Mr.Lucky's 24/7 Cafe at Hard Rock Casino. We had a $15 food credit, so we ordered the ham steak and their secret menu item (although, it's not a secret anymore, but it's not on the menu), the $7.77 steak and shrimp special.
The $7.77 steak and shrimp special is supposed to come with (or at least the website says) an 8-ounce New York sirloin steak, three jumbo shrimps, salad, garlic mashed potatoes and a roll. We didn't get a roll. We also got fries instead of mashed potatoes. You can choose. Shrimp was grilled, and it was good, steak was OK, for this price. So, yeah, it's not a bad deal.
Ham steak $3.95
Steak and Shrimp $7.77
Some parts were really hard, but some were soft.

Married At First Sight is a reality show where people don't meet the person they're going to marry until the wedding itself, sort of like arranged marriages in some parts of the world but sort of not.
The show, based on a Danish program of the same name, follows six couples as they make what might be the most idiotic decision of their lives – and it's all caught on tape! Good times.
Four experts are involved in this "extreme social experiment" – a sexologist, a spiritualist, a psychologist and a sociologist.
One of the six singles, a 27-year-old nurse from Harlem called Jamie Otis, was understandably freaked out after meeting her husband for the first time at the altar (Doug Hehner, a 31-year-old commercial sales rep and lifeguard):
"Walking down the aisle, I am so scared. This is the worst feeling! I just happened to be not attracted to the guy. I'm getting married right now to someone I don't know. I'm thinking I just made the worst decision of my life."
And you expected what, lady? I know dating is hard but come on…
Watch Married At First Sight on Tuesdays at 9ET/10PT!

After deciding to confront your debt and vanquish it to life's rear view mirror, your first step should be evaluating your spending habits. After all, spending beyond one's means of payment is the basic cause of debt. Often, however, it is difficult for most of us to find substantial money saving lifestyle cuts because we tend to believe that most things in our lives are essential. Still, believe it or not, it is possible to make do without things like elaborate cable and cell phone packages. Therefore, if you have debt you must approach your lifestyle with a critical eye, and trim the fat so that all is left are the bare essentials—food, shelter and health insurance. Doing so will be aggravating, but it will also help rescue you from debt.
This is not the sole method of debt reduction, however. Another excellent approach is to pay down your debt strategically. Most credit card debt represents a combination of balances held on various cards, each with a different interest rate. In order to systematically lower the cost of your debt you must refrain from paying the same amount of money to each card per month. Instead, pay only the minimum amount required to the card(s) with the lowest APR(s) and the rest of your monthly credit card payment allocation to the card with the highest interest rate. Once this card is paid off, apply this technique to the remaining card(s) before using this allocation for car loan or mortgage payments.
When addressing your debt, it is also important to understand that credit card companies regard payments below the minimum amount required and no payment at all without much distinction. Payment amounts less than the minimum initiate or worsen credit card delinquency in exactly the same manner as lack of payment, and therefore should not be made. If you do not have enough money to meet the minimum payment, refrain from paying anything until you do.
However, if you are delinquent, remember that there is a big difference between the required minimum and the total amount due. The minimum payment is the amount required to avoid slipping further into delinquency. The total amount due is what you must pay in order to become current on your payments, which is the sum of the minimum payments that you have missed plus the upcoming minimum payment.
If your debt worsens and the aforementioned options prove unsuccessful, you should call your lender and try to negotiate for a lower debt total, decreased interest rates or a payment plan that involves a lower monthly minimum.
You must approach these negotiations with knowledge and tact, however. Call your issuer knowing how much you can afford in terms of both lump sum and per month payments. Explain your situation calmly and politely and do not exceed your means with the terms of any agreement because breaking restructured terms will likely trigger expensive penalties.
If, however, your negotiation efforts fail and your debt continues to worsen, it might be worth paying a professional for either debt settlement or debt management services. Debt settlement is when your issuer is concerned by the fact that you are severely delinquent and agrees to lower your debt in return for you paying off the decreased sum with a single payment. Debt management involves developing a payment plan that often includes lowered interest rates and decreased monthly payments in exchange of closing all your credit cards. While these methods require an outlay of money, they might be worth the extra cost because of the experience and relationships that these organizations bring to the table.
However, do not pay any company promising debt relief before it actually provides you with tangible results. Recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations preclude debt relief telemarketers from charging for services not yet rendered, but there are many unscrupulous companies in this category and caution must be exercised nonetheless.
If these options are either inapplicable or unsuccessful, you might want to consult a bankruptcy attorney. Bankruptcy should be a last resort, however, because it significantly damages one's credit for a period of 7-10 years.

Well I don't have the key to your money
And I don't have the key to your mind
And I'm fighting off my demons
One swing at a time
one swing at a time
Hold onto my hand
I was born
under an unlucky star
When they pro-created you honey
They had the best intentions in mind
But now I can see the black ravens
Circling in the sky
circling in the sky
Hold onto my hand
You were born
under an unlucky star
Well I've see em all chase money
And that's a race I never ran
Climbing up the mountain side to be a
Flash in the pan
Flash in the pan
Hold onto my hand
Never mind
under an unlucky star

joebarnes says Jack Hoyle's photos of South Korea show an attention to detail and eye for composition that few photographers possess. And crucially, his pictures have emotion, a rare thing in modern photography. His images range from joyful to contemplative, bizarre to serious, wild to urban. There is a lot of energy to his work and his enthusiasm comes across on the pages of this book. Some of the images here are exquisite. A photographer destined for big things.

lalauramid says An excellent insight into South Korea, which is still so mysterious to the world. Whist I was Away, highlights the unique character and issues being faced within a country that is so developed yet so underdeveloped, so modern but so traditional, so fast paced and some how so layed back. A beautifully captured album to be proud of, great work!!

kengelen says From cover to cover this book is visually appealing and packed full of culture. Mr. Hoyle has captured everything that is genuine and beautiful about life in South Korea. Having recently moved to Korea myself, I can relate to the reality of these photographs. The pictures are stunning and the story is true. I have enjoyed this book very much. Thank you, Jack!

Dual pump with a hospital grade pump every 2 hours and every 3 hours overnight, no matter what. Contact the lactation consultant at the hospital to work with. Breastfeeding herbs can help as long as you are pumping very often. Try a combo product from http://www.breastfeedingherbs.com and use daily.posted 04/18/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Are you working with a lactation consultant? Having baby nurse is the best way to promote production. You can also hand express - that promotes production better than using a mechanical pump. Some people think oatmeal helps.posted 04/18/2013 by clark27

Amy Winehouse Completely Messed Up During Tour Kickoff in Belgrade [VIDEO]
Amy Winehouse was disoriented and, at times, completely incoherent while performing in the Serbian capital of Belgrade last night.
The oft-rehabbed singer stumbled several times up to her band and back-up singers, who had to help her through a number of songs, including "Back to Black," "Just Friends," and "You Know I'm No Good."
Winehouse, who was booed throughout the show, alternated between warbling a few words here and just reciting some of the lyrics.
Incredibly, last night was the kickoff of Winehouse's European tour.
The local paper, The Blic, called Winehouse's performance, "The worst in the history of Belgrade."
Check out some of the singer's performances last night in the videos below.

Great Bag
I purchased this bag for a cross-country trip so that I could take my computer and other work things with me. It worked great. Unfortunately I just purchased a new bigger laptop that doesn't fit in the padded area and thought I was going to have to find a different bag, but it fits in the middle section just fine. Probably will need to get a padded sleeve, but this bag will accomodate lots. I'm happy that I can still use this bag. It's a fun color too. I love the fabric and durability of all my Haiku bags.
My everyday companion
This is one of the best purchases that I have ever made. I commute into a metro area every morning, and this bag keeps me organized and hauls all that I want and more. My beast of a laptop fits in the central compartment when I need to take it with me; otherwise, I can stick my lunch bag in there. I have zippered pouches in front compartment that are transferred to a smaller purse on the weekends, and the back compartment is great for notes and papers. My rail pass stays in the front zippered pouched attached to a lanyard hooked to the outside hardware. I cannot imagine a better bag for my purposes.

Dave's bud Brad Crawford said:
I kinda like that idea, but this kid is supposed to be able to play better now. Not in 4 weeks and I see no need in committing to him any longer with a private tutor. I say we trade him to another team for an older, experienced veteran and maybe a draft pick - sure to be a taker somewhere (Cam Cameron in Baltimore, maybe?) - and move on.
I agree, but I was trying to find some middle ground since Sparano seems to have a thing for Ginn.
And of course you know if we traded him, he'd be an all-pro wherever he goes, and would wind up beating the Dolphins.

Miles Davis: Right Off
Right Off
Miles Davis (trumpet)
A Tribute to Jack Johnson (Columbia S 30455)
Miles Davis (trumpet), John McLaughlin (electric guitar), Michael Henderson (electric bass), Billy Cobham (drums),
Steve Grossman (soprano sax), Herbie Hancock (organ).
Composed by Miles Davis.
Recorded: New York, April 1970
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
I once read a review of The Tribute to Jack Johnson by a New York jazz writer who claimed the album title referred to a "little known" American boxer. I nearly spit-up my oatmeal! So I good naturedly wrote the guy to say I liked his piece, but he should really know that Jack Johnson was one of the most famous boxers who ever lived. I never did hear back from him. But, soon after, he wrote a scathing review of a book I'd written. That was the last time I pointed out any egregious errors to a reviewer (including the ones he made about my book). It's a shame, really, because if you don't understand the history of Jack Johnson, you don't understand the history of Miles Davis. And if you don't understand that, you shouldn't be writing about Miles in the first place.
Though Davis's In a Silent Way helped to lay the fusion groundwork and Bitches Brew received all the credit, the third album recorded after the other two was actually the most important to the genre. "Right Off" from that album was jazz-rock fusion's harbinger.
The tune was simply a spur-of-the-moment jam based upon a vamp John McLaughlin was working on for his own music. But with this performance, McLaughlin fired off one of the first great jazz-rock guitar warning shots. His reverberating and twisted jazz chords, which he strummed as a rock guitarist would, and his nasty jazz-blues runs created an infectious vibe. Bassist Michael Henderson was just as important. His funk-drenched lines, along with Cobham's funky rock-based drumming, provide a thick underpinning that propels the entire piece. Miles hadn't even written out a part for himself. The red light was on. He excitedly grabbed his horn and ran into the studio to join in, bursting out with some power punches to aid and abet the jabs Herbie Hancock and Steve Grossman were throwing. This was a heavyweight bout.
You see, it all comes back to Jack Johnson, one of the most famous boxers who ever lived. And don't you forget it!
The extraordinary recording sessions for Jack Johnson have become legendary. They are very ably described by Bill Milkowski in his liner notes to the must-have Complete Jack Johnson Sessions, a collection that came out years later.

Good evening,
I'm running into a strange issue on a Windows 7 machine. I'm working on deploying OpenVPN to our mobile workforce and they've requested the ability to have their home drive and another share automatically mapped when they log into the VPN.
So far, I'm using the following lines in a batch file:
net use O: \\172.23.6.127\shares /persistent:no
net use U: \\172.23.6.127\%USERNAME% /persistent:no
The command prompt opens as expected and the script executes successfully, however, I cannot see the network drives listed. If I immediately attempt to run the script manually, I get an error 53 telling me that the name is already in use.
As the image below shows, if I disconnect the VPN tunnel then reconnect without running the script automatically (i.e., by removing the UP script on the config folder), then run the batch file manually, the shares are mapped and they show up.
Any assistance would be really appreciated, thanks.

What is the most natural necessary (and may be even sufficient) condition on M that allows to conclude that $s=0$? E.g. if $R$ is reduced and $M$ is (locally) free then this holds, but I can think of many other examples and non-examples.
update: obvious non-example is a non-reduced ring viewed as a module over itself. If one takes a ring, even reduced, then $M=R/I$ is a non-example, if $R/I$ is a non-reduced ring, and an example if it is a reduced ring. Of course, taking direct sums produces more (non-)examples.

On Friday February 21, 2014, the big parade days begin in the Carnival season leading up to Mardi Gras. The first one, Krewe of Cork, begins in the French Quarter at 3:00 p.m.
The parade is always the two Fridays before Mardi Gras, and the entire day is a celebration of wine, food, and fun. Their costumes are wine and grape flavored, and they stay with this theme every year. During the parade, there are "wine police" on golf carts who make sure that all the krewe members' wine glasses are not empty. Although there are four hundred local members, the krewe has members from all over.
The parade will go on the most famous streets in New Orleans, including Bourbon Street. It will be a good idea to reserve a spot in the area early!

The Grand Canyon is one of the most iconic emblems of the American Southwest as well as an internationally famous location. It is also a Natural Wonder of the World. The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon that was carved by the Colorado River in the desert state of Arizona. The process occurred naturally and has been going on for over 17 million years! The Grand Canyon is most notable for the reddish coloration of the canyons which gives it a unique appearance that has become associated with the southwestern landscape of the United States. Every year the Grand Canyon is visited by thousands of tourists from all over the world.
Below are some facts about the Grand Canyon:
• The Grand Canyon is managed by the Grand Canyon National Park
• The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long and up to 18 miles wide. At its highest point the canyon depth is over 6,000 feet—that is equal to over a mile of distance between the bottom of the canyon and the top of the peak!
• The Grand Canyon is home to many Native America tribes who believed that the location was holy. For example, the Pueblo People made pilgrimages to the canyon far before Europeans ever set foot in North America.
• According to documentation, the first European to see the Grand Canyon was Garcia Lopez de Cardenas who came to America from Spain in 1540.

Resistance exercise disturbs skeletal muscle homeostasis leading to activation of catabolic and anabolic processes within the muscle cell. A current challenge of exercise biology is to describe the molecular mechanisms of regulation by which contractile activity stimulates net protein breakdown during exercise and net protein synthesis during recovery. Muscle growth is optimized by combining exercise and appropriate nutritional strategies, such as amino acid (AA) and carbohydrate ingestion. The effects are integrated at the level of one central regulatory protein, mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). mTOR is a complex protein integrating signals of the energetic status of the cell and environmental stimuli to control protein synthesis, protein breakdown and therefore cell growth. mTOR is known to be activated by insulin, and the mechanisms involved are well documented. The ways by which exercise and AA lead to mTOR activation remain partially unclear. Exercise and AA use different signalling pathways upstream of mTOR. Exercise seems to recruit partially the same pathway as insulin, whereas AA could act more directly on mTOR. During resistance exercise, the activity of mTOR could be acutely blunted by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), thus inhibiting protein synthesis and enhancing AA availability for energy metabolism. During recovery, the inhibition of mTOR by AMPK is suppressed, and its activation is maximized by the presence of AA. There appears to be a requirement for a minimal concentration of plasma insulin to stimulate muscle protein synthesis in response to resistance exercise and AA ingestion.

[Please note, this shelter has a taken a new humane direction with new staff and deserves your support. This is due to the residents of NB for demanding change!] This writer recently talked with a volunteer of the Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area. It was a disturbing conversation, raising questions as to how animals are treated there. This is the second volunteer to be interviewed. As with the first volunteer interviewed, some details about this person have been changed to protect his identity. None of the details about how the shelter is run have been changed. Let's call this second volunteer, Joe. [This article has been edited to remove notification of a City Council meeting which is now past. --Editor]
The first volunteer told about the ordeal of a pregnant cat who suffered in labor for two days. As horrible as the details were, this writer left something out as too gruesome. The Humane Society is now on record on their FaceBook page calling the first volunteer's story "completely untrue." So it is just all going to be put out there now, graphic or not.
No one who saw Mama Cat will ever forget her. She was in labor for 48 hours and when finally taken to the vet, she had a cold, dead kitten stuck in her birth canal. X-rays revealed a crushed pelvis, likely the result of pushing in labor. Joe was horrified at the pain the cat was in and the cat's condition. The dead kitten's head was detached from the kitten's body. The inability to remove the dead kitten's head had prompted the Humane Society staff, after some disagreement, to allow the cat to be taken to the vet.
Joe speculated the cat had been in so much pain, she had chewed the kitten's head off. The first volunteer I spoke to thought the head had come off because the kitten had been dead for some time. By the time a vet saw Mama Cat, her body was cold and she seemed numb to the pain. That was one small blessing before she welcomed her end.
She was not the only cat that Joe saw die at the new Humane Society facility. For about a month, every morning the staff would find one or more dead cats when they opened up in the morning. The reason for the deaths was a mystery, but the cats had all foamed at the mouth before dying. Finally a sick cat was taken to the vet and the diagnosis was Feline panleukopenia (also called feline distemper.)
The American Veterinary Medical Association website describes it as a "highly contagious and deadly viral disease of cats" which used to be "the most serious infectious disease of cats." Now that there is a vaccine, the disease is considered uncommon. The cat had to be euthanized and the Humane Society was instructed to quarantine the cats, sterilize the cat area and cease adoptions for a minimum of two weeks. However, the volunteer said several people adopted cats after the diagnosis and the cats fell ill. This happened over six months ago, so the panleukopenia is no longer present. With so many cats being killed each year by the Humane Society (over 80% in 2013) this writer would hate to see people hesitate to adopt cats. Truly you save a life when you adopt there.
Generally a kill shelter will not vaccinate until an animal is adopted; but these kill shelters keep the animals for only a few days. They are either adopted, killed, or sent to rescues. The Humane Society likely follows the same practice regarding vaccines (this writer does not yet know), but they keep animals for a much longer period of time. The longer you keep animals without vaccinating them, the greater the risk some animals will contract a preventable illness.
Medical woes are not just confined to the cats. Joe saw a dog with a hurt leg. The dog was taken to the vet and found to have a broken leg. Humane Society staff declined to have the dog's leg set and refused pain medication. It is not known why those decisions were made, but any further treatment would have been an additional charge. The volunteer did not have further information on the dog.
There are no veterinarians or vet techs employed by the Humane Society. So, it would seem the Humane Society management would welcome medical training for their staff. Area veterinarians have noticed the staff's lack of expertise and reached out offering free seminars. (Local veterinarians are very generous to the Humane Society, offering free and discounted treatment.) During Joe's tenure as a volunteer, these offers to train Human Society staff in best medical practices were refused.
One time, shortly before he ceased to volunteer at the Humane Society, Joe overheard one side of a phone conversation, hopefully it was to a veterinarian; "What happens if you give a dog a cat vaccine?"
There was a pause and then came a follow-up question, "What if it is more than one dog?"
There is a FaceBook page promoting No Kill for New Braunfels and a website: "No-Kill New Braunfels" If Austin can be NO KILL, New Braunfels can be NO KILL
I am looking for more volunteers from the Humane Society to tell me what goes on in the area away from the public behind closed doors and members of the public to tell me their experiences. Your privacy will be respected and your identity concealed. E-mail email@example.com

The arducopter tuning guide.
This guide was written at the time of the release of Arducopter 2.8.1 FW. It is a compilation of everything I have gathered from the experts in the field of flight controller tuning. It will help give you an understanding of how to tune any rotor based flight controller, but its specific to Arducopter and this firmware release.
I will update this as necessary, or if you can convince me any of it is incorrect just post below and I'll update this text.
There is a summary/quick reference at the bottom, so once you've read this rather rambling explanation you won't have to again, other than to check details :D
The background
Tuning your flight controller is essential for a perfect flight. Even a fully stock frame will fly better if you tune. The default params will be close, but your battery or motors might be performing differently, your air maybe 'thinner' compared to the developer that last published the default params, so you should tune.
What we are trying to achieve is control. We start to accomplish this by modifying the amount of P, I and D in our control loops. All three react to our stick inputs and the errors created by measurements from our sensors, and all three will help us fly better. If we do not have enough of any of the params the copter will not feel like it's under control, it will wander about, not resist wind and be hard to fly. Too much of any of the params and the copter will seem to have a mind of its own. It will over-react. At best you will see it oscillate, very fast, not so fast or somewhere in between, depending on which parameter has been overclocked. At worst it will simple flip over on take-off or be very unpredictable in flight.
We need to find a balance. You can tune each param up individually, but one will have an effect on another. Therefore we must tune one, then another, then go back and see if we can retune the first one again, this is the balance.
And this is where we adjust those parameters – Mission planner config page:
Before you start:
So let's start tuning
Everything you read below will be demonstrated in the tuning video further down, so you know what to look for, and at the bottom is a summary for quick reference. I think, however, it's important to include as much information here as possible as anyone starting into this hobby will often find this process to be a bit of a black art.
I've found the quickest way to tune the arducopter is to start with rate_D, (but you simply can't do this unless you can hold your beast in hand or in a jig as the copter won't fly without any rate_P or I) so a more universal way to start, and actually a more informative way is to start with rate_P.
Since this is about learning for everyone, let's do it that way. I'll give a brief low-down on the 'rate_D' tune (or Dave C tune, as it's become known) ' later. (BTW, that's very flattering but I'm only relaying info from the real experts, but hey, if I'm gonna be famous, why not for doing something I love :)) Anyway....
STEP ONE - Tuning rate_P
STEP TWO – Tuning rate_D
NOTE: once you have found your rate_D you can try something interesting - you will have to hold onto your bird for this obviously. Set rate_P to zero, then crank up your rate_D as you just have. You will discover that these fast oscillations occur at pretty much the same level of rate_D, no matter what you have set rate_P to. This is why I think it's more than possible to start tuning rate_D then move on to P. But that's a shortcut, and this is not what this guide is all about.
STEP THREE – Tuning rate_P even more
Congratulations, your copter should be flying better than it ever has done before.
For now set Stab_P at 3.0 - 3.5, closer to 3.0 if you have a high power machine, just to get you flying in stab mode. Then spend your time tuning rate_I and stab_P.
If you find your set up immediately too harsh, back off on rate_P and rate_D by 10% each, and try a lower i-term, if it's still too harsh do that again!
All that's left is to watch the video below so you can see what I'm describing and head outside for fine tuning. Oh, and await part two of the guide and amendments from any discussions raised, then we will have a proper tuning guide that will be integrated into the wiki advanced tuning guide :D
Results for tuning in this video were
Rate_P 0.168
Rate_I 0.654
Rate_D 0.008
Oh and as promised, below is Part One of the Summary Guide. I aim this to be on one sheet of A4 and tell you everything you need know 'in the field'.
Summary Guide
Summary of what you are looking for
Too much rate P will oscillate quickly, and cause to copter to sound angry under stick input, bouncing rather than smoothly following your inputs. It will also shake more at full throttle and under hard turning.
Not enough you will not feel like you have full control. It will feel sloppy and be very easy to over correct with your inputs. It will feel delayed.
Perfect is where it feels locked in, stiff in the air, but not shaky. (although if I'm sport flying I turn it up a bit for maximum 'wang' and just tolerate the slight oscillations)
Too much rate_I will oscillate if you get high enough (a much slower oscillation than a rate_P shake). But quite a long while before it oscillates it will have other detrimental effects on flight performance, like a sluggish feeling or a tendancy to flip over on take-off. This is why I suggest tuning this in flight rather than in your hand/jig.
Not enough will cause the copter to get pushed by a constant wind, then it will fight back using just P. It will not hold a very firm angle during forward flight and will need more correction. This will not be as smooth as it could be in either case.
The perfect amount will cause the copter to lean gracefully into a constant wind, but also allow you to set a lean angle and stay there as you fly about. As you dial rate_i in pay close attention to the feel of the copter, you are not looking to create oscillations here at all, you should notice a strange 'feel' long before this point.
Too much rate_D will oscillate very fast, you will see a twitch forming then a fast buzzing oscillation
Not enough rate_D will simply mean you can't dial enough rate_P and so you will suffer the effects of having rate_P too low.
A perfect rate_D will help fight the wind and follow your sticks as its fast to react, but will also allow you to reach a maximum rate_P level for you frame, thus giving better control.

To the air moving around it, a flat plate is hardly "flat". Most real world flat plates have either a rounded, or a square LE. So the location of the flow stagnation point will shift up and down the LE depending on angle of attack. This modifies the geometry over which the flow must travel.
Further, a flat plate with a sharp LE (knife edge) will have a fixed stagnation point, but still create appreciable lift (compared to most rocks anyways). Why? Flat plates have a somewhat large flow separation bubble near the LE on top; flow readily reattaches to the wing due to high turbulence. This bubble of relatively stagnant air near the LE creates an invisible airfoil cross section, which the incoming flow must travel around. There is no separation on the bottom; so the flow on top travels farther.
Have to interject here: aerodynamic lift from a foil is based on the difference in the amount of time for air molecules to exert force. The faster flowing air over the top doesn't interact for as long and thus doesn't generate as much force as the slower flowing bottom air because of the time factor. Higher speed = less time to exert force. The air flows further in the same amount of time over the top of a foil therefore higher relative speed. So actually both top and bottom surfaces of a foil are crucial to lift as is the relationship between them (along with angle of attack, foil ratios, blah blah blah). Experiments have been done shredding the boundary layer on the leading edge of the top of a foil to add lift- it works. Keep the bottom flow smooth and laminar tho. Aerodynamic lift is not friction based drag lift from an angled surface into oncoming flow to create a side force. A propeller is a mixture of both concepts- it is carving off a constant spiral of air and throwing down almost the weight of a craft like ours in air to reactively push our crafts up.
Another note: I really think using higher cost but stiffer, stronger and more rigid, pre-balanced three blade props will make many other problems go away by removing vibrations. My airframe is smooth as silk, quiet and snappy in performance. Three blade props will vibrate at much higher resonant frequencies than a two blade of the same length.
Nice, good info all, can you tell I'm a biologist ;)
Good news is I've got a box of graupners arriving today, so I shouldn't need any tape or anything else Woohooo!
I'll try to balance my 3 bladers too - they've been sat around too long now!
Where have you found high quality 3 blade props?
Cheers Dave.
My APM is on foam but its fairly stiff. Will sort that out after Ive made a new motor mount.
Im thinking of building a H frame with the 2 arms also on soft mounts. Anything would be better than the £23 Chinese frame my son got for Christmas. Also a faulty 5Ah 4s lipo has to go back. This was supposed to be fun.
I always thought it was the opposite. Isn't' the top of the wing on a plane the working side? I've also seen a way of balancing it with it connected to a flat piece of aluminum and with a laser pointer attached to the aluminum arm. Then just put the dot at a distant wall and start of the motor. If you have any imbalance it will result in a line on the wall and as you fix it it becomes a dot. I will have to try your hand balancing method. Seems quick and easy!
I'm so used to tuning now I do alot of stuff automatically. I sometimes find that the jig tune is a bit OTT once I hit the field, so just take rate_P down a bit. In the jig I might end up with 0.18, this is great for acrobatics, but sometime too harsh for general flight. I'd expect about 0.165 to be more like it for smooth flight, a bit lower if you are carrying a camera.
As you say though, you have to sort the vibes out first.
I tried this method last night but with Android. The iphone app looks better.
What Android app did you find was the best? I have tried two (can't remember names right now) on my Asus Transformer and I found they were not very fast/responsive. Almost like they had dampeners on the output. I guess it could be the sensors in the tablet are too slow?
this one
There was another that looked better but just keps locking the phone.
Dont want to take up any more of Daves excellent tuning guide but I have just discovered why I coudnt get my copter stable with bigger props. Motor problem.
Details here.

Win 2003 R2 setup. I can push the printer via group policy, and pushprinterconnections.exe, but the printer isn't set as the default printer. Any ideas on how to set the default printer for an XP box via group policy?
In the past I've done this using a startup script.
Using wscript:
Taken from this link
In your comment on this answer you mention an issue with timing. On our systems I call the script that sets default printers by adding the script under
User Configuration - Templates - System/Logon - Run Programs at Logon
The programs under 'run programs at logon' happen after the profile is done loading, and after windows explorer has started. I am not 100% certain that this will deal with the timing issue in all cases, but it works for me.
This is a surprisingly annoying problem to solve. The first problem is that the default printer setting is user specific. The second problem like you noted in your comment to Jimmie is that even with a per-user login script, there are timing issues where the printer doesn't technically exist yet or the HKCU hive hasn't finished loading.
What we ended up doing in our situation is basically using a login script that loops looking for the printer to exist before it tries to set it as default. If it can't find it after a certain amount of time, it just gives up.
We have school districts using R2 printing deployment for labs. To combat this left out function from R2 we use Kixtart to help. This will help is you deploy printers for users in specific labs. This will also provide the delay needed to wait for windows to add the printer.
Labs have a naming convention. HS101-01, HS101-02, HS102-01, HS102-02, etc
Using a kixtart startup script from a Group Policy Object we have kix32.exe execute this script below.
I hope this will help. Thanks.

I bought this dress for my wedding this year and am now selling it.
It is a very comfortable, (not too poofy/heavy) but still very formal dress.
I had the dress hemmed to my height with flats (5'7″)
The sash is also sewn onto the dress as I did not like the look of the bow in the back.
there was also a bustle added.
The lace veil is not included, but I do have a beaded cathedral length veil i bought and decided not to wear that I will throw in for free if you want it(it has never been worn, still has tags) can send pictures if interested.

Most Americans admit that they don't eat nearly enough vegetables. This is especially true for children. As parents know, some kids love them while others hate them. In an attempt to feed my family healthy and budget-friendly meals, I scoured the refrigerator looking for ideas. Craving pizza, but not having the right ingredients, I decided to get creative and came up with this cabbage and onion pizza recipe.
- 1 pizza crust or make your own (I use this homemade pizza crust recipe)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or create it yourself
- 1/2 grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 green cabbage, diced
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Put parchment paper on a pizza pan or cookie sheet. If you don't have parchment, then aluminum foil will do.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the crust. You want it thin, but you don't want to miss spots either.
- Place mozzarella cheese all over the crust.
- Put the diced onions on the pizza.
- Add the green cabbage on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
I wasn't sure how this homemade pizza recipe would come out, but both my picky husband and kids loved it! My husband hates onions with a passion, so I put those on the bottom and covered them up with the cabbage and more mozzarella cheese on top. He didn't know the difference and thought it was delicious.
To make your own pizza recipe, you can get creative. Just look in your cupboards, refrigerator and freezer for things to add. Radishes, zucchini, spinach and broccoli are great additions to any pizza dish. Hiding some veggies in pizza underneath pepperoni or ham would also be a great way for your kids to get their veggies without them knowing it.

Ostracized by his peers and estranged from his father, Bruce Lee fanatic Jason Stillwell struggles to fit in after moving to Seattle. Following a series of misfortunes, his idol crosses into the living world to teach him how to harness his chi and fuck shit up. With this newfound wisdom and the friendship of resident dancing machine R.J. Madison, Jason confronts a looming threat and learns the true meaning of "No retreat, no surrender."
Director: Corey Yuen
Writer: Keith W. Strandberg
Cast: Kurt McKinney, Jean-Claude Van Damme, J.W. Fails, Tim Baker, Kent Lipham, Dale Jacoby, Ron Pohnel, Pete Cunningham, Tai Chung Kim
Throughout their time in Los Angeles, life was good for the Stillwells. Tom Stillwell, played by Timothy D. Baker, owned and operated a karate school in Sherman Oaks. His son, Jason (McKinney), was an overeager martial-arts trainee with bad hair and an obsession with Bruce Lee.
Their lives are forever changed when the senior Stillwell is paid a hostile visit by well-dressed goons following a karate class. After refusing to join their evil syndicate comprised of three people, Tom attempts to defuse the tension, stating, "karate is not to be used aggressively." The baddies reject this moralist plea and come out swinging. Ivan the Russian, naturally played by the Belgian-born Van-Damme, breaks Tom's leg then pie-faces our young hero with all the force of someone pushing an actual pie into an actual face. Jason has designs on revenge, but the attack reduces his father to a quivering bag of vaginas. Fearing for the safety of his loved ones, he abandons his dojo and moves the family to Seattle.
While unpacking during the move, Jason befriends the charismatic R.J. Madison. The chronic multitasker can dribble a basketball while riding a bike and skateboard while listening to rap music. But only moments into one of R.J.'s freestyle raps/breakdance routines, Jason learns of his horrible affliction—anytime he performs advanced dance moves or falls from a shelving unit, he turns Caucasian, like Michael Jackson after critical and commercial success. Whatever this stuntman casting lacked in authenticity, it had ignorant oversight in spades.
In each other, R.J. and Jason find a reflection of their common awkwardness; while one uses the joys of breakdance and rap to cope, the other uses a karate style looser than Paris Hilton. And so the credo, "no retreat, no surrender!" becomes their battle cry. They use it before having rumbles outside of burger joints and after late-night talks about the fleeting nature of curfews. Does such liberal application of the slogan render it meaningless? Probably.
Outside this bio-dome of good vibes, a pack of snarling Johnny Lawrence wannabes awaits. There's Dean "Shooting Star" Ramsey [Dale Jacoby], Seattle's most underappreciated assistant karate instructor and total dickhead. The crew's resident obnoxious fatass, Scott [Kent Lipham], has beef with Jason because of his Bruce Lee freakdom and with R.J. because of his swanky Jheri curl. When he's not eating cake off the hood of a car, he's eating chips while window-washing and buying friendship with burgers. The running theme: he likes to eat but makes poor nutritional choices. Both of these scrubs play second fiddle to the pack's alpha dog, Ian "Whirlwind" Reilly. He would seem to have it all: abundant chest hair, his own karate school, championship glory, and the admiration of the entire Pacific Northwest. While his plastic trophy marks him as a champion, his oft-furrowed brow says, "as a child I was forced to participate in Satanic rituals."
Scott and Dean are constantly harshing Jason's mellow, starting with the latter's failed attempt to join Reilly's karate school. While Ian is away on the Empty Arena Tour of Champions '85, Dean is performing his duty as assistant instructor. While initially amenable to this newest applicant, he becomes enraged by Scott's news that Jason has been talking shit about Seattle-brand karate. So he employs Frank, his most advanced student, to fight the outsider during an exhibition in front of the whole class. Racial differences not withstanding, what follows looks a lot like the Globetrotters versus the Generals; after a thorough schooling, Jason runs out the school with R.J. in tow, both retreating and surrendering.
However, the worst example of Dean's treachery occurs at a birthday pool party for Ian's femulleted sister Kelly, who just so happens to be Jason's main squeeze. This relationship proves the latest thorn in Dean's half-shirted side. When he discovers the two kissing after Jason presents her with a birthday rabbit (?), he and Scott scheme to humiliate him. It should be noted that Jason's the only shithead in a shirt and tie at a pool party, which is humiliating enough. And he's wearing cowboy boots. To add to the misery, Scott throws fabric-staining punch on Jason's stupid shirt and flings frosted cake at his stupid face. When our hero tries to retaliate, Dean beats the shit out of him. Thoroughly emasculated, Jason storms out as an angered Kelly slaps Dean and chases after her knight in shining cowboy boots. Infuriated by what he perceives as a set-up, he peels away in his wood-paneled station wagon and leaves Kelly in tears.
Instead of abusing drugs or setting a homeless man on fire like a normal teenager, Jason deals with this latest trauma by going to Bruce Lee's grave and crying for help. When he returns home, his father denounces his son's brawling ways and lack of punctuality. Jason challenges him on his lack of manhood and Old-Man Stillwell gesticulates repeatedly at the ground, his house, the garage, the station wagon, and even himself while shouting parental decrees. When preparing for the level of rage required in this scene, Baker, no doubt, thought of his measly paycheck.
The conflict culminates with Tom tearing Jason's Bruce Lee poster cleanly in half (attn: film students--the soul). Instead of beating the shit of his crippled dad, he whimpers like a child on his way to the doctor's office for an afternoon of inoculations and blood work, and runs off into the night.
After jogging for about three miles to R.J.'s house for help (still in cowboy boots), he sets up what remains of his training equipment in an abandoned house and falls asleep. During his slumber, the ghost of a guy that looks like Bruce Lee to those who can't tell the difference between Asian people crosses over into the material world and offers his services. In a promotional placement Diet Coke would probably rather forget, Lee favorably compares his knowledge of the martial-arts to the superior flavor of the popular cola. Over the coming weeks, Jason learns many techniques useful for both fighting and training montages.
The first test of Jason's freshly buffed skills comes against a band of alcoholic thugs who've been harassing his father at the local watering hole, where he works as a bartender. (Bartending and karate licenses are interchangeable in most states.) The boozehounds quietly lurk in the parking lot as Tom leaves after his day shift, and commence the beatdown just as Jason arrives to pick his father up from work. He easily dispatches the uncoordinated winos and sends them scurrying into the streets, where their search for hooch resumes. The display of self-sacrifice helps Tom finally understand that fighting is a necessary life skill, like personal finance. With their relationship upgraded from angry and cold to emotional and awkward, father and son walk off in pursuit of the challenges that lay ahead.
And wouldn't you know it. The same three-man syndicate that attacked the Stillwells in L.A. now threatens to take over Reilly's Seattle karate school. The criminals agree to a team fight to decide the fate of the Evergreen State's karate legacy. Team Reilly includes Dean and Frank, with Scott on homoerotic massage duty. The opposition relies upon just one man: Ivan the Evil Russian. He makes short work of Frank and beats the living dipshit out of Dean. Reilly manages to put up a fight, but in a stunning reversal of the Deep Blue computer vs. Kasparov chess match, this time it's the Russian who cheats.
As Ivan chokes Reilly with a chain, Kelly attempts to save her brother by clubbing his attacker with a wooden stool. The Russian grabs her by the party-in-the-back, prompting a furious Jason to burst from the packed crowd and enter the ring to fulfill all of our teenage martial-arts film dreams. I would hate to spoil such an obvious ending, but yes, you know where it goes from here.
No Retreat No Surrender will be remembered as an artifact of pure 1980s cinematic cheese. It's also Jean Claude Van Damme's American film debut, and this is significant; his very next role in 1988's Bloodsport launched him to stardom. It's packed with awful editing, horrible clothing, and hilariously bad dialogue, but it also marked the first genuine attempt by a Hong Kong action director to translate that style in a Western production for American audiences. With the advent of the online video mash-up, NRNS more recently found a new audience as a "Brokeback Mountain"-style trailer. Followed by No Retreat, No Surrender 2: Raging Thunder.

Ukrainian President Poroshenko called off the cease fire last and has been on the offensive ever since last weekend government troops ousted the rebels from Slovyansk and Kramatorsk which had been strongholds for the rebels. The rebels have been blowing up bridges as they make there way back to Donetsk and Luhansk. It is here that it looks like they will fight their final battles.
The Ukrainian Separatists have been for months trying to form a Russian backed separate state in the Ukraine. For some time they did have the backing of Russian President Putin going as far as being brought to Moscow to talk over strategy with their Russian patrons It seems Putin has distanced himself from the rebels
This all started when he former President of Ukraine was going to sign a trade agreement with the European Union. He was basically run out of the country when riots began to break out all over the Ukraine. An interim government took over and would eventually lose the Crimea to the Russians. Putin had claimed that Russian speaking people in the Crimea were being bullied and terrorized. The Russians sent arms and troops into the Crimea. A vote was eventually taken and the Crimea went back to Mother Russia.
President Poroshenko would eventually win the national election and at first wanted a peaceful solution to the problem in the Eastern Ukraine. When a cease fire was called even President Putin suggested the rebels sit down and talk with the government. During the cease fire the Ukrainian Government would sign a trade agreement with the European Union and Russia flexed but never did anything to stop it.
Now it seems the final battles of the conflict seem to be coming. The rebels will be digging in and the government will bring all guns to bear on the last two strongholds. Civilians will be caught in the middle and will pay for it with their lives.
It is now the time for all to come together and put an end to this conflict. The loss of life that could be coming is not worth what they are fighting for. Russia stepped into this conflict and once promised things to the rebels but now seem to not want to back them up. Russia got what they wanted it has the Crimea and all the offshore oil which is worth trillions of dollars. Ukrainians need to put down their arms and become one nation again.

Got a case of the winter blues? Maybe a mild case of cabin fever? The long cold winter months can suck the fun out of just about anyone, but for some it runs much deeper. Every year about 25-30% of the general population suffers from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), with about 10-20% of those feeling only mild symptoms. Although SAD is a form of depression that can occur during any season, winter is by far the most common. People who experience SAD often begin feeling symptoms as early as September, with the spell unbroken until Spring begins to make an appearance sometime around the end of March or beginning of April.
So, just what exactly causes SAD? Experts are not for certain about the exact cause of SAD, but the main suspect is the lack of sunlight. The human body's exposure to sunlight affects many things within, such as the production of Vitamin D. The lack of Vitamin D can contribute to the feelings of low energy and fatigue commonly associated with the disorder. The natural circadian rhythm, and internal rhythm that runs our biological clock, is directly influenced by sunlight. Lack of sunlight can throw off this rhythm and cause disruption of our sleep cycle, which also accounts for the lack of energy and sleepiness.
There are some ways of coping if you are one of the unfortunate sufferers of SAD. The popular method is using light therapy. This form of therapy tends to produce great results for most people, but once started usually needs to be continued until the season changes. If stopped after a short time, the depression has a good chance of returning. There is also the medicated route which involves taking antidepressants to balance the chemicals in the brain affecting your mood, or you can try counseling. Some types of counseling can be beneficial in teaching you how to manage your symptoms.
Being a form of depression, SAD can vary from being a mild condition to a severely debilitating. Common symptoms of SAD are: depression, an overwhelming need for sleep, cravings for carbohydrates, eating far more than normal, and the urge to almost "hibernate". It should be noted that SAD is not seen as a condition in and of itself, but rather a subset of either major depression or bipolar disorders.

Today is probably the apex of the spring for us in terms of names in the box scores, courtesy of the two split-squad games. The "regular" Nats took the home game, 8-2 against the Mets, while the "scrubs" played to a 5-5 tie with the Tigers on the road.
As teased on Twitter, the lament of the lack of offense appears to have been a reverse jinx of sorts in Viera, as the starters put up five runs over the first two innings. Adam LaRoche made his "A" game debut at the plate with a first-inning RBI single to plate Ryan Zimmerman, who doubled in two in second.
Chien-Ming Wang got roughed up for two runs on three hits and a walk over his two innings, but the 'pen locked it down the rest of the way, led by Craig Stammen (3IP, 2H, 0BB, 4K). Atahualpa Severino contributed a scoreless inning, giving up two hits but fanning two.
Tyler Moore and Anthony Rendon connected on back-to-back doubles in the 7th while subbing for LaRoche and Zimmerman. Blake Kelso followed Ian Desmond at shortstop and hit a sacrifice fly, on which leadfooted Sandy Leon was doubled off first. Leon singled twice and scored a run otherwise, catching all nine innings.
Michael Taylor and Randolph Oduber both went 0-for-1 with Taylor drawing a walk in relief of Rick Ankiel and Jayson Werth, respectively.
Meanwhile, in Lakeland, the Nationals and Tigers played to a 10-inning 5-5 tie, with Steve Lombardozzi, Corey Brown, Jhonatan Solano, and Eury Perez getting starts.
John Lannan also got roughed up for two runs over two innings, including a one-out solo shot in the bottom of the first. The relief work here wasn't as stellar, with Rafael Martin blowing a save in the bottom of the 8th after the Nats took a 5-4 lead in the top of the frame.
Here's a rundown of how the minor-leaguers fared:
- Lombardozzi went 0-for-3 while playing 2B
- Brown went 1-for-4 with a HR while playing RF
- Solano went 0-for-2 while playing C
- Perez went 2-for-3 with a BB while playing CF
- Jeff Kobernus singled and scored a run after pinch-running for Lombardozzi
- Destin Hood drew a walk and scored but went 0-for-2 with SO, subbing for Bernadina in LF
- Carlos Rivero went 0-for-2 in relief of Mark Teahen at 3B
In the course of keeping track of the action this afternoon, I was alerted to Andrew Lang's youtube channel, which I encourage folks to visit.

Wang didn't get roughed up. DeRosa booted an inning-ending double play grounder that would have allowed Wang to escape unscathed. A routine ball that Espinosa or Lombardozzi would have undoubtedly eaten up. DeRosa got the out at first so was not charged with an error.
Any thoughts on a Perez callup at some point this year? I know hes in A ball but so far he looks fast and we need a CF/leadoff hitter
I agree with you, Luke, assuming I didn't misunderstand your point. We don't need the players you mentioned, not at the price. I'd be happy with Werth for a year and see where Perez, Taylor, and Goodwin are a year from now. I have a good feeling about at least one of them coming through. Also like the odds of Hood doing well, but, of course, not as a center fielder. Hey, I wouldn't even totally discount Brown.
Overpaying for a cf who also has flaws is not good baseball. The Nats can find serviceable cf for this year and maybe next while waiting for someone to develop. Don't forget that if LaRoche doesn't come back at 100% then Morse goes to first and there is another outfield spot to fill with someone who can fulfill the other needs in the lineup. It's probably going to take the first 40 to 50 games to sort out. Plenty of time for Harper to come up , Morse to find a home, Werth to show what this season will be, and someone or more to show they can help by moving up from AAA. i.e.. Lombardozzi, Brown, Rahl, Johson, etc.
The problem with Werth (and why he was the mistake and Zimmerman wasn't) is the guaranteed length, the huge amount of money, and the no-trade clause. They could have waited to see what Destin Hood et al could do. Instead they went for the right fielder than everyone was clamoring for with Dukes and before him. Perhaps its ownership behaving too much like silly fans?
Signing Werth was supposed to help bring other top free agents to the team. Perhaps it helped bring in EJax and certainly it did for Lidge. But having no bat permanently wedged in right field? Well you might as well stick Dukes back out there.
This is why I strongly support Werth in CF. With Werth in CF (which he appears able to handle) you can put two young impact bats in the corners. If Morse were to move to first (for example) they could put both Bryce Harper and Destin Hood in the corners. But, from what I can discern its not what Davey Johnson wants to do. Seems more likely he is holding first base open for Chris Marerro, Tyler Moore, and in a couple of years or so perhaps Matt Skole (if he develops that would fill a gigantic hole for the Nats).
Let's see how Hood performs at AA before you give him the lf starting job. His 2011 season in High A was good but he did not dominate. He is not as advanced as Harper at this time. Even Harper will be a work in progress this year given his lack of experience. Laroche won't be here after this year unless Morse regresses badly. Lots of questions to answered by the beginning of summer.

All week long, New Orleans Saints interim coach Joe Vitt preached the importance of keeping one's cool in a game that was sure to get chippy. With playoff position on the line and facing a team that had eliminated the Saints from the playoffs last year, Vitt had cautioned the team on staying focused.
For almost four quarters, most of the Saints succeeded. But with the Saints trailing the 49ers late in the game, defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley lost his cool.
Fueled by the emotion of the coming loss and a blocked field goal by the Saints, Bunkley kicked 49ers offensive tackle Alex Boone in the head.
He was promptly hit with an 11-yard personal foul penalty and thrown out of the game.
"One of the keys to this game was keeping your poise," Vitt said. "We block a field goal, we have a chance to give our team some field position. He's got to keep his emotions under control and do the right thing. He practices hard and wants to win. We have great confidence in the player, but he has to keep his poise."

If you haven't had a chance to see Frankenweenie yet, please do. It encompasses all the wonderful things, good writing, good directing, black and white, and stop motion. It's fabulous.
And if my praise isn't enough, you can have an opportunity to peer into the mind of the writer.
Frankenweenie's writer, John August, solicited questions from the Frankenweenie going public on the movie's opening weekend. This week he took the time to answer those questions via Twitter and YouTube.
I can not tell you how much fun this has been to watch. It is so much more authentic and intriguing compared to the interviews and sound bites that come from the movie press junkets. Even if you're not a writer it's well worth ten minutes of your day. But, for maximum awesomeness, go watch the movie first.
