Back in 2008 I was invited to participate in a friendly competition with several stock bloggers. My list of stocks has returned over 20% in 2009 and 2010. The companies I selected in both years included real estate investment trust Realty Income (O). utility Con Edison (ED), tobacco conglomerate Phillip Morris International (PM) and pipeline MLP Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP). Due to the low interest rates, most high yield stocks have been bid up by yield hungry investors to levels which would make investors think twice before adding new money to these positions.
Instead, I have selected four new stocks, which are attractively priced at the moment and could deliver solid earnings growth over the next few years. Dividend growth investing is all about finding the companies which are best positioned to increase dividends over the long haul. Companies with rising sales and earnings have to strong fundamental foundation that would lead to higher dividends over time and higher stocks prices as well. The best dividend stocks for 2011 include:
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) engages in the research and development, manufacture, and sale of various products in the health care field worldwide. The company operates in three segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Devices and Diagnostics. The company has had issues with product recalls in 2010, which is one of the reasons why the stock was flat this year. The diversified product base and global geographic reach of its products which are used by consumers on a daily basis produces a diversified stream of sustainable cash flow, which should enable the company to withstand any storms successfully. The company tries to grow organically through innovation and investment in R&D, as well as through strategic acquisitions in new opportunities such as vaccines or biosurgical products. Johnson & Johnson is a member of the dividend aristocrats index, and has consistently raised distributions for the past 48 years. Yield: (analysis)
The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) provides consumer packaged goods in the United States and internationally. The company operates in three global business units (GBUs): Beauty and Grooming, Health and Well-Being, and Household Care. The company is expected to grow earnings in the high single to low double digits over the next few years. It has a diverse base of consumer products, which consumers' worldwide use on a daily basis. Tapping the growing emerging market middle class is a major opportunity for the company. Procter & Gamble is a member of the dividend aristocrats index, and has consistently raised distributions for the past 54 years. Yield: (analysis)
Philip Morris International Inc. (PM), through its subsidiaries, engages in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products in markets outside of the United States. While the use of tobacco products is declining in the developed world, emerging market demand is on the increase. In addition, prices typically increase at a rate, which is faster than the rate of decrease in demand. This has translated into higher profits for companies like Philip Morris International, whose branded cigarettes are preferred by consumers worldwide. The company plans to grow organically through innovation of packaging and product lines and through strategic acquisitions. It has raised dividends three times since it was spun off from Altria Group (MO) in 2008. Yield: (analysis)
PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) manufactures, markets, and sells various foods, snacks, and carbonated and non-carbonated beverages worldwide. The company operates in four divisions: PepsiCo Americas Foods (PAF), PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB), PepsiCo Europe, and PepsiCo Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA). Earnings growth could come from synergies associated with the acquisitions of its bottlers, streamlining of operations and cost cutting. The distribution networks of the bottlers acquired could be used to push some of PepsiCo's non-beverage products such as snacks and other foods.Earnings growth could also come from strategic acquisitions, as well as product innovations in health and wellness food and beverage section. PepsiCo is a member of the dividend aristocrats index, and has consistently raised distributions for the past 38 years. Yield: (analysis)
The common characteristic of these stocks is that they have a diverse product base and a global market reach. In addition to that they have strong brand names, which ensures that their products carry a premium value to consumers and makes them less likely to switch based on cost. This allows these companies generate high returns on equity and to shower stockholders with cash in the form of dividends and share buybacks. While these stocks are greatly positioned to benefit from the continued economic expansion in the world, they should do well even if we get a double dip recession, since their products or services are used by consumers on a daily basis.
In order to generate sustainable dividend income for the long run however, a more diversified portfolio consisting of at least 30 stocks should be constructed in order to withstand market forces. Check out the Best Dividend Stock for the Long Run list, which is a good addition to today's post. I will be adding the picks from the other bloggers as they are posted.
The stock picks from the other bloggers along with their 2010 performance include:
The Wild Investor +27.15%
Where does all my Money go 26.56%

Series has averaged 7.4 million viewers overall
NBC has given a full-season order to "Knight Rider."
Decision late Monday repped the Peacock's first back-nine pickup this season. Network's sibling Universal Media Studios is the producer.
"Knight Rider's" pickup wasn't a foregone conclusion. An update of the famed 1980s series, the new "Knight Rider" began as a highly rated TV movie last season, but hasn't fared as well since returning as a regular series.
"Knight Rider" has averaged a 2.4 rating and 7 share among adults 18-49 and 7.4 million viewers overall. Pickup comes as the show won its timeslot with young adults in its most recent airing, on Oct. 15.
Gary Scott Thompson, David Bartis, Doug Liman and Matt Pyken are exec producers of "Knight Rider." Justin Bruening, Deanna Russo, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Paul Campbell, Yancey Arias and Bruce Davison star.

Speaking with style: Mike Shearwood, CEO, Aurora Fashions
By Petah Marian | 8 December 2011
Aurora Fashions CEO Mike Shearwood
Women's wear retailer Aurora Fashions, owner of the Coast, Warehouse and Oasis brands, has moved beyond multichannel retail to something that CEO Mike Shearwood describes as "omnichannel". Here he tells just-style in an exclusive interview how this strategy is having wide-ranging impacts across the retailer's business, from ensuring a seamless offer to opening up inventory across multiple channels.
Aurora Fashions is already experiencing the benefits of developing its "omnichannel offer", having booked a significant uplift from its "Anywhere Everywhere" approach to inventory management.
The retailer revealed to just-style it has seen an "incremental sales increase" of GBP2.5m (US$3.9m) over the past six weeks as it tested an innovative new inventory management scheme that opens up its merchandise across all of its stores - both online and bricks-and-mortar. "If we have it anywhere we have it everywhere," Mike Shearwood says.
Traditionally, retailers allocate stock, with pots for each of their stores and then another for online. What Aurora is doing, is making that stock available to all consumers across its estate, through online, ordering in-store and click-and-collect.
The CEO is forecasting that this way of managing inventory, which was developed in partnership with Retail Assist and BT Expidite, will increase its e-commerce sales "by a third". He says the programme has increased SKU availability by 28% for online customers and has "doubled the online conversion rate".
Describing the evolution towards omnichannel, Shearwood says there was a period when people were talking about pure-play online fashion retailers decimating the channel "as it has done in other sectors like music and electrical goods."
But then they realised they needed a store presence to enrich the experience and have good customer service, "so then everyone started talking about multichannel", to the point where the pure-play guys were thinking "I need stores for the marketing presence."
"Now, if we're using one lot of inventory, we're calling it omnichannel, because the customer wants to transact with us and we will do that in whatever way she wants".
While the retailer has seen significant successes from the trial, it faced significant challenges, particularly around underestimating exactly how many orders would end up going to the stores - with far more than originally expected.
"We had originally thought that we would get three to five orders a day per store, but we found that some stores were coming in in the morning with 200 orders waiting to be picked, packed and delivered," says Shearwood. "We thought that we put enough packing materials and stationery products in the stores to last them a week, but we found that within two hours they had run out. The volumes were much higher than we anticipated."
The company's omnichannel thinking goes beyond inventory management, right through the store to returns, highlighting that items consumers buy online can be returned in-store. "A lot of retailers won't allow customers to return goods bought online to their stores, so you make it easier for her to return, the more she'll buy."
However, convincing staff in its bricks-and-mortar stores of the benefits of online retail has taken some work, because they have seen it "taking sales away".
He says the key to overcoming this hurdle is enabling them to "get the benefits of the sale, whether it's ordered online and fulfilled from the store, or whether its ordered online in their store with delivery to the customer's home".
Indeed this new method of inventory management has won store staff over, with store fulfilled orders requiring extra staff hours, combined with the added benefit of them getting to recognise the sales. "We've had to increase the number of hours worked in the stores. The stores are loving it because they're getting the sales. Our store teams are now loving online," enthuses Shearwood.
Also part of this strategy is the company's 90-minute delivery service, which it began rolling out earlier this year. Shearwood says that 50% of the portfolio now has the service and this will be lifted to 90% by February next year.
Inventory management
While this will offer convenience for customers and mean there "shouldn't be an incidence where we don't have something in a size or colour", it will also have an impact not only on how Aurora manages its inventory, but also on how it buys products.
"Most retailers buy in their stock and say that's for the stores, that's for e-commerce and then the biggest stores will get the biggest chunk. So the smaller stores obviously get less choice and fewer options.
"Ultimately, as a retailer, you end up selling your best products through the top of the chain so you have none left. But at the bottom of the chain you have odd sizes and fragmentation which will go into markdown and sale."
Instead, by opening up its inventory, Aurora's brands will be able to optimise the products they buy, making those in its smaller stores accessible from either online to home delivery, or click-and-collect.
"We'll technically be able to buy shallower, which reduces our fashion risk and also puts us in a position where we can genuinely sell-out of product, and where we can tell our customers hand on heart, if it's available anywhere we will find it for you. If it's not available anywhere, it's sold out."
Shearwood adds that this reduced risk will mean the retailer will also be able to offer more choice as it can buy more products.
While the company has increased the amount of online fulfilment carried out in-store, the retailer has no plans to shift away from a traditional distribution centre model. "We are still utilising the DC, because the most efficient and cost effective way to do it is a pick, pack and dispatch team in our distribution centre".
Developing the store
While all this has been taking place, Aurora has continued to integrate technology into its 1,278 stores in 33 countries.
The company recently re-launched its flagship Oasis store in London's West End, placing digital technology at the heart of the experience. Staff carry mobile iPads that are equipped to handle transactions, as well as allowing customers to flick through the online lookbook.
Shearwood describes these moves as attempting to keep up with its next generation of consumer who "don't have to learn how to use technology, they've grown up with it" and "build it into their everyday lives."
In the past, he says, retailers have moved "at the speed that consumers have been able to adapt to [and learn] new technologies."
But the expectations of today's shoppers means the pace of change will only accelerate - and Aurora Fashions is determined to lead the way.

I don't know where mine actually came from (DECnet-Plus?), and I see
now that newer ones have replaced older ones while I wasn't looking. I
believe that I've found the original files which I modified, and they
should now be available as DTSS$NTP_PROVIDER.C_ORIG and
I gather that there is no official custodian for this stuff. The
latest DTSS$PROVIDER_NTP.C I have (28-MAR-2005 08:43:58.55) includes a
* 28-Mar-2005 Nischay Code changes made for the case QXCM1000202046
* to rectify NTP time ptovider not synchronizing
* with any NTP servers, if atleast one of them
* failed.
but no change in the "Version V2.0-103" at the top. My modified
DTSS$PROVIDER_NTP.C is based on an older (original?) "Version V2.0-103"
DTSS$PROVIDER_NTP.C, not this newer, modified DTSS$PROVIDER_NTP.C.
When I get a chance, I'll look at that latest DTSS$PROVIDER_NTP.C,
and see if needs any help. In the meanwhile, I've put a copy of it next
to the other stuff as DTSS$PROVIDER_NTP_2005.C_ORIG.

You don't get many second chances in life, but Hollywood is known for retakes. So why not give the Academy Awards the opportunity?
Introducing — with a nod to the late, lamented, and never honored Jack Klugman — the Oscar Mulligans, my own effort to go back over the Academy's long history, find a mistake, and correct it.
But remember: This is a zero-sum game. If someone's finally getting a prize, that means someone else has to lose theirs.
It's all unofficial, of course, and reader suggestions are always welcome. But below, another in my week of Oscar wrongs —
set right.
The Undeserving Winner:
John G. Avildsen, best director, "Rocky," 1976, There's nothing wrong with "Rocky" — at least, not the first one, back when its star still looked human and its story wasn't afraid to end with merely a moral victory. But look at the other nominees that year: Alan J. Pakula, "All the President's Men;" Ingmar Bergman, "Face to Face"; Sidney Lumet, "Network"; Lina Wertmuller, "Seven Beauties." And remember: Martin Scorsese wasn't even nominated for "Taxi Driver."
The Totally Robbed Loser:
The Academy's ignorance of Scorsese's work here practically qualifies as blindness, but the worst injustice might have been slighting Alan J. Pakula, a careful filmmaker with a real feel for actors, and an interest in political conspiracy and moral doubt. His fine films included "Klute," "The Parallax View" and "Sophie's Choice," but this movie, his best directed, had a particularly beautiful look and sense of pace. And — oh — he never won an Oscar.

Perhaps the best thing to do to avoid a summer vacation nightmare is to watch the movie "National Lampoon's Vacation" and do the exact opposite. In fact, many of the following tips were inspired by that hilarious movie.
Anyone who's ever been on a family vacation can relate to the Griswold's "Quest For Fun!" as the father, Clark, sarcastically puts it when he's reached the proverbial last straw.
Fortunately, in this case, life is not a movie.
Take the following tips as suggestions, not necessarily answers, because every family is different, and each person within that family is different. Vacations can be a time to embrace your family's idiosyncrasies. You're probably going to be spending a lot of time in cramped quarters like a car, airplane or hotel room. The more you roll with the punches, the less you'll get hit.
No. 5: Find something for everyone
One of the best descriptions of the word "mature" is the ability to delay gratification.
Compromise is the name of the game here. Find something for everyone in your family or group that plays to their individual interests and favorite activities. You can't please all of the people all of the time is a good cliché to keep in mind.
If you're the one in your traveling party who always does the planning, facilitating and organizing, make sure you get input from each person going on the trip or, if they're the type of person who's as hard to get a hold of as a doughnut in the break room, you should still make the effort.
Leave email and voicemail messages, so that when you're on the trip and he or she comes to you to complain -- and you know they will -- you can point to the electronic footsteps you left as evidence of your efforts.
No. 4: Try not to do too much
Most of us "Johnny Lunchboxes" and "Sally Punchclocks" don't get a lot of time off for our vacations.
We have to make some tough logistical decisions about our holiday based on money, time away from work, transportation, lodging, food, etc.
Because of this, it's tempting to try to see and do everything there is to see and do because you only have a small amount of time, and God only knows when you'll be able to take another vacation.
Relax. It's summertime. You don't have to set your alarm clock if you don't want to; you don't have to cook and clean; you don't have to do anything, really. Vacation time is your time. Do what you love. If you're one of those people who just has to schedule everything, schedule in some down time.
No. 3: Don't let problems get you down
How many times have you heard the phrase, "Getting there is half the fun"?
If you've never heard this phrase, chances are excellent that you've heard one similar like, "Why spend all that money to fly first class when coach gets there at the same time for a lot less money?" Or, "Man! When we look back on this, we are going to laugh so hard!"
These are some of the phrases we all use to try and make ourselves feel better about our unfortunate lot in life.
It pays to remind yourself that you're on vacation while you're on vacation. Vacations are never perfect. There will be problems. Don't drive yourself nuts trying to have the first ever perfect vacation. At least you're not at work, right?
No. 2: Be flexible
Try not to schedule everything. Dealing with uncertainty is difficult for some people, and that's cool. No problemo. Go ahead and schedule and plan and organize to your heart's content. Agendas and to-do lists are wonderful ways to ensure that you don't miss or forget anything.

A 34-year-old Fulton man is facing several charges related to an overnight incident in the Oswego County village of Phoenix where he allegedly resisted arrest, elbowing an officer while he was being handcuffed, police say.
Patrick W. Morse, 167 Mullen Road, is facing a felony charge of driving while intoxicated, as well as, charges of driving without a license, refusal to take a breath test, speeding, failure to obey an officer, failure to keep right, resisting arrest and unlawful possession of marijuana, Phoenix Police Chief Rod Carr said.
Morse was arraigned around 4:30 a.m. in Schroeppel town court and lodged in the county jail in lieu of $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond.
At about 2:15 a.m., officer Leroy Thompson saw someone on a Harley-Davidson speeding along the 300 block of Main Street. When Thompson tried conducting a traffic stop, the motorcyclist allegedly kept going. Moments later, Thompson was able to pull over the Harley. As Thompson placed a handcuff on one of the suspect's wrists, Morse resisted and elbowed the officer. Thompson was not hurt, Carr said.

Around the water cooler
It resembled a giant erector set, and the men working on it looked as happy as kids with a new toy at Christmas.
But this was serious business, as the men at Goodyear's Wingfoot Lake hangar were literally building Goodyear's airship future: the first of three larger, faster airships that will replace the company's iconic blimp fleet.
"We are just at the dawn," of a new airship era, Nancy Ray, Goodyear's director of global airship operations, said recently at the hangar.
Behind her, a crew composed of German and American workers assembled a portion of the towering aluminum and carbon fiber internal frame of the airship that will be 246 feet long -- 50 feet longer than a Goodyear blimp.
"I've been in aviation my whole life and to have an opportunity to be a part of this has been amazing," said Goodyear airship mechanic Tom Bradley.
Nearly two years ago, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. said it planned to replace its three-blimp U.S. fleet with the bigger semirigid airships, to be jointly built by Goodyear and the German ZLT Zeppelin company.
Bennigan's emerges from bankruptcy
Five years after a bankruptcy filing closed all of the Bennigan's restaurants, the Irish-themed bar-and-grill chain is back in business. Investors supporting the resurrection of the brand are betting that the way to become the next big thing in the casual-dining sector is to bring back an old favorite.
The restaurants have been given a new logo, a new one-page menu, and a brighter, more modern interior design.
But Bennigan's is going to face the same bar-and-grill rivals that made survival difficult in the past -- chains like Applebee's, Houlihan's and T.G.I. Friday's -- as well as fresh competition from the explosion of fast-casual restaurants like Chipotle.
Spam embraces social media, anyway you slice it
After 75 years, Spam is going social. Big time.
Hormel's popular canned meat product is attempting to boost both brand loyalty and sales by marketing in social media with real-time messages through its mascot and spokesman, Sir Can-A-Lot.
A new season for "Dancing With the Stars" began? There was Sir Can-A-Lot the next day doing (what else?) the cancan.
March Madness is under way? There's Sir Can-A-Lot flying across the screen attempting to do a Michael Jordan-esque slow-motion slam dunk.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Has anyone ever been delayed on a background check because it was a weekend. Many gov agencies shut down or have skeleton crew on weekends. I ask this because I have never bought on a weekend.

shouldn't make a diff, the fbi, usually has at least a couple of newbs manning the phones for this stuff , on the weekends.
October 22, 2006, 01:15 PM
I usually make purchases on the weekend because I don't have much time between when I get off work and when the shops close. Never had a problem or delay. I would think purchases increase on the weekends for the same reason. Maybe gun shop employees here can answer that.
October 22, 2006, 01:25 PM
The last gun I bought, my XD45, was on a Saturday afternoon about 5 PM. They said it might take a while and they were closing at 6. I gave them my cell phone # and went to the range. About 30 minutes later, they called and said it was ready to go. I picked up the gun and was back at the range shooting the 45 within 30 minutes. Total time spent was 1 hour even with the additional driving time. I couldn't find anything to complain about.

Get your CHL.
In Texas if you have a CHL, no background check needed, just fill out the form and go.
October 22, 2006, 03:04 PM
mosttoy, if you look he's from Ohio. What applies in Texas, doesn't apply to every state.
As to the original post. Unless Ohio has a mandatory 7 day waiting period, you shouldn't have any problems. The last gun I bought was on a weekend and the background check only took maybe 2 minutes. The guy who called it in was pretty happy after getting off the phone, exclaiming, "That's how fast and smooth all these calls should take!!" and I was out of there in no time at all.
October 22, 2006, 04:58 PM
Thanks to all for the replies.
I didnt think it should be a problem since most sales probably take place on the weekend.
October 22, 2006, 05:11 PM
I went into Wallyworld for targets one afternoon. I saw a great deal on a shotgun. I snapped it up - and I woulda walked out with it had the NICS system not been down that day.
Sadly, I had to wait a week... but I was still tickled by the fact that I could buy a gun along side a bottle of coke.
That's america! :D
October 23, 2006, 12:19 AM
I know, what applies in TX doesn't apply in OH, and the same goes for Connecticut stuff not necesarily being the same as Ohio. In CT, the State Police/ DPS are the point of contact for call in checks. On Sundays (with a few exceptions) nobody is in the office, as of the last budget crunch, and the automatred system conveniently goes down with regularity then :scrutiny: , anyhow, temperary denials (delayed) responses are given with a reference number, and the seller simply calls in and gets the auth the next business day, and things are good to go.

The death of an Ohio teen from varicella should serve as a reminder that catch-up vaccination of older children and adolescents can prevent severe complications and death from infection with varicella-zoster virus.
In March 2009 the 15-year-old girl, who was otherwise healthy but hadn't received the varicella vaccination, was hospitalized with a rash, fever (temperature, 101°F) (38.4°C), and shortness of breath. Initially diagnosed with septic shock, she was given intravenous acyclovir, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and antifungal medications. Health personnel started noninvasive mechanical ventilation, but as her respiratory functions deteriorated, she needed invasive mechanical ventilation.

As most of you have probably heard, last week a small town in Connecticut was devastated by a school shooting that killed 20 young children and six educators. As we continue to learn more about this tragedy, so many of us are angry and frustrated with violence that has plagued the United States and moved into our once-safe school environments. Just as powerful, though, are our feelings of awe and respect for the teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School who did everything they could to protect the children there from harm.
This incident has reminded me that teachers—no matter what country they work in and what resources they possess—have some of the most difficult jobs in the world. Not only are they responsible for the huge task of helping children to learn, but also for teaching morals, wiping children's noses when they run, and protecting children under the most difficult circumstances. In addition to parents and families, teachers are the most important participants in ensuring the success of our work at Room to Read. They are a huge part of our overall success.
So in this holiday season, as we think about the people who matter most in our lives, I wanted to send a special thank you to the teachers around the world who work hard to protect, influence, educate and change lives.
My very best to you and your families during this holiday
Chief Program Officer
on behalf of the entire Room to Read Family

Question about aileron rudder mix function
This is my first time trying to use aileron and rudder mixed with my radio. I used the mix function on my Spektrum DX7s radio and the resulting control surface directions are as follows:
I move the aileron stick to the right and the right aileron moves up and the rudder moves slightly to the left. Are these the correct directions for mixing these two functions? My initial thought would be that the rudder would need to move right when giving right aileron but I wasn't sure.

You want the rudder to move to the right in this case. You want the rudder to move towards the same direction as the bank you are inputting. Right bank, right rudder. Left bank, left rudder.
Two things can cause the results you are getting:
1. Your rudder servo is operating in the wrong direction to start with. What does it do when you move the rudder stick to the right? does the rudder move to the right? If not, then that servo needs to be reversed in the transmitter. Then your mix will work the way you intended it to.
If that is operating correctly, then:
2. You are using a negative percentage for your mix. If you crank the percentage up to a positive number, your mix will work the way you intended. (or vice versa. Sometimes, the negative/positive doesn't necessarily mean anything, you just need to roll the scroll button one direction or the other to get the desired results).
Hopefully that all makes sense...ask again if it is still confusing.
IMO, mixes of this kind should be used to correct a control coupling issue like in KE flight. EG: if the plane rolls in or out of KE when rudder is applied a mix from rudder to ailerons can be used to correct this.
If you are thinking about using a mix to "help your model turn faster" by mixing in a "coordinated turn" then its probably a BAD idea...Doing this creates a crutch that will keep you from becoming a better pilot, Its an old rumor that this is hard and or takes years of practice to learn... typically spread by pilots that don't want you to be better than them.
Is there another reason you want to use this mix on your model?
PS. depending on which direction you set the mix up + or - will determine the direction of the rudder or slave channels movement.
I use rudder/ileron mix most of the time for relaxed flying of high wing scale models. I can switch it off or override it (give extra rudder throw) when needed or desired. Aileron/rudder mix counters "adverse yaw" where the down-going aileron makes drag on that wing which fights turning in the desired direction. It is good to practice manual coordination of rudder and ailerons for use in aerobatic maneuvers or general flying. Use of "differential ailerons", where ailerons go up a lot and down very little is another way to counter adverse yaw and make turns easier and smoother. Differential ailerons requires two aileron servos connected to two channels and programmed mixing. Aileron/rudder mix is a nice feature to have available if you want to use it . Comes in handy for landings and takeoffs as well as graceful turning with aileron-equpped planes. Ercoupes used coupled ailerons and rudder for easier and safer flying. Tricycle landing gears are a real "crutch". GPS is another crutch. Electric starters on cars and motorcycles were called "crutches"

The OP's question was about whether his mix function was working or set up properly, not about whether he should be "allowed" to use it or not. That would be a debate for another thread.
I could see using this mix to get a nice scale model around the circuit in a safe, secure, easy manner. On the other hand, this mix would corrupt the handling of a full-on aerobat. It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish, and that is totally up to Riodiler.
That is why this hobby is great and cursed at the same time. We have the freedom to do it the way we want...but tend to have a lot of people telling us why we are doing it wrong.

I've never noticed a need for mixing rudder in with ailerons. But I have considered mixing opposite aileron with rudder to prevent the inside wing from lowering during turns. For now I do it manually after the turn is complete. I'd like to be able to do it during the turn but I always give too much...
High wing models definitely need rudder input along with aileron deflection, either manually applied or using aileron/rudder mix. Low wing models i.e warbirds and sport models, generally turn well with aileron and elevator inputs, rudder inputs are optional. During landings, ailerons become ineffective at low airspeeds but rudder remains effective for keeping wings level.
My SE5a needed rudder input along with ailerons to turn correctly and I'm glad I have a computer radio to help me. Without it it seemed like the tail wanted to drop and fall out of the sky. I use whatever helps me have a good experience. I like having a gyro on the rudder of my H9/P-51. I use it for takeoffs, gear up and gyro goes off.
Well the OP was clearly confused about this asking about the direction of the rudder deflection so before going into long winded discussions about the idea I thought it wise to ask him why he wanted to do it? It seems it was just on a whim as he has not bothered to look at the thread again instead leaving us all to argue about the merits of the idea.

There are situations in which it is important to the physician to know whether or not his patient has an inflammatory or tissue-destroying process. Time-honored aids to the solution of this problem have been the patient's temperature, leucocyte count, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Recently the detection of the C-reactive protein in human blood has been gaining attention as an index to inflammation or tissue destruction within the body. This procedure has been used especially for the determination of activity in rheumatic fever.* It has been shown that it is a sensitive guide to rheumatic inflammation, that it disappears after suppression of clinical signs and symptoms of activity with either salicylates or steroid therapy, and that it reappears if there is a clinical relapse. The times of disappearance and reappearance ordinarily precede the corresponding change in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
The C-reactive protein has not been reported in the serum of

How do these qbits get shared, in the case of interstellar communication without trusted couriers? Wouldn't they have to get transmitted? If Alice sent them to Bob, and he is sending back results that depend on them, that is a round trip. Or can Bob send all the necessary shared qbits to Alice at the same time as his classical information, or slightly earlier? In that case you would avoid a round trip. It seems like it's risky, though, to send a qbit (or two) in entangled states, and then send classical information that tells exactly what basis to measure with in order to get reliable information out. Won't it be harder to detect an eavesdropper if she knows what basis to use to avoid perturbing the data? Hal

While inspecting a container of bananas at the Port of Wilmington, customs agents discovered two brick-like objects hidden in the ventilation system.
Then they found two dozen more.
Inside those bundles were about 63 pounds of cocaine with a street value estimated at about $2 million, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The seizure was made June 6 by tactical operations officers from Wilmington and Philadelphia.
The refrigerated container was aboard the M/V Dole Chile, part of the Western Hemisphere fleet of produce giant Dole.
The cocaine-carrying container was picked up at one of the ship's regular stops - Colombia, Costa Rica or Honduras, said CBP spokesman Steve Sapp, who declined to specify which one.

What's up at P.I. Downs
So, who do you like Saturday? Revolutionary? Orb? Goldencents? The Man in Black?
Um, that last one is not a horse in the Kentucky Derby. It's a reference to Johnny Cash, the late, great country star. Terry Lee Goffee will present his tribute show to Cash on Saturday night in the Clubhouse at P.I. Downs.
If you're a betting person, which you probably are if you hang out at the casino, you can bet on hearing "Folsom Prison Blues," "Ring of Fire," "Hurt," and "I Walk the Line," among others. Like an actor, Goffee plays Cash on stage, talking in first person, as if he's the man -- the Man in Black.
As for the Derby, don't expect to walk at post time (around 6:20 p.m.) and sit in the clubhouse. It's sold out; standing room only will be allowed.
The clubhouse will feature a Fancy Fillie Hat Contest; the winner gets $250 to Sensory 3. Speaking of Sensory 3, it opens for betting at 3 p.m. ($50 minimum).
Drive-through wagering on the Derby will be available in the Downs' lower lot from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Racing fans can also get a $5 mint julep in an official 2013 Derby glass while supplies last.
-Live racing at the Downs will start May 12 at 5:25 p.m.
- 25 or 64 (Chicago, Earth, Wind & Fire, more) plays Friday in the clubhouse.

An airboat captain doing a tour with six tourist on board had his hand bitten off by an alligator he had been feeding according to reports and witnesses.
Captain Wally, as he is known, reportedly was feeding alligators and leading one of them around when the alligator had enough and bit off his hand.
Captain Wally was transported to a Naples hospital. The alligator was caught and immediately dissected and the hand was retrieved. Doctors hope they will be able to reattach then hand.
The The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a quick statement that people are not suppose to feed wildlife and that most attacks happen because of human intervention such as feeding or trying to make a wild animal a pet.

I don't see how putting residential space immediately adjacent to a public sports facility instead of retail space makes sense.
The entire plan is interesting, but doesn't seem bloody realistic whatsoever.
Not only is it unrealistic, it's an eyesore, and will be a nightmare for the people who live there.
Have you actually seen the area surrounding NVMC? It's a series of sleepy little villages and hamlets, where most of the street lights are still the old fashioned type that are strung up on wires/cables.
The tallest buildings in the area are church steeples for the most part, for God's sake.
The neighborhoods in the area are some of the most affluent in the United States. They have no interest in the urban sprawl Wang wants to bring to their lovely neighborhoods.

Fire investigators are looking into a second fire that hit a Milwaukee home, where authorities said another blaze killed a 7-year-old boy in October.
Milwaukee firefighters said they were called to the home on 23rd and Hopkins streets on Sunday evening.
Fire investigators said the home is vacant because of the damage it sustained following a fire on Oct. 6. Firefighters said the boy died in the fire after his babysitter fell asleep while cooking.
No one was hurt in the latest fire, authorities said.

Lakers in elite class says Camby
LOS ANGELES - Although his vantage point will be different for the rematch than it was when the two Staples Center NBA teams met last week, nothing about the Lakers have changed in the opinion of Clippers forward Marcus Camby.
"They're a great team,'' Camby said. "We saw first hand what they can do. They have probably the best player on the planet on their team, also. They're going to show us any sympathy. So, we have to find a way to come out and put together to solid halves.''
With the 6-foot-11 Camby back after missing the entire exhibition season with a bruised right heel, the Clippers can match Camby and seven-foot center Chris Kaman against the Lakers' starting frontline of seven-foot center Andrew Bynum and seven-foot power forward Pau Gasol.

Ball of Foot Pain, otherwise known as Metatarsalgia, is a condition typically caused by overuse. Pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot are common among athletes or anyone who engages in high-impact sports. Others can experience ball of foot pain due to high heels or ill-fitting shoes.
Increased pressure on the ball of the foot can be caused by constricting or high-heeled footwear. Usually this pain comes on gradually over time. Using a shoe with a wide toe box and good support can be helpful, as well as using inserts to relieve the pressure on the ball of the foot.
Another condition known as "spread foot" can occur in the metatarsal area, and that is caused by weakened metatarsal bones, which cause the toes to spread. Again, properly-fitting footwear, low heels, and a wide toe box can alleviate these symptoms.
Shoes with good support, a wide toe box, and low heels are best if you want to lessen the symptoms of Metatarsalgia or avoid them entirely. Other products that can help include:

Stellar Knights has been founded on the idea that there are many great games out there just waiting to be made. Games capable of bringing back the feelings of exploration we had as kids when we were journeying through the woods in our grandmother's backyard. Games capable of rivaling the excitement we felt when we started to plan that tree fort. Games perhaps, that are even capable of invoking the emotions we felt when our best friend moved away.

Long ago in a village lived a old wise woman called grandmother Lynch,
some people said she was a hundred and twelve years old and she looked
every bit of it. She smoked a pipe a little clay pipe
and she had a yellow nicotine stain down the side of her face. She was
a rugged nasty mouth old
cow. In this village lived a family called Stanleys the Stanleys were
farmers and the Stanley father had died young like all the Stanley men
folk he suddenly died. So his son inherited the farm
along with his mother.
His mother worried about her son because her son like his father was
always exhausted and he always
had mysterious scratches all over his body like all the Stanley men
folk before him. It was well-known that when the Stanley men folk begin
to get scratches all over their bodies they always suddenly died. No
doctor had ever been able to help the Stanley men folk. The Stanley
decided to ask the evil mouth nasty old grandmother Lynch, for help she
was desperate for help.
She told grandmother
Lynch, about the Stanley history how their men folk always died young
shortly after scratches appeared on their bodies. Grandmother Lynch,
told the Stanley mother to go home and act like normal and go to bed at
seven o'clock like all farming families do and I will come to your
farmhouse just before midnight. The Stanley, mother
did as she was told. Grandmother Lynch, with a lantern turned up at the
farmhouse just before midnight as she said she would. The farmhouse's
had doors that you could open the top half and leave the bottom half
closed. Grandmother Lynch, stood in the corner of the house in the
shade and waited to see what happened if blah blah blah. cannot see

Tip of the Day - The Pre-Match Calm-Down

Tip of the Day - Play the Middle Against Tall Players; Wide Angles Against Short Players

Tip of the Day - Play Against Conventional Wisdom
Larry Hodges Nov. 14, 2013

For a company that is putting up solid sales growth, has a great brand, and has seen its stock price rise more than 40% in the last 12 months, Saks (UNKNOWN: SKS.DL2 ) didn't demand much of a premium. Hudson's Bay, the operator behind Lord & Taylor, picked up Saks for just $16 per share, representing a 4.5% bump to Friday's closing price.
Why is this good news?
It seems like an odd move from Saks' point of view. Hudson's Bay posted a loss in its last quarter, while Saks put up a nice profit in its most recent period. Hudson's Bay also has almost no cash on hand to finance the transaction. The business had about $27 million in cash at its last reporting in May, and it's going to finance the acquisition with equity, debt, and secured notes.
You know what, speaking of the word "acquisition," let's call this what it really is -- a merger. Saks has a larger market capitalization, and while Hudson's Bay runs substantially more locations, it only barely edged out Saks in total revenue last quarter.
Management on both sides was eager to spin the big win for Saks shareholders. The closing price represented an "approximate 30% premium to the May 20, 2013 closing price, the day before media speculation began." So really, Hudson's Bay was making Saks an offer it would have been crazy to refuse.
Never mind that Saks put up a 5.9% increase in year-over-year comparable sales last quarter, or that its operating income margin was 8.6% in the same quarter. Surely the business will find some great inspiration from Hudson's Bay, which managed a 4% increase in comparable sales -- with Lord & Taylor experiencing a 1.4% decline -- and a loss at the operational level. Maybe some of that difference is that Saks is managing $436 of annual revenue per square foot, while Hudson's Bay's combined brands are running under $200.
So why is this good news?
The benefit for Saks is, actually, that Lord & Taylor isn't as good. Saks is still managing some stores in those malls that no one goes to anymore -- you know, the 90% hat stores mall that still has that cookie place -- and it's expensive to break out of all the leases and shut the places down. Now, it can swap out a lower-end store with a fancy name for the Saks locations, taking less of a hit on the revenue and cost sides.
The combined company could also create a real estate investment trust, using the flagship locations under its umbrella. Saks' New York City flagship alone is valued at more than $800 million. So there's plenty of room for investors to be hopeful about new real estate opportunities.
But what I think is the best bit of news is that Saks gets 40 days to seek better bids. If I were running the place, it would be selling chocolate and board games -- oh, and I'd go look for a better company to join up with. Hudson's Bay may be the best offer out there right now, but it's simply uninspiring. Saks management can -- and should -- do better.
Saks isn't the only retailer on the cusp of a big change. In fact, the entire retail space is in the midst of the biggest paradigm shift since mail order took off at the turn of last century. Only those most forward-looking and capable companies will survive, and they'll handsomely reward those investors who understand the landscape.

A Reply to Swann and Palladino's Critique of Folsom and Teply's Model Survey
Larry Teply
Creighton University - School of Law
Ralph Folsom
University of San Diego School of Law
November, 28 2010
The Trademark Reporter, Vol 197, 1988
This article is a reply to a critique of the authors' model survey relating to generic names and brand names in trademark litigation. The article lists several critiques by two leading members of the trademark bar and responds to each of those critiques. The article starts by discussing the primary significance test, which in general, describes how to determine whether the primary significance of a word is a generic term or a trademark. It then moves on to explain how the primary significance test should be applied when consumers understand a word to be both a generic term and a trademark. The final areas that the article covers are the role of potential consumer confusion in the primary significance test, how the survey should be conducted, and what should be included in the survey.

How to Create a Cool Club Name
Three Methods:Sample Club DocumentsCreating Your Club NameGetting Your Club StartedCommunity Q&A
If you're going to start an awesome club for you and your friends, then you're going to have to create a cool club name to go with it. Whether you want a top-secret club or a club that everyone's going to know about, you can follow these tips to create the coolest club name imaginable.
Sample Club Documents
Method 1
Creating Your Club Name
1Make a list of the activities that you want to do in your club. What's the point of your club? Do you just want to get together and talk or play, or do you want to do something at school or in your neighborhood? The purpose of your club will have a big effect on the name that you choose.
2Decide whether your club is public or private. Do you want your club name to describe what your club is all about? Or do you have a secret club that needs a name that will keep other people from knowing what the club's all about? For an open club, you need a name that anyone can understand. For a closed club, come up with an inside joke or a code name.
3Brainstorm with your members. Get together and make a list of ideas. You'll be surprised at what you'll come up with in a group that you couldn't have come up with on your own.
- Think of something that all of your club members have in common. If you all like the same music, then you can add something about your favorite band to your club name.
- Break out your thesaurus. If you can say something ordinary in an extraordinary way, then your club name will really stand out from the crowd.
- Choose a name from a book, television program or online game. Sometimes, it's okay to borrow from something that's already been created.
4Keep your club name short. A 3 or 4-word name is easy to remember and easy to abbreviate.
Method 2
Getting Your Club Started
1Design a logo. Once you've come up with your club name, design a logo to go with it. You can even take your logo to a screen printer and have some T-shirts made for your members.
3Elect some officers. You can have a president, vice-president and treasurer, or you can make up your own types of officers depending on your club idea.
4List the things you'll need. If you're starting a babysitting club, for instance, you may need some money to take babysitting classes or to put an ad in your local newspaper.
5Draw up a budget. To get money, you can charge dues to your members, or you can ask your parents to help. If you want to raise money, think about doing a car wash or some other type of fundraiser, like a bake sale.
6Have your first meeting. After your first meeting, you can either meet whenever you feel like it, or you can schedule some regular meetings once or twice per week.
Community Q&A
Is it good to have a standard, straightforward name like "Book Club", "Chess Club", or "D&D Club"?wikiHow ContributorYes. You can keep it simple so everyone knows exactly what it is and because something too clever might make other people cringe.
Can I start more than one club at a time?wikiHow ContributorSure, you can start however many you like, or join them together.
If I want to raise money for charities how will I send it?
How many people should be In a club
- Only add members you can actually trust and only when everyone agrees to include the new member.
- If you make up a name and you don't like it after a while, feel free to change it. It's okay to try out some different ideas before settling on a permanent name.
- If you want it to be secret try to think of a cool name you already know and then no one will know what it's about.
- If you can't think of a good name, try to auto-generate a name. You could use a random online word generator to get some ideas.
- If you have a secret club, but have someone who cannot keep a secret don't invite them in to your club.
- Use the initials of the club members' names to form an awesome name. For example: if the club members' names are Jodie, Bob, Tom, Lizzie, Sam and Alison, you could do TALJBS or something. Then no one will know what it's about!
- If you can't think of a good name think of any random words.
- Make sure that your club name stays positive. You want to avoid getting in trouble by calling your club something that's unkind or inappropriate.

FREEPORT, Ill. - For facing down attempts to curb their free speech rights, 14 people were arrested yesterday evening when they marched on the Bain-owned Sensata plant here to demand a meeting with the manager.
The march on the plant was in response to threats by top Bain management to shutter the plant even sooner than the planned December closure if workers continued their protests. The Bain managers came from the company's headquarters in Attelboro, Mass. on Thursday and delivered their threat directly to Freeport's mayor, George Gaulrapp, who has been standing with the workers.
Some 170 outsourced Sensata workers, as they battle to save their jobs, have also thrust Mitt Romney's role as "outsourcer-in-chief" into the national spotlight, potentially impacting the national election less than two weeks away.
Those arrested yesterday include civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, Victory Bell-Rockford, an alderman form the neighboring town of Rockford, three Sensata workers - Dot Turner, Bonnie Borman, and Joanne Penniston - and several individuals representing their unions - Brandon Cambell, Ted Denver, and George Welitshimsky of the United Auto Workers, Mel Turner of the United Steelworkers, and Keith Kelleher of SEIU Healtcare Illinois. Together with the nine arrested in previous actions at the plant, people in town are calling the entire group the "Bainport 23."
"Bainport" is the protest tent-city encampment workers set up across the road from the plant 45 days ago.
"Sometimes you have to take a stand for what you believe in." said Bonnie Borman, an arrestee who has worked at the plant for 23 years. "Even though I have given my life to this place, I was arrested for simply wanting to meet with the manager."
"Today, I was proud to stand up against the outsourcing of American jobs," said Joanne Penniston, another arrested Sensata worker. "We are sending a clear message to Bain - and to all companies that decide to cut and run on American workers. We're not backing down."
"This is the essence of the American struggle," said Rev. Jesse Jackson. "It is the fight to keep our jobs."
While management refused to answer repeated calls, Tom Gaulrapp, another Sensata worker (no relation to the mayor), told the Peoples World that there are only about 60 of the 170 outsourced workers still on the job in the plant. The workers had to train their overseas replacements who were flown in and housed at company expense.
Sensata manufactures auto sensors and controls for cars.
Workers say they will continue - and even escalate - their protests between now and Election Day, Nov. 26. They plan a major rally on Sat., Oct 27 at their Bainport encampment. United Auto Workers President Bob King has announced that he will join workers at that rally.
