Comments about North Face Mossbud Pant (Women's):
Let me begin by saying how much I LOVE these pants! Yes, there are a couple things I think that could be improved--such as the lack of pockets--, but overall, I ADORE these pants. I wear them almost every day because they are so comfortable and keep me warm. I teach school and the heat gets turned off right after the end of the school day. I often stay at least three or four hours after and the building temperature quickly drops. These pants paired with my UGG slippers, keep me cozy and comfortable while I grade. I wear them at home and walking around outside my house--not so much out in public because they seem ultra casual. Also, these pants seem to be completely windproof, AND the length is perfect. I don't have terribly long legs, but generally my legs are long enough that after one wash the majority of pants become too short--not with these though! I think everyone should own a pair!

Smoke-free Homes
A few basic actions can protect children from secondhand smoke
- Choose not to smoke in your home and car and do not allow family and visitors to do so. Infants and toddlers are especially vulnerable to the health risks from secondhand smoke.
- Do not allow childcare providers or others who work in your home to smoke.
- Until you can quit, choose to smoke outside. Moving to another room or opening a window is not enough to protect your children.
Secondhand Smoke Can Make Children Suffer Serious Health Risks
Breathing secondhand smoke can be harmful to children's health including asthma, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), bronchitis and pneumonia and ear infections.
Children's exposure to secondhand smoke is responsible for:
- increases in the number of asthma attacks and severity of symptoms in 200,000 to 1 million children with asthma;
- between 150,000 and 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections (for children under 18 months of age); and,
- respiratory tract infections resulting in 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations each
Head Start
EPA and HHS Partnering to Promote Smoke-free Homes for Head Start Families
EPA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families, Head Start Bureau are working together to improve the quality of life for nearly a million Head Start children by conducting nationwide secondhand smoke and asthma outreach. Read more about the EPA and HHS partnership and what you can do as a Head Start teacher, staff member or parent to help create Care for their Air: Promoting Smoke-free Homes for Head Start Families.
The developing lungs of young children are severely affected by exposure to secondhand smoke for several reasons including that children are still developing physically, have higher breathing rates than adults, and have little control over their indoor environments. Children receiving high doses of secondhand smoke, such as those with smoking mothers, run the greatest risk of damaging health effects.
Join the millions of people who are protecting their children from secondhand smoke
You can become a child's hero by keeping a smoke-free home and car. Secondhand smoke can cause children to suffer bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections and more severe asthma attacks. Read More About Health Effects

yes I did, they said just disclose and make sure there is ample time between applying and the past background (for me it was 3 years and they said it was okay).
Is my disclosure too specific? should I just make it straight to the point?

Personal Statement / Criminal Addendum First Draft. Help Please!« on: February 20, 2013, 07:25:11 PM »
Hello all,
Im new to the forums and was wondering if you can take a look at my criminal addendum. Is this okay? I will be doing grammatical changes later, but is this addendum in line with what they want? How can I make it better?
On March 30th 2010, I was enrolled in my 2nd year at (University here), and was heading to my next class and had to cross through the campus park to get to my class. Some friends were at a smoking area at a distance and waved at me to come and say hello. I stopped by and noticed that they were smoking marijuana and a police officer at the moment comes and searches everyone. I was guilty of having a fake identification card in my possession. The case became diverted as I had chose to complete their diversion program which consisted of a Drug and Alcohol Awareness course.
On April 3rd, 2010, I was driving home to (my city here) late around 3AM and a police officer pulled me over due to flashing my lights on a street sign. He told me to get out of my car and searched me. He found four ecstasy pills in my pocket and I was convicted of possession of a controlled substance. Though I was not under the influence of any narcotics, I was guilty of the possession of the controlled substances. I was able to get this case dismissed by participating in the PC1000 program offered by the judge.
The convictions above represent the careless and naïve actions of an immature adolescent who made poor life decisions, which resulted in severe consequences for himself and for the people who supported him in his life.
I was and am fully responsible for my actions, and was justly punished by the California courts for my legal errors. It would be an huge understatement for me to say that I regret this young and confused part of my adolescent life. I would always look back at what happened and ask myself, "What was I thinking?" and these events would always haunt my thoughts. The shame, the remorse, and the feeling that I let down everyone who cared about me due to my past acts of juvenile delinquency. These events changed my life and pushed me to change my life for the better.
I feel that I have moved on from that part of my life and since that time, I have made a serious effort to lead my life with maturity, purpose, and personal responsibility. My accomplishments since these irresponsible and immature acts have helped shape the person I want to become. I have put a more stronger emphasis on schoolwork and balanced multiple jobs, working around 30 hours on top of having a rigorous 20 unit courseload. On top of that, I have both participatedin separate Drug and Alcohol Programs which have taught me the dangers of drug use and its impact on people. I have also participated and volunteered in many philanthropies that have been a good cause to many organizations, such as the Blind Children's Learning Center, American Heart Association, Down Syndrome Foundation of Orange County, and Orange County Human Society.
Looking back I feel that I have grown a lot more mature the past 3 years since these incidents and have lived my life for the better. Moving from the immature and careless years, I feel that my maturity has grown. My grades had significantly gone up, and I felt more mature handling my own expenses for rent and living conditions by having multiple jobs. To this day, I still have 3 jobs that I am currently participating in along with the goal of getting into law school and studying the law.

oh i've got a random crockpot question for you-do you find some recipes are soupier than you want them to be when you crockpot them? example, i made some chicken taco filling and had to take it out and put in skillet to get rid of some liquid and same thing last night when i made crockpot sloppy joes. sorta defeats the whole one pot situation...

Baking in the crock pot is a great ideas. Especially waking up to a warm breakfast. Great idea, I will have to try that.

Don't you know all the sicknesses you can get from raw egg in the batter?!?! Just kidding!--we lick the bowl too...but I always THINK about getting sick!
Glad you tried banana bread! I've been wondering if that was possible. I like the idea of waking up to it all warm and fresh in the morning!

Just found your site thru Diary of a SAHM. Love it!! I heart my crockpots too! I am thinking about getting a 3rd one, just for the flexibility factor.
I post some crock pot recipes on my recipe blog, in case you need some additional ideas.
- February 1, 2008 at 10:53 AM

Hi Kelly--
yeah, unfortunately I do. I think it depends on how juicy your meat is. Are you following a recipe that asks for water added? Is it a crockpot recipe?
If I cook meat by itself (like chicken pieces with some spices), I would probably only add 1/4-1/3 cup of liquid. If you open a lot to check on it, you might need to add more liquid.
If you're cooking a big ol hunk of meat like a pot roast, you really only need 1/2 cup of liquid in order to cook the meat.
I made fish last night (recipe tomorrow!) in foil packets and didn't add any liquid, and it was very juicy all on it's own.

thanks steph-for the sloppy joes, i was following a recipe but not for the other. i guess i need to use less water than i think and just add more later if needed.
talk to you soon!
- February 1, 2008 at 3:28 PM
- kim said...
do you add a little water to the crock pot,or is this done in a dry crock pot?
I can't wait to see if regular GF bread turns out.
I found you through kay too -- I'm book marking you right away.
- February 4, 2008 at 5:18 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Kim--no, no water is added, and I propped the lid open with a chopstick to let the steam escape.
I have a box of breadmix that calls for a yeast packet--I'm going to try that first, before I get into mixing flours and all.

I was just introduced to your blog by my sister who keeps a look-out for great blogs. Your blog looks good....or is it just lunch time! I am gluten intollerant and am interested in your recipe for the banana bread. I want to try to bake in my crockpot, but I don't like my GF banana bread recipe. Can you help me out?
- February 5, 2008 at 10:34 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Kathy,
I use Pamela's Baking Mix as my all-purpose flour. If you have nut allergies, stay away from Pamela's because it has almond meal in it. I used the Zucchini Bread recipe listed on their site. I just used bananas instead of zucchini.

Have you seen any recipes that would permit you to cook on low for a longer period of time?
- February 6, 2008 at 7:47 AM
- Stef said...
I was inspired by you and tried making cupcakes in a crockpot. My results were less than stellar. You are clearly the Crockpot Queen.
I'm curious if you have any thoughts on how to make it work better.
- February 7, 2008 at 10:01 PM
- Kathleen said...
Dude! Did you just put the pan straight into the crockpot? Without water or foil or anything?
- February 25, 2008 at 8:46 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
kathleen, yup!
but it worked!
- February 25, 2008 at 8:50 PM
- Shauna said...
Well isn't that just cool!! What a great idea! You should submit this recipe to by banana bread contest:
There aren't a whole lot of entries so you'd stand a good chance of winning the grand prize (a $50 giftcard to Sur La Table - I wonder if they sell crockpots??).

i never would have thought of doing that! Thanks Steph yum.

EXCELLENT! Who ever wondered why anyone would bake in a Crock Pot has obviously NEVER lived in Dallas, Tx with a temp of 104+ degrees for days on end.
I've never made Banana Bread, but will try this weekend.
- August 19, 2008 at 7:47 PM
I bow to you, CrockPot Queen! You are my hero! I moved in with my boyfriend a few months ago and his oven does not work!! (The house is a rental and he has no desire in involve the landlord...) I love to cook and bake so needless to say this has been a trying period in my life, making meals without an oven and foregoing baking, except for the occasional toaster-oven trial and error. You have opened my eyes to a whole new world. I have always been a fan of the CrockPot, but now I have a million more ways to use it! I can't wait to make banana bread- my bananas won't rot fast enough!!!! YOU ROCK!
- August 23, 2008 at 5:50 PM
Could I put it on low to bake? I'd like to start it before I go to bed and wake up to breakfast....we don't get up very early around here.
- September 24, 2008 at 6:25 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Steph, I haven't personally done it, but I think it will take about 6-7 hours. My suggestion would be to try it on a day that you are going to be home and monitor it so you know how your batter and crock respond. Then do it next time overnight with the alarm set to turn it off or to warm at the alloted time.
I'd just hate for you to wake up to burnt breakfast!
- September 24, 2008 at 6:37 PM
I've never baked much before & certainly not GF (but I've been diagnosed so I better figure it out) so I'm not sure of what ingredients I should use.
- December 29, 2008 at 3:21 PM
- Dana said...
I think I may need to try baking in the crock pot. I have an excellent banana bread recipe, but my oven has the wrong knob on it, so it lies about the temperature inside, I can bake but it doesn't always turn out right!
- January 28, 2009 at 8:12 AM
My husband and I live in a one room apartment in Japan, my kitchen consists of a mini fridge one stove burner and a sink. No oven. Making my beloved banana bread in the crockpot seems to be the only reasonable choice. Silly internet people just assume that everyone lives in a big house in the suburbs. There are a million reasons to bake in the crockpot!

Did you use a metal pan or a glass one? i just found your blog, its awesome!
- April 20, 2009 at 9:44 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Laura, it doesn't matter, as long as it's an oven-safe dish. I used a metal one, because that's what I own.

- April 21, 2009 at 6:17 AM
I am a recent crock-convert.. and I was curious if there was some reason why it was that you could not bake the cake directly in the pot.. instead of in a pan ?
THanks !
- June 7, 2009 at 7:11 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
hi there,
you can definitely bake it right in the crock----it won't slice as nicely though as it will if you use a bread pan.
that's the only reason.
- June 8, 2009 at 6:45 AM
I just finished baking or should I say crockpotting the Banana Bread It worked awesome thanks so much the new insight.

Wow, this turned out great!! My whole family has loved it. Your blog has really shown me just how underused our crockpot has been!

Hi, Steph,
I've been following you for a little while and just love your writing style. I always smile.
Did you know that Rival or someone made a pan specifically for baking in the Crock? I had one for a long time, and MAY have gotten rid of it recently, only to be inspired by you!! Arg.
It was round and a brass color with a lid that had little steam vents in it.
It might be worth looking for if you plan to bake frequently.
I used it a few itmes and it DID work.

I use my crockpot to make Boston brown bread. Put a small amount of water in the bottom of the crockpot (about 1 cup). Pour the batter into a greased 6-8 cup flat-bottomed glass bowl and cover with foil. Poke a few holes in the foil. Put the bowl on top of the little wire rack that came with the crockpot. Cook on high for about 4 hours, or low 6-8 hours. This steams the bread perfectly. I use the Boston brown bread recipe from the Fannie Farmer cook book. A favorite in our house.

I just came across your blog and am very excited to think about using mine, since it reached 100 degrees here in New Hampshire! This is not a common situation, but needless to say I don't want to use my oven. Yuck!
I've also been looking longingly at bread machines, but I'm now wondering if the crockpot is just good for quick breads . . . or could I attempt to make some whole wheat bread? Any thoughts?
- July 6, 2010 at 7:43 PM
This is so cool! I used Cooking Light's Peanut Butter Banana Bread recipe (this month's issue) and even forgot to vent the lid for the first hour but it seems to be doing fine. My only real mistake was to use a pan that's too small because my regular loaf pan doesn't quite fit down into my 5.5Q cooker. Bits keep falling off into the crock and I have to scrape them out and eat them :-( It's amazing and I can't wait to try the CL Bananas Foster bread next. Thanks so much!

I love that I can now bake my banana bread in my crock pots. What a wonderful Idea. With it being in the 90's for so long I hated the thought of heating the house using the oven. As of right now I have 2 crocks going with bread in them. Thanks so much for all the hard work you have done. I have also just ordered your book and can't wait to get it.
- July 25, 2011 at 12:06 PM
hello i too am shocked at this i am a new crock pot user because of my current extended stay move... well your not allowed anything that has flames or can burn and i happened to find a three crock pots in one unit cheap. but my question to you about this recipe is what do you do if you have an oval crock pot? and i currently dont have banana bread recipe, but thank you soo much for your year of recipes because i have 2 liittle ones and a husband that would definitely appreciate another meal that is not soup ! and god bless you for your time

Licking the bowl is fine, just take grapefruit seed extract! Kills everything, even colds. I soak my fruits/veggies in water and gse drops and they stay fresh much longer. Washed strawberries in the refridgerator for two weeks? No problem, threw them away because they shriveled. NO MOLD! read more about gse here: www.pureliquidgold.com
Use as antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral on family, food, cleaning/disinfecting, and pets!

I made my own banana bread recipe and did it on high for 3.5 hours and it was dry....I was expecting it to take four hours!! I think next time it'll only need 3. It was still good, just not very moist. I think next time I'm gonna throw in another banana for good measure too!
- June 15, 2012 at 2:55 PM
Hey, was wondering if you could provide me with the recipe and ingredients you used for this. I am new to this gluten free baking and don't know what recipes and ingredients to use. Thanks
- June 17, 2012 at 9:43 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Rissa,
sure thing. I must admit that my banana bread changes each time I make it, but I usually use the following basic recipe:
no need to worry about order---just whisk everything together. :-)
1/4 cup melted butter
2 smashed bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 3/4 cup Pamela's Gluten Free Baking Mix
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or choc chips

If anybody is having a problem with more-than-enough juices in their crockpots, you could just add less liquid than what's called for OR you could keep your crockpot lid off for the last bit of cooking so the liquid will evaporate while still cooking. Can't wait to try this banana bread, btw! Now to look for a good recipe :D Thank you!

Missoula was the first community in Montana to enact a prohibition against smoking in indoor places of employment and public places. The Ordinance passed in 1999.
In 2005, the Montana State Legislature passed the Montana Indoor Clean Air Act. This Act prohibits smoking in all work places and public buildings in the entire State. The ban went into effect in October 2005, but some bars and casino's have until September 2009 to become smoke free.

EU ETS: Repairs underway
March 20, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
The number of carbon dioxide emission permits to be auctioned within the European Union's emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) will be reduced by 400 million during 2014. Germany's platform on the European Energy Exchange will carry out its auction with a reduced number of permits this week, the German environment ministry says. The number of German emission permits available for this year is now about 127 million, compared with the originally planned total of 205 million.

Hurricane Sandy: Assisting survivors in New Jersey
Although always devastating, at least hurricanes usually hit in summer, bringing warm air behind them not cold, as Hurricane Sandy did. In the Northeast, that means tens of thousands of people freezing cold in homes still without lights or heat, and thousands more seeking refuge in shelters.

By Carol Fouke/CWS
Hillside, N.J. – Although always devastating, at least hurricanes usually hit in summer, bringing warm air behind them – not cold, as Hurricane Sandy did. In the Northeast, that means tens of thousands of people freezing cold in homes still without lights or heat, and thousands more seeking refuge in shelters.
Adding insult to injury, an approaching "Nor'easter" will bring high winds, rain and even snow to an already battered region. That means even more people cold – and an even greater need for blankets.
And CWS blankets – along with school, baby, personal hygiene and cleanup kits – are already comforting Sandy survivors. In New Jersey, the state hardest hit by last week's super storm, CWS partner Community FoodBank of New Jersey, based in Hillside, N.J., is getting these critical supplies out to the most vulnerable through its network of shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries in 18 of New Jersey's 21 counties.
Relationships with partners are key, as it is partners who have an intimate knowledge of the communities they serve. A case in point, the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and its network of nonprofit agencies touch an estimated 900,000 people a month – people who already find themselves in a daily personal state of emergency, out of food because they are out of work, or whose jobs don't pay enough to cover their most basic needs.
To help, the food bank trucks out 100,000 pounds of food a day across the state. From its base in a densely populated, high poverty area on the edge of Newark, N.J., the bank also has several other programs – most notably serving children with food, new clothing, and school supplies.
"CWS is proud to partner with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey," said CWS President and CEO John L. McCullough – a New Jersey resident and frequent volunteer at the food bank. For example, the Monday (Nov. 5) following Sandy found McCullough organizing shelves of food for distribution.
McCullough said, "We know the Community FoodBank of New Jersey has relationships with local hunger and poverty fighting organizations that know the pockets of need. The bank shares CWS's commitment to seek out and assist the most vulnerable, those at risk of being overlooked or forgotten in an emergency."
Cathy McCann is the food bank's vice president for operations, and also chairs the New Jersey state Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster network – putting her in a particularly good position to field and respond to needs all across the state – the state hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy.
"The people we serve already are in distress every day, struggling day to day," McCann said. Already dependent on food pantries, many didn't have a three-day reserve of food before the storm. Many lost a week's wages because their places of employment were closed all last week, or they couldn't get to work because there was no public transportation, or gas for the car. Some were forced from their homes by last year's Hurricane Irene and haven't been able to rebuild yet.
"Now this storm comes on top of that," McCann said, forcing 10,000 residents of New Jersey into shelters. "Many fear they will be forgotten."
Layer on days without electricity and heat as nighttime temperatures descend close to freezing, houses and apartments suffering flood and wind damage, and the new storm threatening more high winds, rain and even snow.
"There is a great need for blankets. CWS has been a great partner. In the wake of Sandy, it quickly got us blankets, hygiene kits, school kits to help children's return to school, baby kits and cleanup buckets," McCann said.
McCann praised CWS's commitment to long-term recovery, commenting that Hurricane Sandy "is going to affect people for a long, long time. It's the biggest thing we have had in the state." McCann added that while a lot of attention is going to New Jersey's coastal communities, people in the state's urban areas also suffered a lot.
CWS Disaster Response Specialists work closely with state, regional and local VOADS, with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, CWS member denominations and other agencies to map out where churches are responding and where help is most needed.
CWS has supplied the Community FoodBank of New Jersey with an initial:

Robijns B.V. takes over Optimus Distribution for Benelux
August 30, 2013
As of 2014, Robijns B.V. will take over distribution of outdoor stove brand Optimus in the Benelux countries. For retailers in this region, this means in the future all brands of the Katadyn Group – Katadyn, Optimus and Trek'n Eat – will be available from the same partner.
Robijns B.V. is located in Aalsmeer in The Netherlands. The company was founded in 1915 as a family business, and today is one of the most important distributors for the outdoor and sports industry in the Benelux countries. For years, the dealer has represented premium brands such as Katadyn, Recta and Suunto. Robijns calls itself a "brand-builder" and specializes specifically in independent retailers. With that focus, it has been able in recent years to significantly grow sales of brands it represents. With the Optimus brand, the company hopes to further strengthen its market position. Robijns stresses optimal inventory management systems, efficient logistics and a strong focus on after-sales service. Thus, the approach of the Katadyn Group matches the style of the Dutch dealer. In addition, Robijns has good connections to local media and puts high value on targeted marketing communications.
"We are proud to add the Optimus brand to our portfolio of outdoor products," says Victor Benard, director of Robijns. "Optimus has manufactured quality stoves for more than 110 years and fits perfectly into our current group of premium brands. We are pleased to be able to offer our retailers all of the products of the Katadyn Group starting in 2014."
Starting immediately, retailers can place their Optimus pre-orders with Robijns. Current sales through 2013, however, will be run by our present partner Jongejans. We would like to take the opportunity to thank Jongejans for the excellent collaboration in the past years.
"We are convinced we have found a partner in Robijns B.V. that can ideally distribute our Optimus brand as well as our other brands Katadyn and Trek'n Eat in the Benelux countries," says Trix Ammann, CEO of Katadyn Products Inc.

A woman who gave birth last month and was on life support from the flu has passed away, becoming Brevard's second fatality from the virus this season, according to a hospital representative.
The latest victim, who was in her mid-20s, had been hospitalized at Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne.
Dr. Heidar Heshmati, director of the county Health Department, said the woman had some flu-like symptoms during the late end of her pregnancy and then after she had the baby in December, the flu hit her in a critical way.
The woman died on Sunday night. Her baby is fine.
The first fatality, a woman in her mid- to late 30s, died January 5, also at Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center, according to health officials.
The conditions of two other people in Brevard hospitals who are on life support from influenza have not changed, Local 6 confirmed with Dr. Heshmati.

The world of rc aircraft's has never been in a better era than now. With so many technological advances with durability, flight control, and modifications for any hobbyist taste. Let Pilot Mart serve as your resource for the best rc helicopter and best quadcopter of any skill level from beginner to intermediate/advanced. In addition, Pilot Mart will also strive to provide information and reviews for cutting edge quadcopters from popular brands such as DJI and Parrot.
Radio-controlled helicopters or commonly known as a rc helicopter are a type of model aircraft that is a relative to radio-controlled airplanes or rc airplanes do to its aerodynamic engineering. However, rc helicopters are designed to "lift" straight off the ground opposed to the runway space the rc airplane needs to become airborne. The radio-controlled helicopter is piloted by a hand-held flight control which allows pilots to control the collective or engage the throttle on a fixed-pitch helicopter. The other two main flight controls are the cyclic controls for "pitch and roll" and the tall rotor control or "yaw."
Mastering the flight control is the primary factor for successful flights. The controls are made up and are effected by small servos motors, piezoelectric gyroscope sensor for tall rotor control, and most of the current helicopter model come equipped with gyro-stabilization. In addition, the newer models also have a three-axis gyro known as the "flybarless controller" that eliminated the need for flybars. Walkera makes one of the best "ready-to-fly" rc helicopters for people wanting something just over the beginner level with respectable control and performance that can fly indoor and outdoor. Radio-controlled helicopters are typically powered methanol 2-stroke motors and electronic brushless motors powered with advanced lithium polymer batteries. The methanol powered helicopters have become less popular due to the durability and advanced technological features of the lithium powered brushless motors. A unique relative of the helicopter is the quadcopter. Most people have heard the "buzz" on quadcopters with its uncanny design and breath taking image and video capability. A quadcopter is also referred to a quadrotor but more recently a "drone." This type of helicopter is multi-rotored and the "quad" defines its ability to be propelled by 4 rotors. Juxtaposed to helicopters, the quadcopter uses two sets of identical fixed-pitched propellers. This set-up consists of two clockwise and two counter-clockwise propellers. All 4 rotors use a variation of revolutions per minute (RPM) for controlling lift and torque. Navigation for quadcopters is achieved by altering the rotation rate of 1 or more rotors. This alteration in the rotors allows the torque to change for lift and thrust abilities.
RC Helicopter | Quadcopter Buying Tips
Whether you are a first time buyer or just looking for an upgrade, it is important to consider a few important points before making a purchase. Owning one of these small types of aircrafts can be a complete blast but you still should be smart when evaluating which model is best for you. A good place to start is to ask yourself "what am I going to use this for?", "what is my experience level?" and "how much can I afford to spend?" After these preliminary questions are answered, the next best thing to do is read reviews of each model whether you decided to buy a rc helicopter or a quadcopter. Reviews are a great way to study model's overview, features, and specifications. Each review should also provide detailed descriptions, images, and video illustrations if available. In addition, there should also be pro's and con's of each model to validate the authenticity of the review. Whether you are selecting a rc helicopter or quadcopter, you may find that each model may have the exact features of other brands but once you have reasoned this far it may come down to aesthetics-how the model looks, and the brand name.
Difference Between 3, 4, and 6 Channel Helicopters
|RC Helicopter Channels
|Description of Each Type of Channel's Capabilities
|3-3.5 Channel
|(Basic controls) Gives you control over up/down movement, left/right spin and throttle (speed forwards/backwards)
|4-4.5 Channel
|(3 channels) plus a 4th channel that allows function of sideways movement to the left/right and spin.
|6 + Channel
|(4 channels) plus a 6th channel that adds possibilities of left/right control at the tail and pitching the helicopter up or down on its horizontal axis (3D Aerobatics)
Best RC Helicopter Points to Consider
Model Type – Radio controlled helicopters can come in a range of sizes from: nano (smallest), micro, miniature, and other various sizes with indoor and outdoor capabilities. It is a good idea in the reviews to check out the size specifications to fit your preference.
Flight Performance – Some RC helicopters may just operate on a 4 channel radio control for basic indoor/outdoor on a 3-axis gyro for great hover stability. If you are a beginner, it will be a good idea to review these types of features for a "ready to fly" model. Moving into a 6 channel radio controlled helicopter will usually indicate models that are built for 3D performance with quicker speed and aerobatic capabilities for moving into the intermediate/advanced level.
Durability – Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate/advanced pilot, the helicopter may eventually endure hard impacts. Therefore, make sure if you plan to use the helicopter outdoors that is made with quality hard plastic and replaceable components. On the other hand, if the helicopter is just being used indoors, you may not have to buy something specifically built for hard impacts. Evaluating durability will also help you decide if need something strictly for indoor, indoor and outdoor, or just a model built for flying only outdoors.
Price – Expect to pay around $40-100+ for a quality rc helicopter depending on model's brand name, features, and performance.
Cost of Maintenance – Another great point to remember is just like with anything with moving parts, it may eventually need maintenance. When reviewing each model, it is also a good idea to look at the cost and availability of batteries, controllers, and other parts required for the helicopter to operate. Most of your popular name brands should offer some type of product support and warranty.
Best Quadcopter Points to Consider
Quadcopters are very similar to electric rc helicopters with a battery and a flight controller. However, these small aircrafts are actually easier to fly with its 4 rotor design so the features and recreational capabilities should be better points to look for first. A good tip to remember is not all quadcopters are built for camera/video footage but this will help decide which model to buy depending on its purpose of use. There are several micro/nano versions of quadcopters that have 6-axis gyro capable of full aerobatics-flips, rolls, and other stunts. On the other hand, there are "drone quadcopters" that specifically designed for capturing professional imagery and video.
Model Type – Depending on the intent of purchase, quadcopters can be designed for performance maneuvers or built as a "drone quadcopter kit" that are made by popular brands such as DJI and Parrot with high definition cameras and gps navigational systems. As with rc helicopters, quadcopters can be purchased based on skill level and your personal budget. You may to just get a feel for flying a quadcopter with a less expensive model in the interim of saving for the drone quadcopter with all the "bells and whistles."
Features – Is the aircraft controlled by a radio controller similar to the rc helicopter or does it comes with an advanced gps navigational system, smart phone and tablet applications, or quality high definition cameras? This will definitely determine the type of quadcopter model to consider and the price.
Price – Quadcopters (some camera equipped) can range from $50-250+ and the high-end "drone quadcopter kits" (quadcopters designed for film & photography) can range from $300-1000+
Cost of Maintenance – Again similar to rc helicopter, quadcopters may eventually require maintenance. Therefore, depending on the type of model being considered for purchase, it is good to look at the cost of common replacement parts from the manufacturer. Although the quadcopter can be more expensive, it is an easier type of small aircraft to fly so the likelihood of needing replacement parts will be lower. The good news is some of the top quadcopter manufacturers are adding extra safety features to protect the small aircraft in case of an accident. There are also durable carrying cases that can be bought to ensure the product is protected when being transported or stored. You should also look for warranties that each manufacturer may offer when purchased.

Amidst competition from China, Eugene mill cuts 35 workers
EUGENE, Ore. - A plywood maker laid off 10 percent of its workforce amidst what the industry calls unfair or even illegal competition from Chinese imports.
Michael Taylor with States Industries said the company was forced to issue pink slips to 35 of its 300 workers in Eugene.
Taylor said the US International Trade Commission didn't ratify tariffs on Chinese plywood imports as recommended by the Department of Commerce.
Taylor and others in the plywood industry sought penalties up to 200 percent against China. American plywood makers accused China of dumping subsidized hardwood products in the U.S. market.
"This is jobs," Roger Rutan with Timber Products Company in Springfield said in November 2012. "You can look at it, stare at it right in your face. Subsidies and incentives for export. They subsidize loans. They subsidize employee wages."

Talk to somebody
You might want to talk through your feelings about sight loss with someone outside your circle of family and friends. This is where counselling can help.
What is counselling?
Counselling means talking things over with a skilled listener. It can help you understand your feelings and think about ways of coping with the changes in your life. Counselling is not direct advice. Instead, it helps you explore your situation so that you can work out what's right for you. Although few counsellors have experienced sight loss, they are all trained to support people going through changes and loss, and many of the feelings will be similar.
Should I have counselling?
Some people will want to deal with practical things before they talk about how they feel. Others may find they can cope when they're first diagnosed, but feel low in their quieter moments. Whether you're recently diagnosed or you've been living with sight loss for some time, getting counselling is a matter of when you feel the time is right – it's not something other people can decide.
How much does counselling cost?
Some counselling is free, for example on the NHS, or in the workplace. Some charities offer low-cost or sliding scale charges based on income. Private fees vary.
How does counselling work?
Counselling is based on seeing the same person every week for around an hour. It may be open ended or for a fixed number of sessions.
It may be possible to find counsellors who:
- Work with couples and groups.
- Use telephone and email rather than face-to-face sessions.
- Visit you if you have mobility difficulties.
Counselling should be confidential, apart from rare exceptions based on decisions about your safety or that of others.
Find a counsellor
Counsellors should be members of a professional body, such as the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy or the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.
Here are a few options:
- RNIB's Emotional Support Service. As well as helping you find out what counselling is available in your area, we can provide counselling over the phone. We usually offer eight to 10 sessions with a trained counsellor, and can help partners and children too. Our team understand the impact of sight loss and can offer a huge knowledge of all eye conditions. You can contact us by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or call the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999 and ask to be referred to us.
- Action for Blind People have counselling services in Bristol and Liverpool.
- Your GP: Some GP surgeries have a counsellor based at the practice or can refer you to a hospital or community-based service.
- Your local social services department.
- You can ask your local social services department for an assessment of your needs following sight loss, including your need for counselling.
- Local societies for blind and partially sighted people.
- Some societies offer counselling as one of their services. Other voluntary counselling organisations may also be able to help. You can find local organisations using the Sightline Directory.
- Your employer, trade union or professional association.
- Counselling may be available through your workplace. Your trade union or professional association may also be able to help.
- Services for young people and students.
- There may be a counselling service at your school or college. You can also find out what's available in your area from Youth Access.

Paper Rad Info (Blog)
Paper Rad Info is a blog about Paper Rad. However, it is not Paper Rad. That is here. Above is the Dooman Group. a spinoff band named after Dr. Doo; the photo came from Flickr. Inspiring!
And I confess I missed this Art in America article on Cory Arcangel, which discusses his collaboration with Paper Rad at Deitch Projects, among other activities. Fortunately I have the web to keep me up to date on print. We'll know a zeigeist moment has occurred when Cory is no longer called a "computer artist" and is just called an "artist."
Downtime & Play
Trebor Scholz muses on the nature of time in the always-connected world:
On my way to Zurich I just met a colleague at the airport. We both fly routinely. "I can't do it anymore." he said. "All this air travel is just too much downtime for me." I moved onward passing through airport lobbies in New York City, London, and finally my Swiss destination. In these inbetween spaces I was persistently confronted with big, fat back-lid ads. And they were all about time. T-Mobile's slogan is "Upgrade your downtime." The airline Jetblue draws attention to their wireless hotspots at John F. Kennedy with the commanding "downtime-download." The mantra of the British Vodaphone is "The power of now!" BT shows a jolly business man fly-jumping through what looks like a landscape of Powerpoint charts: "The digital network economy. Where business is done." In JFK, Sprint, the American cell phone tycoon, set up yellow placards in the size of a house that say "yes to making just about any place a work place." It made me stop. I was buffled. How dare they be so in my face about what I perceive as the agony of immaterial labor?
Volunteer needed for a region-specific performance in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY on this Sat. Nov. 12th (part of Bushwick Art Projects)
Looking for a volunteer to bike around Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY to video 'spot document' a region-specific live performance during [BAP] (Bushwick Art Projects) on this Saturday, November 12th. The performance will start around 8:30 p.m.
I personally planning to bike around and make visits to chinese takeout restaurants in Bushwick area, starting at 8:30 p.m. on Sat. Nov. 12th as a part of BAP.
I'll audioblog with GPS positioning data documented during this trip - which simultaneously be broadcasted at ORTPLAY @ORT (330 Ellery st., 1st & 2nd. floors, Bushwick near J train Flushing Ave. station.)
While I can do much stuff myself, it'd be super helpful if there is one more person can make the trip with me! I'm looking for a person who can participate the 'hopping-around' with a video camera (better;) or a digi camera with mov. mode (okay), on a bike/skateboard etc. (I'll be on bike myself.. so the other person needs to be also with something faster than on foot. and if necessary, I may be able to hook you up with a bike which I can borrow someone from ORT.)
I presume the trip would take approx. over an hour. (but definitely less than 1.5.)
I'd appreciate if you can forward to whoever may be interested.
thanx millions!!

10 questions/more art
we need a lot more people making computer art. most computer art is pretty bad. if you think about all the bob rosses and weekend nature water colorists most paintings are pretty bad too. but that's how the world is and that's cool. too much emphasis on quality is just discouraging. being bad is fine. however, there are so many painters that if even 5% are good, that's still a huge number. if 5% of net.artists are good that might be someone's little toe. more artists have more art to take as an example. the quality of the art doesn't matter. simply more examples will be helpful to us all. ...
Bump--In the project "bump", two wooden bridges in two different cities form the meeting point for large public events. When someone steps on one of these bridges, this person's weight triggers an impulse that is transmitted through a data transmission cable to the wooden bridge in the other city, thus moving the corresponding plank by a few centimeters.

The Utah Division of Consumer Protection has issued a statewide alert cautioning Carbon County residents to avoid falling victim to scam involving unsolicited overseas mail targeting older citizens.
The statewide warning relates to letters that claim the recipient has won a cash prize in a Spanish lottery sweepstakes, called El Gordo, according to consumer protection officials.
Although El Gordo is an authentic Spanish lottery, the letters are part of a long running scam that operates out of Madrid and Barcelona, warned the consumer protection division.
The letter claims that the consumer holds a winning lottery number and has been approved to receive a substantial cash prize from a security company.
"Most people recognize this as a scam and will just throw this type of letter in the trash bin," explained Francine Giani, consumer protection director.
"But occasionally, someone will think they have hit the jackpot. The reality is if they take it any further they are throwing their money away," points out the consumer protection division director.
The letter advises recipients that they must make claims before a certain date and they should keep the information top secret until the claim is confirmed and their money paid.
The consumers are asked to contact a claim agent at an overseas telephone number and arrange to transfer the funds to an account of the individual's choice.
Once bank accounts and personal details have been provided, the scam operators send a request for money to cover taxes and transfer costs.
"We have seen this type of scam before," confirmed the consumer protection division director. "But recent inquiries suggest that the scam is active again in this area and Utah consumers, particularly older residents, are being targeted by these criminals."
Carbon County consumers should be especially wary about being informed they have won prizes or cash awards in contests they have not entered.
Lottery scams can have devastating financial effects on the individuals who fall victim to the fraudulent activities, stressed the consumer protection director.
"Consumers who receive calls telling them they've won a lottery from another country can be certain they are dealing with a swindler," warned Giani.
Federal law currently prohibits the use of mail to sell or buy lottery materials, including tickets, letters or circulars concerning a lottery, chances or shares in a lottery or payments to purchase such tickets, chances or shares.
The Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigate fraudulent lottery solicitations.
To report a suspected fraudulent lottery scam, Carbon County consumers should contact the Federal Trade Commission or the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

Submission Google Nexus 7 Parts Cost $18 More Than Kindle Fire->
judgecorp writes: "The parts for a Google Nexus 7 tablet cost only $18 more than the materials for an Amazon Kindle Fire, according to a teardown by IHS. This means while Amazon initially took a loss on each tablet sold, Google will break even on its 8Gb tablet, and make a small profit on the 16Gb model."

The Portland Trail Blazers joined the NBA as an expansion team for the 1970-1971 season. For six seasons in Rip City things didn't go so well for the 'Blazers, posting losing season after losing season. The 1976-1977 season marked a turn in the franchise's history. A pair of second-year players—Maurice Lucas and Bill Walton—not only led Portland to its first playoff appearance, but all the way to the franchise's first NBA championship. From that season through the end of the 2002-2003 season the Trail Blazers were playing playoff basketball every year except for one. The next time Portland made a serious run for the championship after 1977 was the 1989-1990 season. Led by future Hall-of-Famer Clyde Drexler, Portland won a then-franchise best 59 regular season games on its way to an NBA Finals showdown with the Detroit Pistons, though they would lose to Detroit in five games. Drexler reached the Finals again in 1992, but this time Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls thwarted Portland's goal of a second championship. Since 2003, the Trail Blazers have made the playoffs just three times. They have retired 12 numbers over the course of the franchise's history. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Portland Trail Blazers basketball tickets.
The Portland Trail Blazers rebounded from an off year in 2012 and had an outstanding 2013-14 NBA season. The Trail Blazers won 54 games, and Portland made the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2011. Led by superstar LeMarcus Alderidge, Portland dismantled favored Houston in the first round of the playoffs earning the Trail Blazers their first playoff series victory since 2000.
When looking at the 2014-15 Portland Trail Blazers schedule, the question is whether or not the Blazers can take the next step and turn into one of the NBA Western Conference's elite teams. Key acquisitions for the Trail Blazers in the offseason were Steve Blake and Chris Kamen, who add much needed playoff experience to a young Portland team. Still, the Portland Trail Blazers will only go as far as their star duo of Damien Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge take them. Look for the Blazers to be a matchup that no one wants come playoff time.
Check out our Portland Trail Blazers Season Preview History page for previews of previous Trail Blazers seasons.
The Trail Blazers play their home games at the Moda Center, located in Portland, Oregon. When filled to capacity, the Moda Center holds nearly 20 thousand screaming fans. Formerly known as the Rose Garden, the selling of naming rights to Moda Health will allow the arena to enhance the fan's experience at the game, according to the Trail Blazers' owner. The Portland Trail Blazers home bench is on the Moda Center court side in front of sections 122. Moda Center parking information is covered in our Trail Blazers event guide.
Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks
The Trail Blazers and the Lakers have played an astonishing 45+ playoff games dating back to 1977 to go along with over 205 regular season games. The organizations have met three times in the Western Conference Finals that has only made this rivalry that much better. With Portland and Los Angeles both in the same conference, this match-up will only continue to get better in future seasons.
This rivalry can be traced back to when the Thunder organization played in Seattle. The close proximity of the franchises led to a mutual hatred that still continues today even though both teams are not regionally close. The rivalry renewed in 2007 during the NBA Draft when the Trail Blazers selected Greg Oden over Kevin Durant with the first overall pick. Oden became an oft-injured center while Durant established himself as one of the best players in the league.
The Trail Blazers and Jazz have been two of the more consistent teams in the Western Conference and find themselves both in the Northwest Division. In the 1990s, it was not uncommon for Portland and Utah to meet in the playoffs. Both franchises met four times during the decade that included a Trail Blazers victory in the 1992 Western Conference Finals.
These Western Conference foes have battled it out in the regular season over 135 times. The Trail Blazers and Mavericks have met multiple times in the playoffs over the years with both teams having equal success against one another in the postseason. Portland and Dallas will only continue to add to their rivalry in the upcoming seasons as both teams play in the same conference.
The Trail Blazers have an NBA championship to go along with multiple Western Conference titles on their resume that began in 1970. Portland has also added over 3 division titles throughout the years and will only see that number continue to increase in future seasons. Decorated players like Bill Walton and Clyde Drexler have worn the Trail Blazers uniform over the years.
Doors open 1 hour before game time for all Blazers games.
Portland has some of the best locally owned restaurants in the country. One of those local gems is Frank's Noodles. Frank's has some of the amazing Asian food to go along with a great atmosphere. If you are looking for a sports bar try Spirit of 77. This fun place is packed with TV's, Portland sports fans, and they even have indoor bicycle parking. For an upscale experience try Torro Bravo. This place is perfect for foodies and will leave you talking about its food for weeks. If you are a seafood fan don't miss checking out Jakes Famous Crawfish. Jakes has been a Portland landmark for over 100 years and is one of the top seafood destinations in the country. Portland also has some unbelievable food trucks. Of the dozens of great options we recommend trying La Jarochita, Tabor, or Pepper Box.
There are 4 large parking garages located to the north of the Moda Center. Parking typically begins 4 hours before game-time and the garages fill up quickly. We recommend getting to the game early or purchasing a parking pass. The East and West Garage's are usually the best chance for finding parking close to the arena and are just north of Winning Way Drive. Offsite parking can be found at NE 7th and Holladay NE, and 7th and Multnomah in the Lloyd District. Most parking ranges from $6 to $13. MAX offers public transportation options with trains running about every 5 minutes before game-time.
Any child over 24 months old will need a ticket to enter the Moda Center. If your child is under 24 months old they may sit in a guardians lap for the duration of the game. We recommend bringing proof of the child's age to ensure they are allowed to enter the arena.
Thank you for a wonderful Masters experience. The TicketCity house is in the perfect spot!Brian - Austin, TX

LOWVILLE Construction bids on the proposed Lewis County office building project have come in at around $9 million.
Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, said the projected cost for a two-story, 45,000-square-foot building on outer Stowe Street turned out about where officials had expected.
Following the bid opening, county officials worked with Rick W. Tague, president of Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown, to determine the percentage of the proposed building that would be reimbursable through state Department of Social Services funding so financial advisers could come up with an accurate financing schedule.
We need to run the numbers now, said Legislator Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville.
Lawmakers are slated to meet at 9 a.m. Monday to more closely analyze project details to help determine whether they are prepared to move forward.
If so, construction is projected to start in mid-October and be completed by the end of October 2014.
The total base price came in at $8.84 million, while several add-ons would push the total to $9.03 million.
Apparent low bidders were as follows: Bette & Cring, Watertown, at $4,771,500 base or $4,836,500 with alternates for general construction; Burns Brothers Contracting, Potsdam, at $1,020,000 for mechanical and $357,000 for plumbing; Jordstat Construction, Alexandria Bay, at $977,138 for electrical; and Acts II Construction, Gouverneur, at $1,717,000 base or $1,836,000 with alternates for site work.

As per one of the leading unlocked cell phone blog site, it is easy to see why iPad's or other tablet devices would be solid purchases for members of parliament. Having all that power on the go would probably allow them to stay connected with their people a little bit easier. However, it was recently released that the ruling by the Board of Internal Economy (a ruling that was actually placed in November) that states that the board did not agree to allow them to purchase the iPads because of the great expense.
Not including taxes, the iPad's would probably cost more than $160,000 in total. Another reason behind the decision was that the "house system is totally based on Microsoft." The ruling suggested that perhaps the infrastructure would be different and would cause issues as well. Of course, this does not seem like that valid of an excuse given how user friendly the iPad is and has been as a whole.
Many of the parliament members have purchased the iPad on their own dime since the ruling came down. Had they allowed members to use the iPad, they would have become the first major country to adopt the iPad on a government level as a legitimate tracking tool. It will be interesting to see how many decide to go out and buy tablet solutions on their own. It is easy to see how a purchase like this could benefit parliament members. They would probably be more likely to stay in contact with the general public and would have a device that would allow them to constantly update on progress during negotiations and share information with other members of parliament.
Although problems regarding infrastructure were cited as the reasoning behind the decision, the cost probably had more to do with it than anything else. Thousands of dollars on devices that are not required for the job is a hard sell, especially with the economy the way that it is today.
