Nice David!

Despite many attempts, the A10s were not able to destroy the tank...:)
You can run (some of) the power directly to the servos, rather than through the gyro itself.
On my iGyro, for two JR8911 elevator servos I separated out the power from the signal, having the power...
I had the same thoughts. On my setup I would have the two servo wires powering the 5 iGyro outputs with a total of 8 servos on them. As I found this unacceptable, For 3 servos I ended up separating...
I like to maiden the plane with the CG a bit forward. Will likely take them off once I'm convinced it's safe to move the CG aft.
Now that's funny! Ever try flying like that? :D
Ok, so first my wife made a lot of fun of me for amputating the legs of my one of my pilots...
So on my next plane I decide to leave the legs on. Now she really can't stop laughing!?!?
Eneloops have been perfect for me.
From my perspective, this is a HOBBY. When flying our TOY planes, everyone knows and fully accepts that there is always a risk that some damage occurs in an accident through ones own fault or...
I think the lessons learned are as follows:
1) At an event where every pilot flies with a spotter, pilots should stay at their flight station until their plane is safely off the runway (i.e. onto...
Thanks Jetpilot. Indeed I may go to a small header tank approach as it I wouldn't want a pleated paper clunk to be "eaten up" by the smoke oil.
Nice video!
Thanks Marc. I'm using your CAT in the plane already (SM 1/6 F-16) and am a big fan! Beautifully engineered product.
Anyone using a pleated paper clunk in a smoke oil tank? I'm thinking of doing so to not get intermittent smoke when the tank is still 1/3 full. Is there anything against using the paper in smoke oil?
Hi Gonzalo,
Thanks so much to the Woodland/Davis Aeromodelers for organizing this. This was one HOT event... :-) On my way back through Vacaville, it was 111F... [:@]
Had fun. Hope to be...
Tam, no need to "leave". You can always reduce the time spent here. Look at my stats... I joined RCU in 2006 and am up to post 67 already... :)
This hobby is full of small "enthusiast" companies trying to make a living selling small often innovative products. If we expect them to replace the entire plane when their part has a defect, they'll...
Looking to buy an X-ray machine. Anyone know any good manufacturers? Should I take the machine apart before using it to ensure the design/built is trustworthy?
Nice to see this thread revived! Now let's see if my pics show up. :eek:
That's my interpretation of the message also. One of the key things about true engineers is an attitude that any design can always be further improved towards better quality, lower cost, reliability,...
From my perspective, it doesn't matter so much where the jet is built. Many great products are built/assembled in China, Taiwan, etc.
To me, it's clear that this is a design related problem more...
Thanks Dave! Much appreciated!
As I'm not getting a response from JetCat in the Direct Support Forum, I'm re-posting here hoping for better luck.

Hey guys,
been looking through the forums but didn't find any answers to this one. (or i'm just a numbskull.)
I have a website with a blog.... we installed it after the site was up... and put it in /blog
I want to make my blog's homepage as my sites homepage (for seo purposes and just because we had a "squeeze" page as the homepage collecting emails - google doesn't really like those pages anymore)
If we went into the server and moved everything, they would totally mess up all the blog's links... rankings... etc.
went into the settings > general... it shows both urls as .com/blog
I changed the 2nd link to .com but it kept doing a redirect afterwards and wasn't working, so i suspect that option is out.
I heard about something called a 301 redirect.
What do you guys suggest doing?

Paul Allen: A Carny, Not a Carnegie
I meant to get something up about this yesterday: So Paul Allen, according to a front-page story in the Seattle Times on Tuesday, is going to put his collection of art on display at EMPyou remember EMP, right? It's the Experience Music Project, a museum and interactive something-or-other dedicated to rock and roll. The place was kind of a bust, though, and so a couple of years ago Allen crammed The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in the building too. So now Allen is apparently opening a gallery in EMP's space too, one that will display paintings he owns by Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cezanne, de Kooning, and on and on and on.
Why EMP? "We saw no better place to put it than a populist institution like EMP," said the museum's spokesman, Christian-Philippe Quilici. "We see it evolving into an all-inclusive cultural shrine."
That's funny, Christian. Anyone who isn't drawing a paycheck from Paul Allen sees EMP as a joke.
I'd like to make a bet: Within a week of Paul Allen's death, the building that houses EMP will be a Taco Time. The buildingdesigned by Frank Gehry, at a construction cost of $100 millionabuts the "Fun Forest," that lonely, cosmically depressing, and always empty amusement park. (Megan Seling wrote up the Fun Forest in a recent feature). EMP didn't quite work, so we got The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame. That didn't quite work either, and addition of big-name art might justify the building's existence for a little while longerand it might fill the placebut it's still a bad fit. The space is destined to be a fast-food outlet.
It's a shame that Allen, a man who clearly wants to leave a mark on this city, has such terrible instincts and/or gets such bad advice.
Hey, Paul: Think less like a carny and more like a Carnegie. That new downtown public library everyone loves? You could have paid for that with your walking around money, and it would be forever known as the Allen Libraryyou would be remembered, just like Andrew Carnegie is remembered for building Carnegie Hall in New York City. Remember Commons I & II? You bought up properties in and around a proposed public park in South Lake Union. You offered to donate millions of dollars worth of property to the proposed park, and few more millions to an endowment for policing the park. In other words, you offered what amounts to chump change for a man like you.
You wanted the citizens of Seattle to pick up most of the tab for the Commonsa quarter of a billion dollars. There were two votes on the tax package that would have built the Commons. During one of the Commons campaigns, you made a billion dollar profit during a stock rally in one afternoon! If you had made a gift of 1/4 of that day's take to the city, there wouldn't have been a need for a public vote. The Commons would have been built and it would have been called Allen Park, and your condos and office buildings going up in South Lake Union would be worth more, and the city would have a large park in its heart, and like Andrew Carnegie, you would be remembered.
But nope. You couldn't do the right thing. You couldn't pay for it yourself. You couldn't make a gift to the city. You couldn't see that insisting that average folks tax themselves to pay for 90% of a park that would both enhance the city and enhance the value of an insanely rich billionaires real estate portfolio just might create a little class resentment and a backlash in the voting booth. And none of your advisors could see it either. So the Commons went downtwice.
So what have you created, Paul? How will you be remembered? Bill Gates is angling to be remembered for wiping out malaria. That's coolif he succeeds, Gates will be remembered right alongside Jonas Salk. But you? You'll be remembered, if you're remembered at all, as Seattle's richest at-risk adolescent, and the EMP/Science Fiction Museum/Bellagio Casino will be gone and forgotten before your body is cold.

hard to take your post seriously as you say it compares to an ipad. how so? as a reader? pretty much all of the comments i read say that to compare it to a 9.7" screen ipad and its $500 price tag is unfair (to the fire), for obvious reasons. and yet, after owning the fire for less than a day, you compare it favorably to your ipad 2 and your hp touchpad. guess we just have to take your word for it, but it's an awfully interesting take.

One of the coolest things shown at MIX08 was Deep Zoom. Deep Zoom is a technology that came from a technology originally called Seadragon. The demo that was shown at MIX08 was by Hard Rock Cafe. They have a huge collection of memorabilia so they built a Silverlight application made of a montage of 512 images (various pixel dimensions) and you can zoom in and out on them. Very neat.
Try it out at the HardRock Memorabilia site.
Another example built by one of our guys, Joe Stegman, is a version of the Silverlight v2 poster. Easy to move in and out and pan around the image.
To learn more about Deep Zoom I'd recommend a couple of blog posts. First I appreciated Scott Hanselman's post. The second, and where you can grab the tooling is the Expression Team Blog. User guide is there too.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
What's Inside? Decoding Product Labels
Personal Care Products continued...
The FDA requires that makers of cosmetics and personal care products list all ingredients on the package label. Ingredients must be listed in descending order according to their amounts, in general.
But as Rebecca Sutton, PhD, senior scientist with the nonprofit Environmental Working Group points out, "labels rarely list all the ingredients inside."
The most common example: seemingly simple ingredients like "fragrance" or "flavor" can actually contain hundreds of different chemicals, Sutton tells WebMD. The FDA agrees with companies that listing all the ingredients would be unreasonable, says Sutton, so they aren't required to.
This "fragrance mystery" regularly stymies dermatologists and their patients, says Leon Kircik, MD, a dermatologist and spokesman for the American Association of Dermatology. "The fragrance is often what people are allergic to, and it can be extremely hard to identify the exact ingredient," he says.
Manufacturers can also get exemptions from labeling law for trade secrets, in which case a chemical will only be listed as "…and other ingredients," Sutton adds.
Skin Deep at cosmeticsdatabase.com is a safety guide to cosmetics and personal care products from researchers at the Environmental Working Group. Skin Deep pairs ingredients in more than 41,000 products against 50 toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind. Just enter a product name or ingredient to find out if there are any known toxic effects.
Household Cleaners
While it may be hard to find out what's in your body spray, discovering the ingredients in most cleaning products is nearly impossible. Some companies do list all ingredients on their product labels. But for others, what are gray areas in the labels on personal care products turn into black holes here.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission regulates labeling for most hazardous household products. This includes cleaners, car wax, battery acid, drain opener, and the like.
These products are required to list their main ingredients that are known to be hazardous; and what not to do (e.g., don't spray in eyes), along with first aid information. But other ingredients need not be listed.

Picture: Disney actress Brenda Song seen out shopping in Beverly Hills Los Angeles, California - 11.07.12
Hollywood has found a new, lucrative market for its motion pictures European television stations. Today's (Wednesday) Hollywood Reporter provides details of a new report, Imported Feature Films on European TV, which lists the largest sellers (by hours) as, in order Warner Bros., Universal, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and Sony. Those studios, the report indicated, accounted "for 71 percent of the revenues generated from imported feature films in 2011." Warner Bros. alone grossed $769.4 million from TV outlets in 21 European territories, while second-place Universal grabbed $491.5 million. Germany was the biggest buyer, the report observed, spending $1 billion on Hollywood movies. Italy came in second with $711 million.

Virgin deal lifts runway hopes, but Qantas could keep it grounded
- From: The Courier-Mail
- June 20, 2013
THE deal struck between Brisbane Airport Corporation and Virgin Australia is cause for optimism, but not yet celebration.
Just as so many interstate passengers en route to Brisbane discover when they reach the Gold Coast and begin circling, this journey still has a long way to go.
The Courier-Mail launched its #Bnelateagain campaign three months ago with two clear aims: Firstly, to demand action by BAC to find immediate short-term solutions to the flight congestion problems which had made it one of the country's worst airports for on-time performance; and, secondly, to secure a commitment to completing the desperately-needed new parallel runway without delay by the 2020 target date.
There have been clear improvements on the first count and a solid strategy drawn up by BAC and Airservices Australia which should bring greater efficiency and reduce delays further over the coming months.
Yesterday's announcement does not mean the crucial new runway will be built any sooner. It does not even guarantee that it will be built. But it does make it much more likely.
BAC says it needs all airlines to agree to pre-fund a quarter of the $1.3 billion cost through increased landing fees. The deal with Virgin now leaves the Qantas group as the lone major point of resistance and, accounting for about half of all flights through Brisbane, it remains a formidable hurdle.
But BAC's negotiating power is now considerably stronger, as is its case should it decide to take the issue to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. And Qantas now risks being viewed by the public as the obstacle to progress in delivering this critical infrastructure to a state heavily reliant on tourism for its economic well-being.
By negotiating a 10-year agreement, rather than the traditional five-years, BAC has gone some way towards defusing the ''pre-funding'' argument and spreading the cost to minimise any impact on fares.
It's time now for all parties to find a solution and ensure the timely delivery of the new runway. The airport needs it, the airlines need and most, importantly, the flying public needs it.

Best 18th-Century Inns: 7 Runners-Up
When you travel many hundreds of miles in search of the best old inns in New England, it's hard to narrow the list down to only ten. Here's our list of the seven runners-up.
Blue Skye Farm
Waldoboro, Maine
In this gem of a house, the two-story central stairwell is patterned in a green-and-red pineapple design, said to be stenciled in the early 1800s by Moses Eaton. The entire remaining interior is painted white, unexpectedly highlighting the 18th-century paneling.
"We had the luxury of living in empty rooms for four months, waiting for our furniture to come from England," Jan Davidson explains. "I loved the glow of the light on walls and realized that I didn't want these rooms to be busy. I wanted to create a restful, peaceful place in which people would look out the window and see the marsh." Small-paned windows are thinly veiled in European-style lace café curtains.
Peter and Jan Davidson spent a year restoring the house, which dates from 1775 and is set in 100 acres of marshland, meadows, and woods. Original detailing includes Indian shutters and a scalloped cupboard as well as paneling and mantels. Rooms (including five guestrooms) are tastefully, comfortably furnished in antiques, and tempting, well-thumbed books line the walls in between.
On an unseasonably cold September night, my room quickly warmed when I raised the thermostat; there was no need to light the hearth, one of the house's four working fireplaces. It was one of the inn's three large, square guestrooms; a smaller downstairs guestroom overlooks the marsh, and a room tucked under the eaves includes a child's sleeping loft as well as two double beds.
Guests have access to the inn's kitchen, except in the morning, when Jan arrives early to create a full breakfast. She can also prepare a candlelight lobster dinner, especially popular when the house is reserved by a group of friends — a frequent occurrence in winter, when guests tend to come from nearby Portland or Boston for a weekend of hiking or cross-country skiing. "This house hums in winter, when all the fireplaces are lit," Jan notes.
1708 Friendship Road, Waldoboro, ME; 207-832-0300; blueskyefarm.com
$95-$165, including full breakfast
Pilgrim's Inn
Deer Isle, Maine
Maine's only full-service inn to retain its 18th-century detailing and character also happens to be one of the state's most pleasant three-season places to stay and to dine (closed November through April). Four floors high, hip-roofed and painted oxblood red, Pilgrim's Inn is on the water, both front and back.
No longer technically an island, Deer Isle is linked to the Blue Hill peninsula by a half-mile-long vintage suspension bridge and to Little Deer Isle by a winding causeway. Deer Isle Village is a 40-minute ride south of Route 1. The local landscape features an intermingling of land and water that is heart-stoppingly beautiful in spring, summer, and fall.
Late in the 18th century, Ignatius Haskell sailed to Deer Isle from Newburyport to take advantage of the island's ready supply of lumber; there he built a sawmill and a gristmill. According to innkeeper Tina Oddleifson, by 1793 he was wealthy enough to build this expansive home to house his wife and nine children. In 1889, another Haskell ("Lizzie") turned the house into an inn named "The Ark." It accommodated summer guests who had begun arriving by steamer from Boston, Portland, and Rockland.
Pilgrim's Inn has been lucky in its subsequent owners. Its wide pumpkin-pine floorboards and eight-foot-wide original fireplaces in the common and tap rooms survive, along with original hardware in most guestrooms and working hearths and paneling in the game room and library. In our room (#4), tasteful but unfussy furnishings, and a view of the millpond, underscored the 18th-century feel of the space. On the other hand, after a long day's drive, the 21st-century jetted tub was terrific — likewise the bracing shower next morning.
Co-owner Tony Lawless, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, maintains a reliable quality of dining at the Whale's Rib Tavern, the inn's restaurant. Guests must reserve in advance for dinner, given its popularity among local residents. We feasted with friends on Deer Isle clams steamed in beer and on locally raised mussels in a butter-and-cream sauce with roasted garlic and fried leeks, mopped up with freshly baked breads; a seafood stew of mahogany clams and calamari, plus a half lobster, followed. The restaurant, also the scene of made-to-order breakfast, is housed in a many-windowed old barn with nicely spaced white-clothed tables. Along with a small bar and the original kitchen — now an inviting common room — the restaurant is on the garden level, below the inn proper.
20 Main St., Deer Isle, ME; 888-778-7505, 207-348-6615; pilgrimsinn.com
$109-$259, including full breakfast
The Englishman's Bed & Breakfast
Cherryfield, Maine
Cherryfield is way Down East, an hour's drive beyond the Route 1 turn-off for Bar Harbor, best known for wild blueberries. It's not a place you'd expect to find either an Englishman or a four-square, cream-colored, olive-trimmed mansion built in 1793. Happily, however, Peter and Kathy Winham welcome guests year-round to their handsome home by the Narraguagus River. The hearths are no longer used, but Peter assures us that "fake flames keep the guestrooms cozy." No ghosts here, but you'll find plenty of books and DVDs.

LinuxWorld Expo UK 2005
The 2005 LinuxWorld UK Expo was another great success for the growing LinuxWorld franchise.
The second annual LinuxWorld UK Expo was held at London's Kensington Olympia Conference and Exhibition Center on October 5-6, 2005. Over 70 exhibitors demonstrated their latest products and services. Among those in attendance were the usual industry mainstays – IBM, Novell and Sun – as well as many media outlets (including Linux Magazine) and an eclectic mixture of community groups forming a ".org village." In addition to the regular crowd of Linux-centric companies, it was pleasing to see a number of newcomers to the show – both on the large and small end.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 8:35 PM GMT on July 12, 2006
A tropical wave over Barbados has fallen apart this afternoon after briefly organizing this morning. Strong upper-level winds from the west have disrupted the heavy thunderstorm activity that had built to the east of the system. This wind shear was analyzed at about 20 knots at 2pm EDT by the University of Wisconsin CIMSS wind shear page.
The system is moving west at 15-20 mph, and brought wind gusts of 28 mph Barbados this afternoon. St. Lucia will get some gusty winds tonight. Rainfall in these islands will be spotty, since there is very little thunderstorm activity remaining. Thunderstorm activity could re-build tonight or Thursday morning, but the presence of high wind shear to the north and west will likely keep this system from ever developing into a tropical depression.
Figure 1. Latest satellite image of the tropical wave moving through the Lesser Antilles Islands.
Figure 2. Model forecast tracks for the tropical wave moving through the Lesser Antilles Islands.
The rest of the tropical Atlantic is quiet. A tropical wave is pushing ashore into South Florida, and will bring heavy rains there. An upper-level low is spinning over the central Gulf of Mexico, but this low is not expected to develop, due to high wind shear. None of the major computer models are forecasting any tropical storm formation in the Atlantic for the next six days. Wind shear is forecast to remain high over most of the tropical Atlantic this week, then gradually decrease for the remainder of the month.

Man rescued after truck lands in riverFebruary 26,2013
ST. ALBANS Vermont State Police say a St. Albans man has been rescued from the Missisquoi River after he lost control of his truck and went over an embankment.
Police said 22-year-old Colby Vezina was driving a pickup truck down a wet and slightly snow-covered road early Sunday when he lost control of the vehicle in Sheldon. Police said the truck landed upside down, partly under water in the river.
Police said a homeowner who lives near the crash site quickly called 911 for help. First responders from Sheldon and Enosburg quickly arrived and pulled him from the river.
Police said Vezina suffered relatively minor hypothermia. They say it appears alcohol and speed contributed to the crash.MORE IN Vermont NewsCLEVELAND In an appeal to anxious voters, Donald Trump pledged Thursday night that safety will...

BYU football: Cougar seniors see a new Bronco
Stuart Johnson, Deseret News
PROVO — Since becoming BYU's head coach on Dec. 13, 2004, Bronco Mendenhall has experienced a transformation, just like the program he oversees.
Nobody knows that better than his seniors, several of whom have been with Mendenhall from the time he took the reins of the Cougar football program. Many of the seniors who will finish up their collegiate careers on Dec. 22 against Oregon State in the Las Vegas Bowl (6 p.m., ESPN) have witnessed the changes in Mendenhall first-hand.
Their college football careers have paralleled Mendenhall's head coaching career — they've gone through trials and triumphs, and the coach and the players have grown together.
Defensive lineman Brett Denney remembers being in high school when his older brother, John, played for the Cougars. Mendenhall had just arrived to serve as BYU's new defensive coordinator in the winter of 2003. Brett Denney heard horror stories of 6 a.m. practices outside in the bitter cold.
"Coach Mendenhall was working people to death with all that crazy stuff he was doing," Denney recalled. "My brother Ryan (another former Cougar) said, 'He's going to be great for the program. I'm glad he's not my coach, but he's going to be great for the program.' I came to BYU that fall and I remember coach Mendenhall was very involved, and very intense, in the weight room. A lift with coach Mendenhall hovering over you and a lift without him hovering over you was very different."
Defensive lineman Jan Jorgensen, who redshirted during Mendenhall's first campaign as head coach, said, "even into my freshman year, people were scared to death to have a conversation with him. They were scared to approach him. If you made a joke to him, you just didn't do that."
But, the seniors say, Mendenhall is not that way anymore.
"Now, it's completely different," Jorgensen said. "He's much more approachable. He's the one that comes up to you and makes jokes. He's loosened up, been able to relax a little bit and have fun with us a lot more."
"He's definitely changed as a head coach — changed a lot, actually," said tight end Andrew George, a fifth-year senior who also redshirted in 2005. "He's not as serious off-the-field, especially around us. I've really grown to love him as a coach."
Defensive lineman Russell Tialavea was part of Mendenhall's first class of recruits in 2005. "My personal relationship with him has changed. He's practically like another dad to me," said Tialavea, who is leaving for a mission in two weeks. "He's watched over me, helped me through a lot of different situations. His main purpose is to help us in our spiritual lives. He's excited for me to go on a mission."
Practice sessions are not the same as they used to be, said linebacker Matt Bauman.
"Early on in his career, coach Mendenhall was very intense. He was in-your-face, hard-core. Our practices were so much harder and more physical and guys were getting hurt and beat down. He learned from that, in order to keep guys healthy. He's more mature, understanding the dynamics of a team. Behind the scenes, you can tell how much he loves us and how much he loves the game, how much he loves developing players, and he also loves winning."
Going into the 2005 campaign, Mendenhall inherited a program mired in the throes of three straight losing seasons.
"When he became the head coach, it was a team that was undisciplined, that did its own thing. He came in and ran a tight ship," Jorgensen said. "He had to make sure that the culture of the team changed into a team that did everything right. He made sure we were held accountable for everything and that we were working as hard as possible."

Washington, February 27: The Justice department has revealed that Laura Pendergest-Holt, the chief investment officer of the Houston based Stanford Financial Group, was detained by the FBI and charged with obstructing an inquiry into the suspected $8 billion financial scam.
Washington, February 26: Bernard Madoff seems to have become the role model for quite a number of people as the frauds on the Wall Street become all too familiar. The federal authorities held two more money managers who allegedly ran a $550 million securities-fraud scheme. A la mini Madoff!
Antigua, February 21: Taking a tough stance on the alleged $8 billion fraud involving certificates of deposit issued by Antigua-based Stanford International Bank (SIB), the watchdog seized Stanford's banks and companies in Antigua and Barbuda.
Texas, February 18: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged billionaire R. Allen Stanford, the chairman of Houston-based investment firm Stanford Group and three other companies of whom he was in charge, with carrying out a 'massive, ongoing fraud'.
New York, February 12: Ruth Madoff, wife of the traitor Bernard Madoff took out $15.5 million just prior to her husbands arrest on December 11, 2008. $10 million were withdrawn a day before the arrest while $5.5 million were withdrawn in late November, US prosecutors say.
New York, February 8: The list of clients duped by the Bernard Madoff's ponzi scheme is a pretty long one and transcends geographical boundaries too.
Washington, February 5: Tardy, inexperienced and lacking dexterity is what can be said of the SEC officials when one listens to what Harry Markopolos has to say. Markopolos, an investment manager, had tried since the year 2000 to wake up the regulators by tipping them off about a possible fraud in the Bernard Madoff ponzi scheme.

The mail with the credentials contained this text as the last sentence:
"To view your bookings, please visit attending/ after logging in."
After some changes and tests with the above-mentioned setting at true & false; and having a look at the EM settings,
mails with credentials now contain a valid link in the last sentence, like this one:
To view your bookings, please visit http://attentie.com/evenementen-2/my-bookings/ after logging in.

Another late night experiment! I thought it might be fun to try and redesign the default Wordpress admin UI by flattening it out a bit and simplifying the writing area.
Still unfinished and missing some functionality but it was fun nonetheless :)

Itagaki's team using modified version of Relic's engine for Devil's Third
Valhalla Games Studios head Tomonobu Itagaki has said the firm will use a customized version of Relic's game engine with Devil's Third, and adding its own choice of middleware.
"We're customizing Relic's engine," Itagaki told Gamasutra in an interview, adding that the ability to use and modify an existing game engine wasn't the reason the studio chose to work with THQ.
Itagaki also confirmed to Gamasutra that CEO Danny Bilson is working on the game's narrative sequences, based on a story created by Itagaki and the development team.
He went on to say working with THQ has been rather easy for his staff as well, thanks to the publisher having a large Japanese staff via Yuke, which is working on the WWE franchise.
"THQ, since they're making games with Yuke's, they have a lot of people who speak Japanese," he said. "Since I speak simple English, I can convey my message. But my staff is probably quite relieved, because THQ has Japanese-enabled people."
Devil's Third will be released on PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360.

Skip to comments.TV presenter 'groped' by Schwarzenegger may sue
Posted on 10/04/2003 2:21:52 PM PDT by John Jorsett
California election: Three more women come forward to add to tide of harassment allegations against actor-turned-politician
The British television presenter who alleges she was sexually harassed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in a London hotel is threatening to sue him for libel over his claim that she invented the incident.
Close friends of Anna Richardson say she is furious that Schwarzenegger aides, in attempting to shore up his support ahead of Tuesday's recall election for California governor, briefed against her. The movie star's spin-doctors claimed that, far from having her breasts groped against her will, Ms Richardson invited him to examine them.
Ms Richardson's threat came as three more women stepped forward to add to the tide of sexual allegations facing Mr Schwarzenegger.
A former intern at CNN, Collette Brooks, told reporters that he groped her buttocks and told her she had "a nice ass" while she was showing him around a studio 25 years ago. In another incident, an assistant director on his 1988 film Twins claimed he had regularly undressed in front of her in his trailer, while Carla Baron, a stand-in on the same movie set, said he had sandwiched her between himself and a crew member and forced his tongue into her mouth.
Mr Schwarzenegger is also accused of being a Nazi sympathiser after the emergence of an old interview transcript in which he appeared to praise Hitler - an allegation he immediately denied, stating that his quotes had been taken out of context.
Ms Richardson has alleged that Mr Schwarzenegger grabbed her and pulled her on to his knee before squeezing her nipple while she interviewed him for an LWT film show, The Big Screen, at the Dorchester hotel in London in December 2000.
The claims by the 32-year-old vicar's daughter were originally published in The Sun shortly after the alleged incident. They resurfaced last week when the Los Angeles Times detailed a series of similar complaints by five other women about the star's past indiscretions.
While he was quick to admit to having "behaved badly" towards some women in the past, his campaign managers denied these included Ms Richardson. Sheryl Main, a Hollywood publicist who was with the actor during Ms Richardson's interview with him, insisted the presenter approached him, cupped her right breast and said: "What do you think of these?"
Ms Richardson has told friends that she may sue Mr Schwarzenegger and/or his aides for accusing her of lying.
Since her allegations re-emerged on Thursday, the glamorous but, until now, little-known presenter has been bombarded with interview requests from media outlets around the world. Currently on holiday with her partner, Ms Richardson is understood to have been negotiating to sell her story to a British tabloid.
A source close to Ms Richardson said it was now "a possibility" she would sue Mr Schwarzenegger over his denial of her claims, adding: "Comments in the LA Times have basically libelled Anna."
In her original interview with The Sun about the alleged incident, she said: "He kept saying how fantastic I looked and staring at my boobs. When I went to shake his hand he pulled me on to his knee, saying, 'I really want to know if your breasts are real.' I told him they are an F-cup. Before I knew what was happening he circled my nipple with his finger and gave it a squeeze. He then said, 'Yeah, they are real.' I stood up and said, 'You're making me nervous.'
"He told me not to be nervous and pulled me back on his knee. I said, 'Can I go, please?' He said, 'Yeah', and patted my bum as I went off."
At the time, his spokesman said, "I don't know anything about this particular incident but Arnie is a big flirt, as is Anna. Most presenters know how to handle him and understand he's just flirting."
As the latest, potentially damaging, allegations were made public, there were some signs of an upturn in Mr Schwarzenegger's fortunes on the campaign trail itself. With the actor barnstorming his way across the state on the so-called California Comeback Express, his supporters rallied to his defence.
Lynn Harwood-Campbell, a true-blue Republican with two sons in the military, was typical of the doting fans he encountered on Friday. After waiting for two hours with a gaggle of girlfriends in the sizzling heat of California's Central Valley to catch a glimpse of her idol, she told reporters: "He can grope me any time. What would you prefer, a cigar with Bill Clinton, or a grope with Arnold Schwarzenegger?"
Others tried to turn the guns on Gray Davis, the incumbent Democrat governor whom the actor is trying to unseat. One roadside sign read: "Gray Davis groped me when he reached into my wallet."
FreeRepublic , LLC
It is in the breaking news sidebar!
Sparky, Clinton was doing his cr@p while he was a sitting President. Arnold was an actor. Try to keep that in mind. It's apples and oranges.
That's British for a DD-cup, I think.
And then???
"Gray Davis groped me when he reached into my wallet."
YES! Pictures! Please dear Goodness...PICTURES...NOW!
Or do I have to go to a "boobies" link on fark.com...?
Sure sounds like it --- for one --- what kind of woman is going to answer a man who asks her her bra size with "I'm an F cup" if she's not leading him on to do more?
So then it was just fine to have Arnolds hands all over her. She asked for it then right?
I'm surprised they didn't also call her a virgin and a healer of the lame.
Not really. Remember--- Clinton would have had his pants out and his little thing out asking the woman to kiss it. Arnold slapped a couple butts of woman who were flirting with him and a woman stupid enough to tell him her bra size got exactly what she was bargaining for. No woman is stupid enough not to realize that if asked her bra size she should answer unless she wants things to proceed.
You won't Spell the word God in your tag but post this? We need some women who like when men grab their asses? (Bangs head on Keyboard)
BTW, she can be found on a lot of nude sites.
I remember when I was a little steveo, getting in trouble for getting an 'F'. Same thing would happen today I guess.
There are nude sites on line? Can anyone tell me how to disable parental control?
Just as pathetic as defending this low-life liberal. How can you excuse this behavior? Because he apologized? Geeze.
Say what you want about charachter, but untill we get about dozen or so women who claim to have been raped or attemted rape by Arnold there is NO comparison to Clinton
And what if he was? He was a great looking guy having a good time in Hollywood. I bet he had a 95% "hit rate." And if he got a little carried away 25 years ago, I don't see the big deal as long as he did understand that "no means no" and didn't force himself on anyone. No one has alleged that he has, and every rock is being unturned by the Dem-bots.
Unlike many politicians, Arnold didn't use the threat of his position to badger for sex. Clinton and his Arkansas State Police procurers come to mind.

Another Former Reporter Sues the Post
He was "routinely humiliated" and the target of "Jim Crow"-style segregation.
Austin Fenner, a former reporter for the New York Post, lost his job at the paper back on November 10th, the same day that Sandra Guzman filed a lawsuit calling the Post's newsroom "a hostile work environment where female employees and employees of color have been subjected to pervasive and systemic discrimination and/or unlawful harassment based on their gender, race, color and/or national origin." Now Fenner has come forward with a lawsuit of his own.
Fenner, who is black, says he was "routinely humiliated," "openly cursed at" and the target of "Jim Crow"-style segregation at the Post. He cites his opposition to the paper's infamous cartoon of cops shooting a chimp as part of the reason for his mistreatment. He also accuses the Post of racially motivated news coverage. A spokesperson for the paper denied the allegations, calling them "totally false" and "completely baseless." This doesn't look good for Rupert and friends.

Andrews Osborne Academyĺs decision to close its Equestrian Center has been met with strong opposition.
On May 13, the Willoughby school's Board of Directors voted to close the facility which has been an important part of the history of AOA and The Andrews School.
According to a letter written to AOA parents by Charles Roman, the Head of School, the main reason for closing the facility was because ôoperations of the Equestrian Center have impacted the operating budget, not only this year, but in previous years even when it was operated as an Andrews School Facility.öá
Attempts to balance the facilityĺs budget from hiring experienced directors to evaluating plans to increase revenue have failed, according to the letter.
The Board cited several reasons for the closing including:
n In the 2013-14 school year, the facility will incur a cash loss of approximately $278,000. During the month of April alone, the loss was $37,000.
n In the past six years, the cash loss for the facility totaled $1,600,000.
n Of the 373 students enrolled at AOA, 28 ride at the facility.á
n Of the 373 students enrolled, three boarding students enrolled because of the center.
n ôDuring the first five years as Andrews Osborne Academy, enrollment increased by 30 percent. The increase in enrollment and tuition of the school was offset by losses at the Equestrian Center.ö With enrollment stabilized, losses at the center can no longer be supported. ôThe financial condition of the school remains healthy, but endowment cannot be used to offset cash losses of the center.ö
According to the Board, it studied various ways to keep the center open which included leasing the facility. After a review of the proposal, the board voted it down.
A press release dated May 16 indicated the Equestrian Center would close at the end of the 2013-14 school year. In its place, a new indoor athletic facility will be built. Plans include developing indoor fields for the use of soccer, lacrosse, baseball and more. á
Ashleigh Anderson, whose daughter Lindsay Anderson is a junior at AOA, is disappointed the Equestrian Center will be closing. Her daughter transferred from Montessori High School at University Circle to AOA to enroll in the equestrian program. Now that the center is closing, Anderson is undecided on whether her daughter will continue to attend AOA or transfer to another school.
ôThe Equestrian Center means everything to us,ö she said. ôIt was the reason we moved áLindsay from an ivy program to the Andrews program. For her to have to be looking at colleges and high schools at the same time is not something we anticipated. Itĺs an incredible hardship on our family.ö
Anne Hedge, a 1995 Andrews School graduate who owns White Hedge Farm in Aubrey, Texas, was planning to send her 10-year old daughter Macy to high school at AOA. With the recent development of the closing of the center, she has changed her mind.
ôSeveral plans to save the center have been presented to the board, but they have refused to listen to any of our plans,ö Hedge said. ôThey basically didnĺt give us any warning. A lot of people in the equestrian community would have been willing to help. Now we just feel like theyĺve made their minds up and it doesnĺt matter what we do. It seems like there is more to the story than the school is letting on.ö á
Hedge started an online petition which totaled 1,179 supporters as of June 3.
In a post written by Rachel Kinney of Durango, Colorado, she stated that as a boarding student, the barn at AOA was her home away from home.
ôThe life lessons I learned while attending school there during my high school years are invaluable to me,ö she wrote. ôThe barn taught me responsibility and time management that has benefitted me in college and now in my professional life.ö
Maureen Blackstone, a 2005 Andrews graduate, was a four-year member of the varsity equestrian team. While she was in the program, Equestrian Director Roxane Lawrence founded the Interscholastic Equestrian Association which has expanded to a national program.
ôIf alumni would have known this facility was closing, we would have rallied and done anything we could to keep the doors open,ö said Blackstone, a Pepper Pike resident who owns a horse. ôThis was just sprung on us and we were not given enough time to respond.ö
In his letter announcing the closing, Roman said the decision was one of the most difficult the board has made.
ôThe Board strongly believes, however, converting the facility enhances our goal of providing broader opportunities for more students to participate in athletic activities as well as attract new students to AOA,ö Roman said. ôWe look forward to making this improvement on campus and to our commitment to providing the best environment for all of our students.ö
Those interested can sign the online petition.

I wish they had these readily available in the store! These bags are wonderful quality, sturdy yet not overpowering. I am using them to package items I sell at a craft show. They are the exact perfect size to fit my item and staple a paper hanger at the top! They'd be great as party favor bags with ribbon or raffia ties at the top. I am going to use them at Halloween as well for what the label says they are intended for...PRETZELS!! Dipping them in orange chocolate and sprinkles!! Can't wait!!
These bags are 3" x 10" so they hold a lot of treats. I actually use them to package my bottle gift tags. They came exactly the way they were supposed to and are just what i needed.
I haven't used yet but plan to make little treat bags for a sweet table. However it's the right size I was looking for. Not too big, not too small.
Exactly as described. Using them for dipped pretzel rods and they're perfect.
These are very nice bags. However, them being described as "pretzel" bags led me to believe they were for chocolate dipped pretzel rods. Admittedly, I should have paid better attention to the size being 3" wide. These easily fit 2 dipped pretzels that are rolled in toppings or 3 regular dipped pretzel rods.
These bags are the perfect size for the big pretzels.
Work fine
This is exactly what I wanted for goodies as Christmas gifts. Speedy delivery as well!
I run a business and use these very frequently to hold custom-wrapped Hershey bars. They're the perfect size and are very durable. I just wish they were available in stores. I hate having to order online and pay shipping for something I use so much. This isn't even available for free site to store shipping, unfortunately. If I could find another supplier, I would, but otherwise this is a great product.
I purchased these bags to fill with candy for a recent family celebration. They are durable and cost effective. I would recommend them for a variety of crafting uses.
I bought these bags to make "Spa" bags of bath salts and rose shaped soap petals. It worked perfect for what I needed.
Love these bags!

According to a 2003 United Nations report into human development in the Arab world, more books are translated into Spanish each year - 10,000 - than have been translated into Arabic in the previous 10 centuries. Now this situation is being rectified by the sheikhdom of Abu Dhabi, one of the seven Muslim United Arab Emirates, which last month officially revealed its plans to translate 100 epochal foreign-language texts into Arabic by the end of next year.
Among the first to be translated: Stephen Hawking, Jurgan Habermas, Umberto Eco, and Murakami. Right now, translators are hunched over desks, working on volumes by Milton, Galileo, and co-decipherer of DNA, James D. Watson.

Over the last three years, it has been possible to catch the "Chewing Gum Man" at work somewhere in London, crouched on a pavement. From a distance, he could be homeless or a drunk - his coat is spattered with paint - but as you near, you see that he is painting in enamels, with great delicacy, a picture on the discarded gum that litters urban pavements.
Arrested and charged with criminal damage in front of a crowd of horrified tourists, he ended up being punched and dragged across a police cell.
England's got issues:
Absurd recent examples of how far these [policing] powers stretch include a drunken Oxford student who said a police horse was gay and ended up with an £80 fixed-penalty fine. And the penalty fines handed to wearers of a "Bollocks to Blair" T-shirt. The most egregious instance of this new civic conformity was Tony Blair's measure to ban political protests within a mile of Westminster.
Back to the artist:
Once at the station, he was told they wanted a DNA sample, which under a 2004 amendment, the police are entitled to take from everyone accused of a recordable offence. Even if the person is never convicted, or even charged, the DNA sits in a national database until they die, or their hundredth birthday. Wilson balked at this invasion of his privacy; he tried to reason with the police, and ended up on the floor being punched, as six or so hairs were taken for the DNA sample. Charges of obstructing police in the course of their duty, and criminal damage, were brought against him and then dropped.

First of all I love the plugin. I got one big problem though:
I need to use iframe within the link. I installed a plugin for that (Advanced iFrame) which gives me a shortcode. ('[advanced_iframe securitykey="xxxxxxx" src="http://www.sears.com" width="100%" height="550px"]')
If i copy this shortcode in my link field it will not work. It strips everything untill where my securitykey starts. ('[advanced_iframe securitykey=')
Is there any way i can make it work like I want?

Two charged particles are placed on the X axis. q1 = 0.15 microcoulombs is placed at the origin and q2 = 0.35 microcoulomb is located on the positive x axis at x2 = 0.40 m. Where should a third charged particle be placed to be at equilibrium point?
thanks you so much in advance!!

Microsoft's Ballmer: Kinect Makes Living 'Full' Life From Your Couch Possible
Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer kicked off the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Thursday night with a keynote address talking up the latest Xbox improvements.
Speaking to about 3,000 journalists and trade show attendees, Ballmer made a compelling case that Kinect for Xbox 360 makes it entirely possible to live a full and rewarding life without ever leaving your couch.
And for those who insist upon having a life away from a large screen, he touted the Windows Phone 7, which the company says will allow Xbox owners to "take their achievements, Gamerscore and avatar on the go."

How does one flush a system like this? And yes, there is a mix of iron risers with copper pipes on the floors.
