it is a very very very very good product, by god i had an amazing experience using this product. seriously i swear on my jesus, it gives me so good directions that i can go anywhere in this amazing world with my eyes closed!! thank you snapdeal for such a good product!!
Looks & Build:- Everything about this is of very high quality and is solidly built. The suction cup, the car power adapter, USB cable and the map device itself are all of very good quality. Maps:- The maps get updated 3-4 times a year and they are getting better. Yes, it is not hundred percent accurate for now. However, it is still a very good device. In India, right now there is no navigation device with accurate maps that you can blindly trust including Google maps. I have been using this for about 2 years now and was using google maps earlier through my phone. Usage:- This thing locks onto satellites in a jiffy and has a very sensitive chip that will hold onto the satellites very well. This does not get heated up with continuous usage unlike some of the smart phones. The instructions are loud and you can listen to them in a variety of Indian languages. You keep getting regular map and software updates which are easy to install. This also supports bluetooth pairing with your phone so that you can make handsfree calls (I have never used that since I never take calls while driving). The screen size is good enough. What I do not like:- Although this was supposed to have a trip planner, it does not have one. I got that confirmed from Garmin. So you cannot save your trips. You can add only one via point to your route. So if you plan to create a route plan with multiple way points added, that will not work. The workaround is to create the waypoints and keep navigating from one waypoint to another. Not very convenient but can still be used. There is no option to save the triplogs after a trip by specifying a name. You need to manually copy the triplogs to a computer and manage it over there. The resistive touch screen is not as great to use as the capacitive touch screens that we find on today's smartphones. This is not a big problem since you do not have to use the screen options very frequently.
Good one
Its was really great using it

August 2015 -- PCI Announces 2015 Big Beam Contest Results
The PCI Student Education Judging Committee recently selected the winners of the Engineering Student Design Competition, also known as the Big Beam Contest. The contest objective is for teams of students to fabricate and test a precast/prestressed concrete beam with the help of local precast concrete PCI Producer Members. Prizes are awarded to the top twenty (20) performers in consideration of efficient design, highest load capacity, and other categories. New judging criteria for 2015 eliminated zonal competitions and all entries competed in one North American competition. The NAU team finished 10th in the nation, winning a $1000 prize. Prizes went down to 20th place in the nation. Team members were Abdullah Alqattan, Mingyang Chen, Brian Bloom, Catherine Irvine.
April 2015 -- CECMEE
Students Win Golden Axe Award -- Christina Holt, Chris Sobie, Diane Buzzard, and Sean Begay won
the Spring 2015 Golden Axe Award. The Golden Axe Award is a prestigious award
given to graduating seniors based on their outstanding contributions to the
university in the areas of academic performance, service, leadership and
participation in activities.
April 2015 -- ASCE
Concrete Canoe --This year, the ASCE Student Chapter took 3rd
Place Overall in the Concrete Canoe Contest in the Pacific Southwest Regional
Conference. This is the best finish for NAU in over 15 years in the most competitive
conference! The team took 1st place in Final Product (i.e. they had the best
canoe); 3rd in Oral Presentation, 4th in Design Paper, and 4th overall in
paddling. One of the unique design aspects of the concrete mixture this year is
that it used Fly Ash rather than more traditional Cement. Fly Ash is a waste
byproduct. By substituting Fly Ash for cement, the final product had a 90%
smaller carbon footprint. The students were the first team to use this
innovative product. All in all, the team had a highly successful year as well
as laid the groundwork for future success!
January 2015. Two NAU students presented their research project at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board. Sean Begay's (CE and CM senior) project is to evaluate "Asphalt Binder Testing in Cold Weather Climates" while Mary Begay's (ME senior) research is to conduct "Milton Road Dedicated Bus Lane Study." Their projects under the supervision of Dr. Jun Ho have been sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration via NAU Dwight. D. Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship
December 2014. NAU students Leah Richardson (CE, bottom left), Makenzi Beltran (EnE, bottom center) and Clay Anderson (CE, top right) met up with engineering students at the Banaras University in India on their way to the Tibetan refugee camp in Mainpat India as part of an NAU team. The students worked with CECMEE faculty member Lar Reiboldt (bottom right) to sample water sources at the camp and to identify future projects in waste treatment for the camp.
December 2014. Civil engineering graduate Fahad Aloqaili was recognized as the CEFNS Standard Bearer at graduation. Fahad received an award as one of two Outstanding Seniors for the College.
November 2014. A group of 5 NAU students (3 CM: David Wilson, Jonathan Lance, and Jerson Hosteen, and 2 CE: Fawaz Almutairi and Fahad Aloqaili) participated in the 2014 International Concrete Construction Competition organized by the ACI and took overall 4th place (2nd place in the US). This was a great mix of NAU students and they worked hard together to solve a real world problem. All teams were given a problem statement and asked to submit their solution within two weeks. This year's competition was to determine an appropriate concrete form and optimize construction costs based on students skills in engineering analysis, scheduling, takeoff, and cost estimate.
November 2014. Dr. Jun Ho was awarded the 2014 Pavements/Materials Community Service Award at the Arizona Pavements/Materials Conference in Tempe on 11/9/14. Dr. Ho is recognized for his significant contributions to the advancement of the pavement and materials technology. Three awards were given – one each in public sector, private sector and academia. Dr. Ho was the award winner in the academic division.
November 2014. A group of 9 NAU students (6 CE, 2 ME, and 1 CM) under the guidance of Dr. Jun Ho, Assistant Professor, CECMEE, participated in the Student Poster Competition at the 2014 Arizona Pavements/Materials Conference at ASU. Awards received:First overall place (tie in an ASU PhD student): Fawaz Almutairi and Fahad Aloqaili (CE seniors). Research topic: "Evaluating Freeze-Thaw Durability of Fiber Reinforced Pervious Concrete Mixtures"2nd place (undergraduate student category): Tassio Magassy, Tamyres Da Silva, and Joao Lima (CE seniors): Research topic: "Asphalt Mixture Beams in the Bending Beam Rheometer for Quality Control: Material Preparation, Testing Process, and Field Application"3rd place (undergraduate student category): Kaiqi Zhang (CM sophomore): Research topic: "Quantifying Effect of Solar Radiation and Wheel Pressure on Performance of Asphalt Pavements"The winners' posters were displayed at the conference and NAU President Dr. Rita Chen), Provost Dr. Laura Huenneke, and VP for Finance and Administration Mr. Jennus Burton were at the venue while attending the Arizona Board of Regents Meeting. They had the opportunity to share in the students' success.
October 2014. On October 10th, the newly renovated CECMEE Field Station (aka "Trotta's Farm") was formally "dedicated" to the students via a ribbon-cutting ceremony. New NAU President Rita Cheng, Provost Laura Huenneke and Dean Paul Jagodzinski were present, along with members of the CENE Industrial Advisory Board, faculty and students. IAB member and alumnus Jason Ramsey spoke in recognition of Dr. Paul Trotta, who assisted Dr. Cheng with the ribbon cutting. Renovations included a new access road, ADA compliance, and a renovated building with a large roll-up garage door, heated project space, an office, wireless internet, restrooms and storage. In addition to being a peaceful, scenic place amid the bustle of campus life, the Field Station will serve as a working lab for CENE and CM undergraduate and graduate student capstone and research projects.

America's Best Small-Town Museums
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR
Casting her curatorial net (and considerable wealth) far and wide, Alice Walton gathered centuries of exceptional American art, from the Colonial era up to the present. The works by Gilbert Stuart, John Singer Sargent, Andy Warhol, and Jackson Pollock, to name just a few, would make any big city proud. But Walton set her project in a place critically underserved by cultural institutions, the Ozarks town of Bentonville, where Sam Walton opened his first five and dime. Designed by Israeli-American architect Moshe Safdie with an eye toward connecting with the landscape, the museum is made up of eight interconnected galleries built in and around spring-fed pools, surrounded by forests, ravines, and miles of hiking trails. It helped inspire the opening of 21c, a nearby art-filled boutique hotel with a locavore restaurant. Free; crystalbridges.org.

WLWT Investigates: How safe are Cincinnati streets?UPDATED 8:04 PM EDT Jul 07, 2014
WLWT News 5 looked into the frequency and severity of car crashes in Cincinnati involving pedestrians. The city is actually among the safest in the country but there are still efforts underway to make it safer.Video Transcript
MAKE OUR STREETS SAFER... BUT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CRIME. THE ISSUE INVOLVES PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. WLWT NEWS FIVES COURTIS FULLER TAKES A LOOK AT THE QUESTION ... IS CINCINNATI "WALKER FRIENDLY"?? OR IS IT DESIGNED FOR DANGER?? (Michael Brumm/Pedestrian: It's kind of cross your fingers and hope they slow down) (Leslie Fullan/Pedestrian: For some reason they don't see that sign blinking and I swear I feel like they pick up their speed limit when they come across this road ) (Kristy Verticchio/Pedestrian: I guess when I'm driving I feel like the pedestrians don't follow the rules as much and when I'm walking I feel like cars don't follow the rules I think there is a lot of non rules following) THE URBAN MIX OF VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS SHARING THE STREETS HAS BEEN CALLED DANGEROUS BY DESIGN. A RECENT REPORT EXAMINED PEDESTRIAN SAFETY NATIONWIDE. MORE THAN 676 THOUSAND PEDESTRIANS WERE INJURED BETWEEN 2003 AND 2012. DURING THE SAME DECADE 47 THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE KILLED WHILE WALKING IN THE U-S. WE TOOK OUR CAMERA TO SEVERAL CROSSWALKS.. AND AS YOU CAN SEE CROSSING THE STREET CAN SEEM LIKE A GAME OF CHANCE. MICHAEL BLUMM WORKS ON PETE ROSE WAY.. HE SAID THE CROSSWALK WALK IN FRONT OF HIS OFFICE BUILDING IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. (Michael Brumm/Pedestrian: I mean you can see some of these cars come flying through and it's worse in the morning people just come shooting by) NEAR U-C CARS NOT STOPPING AT ONE CROSSWALK (Mark Elsaesser/Clifton Businessman: This particular crosswalk I've witnessed three automobile accidents I've been told of pedestrians being struck) AND---A CLOSE CALL FOR RECENT UC GRAD MATT WISEMAN (Matt Wiseman/Pedestrian: Yeah we saw the car coming and waited it for it pass and went ahead and crossed) (Matt Wiseman/Pedestrian: it's tough to see pedestrians here I drive this street as well) DOWNTOWN NEAR FOUNTAIN SQUARE (Lt. Bruce Hoffbauer/Cincinnati Police: That is a very busy location and there are a lot of near misses there) SO HOW DOES CINCINNATI COMPARE AN INDEX OF LARGE METRO AREAS.. SHOWS THE LIKELIHOOD OF A PERSON ON FOOT BEING HIT AND KILLED. CINCINNATI IS THE 12TH SAFEST REGION. AND THIRD LOWEST PERCENTAGE OF DEATHS OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD. SO FAR THIS YEAR THREE PEDESTRIANS WERE KILLED AND FOUR SERIOUSLY INJURED. OUR PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST WITH CINCINNATI POLICE PRODUCED A FILE OF HUNDREDS OF ACCIDENTS ..MORE THAN SIX DOZEN INVOLVING CROSSWALKS. (Mark Elsaesser/Clifton Businessman: I've reached out to the city engineers and they've installed some additional signs to help increase the visibility I would like a flashing sign to call more attention to it) POLICE SAY A DRIVER HAS TO BE AWARE A PEDESTRIAN MAY START TO WALK OUT AND THE DRIVER SHOULD SLOW DOWN. BUT THE LAW DOESN'T ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO WALK INTO TRAFFIC AND EXPECT THE DRIVER TO COME TO A SCREECHING STOP (Lt. Bruce Hoffbauer/Cincinnati Police: Most of the time people get away with it there's no accident or injury but unfortunately there are those times when the accident does happen and because it's a car against a person the outcome is usually not good for the person) (SOME CITIES HAVE STARTED CROSSWALK ENFORCEMENT INITIATIVES..ONE EXAMPLE---CHICAG O WILL HAVE OFF DUTY OFFICERS POSING AS PESDISTRIANS.. LAST YEAR THEY ISSUED MORE THAN A THOUSAND CITIATIONS FOR FAILURE TO STOP FOR PEDESTRIANSRIGHT NOW NO SIMILAR ENFORCEMENT FOR OUR AREA..I'M COURTIS FULLER WLWT NEWS FIVE) THERE IS A PROPOSAL BEFORE CONGRESS CALLED THE "SAFE STREETS" ACT OF 20-14... IF PASSED... IT WOULD REQUIRE EVERY STATE TO CREATE A COMPLETE STREETS LAW TO ACCOMMODATE THE SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE OF ALL USERS.

Educators Tell City Council Why Millions Goes Unclaimed From Medicaid
When New York City rolled out its $80 million database for special-needs students, in 2010, it gave all schools a new computer to be used solely by speech, physical and other therapists who provide services to the students to file required paperwork.
The therapists were allotted five minutes to enter their notes after each session. Stuck waiting for their turn to use the machines, many of them routinely took work home.
This has been just one of the obstacles the New York City Education Department has faced in its failure to collect Medicaid reimbursements for services provided to the students, a city councilman said at a hearing Thursday.
The notes from the therapists and teachers must be filed for reimbursement to take place under new state rules. But Councilman Domenic M. Recchia Jr., who brought up the matter of the computers, said one machine per school was not enough, especially when the database crashes often and antiquated wiring in some schools makes getting online a time-consuming chore.
The City Council called the hearing after a New York Times article in December showed that the city had failed to collect tens of millions of dollars in reimbursements in recent years, largely because it lacked the staffing and training to do so.
The federal government requires school districts to provide therapy, nursing, counseling and other types of services to special-needs students, then reimburses the costs, as long as they meet certain requirements. New York State instituted some of the nation's strictest regulations after a 2005 audit unearthed a host of irregularities in the city's claims, eventually forcing the city to repay $100 million to the federal government.
At the hearing, education officials tried to explain the minutiae of Medicaid reimbursement regulations, and why they had failed to file claims in some instances. But some people saw the explanations as excuses for wasting money.
Michael Mulgrew, president of the city teachers' union, the United Federation of Teachers, called the department's troubles in collecting the reimbursements "gross incompetence." The Manhattan borough president, Scott M. Stringer, who addressed the problem last year in a letter to Schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott, described it as "absolutely a New York City embarrassment."
Education officials said that Medicaid required a physician's order for each of the services, for example. Veronica Conforme, the Education Department's chief operating officer, said the city had hired more doctors to write the orders, and drafted parents and school health centers to help out, too. Still, Ms. Conforme acknowledged, the city was a long way from full compliance.
She also said that if three out of four students were absent from their group therapy session, the city could not ask for reimbursement on behalf of the only child who showed up. (The one-on-one session does not qualify as group therapy.) If speech pathologists lack certain certification – and 40 percent of the therapists employed by the city's school system do – their services are not eligible for reimbursement.
"In a system as large as ours," which has about 175,000 special-needs students, "meeting the new requirements has required a significant amount of investment," Ms. Conforme said.
A budget plan released in November showed that the city hoped to collect $117 million in reimbursements for services provided in the current fiscal year, which ends on June 30; $30 million has been claimed so far, Ms. Conforme said.
The estimate, however, was not part of budget discussions last year, said the Council speaker, Christine C. Quinn. While a deal was reached to keep 4,100 teachers from losing their jobs, she said the Council signed off on the layoffs of 660 school aides because there seemed to be no other alternative to balancing the books.
"If we knew we might have this reimbursement money, we could have had a conversation with the union representing these people and told them we're working at it, we're trying, we're trying to save these jobs," Ms. Quinn said.
Medicaid reimbursements are available for 10 types of school-based services, though the city has been submitting claims for just five of them: speech, occupational and physical therapy; transportation; and nursing. The reason, Ms. Conforme said, is that those are the most common among the services provided, so there is more money involved.
The estimated loss for failing to file claims for the other services, among them audiological evaluations and psychological counseling, is $20 million a year, Michael Tragale, the department's chief financial officer, said at the hearing.
Ms. Conforme said the department would use part of the reimbursement money it has collected this year to buy more computers for the therapists in the schools. She also noted that reimbursement claims can be filed up to two years from the date the service was provided, so there is time to address some of the kinds. Councilman Robert Jackson, chairman of the education committee, disagreed, saying the more the department waited, the more the work would pile up.
"If this was private industry, all of you would be fired right now," Mr. Jackson told Ms. Conforme, Mr. Tragale and Matt Berlin, the department's executive director of Medicaid, who also testified at the hearing.
"The buck stops with the Department of Education," he added. "Not recouping those tens of millions of dollars is totally unacceptable."

Federal officials have opened another avenue for advanced communications for agencies as the government expands the common marketplace for commercial satellite communications.
The General Services Administration and the Defense Information Systems Agency officials formed the satellite communications partnership in August 2009, intending to provide customers with a single platform for delivering critical communications services.
On Aug. 24, they announced a second set of indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts for the satellite services. GSA and DISA awarded Custom Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Solutions (CS2) contract to eight businesses. It's part of the Future Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Services Acquisition (FCSA) program. The program is designed to allow agencies to buy customized, customer-defined solutions that include satellite bandwidth, teleport access, and network management. Their program also allows agencies to purchase the equipment needed for satellite communications, and engineering support such as integration, operations, and maintenance.
"The FCSA program demonstrates how GSA's focus on collaboration with our customers has led to a solution that makes it easier and more affordable for federal agencies to get secure satellite services on an as-needed basis," said Mary Davie, GSA's acting Federal Acquisition Service commissioner.
The new IDIQ contract gives rounds out the program.
"The award of the final FCSA end-to-end service area completes the new business model and positions us to acquire comprehensive, technically superior and cost-effective COMSATCOM services in a more competitive manner for partners," David Simpson, DISA vice director and rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, said in a statement.
The award completes the new business model and positions the government "to acquire comprehensive, technically superior and cost-effective [satellite] services in a more competitive manner for partners," Rear Adm. David Simpson, DISA vice director, said in a statement.
CS2 awardees are:
The CS2 contracts have five-year contract period and ceiling of $2.6 billion. GSA and DISA announced awards for the companion CS2-SB small business contracts for smaller scale end-to-end solutions and professional satellite support services earlier this year.

Nothing Precious About Precious Metals On Monday
Published on Monday, 23 April 2012 19:19 Written by Todd Shriber
Some gold bugs might be left saying to themselves "What else is new?" Following another day of being held hostage by global macroeconomic headwinds, gold futures fell. Comex gold for June delivery fell $10.20, or 0.6%, to close at $1,632.60 a troy ounce. More fears regarding the sovereign debt situation in Europe plagued the euro and sent traders running to most reliable safe have they know of these day: The U.S. dollar, not gold. The result was a decent day for the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (NYSE: UUP).
Not all of the woes faced by the metals complex on Monday can be blamed on Europe. Preliminary manufacturing activity in China for this month indicates another month of contraction for the world's second-largest economy. That would be the sixth consecutive month of lower manufacturing data. Since China is the world's second-largest gold consumer, this news helped gold finish the day on a down, but industrial metals were also slammed on the news.
Industrial metals saw sharper declines than gold Monday on weaker demand expectations after the release of European economic data and news of a continued manufacturing slowdown in key raw materials consumer China, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Silver plunged, no surprise as industrial demand accounts for half of overall silver demand. The iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV) lost 2.54% on below average to close at its lowest level since January. Looking at SLV's chart, there's really nothing in the way of material support to prevent the ETF from falling to $25-$26 in the medium-term.
The confluence of glum global economic concerns sent copper to a lower finish as well with the iPath DJ-UBS Copper TR Sub-Index ETN (NYSE: JJC) sliding 1.36%. The Global X Copper Miners ETF (NYSE: COPX) lost 3.23% on thin volume and has a purely awful chart at the moment. Shares of Freeport-McMoRan lost (NYSE: FCX) 1.1% on above average turnover.
The other white metals were no prizes either as the ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (NYSE: PPLT) declined 1.34% on light volume. The ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (NYSE: PALL) didn't look too shabby by comparison with a loss of "just" half a percent. PALL's chart looks still looks decent.
The same cannot be said of the mining ETFs. The Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE: SIL) lost 2.6% on strong volume and appears destined to retest support at $20. The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDXJ) also lost 2.6% while the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) lost 2.3% on volume that was about 50% above normal. GDX touched another 52-week low today.

The past
Like their U-20 side, the Korea DPR U-17 team have truly established themselves among the world's best on the global scene. The East Asians are among the most successful in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, having twice reached the final during the past four editions, including clinching the inaugural trophy back at New Zealand 2008. All the more impressive is their dominance in continental qualifiers, namely the AFC U-16 Women's Championship. They have reached the final in each of the past five editions in which they have taken part. Despite missing the inaugural tournament in 2005, Korea DPR took the Asian showpiece by storm two years later by claiming the title. After agonisingly finishing runners-up in the next three editions, they bounced back to edge defending Japan to recapture the Asian laurels last year.
The present
Coach Hwang Yong-Song's current squad demonstrated trademark never-say-die spirit en route to their second continental success. They opened with overwhelming victories against Chinese Taipei and Uzbekistan, before a 1-1 draw against Japan sealed their progression as group runners-up. The tournament's Most Valued Player Ri Hae-Yon completed a brace as they edged hosts China PR 2-1 in the semi-final clash, thus sealing both a place in the final and qualification for Jordan 2016.
The future
With women's football Korea DPR's strongest suit, it is their youth teams, in particular, that are undisputed forces to be reckoned at global level. Not surprisingly, Korea DPR are among the tournament favourites heading into Jordan 2016. Inspired by their title-winning campaign in continental qualifying, coach Hwang Yong-Song's side will have fixed their focus on no less than a second world title.

[Review] 7929 Battle of Naboo
Posted 30 January 2011 - 01:46 PM
This is my last review from wave 1 of the Star Wars 2011 sets. I would like to start by saying it really is a great set to have and one of the best sets this year in terms of value for money (not just price per piece). Now onto the stats of this set from TLG.
Item #: 7929
Ages: 7-12
Pieces: 241
•Includes 12 minifigures: Jar Jar Binks, Gungan soldier, 2 droid pilots and 8 battle droids
•Arm the Gungan soldier with an all-new transparent energy shield!
•Deploy 2 racks of realistic, detachable battle droids!
•Move the controls of the Trade Federation troop carrier!
•Trade Federation troop carrier measures 10" (25cm) long, 3" (7cm) wide and 4" (10cm) tall
A nice box, that is, as far as boxes go. It certainly showcases the main draws to the set. That is, of coarse, the figures.
Normally, don't point out the back of the box but I'll make an exception for two reasons; one good and one bad. First of all, I really like how this box harkens back to allmost a decade ago when lego would show the figures themselves 'building' the set. It's not exactly the same but I still like it. The bad point isn't really that bad but worth noting. You can see on the box that the 'domes' on the side of the transport are held in by grey pins, in reality there are less realistic blue pins to hold them in. It doesn't really matter because when the holding bay is in, they are obscured but I don't know why TLG would change their minds on something like that.
This is what you get inside the box, 3 unmarked bags and an instruction manual.
Opening up the first bag, you see that it's dominated by droid arms and heads.
The second bag is mainly plates and droid bodies.
The last bag consists of mainly larger plates and the few bricks that this set has.
There aren't too many interesting pieces in this set outside of the great new Gungans (it should be noted that the bagged heads were found within the large bag). I don't think there are any new pieces outside of the Gungans but a few rare ones.
Here we have the 10 (count 'em) droids. The pilot droid has new printing, it isn't perfect but it's the best one we've had so far.
Here's a referance pic. Pretty accurate, isn't it?
Here we have the great revisions on the gungans. Since there haven't been any for an entire decade, this will be the first chance for many to get their hands on them.
Lego really were generous giving us back printing on the heads and bodies. They really do stand out as some of the best figures this year (outside of the beautiful Shaak Ti, naturally).
Comparing them to the old versions, the new versions surpass the old ones in allmost every way. The mold is allmost the same except the new ones have smoother eyes (the old ones had them to give the effect of pupils) and are made of a different plastic. I assume this is the cheap chinese plastic that people are talking about. I don't mind it on a head but I certainly wouldn't want it for my bricks. For those who don't know what it feels like, it's basically half way between Lego and Megablocks, but probably closer to Lego.
Here's a random picture of the manual. The manual is the same size as the Clone Battle pack but has about twice the pages (48). The set is completed in 26 steps but the entire carrier section is counted as a substep so including substeps, it's about 40 steps.
Here is a picture corresponding to the step. A bit past half way through the build.
Here is the set just before the carrier section is added. To me it doesn't look right without the carrier.
Before the figures are added, this set looks fine. It doesn't stand out as an impressive model but looks great as a part (or severaly parts with multiple buys) of a droid army or battlefield diorama.
With the figures, it's still not too impressive. It's more of a large battlepack than a standalone model. With this in mind it is a very good battlepack.
With that in mind, it does look quite impressive at some angles.
This 'control panel' is my least favourite part of the set. It just doesn't work with a battle droid but it'll have to do.
With the completed set, it's time for my ratings:
Design 7/10
The set fits its purpose but won't stand out in most collections. Pretty accurate, if a little small but most people won't care.
Figure 10/10
A great figure line up. Though we missed out on our last chance for a new Kaadu for a while now, this certainly is a great army builder.
Value 8/10
I docked some points for the fact that UK actually pay one pound more than US which is pretty ridiculous. Still fair value, especially how prices are these days.
A good set to buy multiples of and a great starting points for people looking to make a decent army. Probably the best set at its price point but not a standout model.
Please comment on the review and set and come back soon when I find out how to add a poll to this.

Not I!
I haven't read this review yet as I will be buying this set soon and don't want to see any 'spoilers' about parts/functions!
I agree that while this Battle Droid carrier is more detailed than the 7126 version, it can be much improved. It doesn't carry many droids for a start! I had modified 7126 by simply making it longer and twice the height (closer to the movie) but the parts/sets were cheaply available for that. New build from scratch this time round.
Posted 01 February 2011 - 03:28 PM
Its a great army builder with 10 battle droids and two Gungans. LEGO was realy generous here, they could have given us a set with one gungan and six droids, priced it the same and people still would have bought it.
The quality of the Gungan heads is really good too. I was expecting them to be made of the same softer material as the HP Dobby head but it looks like they used different, more sturdy plastic. In regards to the 'cheep chinese plastic'remark, even thoughthese heads were made in China, this is not the issue that everyone is talking about. That issue has more to do with the actual minifig parts (torsos, legs heads etc) that are in the collectible minifig packs and in some of the battlepacks. The quality of the Gungan heads is actually pretty good, much better than the soft Dobby heads from the HP sets.
Posted 03 February 2011 - 02:47 AM
However, now that it is out, I am no longer interested. Maybe because of the price, $35 CAD (!), which is high for a set with such an insubstantial build.
Thanks for the review.

The X Prize Foundation chose three videos out of 133 for their $25,000 "What's Your Crazy Green Idea?" Contest. The competition encouraged people to create a two-minute YouTube video that explained their idea for the next X Prize in Energy and Environment.
Submissions ended on Oct. 31 — and now it's up to you to decide which idea is best. The three ideas involve creating a more efficient battery, reducing home energy usage, and making it easier for homes to have complete energy independence. Which one is most important to you?

The GSCA 2016 International Conference and Trade Show will be held on October 4-7 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Cineplex Scotiabank IMAX Theatre will host flat-screen presentations on the IMAX next-generation digital laser projection system, and the Ontario Science Centre will host 15/70 film presentations on the dome screen in the Shoppers Drug Mart Omnimax Theatre. The Fairmont Royal York is the official event hotel. Registration and film submissions now open. Click here for the schedule, hotel information, professional development sessions, and more.
GSCA is hosting Big Screen Day at this year's Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC) annual conference. The conference is September 24-27, with Big Screen Day beginning at 11:00 am on Tuesday, September 27, at the MOSI IMAX Dome Theater in Tampa, Florida. GSCA will also have a booth at the trade show where staff will promote the association, its members, and the films being shown on Big Screen Day. GSCA is also hosting two sessions at ASTC: "Beyond the Theater: Creating Relevant Experiences for Museum Cinema Audiences" and "Innovative Uses for Museum Theaters." Click here for more information.
Please note there will be no GSCA Film Expo in March 2017. Feedback from delegates, distributors and sponsors indicated the majority would like GSCA to focus on one major industry event per year, so the Board of Directors has voted to hold only the International Conference and Trade Show in 2017. Dates and location for that event are yet to be determined.

The final nominees for the 2007 CMA Awards will be announced live on August 30. With another year of decreasing record sales behind them, the Nashville music industry will be looking to rally the faithful and celebrate the few bright spots that the genre can claim right now.
The CMA is the most significant genre award show by a wide margin. Unlike the fan-voted CMT Awards and the radio industry-dominated ACM's, the CMA is the one award that truly reflects the Nashville music industry. It doesn't have the prestige of the Grammy, which is voted on solely by those who actually create music, but since it encompasses voters who make their livelihood working with country music, it reflects how the preferences of the country music industry as a whole.
While voters exist around the world, membership is dominated by those who work on, and with, Music Row. Most of the big employers purchase memberships for their entire staff. It is important to keep that in mind when forecasting who will be nominated and eventually win. The biggest labels have the most clout, and as the past couple of years have shown, it's the Sony BMG behemoth that can wrangle the most nominations.
In the run-up to the announcement of the final nominees, I'll be making predictions for each major category after exploring the possible nominees, and their likelihood of ending up in the final five. Artists are ranked in three levels: Certain to Be Nominated, Likely to Be Nominated and Could Be Nominated. They are ranked within those categories as well in the order of likelihood. Final prediction for the five nominees are listed at the end.
First up:
Certain to Be Nominated:
Brad Paisley
He's a core act at radio, and is arguably the most respected male artist today that hasn't won this award. He's been a nominee for six of the past seven years, and he's the reigning ACM champ. In a very competitive category, he's the only lock for a nomination.
Likely to Be Nominated:
Kenny Chesney
Despite being known more as an entertainer than a singer, he's been in this category for the past six years. I've been expecting him to drop out of it for about as long, but that BMG voting block is pretty strong. I wouldn't be shocked to see him left off, but I'm not expecting it.
Keith Urban
I get the sense that enthusiasm for Urban has cooled in the past year, but he's still doing well at radio and he has been the winner of this award for three years running. Only Vince Gill and George Strait have been able to pull off that feat, so I expect him to at least contend for the award again.
Could Be Nominated:
George Strait
He wasn't nominated in 2006, and he wasn't nominated in 1992, but every other year from 1984 on, he's been up for this award. He's had a big year at radio and I think that the CMA will embrace this Hall of Famer again in this category.
Josh Turner
I'm going with my gut on this one. The traditionalist bent of the voting bloc, coupled with his fantastic year at retail, makes me think that Turner will end up a finalist. His ineligibility for Album and Horizon make this the logical place to show him some love. He'll probably win this in the future.
Alan Jackson
Being a core BMG act and the most respected male vocalist of his generation can't guarantee a nomination for him this year. He's still got a great shot, but lukewarm reception to his latest album among the traditionalists that are usually behind him may keep him off the list.
Tim McGraw
He's still one of the biggest male artists the genre has, but he hasn't been nominated since 2003 for this award. I'm doubtful he'll be back in the race again. There are simply too many male artists who are doing well for them all to be nominated.
Rodney Atkins
He's still pretty new, so a Horizon award nomination seems more likely. But the man did sell over a million records, more than many of the top-tier male acts. In a less competitive year, he'd have a good shot. In 2007, he has an outside chance.
Vince Gill
Warm reception to his four-CD opus These Days will probably land him more votes in this category than he's received in years. This 2007 inductee to the Hall of Fame could slip in here, but nominations for Album and Vocal Event seem far more likely.
Dierks Bentley
I'm only even considering him as a remote possibility because he was nominated last year, but that was before his third album was released. His big sales drop-off makes it highly unlikely he'll be nominated again, given how highly competitive this category is.
Toby Keith
It wouldn't be fair to not discuss Keith at all, given his immeasurable vocal talent and continued success at radio and retail. But the reality is he hasn't been a contender since 2004 for this award, and now that he has his own label, his support among the voters is simply too weak.
Final Prediction:
Male Vocalist of the Year
- Kenny Chesney
- Brad Paisley
- George Strait
- Josh Turner
- Keith Urban

Hello everyone, been looking around trying to find an answer to my problem with Widget Context.
I can get it to show on specific pages that I need but when I attempt to get Widget Context to show my content on specific categories, it won't show anything. I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong since I followed the little example shown under the "or target by url" box.
I've tried these attempts:
- category/provide-comfort
- category/provide-comfort/*

- provide-comfrot/*
None of these options work to get my widget to show in a post specified with the "provide comfort" category. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do to fix this?

text: The three main beaches around Christchurch are New Brighton Beach, Sumner Beach, and Taylor's Mistake. New Brighton Beach, about 8 km (5 miles) from the city center, is popular with surfers and fishers. The long pier that goes well out into the surf is a great place to stroll when the sea is calm, but even better when it's rough! Buses 5 and 40 go here. Sumner Beach is also pleasant for the long relaxing walk. Walk along the sand to Cave Rock, the signal station at the top used to warn vessels approaching the Sumner bar in the 19th century. Children used to play at this large rock while their parents watched with a drink at the nearby beachside café but it's currently fenced off and the signal station's undergoing repairs. There are still a couple of those beachside cafés and the excellent Cornershop Bistro, but at this writing, Sumner is not yet back to the tourist destination it used to be. You can catch a number 3 bus if you don't have a car. Experienced surfers prefer Taylor's Mistake, near Sumner, where the waves are often higher. You can drive there over the Scarborough Hill but there is no public transport. If you're lucky, you'll see tiny, rare Hector's dolphins playing off Sumner Head on your way out.

|Now healthy, winning the priority for O'Neal
|07.14.10 at 5:57 pm ET
WALTHAM ' Jermaine O'Neal came clean on why he struggled so mightily against the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs this past season. The new C's center said he was kicked in the left ankle in a March 11 contest against the Knicks, which led to it being 'extremely swollen.' He tried toughing it out in the playoffs, but the results weren't pretty, as he average just 4.2 points and 5.6 rebounds and saw the Heat fall in five games.
'You go out there, you're telling your team, you're telling your followers that you're ready to play, and whatever excuse you have should be kept in the locker room, so I chose not to talk about it because it didn't really matter,' O'Neal said. 'I still felt like I could go out there and help the team. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do it. It was just one of those things.'
Both he and Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said that he is healthy, and O'Neal now looks forward to embracing a new environment in Boston as he enters his 15th season in the league.
'One thing I admired about the Boston Celtics team was the coaching and also the way the players played together, it was very selfless on the court,' O'Neal said. 'They compete at a very high level on both ends of the floor. They don't really care who gets the credit for scoring or rebounding or whatever it may be, they just kind of play together and play to win.'
O'Neal said he looked at the way Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett united in Boston for a chance at a first ring, and that his decision was strongly based on their line of thinking, saying, 'I thought those guys [were] at a position in their career where I'm kind of at that same position.'
With starting center Kendrick Perkins out for the time being with torn MCL and PCL ligaments, the popular line of thinking has been that O'Neal will be the starting center until whenever Perkins returns (sometime in early 2011, whether it be January of February) and that he will then spell both Perkins and Garnett in a reserve role with Glen Davis.
Given what O'Neal has been able to accomplish in his career statistically, it might be hard to imagine a six-time All-Star turning down other offers for a potential job off the bench. Still, despite coming close to averaging a double-double from 2000 to 2007, O'Neal is extremely content with his new role.
"It's not about options, it's about winning," O'Neal said. "That's what it really boils down to. I'm not at a point in my career where I need to worry about that. I've been on an Olympic team, I've had Nike campaigns, I've had All-Star games, All-NBA's and I don't have an NBA finals appearance, which is the most important thing to me and that's what I really value the most right now.
"Sometimes as players we kind of take for granted that it's going to keep happening. All those great years in Indiana, you couldn't have told me that I would go five straight years of basically talking about ' going into camp ' talking about just making the playoffs. It's a big difference when you come into camp talking about a championship run and talking about trying to make the first round."
There could be a string of factors that could make the road bumpier than some would hope, whether it be keeping everyone happy, fighting off injuries, or dealing with O'Neal's old team, now fully equipped with Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade, but it's quite clear the center is all smiles and glad to be in Boston.
|Celtics video: C's react to loss
|06.18.10 at 7:12 am ET
LOS ANGELES — Celtics players speak to the media following the team's Game 7 loss to the Lakers in the NBA finals.
|5 Things that Went Wrong in Game 7
|at 12:07 am ET
The Celtics lost Game 7 of the NBA Finals to the Lakers in Los Angeles on Thursday night, 83-79, falling short of their 18th championship. Here are five things that went wrong in the deciding game. (Click here for a recap of the Celtics' loss.)
1. The Celtics gave it away – The Celtics were in control. They had the momentum and the confidence to get it done '¦ before they let it all slip away. The Celtics led by 10 with seven minutes to go in the third quarter and had taken away the Lakers biggest weapon. But they began to miss shots and the Lakers were there to grab the rebounds. The C's scored just three points in the final four minutes of the quarter and only led by four going into the final 12 minutes. The Lakers immediately got within two points seconds into the fourth, while the Celtics did not score for nearly three minutes. Bryant made three free throws to cut the Celtics advantage to one, and banked another two minutes later to give the Lakers the lead. Bryant scored four consecutive points to pull the Lakers ahead by four with 5:22 left, and they never looked back. The Celtics played catch up for the rest of the game as Bryant, Ron Artest, and Pau Gasol made critical baskets.
2. Kobe Bryant – The Celtics have battled past superstars the entire postseason, each time prevailing with team basketball. But after defeating Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard, they could not overcome the individual performance of Kobe Bryant. The Celtics held Bryant to just eight points (3-14 FG) in 22 minutes in the first half. When Bryant began to find his rhythm, though, the C's failed to find an answer. Bryant scored 15 points in the second half, including four straight to tie the game and give the Lakers the lead with less than six minutes left. He finished the night with 23 points. It wasn't his best offensive performance, but he made the shots when it counted.
3. Rebounding – The Celtics have said the entire series that the team that wins the rebounding war wins the game. On Thursday, they won neither. The Lakers outrebounded the Celtics, 53-40, including 23 offensive boards. This can't be pinned on the injury of Kendrick Perkins, either. He alone doesn't account for a 13-rebound differential. The Celtics had players capable of rebounding, but in the end, Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant combined for 33 boards while only Paul Pierce rebounded in double-digits for the C's. Kevin Garnett, who the Celtics desperately needed defensively, grabbed just three rebounds.
4. Ray Allen – His monumental 3-point performance is all but forgotten after Ray Allen's offensive struggles continued through Game 7. Allen shot just 3-for-14 from the field and scored 13 points. While he deserves credit for playing tough D on Bryant, his lack of production at the basket hurt the Celtics in a situation where they needed everyone scoring at full potential.
5. They Played Lakers Ball – The Celtics dominated the first half by feeding off their fundamentals of tough defense and team basketball. In the second half, however, it became showtime for Bryant and the Lakers. The Celtics failed to put together productive offensive possessions, rushed shots, and attempted forced baskets. In the end, they were forced to put the Lakers at the line, where they were outscored 25-15. They C's began the season by beating the Cavaliers in Cleveland with Celtics basketball, and ended it by losing to the Lakers in Los Angeles by falling victim to their opponent's game.
|C's veterans call a meeting
|06.16.10 at 2:50 am ET
LOS ANGELES — In the late moments of Game 6, the television cameras caught a glimpse of a conversation on the Celtics bench between their veteran players. That conversation carried over to the locker room and while the details are murky, the point was clear.
"We take complete responsibility," Ray Allen said. "We just put us in a hole early. It affects our bench. We didn't give them any great rhythm, any great chemistry. I think we talked about our defense and how we allowed so many points, but I think it stemmed from the offense because we didn't make the extra pass. Each individual tried to make the home run play early."
Oddly enough, the veterans finally put together solid shooting nights in the same game. Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett combined to go 19-for-42 and score 44 points. That doesn't sound like a lot, but when you consider the rest of the team shot 9-for-42 and scored just 23, they accounted for a sizable portion of the Celtics limited production.
All the veterans know that this may be their final chance at winning another ring, and given the uncertainty surrounding the summer, it may be their final chance together in the same uniform.
Pierce said he was keeping the conversation in-house, while Garnett said it was nothing. But one thing is certain: They don't want to go out like they did in Game 6.
"As a unit, starting unit, we take responsibility," Allen said. "We have to do a better job for next game."
|What they're saying about Celtics-Lakers
|06.14.10 at 2:19 pm ET
Fueled by a raucous TD Garden crowd, a bench that wouldn't quit and an apparent lack of serious competition, the Celtics took a 3-2 series lead over the Lakers Sunday night with their 92-86 win. The storylines have stayed the same throughout the series. The C's have stepped up and played as a team with a new leader emerging every game, while the Lakers have been inconsistent and led by one strong player, usually Kobe Bryant. Game 5 was just more of the same, and the national headlines the day after have told the same tale.
Los Angeles:
- Most of the criticism against Kobe and the Lakers originates from LA:
— T.J. Simers of the LA Times writes the harshest criticism by refusing to call him by name, opting for Our Ball Hog instead.
— Mark Medina from the Times' Lakers Blog places the blame on the rest of the Lakers for not supporting their leader.
— The LA Daily News' Vincent Bonsignore discusses how calm and quiet Kobe was during the postgame press conference. Alongside that, Bonsignore says that the captain 'really isn't interested in prodding his teammates along with some fiery speech over the next few days.'
- Bill Plaschke believes that this 2010 series is starting to resemble the 2008 series and it seems as though the Lakers are throwing in the towel.
- The Lakers' big men ' Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum ' have been largely ineffective and just taking up space on the court, writes Mike Bresnahan.
- Meanwhile, the Daily News' Elliot Teaford reports that Lamar Odom hasn't been acting like his normal, bubbly self in and around the Lakers' clubhouse this series because of his poor play.
- Jeff Zilgitt of USA Today chalks up the C's Game 5 victory to their big four starters: Pierce, Rondo, Allen and Garnett.
- Also from USA Today, Michael Falgoust noticed that Bryant's shooting percentage for the series is down to 42.5 percent, his lowest since the first round against Oklahoma City when he had swollen knee problems.
- Pau Gasol has been nothing more than a 'spectator to the Kobe Bryant show.' According to The Associated Press, Gasol wouldn't 'get himself involved or the Lakers wouldn't involve him' in Game 5.
- Kevin Garnett is noncommittal about his immediate future, but he is definitely glad he decided to leave Minnesota and come to Boston, writes Bill Lee of the Providence Journal.
- ESPN's Daily Dime covers topics such as 'the better team won Game 5,' Kobe Bryant needing some serious help on the court and Boston's bench keeping the energy up every game.
- And finally, the ratings for Game 5 are slowly trickling in and it appears that it was the most watched game of the series so far and the most watched event of the night again. The 2010 finals have been the highest watched finals since the 2004 matchup between the Lakers and the Pistons.
|Thompson on Big Show: Celts 'aren't as talented'
|06.11.10 at 8:19 pm ET
Lakers radio color commentator and Los Angeles radio show co-host Mychal Thompson, a former Laker, appeared on The Big Show Friday afternoon to discuss the Celtics-Lakers matchup and who he sees winning the series.
Following are some highlights. To hear the interview, click on The Big Show audio on demand page.
How do you see this thing playing out?
I'm very amused by [Cedric Maxwell] over there enjoying his last moment of glory here, last moment of happiness celebrating the victory last night, led by "Donk and Shrek" or whatever his name is. Let him enjoy the moment right now because that's the last piece of enjoyment he'll have around here until the Yankees come in here and knock you guys out of the playoffs.
If Andrew Bynum doesn't play, the Lakers are in trouble.
That's OK, we have another 7-footer to act, don't forget about my boy D.J. Mbenga sitting there. One thing D.J. can do is guard the basketball. We don't care about scoring. The problem with the Lakers [in Game 4] was they couldn't make stops, and D.J. can make stops. '¦ We're not panicking, because the Lakers have the best player in the world in Kobe Bryant. The only thing missing in the fourth quarter ' I give the Celtics credit, they definitely came out and put it on the Lakers. They wanted it. They understood the sense of urgency to win that game. otherwise the series was over. I'll give them credit for that. Now the Lakers must match their energy on Sunday [Game 5]. If the Lakers match the Celtics' energy, the Celtics can't beat them.
Isn't that the same story from 2008?
Well, we had some softer guys on that team. But now with Ron Artest able to shut down Paul Pierce …
Some people say we haven't seen the best of the Celtics yet.
Seeing the best of the Celtics won't matter, because you guys just aren't as talented. Kendrick Perkins is not as good a player in the post as Pau Gasol. [Kevin Garnett] is not the KG of two years ago.
The Celtics haven't played their best yet. Would that concern you?
No, because I know Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are going to bust out and have a good shooting game eventually. '¦ I'm not worried about offensively. It's the energy level, it's the aggression. If the Lakers come out like they did in Games 1, 2 and 3, if they play with that kind of energy, they'll beat the Celtics.
Have the fans in LA been complaining about the officiating?
Yeah, but you've got to play through that. You've got to be like Maxwell and [Larry] Bird and those guys were: tough mentally, don't worry about the officials. When you start looking over your shoulder, you're going to lose, you've got to forget about the officials and adjust to how they call the game.
Do we go seven games?
No, six. The Lakers win Sunday [in Game 5] and close them out Tuesday [in Game 6].
|McHale on Big Show: Celts must win 'old-style' game
|at 8:12 pm ET
TNT NBA analyst Kevin McHale appeared on The Big Show Friday afternoon to discuss Celtics-Lakers, the controversial officiating throughout the playoffs, and whether or not he might coach again in the NBA.
Following are some highlights. To hear the interview, click on The Big Show audio on demand page.
Did [Game 4] shock you?
No. I was actually more shocked by Game 3. '¦ Kobe [Bryant] goes 10-for-29, it's kind of a muddy, muffed-up game, there was not a lot of flow to it. I thought they were going to win that game, I really did. [Derek] Fisher made some big shots and held them off. '¦ I was telling somebody, they were saying, "Well, when the Lakers play free flow and they get their triangle" ' they were talking like it was going to be 115, 114 points a night, that doesn't happen in the playoffs. Everything tightens up, defense gets better, everybody's after each other. So, no, I was more surprised that the Celtics lost one of those grind-it-out games, and now they're going to have to find a way to win two more of those kind of ugly, grind-it-out, just classic, old-style games.
With Pau Gasol you have to keep him out of his sweet spot.
No question. I think that's where Rasheed [Wallace] has done a nice job of running him, coming around, tipping some balls away from him, getting him out of the sweet spot. And what Gasol's tendency is when he feels pressure, he doesn't push back and get closer, he starts drifting out to the ball. So I think [Kendrick Perkins] and Rasheed have both pushed him off. '¦ When you're that much bigger and longer than the guy, you can get a one-dribble jump hook left, one-dribble jump hook right, pump fake, you're just too close, just right under the basket.

College Smart: The Gift of Tolerance
What is tolerance? Is it the ability to find peace within a friendship of two racially different people? Or is the acceptance of other religions? Whether we are tolerant to others or intolerant, tolerance is a big issue for many Americans. In the second episode of the college smart series, reporter Cassady Lance (University of Houston), and shooter/editor Christina Rivera (Depauw University) ask college students the big question: what does tolerance mean to YOU?

Interactions between iron and dioxygen are ubiquitous in Nature. The Que lab focuses primarly on the unique challenges associated with dioxygen activation by nonheme iron in biological systems. The research effort in the Que lab combines biological methods and inorganic synthesis with a range of spectroscopic and kinetic techniques to investigate how iron can activate dioxygen to carry out metabolically important and chemically interesting reactions. The group is divided into three subgroups: high-valent iron-oxo, bioinspired catalysis, and nonheme iron oxygenases.
