As the author points out in his preface, every general practitioner of medicine is called upon to advise or treat patients suffering from rectal fistulae and many times, if not usually, finds himself confronted by a confusing array of symptoms and conditions with which he feels unable to cope. As a rule little attention is paid in the clinics of our medical schools to this great class of conditions which are by no means infrequent, but on the contrary, constitute a very common class of complaints in the public at large.

Wakeup call no. 2 arrived Tuesday, when an undefeated and seventh-ranked Vol squad suffered an embarrassing 89-82 home-floor loss to the unranked Oakland Golden Grizzlies, who entered play with a 5-5 record. Whether the Vols come out smoking tonight - as they did following their previous upset loss - remains to be seen. After two wakeup calls, however, they at least should be alert.
Being alert would represent an upgrade over their performance vs. Oakland. The Vols led by 13 points (61-48) with 16 minutes left and by eight (76-68) with 7 minutes remaining. The Big Orange fell asleep at this point, however, enabling the Grizzlies to make a 13-0 run that produced an 81-76 lead and, ultimately, victory.
Tennessee (7-1) should be able to bounce back tonight. Charlotte has a 4-6 record and is without leading scorer Shamari Spears, who was dismissed from the team four games ago.
Minus Spears, the 49ers' top scoring threats are guards Jamar Briscoe (14.8 points per game) and Derrio Green (12.3 ppg). Each averages 4.0 assists per game. Briscoe stands 5-feet-10, Green 6-feet-2.
Center Chris Braswell, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound sophomore, is the third-leading scorer at 10.3 points per game. He also leads in rebounding at 6.7 per game.
Rounding out Charlotte's starting five are 6-foot-6, 200-pound Javarris Barnett (4.8 points per game) and a guy with the greatest name in college hoops - 6-foot-6, 220-pound senior An'Juan Wilderness. Every time he's fouled on a basket An'Juan shoots an and-one. You gotta love it.
Tennessee's top priority tonight will be to put together two good halves. Against Oakland, the Vols scored a season-high 50 points in the first half but allowed a season-high 50 points in the second half.
CBS College Sports Network will televise tonight's action.
NOTES: Jeronne Maymon, a 6-7, 258-pound power forward, will be eligible to play for the Vols tonight after sitting out a transfer year following his departure from Marquette.... Charlotte's 70-63 defeat of Tennessee in Round 1 of the 2001 NCAA Tournament was the last straw for Jerry Green, who was fired as the Vols' coach days later.... Tennessee returns to the home hardwood Tuesday night to face Southern Cal, coached by another former Vol head man, Kevin O'Neill.

On a recent episode of Discovery channel's hit TV show, "Auction Kings," I was asked to review, authenticate and appraise an Arabian saddle. It wasn't just any old saddle, it was an Arabian saddle commissioned by the royal court of Morocco.
The Arabian horse is the original work horses. The Arabian is the oldest known breed of riding horse. They are a breed of incredible energy and intelligence, with a gentle disposition. Their backs are short in order to carry heavy loads and they have been the horse of choice for some of history's heroes such as George Washington, Alexander the Great and Napoleon.
Of course, these historical figures rode other breeds of horses, too.
When compared to other breeds, the Arabians have large chests to compensate for their large lungs, an identifying characteristic. Arabians are marked by a distinctive dished profile: large, lustrous, wide-set eyes on a broad forehead, small, curved ears and large, efficient nostrils.
The Arabians were bred by the Bedouins as war horses in the vast Arabian desert and these horses could withstand travel over long distances. They could travel for long periods of time because of their large lung capacity and endurance under pressure. Arabian horses are still seen as the undisputed champion of endurance events. They are the marathon runners of the equine world.
The saddle itself was easy to identify as a saddle made for an Arabian horse. The saddle had a cantle or very high back and a pommel or front that was characteristic in size to those made specifically for Arabian horses. The saddle in question was a 20th century saddle because earlier saddles would have used goat skin or camel skin to support the stirrups and this saddle used rope.
This saddle featured a unique set of stirrups. The stirrup was one of the milestones in saddle development. The first stirrup-like object was invented in in the 2nd century B.C. Back then, the stirrup consisted of a simple leather strap in which the rider's toe was placed.
It offered very little support to the rider. The nomadic tribes in northern China are thought to have been the inventors of the modern stirrup, but the first known representation of a rider with paired stirrups was found in China in a Jin Dynasty tomb from around 300 A.D. The stirrup appeared to be in widespread use across China by 475 A.D. After circa 475 A.D., the horse stirrup spread throughout Europe. This invention gave great support to the rider and quickly became of essential use in .
The "Auction Kings' " saddle had a relationship with the Arabian Horse breeders alliance, according to the auction seller. It was made on commission from HRH Mohammed VI, King of Morocco.
The King has been a great patron of the Arabian Breeders World Cup for years. The saddle was said to have been commissioned as an award for a race winner with all of the trailings attached. Such saddles typically bring $500 to $900 at auction but are far more valuable as trophies.
In addition to King Mohammed, many other celebrities rode Arabians. One noted Arabian horse enthusiast was American actor Patrick Swayze ("Dirty Dancing").
Today, many horse lovers choose Arabians as their pet of choice. They are wonderful, impressive animals with a fascinating legacy dating back to the ancient times.

George Osborne is refusing to bail out Kenneth Clarke, the Justice Secretary, who is looking for £130 million to pay for the Government's sentencing U-turn.
The Chancellor has made clear that he will not reopen Mr Clarke's four-year budget deal and that he must find extra savings to fund the rethink.
Mr Clarke wanted to squeeze extra money out of the Treasury after being ordered by David Cameron to scrap plans to reward early guilty pleas with shorter sentences.
Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, said that the climbdown showed the Government to be in a "total mess" over sentencing policy.

homade tail boom
sorry its rough but it is just an idea/concept...I actually cut up my wifes HDPE plastic cutting board.she was thrilled
If you'll notice I put the horizontal fin on the tail at 15*-20* angle hoping for more forward flight... has anyone played with concept before? also I lightened the flybar and moved my battery way forward. I'll have to get back to ya on the flight charactoristics. I see that RcRiveSud makes a tail boom with moving funs. Does it work?
Outstanding! No, the Rcvd tail assembly has no real benefit. Most of these helis will never achieve enough forward flight speed to actually use the rear stabilizer to any great degree although lots of guys have tried. As KJ quoted a more than a few pages back you can effectively fly these with no tail at all. Your workmanship is incredible! I tried a tail mount much like this about a year ago, not nearly as well done as yours. And I could not get the tail boom to stay solidly mounted in the boom support for more than a few flights. Either the plastic mount was stretching out the hole or the aluminum boom was compressing. I never did find out.

By the way I only have about an hour into that whole boom
going to the indoor park in afew to try her out, I'll let you later how it worked. Also heres a peak at what else I've got going!!!
If she only knew....I'd say I crested thE $8 BILLS mark just in R&D
You can cut off the U-shaped battery holders and just leave the part that screws into the frame. You can also make another plastic piece that mounts below what's left of the battery holders and that gives you a nice flat surface for the battery to sit on. If your batteries are on the heavy side, you can make a U-shape piece out of music wire that goes around the battery and secures to each side of the frame. My Velcro didn't hold my stock battery well enough and it would come un-stuck mid flight on my Lama 4.
I snapped! Yesterday after not being able to fly any of my newer modded vtail CX's due to some issues with my DD mixers that Dan at Dionysus is taking care of for me, I stayed up till 3am building a modded CX3 battlescarred body to have something to fly indoors. I swear it is made out of CA glue and tape.The wind has just been ripping outside for days on end with nasty weather. The only thing flying in my neck of the woods are trees as they are coming down. So I pulled an old plastic platform out of my parts bin and got started. I mounted up a stock set of motors that I had to pull back off a few times so I could properly dremel out the mounting holes to get correct gear clearance. Man, I forgot how crummy the stock plastic CX platforms were in that respect. Even my old stock servos needed work. I ended up adding a set of longer arms and 3rd holed the links to an old microheli swash. I had to loctite the correct sized balls into the swash and soak it in oil to loosen it up before installing it.
I pulled a bag of Xtreme gears and outer shafts out and discovered on every one of them that the bottom bearing for the inner shaft was pressed into the gear so it rotates out of round. I will have to make a note on my build sheet if this is the case with all of them. What happens is that it throws the inner shaft out of balance at the bottom as the outer shaft rotates and makes centering the shaft and measuring gear gap pretty tough. Since the plastic platform had a set of aluminum 450 skids mounted for my sons trainer I was going to build (vtail parts ordered and in the mail) I just left them on and carved up the CX3 glue-monster body to fit. I forgot how tail heavy these were until I started the first hover. OMG, it took some tuning but I got it perfect.
Also since I sent out the last CX3 3in1 to buluesz all I had left was my CX2 3in1 without a gyro, and my cheapie fake spectrum Rx, so in they went along with my last boomtown battery alarm lighting kit that needed some serious soldering work to mend all its issues. So did the 3in1 as I had robbed the battery lead out of it earlier. Then I took one of the many extended shafts now in my collection and added a carbon fibre spacer to it so I could clamp down the upper head. The stock upper plastic bearing support also wobbled out of round so I ended up fishing an old scarred up aluminum one out of my pile and putting it on. There was a baggie with some old leftover Rcvd grips that I then cut off the ball to get the flybar link to fit. I again just drilled and tapped it for a 3.5mm ball and hooked it up to my freshly made carbonfibre flybar since all my old stock ones were bent. I clipped the end off one of them and tediously pulled the center hub off the wire and replaced it with some 1.5mm shortened CF rod for two good reasons. One, it is much shorter and better performing, and two, I was able to bend it slightly to fit through the small opening in the CX3 without having to pull the whole top assembly off in removing the body. Which had to be done quite a few times. I did end up having to sand the balls on the flybar to allow the link to move easily by chucking the new assembly into a drill and just sanding the rotating ball much like a lathe with a file. I also ended up dremelling the lower link to clear the grips for full movement. Since I had a bag full of esky lower center hubs I used one instead of the eflite lower hub with the pins so that I could use a pair of those crummy Rcvd swash links that fit through the guides. A also used a heat sync on the motors just because I plan on torturing this thing. I put on a fresh set of Xtreme blue blades, charged up my batteries, and found an old indestructible battery tray that I modded to fit past the enormous skids, and now have the battle scarred Cx in the air! Yipppeeeee! I am flying, it is unbelievably ugly but it does the job.
And they have me on drugs that are supposed to slow me down...........

This is without a doubt, one of our favorite TED Talks videos ever. Meet Usman Riaz, if you haven't already, a 21-year-old Pakistani musician who learned to play percussive guitar* by watching YouTube videos. He becomes a YouTube sensation himself in 2011 with a viral video for his song "Fire Fly". We are not sure how in the world we missed it, but one thing is certain: watching his performance is like witnessing one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Absolutely bewitching.
Usman plays guitar like an introverted genius alien from another planet who landed here, happened to pick up a guitar, and proceeded to make all the sounds its human inventors never even considered. – TED blog

*Percussive guitar is a style that involves striking the guitar and playing the fretboard like a piano soundboard.

A Houston man is behind bars, accused of raping his 15-year-old sister-in-law on two occasions in January, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Omar Gaitan, 21, is charged with sexual assault of a child and is being held in the Harris County Jail under a $30,000 bond, court records show.
The victim told Houston police that Gaitan entered her bedroom on Jan. 1 while she was asleep and sexually assaulted her while most of the family was outside, an arrest warrant filed in the case states.
"The (victim) stated that the defendant apologized to the (victim) and asked (her) to keep the assault a secret," according to the arrest warrant.
The victim's father, who was trying get to sleep in another room, got up to see what was going on, police said.
"The (victim's father) asked the defendant what was going on and the defendant told the (father) that he was trying to get the cats out of the (victim's) room," according to the arrest warrant.
The girl told investigators said that on Jan. 26, Gaitan called her into the kitchen and led her to his bedroom, where he again sexually assaulted her, court documents show.
Police obtained a statement from the defendant, who denied the allegations.

NBC (9-11 p.m. ET)
This outstanding TV movie is as inspiring as Norma Rae. In 1977 eight female employees started a 15-month strike over equal pay and promotion against a bank in Willmar, Minn. This docudrama goes beyond headlines about the "Willmar 8" to show women who had to overcome their own images of themselves to succeed. A Matter of Sex is in effect a mother-daughter production. Lee Grant, 53, directed her offspring, Dinah (I Ought to Be in Pictures) Manoff, 27, as a young bank teller who becomes one of the strikers. Jean Stapleton, 60, leads the excellent cast, which includes Staple-ton's daughter, Pamela Putch, 24. Without preaching, the movie depicts the growing friendship among the women and the effects of the strike on their personal lives. Even though the National Labor Relations Board eventually decides that the strike was not caused by unfair labor practices and thus rules against the union, the women gain the admiration of the townspeople and influence the banking industry. Most important, they have achieved self-respect. As Stapleton says, "We didn't lose—we won."

Madge's 12th studio album sells 359,000 copies, giving singer her fifth straight #1.
By Gil Kaufman
Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic
Madonna will retain her claim to the pop throne next week when her 12th studio album, MDNA, debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. This will be the singer's fifth straight #1 album, and its sales of 359,000 were more than enough to outpace the #2 debut from fellow veteran Lionel Richie.
Richie marks a return to the upper reaches of the charts with his hook-up with country artists on Tuskegee, which sold 199,000 copies, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.
With her latest chart-topper, Madonna, 53, joins Barbra Streisand as the only woman to top the Billboard albums chart at least eight times; Streisand holds the record with a total of nine #1 albums.
Two seasoned rock bands also debut in the top 10, with Shinedown hitting #4 with Amaryllis (106,000) and the Used returning to the charts at #8 with Vulnerable (32,000).
The rest of the top 10: Adele, 21 (#3, 121,000), "Hunger Games" soundtrack (#5, 64,000), One Direction, Up All Night (#6, 46,000), the deluxe version of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream (#7, 33,000), Bruce Springsteen, Wrecking Ball (#9, 28,000) and NOW 41 (#10, 25,000).
The week after they debuted at #3, the Shins drop 11 spots to
#14 as business for Port of Morrow dipped by 71 percent to 22,000. Meanwhile, noisemeisters the Mars Volta land at #15 with their latest, Noctourniquet (21,000). All-American Rejects bop in at #18 with Kids in the Street (18,000), and last season's "American Idol" winner, Scotty McCreery, got a big boost after appearing on the show last week, sending his debut, Clear as Day, up 46 spots to #21 as sales picked up by 172 percent to 16,000.
Look for a new #1 next week as Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded crashes the charts.

walls and curtains.Wednesday, July 1, 2009 11:26
Recently the amazing artist Cathy Mclaurin forwarded me information on the artist Samantha Fields. I was so glad she let me know about Samantha as I am blown away and oh so inspired by the installations she creates.
Samantha creates large scale installations that explore the ideas of home, mother, memory, and the domestic. She does this by embroidering amazing and colorful patterns into the actual walls of the spaces that she builds.
She expertly uses layering, scale, and the element of the unexpected to pull on our emotions and send us toward memories that connect us to her experience.
Samantha states-
"Home is a stage supporting mythic roles. It's the setting for an everyday spectacle. And when we cross away from the threshold, we inevitably play a different role than the one inside. The walls, the primary objects of a house, function as literal boundaries, space dividers, where public and private are kept at a constant, dueling and commingling. What is revealed when these walls are removed? It is within this question that I place my work.
Most of my materials are found and have been used: indoor/outdoor furniture, building supplies, and fabric – which are then dislocated. Each has a latent, embedded story that is never absent despite my attempt to re-arrange, re-gather, and re-present. I have focused on specific, universal elements (or coded sites),
such as curtains, to begin investigating power structures by way of exorbitant, feminine, passive-aggressive excess, or perhaps simply the revealing of a hierarchy –of who gets the mashed potatoes first."
I am sometimes so overwhelmed by all the amazing young female artists exploring these universal and yet such specific themes of home and the role of the feminine. Sometimes it make me nervous about my own work and career but mostly it simply inspires me.
Keep inspiring.
Samantha has an excellent website here and if you are near Boston is participating in a show and leading a workshop here.

Anyone with the ability to get a stranger to pose for a camera while touching two or three other strangers in New York City must have both courage and amazing diplomatic skills. Enter photographer Richard Renaldi. Since 2007 Renaldi has been hauling his big, 8 by 10 inch view camera not just around New York, but around other cities and towns across America. This cool involving book presents some of the amazing portraits he's created.
The juxtapositions are captivating: ages, races, classes, sexes, outfits, jewelry, tattoos, and indoor and outdoor settings all present a panoply of portraits of 21st century Americans. In "Jesse and Michael," a bearded middle-aged man in an orange sweatshirt and woolen cap clutches the hands of a very old woman wearing a wig, with her cane draped over her purse. Atlantic Ocean waves break behind them.
"Pedro and Neal" touch in some kind of shop or factory. Pedro sits, his body exuding confidence and authority, a radio attached to his shirt. Neal in a blue cap has claimed a perch on Pedro's desk and Neal places one hand on Pedro's shoulder, another around his wrist.
"Michael and Sarah" look like they could be engaged. Sarah leans into Michael's shoulder on the NYC subway during winter—both wear coats and hats; their opposite hands are clasped on Sarah's left wrist.

Update: Grand Rapids murder victim's mom claims person of interest had been stealing from her son
GRAND RAPIDS – Detectives said this morning that a witness watched a man run from the Grand Rapids apartment where Gregory Heard was shot about 1:30 a.m. and the person reported seeing a car racing away from the Northwest Side neighborhood.
The man, who has been identified by police as a "person of interest," drove a white Dodge or Chrysler vehicle that was parked on 11th Street NW, police said. That car sped west and then turned south on Tamarack Avenue, police said.
Heard, 26, died at a local hospital and authorities continue the investigation.
Neighbors who live around the 1019 Widdicomb Ave. slaying scene said the shooting is uncharacteristic of the quiet street.

GoldenBoy settles out of court
LOS ANGELES (AP)Manny Pacquiao has settled a defamation lawsuit against other boxing world figures who intimated he used performance-enhancing drugs, a lawyer for the boxer said Wednesday.
Terms of Pacquiaos settlement with fellow boxer Oscar de La Hoya and Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions were confidential, attorney Daniel Petrocelli said.
Messages left with Schaefer and de La Hoya attorney Jeffrey Spitz werent returned.
Pacquiao claimed in his suit that he has never tested positive for any performance-enhancing drugs, but that de La Hoya and Schaeferalong with boxing rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Mayweathers father and uncleembarked on a campaign to make people think he used drugs.
Petrocelli said Mayweather and his family members werent involved in the settlement and that the suit would continue against them. Mayweather lawyer Mark Tratos didnt return a call.
News of the settlement came about six weeks after a federal judge in Nevada rejected a defense motion arguing that Pacquiaos case lacked merit and asking for its dismissal.

The era of self-help and consumerism have come together in recent years, and a number of books have been written in an attempt to demystify health and disease. Martin begins this effort with a disclaimer that this book is not meant to replace regular medical care, but rather to supplement it.
The concept is good, and the attempt is a noble one, but it falls short rather quickly. Some books have presented this material in the do-it-yourself style of the late 1960s with lots of simple diagrams. Others have tried the encyclopedic approach. This particular book is, in some ways, a mixture of both approaches but, it does not quite match up to either.
There are a few diagrams in the first two chapters that actually add little, and one that demonstrates removal of a foreign body from the eye is totally irrelevant to the text (p 8).

Dawn of War 2 Review
Simply put, Dawn of War II feels like the result of some mad scientist's experiment, the by product of the splicing of Dawn of War with Company of Heroes, Relic's other, more recent RTS.
How the game feels to play on the battlefield, however, is a different matter altogether and really is what a purchase should be determined by. Despite the changes, Dawn of War II is still insane fun, it's just different fun. There's a relentless pace to proceedings. You're never far from combat, and when you do engage the enemy it's immensely satisfying. Teleport your Force Commander into a pack of Orks with the Command Teleporter Commander Item, trigger the Battle Cry ability, which makes him immune to knockback and turns every melee hit into a special attack, then teleport out again before the enemy even knows what's going on - absolutely savage.
The noise Avitus' heavy bolter makes, especially when his Focus Fire ability is on, is a joy to the eardrums. Using Tarkus' Taunt ability to drag a swarm of Tyranids into Avitus' arc of attack is another satisfying ploy to pull off. And the graphical and sound effects at play when Thaddeus assault jumps into a pack of enemies, knocking them back, suppressing them and destroying the surrounding environment, never get old. Put simply, Dawn of War II is great, addictive fun, and is guaranteed to appeal to anyone who passes by a Games Workshop and stops to gawp at the little models spinning in the window.
And, really, there is a great deal of strategy involved, although only if you play on the harder difficulties. It's not in the management of massive armies, or in the speed of build orders, but in micro-management. You need to send one unit into cover, another into a building, tank with the other and do damage with that one. You need to use special abilities constantly. You need to use hot keys to command your hero units. All these techniques will be alien to RTS players who enjoy sending large groups of units off to trample all over that enemy base, and sitting back and watching the fireworks. With Dawn of War II, you need to get your hands dirty.
Outside of the actual RTS bits of the game, there's a Risk-style meta game that players of the last two Dawn of War expansions, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, will recognise. As the story unfolds and the Tyranid invasion becomes more intense, you're able to travel between planets within Subsector Aurelia, picking and choosing which missions and option missions you wish to engage in. Every deployment takes time, however, and missions won't be available forever, so you need to think about what you're taking on, and that decision is usually based on what Wargear is offered up as a reward. Ultimately, though, you don't feel as if your decisions have any bearing on the narrative or the system as a whole. You don't care, at the end of the day, if you're reducing the Tyranid infestation or not. You just want that new heavy bolter.
The squad loadout screen is where you'll spend most of your off-world time. It's here that you equip your hero units with Wargear collected from looting enemies and completing missions, and advance their skills by putting points into the four advancement tracks: stamina, ranged damage, strength and will. You get two points to spend every time you level up a hero, and the level cap is set to 20. You get that "one more hour" feel with Dawn of War II, something MMORPG players will be all too familiar with. It's 3am and you're dog tired but if you play just one more mission then your Force Commander will level up and you'll be able to equip that Power Axe you looted from that Ork boss you killed half an hour ago. This feeling is exacerbated by the fact that missions are short. It's not a revolutionary mechanic, but it keeps you playing all the same.
In most RTS games, the single-player campaign acts as a glorified tutorial for the multiplayer. With Dawn of War II this isn't so much the case, one, because you only get to play as the Space Marines in the campaign, and two, because multiplayer works completely differently. Here you can pick from the Space Marines (great all rounders), Orks (work best in large numbers), Eldar (mysterious tech heavy sci-fi elves) and the Tyranids (rabid aliens inspired by the aliens from Alien). Before each match, which can be played 1 versus 1 or 3 versus 3, you need to decide which hero unit will lead your army. There are three available to each race, each with different specialities. On the Space Marine side, for example, you can pick between the Force Commander, who's great on offence, the healing Apothecary or the defence minded Techmarine. Also contributing to making the races feel different to play are race specific global abilities, unlocked by gathering a resource specific to each race (earned by fighting, killing, dying, capturing points etc). These can help turn the tide of battle significantly - the Space Marines' devastating Orbital Strike, for example.
Again, there's no base building whatsoever, but there is resource management, unit building and a three-tiered tech tree. You begin with an HQ, from which you can build your units, including tanks and other powerful vehicles, like Dreadnoughts. You need requisition and power to purchase units and upgrades for your army. You get this from capturing requisition points and power nodes on the map. Simple.
To win in the Victory Control Point mode you need to run down your opponent's victory points to zero. To do this you need to capture and hold more Victory Points than your opponent. The in your face, quick to the action philosophy that Relic has employed for the campaign remains, in fact it's turned up a notch - you're almost always fighting with another player immediately after the beginning of a match. And without base building, turtling (hanging back, building a massive base and army) isn't an option. Skirmishes, then, can feel like they're over in the blink of an eye. And while you never get armies as big as those in the first game, skirmishes are fun in a chaotic, no holds barred way.
Dawn of War II, then, is a curious beast. On one hand it's addictive, polished, satisfying and action-packed. On the other hand the campaign lacks variety and the meta-game has no real bearing on anything. But through it all a tinge of disappointment can't help but be felt - one that nags as you play the game. You miss being able to build a big base, in a real "boys and their toys" way. And you miss having a huge number of units to choose from. Yes, Relic should be commended for trying to do something different with the RTS genre, one that is fiendishly difficult to innovate in, but the end result is a game that won't be for everyone - indeed, it won't be for every RTS fan. Ultimately, though, it's great fun, whether you're playing the campaign on your own, with a mate, or in a skirmish. There's something eternally compelling about the Warhammer 40k RTS experience, about Dreadnoughts, sci-fi elves, cockney orks and rabid aliens. And that's enough to carry you through to the bitter end.

The Pause before the Crash
|The cometary crater left behind as simulated in digital rendering prior to the July 4th encounter.
Credit: NASA, Maas Production
The Deep Impact spacecraft is getting ready for its date with comet Tempel 1. Mission scientists and engineers are on the edge of their seats, waiting for the action to begin.
"If I could bottle all of the adrenaline that I've seen flowing in the last day, I probably wouldn't have to sleep for a year," says Rick Grammier, Deep Impact project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
A specially designed impactor spacecraft is scheduled to hit the comet at 1:52 a.m. Eastern time on July 4 (10:52 p.m. PDT on July 3).
Exactly 24 hours beforehand, the smaller impactor spacecraft will detach from the mothership. During its final two hours, the impactor will have three chances to self-adjust its position to make sure it is in the path of the comet. Scientists are hoping the resulting impact will blast a crater in the surface of Tempel 1, allowing them to see the interior of a comet for the first time.
The mothership spacecraft will take pictures before, during and after impact, scooting underneath the comet and then turning back around to watch the fireworks. The impacting spacecraft has a camera as well, and will take pictures right up to the moment of collision.
Tempel 1 is orbiting the sun at 37,100 kilometers (23,000 miles) per hour – 10 times faster than a bullet – so the spacecraft will perform their maneuvers on their own. The encounter will be so quick, human reflexes would not be able to direct everything in time.
|Ground based image of comet 9P/Tempel 1 set for July 4th encounter and impactor.

"These two spacecraft have been designed to accomplish something that the best fighter pilots in our country would not be able to do," says Monte Henderson, Deep Impact project manager at Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colorado. "We had to design a navigation and control system that would allow the flyby and the impactor spacecraft to perform this very intricate ballet."
However, if the impactor spacecraft fails to detach from the mothership as planned on Sunday, the mission scientists will direct the mothership to fly into the comet.
Tempel 1 will be about 133 million kilometers (83 million miles) from Earth on July 4. Space telescopes observing the impact include the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Swift and Submillimeter Wave Astronomy satellites, and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory and Rosetta spacecraft. About 60 professional ground-based telescopes will be watching as well.
The comet will not be visible to the naked eye, but a person viewing with a medium resolution telescope should be able to witness the quick brightening that is expected to occur at the moment of impact. The comet will have already set in the sky for everyone except those in the Southwest and West Coast of the US, and across the Pacific to New Zealand. Still, if the effects of the impact persist for 24 hours, they may be viewable in other parts of the world the next evening.

While the scientists are not sure how big a crater will result from the collision, they estimate it will be the size of a small house to the size of a football stadium, and several stories deep. Like all comets, the nucleus of Tempel 1 is made of rock and ice, but it is not known how firmly that material is bound together. The nucleus could be weak and fluffy, or hard as concrete.
The Deep Impact spacecraft recently saw Tempel 1 experience two outbursts, where the coma of gas and dust surrounding the nucleus briefly brightened. During the outbursts, the amount of water in the coma doubled. The exact cause of the outbursts is unknown, although it may be the result of heating as the comet approaches the sun.
Most of the comets in the solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago, at the same time the planets were forming. Tempel 1 formed in the Kuiper Belt, a gas and dust-filled region in the solar system located beyond Neptune's orbit.
Tempel 1 now orbits the sun every 5.5 years, tracing a path between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The impact is expected to slightly alter the course of the comet's orbit, but mission scientists say this won't push it on a path toward Earth.
Comets have hit the Earth many times in the past, delivering water and organic compounds to our planet. While such materials are thought to be necessary for life, comets can also be a threat to life — a large cometary impact could cause an extinction event like the one that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Michael A'Hearn, Deep Impact principal investigator, says that learning about the architecture of a comet could help us avoid a similar catastrophe.
"If you are worried about defending the Earth from possible impactors, it's sure a lot easier to change the course of something if you know what it is you are changing the course of," says A'Hearn. "You cannot design a sensible defense system without knowing what the impactors are."

"Hi. Hello. I'm Kelby," it said in a robotic monotone as Kelby tapped a glowing button on the computer's touch-screen.

The link to Cheshire Fishing Supplies is http://www.cheshirefishing.co.uk/sho...page.htm#middy
You want the 4 metre Middy pole priced at £12.99. It comes as a complete 4 metre 4 sectioned rod & the second section from the hand end is the one to use.
This is the cheapest I have found although someone mentioned that the above company sold spare sections for £4.00, but have not checked that out.
Carbon Sheet can be obtained from Free Flight Supplies, for the reinforced areas, the one to use .014"(.35mm)X3"X36", at £12 per sheet.
I still have the boom and v-tail of the Bingo in one piece, I was wondering if I could use that, cant remember the dimensions off my head at the moment as I am a few hundred miles away from home.
Yes, your probably right about the boom diameter, as I have a feeling it is very substantial.
Further to the debate on motors for the Watts Up at a reasonble price, came across these Hyperion Z-3025/10 or12, that look as though they would fit the bill OK. They are out runners but have a nice taper on the front looks ideal with the wires back from the front. The diameter is 36, but a fair way back from the front mounting. Priced at £58 from Robotbirds in UK.
I used an Hyperion some time back on another type of model & was impressed with the quality & performance
Don't have their motors, but their servos are very impressive. One never seems to hear anything negative about Hyperion.
Well my plan, wood parts and mag turned up this week (Thursday).
I have spent the last 2 hours studying the plan trying to make head and tail of it. I think I am getting there, one thing I have noticed with these plans is they require a certain re-alignment of the mind to interpret, i.e. chuck all current engineering drawing knowledge out the window LOL. That said, I am enjoying the challenge.
I was planning on heading over to Balsa Hut to buy some wood this morning, but given how long it is taking me to work out what is what they will be closed before I get there, its a 30min drive from here, so looks like I will have to wait till next weekend now (or mid-week if I take a day off... unlikley though).
I am in the middle of working up a BOQ of the wood required for the build so will post it later when complete, I would appreciate some assurance I have interpreted the plan requirements correctly ... it is certainly a different challenge to my last build which was all full kit of wood.
One thing I have noticed is that there might not be the thinner section of "stern post" to laminate in the laser cut pack. Or at least I couldnt find it.
Off to make another cupper and get measureing up.
So first stab at a BOQ to add to the wood pack. Need to rationalise it , double up the outer wing and work out the actual material to buy.

Trailing edges, spoiler blade are cut from 3/16 sheet good quarter grain stock, to the width required.Planed & sanded to section required.
The grain of the 1/16 infill on the TE between the ribs runs parallel, not vertical & can be cut from off cuts of 1/16 sht for the wing sheeting.
This is not a complete list of how to do it , just a guide, but it is the most cost efective way. As I have a large collection of wood, it is not a thing I have had to do so I can only give rough guide, but buying ready shaped wood for the item needed, will be expensive
See the Alacrity build for some details of a cheap balsa stripper:-
Yes - I still need to "value engineer" the list in to actual sheets of wood to buy. I was toying with a balsa stripper - I had seen your's and the commercialy available one (£10 I think) and was pondering... seeing as I am not going to make it to Balsa Hut till next weekend, I have been struggling cutting using a long straight edge, but this can be a bit hit and miss in terms of the chance to spoil the cut for various reasons...
I have a bit of time to chew over the options... that said, I will probably end up leaving it till Sat morning again and then run out of time (again!)... LOL
Right, wood list finished, off to Balsa Cabin tomorrow to procure About 20 quid of wood I think.
Whats "good quarter grain stock" I found a site which explains A, B and C grain is it the same as C grain?
2 sht HARD 3/32 x 3 x 36
3 off 3/32 x 1/8 x 2m strip
1 off 1/4 x 1/4 x 48
spruce strip 1/8x3/8x48x3
spruce strip 1/8x1/4x48x3
1 off SHT MED 3/8 4" X 48"
5 off SHT 1/16 x 4" X 48"
2 sht HARD 3/16 x 4" X 36" C GRAIN
Only bits I could work out from the imperial measurements were the material for the outer wing tips and the elevator pylon, but I am hoping I can ask the chap in the shop for a bit of help on that.
You will find that Balsa Cabin call it C grain, but as a good guide, see page 3 on this thread where there are photo's of cutting wing ribs to paper template. Note the very distinctive speckled appearance of the sheet, it is also very stiff if you try to bend it along the grain. Do not use a lot of force when doing this as it may split.
That is why you only use it for rigid items, no good for wing sheeting
Thanks Brian, I now have wood The C Grain is for the TE sheeting bits iirc.

So what your really saying is that the automatic XML serializers in .Net are the issue not WCF.
For instance I could build up the XML manually and return a XMLElement. This is what I had to do for my service. Using these attributes:
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare
Obviously it's more work than getting automatically serialized objects but it's still doable.

By Katherine Rosario, Lyster Army Health Clinic Public AffairsMay 16, 2013
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (May 16, 2013) -- Lyster Army Health Clinic's recently modified patient appointment system has led to an overall improvement in patient satisfaction scores.
For more than seven months, the clinic has claimed the top spot in overall customer service across the southern region's 11 military treatment facilities, according to core business operation metrics gathered by the Enterprise Reporting Service. LAHC is also beating wait time and satisfaction metrics of local hospitals and doctors' offices.
Beginning in June, Lyster will introduce open access to the Flight Medicine team, a concept that provides appointments the same day a patient calls in. The new workflow will continue to roll out to all clinics in the following months.
"Open access is not only going to greatly improve the care we provide to patients, but also make our patients happier," said Col. Lynnette Bardolf, deputy commander for Clinical Services at LAHC. "If you call us in the morning and want to be seen the same day, we will make sure you have an appointment that is convenient for you."
Open access will streamline patient appointments so much, doctors will start accepting new patients who now wish to be seen at LAHC.
Wait times in the clinic have also decreased with the new system. The average wait time after checking in at the primary care clinic is about eight minutes.
"We aren't going to check you in for an appointment and then make you wait 30 minutes to an hour to be seen," Bardolf said. "Your time is important to us, and we want to get you into and out of the doctor's office as soon as possible."
For patients with complex care needs, LAHC provides a case manager to help make appointments and make sure lab results are recorded in their medical record.
"If we need to refer you out to the network for multiple specialty services, our case managers will help coordinate the appointments and collect the data for your doctor at Lyster," Bardolf said.
Lyster also provides 24/7 access to doctors and nursing staff through secure online messaging. Patients can request referrals, appointments, lab results and medication refills, and can expect a reply within one to two business days.
To make an appointment or to find out how to become a patient at Lyster, call 255-7000.

Tuck: Why Jadeveon Clowny Should Play
It was suggested?by Tom Sorensen that South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney would be best served sitting out all of his junior season instead of risking an injury that could derail his high NFL Draft stock.
Certainly covering the Gamecocks, you'd understand why this would be a popular subject with what has happened to star RB Marcus Lattimore. ?It certainly makes for an interesting debate, about what is important, and even if the NFL's 3-years-out-of-high-school-rule is fair.
First of all, I think Clowney should play. ?He is a great player, and he isn't the first great player that appeared ready for the NFL after just a couple of years of college. ?It isn't necessarily a long list, but it would be an impressive list.? That is just a freshman list. ?But even looking at that, you can see that being great early doesn't necessarily mean being a great NFL player.
Secondly, injury is a risk you take?every?play,?every?game, and?every?season. ?It's just part of being a football player.
Thirdly, the other part of being a football player is playing! ?You play because you like it. ?You want to do well, and you want to win. ?College football may be viewed by some as simply a path to fortunes and fame, but is still just a game, and not everyone is thinking only about turning pro and making money.
Finally, even if there is some risk, medicine and surgery are so phenomenal?today that recovery is pretty "easy." ?And NFL teams know this. ?Consider that Miami RB Willis McGahee blew out his knee in the national championship game and still was drafted in the first round four months later by Buffalo. Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford missed nearly the entire 2009 season and still went No. 1 overall to the Rams in April that year. ?Cal RB Jahvid Best missed much of the same season with a concussion, and was still selected in the first round by the Lions. ?Those same head problems may have ended his career now, but teams will take risks on injured guys if they are talented enough is the message.
They also provide insurance for these kind of things and those kind of players. ?Even then, the risk of catastrophic, career-ending injury is so remote, that I read where ?USC QB Matt Barkley's family actually opted against taking out expensive disability insurance this season because it's basically throwing away money. ?Barkley was projected as a first rounder by many in 2012, but chose to come back.
So, yes, Jadeveon Clowney should play next year. ?Steve Spurrier, duh, agrees.? He is a football player, and while he is a special young talent, we aren't rewriting the rules for him. ?Remember Ohio State RB Maurice Clarrett and USC WR Mike Williams already tried that. ?And for what it's worth, neither lasted long in the NFL.

Temple University's student journalists dominated the 2014 Student Keystone Press Awards.
Submissions from The Temple News and PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods.com earned a total of 22 awards, marking the most ever in the history of the awards, which are presented annually by the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association.
Among the highlights are a first-place win for best website by PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods.com and two first-place awards in general news and ongoing news coverage for senior journalism major and Editor in Chief Joey Cranney and the staff of The Temple News for coverage of the elimination of seven intercollegiate sports at Temple. Additionally, Max Pulcini, JOUR '13, won three top prizes (for feature story, public service/enterprise package and sports story) for Rise of the Tigers, a piece he and Matthew Albasi, JOUR '13, created for PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods.com on the Kensington football team.
While Andrew Mendelson, chair of the Journalism Department at Temple's School of Media and Communication, wasn't there assigning stories or helping with copy editing, he feels this program's curriculum provides his students the tools to dive deep into the stories of Temple's campus and its city.
"I am so proud of our students. The number of Keystone Student Press Awards for The Temple News and PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods.com shows that our approach to journalism is rich and diverse," says Andrew Mendelson, chair of the Journalism Department at Temple's School of Media and Communication. "Every day, we try to inspire our students to tell stories that reflect Philadelphia's complexity through excellent writing, photography, multimedia, illustration and design."
'Noteworthy' year for news
The Temple News newsroom was buzzing with pride after the announcement of this year's winners. Its 17 awards eclipse the newspaper's previous record of nine Keystones in 2007.
"The Temple News staff obviously had a lot of newsworthy stuff to cover, including the elimination of seven sports and a standoff at an off-campus residence," says Student Media Program Director John DiCarlo, JOUR '98, BTMM '06. "What I'm most proud of is the staff's continued commitment to outstanding and thorough reporting. They take a great deal of pride in what they do and it shows."
Don't expect The Temple News staff to become complacent as a result their success.
"With recognition comes more responsibility, and I think we now have even more of an obligation to keep delivering top-notch content every week," says Managing Editor Jenelle Janci, a junior journalism major. "I think our staff can continue the rest of the year with an added confidence without losing an ounce of work ethic. I hope that we keep outdoing ourselves week after week."
Strong leadership
Janci says a lot of the credit for this year's showing at the Keystones should go to Cranney and his leadership of the newsroom.
"I've never seen anyone more dedicated about the paper in my time working there. Joey was in the office almost every day over the summer, working with our design editor on a layout overhaul, and implemented more structured beat reporting," Janci says. "Under Joey's leadership, we also added a new weekly meeting to discuss what content goes on the front page, allowing content other than general news to be on the front page for the first time since my time here. There's been an added scrutiny on content with Joey at the head, but that's only made our content better – and I think our performance at the Keystones proves that."
Cranney said it was as simple as committing to what he calls "true journalism."
"The first thing I did as editor was to bring back our mission statement and put it in its old spot underneath our flag on the front page," he says. "Now, next to The Temple News at the top, it reads, 'A watchdog for the Temple University community since 1921.' I made it clear to our staff that being a watchdog to the community was our primary mission and they've responded."
Janci says the devotion to excellence runs throughout the staff, calling her section editors, "the best of the best. I'm consistently impressed with the content that everyone is generating. You can tell your staff members a million times that they've done a great job, but it's always nice to have that outside recognition."
Five more for journalism capstone course
Down at Temple University Center City and the PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods.com newsroom, another five Keystones were collected by the online news site, which is the capstone course for all journalism majors.
Professor Chris Harper, who co-directed the program with Associate Professor Linn Washington until this year (when Assistant Professor George Miller took the helm) says the website stands out from other collegiate news sites because it covers communities outside of campus.
"That's what sets it apart," Harper says. "It doesn't just focus on college students and works as a bridge between the university and the neighborhoods."
The site was redesigned this past year by Neil Ortiz, the department's technical support specialist, and Todd Broadbent, SMC's senior web developer.
Harper wasn't surprised to see Rise of the Tigers receive accolades in three different categories.
"Rise of the Tigers takes place in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city. It is so uplifting to see what can be done when residents come together. People in places like Kensington want what everyone wants–a safe neighborhood and a better future for their kids. That is what makes the story of the football team resonate on so many levels," Harper says.
To Washington, the awards reveal the importance of the hands-on learning that takes place in the Journalism Department.
"The real-world experience that students receive in PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods.com provides tangible skills and intangible insights that aid them in life whether they pursue journalism or another career," he says.

The Best Parenting Advice: 3 Easy TipsMonica Bielanko
The Internet is exploding with parenting advice.
Do this! Don't do that! You must do this! Don't ever do that!
It's overwhelming, to say the very least.
Parenthood is a constant negotiation between freaking the eff out and trying to give your children your very best self. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle, ping-ponging between the two.
Like you, I've been inundated with parenting advice from the very minute I announced my pregnancy. I've employed a lot of those tips along my 4-year parenting journey, some with more success than others.
But, there are three bits of advice I picked up that have served me very well. So well, in fact, that I really feel like they've made me a better parent. And they are so easy! Yup. In the end it wasn't some complex system of rewards (bribes!) and flow charts and gold stars that really made a difference, but three very simple things you can do every day that make a huge difference in the way your children behave and, more importantly, how they feel about themselves.
1. "Do you need a hug?" Instead of lecturing or yelling when your kid is freaking out, tantrumming, and snotting all over the place, tell them you're sorry they feel bad and ask them if they need a hug. Nine times out of ten my daughter sobs "YES!" and falls into my arms for some mama love, effectively ending the tantrum.
2. "Do you want to talk about it?" When either of my kids are upset and sobbing incoherent sentences, I tell them to take a deep breath and ask them if they want to talk about it. Sometimes they do and we work it all out, and sometimes they don't want to talk about it or don't know how to talk about it, but I think giving them the option to express themselves is important. I usually find that someone offering to talk about it with them calms them down.
3. "I am SO happy to see you!" I read somewhere, and I wish I remember where because I'd link you, that the way you react when your kid enters the room is so important for their well-being and sense of self. I've made it a rule for myself that, even if I'm tired, I light up and sweep my kids into a hug first thing in the morning, when I pick them up from school/daycare or just haven't seen them in a while because they were in their rooms playing. You should see how thrilled my daughter is to see me every day. It makes my heart burst. She's thrilled to see me because she knows I'm thrilled to see her.
Sounds simplistic, but I swear to you that these three things have significantly improved my parenting and the way my children behave. Hope they help you the next time your kid is jangling your last nerve… Instead of blowing up, ask if they need a hug. It'll do you both good.
Here's to hoping that, no matter what age, they'll always need a hug, always want to talk about it, and always be thrilled to see us.
It's all in our hands, you know?

Hello everyone! This is my first post after going paleo 4 days ago. I'm going to try to post on here every day, but might have to play catch ups so please bear with me
Also, being from Australia I might have funny names for things and use that wacky ol' metric system so I'll try my best to translate for people reading in the US.
So here's my food and exercise for the last couple of days, and a few observations about how I have been feeling.
Day 1 - Felt pretty hungry during the day. Light headed and woozey.
B: Chicken breast with tumeric, vege saute with capsicum, leek, spinach, mushrooms
L: Swordfish, endive and rocket salad, carrot, celery, tomato, olives, artichoke hearts
S: Boiled egg with worcestershire sauce (obviously craving salt...)
D: Grass-fed rump steak, mango, avocado, onion, lime and corriander (cilantro) salsa, sugar snap peas
Des: Melted 80% dark chocolate with strawberries
Exercise: Rode 10km (6 miles) and had intended to go for a walk in my lunch break but didn't have the energy. One day at a time

It's the lawJuly 05,2014
Its the law
John Andersons satire on the Boy Scouts was hilarious. Thanks for a good morning laugh.
As to the issue at hand and to address those who didnt get your humor, it is not political correctness to avoid discriminating against a protected class of people, of which non-heterosexual people are: Its the law. Judging by the vitriolic and vindictive responses to a mere question about the Boy Scouts national anti-gay policy, this class obviously do need protection.
There are similar laws protecting free speech and ones protecting freedom of religion. So would it be considered correctness if there were objections to a Christian denied the role of Scout leader? How about a person of color? A woman, maybe?

Michael's job in the home theater department at the Columbus Boulevard Best Buy required regular trips to the customer service desk, to pick up returns.
That's where Christa worked.
Soon, Christa, then a University of the Sciences pharmaceutical marketing major, and Michael, who studied criminal justice at Temple, looked forward to Michael's trips to the front of the store.
They became friends during group outings to movies or dinner after work. Sometimes, they'd eat lunch together.
A few months after they met, in August 2005, Michael handed her a note on a blank receipt: "Could I have your phone number?"

Fifty Is Not a Four-letter Wordby Linda Kelsey
As Hope Lyndhurst-Steele approaches her 50th birthday, although she "has it all"--top magazine job, wonderful husband, loving son, many friends--fifty still feels like a four-letter word. But she doesn't know just how low she can go. When she returns to the office after her holiday break, she's informed by senior management that the "having it all" woman is OUT--and Hope's out along with her. As she starts spending her days at home, her relationship with her usually patient husband Jack starts to become strained, and her teenage son is more interested in chasing after the local trashy single mom than spending his last year at home with his own mother. And Hope's own mother, who she never got along with, has cheerily announced that she's got six months left to live. Hope is relieved when a solo trip to Paris wakes up her long-dormant libido, but when she returns, she finds that her husband is giving her more space than she'd like--he's moved out. As Hope wonders if she'll be able to make it to fifty-one with her sanity and her family intact, she discovers some interesting truths about herself and her age--and even if 50 is not the new 30, it could be that the best is yet to come.
