ST MAWGAN, Nr Newquay, TR8 4EP
This wisteria-clad, stone-built inn situated in the Vale of Lanherne is just four miles from Newquay. It can trace its ancestry back as far as 1758, but is thought to be even older. By 1813 the pub had been renamed more than once, and in about 1880 it changed again to The Falcon Inn, an allusion to the nearby estate's coat of arms. Throughout much of the 20th century the inn was run by members of the Fry family; the present innkeepers are David Carbis and Sarah Lawrence. The Falcon's interior is cosy and relaxed, with flagstone floors and log fires in winter; there's a large attractive garden, magnificent magnolia tree and cobbled courtyard for alfresco summer dining. An ever-changing selection of predominantly West Country real ales is augmented by rotating real ciders, and a dozen wines are served by the glass. Lunchtime brings snacks like Cornish pasty and breaded scampi, plus an appetising range of sandwiches. There's also a good choice of hot dishes, all home made, such as soup of the day, p�t�, pie, fish and curry every day. The evening menu is served in the more formal restaurant; starters could be trio of p�t�s and terrines with piccalilli; then main courses include 'Bubble and Smoke' - roasted smoked haddock, with wok-fried bubble-and-squeak, poached egg and pea shoots; chandra malai kofta - chickpea, courgette and almond kofta with lentil and coconut sauce; osso bucco with saffron risotto and gremolata. Three comfortable, individually furnished en suite bedrooms are also available, and events like charity quiz nights run throughout the year. Contact the pub for details of the beer and cider festival.

Admittedly down to considering only a few schools at this point, it was a slight surprise to learn that Alex Officer had taken an unofficial visit to a school that has always been in and out of the mix for him on Saturday.
"I visited Penn State last weekend," he said. "But they didn't offer."
Despite not earning that free ride, the Rochester (N.Y.) Eastridge standout offensive lineman was pleased with what he saw on Saturday as the Nittany Lions took on Indiana.
"The visit went great," said Officer. "I was there all day Saturday on an unofficial visit. I met with coaches and players. I saw the campus and saw them destroy Indiana."
After the win, the 6-foot-4, 310-pounder got the chance to build on his relationship with the PSU staff.
"Coach [Stan] Hixon and the O-line coach (Mac McWhorter)," Officer said of who he was talking to. "I met with a bunch of players in the locker room. They said they are very interested in me. They seem like they're close to offering."
The goal for Officer is to get that next extension, and it could be big for Penn State if the staff decides to do so considering his feeling with the program after the trip.
"They have some of the best fans in the country," Officer added. "They are always loud and they love their football team. Their student section is awesome."
"I like them a lot. I'm not really ranking teams right now, but I'm considering them with Pitt, Louisville, Syracuse, and others."

Interchurch Food Pantry of Johnson County
To the editor:
At a time when we hear the call from Washington, D.C., to get Americans across the country engaged in serving their communities, we've been impressed with the can-do attitude of people in Johnson County.
We have approximately 200 volunteers over the course of a year who lend their time and talents to the InterChurch Food Pantry of Johnson County — some come daily, weekly or monthly, while others come for special projects. They do a range of work, including greeting clients, computer intake, filling orders, unloading, receiving and stocking product, serving on the board as well as group projects.
We also have organizations that offer to hold food drives across the community. Major food drives over the past several months included Amcor Corp., Ray Skillman Ford and Lambda Chi Alpha at Franklin College.
We've received very generous donations from companies and organizations including Heartland Bank, Franklin Rotary and the Elks of Franklin. We've been blessed with grants from foundations including Branigin Foundation and Caterpillar Foundation.
And, for our capital drive to install HVAC in our warehouse, we've had overwhelming support from Grace United Methodist Church, Mount Auburn United Methodist Church, First Baptist Church of Greenwood and Heartland Machine & Engineering.
For the volunteers, food drives and numerous donations and grants, we are most appreciative. We also thank the Daily Journal for their reporting of the needs in our community that connect caring people with those in need. Finally, we appreciate the opportunity given us to serve our community and look forward to partnering with the community in the upcoming year.

If 3D printing is not on your CIO's radar, it should be. While the benefits to your business may not be completely clear yet, the technology is making huge strides across several industries. And if the trend keeps up, 3D printers stand to completely disrupt supply chains and eliminate the need to import goods. Here are three industries using 3D printing to produce innovative products and services.
This summer, surgeons in South Africa used 3D-printed jaw implants to perform reconstructive facial surgery. The cost of the 3D-printed implants is 80% less than those created from metal blocks. Robohand, another company in South Africa, is creating custom-fitted, 3D-printed limbs to help individuals with missing hands and arms. They are quickly becoming a cost-effective alternative to standard prosthetics.
And in the Netherlands, researchers are hoping the technology may enable replacement body parts and organs.
Natural Machines' new Foodini, a 3D food printer, categorizes itself as a kitchen appliance. Put your ingredients in, and the "printer" manages the food preparation. Essentially, it's like having The Jetsons robot Rosie in your house, as you get a home-cooked meal without actually doing the cooking yourself. So, instead of you buying processed, premade foods, the printer can create healthier, fresher versions of time-consuming meals like ravioli or chips.
Meanwhile in England, this year's Tech Food Hack (organized by Dovetailed and Microsoft Research Cambridge) included 3D-printed fruit.
For Finnish artist Janne Kyttanen, there's freedom in traveling light. So light that she designed an entire outfit that was produced via a 3D printer, and envisions it as a way for people to replicate their clothes once they reach their destination. Milliner Gabriela Ligenza is also using the technology to produce hats, with a collection of 3D-printed hats gaining attention prior to British horserace the Royal Ascot.
So when does this become mainstream?
For industrial design and prototyping, the value is already there. But as consumers, we want high quality and we want an affordable price. At the very least, start revving up your imagination and sketching ideas. Once the technology hits a reasonable price point, the flexibility in manufacturing that 3D printers provide only stands to accelerate innovation.
What other products and services are you seeing as a result of 3D printing?

Hello folks,
I am relatively new to drones, especially the APM2.5 and am planning my first build.
The only real problem i have come up against is that i cant figure out how i am going to power the APM2.5 board!
I have read through all the pages i can find, and what it keeps coming back to is something like:
You can power it from the RC input, but also from the output with an ESC.
Now does this mean i can plug all my outputs from my 6ch RX into the inputs on the board, with the BEC from the ESC still going to my RX like normal?
Or does it mean i have to do the above - like normal - then plug some other power supply into one of the outputs on the APM2.5?
I understand the ESC must be in the outputs so the APM2.5 can control the throttle, but how can the board possibly get power from the input of the ESC?
Hope all that makes sense!
Any help would be much appreciated - as once i get this sorted out i can start assembling the parts!
Views: 6851
Which channel would you plug a standalone ESC with BEC into the APM2.5 inputs?
Also, it may be listed somewhere but what is the power consumption like on the APM2.5? Just trying to figure out what size battery i would need for the dedicated ESC with BEC...
You're going to use a stand-alone ESC (ie: an ESC not actually being used for anything?) into the APM input just to use it's BEC? Why not just get a proper power supply?
Anyway, channel # doesn't matter. The power and ground lines are common right across.
The load, I've measured about 200mA IIRC, with all the options plugged in. It's not much. An 800mAh battery would last a long time.
Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.
I guess i will just run the RX into the input of APM2.5 like normal then.
If i only have this one source of power into the APM2.5 do i need to change the default JP1 - if so, is it a soldered jumper?
APM2.5 + 3DR radio + External GPS + Multiplex Rx on mine draws 200ma, with slight ripple.
I supply it with an el cheapo esc 3a bec (linear type) connected to the o/p side of the apm2.5 board,
Jumper in place. The Rx power is taken from the i/p side of the APM board(through the channel leads),
this is the only supply, Works fine for me, never ever had a supply problem!
However, the wiki states that the supply voltage to o/p side of apm2.5 should be 5v37 +- 0v5
If you supply it outside that tolerance is entirely your decision!
If you crash using low volts, its your fault!
If you crash using the correct supply voltage, its still your fault!
I prefer the linear becs, but a couple of suggestions:
If you use servos(Gimbal etc), then consider using a separate psu
If you use 4s then use a separate psu
Ideally use a separate psu anyway (this is for other reasons than the arguments here)
Ok, so is the JP1 jumper in place the default? And this means you have to have 2 sources of power like you have?
"I supply it with an el cheapo esc 3a bec (linear type) connected to the o/p side of the apm2.5 board,"
Which port do you plug it into on the output side? Any of them?
Also, what battery do you use for the standalone ESC?
Thanks so much
Jumper should be in place on a complete board, but probably be missing on a board supplied with headers to solder on!
Easy to check though! It's the only jumper on the board, and its placed immediately next to the output pins.
Bec supply to the output side can be on any output channel
"Ok, so is the JP1 jumper in place the default? And this means you have to have 2 sources of power like you have?"
Think you misunderstood! I only have one supply and that is to the output side of the apm2.5
12v power comes from the batteries that plug into the ESC's.
Generally ESC's, in addition to providing power output to the motors, also provide 5V regulated output through the cables that plug into the RX. That's the 3 wire cable coming out of the ESC. Red is your 5v+. Black is ground -. White is the signal.
The red 5V wire is used to power the RX and Servos. ESC's generally have a limit of about 3Amps they can provide to power the servo's and RX. So if you don't have many servo's you can use that 5v coming out of the ESC to power the APM.
Alternatively you can use a dedicated BEC that simply converts 12v to 5v.
How many amps do i need on my BEC if i have 4 micro servos and an APM2.5 with sensors? 2A, 3A, 5A?
Quick question, since I forgot my electricity classes:
Why are all of my four 3DR 20AMP esc's showing 10v output on my multimeter when its written their output should be 5v 2amp?
Well, since my USB cable is powering the input rail with the same multimeter reading, I guess I need to re-learn how to read the said multimeter...
Regarding JP1, if I just connect the output and input rails on +- row, thats the same effect than closing the jumper?
Thanks guys!
I think i have the APM2.5 power supply sorted out now:
- leave the JP1 jumper in place
- 800mAh 3S w/ 3A BEC connected to one of the APM2.5 outputs

Don't go to the Red Light District. We stayed in a hostel there (it was the cheapest), and it's nothing like Amsterdam. We arrived in the evening, and at 7pm when we walked through the RLD we saw two people injecting themselves with something, one person snorting some powder off a doorstep and someone dancing through the road. It was surreal.

I'm looking for a good, preferably free, test planning and documentation tool. Ideally something that will keep track of which tests have been run against which software version, with reporting ability.

So far TestLink and Fitness have been mentioned. A related question yielded also a link to the ReadySet project, an open collection of software planning documentation templates.
I have used TestLink and found it okayish, but I cannot say I enjoyed using it. Has anyone had any experience with Fitnesse? Or are there any other free tools out there that you have used and found satisfactory?

We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and of course the campground was EXCEPTIONALLY busy. There was lots of traffic in the park, but overall it was a great place to stay. The 'sites' aren't actually sites at all. You are allowed to park any way you like as all of the camp is grass. Nearly all of the electric sites are situated near the lake. The campground is nice, and for the number of people there exceptionally quiet. We truly enjoyed our stay. In fact, we are planning a trip back two weeks from today. One downfall however, when we stayed the water that is available from the faucets is well water. This water is high in iron content, and although I was assured it was safe, appeared green to me. So bring plenty of fresh water! - Stlheadake

So, there's two (or more) {{mooks}} attacking TheHero at once (hint: ''highly'' recommended in the EvilOverlordList). How to take them both down? UseYourHead! Or rather, use ''their'' heads: knock their heads into each other and [[TapOnTheHead knock both of them out.]]
And not just TheHero or TheLeader: TheBigGuy is also likely to do this, sometimes to henchmen of the BigBad. [[EvilCounterpart On the other side]], if not the BigBad, expect TheDragon or TheBrute to do this to a pair of {{Red Shirt}}s, or any allies of TheHero. Even TheHero, the BigBad, and ''females'' can be hit with this tactic. ''No one'' is immune.
Often has [[PlayedForLaughs comedic overtones]], despite being [[DontTryThisAtHome potentially fatal]] if done hard enough in RealLife. Sometimes used in place of a DopeSlap, although this variant generally does not knock the victims out. The comic variety is usually accompanied by a [[StockSoundEffect KONK!]]
%% SubTrope of UseYourHead or TapOnTheHead?

* Darkman in ''Comicbook/DarkmanVsArmyOfDarkness'' takes out two Deadite guards by knocking their heads together. This has unintended consequences, as they are old possessed corpses, so are reduced to dust by the impact.
* Happens in AlanMoore's ''ComicBook/{{Marvelman}}'' reboot, to two of [[spoiler: Dr. Gargunza's unfortunate mooks]]. This being a Moore-penned superhero, lots of [[LudicrousGibs red ink]] is involved in the art.

* Chien Po does this to two Huns in ''Disney/{{Mulan}}''.
* [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Terry McGinnis]] does this to the Deedees in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker''.
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger uses this tactic a lot.
** His character does it with two guard dogs in ''Film/TrueLies''. "Stay."
** Again in ''Film/TotalRecall1990''. When a group of {{mooks}} attack the heroe after he leaves Rekall, he takes out two of them by slamming their heads together.
** Mr. Freeze does it in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' to two Arkham Asylum guards while trying to escape.
* Evil example in ''Film/AustinPowersInternationalManOfMystery''. During an infiltration, Austin and Vanessa suffer such an attack at the hands of Random Task.
* A regular occurrence on ''Film/TheThreeStooges'', usually Moe doing it to Larry and the third stooge, and to bad guys.
* Jason kills a pair of deputies this way in ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday''.
* One of Franchise/{{Batman}}'s favorite moves to pull on mooks, like in ''Film/BatmanReturns''.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension''. Right after Dr. Lizardo is possessed by Lord John Whorfin, he cracks together the heads of two colleagues who just pulled him out of a wall.
* ''Film/TheGreatRace''. While The Great Leslie is infiltrating a castle he knocks out two guards in this way.
* A pair of zombies are disposed of this way in ''Film/ViolentShit III: Infantry of Doom''.
* The fishman ghoulie does this to the rat and cat ghoulie a couple of times in ''Film/GhouliesIIIGhouliesGoToCollege'', as a homage to the Three Stooges with the fishman playing the part of Moe.
* In ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990'', Tatsu gets angry and starts trashing the Foot's hideout and some of the ninjas try to calm him down, making him beat them up as they confront him. At one point he grabs two of them and bangs their heads together.
* In the final act of ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'', Jaws does this with two underlings when pulling his MookFaceTurn.
* Caramon the Warrior is fond of doing this in the early ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'' books.
* It pops up in the first ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' book, when [[BattleButler Butler]] picks a fight with a bunch of dockworkers to provide a distraction for Artemis. He mentally comments on how cliche it is, not to mention being ridiculously inefficient from a martial-arts standpoint -- but since the whole point of the fight is to be loud and spectacular, he uses it anyway.
* A lethal version occurs in Creator/RobertAHeinlein's ''Literature/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress'' during a riot.
-->Shorty had other two guards each by neck; he grinned as he cracked skulls together. They popped like eggs and he yelled at me: "Git!"
* Happens a couple of times in ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'', often courtesy of Marco's gorilla morph.
* Barlow the vampire kills Mark Petrie's parents this way in ''Literature/SalemsLot''.
* In the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' novel ''Literature/{{Shatterpoint}}'', Mace Windu uses the Force to aid in the momentum of two {{mooks}} coming towards him to smack their heads together. One of them needs [[TapOnTheHead an additional kick to the chin]] to stay unconscious.
* The BadassPriest of ''Literature/PanTadeusz'', father Robak, puts an end to a quarrel this way.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Fourth Doctor was very fond of using this upon Mooks.
* The original ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'' TV series had it.
* A NotHerself Series/{{Buffy|the Vampire Slayer}} does this to Xander and Oz in "Living Conditions".
* ''Series/{{Batman}}'' episode "The Penguin's A Jinx". At the end of the fight between the Dynamic Duo and the Penguin and his henchmen, Batman takes out the Penguin and one of the henchmen by knocking their heads together.
* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'': Al did this to Bud and Kelly once after they bought him a shirt and tie that he was already wearing for a third time.
* In the ''Series/XPlay'' segment "Kung Fu [[VideoGame/{{Halo}} Master Chief]]", the title VideoGame character slams the heads of two ninja together.
* ''Series/WonderWoman'' episode "The Nazi Wonder Woman". While being attacked by two Nazi guards Wonder Woman grabs their shoulders and knocks their heads together, knocking them out (they were wearing helmets at the time).

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* A pretty common move in Pro Wrestling, especially against {{tag teams}} for obvious reasons. Often referred to as "The Meeting of the Minds".
[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
** Can be done in the SNES game based on ''Film/BatmanReturns'' by grabbing two {{Mooks}}.
** Appears in ''Videogame/BatmanArkhamCity'' as a "double takedown".
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** ''Spider-Man & Venom: VideoGame/MaximumCarnage''. Using your webs while surrounded by two enemies will do this. The attack can actually kill some of the non super-villains bosses in one hit if done right.
** Also possible in ''Separation Anxiety''.
* ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' also features this as two of the possible non-lethal double takedowns. One is notable in that it's preceded by a double ''NeckLift'', the other in that it's ''followed'' by a haymaker that puts their heads together ''again'' like a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_cradle Newton's Cradle]].
* Can be done in ''VideoGame/DoubleDragonNeon'' as well, if you have two enemies stunned and close to each other and use a grab. Exceptions, aside from the ones immune to stun, are that Hoverbizzles do not need to be stunned to be caught in this move, and it can not be performed on [[GiantMook Abobo]], even though he can be stunned.
* In GhostbustersTheVideoGame'', the Slime Tether allows you to use this tactic. In fact, the PKE scans for the Confederate and Union ghosts actively encourages it. As Dr. Stantz says, "Use your head, kid! Heck, use theirs!"
* in ''VideoGame/LegendOfDragoon'' during the first battle with Kongol this is one of the moves in his repertoire.
[[folder:Web Original]]
* In the ''WebVideo/KeyOfAwesome'''s first Halloween video, the Pumpkin King smashes the two protagonists' heads like this in the end.
* ''Franchise/{{Neopets}}'': In "The Faeries Ruin" plot, Hanso does this to [[ThoseTwoGuys the Draik and Skeith guards]] while he's behind bars.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Done as a sneak attack on two Bone Hunters by Ackar in ''Franchise/{{BIONICLE}}: The Legend Reborn''.
* On ''WesternAnimation/MightyMax'' Norman does this in the opening credits. Then he gives the viewer a thumbs up for some reason.
* Raphael does this to two Foot Soldiers on the old ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1987}}'' cartoon. "I think it's time you two met!"
* ''WesternAnimation/TheHerculoids''.
** "Invasion of the Electrode Men". Igoo does it to two of the title characters.
** "Ruler of the Reptons". Zandor uses it to knock out two Repton guards.
* Duke Igthorn's good twin in ''WesternAnimation/GummiBears'' did it to two guards when blackmailed into villainy.
* A favorite tactic of Roadblock in ''WesternAnimation/GIJoe'' whenever he can get two Cobra {{Mooks}} within arms reach.
* A variation done by ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'' against the Idea Men: he smacked the head of one man in a line of them, causing them all to knock against each other like a clicking balls toy.
* Angel did this to two of the Leroy clones in ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch''.
* Creator/{{Filmation}} ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfSuperman'' episodes.
** "The Deadly Super-Doll". Superman does it to two crooks robbing a fur company.
** "The Deadly Icebergs". Superman does it to ''three'' crooks who are using exploding icebergs as weapons.
* ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' TOS episode "Terror Island". Race kicks a guard in the butt and causes his head to collide with that of another guard, knocking them both out.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' episode "A Fire Fighting We Will Go" at one point Boomhauer gets fed up with Bill and Dale's constant screw ups and bangs their heads together.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Birdman}} The Galaxy Trio]]'' episode "Versus the Moltens of Meteorus". While Meteor Man is fighting the Moltens he picks up two of them and slams their heads together, knocking them out.
* ''Young Samson & Goliath'' episode "Moon Rendezvous". Samson and Goliath throw two Moon Beasts at each other head first. Their heads slam into each other and the monsters are knocked unconscious.
-->'''Samson:''' That's what you call using ''their'' heads!
* In WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels, Zeb, who is a Lasat and TheBigGuy of the EnsembleCast, quite frequently does this to unsuspecting Storm Troopers.
[[folder:Real Life]]
* Medal of Honor recipient and CombatMedic David Bleak slammed together the heads of two bayonet-wielding Chinese enemy soldiers that came at him and the wounded soldier he was carrying during the Korean War. The enemy soldiers died. Fortunately, he put his comrade down before charging.

No about that. Obama's Mom's circle was not one that intersected the Mossads. It's interesting, in a way.
