidetracked with detours, pictures and coffee stops, we lose the sun and wind up scrambling to find a camping site. It's pretty easy to tell we're getting close to Mexico by the constant presence of border patrol SUVs all over the place. Time to pass out and be ready to cross the border in Tecate tomorrow morning.
Woke up to this little gentleman around midnight.
Stay tuned, the real pictures start tomorrow.
UP NEXT: Tecate, sand and an oasis in the middle of a Mexican desert.

Got an early start as both of us were pretty jazzed to be 15 minutes from the border. Downed some coffee and packed up. We figured we'd grab food on the road.
Last stop before the border crossing. Food tasted good, but not great. Plus the meat seemed a little, old. Hopefully the food is better in Mexico.
Hit a money exchange before the border so we didn't have to mess with trying to find a place in Tecate. Figured it would be a safer idea so we weren't walking around town or having to get off the bikes in a border town.
15 minutes of filling out a paper, paying a fee and.... Holy Shit!!
We're in MEXICO!!!!
Tecate is relatively clean, pretty and had a cool little park area in the middle of town with the usual tourist carts selling stuff for whatever the merchant thinks they might be willing to pay. Cool town but we're both itching to get some miles behind us.
After Reading Da Foole's RR on Baja, I looked up Canon de Guadalupe and highlighted it on P's paper map. Seemed like a cool destination to kick off the trip with. As we rode from Tecate towards Mexicali we stopped off and picked up supplies as it looks like we're going to be on our own once we head South for a while.
Funny thing happened in the grocery store.. A federali pulls up in a patrol car, walks into the store, walks up to the two of us.. Meanwhile I'm thinking 'oh shit, here we go.." He asks us if everything is good and that we just wanted to make sure we haven't had any issues. We tell him it's been great so far, no issues.. He's glad to here it, says goodbye and continues down the road in his car.. Definitely a sharp contrast compared to the kidney robbing scenarios I've been playing in my head about border towns. Perhaps this place isn't as bad as the newsmedia would suggest???
Threw some eggs in a container for breakfast
Grabbed some lunch before we hit the freeway. Every place of interest down here is covered in Baja stickers, love it.
1st Mexican meal....
Hit the road, E on hwy 2 to the dirt road south Accesso Canon de Guadalupe.
Halfway to Mexicali, hang a right and ride into the desert.
The dirt road starts of like packed gravel with plenty of traction and lots of irritating washboard. Turns out the washboard smooths out the faster you go so we made decent time. Somewhere between the vibration and the dreamscape of the desert, both of stopped paying attention to road and started getting sloppy.. Enter sweeping turn and a sudden patch of moderately deep but loose sand and I found myself wrestling the bike to not dump it. Got caught sitting down. P wasn't so lucky and had an easy get off, no blood no foul. But definitely no more taking the road for granted.
Noted. Back on the bike.
It's a good thing I had a renewed effort to pay attention to the road, otherwise I might have hit P's pannier when it ejected itself off her bike while she was riding down the road. Glad I was riding behind otherwise we may not have realized it for miles.
Turns out from the little get off earlier, one of the aluminum bolt holes stripped entirely and fell out. I offered to help(I think) but she seemed to have the situation well in hand so I walked around, took pictures and flipped rocks over looking for critters.
The heat wasn't too bad at full clip, sitting still and exposed it was down right oppressive. Started getting cranky...
Problem solved..
Back on the road and running out of sun.
Right turn Clyde
By the time we figured out that the ropes blocking the road were for cows and actually found the campsites the sun was gone. We ran into a couple that was camping there for the week, Phil and Mackenzie. North Dakota transplants living in AZ whose family has been coming to the hot springs for a generation. Had a few beers and hit the sack. That was a long loong day on the road.
Looking forward to waking up tomorrow so I can actually see what the hell this place looks like.
UP NEXT: 2 Days in the Canyon, waterfalls, relaxation and vomit.

Nice man!
Love the pictures! How bad/good were the roads down there? did you ever find yourself thinking "so glad I'm on a dual sport right now!" or conversely, that a dual sport was overkill and you could have gotten away with a street bike?
Looks like a fantastic ride... I may have to copy it in the near future

basic controllers9/11/2012
great for an extra set of basic controllers. already had purchased wii game with motion plus adapter.
good condition8/22/2012
it was in good condition
It is quite great.8/14/2012
This wii remote and nunchuck combo is a great buy for a great price! I am so glad I bought mine, and I cannot say that I regret buying it a single bit! I would, in fact, recomend this to any one of my friends. I cannot complain about this combo at all!
Great product.7/5/2012
Pleasantly surprised by this item. It came with the rubber shell, which saved me a couple of bucks and it's rechargeable. I don't have a recharge station (just ordered one) but was able to remove the rechargeable batteries and install double A's. I had to leave the battery cover off but the rubber shell works as a cover well enough until I get my new charging station.
I order this item and it never worked
Buy it....6/6/2012
recieved exactly what i was looking for at an outstanding deal. The order was shipped out quickly and got to me on the early end of the delivery estimate. The product is everything it said it would be and at half the price of the best deal i would have gotten in a store... Even used...
Wii Controller5/26/2012
this controllers been working great !!!
Wii Remote5/9/2012
I bought this for a spare. I've had this for about for a year, and it started to need a synce every time I turn on the WII. Not a big problem, as I'm getting really good at it now. After it syncs, it works very good. I also, noticed, regular WII remotes have trouble using this Knunchuck, but that is not an issue with this product.
Wii Remote Set5/9/2012
Came in plastic bags and not in plastic sealed pack. But it was brand new.
Working So Far, Good Price4/25/2012
Sent them to grandson as gift. However, he said they are working so far.
piece of junk12/29/2011
never worked right from day one
Good and cheap5/18/2011
Great for the price and works perfectly with my Wii
Non-OEM but still works the same12/29/2010
Works fine... I was surprised to see the number of complaints, perhaps it's skill and not the controller?!? The description clearly states, "Please note: This is a third party item and is not manufactured by Nintendo." Did you really think you would get OEM at this price? Buy it!
A product should work even if it is not the origin12/23/2010
I got the controller to sync, but only the buttons work. I can hit the left / right arrows or A / B buttons and the screen responds, but I can't get the "glove" to show up on the screen. I am having this problem as well, i am upset because this was part of a present to my kids and now they are a dissapointed. Since i see similar reviews i can only guess that next time i need to be a bit more careful before dealing a compnay that i know nothing of with a generic product being shipped to me. i thought this would be convienant but it was the opposite.
Great for the price11/25/2010
Works perfect. Obviously a 3rd party. I dont know why some people brought it if they wanted a genuine Nintendo product and then gave it a bad review. If you want a Nintendo wii remote and nunchuck get ready to pay $60+ and it is no better then this one.
The accelerometers DO NOT WORK11/14/2010
The remote and nunchuk do not operate. The accelerometers in both controls work at times. Unfortunately, I thought they would work all the time. I am not happy with these controllers. Good luck getting your money back.
This is not original product from Nintendo Wii. I should have notice but picture was so small and could not be enlarged and product was listed as Nintendo Wii remote. I really want to return this back if not for the hassle!!
It's okay...10/25/2010
It's mostly my fault for not noticing that this was NOT and Nintendo Wii Remote. In my defense I'm pretty sure that it was listed as "Nintendo Wii Remote" when I bought it. And you can be sure that I was surprised when it dropped out of the padded envelope and didn't have 'Nintendo' on it. After I got over my disappointment I decided that this item was okay. It's works about as well as my real Wii remotes, but I really wish it had the protective glove.
Very cheap and junky looking10/22/2010
This item didn't even come in a box or packaging, it was put in a padded envelope and sent out, when I got it out of the envelope I thought it was used,it was junky and very cheaply made. I was going to give it as a gift but I would be to embarassed to give it. That's what I get for trying to save a couple of dollars. Never again.
cheap 3rd party scam - do NOT buy the duplicate10/9/2010
PLEASE do NOT buy this crappy lowest quality product that is SOLD as Nintendo Wii brand I made a mistake of NOT noticing that this is 3rd party scam. [I wish I could send it back to them and get the money back.] SAVE the money and buy Nintendo brand and you will like the gameplay and quality. PS: I could NOT find 0 in the review stars, so I was forced to choose 1.
Excellent product9/29/2010
The product was as described and reached on time. works great and no complaints. Highly recommend the product.

Celis asks judge to disqualify prosecutor
CORPUS CHRISTI - Attorneys for law firm operator Mauricio Celis are seeking to disqualify the special prosecutor in his case, saying she has a conflict of interest.
A pretrial hearing has been set for Thursday on that motion and two others that seek to suppress evidence and quash an indictment accusing Celis of impersonating a public servant.
The charge stems from a September 2007 incident in which Celis is accused of flashing a Duval County reserve deputy sheriff's badge at Corpus Christi police. Visiting District Judge Richard Terrell is scheduled to hear the case next week.
A motion filed April 8 by Celis' attorneys seeks to disqualify special prosecutor Angelica Hernandez from the trial. Former District Attorney Carlos Valdez appointed Hernandez to try the badge case. In February 2009, Hernandez helped Valdez prosecute the first case against Celis in which Celis was convicted of impersonating a lawyer. Celis has appealed.
Hernandez left the district attorney's office in July to run for a district judge position. After resigning, she worked out of attorney Rene Rodriguez's office for about four months. Celis' attorneys allege this is a conflict of interest because Rodriguez helped represent Celis in civil cases related to the criminal charges against him. Hernandez also represented Corpus Christi Police Cmdr. David Torres when he sought an injunction against the city. Celis and the badge incident were mentioned in Torres' suits against the city.
"Ms. Hernandez is conflicted from representing the state against Mr. Celis by virtue of her affiliation with his previous counsel and access to the information obtained as a result of her associates' representation of Mr. Celis," the motion reads.
Hernandez said Monday she did not work for Rodriguez but ran her office out of his practice. She helped his firm on some suits. She said she called the Texas State Bar's ethics division after receiving a letter from Celis attorney Tony Canales in February asking her to step down from the case. The State Bar cleared her of any conflict, Hernandez said.
Hernandez says in her response to Celis' motion that prosecutors are only required to be removed from cases in which they previously represented the defendant.
"It is undisputed that Angelica Hernandez did not personally represent the defendant Mauricio Celis in this criminal case, or any case," she wrote.
Celis' attorneys seek to quash the indictment and suppress the badge as evidence. Celis' attorneys argue that a Nueces County sheriff's deputy told Celis if he turned over the badge it would end the matter. Another deputy later signed a witness statement saying the case would be closed.
Hernandez has filed a response saying Celis has no standing to make claims on the badge, which is property of Duval County.
"Mauricio Celis cannot use property that does not belong to him as a bargaining chip in any alleged immunity agreement," Hernandez wrote.

Publisher's Description
General editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship with life-related illustrations.
The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis, and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material, and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and vitality.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Game blog: Yovani Gallardo has another strong night
Yovani Gallardo continued his resurgence on the mound Thursday night, pitching seven shutout innings against the Pirates at PNC Park to lead the Brewers to a 4-0 victory.
The Brewers took two of three from Pittsburgh, now a game behind first-place St. Louis in the NL Central with a three-game home series against the Cardinals coming up. The Brewers are making it tough on the contenders, taking 2 of 3 from Cincinnati at the start of the trip.
In three starts since coming off the DL with a hamstring strain, Gallardo has allowed two earned runs in 19 1/3 innings (0.93 ERA). That has to make the Brewers feel better about him after an up-and-down first half. Brandon Kintzler continued his fine work out of the bullpen, pitching the final two innings.

Up to date for the first time, its crazy typing in real time drinking in a bar thinking about where I will lay down for the night, it doesn't matter, still walking and talking.
I left the city this morning after nice juice and muffins to fill me up and headed to the West side of the island, left the townie to hand with the baymen.
One of the neater buildings I liked in the city, the old rr station with the cool old copper roof, there are a few trains left in NF, just hardly any tracks at all:
Got little cris crossed trying to get on the TCH but hooked up on it and ran the big road to the other side of the island. Didn't take many photos flogging down the road but did get in a few.
The road ahead, I don't know:
I did stop once I saw a sign for some pizza, I was in the mood. Pizza Delight worked for today:
After the p break, pizza and piss that is, I went ahead and pulled out the hot jacket and lit it up, its so nice running down the road and flipping a switch and just starting to feel like someone is pouring warm water all over your neck, back, and arms. Its just a wonderful feeling riding in cooler temperatures with the powered gear, call me a wuss, I rode up in Alaska to Prudoe in Sept 2007 and look the the Michelin man and then is so much easier; you should try it if you have not ever.
I traveling through the Terra Nova NP but didn't even care to stop, I just continued on up the road to Gander looking for the Honda dealership and Dave Noel to see if he was around and check to the place out, alas all I could find was the old Honda dealer that was closed up.
Leaving town there was a fender bender that damn near shut the place down, me be the off roader that I try to be pulled down a sled trail and went down near the right of way to get the TCH and bypass all the madness from the little fender bender. I went down a way and no such luck so I didn't want to come back to the crash site so I bush-wacked it the 15 yrds or so to come up by a road sign on a steep gravel pad to get up to the road surface. I guess it looked impressive enough when I kinda launched the front end up enough and flopped over on my right side that a passerbyer in a black late model Chevy stopped to help me out. I think he thought I might have broken my leg beause I kinda knocked up a bunch of gravel coming up from down in the alder bushes. I got it righted by myself and thanks the guy for shopping before I headed back off again down the TCH.
Next stop was to take a look at Bishop's Falls, a small hydro project that reminds me of Black Horse beer flowing through the flood gates and over the spilway; you really have to be there to appreaciate it, go to NF and look at all the beer flowing freeely, maybe its the tar in all those trees
My new specs that I don't care for too much yet:
the pano from the area:
I loaded up with fuel and ran a little rr trail back to the TCH and then went on down the road. I saw a lot of clearing of the ROW near the TCH and was trying to figure out what was mowing this stuff down, I was figuring on a hydro axe or one of the hydro mulcher type instead I saw these big thing with s swirling blade:
Had minimal constuction delays on the TCH due to some minor upkeep:
Stopped at another town I already forgot the name of and went to their little logging meusum where they had outdoor and some small cabin static display of logging industry in the olden days when hand saws and axes where used. Nice and free because I showed up at 4 and they closed at half past that hour:
A pit saw, of the elevated variety
An old CAT road grader:
And the local internet hub here in Deer Lake where I stayed hooked up for a long time:
My refreshments for the evening:
And some more others:
Now I sit up in the hotel lobby now because the bar has closed and I listen to the wind howling outside the door and I need to find a place to lay down and sleep some time before tomorrow comes.
I'm thinking of the Bon Tour of Westbrook Pond but have a hard time bringing myself to pay ~50 $ for the 2 hour boat ride, well think about that as I try to sleep somewhere tonight.
I'm out, and this is up to the minute updated less the pictures that are stuck on my stuped internal camera's memory.
goodnight and sleep well in your warm beds, I have yet to put up my tent this trip but tonight is looking like it unless I can find me a barn or something nice for shelter like that.

Nice kit, the 3v3 regulator is a nice touch for those using sensors that only run 3v3. A 3v3 version might be fun–for the premium cost of this kit stepping up and using a LM1117T-5 instead of the LM7805 would be nice in the next rev. Then 3v3 operation is a simple mod since a pin-compatible 3v3 part could be subbed and the small 3v3 regulator jumpered.
People that are into this hobby are probably better off ordering the add-on kit, ATMega and crystal. I know I have all the rest of parts in my bins. That got me thinking, $15 for the missing parts? There are kits out there in the $13-$18 range (no 3v3). Are you sure you didn't mean to price this at 24.95? I ask because the add-on kit plus missing parts, unless I made a mistake, is $25.35 in your store. Public wishlist here: http://sprkfn.com/w21220.

The merger between CERAM Business School[5] and ESC Lille was first announced on June 30, 2009. They now form a single non-profit organization approved by their respective governing bodies (the General Assembly of the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Directors of ESC Lille). The official ceremony and announcement of the new name took place November 16, 2009.[6] CERAM Business School and ESC Lille were respectively founded in 1963 by the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce and in 1892 by Lille Chamber of Commerce. The school name, SKEMA, is derived from the Greek, skhêma (shape, figure, formation of an object) meaning schema in Latin. It also stands for the initial letters of "School of Knowledge Economy and Management".
SKEMA today[edit]
The school is now the largest French business school in number of students (6,400), second in number of teachers (166) and fifth in terms of budget.[7]
It plans to establish a student body of 8,000 by the end of 2015, to be accredited AMBA in 2015 and to reach a €100M budget (€62M in 2012) and a 50% share of international students (35% in 2012) by 2015.[8][9][10]
SKEMA has opened several international campuses to give its students an international experience. It has three sites in France in Lille, Paris and Sophia Antipolis near Nice and two sites in China (Suzhou) and Morocco (Casablanca). In January 2011, a new campus opened in Raleigh, North Carolina in cooperation with North Carolina State University.[11][12] Several new campuses are envisioned in Brazil (located in São Paulo with an inauguration planned for 2015), Australia, India (Bangalore) and Russia.[13][14] Lille and Sophia Antipolis campuses are the historic locations of the ESC Lille and CERAM Business School.
Paris campus[edit]
The Paris campus is located in La Défense, Europe's largest purpose-built business district and a major business district near Paris.
Lille campus[edit]
The Lille campus is located in the Euralille business district and close to the EuraTechnologies [7] and Eurasanté [8] technology parks in the north of France. The Lille campus gathers more than 2,200 students over 16,000 m2. Its latest addition is a tower opened in 2009.[15] A partnership has been established with the Lille 2 University of Health and Law to develop joint-programmes and gather the institutions research efforts in the Lille School of Management Research Center.[16]
Sophia Antipolis campus[edit]
The Sophia Antipolis campus is located in the technology park of that name in the southeast of France. Companies such as Capgemini, Accenture and Schneider Electric are near the school. New buildings for student accommodation, classes and societies are being built.[17] A partnership with Science Po Aix to offer joint-programmes, enabling business students to study political sciences.[18]
Doctoral Programmes[edit]
SKEMA offers two Ph.D programmes taught in English: the International Ph.D in Management Science and the Ph.D in Strategy, Programme and Project Management.[19] The International Ph.D in Management Science offers the opportunity to work with scholars from Copenhagen Business School, Trinity College, Dublin, IAE Aix-en-Provence and to access research networks such as EUDOKMA. The Ph.D in Strategy, Programme and Project Management focuses the research on industry issues.
MBA Programme[edit]
SKEMA Business School offers a modular MBA which can be followed either full-time in 12 months or part-time in 24 months.[20] It consists of mandatory courses and a specialization in one of 10 fields offered. The MBA is accredited by the Project Management Institute and the Association for Project Management and depending on the chosen specialization it prepares for other professional certifications such as the one offered by Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). The MBA is taught in English in Paris and is aimed at professionals with a minimum of 3 years experience.
MSc Programmes[edit]
The MSc programme is offered in 14 specializations.[21] These programmes are taught in English over two semesters and are aimed at candidates with a four-years or three-years undergraduate degree and professional experience. Depending on the specialization one of the semester can be spent abroad in an international exchange at a SKEMA partner institution.
The MSc in Management is the flagship programme of the school. It is taught in English over three years (French is possible for the first year) and welcomes international students, including those without prior undergraduate education. Those with two-years and three-years degrees (or more) can join the programme at an advanced level. The first two years focuses on business fundamentals, internships, and projects. The last year is aimed at acquiring one of the specializations. Other options are international exchanges, apprenticeship and double skills programmes.
For their last pre-merger ranking, the CERAM Business School and the ESC Lille were respectively ranked 23rd and 17th in the 2009 Financial Times ranking for Master in management.[22]
