I'm still rather new to the forum and the PB lifestyle, but am enamored with the wealth of info that exists here. Entering my 4th week tomorrow. Overall, I'd say things are very good. Still battling some constipation, and don't feel like I'm making anymore headway on the belly flab. I'm 5'11'', started this plan at 180 lbs, okay muscle mass, maybe 12-14%bf. Have lifted very heavy in the past (PR is 275 on bench, 315 deadlift), and have also done triathlons. So, all in all, came into this in good shape with a positive attitude. My goal is to get to single digit bodyfat, and to see my abs.
After a quick 5 lb drop (maybe more since I've definitely become more defined and gotten stronger), I feel like my belly flab has actually gotten worse. I've never really been able to see my abs, but I've generally held it all together pretty well. So, could it be perception that it's gotten worse, as most of the rest of my body either looks leaner or more muscular and it's only highlighted an already flabby stomach? Anyway, I'd love a critique to see if I can make any improvements. Your thoughts are appreciated!

text: The highly-anticipated Adelaide Test is finally upon us. Following the losses in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, it's the tourists' last chance to restore their good name. It is also India's veterans' last chance to escape the sword of Damocles. Indian fans are forgetful and one good show by the players here can place them back into their affections.So what are the chances of an Indian win?Honestly speaking, it's highly unlikely that the story is going to be any different on a sporting pitch in Adelaide. The reason is that very few teams in the history of the game have been able to stage a comeback in the situation the Indian team is.Talent and resources are not the issues here. Everything is in plenty. But the question is whether they have the fire in the belly to bail the team out of its biggest crisis in the last decade or so.A lot is at stake. There will sure be a couple of changes for the Indians.Wriddhiman Saha will wear the gloves in the wake of the ban on captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for slow over rate at the WACA. Also, medium pacer Vinay Kumar will make way for a spinner. However, it is unclear as to who will be his replacement. Ravichandran Ashwin failed to make any impression in the first two Tests so there is a big possibility of the selection of Pragyan Ojha. These are the only changes look to be on the cards right now. A lot of people are calling for Rohit Sharma's inclusion but it is highly unlikely, unless somebody among the batting heavyweights takes ill. Who knows, somebody might also opt out citing a lack of confidence. Itâs not uncommon in cricket. Sourav Ganguly would vouch for that. Rohit may himself not be willing to play as nobody wants to start their Test career in a paranoiac situation as that. What if he fails? Will the harsh punishments certain to be meted out to the seniors in case of another defeat be imposed on him as well? Any youngster, irrespective of their talent, would not like to kick off their career against such a fearful backdrop. Sadly for him, he has very little say in the matter and will have to play if he is asked to. Sachin Tendulkar is part of the ODI squad as well so there will be many opportunities for him in the coming days to get his historic ton. But every batsman wants to be remembered for Test heroics and Tendulkar is no different. He has been the best batsman on this tour for India and he is most likely to give them the lift they need at present. Now look at the brighter side for the visitors. Adelaide is the place where India beat Australia in 2003. Rahul Dravid scored 233 and 72 not out in that match. Sometimes going back to a place where you have done well in the past works miracles for you. Dravid, who has been down in the dumps in the series so far, with the Aussie bowlers getting past his defences on countless occasions, would hope so. VVS Laxman also scored 148 and 32 in that match, so apart from Dravid he is another guy who can take a lot of confidence from that outing.Mind you, India also drew at Adelaide the last time they toured Australia in 2007-08. So clearly, stats back them going into the match. Australia, on the other hand, seem to have the problem of plenty. One of the stand-out bowlers so far in the series, Peter Siddle may be asked to rest in favour of the budding spinner Nathan Lyon, who made way for Mitchell Starc in the last match. The Aussies have beaten India in every department in the previous matches and the possibility is that the trend will continue, but as they say it's a game of glorious uncertainties and anything can happen. Virender Sehwag, who will captain the team in Dhoni's absence, would like to believe that, won't he? Squads: Australia: Michael Clarke (captain), David Warner, Ed Cowan, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey, Brad Haddin, Peter Siddle, Ben Hilfenhaus, Ryan Harris, Mitchell Starc, Nathan LyonIndia: Virender Sehwag (captain), Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, R Vinay Kumar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Wriddhiman Saha, Zaheer Khan

Another controversial incident occurred during the seventh over of India's chase, when Sachin Tendulkar was run-out in controversial manner. Gautam Gambhir tapped a delivery from Brett Lee towards point and Tendulkar responded for a single. Lee, after his follow-through, ran across the pitch towards the balls but then stopped as he saw David Warner swoop in and under-arm the ball onto the stumps. Warner's superb throw hit the stumps with Tendulkar well short of his ground, and the third umpire ruled it out.
Tendulkar had immediately thrown his arms up in frustration, but as per the laws of cricket he was out. His content_cnion was that Lee had obstructed him, but there was no avenue for appeal as Lee did not appear to intentionally block Tendulkar.

Brock Lesnar. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
UFC 91, which took place on November 15 and featured former professional wrestler Brock Lesnar defeating UFC legend Randy Couture for the UFC heavyweight title, has reportedly generated over 1 million pay-per-view buys, temporarily making it the second most successful UFC PPV event in history.
According to a report by Dave Meltzer in the latest online edition of his Wrestling Observer, UFC 91 still has a chance of eclipsing UFC 66 as the organization's most-seen event to date:
UFC has not made a public announcement of the buys for UFC 91, but privately, Dana White has told people the number is right at the 1 million mark. Two others have confirmed that at least this is the number UFC is talking about internally, with the actual figure being pegged at 1,010,000 buys.
It was stated that if they do well in late reported buys, they have a solid to good shot at beating the 1,050,000 mark set in 2006 by Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz, and are not publicly saying anything because they want to announce it was the biggest ever, which at this point, is something they can't say. Keep in mind our trending patterns came in at 800,000 to 850,000 buys. Lesnar seems to be the one person whose drawing power never gets fully reflected in early trending patterns.
It's not that surprising that the event did so well. Randy Couture is historically one of the UFC's biggest all-time draws and Brock Lesnar's signing extended the UFC's mainstream reach ten-fold. However the number of buys the event did is pretty amazing considering the lack of advertising in the weeks leading up to the show.
When the event was first announced, Couture, Lesnar, and UFC President Dana White went on a media blitz for one week, hitting up various television sports networks, radio shows, and the like to promote the event. However after the initial foray, the UFC really didn't do that much in terms of publicity for the show with the exception of spots on ESPN and a few radio shows during the week of the event.
All signs point to UFC 94 being the UFC's next opportunity to really advertise for one of their marquee fight cards. Commercials for UFC 92 have been shown often and on multiple networks over the last couple of weeks but it was the latest season of "The Ultimate Fighter" that was doing a lot of the work in that regard.

- Tom Isleib: A profile in courage
- Saved the day this year
• North Carolina State University Plant Breeder Tom Isleib provided peanut varieties that helped growers in the Southeast weather record rainfall this year.
• After suffering a severe stroke, North Carolina State plant breeder tom Isleib continues to work to produce new and better peanut varieties.
• New high oleic peanut varieties are on tap for North Carolina peanut breeder Tom Isleib.
Peanut growers in the Southeast who make any money this year probably owe a part of it to North Carolina State University Plant Breeder Tom Isleib.
He is the 'father' of Bailey and Sugg varieties of peanuts and without these highly disease resistant varieties, this year's peanut crop could have been a major disaster.
Isleib knows a lot about potential disasters.
Now three years back, he was enjoying a fishing trip on Lake Michigan — something he'd done many times in his native state. Then things went really bad. He had a stroke and for a good while whether he would survive hung in the balance between life and death.
Fortunately, Tom did survive and continues his drive to provide peanut producers in the U.S. with the best varieties available. Affable and unflappable, Isleib jokes, "Since the stroke I talk a little funny and I forget things. Come to think of it, I did that before the stroke."
On a more serious note, Isleib says the team of researchers in his peanut breeding program at North Carolina State, and his colleagues there have been an inspiration that has helped keep him working. "North Carolina State has always provided me with the technicians I've needed to do my work. Without the help of Susan Copeland, who works in my breeding program, I don't know what I would have done in working through my medical problems. All my colleagues have been very understanding and very helpful throughout my return to work," he says.
One of those colleagues, David Jordan beamed in admiration as Isleib talked about Bailey and Sugg and new peanut varieties coming down the pipeline at a recent field day in North Carolina.

Update Your Resume Every Three Months
|Email Print
Have you ever tried, at the end of an internship for example, to recall everything you did on a particular job? It's difficult to muster up the words to describe every thing of note that you accomplished and even harder to fit all that stuff onto a single page. Now imagine if you've been working at the same company for twenty years and were suddenly laid off, with only a pink slip and your 20 year old resume in hand. Now try remembering what you did 20 years ago, or 10, or five… it's damned impossible. That's why you should update your resume every three months no matter what. You could be in your dream job working as the right hand man/woman to the CEO of your company right now, it doesn't matter, update your resume every three months. You could've won the lottery and sitting on your ass drinking mohitos in the Caribbean, it doesn't matter, update your resume every three months. There are a lot of reasons, here are a handful:
1. Your memory now of now is better than your memory of now in a month. No matter how good your memory is, what you remember now will surely trump what you will be able to recall one, two, or ten years later. You never know when you'll need to pull out the resume so it's always good to have it updated with the freshest information.
2. It's important to chart your progress. If you can't put something new on your resume every three months, you're not doing what you're good at or what you're doing is entirely unremarkable. Every three months you should be able to put something on be it an accomplishment, a new skill, a new award or new something. If you can't, you need to investigate what you've been doing the last three months of your life and figure out if the next three months will be different.
3. People get fired /demoted/transferred out of their dream jobs everyday. You might be in your dream job right now but you might not be your boss' dream candidate – be prepared for that eventuality. Your dream job might turn out to be your nightmare, your dream job might be gone in the next budget cycle, there are a lot of things that could take you away from your dream job. No one ever expects to get fired. It's important to keep the one thing that is constant, you, will be covered in the event you need to find a new job.
4. You may one day want to move on. Your resume is your life's professional work on one single solitary page (or maybe two). It's easier to keep it crisp every three months than it is to dust it off after three years and try to get it sparkling again. What was the name of that small project worked on two years ago?
5. The grass is greener. It really is. QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT.
The bottom line is that one day you and your job will separate and for many of us it won't come with a retirement party, cake, and the obligatory Cracker Jack box watch – be prepared for it.{ 2 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Jimmy, you big (kinda) softy.
On Monday night, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel revealed pictures of his daughter, Jane – who was born on July 10 – though he did so in a decidedly Kimmel-esque manner.
Kimmel announced that on the show's two-week hiatus, he did some painting around the house, grew a beard and, oh yeah, had a baby.
"We had a little girl, we named her after my grandmother – her name is Grandma Kimmel," Jimmy continued. "Here she is with a bow on," he said, cueing another pic. "She's drunk as a skunk right there."
"She weighed 6 lbs., 1 oz. at birth," Kimmel added. "Twenty inches long, just above the legal limit – sometimes, they make you throw them back."
"I've been taking somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 pictures of her a day," Kimmel said, before showing a picture of Jane with her hand over her eyes in the classic "no pictures, please" pose. Said her dad, "She thinks I'm with TMZ now."
Kimmel also has two other children, Kevin, 20, and Katie, 22, from his first marriage to Gina Maddy.

NASA Quest
+ Search Quest
Lizabeth K. "Liza"
Coe, Ph.D.
Spaceward Bound is an incredible opportunity for me to combine my love for exploration and travel with my passion for education and working with teachers!!
For over 25 years now, I've been making my way to NASA Ames Research Center in California nearly every weekday morning – with the exception of a few swing/graveyard shifts and vacations! I began my career designing and developing computer-generated imagery system (CGI) applications for flight simulation at NASA Ames' Vertical Motion Simulator. This work included development of extremely high fidelity imagery for fixed wing and rotorcraft simulation, as well as head-up and head-down displays for the Space Shuttle and military applications. I later focused on incorporating graphic visual displays into wind tunnel data representation.
Prior to the arrival of my two sons I took advantage of every field science experience I could talk my way into. I spent several months on a tiny little island off the Katmai coast in Alaska excavating, identifying and cataloguing artifacts from an Indian civilization thousands of years old. Another favorite was spending a summer (their winter) in Western Australia tracing the Devonian extinction boundary in massive limestone and marble exposed reefs. Wanderlust has led me to spend many months (over time) working in and exploring the desert southwest as well as Alaska and, of course, California.
In 1993, I took leave for one year to attend Stanford's Teacher Education Program (STEP) to earn a Master's in Education as well as teaching credentials in mathematics and computer science. After returning to Ames, I joined the Education Division and focused on the development of teacher education workshops. However, I had been seriously bitten by the academia bug and returned to Stanford's Ph.D. program in Curriculum and Teacher Education, focusing on science education.
My post-Ph.D. research has continued to focus on how teachers leverage informal education experiences inside their classrooms. For my dissertation I was lucky enough to be able to work with teachers who, with their students, participated in weeklong residential camps at the Marin Headlands – part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and one of the components of the environmental education-based NatureBridge organization. While about half of my research time was spent doing classroom observations and interviews, I got to spend the other half hiking around the gorgeous Headlands and learning as much natural science as I could absorb. My Ph.D. minor was in geology, so I got my fill of subduction zone morphology courtesy of the San Andreas Fault that has left its mark in numerous ways on the Headlands. The passion I observed in teachers who are driven to get their students out of the classroom doing real science, and the transformations I've witnessed in teachers and their teaching after Spaceward Bound expeditions, have left me with a renewed enthusiasm to connect teachers with science expeditions and support them in their quest to bring their experiences into the classroom. We utilize the concept of planetary analogs to frame the experience that provides incredibly rich cross-disciplinary content, concepts, processes and skills to support and enhance standards-based curriculum.
My time and energy outside of work is spent being mom to my two explorers-in-training.
I am proud to say that they are world travelers and don't think

Dunkin Donuts - Monaca, PA - Phone: (724) 775-4424
A person who bakes and sells cake is a 'baker' and 'bakery' is an establishment which produces and sells baked goods in Monaca. The dry heat of baking changes the form of starches in the food and causes its outer surfaces to turn brown, giving it an attractive appearance and taste, while partially sealing the food's moisture.
In large factories in Monaca, bakers produce bread and related products which are then transported to numerous selling points throughout a region. These normally include supermarkets, convenience baker stores, and the like. Bakers in Monaca are largely there for quality control, as machines take care of much of the labor intensive aspect of the job.

WAILUKU - It's hard not to be amazed by Jennifer Varner's story of survival.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 while three months pregnant with her fourth child. That year also marked 10 years since her husband, Jeff, had been declared cancer-free after battling colon cancer.
Varner chose to fight the cancer and underwent chemotherapy and multiple surgeries while pregnant. She gave birth to a healthy boy, Kilian, and underwent more chemotherapy treatments.

Jennifer Varner was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 while three months pregnant with her fourth child. She underwent treatment and surgeries while pregnant with son Kilian.
Jennifer and Jeff Varner are pictured with their children. After moving to Maui this year, Jennifer Varner, a breast cancer survivor, is auctioning off a "business in a box" online retail site to benefit The Pacific Cancer Foundation of Maui. She is founder and CEO of pure-ecommerce.com, a company that specializes in creating and selling turnkey online stores.
Today, Varner, 39, is cancer-free and has moved with her family to Maui to continue to heal both emotionally and physically.
"I just needed to get away from everything. I wanted a change, and Maui is just such a healthy, spiritual healing place that I was so attracted here," Varner said.
"I am cancer-free, (and), most importantly, my baby Kilian is perfect. He is a survivor, too; he took that long, hard journey with me," she said. "Through these events, I have gained so much wisdom and strength - more than I ever had, and more than I knew I could gain in a lifetime."
Wanting to give back to the Maui community that she considers her extended ohana, Varner, a successful e-commerce businesswoman, is hosting a special fundraiser this month to benefit The Pacific Cancer Foundation of Maui.
Varner is founder and chief operating officer of pure-ecommerce.com, which specializes in creating and selling turnkey, ready-to-go online retail businesses selling everything from gift items and children's clothing to pet products and home decor. The company travels to trade shows to help select product lines and establish vendor relationships.
To coincide with October being breast cancer awareness month, Varner is auctioning off one of the "business in a box" sites, with all proceeds going to The Pacific Cancer Foundation.
The site up for auction is puresportsgifts.com, which Varner said would normally sell for $6,900. The auction is running all month and ends midnight Oct. 31 at pure-ecommerce.com.
The winning bidder will own the domain name and the designed site with all products preloaded and "drop-shipped," meaning the client will hold no inventory because items will be shipped directly from a vendor to the customer.
Varner said the overhead costs for running the turnkey business would be about $50 a month.
"Anyone in the U.S. or Canada can bid, and you don't have to have any previous e-commerce experience," she said. "We consult with all of our clients in a step-by-step process on how to run an online business. We're notifying bidders every Friday of who the highest bidder is, so you'll have a chance to change your bid if you'd like."
She said that the auction had gotten "quite a few bids" as of late last week.
Varner said that she learned about The Pacific Cancer Foundation after moving to Maui and was impressed with its free-of-charge "patient navigation" program for patients in Maui County.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit the foundation's Fourth Annual Paddle for Life Maui canoe voyage to Lanai and back, which will happen Saturday and Sunday. The event is one of the foundation's main fundraising events and, in turn, supports the patient navigation program.
"This is a unique program," said Jeff Scharnhorst, executive director of the foundation. "Our full-time patient navigator is based at the oncology unit at Maui Memorial Medical Center and meets individually with patients to navigate through patient care on Maui - what do you do, where do you go, who do you talk to, where do you find resources for help. It's free of charge. We don't charge for anything that we do."
Since the program launched in fall 2010, Scharnhorst said it has reached about 500 cancer patients across Maui County.
Varner credited a similar navigation program for helping her.
"When I moved here, I knew that obviously as a survivor there may come a time I may need a doctor or treatment, which is how I learned about the foundation and about their patient navigation program," she said. "For me, when I was diagnosed, I had something similar, and I feel like she really saved my life. If I can support a program like that - that just fulfills me in every way."
Scharnhorst said he was thrilled when approached about the auction donation.
"Talk about inspiring," he said of Varner. "To not only be fearful for your husband's life, but then to be pregnant and be told that you have breast cancer and to have to make that decision and go through chemotherapy treatments and surgery and deliver a healthy baby is nothing short of a miracle.
"And for her to then be so generous to give back," he added. "Here on Maui, she wants to help her local ohana and give back. That's the aloha spirit."
Varner said she's been in the e-commerce industry for 12 years.
She launched an online retail maternity store, bellablumaternity.com, from her home and built it into a multimillion-dollar business within two years.
"When my husband was diagnosed with cancer, we were told we'd never have children. They were wrong. I loved pregnancy, I fell in love with everything maternity-related and wanted to turn that into a business. I felt like going online wouldn't come with the overhead of a brick-and-mortar store and I could stay home with my child and husband. That business just blew up and did amazing."
She later sold the business and became a consultant, launching pure-ecommerce.com five years ago.
Apart from the auction, Varner is also giving away a turnkey business - stylishteeshirts.com - to a breast cancer survivor this month. To enter to win the Survive & Thrive Business Giveaway, visit pure-ecommerce.com.
"I want to give someone the opportunity to look forward to something new and exciting in their life after cancer," she said.

Belk Inc. takes the old adage "Charity begins at home" very seriously.
This story first appeared in the March 18, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
As the Southern department store chain launches its 125th anniversary celebrations, giving back to the communities it serves remains a top priority.
"Giving has been a major focus of Belk since its founding," said Jessica Graham, vice president of community services, explaining that philanthropy was a focus of founder William Henry Belk, grandfather of chief executive officer Tim Belk and president and chief operating officer John Belk, when he the company was created in 1888. Dr. John Belk, William Henry's brother, joined the business in 1891.
"When we went thorough the rebranding process a few years ago, charitable giving was reiterated as one of our core values," said Graham, who oversees the company's charitable giving and program development.
RELATED STORY: Belk: The Master Plan >>
Two years ago, the retailer pledged to give 2.5 percent of pretax income, which came to $5 million in fiscal 2012 and $6.2 million in fiscal 2013, back to the communities in which it operates stores. Prior to that announcement, the majority of the tax-exempt charitable funds went to the Belk Foundation, which lists as one of its goals closing the education gap and reducing high school dropout rates. In addition, the foundation aims to inspire more young people to have an intentional path after high school. The foundation's predecessor, the John M. Belk Memorial Fund, was founded in 1928 when Dr. Belk died at age 62.
Belk, along with its associates and vendors, donated $19 million in fiscal 2013 to the foundation.
Education, breast cancer research and awareness and organizations that strengthen the community, such as United Way, are among the beneficiaries of Belk's largesse. The three causes hit close to home.
Belk last Monday kicked off a $2 million partnership with a community service organization called Points of Light as part of its anniversary celebration. The effort will continue for 125 days. "We'll bring our modern Southern style to schools in each of our markets and do makeovers, including painting, landscaping and building benches and bookcases," Graham said. "We'll do more than 200 makeovers."
Belk wants employees to give more than lip service to its projects. "It's our goal that all 23,000 of our associates will participate in some sort of education project," Graham said. "Every makeover has a standard [to-do] list. Today we installed playground equipment. There may be some schools that don't need that but need something else. Our associates are doing the labor and are being asked to fill each bookcase with 125 volumes."
School principals will even get a once-over. Belk has offered to give them in-store makeovers that include apparel, makeup and hair styling.
One often-overlooked area that Belk would like to address is providing school uniforms for at-risk children. Belk last year donated 5,000 new uniforms to children in Charlotte, N.C., and Jackson, Miss. Graham said the program, now in its third year, will be expanded to a third market.
"You think of them needing food, pens and paper," Graham said. "We found a real need. The first year we literally pulled them out of our inventory. We now order them from a vendor that ships them directly to schools for us."
Breast cancer affects Belk's customers a well as its employees. The retailer wanted to do something tangible, so it invested $6 million to build a mobile mammography center. Unveiled in December and launched in January, the mobile center will travel to each of Belk's 116 markets, providing free mammograms to customers and associates. "We selected breast cancer research and awareness [as a cause] three years ago," Graham said. "There's a lot of passion from our associates and customers around the disease. There's solid reasoning and personal passion behind the choice."
Belk has made a multiunit commitment to the mobile center. "We branded it with a giant pink shoe and the words 'Belk Gives on the Go,'" Graham said. "We've had it on the road for a month, and it's been phenomenally well received. We do a big public relations push and in-store signage" before rolling into a city, Graham said, adding that the vehicle can do 32 mammograms a day. To coincide with the mobile center's visits, Belk has started doing bra fittings in stores.
The mammograms are interpreted by a board-certified radiologist. "If a follow-up is needed, they track the results," Graham said. "We may buy an additional [mobile] unit. Certainly it's on our radar. It's a significant investment."
The mobile unit isn't Belk's only investment on the medical front. The retailer last year funded The Belk Boutique at the new Duke Cancer Center in Durham, N.C. The boutique, which provides cancer patients with hats, scarves, accessories and jewelry, represents a $1 million investment over several years.
Innovation is another one of the linchpins of Belk's philanthropy. Recently, the retailer unveiled a multiyear commitment to the Belk College of Business at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte of $5 million to fund several professorships.
"We're funding a professor of innovation," Graham said. "Innovation is important to the company. We're also funding a professorship of analytics in customer data, a fascinating, new and growing field, and an endowed chair in marketing analytics." Donations will support the Belk Scholars Program, which will develop undergraduates for careers in analytics.
While Belk likes to keep its good deeds in its own backyard, it saw the need to venture to the Northeast this past fall. "We always give several hundred thousand dollars to the United Way across our footprint," Graham said. "We also gave $100,000 to the Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief. We have so many vendors and customer and associates who have families there."

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa - All eyes, or at least most them, were on a pair of young Hawkeyes when the Prime Time League tipped off its 27th season Thursday night here at the Recreation Center.
Mike Gesell and Peter Jok delivered for a packed house.
Jok, an incoming freshman from West Des Moines, smoothly dropped in 35 points. He showed off his silky outside shot by knocking down five three pointers but also displayed an ability to get to the basket and handle the ball.
Gesell struggled with his shot but showed no ill effects from a stress reaction in his foot that slowed him considerably at the end of last season. Thursday represented the first time the sophomore from Nebraska had played five-on-five since the end of his first campaign with the Hawkeyes.
Gesell talked about the injury and the recovery right here in this video interview from Wednesday night.
While his shot proved inconsistent, Gesell managed 28 points and dished out 11 assists in a victory against Aaron White's team. White put up 29 points and 14 boards.
Jok enjoyed a a stretch in the first half that saw him knock down four three-pointers in a row. After some initial nervousness, he settled in well. His shot looked pure.
While Gesell and Jok likely will grab the headlines from Thursday night due to their story lines, Jarrod Uthoff looked the most impressive of all Hawkeyes I saw. He connected from three, drove people to the hole and exhibited a mid-range game as a 6-foot-8 forward. He finished with an economical 26 points and 10 rebounds.
Uthoff's team downed a squad led by Jok and Adam Woodbury (32 points, 16 boards). Anthony Clemmons added 23 points, six rebounds and five assists to the winning effort and shot the ball very well.
The only bad part of the night for Uthoff was that the name on the back of his jersey read "Utoff."
Zach McCabe (22 points, 11 boards) and Gabe Olaseni (19, 12) helped their team to a win against one led by Roy Devyn Marble (29 points, six rebounds, five assists). Marble's unit only had six players.
I recently bought a new camera to hopefully add some amateurish still shots for fans to view. Here is a gallery from opening night.

Hi guys,
I started developing a MythMe application, which browses your recordings and compares them with recordings from other users, in order to make suggestions on shows which may be interresting for you (because other users similar to you recorded them). You might know this behaviour from several online shops or commercial digital video recorders.
All data is absolutely anonymous, and everything you get at the current state is a text-based suggestion at command line. In the next version, this data will be used to mark recordings according to your EPG with different priority.
It would be really nice if some of you would test the script and post the results here. With more and more users participating, the results might get better and better.
In order to run the script, the following additional perl modules are required:
* Data::GUID
* SOAP::Lite
You can install these modules using "cpan -i <modulname>". Download the script from http://www.andreas-fey.com/downloads/mythme.txt, rename it to mythme.pl and execute (perl mythme.pl).
Thanks in advance and have a nice week,
El Duduerino

BELLEVILLE - Sunday's Big Valley Minor League Super Series game had everything that a championship game should have: nail-biting endings, strong defense mixed in with heads up play at the plate, and of course, a little battle with the weather.
Add all that and the fact that there was an underdog in the McVeytown Reds, and you have all the ingredients to a nerve-racking classic title tilt at Belleville.
In the end, it was the Reds who outlasted the regular season champion Belleville Phillies, 9-8.

Sentinel photo by BUFFIE BOYER
Belleville's Raife Spickler, right, slides safely into home plate as McVeytown's Nick Moist catches the ball Sunday at the Minor League Super Series championship game in Belleville.
"We're always happy with the way the kids played all year," McVeytown coach Chris Gill said. "We know whenever we get on base we're in good shape because we run real well. We are really smart for this age group of how to play the game fundamentally sound. We know when we do that (it) will carry us through the game. We had a great season. The Phillies had a great season and they ended up as regular season champions. It was nice we got the Super Series title."
Going into the top of the sixth inning, the Phillies found themselves down by two runs, 9-7. However, the Belleville offense made one last chance at trying to tie it up or go ahead.
Dalton Brouillette came in to save the contest for the Reds after Eli Pennebaker kept the Phillies in check in the fourth and fifth.
Brouillette got the first out with the first batter he faced. As the inning progressed, the rain started to come down harder and harder.
Belleville used that to its advantage as Quinn Renno, Sheldon Fleming and Zachary Snook loaded the bases on three consecutive walks.
The Reds' reliever struck out his next batter, making it two outs with the bases loaded with Phillies.
Cameron Fleming picked up an RBI walk, cutting the McVeytown lead to just one run, 9-8.
Defensively, McVeytown held tough, forcing the final batter to ground out to the first baseman, giving the Reds the victory.
"Our pitching has been phenomenal all year round but today it seemed like the zone was off. I don't know if it was the weather or not. But we rode our pitching hard all year," Belleville coach Charles McConaughey said. "We finished the season as regular season champs and we actually beat them the first two times we played them in the regular season. But I just can't say enough about the coaches we have. We also have the greatest parents. I don't know what we would do without them."
Leading the way offensively for the Phillies were Luke Lyter, who picked up two RBIs on a single, and teammate Zachary Snook, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with an RBI.
In the second, the Phillies collected two runs. Snook doubled to right field and later stole third.
With two outs, Bryson Yoder picked up an RBI single, scoring Snook to make it 1-0.
After stealing second base and then third, Yoder made his way home on a Reds error, ending the scoring at 2-0.
McVeytown got on the scoreboard next, picking up five runs in the second inning. Leading off the inning was Dylan Brouillette, who reached first on a base-on-balls.
Landon Johnson followed with a single, putting runners on first and second. With one out, Evan Crosson loaded the bases, taking a walk for himself and setting the stage for leadoff hitter, Tucker Gill.
Gill's patience at the plate paid off as he picked up an RBI walk for the Reds' first run. Then the RBIs starting coming as Logan Stimely, C.J. Gill, Eli Pennepacker, and Dalton Brouillette all picked up RBI base-on-balls, taking the lead for the first time at 5-2.
In the third, the Phillies showed why they were regular season champions as they rallied back for five runs of their own, taking the lead for the second time. This time Belleville led 7-5.
Sparking the scoring drive were Raife Spickler and Luke Lyter, who both picked up clutch singles. Lyter's single brought in two runs.
Scoring in the inning were Manny Espinoza, Connor Beechel, Spickler, Darren Peachey and Lyter.
However, McVeytown bounced back with three runs in the bottom of the inning and then one in the fifth, en route to the one-run victory.

With thousands of people visiting Jersey shorelines, touring state and national parks, and fishing our lakes, streams and rivers, it is more important than ever to keep the state clean.
Did you know that street litter can end up in our waterways? As such, we're concerned with water quality throughout New Jersey, including the Passaic, Hackensack and Raritan rivers, as well as Newark Bay.
I recently saw a young man drop a used plastic bottle on the street — a single piece of trash that meant nothing to him and sadly to many around him. But if the unconcerned could fit inside that bottle, travel with it through the storm drains and experience its ultimate impact on our residents, animals and sealife, they might all take an extra second to put their trash where it belongs.
The hundreds of thousands of cans, bottles, packaging and other garbage that wash through our storm drains — and eventually into the ocean — have contributed to the world's expanding ocean garbage patches, some at least the size of Texas, 80 percent of it plastic. Plastic, in particular, never breaks down entirely. It is mistaken for food by animals, finds its way onto our own dinner tables and is washing ashore as "plastic sand."
Want to do more? The New Jersey Clean Communities Council sponsors the state's Adopt-a-Beach program: Individuals and groups can "adopt" and commit to keep clean portions of a beach, bay, river, lake and/or other waterway. Planning also is under way (see njclean.org) for New Jersey residents to partake in International Coastal Cleanup Day on Sept. 17.
Stop whatever trash you can from traveling from our streets to storm drains to the ocean.
Sandy Huber is the executive director of the New Jersey Clean Communities Council.

Garrett W. Ellwood/NBAE/Getty Images
The Denver crowd lustily booed Serge Ibaka when he pounded his chest Saturday after big plays in the Pepsi Center. Russell Westbrook received a similar reaction after a demonstrative display. Comment sections and message boards on Denver sports websites and blogs are aflame — as comment sections and message boards tend to be anyway — with criticism of Thunder players' emotional outbursts.
Maybe they have a point.
First, I must state that in no way do I want the Thunder players to stop being demonstrative during emotional moments. Because I love it. I love Kevin Durant's primal scream after dunks. I love when Westbrook or anyone else does the same. I love when Ibaka beats his chest or does Air Congo. I love it when Westbrook does his six-shooters routine or James Harden puts three fingers toward the floor when they hit a three. I love Nate Robinson's wild gyrations and choreographed celebrations following just about anything positive that happens for Oklahoma City.
But I also recognize that if I make a list of NBA players in my head towards whom I have the most negative feelings, they tend to be the demonstrative types. Joakim Noah. Chris Andersen. Kevin Garnett. Jason Terry. And not only to those guys tend to be demonstrative, but that's also the main reason I tend to dislike them. I don't even really know why that matters.
(The closest equivalent I can think of stretches back to my OU days when, along with every other Sooner fanatic I know, it was automatic that we hated any white basketball player for Texas. Brian Boddicker and Brad Buckman, I'm looking at you and your alliterative names.)
Perhaps the Denver fans are just bitter that the Nuggets are down 3-0 in a series they expected to be more competitive. But their criticism of the Thunder players took me aback, mainly because that's pretty rare to see so far. [quote]
The Thunder has emerged as the team that lots of folks have made their second-favorite after their own team. People seem to enjoy Oklahoma City's style of play, the wholesome character displayed by the players and the "anti-Heat" vibe that comes from them. Other than those dimwits wearing Seattle SuperSonics gear who heckled the Thunder from prime seats at the Pepsi Center on Saturday, just about everyone who likes the NBA likes the Thunder too.
And you know what? I like that. I like being emotionally invested in the team that few people hate. I like hearing warm and fuzzy comments from media talking heads and regular people when they talk about the Thunder. I like the image that the team has that fits so well with what the Oklahoma City community would want from its team. I like that OKC doesn't elicit boos and outright sports hate from opposing crowds like the Lakers and Heat.
Maybe the Nuggets series is a sign that this may not last very long. It's easier to feel good about someone else's team when they aren't a true threat. If the Thunder advances far in this year's playoffs and then turns into the annual contender most people expect they'll be, people may not feel the same way about them. I don't think they'll ever be as loathed as Miami is now, but the voices of those who don't like Oklahoma City may begin to multiply.
And the chest-beating, screaming and other demonstrative behavior appears to be contributing to that possible trend. When you're mad because someone just posterized your favorite player in a big moment, it probably makes it worse if the guy then pops off a little bit. I wanted to scream Dec. 27 when Terry and Tyson Chandler were beating their chests in the closing moments of a Dallas win in Oklahoma City. I can see why Denver fans are upset right now with the youngsters on the Thunder.
But … I don't really care. Haters gonna hate. The rest of us appreciate. Thirteen wins from the promised land.

Tartan skirts
It's polyester tartan fabric I bought in Glasgow to make a knockoff of a Yohji Yamamoto dress I saw years ago. I can't really remember what the original looked like, but my plan is to morph the bodice of Vogue 8143 (line art below) and a full skirt from some other pattern.
I had originally been thinking of using the skirt from the new Vogue 8701 but yesterday I realised that I already own Vogue 8633 which comes with an option for a very full skirt. Here's the line art
Now I'm just wondering how to lay the pattern pieces out on the fabric.
There is a seam down the centre front of the skirt although the line art doesn't show it. The skirt is a full circle skirt made from four identical pieces. The pattern piece has the straight grain line running parallel to the centre front and centre back seams.
I wonder if it's advisable to try to cut the front out on a fold to avoid having to match the pattern on the centre front seam. I have quite a lot of fabric to play with (it was cheap!) but clearly not enough to cut an enormous circle skirt out twice.
I think it makes sense for the centre front of the skirt to be on the straight grain of the fabric regardless of whether there's a seam or not. That way the skirt will contrast with the bias cut bodice. However I've been Googling for pictures of tartan circle skirts and most of the ones I have found don't work like that. They have a centre front seam but cut so that the fabric is on the bias at the seam. I did find one picture where the grain was positioned the way I'm intending and it didn't look obviously wrong, but I wonder if there's something I'm missing here. Insights most welcome!

I can't really help you too much either. Like you said, all the RTW plaid skirts I've seen are as you said. Good luck and can't wait to see the final outcome!
I can't imagine why you couldn't cut the front on the fold. I'm guessing the back, which is identical, has to have a seam to accommodate a zipper and they just didn't want to print another pattern piece for the front. If you do cut on the fold, don't forget to remove the center front seam allowance first!
Browsing through one of my old dressmaking books I came across a chapter dedicated to circle skirts. It advises that if the two seams are to be at the centre-front and back, the fabric should be soft and heavy so that it falls well over the hips. Maybe the answer to your question has something to do with how the fabric falls? It also advises to let the skirt hang before hemming it and make a small hem so it does not pull on the garment, but you already know that I'm sure! Good luck with it, I'll be following you!

Book Review: Scammed by Christopher Elliott
|Email Print
Scammed is a book that will teach you two things:
- Educate you on the "scams" and "Scams" of the world,
- Teach you how to get better service and better deals.
According to author Christopher Elliott, a consumer advocate, lowercase scams are those scams that are obvious to the naked eye once you cut through the deception. Someone panhandling for money with a sob story about how they ran out of gas is a lowercase scam. A guy in a Santa suit outside the mall with no actual charitable affiliation is a lowercase scam. Uppercase Scams are those that are just ripoffs but 100% legal. He calls gift cards scams (I hate gift cards so I'm inclined to agree) and fake going out of business sales (my personal favorite is when they call it "going out (for) your business" sales) uppercase Scams.
While those seem "obvious," Elliott goes into greater detail into some of the more subtle ways businesses manipulate consumers and the environment to get the result they want. Here's one that I'm sure you're familiar with – the Walled Garden. If you have an iPhone, you live in a walled garden. You want an app? You have to get it through the Appstore, where Apple gets a cut. If you don't want to pay an exorbitant amount for the unit itself, sign up for a two year contract with one of their partner carriers. Walled Gardens limit choice and flexibility, two of a consumer's most valuable weapons.
The fun part about this book is learning about the different things businesses do to alter the world around us. There is an anecdote in the book about when Elliott did consulting for a hotel chain and they paid for part of it with a lifetime frequent-guest membership and half a million points. He said he lived like a king, getting great upgrades and free stuff, but felt bad for "regular" folks who weren't quite so lucky. It's in the chapter titled The Price of Loyalty.
Overall, I thought the book was entertaining but I just got the feel that everything seemed so jaded and cynical. I think it's educational for someone to understand all the tactics and techniques but I was left feeling overanalytical about things. It's like his story about getting half a million points and all these perks – his thought was focused on how he didn't get that the other times he stayed at a hotel despite being available. Book definitely had great information but it left me feeling bitter. 🙂{ 9 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

I am still waiting for a call back to set up an appointment for a series of tests!!!!!
Dr Para talked down to me and treated me as though he was angry that I was his patient. He did not give me any post surgery care advice, but sent me home with little knowledge on what to expect. After much pain and a difficult recovery, I regret the surgery.
This man ruined my life. Told me I was very ill, needed emergency surgery, then made me wait a week. Totally botched my surgery, I vomited every day for two years until another surgeon fixed what he messed up. His nurse was rude and not knowledgable . He couldn't care less about me post operatively. He caused me so much pain and suffering. Do not put your life in his hands,
This office seems only interested in collecting your copay and billing your insurance for an office visit. Expect a long wait as they schedule many patients for the exact same time. Getting the doctor to spend time on the issue at hand was difficult. I left this office feeling insulted.
He did a great job with my surgery,He listens and he take care of you. I will recommend him anytime even though the follow up was weak
To be honest this is a very good doctor he to a operation on me because i have diverticulaires i but my live in this hands i recommend this doctor if you have a problem like i have is best he know a lot he explain to me everything and take me step by step i recommend we my eyes close trust me
Had an ileostomy reversal...If I had to do it again, I would pick him. He was amazing and my results are great.
This doctor is a miracle worker. No one locally was able to repair a previously botched hernia operation so I traveled nearly 200 miles to be his patient. When I went to him, I had a grossly disfigured stomach with multiple scars. When he completed his surgery, I was delighted to see only one neat and tidy scar! When I had an emergency during my recovery at home, I called their office and was put through to a doctor and was seen in their office the next day. I believe Dr. Parra-Davila's poor ratings may be based on his reserved personality. After my first visit, I told my boyfriend that I wasn't sure I felt comfortable with him, to which my boyfriend replied that I was not using him for his personality but for his surgical skills. That certainly put everything in perspective. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family.
He is clear and explains everything so I can understand. I would recommend him to my mother, father, or anyone who needs an excellent surgeon!
Dr Parra Davila had a poor bedside manner. He only came once a week maybe. Had me return to the hospital once and knew he was leaving out of the country for a conference and would not be able to see me for a week. I lived 3 hours away and was in sever pain. Was sent home unable to eat or stop retching. When I would ask a question he would shush me and would sneak out of the room to avoid answering questions. Altered the medical report to suggest failures were my fault. when I became ill and was too far away to drive to him, he forbid any other doctor to treat me or even make me comfortable. I felt like his lab rat.I am 100% worst than when I went in. I am deformed and can barely function. A life with my Grandchildren is a past dream.
My mother is a patient of this surgeon and I have to say he's awful. He saw her in the hospital, made it sound like the surgery she needed was a dire emergency yet he let it wait for close to a week. On the day of the surgery he came out afterwards to talk to my father and I about the surgery. He looked at my father the entire time he was talking, did not introduce himself to me but held out his hand for me to shake. He's horrible with patients and their families. He used a medical term my father didn't know and when he asked for clarification he used the very term to define what he meant. My mother went back for her follow up and is still experiencing the same symptoms she had before the surgery and he showed no concern. He has a horrible bedside manner, he's a slob, and I don't trust him. I didn't trust him before my mother's surgery and since her health problems seem to still be there I trust him less.
Fantastic!!! Great Guy
Dr Parra did an outstanding job for me. I had a small bowel resection, and he was able to do the procedure laproscopically - which was noted as extremely difficult.I would travel to Orlando for him if I ever need another resection.
I recommend to you get 2nd opinion. He is not clear answering question or bring all information patient need. He is rude and unprofessional.

UPDATE: Kalamazoo travelers ask, "Now what?"
KALAMAZOO -- Ouch. There went Spring Break.
In a statement posted on its web site this afternoon, Direct Air public charter airlines announced that is is suspending all flights through May 15, to "address operational matters."
The public charter offers discount flights out of Kalamazoo.
Customers are encouraged to contact their credit card companies for refunds, the statement said.
That comes as cold comfort to folks who had planned to take their children to Florida for vacation at the end of the month, or for those who have already purchased theme park tickets or invested in other travel accommodations.
The airline, not scheduled to fly out of Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International airport again until Thursday, carried a plane full of passengers to Orlando without incident, airport director Cliff Moshoginis said.
No word yet on how they will get back.
"Unfortunately, folks are going to need to find other arrangements," said Moshoginis.
Bill Mosely, public affairs specialist for the US Department of Transportation, said that "as a condition of approving its public charter program, Myrtle Beach Direct Air established an escrow account to make refunds to passengers if necessary," and that the agency is checking into the situation.
Charters such as Direct Air are under DOT's Office of the Secretary of Transportation, which oversees economic regulation of aviation. The Federal Aviation Agency's role is safety regulations.
In terms of the abruptness of the cancellations, "I don't think I've ever seen this before," Moshoginis said, at least not since he's been working on the airport side.
"It's probably not the best way to handle it," said Moshoginis, who added that he hoped the two months would give Direct Air time to get their business affairs in order. "But it's a peak time right now."
For those who had purchased tickets with Direct Air, Moshoginis said the airport's website will have links to information and, if they'd like, people can leave an email and "we can keep them updated, as we get further information."
Here's Direct Air's statement in its entirety:
Direct Air finds it necessary to suspend flight operation from Tuesday, March 13, 2012, until May 15, 2012. This decision was made to address operational matters. We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives for Direct Air.
Direct Air is committed to our passengers, employees, and the communities we serve.
Passengers holding reservations for Direct Air flights departing between Tuesday, March 13, 2012 and Tuesday, May 15, 2012 are directed to contact their credit card company to arrange for a refund.
Please check back here for more details.
Very Truly Yours,
Direct Air

This program is perfect for sifting through huge video libraries which may be un-organized and contain duplicates. I have a huge collection spread out over several drives which I have not been keeping organizing and this tool allow me to save tons of storage space.
The program is easy to work with, doest the job nicely and presents the found duplicates in an intuitive and easy to use fashion. The only issue I see is with the price for the expert version being out of the question for most folks.
Video Comparer downloaded, installed, and works great.
Thanks for the quick response
Thanks 'irqthecat' for the feedback of the download problem with Norton Internet Security.
Symantec has validated the file, and you can now use it.
Just downloaded 1.05. Norton Internet Security deleted it, WS.Reputation.1. Seems its not been rated yet by the Norton community.
Great product!!! Definitely the best, so easy to use (2 clicks), simple GUI. I got good results : 83 duplicates of my 1379 videos.
Highly recommended.
Updating my previous post. I have now bought the Expert Edition and find this tool excellent. To my knowledge it has found most, but not quite all, of my duplicates. Would recommend.
So my original comment was negative but this developer contacted me and has really worked to fix the issues. So I only feel its fair to give credit where credit is due.
I have 4tb of video some downloaded through torrents some I rip myself from DVD's. In those 4tb are some 4000+ videos. This program was able to find over 800 duplicates and save me some MAJOR hard drive space.
Thank you for listening, thank you for helping out. I have been recommending your software to everyone I come across!
Thank you for listening to comments. I expect I will buy this new "Expert" edition when it is released, and when I do I will update my rating scores.
New 'Expert Edition' (30) with 5000 video files limit, will be available during the month of March.
The 'Home Edition' limit will increase to 1500 files.
Agree with previous poster. Effectively will do what I need, but at 100US$ for my requirements prices itself well out of my market. I'll put up with my duplicates and spend my money on other things.
So contrary to the post that says the trail worked for him the evaluation software is WORTHLESS.
If you download it it will allow you to scan up to 500 videos for dups. Unfortunately after the scanning process is done all it does is show you that there are duplicates but then locks you out of being able to do ANYTHING with them. you can't view them delete them nor can you even see what their name is or where on your drive they are located.
So they force you to spend at least 20 euros which is $27 US and that only allows you to scan 1020 files!
So the software works I have run it about 10 times and its been stable every time. I unfortunately have about 2000 videos on 1 2tb hard drive and stuck not being able to find my dups because of the 1000 file limit they place within the software.
Want it unlocked? 100 euros or almost $140 US.
so does it work? sure if your willing to spend $140
By default Video Comparer scans videos with a duration between 2 minutes and 8 hours. If it's not the case, the message 'Video parameters out of range' is displayed, and these files are not analyzed. The duration can be ajusted in 'Advanced' window, but 2 minutes is the minimum.
Downloaded and installed the free version last night. Nice that there is a 64-bit version. My ratings are neutral until I work some more with it. Ran several scans in standard mode. It did find some exact duplicates and some near duplicates. Its different from the 'DuplicateVideoSearch' discussed in the forums, but not necessarily better. One error noted is that a number of files were "outside video parameters" even though they were all .avi, same resolution, and all made with VideoGet. Will expermiment some more. The free edition has limted features, home paid edition has more. The Pro edition has some very desirable features, but the price is outside my budget at the time. Pro is 100 Euro (121 USD)

The relationship between teacher and student is the foundation of the academic mission of the University. This relationship vests considerable trust in the teacher, who, in turn, bears the responsibility to serve as mentor, educator, and evaluator. In discharging this responsibility, teachers are accountable for behaving in a manner that reflects the highest levels of professional responsibility, recognizes the dignity and worth of each person at the University, and protects the integrity of the student-teacher relationship.
Teacher-student relationships carry risks of conflict of interest, breach of trust, abuse of power, and breach of professional ethics. For these reasons, teachers must not engage in any consensual sexual relationships with a student while the teacher is in a position of supervisory academic authority with respect to the student. Nor may a teacher assert any supervisory academic authority with respect to a student who was the subject of a previous consensual sexual relationship. This prohibition extends to consensual sexual relationships between a graduate or professional student and an undergraduate when the graduate or professional student has some supervisory academic responsibility for the undergraduate, to consensual sexual relationships between department Chairs and students in that department, to consensual sexual relationships between graduate advisors, Program Directors, and all others (each of whom is considered a teacher) who have supervisory academic responsibility for a student and that student.
When a teacher-student consensual sexual relationship exists, has previously existed, or develops, the teacher must decline to participate in any evaluative or supervisory academic activity with respect to the student.
The deans, department Chairs, and other administrators should respond to reports of prohibited sexual relationships by inquiring further and, if such reports appear to be accurate, initiating appropriate disciplinary action or remedial measures against the teacher involved. Egregious breach of this policy is adequate cause for termination under paragraph 12(C) of the Statement of Principles Governing Faculty Relationships.
Non-consensual sexual relationships are prohibited by the non-discriminatory harassment policy.

My Extra is ready for its maiden. The Exceed Rc rocket is replaced. Their was something more wrong with it than just vibration. The first one maxed at 235 watts. The new one is hitting 635 watts. That should hover it with a decent pull out.
My pilot figure from my Venus II is the perfect size. The Venus went through a major rehab last winter. It's no longer a Venus. Doc might remember that plane. I just need to replace my antenna on my trusty 9303 and the Extra is going up.
I have been wanting to tint the canopy on my 78". That massive clear canopy just needs something. What about thee ol' rite dye technique. Anyone have any experience with that? I considered just pouring it in and letting it sit over night and carefully siphoning it back out careful not to get it on the wood. Just a thought.
Managed to shatter my spinner while doing a lomcevak/crankshaft. Came in with pretty good speed and about half way through the first tumble, I heard a loud bang. At the time I had no idea what it was, but the plane was still responding, so I bought it down immediately. Here is the result.
All the screws are still firmly attached and there had been no vibration previously. Happened on about the 35th flight on this airframe. Very odd, but no biggie, new spinner is on order.
That's normally a result of overtightening the bolts that hold the cone on, and the violent manuever was the stress that put it over the edge. I have actually had this happen to me too, but mine blew off in a blender.
Glad to see you're flying it hard.
Those are great spinners, but you have to be careful to not overtighhten the cones. They are just plastic. I want to crank down on the things, but I've pulled a couple apart. I've learned to go just a little past snug and that works fine.

Right I'm pretty much finished! Just need to install the elevator servo and pushrods + rudder pushrods, and after I've done the throws and wired all the servos up nicely I'm done
I really like this Kontronik Koby 55 LV ESC. Whilst it is very expensive, the way it is programmed via the Kontronik Prog.Disc is super cool One feature I found very useful is throttle calibration. On my Castle ESCs, setting up a manual throttle curve is a little bit more complicated + slow, having to plug it in to the computer, selecting 'manual' throttle curve, then going through the series of beeps by adjusting the end points. On this Koby with the ProgDisc, it's really simple; you just plug the ESC into the ProgDisc and plug the ProgDisc into your receiver, select throttle stick, then just click max throttle and raise your throttle stick on your TX, then select minimum throttle and just lower the throttle stick on your TX. Takes at most 15 seconds Another thing which is really cool is that when the throttle response is set to 'Very Hard', the motor is incredibly sharp and responsive I really like the Castle's throttle response when set to 10, but I'd say this is actually even more responsive Should make the plane fly great
The MKS DS95 servos seem to be working well The only thing is that due to their increased depth you need to expand the servo slots. Not necessarily a problem but once you do slide them in you'll find they wobble a bit forward and back. It makes it near impossible to catch a proper thread in the wood. What I've down is fill the wood with some CA and screwed into it once it was set. Additionally, I've put some hot glue on the top of the servo case + put some cross weave tape on top. Looks a bit tacky but not too bad Most importantly if I do ever have to take the servos out, I can, unlike if I were to stick them down with just CA (well I probably could if I just used CA but it would be harder, haha! )

The Jakarta Post
Jakarta: Representatives of congregations from two churches in Bogor and Bekasi, West Java, have reported the local police to the Indonesian Ombudsman for ignoring their complaints.
Bona Sigalingging, spokesman of the Bogor's GKI Yasmin church, said the city police had ignored at least three reports lodged by GKI Yasmin congregants since February 2010 without clear reason.
"They don't follow up on our reports, even the ones that have enough preliminary evidence," he said at a meeting with Ombudsman members in Jakarta on Monday.
Bona said the congregation had reported Bogor administration secretary Bambang Gunawan and Public Order Agency chief Bambang Budianto to the police for sealing off the church in May 2010.
But the police had not followed up on the report.
Meanwhile, Bekasi's HKBP Filadelfia congregation also reported the police for not following up on their complaints, including one of threats to kill a priest. AKBP Filadelfia Rev. Palti Panjaitan said that Bekasi Police had begun to process the reports by summoning witnesses, but none of the cases had been solved or brought to court.
Since 2010, GKI Yasmin has been unable to conduct services after the city administration revoked a permit that it had previously issued, while HKBP Filadelfia could not build its church as local residents resisted its presence. However, both GKI Yasmin and HKBP Filadelfia have since won in legal proceedings. Ombudsman member Budi Santoso said that his institution would summon the police to ask why the reports were not followed up.
Budi said that the Ombudsman received almost 6,000 complaints about the police every year, making it the second most complained about institution.

Late last night, an article was published in an Israeli newspaper claiming that Pepsi (NYSE: PEP ) would bid nearly $2 billion to buy SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA ) , at around a 40% premium to the stock's previous close. In the video below, Motley Fool consumer-goods analyst Blake Bos gives investors the blow-by-blow on SodaStream's ensuing share price chaos, as shares first skyrocketed, then fell tumultuously, when Pepsi's CEO came out with a statement that the story was totally and completely untrue. Blake also highlights why this roller coaster could be more evidence that SodaStream is a real threat to the giants of the soda industry, after all.
SodaStream's carbonation technology sounds simple, but this razor-and-blade company offers an intriguing opportunity for growth that could very well disrupt the soda industry. The Motley Fool's premium report on SodaStream explains the opportunities as well as the risks in the company. The report comes with a year's worth of updates, so just click here to get started.

A man who grabbed a woman's necklace on a Union City street yesterday never had a chance, police said.
The 34-year-old Guttenberg resident was chased down by witnesses, roughed up and held at gunpoint for police by an FBI agent who happened to be in the area, police said today.
Juan Machado, of 68th Street, was arrested around 10 a.m. at Bergenline Avenue and 42nd Street and charged with robbery and aggravated assault, Union City Police Chief Charles Everett said.
Police found Machado on the ground and the female FBI agent, who was not named, was standing over him, gun drawn, reports said.
The cops cuffed Machado and the agent told them he was being chased by two men who fought with him as he tried to get away and said she thought he may have committed a crime down the street, reports said.
The officer found the victim, a 57-year-old Union City woman, and she said Machado grabbed her, twisted her neck and took her gold chain and charm, reports said. She screamed and as he ran north on Bergenline and witnesses chased and stopped him near 42nd street, reports said.
That's where Machado began fighting with the men in an attempt to get away and the agent took out her gun, reports said.
The victim was treated at the scene by emergency medical technicians, reports said, adding that her chain was recovered. When police processed Machado they found there was an open warrant for his arrest out of Guttenberg, reports said.
