Chef Ashton comes to Erie on Friday
Foodies, it's time to gather at the Bayfront Convention Center.
Chef Jon Ashton will visit, cook and chat on Friday, as part of Dash magazine's Dash Around The Table show, sponsored by the Erie Times-News. The demonstration starts at 7:30 p.m.
He'll show off his cooking techniques and offer kitchen tricks, as well as recipes for simple dishes designed for busy families.
Ashton, a chef for 20 years, grew up in Liverpool, England, worked his way through culinary school and moved to America. He now serves as the food correspondent for the nationally syndicated morning show "The Daily Buzz." Parade magazine and Dash readers will also recognize him.
Ashton's been on the "Today" show and "Tonight Show," and he's met two presidents.
He's also more interested in helping home cooks get comfortable in the kitchen -- just cooking for their families -- than he is in serving up fancy meals in expensive restaurants.
Ashton, now based in Chicago, has appeared on TV with Paula Deen and Martha Stewart, and he's also hung out with celebrities such as actor Vince Vaughn.
But don't call him a celebrity chef. "I'm just in it for the food," he recently told Parade. Fresh ingredients are vital for Ashton, who admits to "being in my mid-30s."
His interest in food goes back to his grandmother, now deceased, whom he fondly calls "Granny Ashton," as he talks about her big, friendly kitchen.
When an older brother made Ashton his personal punching bag, Granny Ashton invited him into her kitchen. "She had been through two world wars and she was always cooking for the neighbors," the personable Ashton said.
"Granny really turned me on to cooking," he said. "She always made it fun -- an adventure -- and I still enjoy cooking for the neighbors, as she did."
Ashton's Erie show is put on by Dash, the food magazine that appears in the Erie Times-News on the first Wednesday of each month.
Attendees at Friday's show can enter to win prizes from Dash partners and local businesses and restaurants. Everyone gets a "goody bag" full of free samples.
The event also includes the opportunity to shop booths of fun kitchen stuff in the expo that runs 5 to 7:30 p.m.

A 73-year-old man with a history of anti-Semitism is suspected of shooting dead three people at two separate Jewish facilities in Kansas on Sunday.
Frazier Glenn Cross, also known as F. Glenn Miller, was recorded by a television crew shouting "Heil Hitler" after his arrest for the attack on the eve of the Passover holiday.
The attacker, armed with a shotgun, handgun and possibly an assault weapon, fired at five people outside Overland Park Jewish community centre in Kansas City and Village Shalom, a retirement facility in the city.
Two of the victims were killed at the community centre — William

The Citadels leading tackler, linebacker Carl Robinson, will miss the rest of the football season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.
Robinson suffered the injury during last weeks 28-10 loss to Chattanooga and will undergo surgery later this month. An MRI exam revealed the extent of the injury Tuesday.
A 6-1, 240-pound sophomore from Irvington, Ala., Robinson led the Bulldogs with 54 tackles through five games, with 2½ tackles for loss and two forced fumbles.
He will be replaced in the starting lineup for Saturdays game at Samford by Ian Thompson, a 5-10, 215-pound sophomore from Stratford High School. Thompson has played in all five games this season with nine tackles.
The Citadel (3-2, 2-1), ranked No. 22 in FCS, plays at Samford (4-1, 2-1) at 3 p.m. Saturday in a Southern Conference matchup.
Georgia WR Bennett out for season
ATHENS, Ga. Georgia is dealing with a big loss heading into its SEC showdown against South Carolina.
Michael Bennett, the fifth-ranked Bulldogs leading receiver, tore up his right knee in practice and is out for the year, coach Mark Richt announced.
Bennett injured the anterior cruciate ligament toward the end of Tuesdays practice. He will undergo reconstructive surgery, though no date has been set. The third-year sophomore leads Georgia (5-0, 3-0 SEC) with 24 catches for 345 yards and four touchdowns.

• Several previous studies have observed short rapid eye movement (REM) latencies in schizophrenic patients without major affective disorder. This study was designed to meet several of the criticisms of those previous studies. Using Research Diagnostic Criteria, we compared the sleep patterns of schizophrenic patients with those of normal controls and patients with major depressive disorder and schizoaffective disorder. All patients were medication free, and REM latency was explicitly defined using both strict and lenient criteria. Chronically ill paranoid or undifferentiated schizophrenics could not be distinguished from patients with major depressive disorder or schizoaffective disorder using any definition of REM latency. These results were not due to longer REM latency in the particular sample of patients with major depressive disorder. They had abnormally low REM latencies; however, the schizophrenic patients showed similar decrements. These data cast serious doubt on the specificity of short REM latency as a biological marker for major depressive disorder.

Dear Abby: I'm 21, and my 16-year-old sister is out of control. She told me she smokes marijuana, drinks alcohol, abuses painkillers and recently mentioned she does coke.
Abby, she is beautiful, and I don't want to see her do this to herself. She's living with me about an hour away from my parents because dad is an alcoholic and he abuses our mother. I brought my sister here to get her away from all that because I know what it was like growing up there.
I'm having trouble giving her advice to stay away from those things because I did them, and I feel like a hypocrite. My parents can't get through to her, either. Please help. — Trying to be a Big Sis
Dear Trying: You're lucky you were able to straighten out without becoming addicted to any of the substances you experimented with, but your sister may not be so lucky.
Your sister needs counseling, and if she is going to remain your responsibility, it is imperative that you assert control. Talk to her school counselor about getting her the help she needs. You may have to drug-test your sister on a random basis as a condition of her continuing to live with you.
Stop feeling guilty, stay strong, and you may be able to steer your sister back on the right path.
Dear Abby: I'm a 23-year-old soldier in the Army, currently deployed overseas. I'm less than a month away from returning home to my husband.
However, I have not been faithful to him during my tour. I have had sex with several people over here, and if that's not complicated enough, I appear to be pregnant. I don't know what to tell my husband. I actually still kind of love him. Advice? — Deployed And Pregnant
Dear Deployed: You need to make certain you are pregnant and that this is not a false alarm. Whether you are or not, you have some difficult decisions to make. While it won't be pleasant, you and your husband are due for an honest conversation upon your return. If you both "still kind of" love each other, forgiveness is possible.

Outfielder Mike Trout and the Angels have agreed to a $1 million, one-year contract, a prelude for a long-term deal between the young All-Star and Los Angeles.
The agreement announced Wednesday is the highest salary for a one-year contract for a player not eligible for arbitration who wasn't coming to the major leagues from Japan or Cuba, topping Ryan Howard's $900,000 salary with Philadelphia in 2007.
The Millville, New Jersey native will become eligible for arbitration after this season and could become a free agent after the 2017 World Series. The sides are thought to be discussing an agreement through 2020 in the $150 million range.
By agreeing to a one-year contract now with the 22-year-old, the Angels avoid having a long-term deal count toward their 2014 luxury tax payroll.
Trout was voted AL Rookie of the Year and finished second in MVP voting in 2012, when he hit .326 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs, and led the majors with 129 runs and 49 steals. He was second again to Detroit's Miguel Cabrera in MVP voting last year, when he batted .323 with a .432 on-base percentage, 27 homers, 97 RBIs and 33 steals.
Trout had a $482,500 salary as a rookie and earned a $10,000 bonus for winning Rookie of the Year. The Angels renewed his contract last year for $510,000 — just $20,000 above the major league minimum at the time.

Morpeth conference
John Grenham
Gabriel Byrne's dyspeptic take on The Gathering in 2013 has at least drawn more attention to it. But despite the hooting and jeering (see below), interesting things are happening. More and more local groups are actually taking up the idea of researching the descendants of those who emigrated from their area, and making clear that they are very welcome to come back. Something about the idea chimes with Irish notions of hospitality and extended family. As well as chiming with our beloved begrudgery.
As part of the preparations for next year, the Department of History at NUI Maynooth is hosting a conference on Saturday November 24th next titled "The Gathering: Local History, Heritage & Diaspora". Some very interesting speakers will discuss the concept of reverse genealogy and the practicalities of engaging with our diaspora.
One of the main aims of the event, however, is to draw the attention of local history and genealogy groups to the Morpeth Roll. This is the huge testimonial to the departing Chief Secretary of Ireland George Howard, Viscount Morpeth, in 1841. Apparently organised by Daniel O'Connell's supporters and encouraged by the Catholic Church, more than 250,000 signatures were collected in the space of a month. The giant roll recording them has been in Castle Howard in Yorkshire for the past century and a half and has only just been transcribed. As renowned local historian Mario Corrigan will show, local historical expertise brought to bear on the Roll can turn it into that most precious of genealogical treasures, a pre-Famine census.
But to do that, the widest possible range of researchers need to engage with the Roll. So come one, come all. It sounds like a great Saturday, and a great project.

It's an exciting, hectic and emotional time for the Spice Girls as they prepare for their big reunion tour, writes Melanie Chisholm, aka Sporty Spice, on the pop group's brand-new blog.
The new Spiceblog went live on Friday with the post from Chisholm, who updates fans on the group's costumes, travel plans, video shoots, TV appearances and more.
Four of the group's five members "had a fantastic meeting with Roberto Cavalli's team last week," she writes. "The costumes for the tour are going to be AMAZING!! It's so exciting to work with such talented and lovely people, we feel very lucky."
The only one unable to attend was Melanie Brown, who has been competing on ABC's Dancing with the Stars. "She's doing brilliantly and we are all very proud," Chisholm writes, adding that Brown was flying to Europe on Friday to meet up.
In addition to the intense preparations for the six-continent comeback tour, which kicks off in Los Angeles on Dec. 7, the girls are preparing to shoot a video for their new single, "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)," and will be filming a new documentary.
Their new Greatest Hits album, which will be sold exclusively at Victoria's Secret, will be released Nov. 13.
The whirlwind preparations are bringing back some fond old memories, Chisholm writes: "It's really fun reminiscing and it is actually quite emotional."
She adds: "We really can't thank you enough for your amazing support, this tour is going to be incredible. Not long to go guys!! SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!"

EAST LANSING -- Michigan State has yet to have its conference schedule released by the Big Ten, but ESPN has announced four dates thus far.
The Spartans will play at home against Ohio State on Jan. 7 at 9 p.m., home against Indiana on Jan. 21 at 7 p.m., and at Iowa on Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. ET. Those games will be a part of ESPN's Super Tuesday schedule, which showcases a game from the Big Ten and SEC each week beginning in 2014.
ESPN announced last week it would bring College GameDay to Michigan State's rivalry game at home against Michigan on Jan. 25 in a 7 p.m. game.
"The Big Ten was outstanding last season, and yet as I look at this year, seeing six teams ranked in the Top 25, sometimes as many as four in the Top 15, I think this year could be even better," coach Tom Izzo said in a statement earlier this month.
Here are the other Michigan State conference games that have yet to be officially scheduled:

Viewed in the past solely in the narrow setting of classical excretory and resorptive functions, the kidney's role in blood pressure and volume regulation has acquired added dimension. No longer seen as a mere target organ for extrarenal hormones in regulating water and electrolyte metabolism, the kidney is now recognized as a source of substances which play an essential part in hemodynamic homeostasis.
Most important in hemodynamic control is renin, a renal enzyme which activates a plasma protein to form angiotensin. A potent vasoconstrictor, angiotensin raises systemic blood pressure. It also expands blood volume by stimulating adrenocortical secretion of the sodium-retaining hormone, aldosterone. Both angiotensin and aldosterone inhibit the release of renin by direct or indirect negative feedback mechanisms. And though renin release is primarily controlled by the total delivered sodium load to the macula densa and possibly by renal arteriolar pressure changes, extrarenal hormonal and sympathetic nervous system influences

Hey everyone! I am a pretty hardcore forum lurker, but I decided to start a public journal for several reasons. I learned about the Primal lifestyle 3 months ago, and ever since I have been trying to follow it. However, I have not met the goals that led me to switch over to this lifestyle. Instead of giving up on living Primally(because I truly do believe this lifestyle is best), I am deciding to start a journal so that I can properly log what I eat, my exercise, etc. I am 100% open to all feedback, so criticism is definitely welcome I am still learning what combination of food works for me, and it's safe to say that I could use some help from you guys.
I will officially start recording my food tomorrow. I will also try to remember to record my exercise and sleep habits. A little about me: I am a 19 year old female who is 5'1 and around 135/140 pounds. My weight always fluctuates, but currently I am in the 135/140 pounds range. Last time I checked, I had about 31% body fat. I measure my weight and body fat with a regular scale I bought at Target. It might not be accurate, but it is consistent and I'll be able to measure changes with it.
My goals
1) Reduce Body Fat- While 135/140 lbs might look good on other women my height, it truly does not look good on me. I do have much muscle which contributes to the weight, but I also have excess body fat. I try not to focus on numbers, but my ideal weight would be 125 pounds. I will be measuring my success more by how my clothes feel and how I look, rather than the number on the scale.
2) Improve Mental Health- I started to develop depression and abnormal anger as a teenager. This has led me into trouble countless times throughout my teenage years. I have been on and off countless medications. The current medication I am on is Zoloft and it is the only one that has helped so far. My emotions are much more manageable with it. I have been on Zoloft for about 3 years, but I would like to stop taking it because of the side effects(and plus it is obviously not primal...) I truly think that living a Primal lifestyle can help improve my emotions.
Also, I think it might be important to include my current living situation. I am living with my parents and two brothers(16, 21). They are all non Primal The only person who sort of "gets it" is my mom. She does try to avoid wheat(she understands that it causes inflammation) and she eats a lot of veggies. But she isn't on board with the meat and fat part. So pretty much, these types of online communities are my only support network when it comes to Primal living.
Well...I'm not sure if anyone will read my journal. But I think it is important to hold myself more accountable by posting this publicly. I really want to finally reach my goals. For 30 days I will be more strict with myself, and I'm sure that I will see progress!

Where the 3 freed Cleveland women are now
AMANDA BERRY: She made a public appearance at a Cleveland concert in July but has kept a low profile. She has not talked publicly about what happened to her, but she is working on a book with Gina DeJesus. All three women appeared on stage in February when they received Gov. John Kasich's courage award.
GINA DEJESUS: The youngest, she also has stayed out of the spotlight. She made a public appearance at a parade in August. Her parents have been active in helping the families of missing people in the Cleveland area and encouraging others not to forget those who haven't been found.
MICHELLE KNIGHT: The oldest, she has been the most outspoken. She spoke about her ordeal on the "Dr. Phil" show in November and her memoir is being released Tuesday. She was the only one of Ariel Castro's victims to show up at his sentencing in August. "You took 11 years of my life away, and I have got it back," she said.

War tops talks as African leaders gather in Ethiopia for AU summit
Source: AFP
ADDIS ABABA — Conflict and humanitarian crises rather than growing economies and development top the agenda for African leaders this week as they meet for a summit of the continental bloc.
War in the Central African Republic (CAR) and South Sudan are key priorities, Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom said ahead of the two-day African Union (AU) meeting that opens on Thursday.
The controversial role on the continent of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is also expected to be addressed.
"The fact that these humanitarian tragedies are unfolding in the two countries at a time when we are talking about 'African renaissance' must be painful to all of us," Mr Tedros added, speaking at a ministerial-level meeting on Monday.
"Unless we find (an) urgent solution, the situation in these two countries will have serious implications for peace and security in the region, and indeed the whole continent," he added.
Ethiopia, hosting the 54-member meeting of the AU in Addis Ababa, is also the current head of the bloc's rotating chair.
The meeting's official theme is "Agriculture and food security", but nations will be bogged down yet again trying to resolve conflict in fellow member states.
South Sudan's warring parties signed a fragile ceasefire last week, but clashes between government and rebels continue, with thousands killed and more than 800,000 forced from their homes in bloodshed that has now lasted for six weeks.
Peace talks led by the regional East African bloc Igad adjourned after last week's ceasefire deal, with mediators calling for the AU to play a greater role in the peace process.
"One of the issues for the AU this week is to add some clarity to exactly what its role will be," said Phil Clark, a politics lecturer at London's Soas University.
"Pressure might need to be coming from an organ within the AU," said Jason Mosley, from Britain's Chatham House think-tank.
The unfolding humanitarian disaster in the CAR, where a 5,200-strong AU force is deployed alongside 1,600 French soldiers, will also dominate talks.
The CAR descended into chaos 10 months ago after rebels overthrew the government, sparking sectarian violence that has uprooted a million people out of a population of 4.6-million.
Peter J Pham, director of the Africa Centre at the Atlantic Council, said the AU's slow response to the crisis in the CAR pointed to a deeper institutional weakness when it came to rapidly evolving conflicts.
"For all the talk — we've had it for well over a decade — about an African standby force, the fact is that when emergencies come up, it starts all over again, there is no standby force," he said, referring to the AU's plans for an on-call peacekeeping force, which has yet to materialise.
"There's very little concrete action being done," he added.
Mr Clark said the AU faced criticism in its response to crises, especially in South Sudan and the CAR.
"There's a lot of concern at the moment that the AU isn't showing sufficient leadership in resolving these types of conflicts," he said. "So I think it's those issues that are going to loom large."
Heads of state will gather at the gleaming, Chinese-built AU headquarters on Thursday and Friday, which comes eight months after the bloc marked its 50th anniversary in May.
Leaders are also expected to focus on "Agenda 2063", a 50-year road map for the AU that has been a major preoccupation for the head of the its executive council, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
But Mr Mosley pointed out that while long-term planning and development schemes were important, the AU could not ignore ongoing conflict. He suggested recent rhetoric of a "rising continent" had glossed over major problems.
"The whole 'Africa rising' thing was a bit of a swing too far, away from 'Africa is a continent that's continuing in crisis'," said Mr Mosley, adding that development and peace and security issues should be tackled together.
Member states are also expected to discuss the AU's relationship with the ICC, after a special summit on the topic last year. The AU has accused the court of unfairly targeting Africans and has said sitting heads of state should not be tried, including Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The one-year rotating chair of the AU, currently led by Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, will also be replaced. Mauritania's Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz is tipped to take the post.

A bunch of fat African monkies….all they do is steal, kill, torture and destroy. They use colonialism and the west as an excuse for their failures. How come they don't learn the great west civilization and good governance? Shame on you fat ass
@Mesfin : They are may be a group of corrupted people but It's shame when your fellow creatures saying African monkies
what else is sad than a bunch of cruel animals that sabotage and destroy their own race for money and fame…lucky, I am not in charge…i wish i can line up and destroy them….enough is enough!!!
They will certainly have a good time in Addis
,and their so called Summit shall once again being a waste of Time .African Despots and Tyrants ,if you really want to be useful ,FEED your peoples and let them FREE . Afterall the resolution has already been made by the State Department influencing the UN Security Council .While African so called delegations and envoys remaining as usual VOICELESS .
African leaders sleeping in a UN Summit. They started dozing after discussion on developmental aid.
* When they were deliberating on energy and power, they were sleeping.
* When they were deliberating on economic development, they were sleeping.
* When they deliberated on food security, they were asleep.
* When they fixed interest rate on debtor's (African) loans, they were asleep.
* When they deliberated on conflict resolution through dialogue they were already snoring.
They only woke up, to support motion for adjournment and signed the communique.
Of course!, they need rest, they worked tirelessly back home clamping down their opponents and critics.
They Spent the night strategising on the next move to subdue their opponents, embezzle more resources.
Back home, airports were closed 2 hours before their arrival, motor-ways were blocked 1 hour ahead, Armed Policemen stood guard 8 hours before arrival. Rented crowd clamoured under sun to cheer them up, WHAT HAVE THEY BROUGHT HOME?
You are quite right. We should gather these human garbages throw them from that tall building one by one. Just push them from the top of the AU building with dollar in their mouth and say EAT SHIT
Mesfin, by naming them as "…African monkies…", you are passing to them the nickname that whites racists use to humiliate you when they meet you in front of your local social welfare offices. Think twice how bumerang works before you use such mindless words and phrases.
Remember that one can get almost everything under sky with politeness and humiliation is a desperate act it should not necessarily help change things to make this world to be better place to leave in. People always tend to be aggressive and incline to humiliate when they exhaust or miss adequate arguments. Sorry that it's an act of inferiority complex and unsatisfactory state of self-realization rooted from their own personal than external factors. Those external negative interactions are just the reflections of the above.
Hostile words used by you are not part of our culture. I am sorry for you for adopting such bad habit by picking form those very weak simple individuals of non African origins.
"There's a lot of concern at the moment that the AU isn't showing sufficient leadership in resolving these types of conflicts,"
An organization is only as good as the members it constitues. What do you expect from Ethiopian " leaders" et al?
Again another Western media and their so-called lecturer trying to undermine the African Renaissance as usual. YES AFRICA IS RISING! !! Africa is in a better shape now than is was 2 or 3 decades ago. Africa has a better professional governance than before. More peaceful than before. Europeans have had their fair share of conflict and war and hunger in their long walk to prosperity and democracy.Refer to your own history books first . Some folks in the West still are having hard time accepting the rising of Africa. Yes We have still conflics in couple countries which are being resolved soon by Africans. But in no way can that undermine African Renaissance. The above article by AFP is another garbage and irrelevant article that's bent on undermining Africans. With regard to ICC, since it's inception the people prosecuted by the court are all Africans. This is no coincidence. They are attacking African leaders even leaders who are still in the office. ICC is an instrument to undermine African leaders. Now ICC must drop cases against His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya and His Excellency Hassan AlBashir of Sudan.
Africa is rising!
All bad wishers in this posts are Eritreans.
They simply felt jealous of seeing all leaders with the new state of art being only in Addis Ababa….That's all.
I remember these African pigheaded dictators came to Addis wearing their a very expensive closes ,ROLEX watch,perfumes , dollars they looted from their poor people and as usual ,they pass without control at Bole airport, more SHOPPING , champion,whisky, all sort of liquors, not to mention a weyanne run prostitutes to escort them to local weyanne own bars.. When the Meeting starts, all these pigs are intoxicated with drugs and alcohol. They do not even know what they sign. Some of them are illiterate they prefer to sign with their guns than a pen. A funny thing is they all have a golden pen. What is wrong with Pic pen? Do these pigs ever visit a hospital in their home land? No, they travel aboard for treatment with the money they stolen and get a better treatment. BURN THEM ALL A LIVE.
yene tesema, I am sorry if my words offended these fat rats. THEY RAPE AND DESTROY their own ppl….FUCK them and i Hope they burn in hell. AFRICA is a MODEL for disaster in the world and it is because of these leaders/dictators….trigger happy, fat, ugly, low life of human….destroy these if u want to have any hope of the future. You are concerned about what white ppl call you, but you ignored the destruction they brought…..sad ass creatures, AIDS, famine, rape, and fly is what we are known for::((((
What a joke uncle tom house Niger calling their own kind leader as monkeys. Anyway to remind your toothless master Africa is no longer the dark or the lost continent.
tell them Senait…..Africa the so called rich continent with resource is the world leader in every disaster we can name….and Tesfay, stop mumbling….criticizing and calling out fat ass pigs who destroy their nation and ppl has nothing to do eritrea…you seemed to have a hung up bro….wake up and smell the chaos in that continent rather than blaming eritrea for all your dictators short coming…

OLD?FORT - In their Monday evening meeting, board members took questions and comments from the public regarding the recent request for more money from teachers.
Resident Arthur Henretty commented on the district's "excellent with distinction" rating as well as asked about the board's political behavior. He also said he was "flabbergasted" by the teachers' expectation of more money during these difficult economic times.
The need for union leaders to accept an agreement in order for the district to pass future levies also was discussed.
Superintendent Laura Keller said a mediator with the support of Ohio School Board Association said they already met with the parties to discuss the negotiations, but has yet to come forth with a second meeting date
Ketter added the board is at the mercy of the mediators to meet and are waiting for another date to be scheduled.
In other news, Keller reported asbestos had been removed from pipes in the boiler room for the elementary school project.
The old boiler is to be required to provide heat until a new one is installed. At that time the old boiler is to become a back-up system.
All pipes and tanks are to be wrapped to reduce heat loss and a new blower is to be put in upon arrival of the condensation tank, which was due Thursday.
Asbestos also has been removed from the bus garage. It was reported Abdoo Wrecking Co. is expected to perform the demolition.
Treasurer Sharon Perry's reported 25 percent of the fiscal year has been completed and 36 percent of the district's forecasted operating revenue was collected. Twenty-nine percent its forecasted expenditures were obligated.
The following donations were accepted by the board: $10, anonymous donor for the golf fund; $50, Alice and Betty Miller in memory of Laura Hoppes Fraser; $97.40, Lions Club for a cafeteria can opener; $240, anonymous donor for the cheerleading fund; and playground fencing, Old Fort Elementary PTO.
The board also approved a senior class trip March 24-28 to San Antonio.
Upcoming dates include end of first-quarter grading period, Oct. 29; fall sports banquet, Nov. 1; and parent-teacher conferences, 3:30-7 p.m. Nov. 4 and 11.

WASHINGTON -- The Boston Marathon bombings didn't just affect the city, they've revived terror fears across the United States, impacting political debates from national security to immigration. But it's also sparked questions about privacy as America slips closer to a surveillance society.
After cameras captured the chaotic scene at the Boston Marathon finish line, the city's police chief said he wants more cameras to help law enforcement keep watch on possible high value target areas downtown. A collection of video feeds - both public and private -- and even cell phone images helped police identify their suspects. Now other cities, in an attempt to prevent possible attacks, may want to follow suit. But privacy advocates caution against a rush to set up more cameras in cities across the country.
"Preventing crimes is not something that camera systems have shown to be particularly useful for," Marc Rotenberg, president and executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) in Washington, D.C., said.
EPIC keeps a watchful eye on those who are monitoring Washington's vast network of cameras. While Rotenberg believes the technology can be useful, he says it's also limited.
"Look at study after study and the lesson that you take away is that cameras can be helpful after the fact. But they rarely prevent crimes, and they certainly didn't in Boston," he said. Meanwhile, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, has other concerns.
"Technology is a fantastic instrument to fight crime," the Texas lawmaker said. "But the danger is that everyone gets monitored all the time." He's worried the expansion of surveillance could lead to government overreach, with big brother capable of knowing what virtually everyone's been doing.
"We're close to that now," Gohmert warned. "They have the capability of going out and finding out what you purchased or what websites you go to or what emails you send." Government overreach is an even greater concern with the use of unmanned drones flying over U.S. airspace.
"Drone surveillance raises issues that are similar to the camera surveillance in cities," Rotenberg noted. "This is another useful technology; it has public benefit, but this should not become a type of surveillance of all activity that people engage, and that would be going too far." Meanwhile, the advent of newer technologies will continue to spark concerns about privacy. And in a post-9/11 world, the tradeoff between feeling secure and maintaining one's privacy will be debated for years to come.

Need to Acquire a Used IP Address
Hello, I have an issue which I would like assistance in, and by a quick glance in the rules I didn't feel like I'm breaking anything, so:
In short I'm hosting a service-like thing for a few guys I know on our LAN, and I use a static IP for ease-of-access (using domain names is not an option for us), and in some days like today, the IP that I use gets acquired by someone else via the typical DHCP process.
I would like to know about the possible options for reacquiring the IP address from the person who is occupying it.
Re: Need to Acquire a Used IP Address
and no response... at least I would like to know if I'm asking in the correct category, or the correct website.

OFJ Field Journal from Lou D'Amario - 11/13/95
SOME TWEAKS ARE BETTER LEFT UNDONEJupiter Orbit Insertion (JOI) Tweak
I discussed the JOI tweak (the late update to the size of the JOI maneuver) in some detail in my last journal entry. The next day, the Navigation Team was told that the Project was seriously considering eliminating the JOI tweak (see my last journal for an explanation about tweaks). This was disappointing, because the JOI tweak is an important part of the overall navigation strategy for the Jupiter encounter. The problem was that the Flight Teams were very busy changing the spacecraft sequences because of the tape recorder problems. There didn't appear to be time for the Orbiter Engineering Team and the Sequence Team to run through a test and training exercise for their parts of the JOI tweak development before arriving at Jupiter.
By Monday November 6, I was able (with the assistance of Mike Wilson and Chris Potts, who also work on the Navigation Team as maneuver analysts) to show what would happen if we eliminated the JOI tweak. The first JOI- correction maneuver at JOI plus one day (called OTM-1, the first Orbital Trim Maneuver) could get much larger, calling for more propellant. That was not good, but there was a bigger problem. If for some reason we were unable to perform OTM-1, the next maneuver (OTM-2) could get so large (in some situations) that there might not be enough propellant left to finish the full orbital tour! This became a real dilemma.
On Tuesday, I suggested a possible solution to Ralph Reichert, the Engineering Office Manager: scratch the JOI tweak test and training exercise, and keep the JOI tweak in the plan, but only on a so-called "best efforts" basis. In other words, the Flight Team would try to do the work required for the JOI tweak in the time we have. Then, if we did manage to get ready for the tweak (and the JOI tweak was judged to be desirable), the tweak commands would be sent to the spacecraft. On the other hand, if the work wasn't finished in time, no commands would be sent, and we would accept the consequences. What made this strategy feasible was that the exact same work needed for the JOI tweak had, in fact, already been done once a few months ago after the Orbiter Deflection Maneuver; it just hadn't been done on the short timeline of the JOI tweak. As of today, the JOI tweak is still in the plan (and we have our fingers crossed).
Arrival Day Telecom Meeting
On November 6, I attended the Arrival Day Telecom Strategy Meeting. This meeting was about how to configure the spacecraft and the DSN (Deep Space Network) ground antennas to make it as likely as possible that we will be receiving telemetry (data sent from Galileo) on December 7, the day that Galileo arrives at Jupiter. There were no major effects on navigation plans (we lost one tracking pass before the Io flyby, and the backup "uplink window" (the time period where we send commands up to the spacecraft) for the JOI tweak was moved later).
Trajectory Change Maneuver 27 (TCM-27)
Starting on November 8, the Navigation Team had one regular working day (8 hours) to finish working out exactly how great a change in velocity would be needed for the trajectory change maneuver (TCM-27). This maneuver improves our aim for when Galileo flies by Io. This work involved the following steps:
First, the Orbit Determination (OD) Group "generates a solution" (more on this later) for the spacecraft trajectory (the spacecraft's path) and the predicted Io flyby conditions using the most recent tracking data available. Then the Trajectory Analysis (TRAJ) Group checks the OD solution by mathematically "moving" the spacecraft all the way to Io closest approach to see if the Io flyby will match the predictions. Since we never get an exact match, the Maneuver Analysis (MNVR) Group then calculates how we have to maneuver the spacecraft so that it is perfectly on target (specifically, they calculate a velocity vector that will correct the miss in the Io flyby conditions). Once again, the TRAJ Group checks the spacecraft's trajectory ---but this time with the maneuver added in. If everything checks out, the Group sends the maneuver information to the Orbiter Engineering Team (OET); it' s the OET that will translate the Navigation team's request into actual commands for the spacecraft's thrusters.
Finally, the results of all this work were presented to the Project managers. Here's a summary of the results. The desired Io closest approach altitude is 1000 km, and the desired closest approach time is at 17:45:44 UTC on December 7, 1995 (UTC refers to the 24-hour clock time at Greenwich, or 5:45:44 PM at Greenwich. At JPL, that will be 9:45:44 on the morning of December 7). Without TCM-27, Galileo would miss its aimpoint at Io by a predicted 84 kilometers in altitude (a large error), arriving 5 seconds early. To correct these errors, the spacecraft velocity would have to be changed by 0.16 meters/second (a small maneuver). Then, at the conclusion of the presentation, the Navigation Team recommended that TCM-27 be canceled! Why did we do that? There is some additional information about the maneuver design process that I haven't mentioned yet.
When the OD Group "solves" for the trajectory, what they are really doing is finding the trajectory that best "fits" the radio tracking data. In other words, orbit determination is basically finding the trajectory that differs as little as possible from the observed tracking data. When the OD Group determines the best trajectory fit, they are also able to say how "good" the fit is - i. e., how small the differences from the observed tracking data are. For TCM-27, the errors in the Io flyby were small relative to these differences -- we didn't know the miss at Io accurately enough to say that correcting the errors at TCM-27 would actually improve the trajectory. In recommending to cancel TCM-27, we were saying that we needed to wait until the spacecraft got closer to Io and Jupiter so that the "goodness" of the trajectory solution would improve. The Project accepted the Navigation Team recommendation, and TCM-27 was canceled.
The next maneuver, TCM-28, is scheduled for November 27 (Io minus 10 days). The design of TCM-28 starts on November 18. We will have 10 more days of tracking data to reduce the uncertainties of the trajectory (i. e., improve the "goodness" of the fit). I expect that the Navigation Team will not recommend canceling TCM-28.
Non-Work Stuff
So far, the increased level of activities at work have not disrupted my exercise schedule. I am still riding my bike or walking every morning for 30- 35 minutes; on Saturday and Sunday I go for a longer bike ride (about an hour). So far, the Navigation Team has not had to work nights or weekends, but that will change for the upcoming maneuvers and the JOI tweak. We will be working this coming weekend and the weekend after Thanksgiving. And there are some all-niters coming. At home, my wife Maria and I are planning to have some work done on our kitchen - new floors, countertops, appliances, lighting etc. She will have to assume responsibility for negotiating with the contractors for this work until after Jupiter arrival - I'm just too busy right now. I plan to take some vacation time at Christmas. My mother is coming Barbara, will also be at our house for Christmas.

ELKINS - Sports at Davis & Elkins College have played a vital role in the community for more than 100 years, and the school hopes the partnership will continue to flourish, officials said Monday.
Kevin Wilson, D&E's executive vice president, served as the guest speaker at the Randolph County Community Arts Center on Monday for the "Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America" exhibit. The exhibit is part of the Smithsonian Institution's traveling outreach and will remain on display until Saturday.
"Elkins is a very special place and the school is also very special," Wilson said. "The school is very instrumental to the community. Sure, we didn't have Jerry West or Major Harris, but there is a lot of great things that happened at D&E. This school is a gem. It has a really storied past and has done very well."

Wilson, who has been with D&E for six years, said this year the college saw its largest enrollment since 1948. He said the success can be attributed to "good team building techniques."
"We're going through some really nice growth," Wilson said. "We have renovated and refurbished all the athletic facilities that we have - from Martin Fieldhouse, to the tennis courts, to the pool, to the soccer field, to the baseball field and a brand new softball field."
Wilson said the school has seen "tremendous growth" over the past five years. He explained that in 2008, the school received 572 enrollment applications.
As of Monday, he said the school has received 1,985 applications for the upcoming semester. Wilson noted the college anticipates more than 2,000 applications before school begins.
"The college has grown 68 percent in the past five years," Wilson said. "Sports are a big part of that, whether you're coming to play or coming to watch. We want everyone to come visit the campus."
According to Wilson, D&E and the community have a "good working relationship." He said Elkins High School uses the tennis courts and pool for their competitions, and residents often use the facilities for recreational purposes.
"The community is very supportive," Wilson said. "The school a big deal in the community and to students who come in and use the facilities to hone their skills. D&E fits in, certainly, in this community. Elkins High school has a tennis team with no courts and a swimming team with no pool, so I'd say we fit in pretty well. We like the town and the town likes us."
Before joining the administration of D&E, Wilson spent 19 years as a Division I, II and III coach, as well as six years as an assistant coach in the NBA.
"Hometown Teams" interweaves images and text with almost 70 artifacts, video, audio and other interactive elements that present perspectives on sports in popular culture, as well as local sports traditions. It offers information about mascots, marching bands, cheerleaders, game day traditions, tailgating, player/coach relationships, sports equipment, stadiums, rivalries, and athletes who broke racial, gender or physical barriers in sports. The growth of alternative and extreme sports also is explored.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. Hours are Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Additional information about "Hometown Teams" is available by calling the RCCAC at 304-637-2355.

UPDATED SEARCH efforts to find the two missing crew from the sunken Tit Bonhomme will continue today (MON) the Coastguard have confirmed.
Despite the best efforts of more than 300 people including hundreds of volunteers, two members of the crew of the sunken Tit Bonhomme remain unaccounted for.
The weekend saw the intensity of searching stepped up with more than 70 volunteer divers assisting 15 Navy and Garda divers in a thorough search of the area of Glandore Harbour where three bodies have already been discovered.
The Shannon rescue helicopter and Naval Vessel LE Orla also assisted in the operation.
Coastguard officials say that searching will continue tomorrow in an effort to find the bodies of skipper Michael Hayes (52) and crewmember Saied Aly Eldin (24) who both remain missing after the trawler Tit Bonhomme sank close to Adam Island in the early hours of Sunday, January 15th in heavy seas.
The bodies of three crewmembers Kevin Kershaw (21), Attea Shaban (26) and Wael Mohamad (35) have already been recovered from the area.
The sixth member of the crew, 40-year-old father of three Abdou Mohamad survived the tragedy by managing to swim to safety when the ship went down in rough seas two weeks ago.

"Federal control of public lands is destroying forests and water sheds, shutting off access, constricting economic opportunity, breaking the state and local budgets, and threatening our way of life." That's the message that Utah Representative Ken Ivory brought to a roomful of people at the Eagles Lodge in Hamilton last Wednesday, December 11. He came to the valley at the request of County Commissioner Suzy Foss who has asked the other commissioners to consider joining the American Lands Council, a lobbying organization directed by Ivory, that aims to transfer federally owned lands to state control and possibly to state and private ownership. He calls it the "only solution big enough."
Ivory also claims that this solution was the original intention of the Enabling Acts that created the states. He says that every one of the states was "promised" that the federal land within its borders would be relinquished to the states "in a timely fashion." He claims that the federal government only intended to hold title, or to hold the land in trust, temporarily and then it would "extinguish title" to the land, enabling the states to tax it in order to fund education, grow their economies and utilize their resources.
Ivory argues that it was only in 1976 that Congress explicitly gave up the intention of transferring land to the states declaring in a new policy, the Federal Land Policy Management Act, that its intention was to retain federal lands in federal ownership. He argues that this act of Congress violated the original state compacts and infringed upon the states' sovereignty, impairing their ability to raise funds. To address this issue, he claims, Congress then enacted the Payment In Lieu of Taxes program. Once timber receipts dropped on the national forests due to changing management policies, Congress then enacted the Secure Rural Schools Act to funnel more money to the states for education.
As a result, states across the West that are still dominated by federally owned land became dependent upon a money stream that is now being scaled back because "the federal government is broke." Montana, he points out, gets 42% of its budget from the federal government through such avenues as PILT and SRS payments.
Ivory argues that there is no way to make up this gap through raising taxes. "We have to look at public lands," he said. He argues that the states are better managers of public land because the issues are clearer and the elected officials are "neighbors" and can be held accountable for their actions. Once freed from federal control the public lands can then be mined, logged, and possibly even sold to produce the income necessary to deal with a state's obligations which consist of caring for "sick people, poor people, education, roads and public safety."
Ivory states that the only thing stopping the Western states from compelling the federal government to turn over its land to them is the lack of "knowledge and courage." Nebraska, for instance, is now only 1% federal land while Nevada is more than 80%.
"The same promises were made, the language is the same, so why the difference?" he asks.
He said several states were asking that question, including Montana, and had passed legislation to study the issue of transferring federal lands. In Utah the effort, supported by Ivory's American Lands Council, has passed legislation calling for the transfer of all the federal land in Utah to the state by December 31, 2014.
In the question and answer period after his talk someone noted that attorney generals for Utah and Wyoming had each issued opinions that the law requiring the transfer was unconstitutional and would be struck down by the Supreme Court.
Ivory said, "Get five lawyers in a room and you'll get ten different opinions."
Stewart Brandborg, founding member of Friends of the Bitterroot and Bitterrooters for Planning, said that he had worked in federal agencies in Idaho and Montana and worked for 30 years in Washington D.C. for conservation organizations.
"In my long experience there I learned one thing," said Brandborg, "that the people of this country value the public estate being managed by BLM, USFS, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and the national park system. They hold it dear to their hearts and claim ownership. Your proposal to turn those over to the states for disposal and sale to the private sector won't go over with the general public. They want these lands held in trust for the American people. In the final analysis you must go to Congress to turn these lands back for disposal but the American people won't stand for that. They value these lands as part of their ownership in the public estate. So I appreciate your fine presentation, but you are not serving the public interest of those of us who appreciate this grand place we live in."
Brandborg's comments were followed by sustained foot stomping, hollering and applause by much of the audience.
Ivory said that the debate would go forward and become more urgent as the federal money runs out.

A backyard fireworks display may look pretty and get family and friends excited, but when it comes to lighting fireworks, leave it to the professionals, Mayo Clinic physicians are advising. Each year, Mayo Clinic doctors see dozens of patients who have lost fingers and limbs, gotten severe burns and suffered hearing loss as a direct result of using fireworks. Even seemingly harmless fireworks — such as sparklers — can cause severe burns and even blindness.
"People have a false sense of security when it comes to fireworks," says Donald Jenkins, M.D., a trauma physician at Mayo Clinic. "The reality is that often people are not a safe distance from exploding fireworks, or even worse, the firework actually ignites in their hand. These scenarios can lead to facial burns, eye injuries and amputation of fingers or the hand, especially among children."
Along with avoiding fireworks, here are some more tips for keeping your summer safe and injury free:
- Consume alcohol in moderation. Imbibing too much alcohol can lead to questionable decision-making, slowed reflexes and false confidence – traits that are dangerous in nearly any outdoor activity during the summer months.
- Never assume a camp or bonfire is completely out. On more than one occasion, fire-happy campers have been known to dump gasoline or other extremely flammable liquids on fires that look like they are out or smoldering and ended up with third-degree burns. Children and adults make trips to the emergency room every summer after stepping into fire pits they thought were cool.
- Always wear a helmet when biking, motorcycling, horseback riding or on an ATV. This is like wearing a seat belt in a car — an absolute must. Riders of all kinds can sustain serious injuries in an accident, but survival chances grow exponentially when a helmet is worn.
- Use extra-sharp eyes when operating a motor vehicle on the water. Watch out for other boaters, water-skiers and swimmers. Every year, patients end up in the ER after getting tangled up in a boat propeller. And always wear a life jacket.
- Avoid fireworks. Even sparklers — thought to be relatively safe — can lead to blindness and serious burns. Other larger fireworks can leave users without fingers and even limbs. Hearing loss is common among fireworks users as well. Children must be closely supervised at all times around any kind of fireworks.
The good news is that summer injuries are nearly completely avoidable, Dr. Jenkins says.
"If you go out and ride your motorcycle too fast and you're not wearing a helmet and the proper protective equipment; if you're intoxicated and climbing up a ladder; if you're not watching your child around the lawn mower, those aren't accidents," he says. "Those are injuries that were preventable."

What is in this article?:
- Debate on ethanol role in livestock/poultry feed costs
- Pushback
- Drought, hay, DDGs
- Sides clash over ethanol impact on livestock/poultry feed.
- House panel derided as unbalanced.
In recent years, U.S. livestock and poultry producers have increasingly complained about limited feed availability and resulting higher feed costs. A Wednesday afternoon hearing of the House Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry focused on the feed issues.
The panel's testimony uniformly painted ethanol -– with its government backing and production mandates -- as a key cause of livestock/poultry producers' dipping profits and a coming rise in consumer prices.
"My difficulties with U.S. fuel ethanol policy arise from the provision of subsidies for the product's usage, protection against imports which have, until recently, been lower-cost that U.S.-produced ethanol, and, most of all a mandate that forces ethanol to be used regardless of the economic circumstances, especially those that pertain to competing users of corn," testified Steven Meyer, President of Paragon Economics, an Iowa-based livestock and grain market analysis firm. He spoke on behalf of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
"I realize that we cannot 'un-ring the bell' on ethanol subsidies and tariffs," Meyer continued. "In combination with the promise of an ever-growing market through the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), these policy instruments drove the rapid construction of an ethanol production segment that has for several years been large enough to meet the ultimate 15 billion gallons of forced ethanol usage in 2015 contained in the RFS."
Further, Meyer testified "subsidized ethanol has meant record high corn prices, record-high costs of production for meat and poultry, resulting lower per capita meat and poultry output and, finally, record-high meat prices. The U.S. pork industry lost $6 billion in equity from 2007 through 2009 but improved profitability did not stop the exodus of pork producers in 2010. From 2007 through 2010, 6,350 hog operations exited the industry and 84 percent of them held 500 of fewer hogs in inventory. During that same five years, 30,510 cattle and calf operations and 24,350 beef cow operations exited the industry. Most were small."
While livestock operations have become more efficient, "lower feed availability will eventually mean still lower meat and poultry output and still higher meat and poultry prices."

A conference at celebrating the centenary of Charles Beard's book, "An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States" - reflecting on Beard's work and legacy, and the future of economic interpretation in history - will be held at the Rothermere American Institute, University of Oxford, on 22nd & 23rd April 2013.
Papers are sought that reflect critically on the Beardian historiographical tradition, and/or on the interconnections of political, legal, and economic history and theory. Where, if anywhere, can historians go with the concept of "interest"? How might new "economic interpretations" build on or differ from Beard's? What are the intersections and dividing lines between economics, politics, law, and other fields of power?
As well as traditional 15-minute papers, ideas for other formats and events are welcome. The deadline for submissions is 31st December 2012. Scholars at all levels of career progression are encouraged to apply.

Dishonest Pinocchio
"Oh baby, lie to me. LIE TO ME!!!"
Well, that's still the hottest commic-woman I've seen before, and I've seen a lot allready 🙂
She has… it! 🙂
And no, I'm not lieing 😉
oh baby LIE to me…that way something will grow…bigger and bigger…the nose guys :))
One word: Splinters
Don't worry I'm sure they're using varnish.
I didn't know Pinocchio was made from hardwood.
Hmmm what if he says "My nose will grow now?"
It will start to grow. And then once it's in the process of growing, it'll INSTANTLY stop because he didn't lie.
It'll exists in two states of being at the same time, obviously
But he needs to lie and say the truth alternately to get maximum satisfaction.
Actually there's a spanish language joke talking about this same thing. xD
What's the joke, Paula? Well, in English language please.
Good joke, but it's the 3rd time I've seen it used like this because of its obviousness. One of the toons was like the 2nd time I ever made one.
Sorry 🙂 I dont mean anything by it
This is how you get cosy and nosy… Alltogether at once! 😀

GWS A-10 with EDF-55
I have the A-10 with the uprated power. The extra weight of the motors has required an extra 35gms in the nose to balance out the c of g. All up weight with a 7 cell 2/3AA pack is 585gms.
Model will not get airborne from a runway- (tried hand launching, broke the nose!!),is it too heavy??. Anyone else got a weight problem with this model?.
I hear that some flyers using those Li-Poly packs which by far lighter than Ni-MH packs. The balance can not match original design expected, and tail heavy very much!
Some of them using the other space in front of battery cabinate, and the balance become OK!
I agree with Mr. Lin
Li/Poly will produce far greater results without the added weight. I flew the A-10 EDF50's with Kokam 2S1P lipoly/no gear/and the airplane was aerobatic. It will take off from the runway and fly well with that setup....especially with the EDF55's.

It sounds like you have enough speed if its going at a fast running speed. Will the nose wheel lift at this speed? If it will not you are nose heavy! The a10 will not fly off with the nose wheel in contact as it needs a higher angle of attack. With the nose weight right and sufficient power being developed the a10 will climb out nicely but you need a good battery pack. If you are carrying extra dead weight try an AA battery pack which will deliver the required high current (8 cells give best power). THis plane is not highly powered but it does fly nicely IF!! you can keep power going to the motors. I had problems with motor cuts due high internal resistance shortly after take off.
Best of luck

Thanks for the info. OK here's the full gen.
Motors are EDF-55 with 6 blade fans. The box says EDF55-150G but the motors are much larger that the tiny motors in the EDF-50 150 models, so I assumed they were the 300's.
The model was bought as a package from the UK distibutors and the battery was as supplied- 8.4v but not much capacity at 400mah- was always going to change it for a bigger battery anyway.
CofG is at 55mm. With bigger batteries in mind, I wanted to be able to change the extra added balance weight, so I made a plastic tube gun in the nose wich I can insert weight into, this also means that the weight is as far forward as possible, so less needed.
I also airbrushed the model with Tamiya paints, this added about 1oz.
Nose of model lifts up with a little up-elevator and drops down ok with down elevator but will probably run all day sat on its fins!.
I thought about making the lower nose section removable and putting the battery in the forward nose hollow- this will save about 35gms- but it will still be overweight.
What I now need to know is:- what size motors do I have and what is the maximum wing loading for this model.
Thanks in advance,
P.s. model looks stunning. Thanks to GWS for a low cost A-10

When you say the CofG is at 55mm where is this in relation to the bamboo spar? Sorry my a10 is no more so I cant measure it! or even weigh it for you. What colour areyour fan units? If they are black you have the 150 motors grey equals 300. I think that only the 150's arrived in the uk but if you do have the 300's could you let me know where you got them from! Somewere I have a video of a take off and subsequent power failure but it is probably a bit long to post here. let me know how you get on.
ps GWS website says that flting weight is 470-520g so you are a little overweight but with the right battery choice you should be ok as long as you dont expect an agile aerobatic model.

Hi Gareth,
The CofG is 55mm from the wing leading edge and about 5mm back from the bamboo stick.
The fan ducts are black. I'm not that up on electric, I guess the 150 & 300 means no. of wire turns on the armature??. Can't figure out why the motors fitted have to be larger if the are the same speed as the smaller ones on the EDF50.
Going to have another try today, when I fix the steering!. Heres a tip for anyone building the A-10, add a plastic tube sleave around the plastic retainer for the nose u/c- this will stop it splitting when you hit a stone!.

Mine balanced on the bamboo spar and flew ok so yours does not appear to be too nose heavy. Have you charged and fully discharged your battery a few times? I find that putting a good fast charge followed by a few hours at trickle disconecting immediately bofore flying gives best performance. Just go to full power bring the nose wheel off the deck and balance the aircraft on the main wheels, gently pull back on the elevators and she should fly.
Best of luck
PS GWS motor designations are like a foreign language trust me there is a big difference in output between a edf50 150 and a edf55 150

The Clueless star will appear nude in a TV ad campaign advocating vegetarianism, the Associated Press reports.
In the 30-second spots for The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Silverstone, 30, is seen emerging naked from a swimming pool while espousing the positive points of eschewing meat.
Silverstone admitted she hasn't been a health freak for long. "I wasn't always a vegetarian, but I've always loved animals," she said in a statement. "Physically, the effect has been amazing."
Last spring the star told InStyle Home that "steak and doughnuts" were among her staples before she cleaned up her eating habits and went vegan.
"I don't get sick very often and when I do it's for a short period," she told the magazine.
The new ads were set to hit Houston airwaves more than twenty times Wednesday, and PETA claims they chose Houston for the debut because it so often ranks high on lists of cities with the worst eating habits. The Texas city was the sixth-fattest in the nation this year, according to Men's Fitness magazine.
