In addition to the full calendar of events, the 2013 Lambertville‐New Hope Winter Festival will benefit local and neighboring families through a food drive and donations to Fisherman's Mark, a social service organization located in Lambertville.
The Festival begins on Saturday, Jan. 19, and continues through Sunday, Jan. 27. Fisherman's Mark provides a full range of services, including a food pantry that emphasizes good nutrition for families in six local counties.
The number of families served at area food pantries is up 30%, but donations are down by 15%. Two local businesses are hosting food donation containers now through Winter Festival: the Bank of Princeton on Bridge Street in Lambertville and Triumph Brewery in New Hope.
Winter Festival visitors can also support Fisherman's Mark by bringing non-perishable food to the main events including the Taste of Winter Fest on Thursday, Jan. 24, and the "Pure Prairie League" concert on Friday, Jan. 25. On Saturday, Jan. 26, you can find food drive containers at St. John's School in Lambertville, at the afternoon Beef 'N Brew event at Triumph, and the Dora Kerr Tribute at Occasions on Saturday evening. On Sunday morning there will be a collection at the activities at New Hope-Solebury High School and at the Chili Cook Off at Occasions in the afternoon.
For more information about the Festival and these events, please visit winterfestival.net.
Another option for supporting Fisherman's Mark is with a cash donation via the Winter Festival website at winterfestival.net/fishermansmark.html.
"We truly appreciate the Winter Festival organizers for their continuing support of Fisherman's Mark. This time of year demand at the food pantry can climb to 1,000 individuals a month. The reality is that the pantry often runs very short on food," commented Gina Davio, program director for socials services at Fisherman's Mark. "With demand at an all-time high, this community support will ensure no one is turned away hungry."

Middlesex County residents dug out from a storm that dropped several inches of snow on Central New Jersey.
While adults went to work in Metuchen, digging out their cars and shoveling walkways, kids played, sledding at Donaldson Park in Highland Park. And it turns out that even train tracks need a good shoveling, as workers in bright green and orange vests cleared the tracks near the Metuchen train station.

Malawi Cichlid Tank
Active within 2172 Days
Name: 100 gal malawi tank
Size/Category 100-Gallon Freshwater
Type: Glass
Shape: Custom
List of Fish:
1 - my electric yellows are now breeding as well! I'm not sure how many babies i have; at least 4!1 - I now have 1 adult Auratus female(the mama) 1 young male just getting his blue on and 4 young females plus possible new babies!
Lighting: 2x 24" Florescents
Filtration: 3x 65 gallon wishper external filters
Invertebrates: 20 large "golden ghost snails"
Other Accessories: Lots of rock work, fake plants and artificial hollow logs and a few pieces of two toned driftwood also have 1 part coral gravel 3 parts natural and black gravel--All of my cichlids are babies i finally decided to stop fighting my hard water so i traded my Congos and Columbian tetras plus about 10 Cories in to try out africans. My favorite aquarium store really let me down though, its a very reliable(and exspensive) specialty store, anyway they told me Auratus and electric yellows where compatiable!! Now i have to work on making a divider for my 100 before the Auratus take their toll! I've never kept malawis, i thought they were all tough. I'm really disappointed in myself that i didn't research my fish. I knew i wanted the yellows and I was just looking for something to go with them but now i've really fallen for the Auratus. The three "unknowns" are closely related to the Auratus but i'm pretty sure i've got two males and a female. I'm in love with them too!! They're really pretty, red with orange outlining their fins, lots of egg spots and kind of a purplish tint to their sides. The two that I think are males have horizontal stripes also.I've recently added a big piece of Java fern from my 20 gallon planted tank. I just found out its a plant my cichlids won't eat.

It was a bittersweet return to Georgia for Lauren Alaina, who finally saw up-close the tornado damage that leveled houses near her town of Rossville.
"She's trying to get her composure," mom Kristy Suddeth said Saturday after a sobbing Lauren visited a shelter at the Cherokee Valley Baptist Church in nearby Ringold as part of her American Idol homecoming. "These people don't need to see somebody crying. They need to see somebody smiling."
Lauren met 11-year-old Tyler Long, who was thrown 200 yards from his family's mobile home and managed to find and comfort family members, including his 8-year-old brother Connor and 10-month-old Ryder.
Long lost his grandfather, Jack Estep, Jr. His mother Veronica Long, who was 11 weeks pregnant, lost her baby and remains in the hospital. Infant brother Ryder is in the ICU with a bleeding brain, two broken arms and a broken leg.
"I felt scared and I prayed, but I just wanted to find my family first," Long told Alaina.
"How can you be so brave?" Alaina asked. "You've got me crying, Tyler. I'm so proud to be from Georgia just like you."
After the tragedy killed 42 people, Alaina sang Martina McBride's "Anyway" on the May 11 episode of "American Idol."
Alaina was among the three Idol finalists making homecoming tours this weekend. Haley Reinhart returned to Wheeling, Ill., and Scotty McCreery went back to Garner, N.C.

Courteney Cox Arquette is bringing one of her famous Friends to Cougar Town: Lisa Kudrow will make a guest appearance on the new ABC show, TV Guide reports.
"If it all works out, she'll play a dermatologist that my character can't stop going to even though the doctor is mean to me," Cox Arquette, 45, tells TV Guide. "She's the best in town at what she does and I become addicted."
So will any of her other former onscreen pals make an appearance on Cougar Town?
"I did ask Matthew [Perry] if he'd play my boyfriend on the show," she said. "He thought it was a little too much after Chandler and Monica." (On Friends, Perry and Arquette's characters got married.)
As for her real life BFF Jennifer Aniston, Cox Arquette says, "I'd love for her to be on the show, too. Obviously we can't cast her so close to Lisa's appearance but if there's a great part for her, I'd send it right away."
The two famously locked lips on Cox Arquette's previous show Dirt.

stormy monday er friday
I found this old picture from 2008 that I never posted for some reason. Probably because I got hit by lightning shortly after taking it. (Actually, I think it was because i took this one right after and lost interest in everything before it.)
I also stumbled across an older lightning shot and spent some time re-processing it to not look so dumb:
Stay safe in the storms this morning, folks.
One Response to 'stormy monday er friday'
that top one is awesome. the cold processing with the sky.
but that's such a good reason to go back through things every now and then. i do the same thing. i get so distracted by "my favorite shot" and forget about the 3 other good ones i took.

"There must be some kind of way outta here"
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None were level on the mind
Nobody up at his word
"No reason to get excited"
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So, let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower

Our high pressure that provided a stellar week will eventually push east today aiding in the development of a southerly flow off the Atlantic, which will bring in low clouds and spotty drizzle or light scattered showers moving up from the south coast.
A cold front will approach late tonight with a round of rain. This front will likely keep moving along on Sunday. This will restore a blend of sun and clouds with a drying northwesterly wind by late Sunday afternoon.
As it looks now, we'll repeat this week's weather next week!
Today: Morning fog, spotty drizzle possible. Clouds and sun, scattered light shower. Highs near 75.
Saturday night: Steady rain after midnight. Low 65.
Sunday:Morning showers to sun and clouds. Near 72.
Radar | 5 Day Forecast
Sunday:Morning showers to sun and clouds. Near 72.

I have a policy that everything made prior to about 1995 is drastically better than stuff made now. I have no data to support this, but all of my friends with newer vehicles spend a lot more repairs than I do

Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
We live in a resource rich environment with a caveman's sense of deprivation, so we continue to hoard well beyond the point needed to sustain our lives. Our human thought process is falling far behind our technological evolution, even though the latter is not fairing well either due to this. Why innovate, when you can create a bigger touch screen and rehash the same product that gullible sheep will continue to buy? Human beings shape their identity on brand names, and propaganda is bled through to them that makes them feel as if they're not as cool, hip, sexy, trendy, and various other buzzwords enough unless they have x pointless outsourced product.
Also, the need for these belongings is taking away reason because the one who is thrifty does not feed into the capitalist market, so, people spend money they don't even have and amass debt that they must become slaves to repay. Even education is like this.
-Marcus AureliusWhen we have meat before us and other food, we must say to ourselves: "This is the dead body of a fish, and this is the dead body of a bird or of a pig, and again, this Falernian [wine] is only a little grape juice, and this purple robe some sheep's wool died with the blood of a shellfish" … so that we see what kinds of things they are. This is how we should act throughout life: where there are things that seem worthy of great estimation, we ought to lay them bare and look at their worthlessness and strip them of all the words by which they are exalted. For the outward show [of things] is a wonderful perverter of reason, and when we are certain the things we are dealing with are worth the trouble, that is when it cheats us most

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136417 ,I'll definitely mind the DIOS MIOS compatibility list when choosing, Thanks.
god this is soo frusterating!!!
im coming from the devoution thread because i can only make basic loader work and none of the other loaders which i dont like. and so now im on here following this DIY and none of the loaders are still working ahhhhh. i have been at this for the last few weeks and ive done re re resoft modded my wii to make sure im doing everything step by step.
after i install the 'wad' im supposed to use which ever usbloader correct? well im trying each one and nothing works. usbloader doesnt detect my usb stick when i have all the paths set correctly. cgf loader doesnt even recognize my usb. wiiflow doesnt do anything. and i dont even know where this 'booter' loader is... i really want to just go on craigslist and pay someone to do this because it is taking up too much of my time hogging the tv when we only have one in the house. if i donate to the site can i just ask specific questions that deal with already acquired roms?!?!
GX r1217, CFG v70r65 and WiiFlow 4.2.1 and always try from HBC 1st.The full GX channel has issues with DIOS MIOS try the forwarder channel USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad or from HBC. Does your Wii games work with your USB stick? What is your GameCube path? Is the game.iso in a sub-folder of the games folder like USB1:/games/GMPP01/game.iso or USB1:/games/GZEE70/game.iso ? For GX did you change the Loader Settings/ GameCube Mode to MIOS (Default & Customs) and for USB Loader GX, go into settings>custom paths, and change the path from SD to USB1:/games/; and for Wiiflow Settings Default GC game Loader to Auto MIOS.
If you have the GameCube path and GameCube settings correct and none of the USB Loader detect your USB stick and you get black screen and no DIOS MIOS splash screen chances are high that your USB stick is not supported.
Usb HDD Compatibility List For DIOS MIOS
My games on my usb drive arent showing up in Mios Dios as they were last week. The same gc game in in the machine as it was last week. I have 7 games on my hdd, they are still there because I have checked the hdd, I definitely formatted the hdd as fat32 with a cluster of 32kb. Help
The wouldn't appear in Dios Mios, as it isn't an app that you run. The USB loaders have to be configured to know where to look for the GameCube games, and once you select it, then Dios Mios launches to run the game.
So the problem is something with the USB loader if you are confident that they are correctly stored on the hard drive.
Have you tried other loaders? Have you messed with the default PATH configurations in the loader?
I will take a look tomorrow llaffer, its late here and Ive just done a week of night shifts. Im using wiiflow. Not tried other loaders as of yet. Will report back, thanks llaffrer, your help and advice is invaluable and is very much appreciated
games/Legend Of Zelda 4 swords/game iso
games/resident Evil 0/game iso
................and so on
Is this right???
Have you run the game isos through DMToolbox? If so, it would have created a directory structure consisting of the game ID as a directory name, a game.iso file, and other files that may not be needed, but small enough they don't hurt. Copy those directories, files and all, into your usb:/games (removing or renmaing your old games directory to get them out of the way) to see if that helps.

With natural gas prices remaining stubbornly low due to continued high supply and a warmer than expected winter, Total (NYSE: TOT ) announced that it would be putting the brakes on its North American natural gas production. The natural gas deals the company made were planned for $6 gas, and the economics don't make sense at its current prices. Because of Total's joint ventures in natural gas with Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK ) , Chesapeake took a hit yesterday. In this video, Motley Fool energy analyst Joel South tells us what trends he expects from natural gas prices in 2013, and where that leaves Chesapeake.

Hi Brian,
I loved this story, and yes words can hurt sometimes more than anything else. Bruises will heal, cuts will heal, but words can stay with someone forever. We just have to learn that we can remove those words from our mind forever. That is our only defense. Someone needs to replace the bad, hurtful words with ones of love and kindness. Then teach the person that these are the words to hold dear to our hearts.
God bless.
PS...I hope you and everyone here will read the comment I received today from an Iranian girl about "The Freedom Seed". Her name is Shiva. It will break your heart to read it and at the same time make one happy to hear that it reached someone from that country and I do hope it makes a difference, at least for one Iranian. Thank you so much for trying to help reachout to them and others.

Nice post Brian and so true. Mom used to work at a place called "Devereaux", here in MASS. What some of those kids were going through, I can only imagine. The part about "crawling back into themselves..."; that would sum it up for most of the ones she had to deal with( she was one of the watchers and not a therapist but still had to know a great bit to be able to work with them ).

Beautiful words once again and so true.Words are a powerful sword that might be use cautiously(it's unfortunately not the case some days,when extreme energies,like anger ect.. takes over,mistakes might be done,I know).This is a sword you know how to use really wisely,it always falls perfectly.A pleasure to read you everyday.

You have this way with words of first making me smile and then breaking my heart. Words are swords, and yours soothe, I'm so glad these children have you. I once wrote that whoever had said 'Sticks and Stones can break my bones...but words will never hurt me' or something to that effect must have been deaf...

Wonderful writing Brian, I am always startled when I leave here, because you paint such real pictures with your sword- I mean, words.
Poetic. True. Honest.
That's it! There is no deception, even in the twisted ending pieces, or the tricky ones. It's all out there, making our brains work a little harder.
Those kids are blessed to have you.

Based on a true story I suppose. I noticed that ash makes a great dull thud when used on the melons of others (at least when wielded by a professional). Scary, violating stuff. The twist, the different point of view of the story also nice.

Excellent dental care! I have been seeing Dr. Fox since 2004, and my teeth have never been better!
This by far is the best dentis...08/03/2014
This by far is the best dentist I have gone to in my life. If I don't like a dentist for any reason I don't go back, so I have been to many dentists. I have had a unique problem since childhood of the local anesthesia not working for a long time and had to suffer much pain because of this. The problem I found was dentists without sufficient understanding of the nervous system. Fox Associate dentists have had that training and know where exactly to place a shot to numb me quickly. Fantastic, no more pain. The first major thing I had done here was an extraction. Painless and fast. The second major thing an implant. Two hours was cleared for my implant but it only took thirty minutes to accomplish. A reason to go to a dentist that has done a lot of implants. Out of 1 to 10 I had a level 3 of pain that lasted fifteen minutes after the procedure and went away. Fantastic. I have waited many years to do this implant because I have not found dentists I trusted enough. (Did I mention I have had two caps put there by dentists that did not know their tradecraft well enough. Mechanistic tradecraft is fine for other professions but not on my precious teeth. A university dentist I went to for consultation said I did not have enough tooth left for a cap). Let me add one more thing. Even the dental assistants are extremely knowledgeable at Fox Associates and could actually answer all my questions I posed to them. Fantastic. Awesome place! Rest of the story: My implant healed exceptionally well judging by an X-ray I saw on a tv monitor that can also display your teeth images if you are interested. I am interested because I had a dentist friend that liked to show me how to read X-rays. Couple of days ago I had the replacement tooth (crown) put on my implant abutment. Let me explain why I am quite pleased with it. When I first met my mother- in- law the only thing she told my wife she didn't like about me was my teeth. If only they knew I spent years at an orthodontist to get them to the shape they are in now- which is a lot better than they were. To put a front tooth in my mouth you need to figure what would look good with the surrounding (weird) teeth and clear a tooth below going in a strange direction. The tooth design is excellent. Took an artist to figure out a tooth design that blends well with the surrounding teeth and Dr.Fox was successful. Also he suggested a color gradient that changes slightly from top to bottom making the tooth look exactly like it is the original tooth. If you happen to see someone going around Asheville smiling a lot- that would be me.

The excitement this week about having Ohio Chautauqua in town makes me think of an 80-year-old aunt who was visiting us in about 1979. My wife was taking her to see our daughter in a school program and was afraid that she might not understand the modern dance they would be doing. She explained to Aunt Helen what she was about to see. My wife was stunned when Aunt Helen stated that she had taught modern dance in a traveling Chautauqua in about 1919.
The Chautauqua movement was an adult education movement founded in 1874 to bring entertainment and culture to rural America. It was named after the Chautauqua Institution in New York State, which many Trumbull County people visit in the summertime today. Aunt Helen explained that she was one of a troop of young people who traveled to many small towns all summer long, performing and teaching in "Tent" or
"Circuit" Chautauquas. These would be set up in "well-drained fields" near town. Popular speakers, such as William Jennings Bryan, highlighted the programs, drawing great crowds. After several days, the Chautauqua would fold its tents and move on.
I have learned that by the mid-1920s when circuit or tent Chautauquas were at the peak of popularity, they appeared in more than 10,000 communities to audiences of more than 45 million people. By 1940, they had about disappeared. Radio, motion pictures and in the next decade, television, brought entertainment into homes, and Chautauquas were no longer broadly popular.
Then, in 1998, the Ohio Humanities Council decided to bring back the Chautauqua idea to modern day Ohio towns. Every other year since then Ohio Chautauqua has presented a new set of actor-scholars in a different theme to five Ohio towns. American humorists, the Civil War, the Roaring Twenties and World War II have been among the popular subjects for these living history portrayals. Local sponsorship here by the Tribune Chronicle, Trumbull 100, Trumbull County Tourism Bureau, the Warren Library Association and the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library helps to finance this stimulating summer production that brings alive personalities and issues from over the years.
Next week, our Ohio Chautauqua will be presented in the red and white tent next to the Kinsman House on Mahoning Avenue in downtown Warren. We will hear scholars portray Goldsborough Bruff, 1849er, Olive Anne Oatmman, Indian captive and Henry David Thoreau, writer and philosopher. Edith Russell, Titanic survivor, will speak, "giving a gripping, first hand account of the Titanic's last days," according to the Tribune Chronicle, and Martin Luther King Jr. will tell about his leadership of the Civil Rights movement and we will hear portions of his powerful speeches.
There will be two workshops in the library each day, one for adults at 2 p.m. and one for children age 8 and older, at 11 a.m. On Friday, Marvin Jefferson, who portrays Dr. King, will work with children to see how their writing can move people to action. Kevin Radaker, who portrays Thoreau, will lead adults to think about how Thoreau's writings anticipate today's environmental concerns. On Saturday, Hank Finkin, who portrays a '49er, will lead children in games and exploration of the Gold Rush era. Dianne Moran, who portrays an Indian captive, will share insights with adults on why there was so much brutality in the dealings between settlers and Native people.
I have found the workshops to be interesting and worthwhile. For example, several years ago I attended the workshop on the principles of the Nuremberg Trials. Principle four states: "The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him." The scholar who led that workshop, as the scholars of this year, was skilled in interpreting this concept. We readily understood that the principle really means that it is not an acceptable excuse to say, "I was just following my superior's orders." This timeless value was made clear to us all.
I think that Aunt Helen would be pleased to know that Chautauquas have returned to public popularity, that I have benefited from Chautauqua and that Chautauqua makes me think of her.

"Riley County Police issued an arrest warrant for 54-year-old Christopher John Crooks earlier this month. Crooks was a contracted physician's assistant at Mercy Hospital...
A Manhattan physician's assistant turned himself in to face rape charges.Riley County Police issued an arrest warrant for 54-year-old Christopher John Crooks earlier this month. Crooks turned himself in Tuesday. He was released on bond. Police say the victim was a female in her late teens, who was not able to give consent because of mental deficiency or disease.
Crooks worked at Mercy Regional Health Care as a contracted physician's assistant. Hospital officials say he has been taken off the schedule."
You can read about this charge
(rape or sexual battery) generally HERE (ksu) and HERE (statutes and local sexual assault registry pics and links).
In short, here is a description of rape and other lesser charges such as sexual battery: (from the K-State Policy Prohibiting Sexual Violence)
"(All acts outlined below are prohibited only when they are not mutually consensual. Consent is the positive cooperation in act or attitude pursuant to an exercise of free will.)
The persons consenting must act freely and voluntarily and have knowledge of the nature of the act or transaction involved. The determination regarding the presence or absence of consent shall be based upon the totality of the circumstances present in a particular case, including the context in which the alleged incidents occurred. Consent will not necessarily be inferred from silence or passivity alone.
An act is nonconsensual
if the victim verbally or otherwise indicates refusal or:
a) is overcome by force or fear
b) is unconscious or physically powerless
c) is incapable of giving consent because of mental deficiency or disease or because of the effect of any alcoholic liquor, narcotic drug or other substance, which condition was known by the offender or was reasonably apparent to the offender.
B. The following acts are covered by this Policy, whether attempted or completed:
1. any penetration, however slight, of the female sex organ by a finger, the male sex organ, or any object;
2. oral or anal copulation or any penetration, however slight, of the anal opening by any body part or object;
3. touching another person with any body part, substance, or object in a sexual context or in a sexual way or to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of the offender or another;
4. disrobing oneself, disrobing another or causing another to disrobe in a sexual context or a sexual way or to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of the offender or another;
5. causing another person to see, hear, or become aware of sexual activity or sexually-sensitive body parts if the intention of the offender is to arouse or satisfy sexual desires of the offender or if the acts would arouse fear in the victim.
Excessive use of alcohol and other drugs precedes many incidents of sexual violence. Use of these substances may interfere with one's capacity either to consent to or to refuse sexual activity, and taking advantage of that vulnerability is unacceptable. Under no circumstances does the use of alcohol or other drugs diminish personal responsibility for aggressive or other socially unacceptable behavior." (page 1)

This Week
As the main characters in Absolutely Fabulous, Edina and Patsy are the most hilarious British TV imports since the innkeepers of Fawlty Towers. Their inspired, inebriate lunacy returns this week to Comedy Central (Mondays, 8 p.m. ET) for its third and final go-round of six episodes.
Absolutely Fabulous is the addled brainchild of Jennifer Saunders, who plays Edina, the flighty owner of a chichi London PR firm. Joanna Lumley is Patsy, a decidedly absentee editor at a fashion magazine. Patsy starts every day all frosted and flashy, her blonde hair swept up in a gravity-defying Ivana hive. By midnight, having consumed a hogshead of booze, two cartons of cigarettes and various illegal substances, she inevitably ends up looking like a collapsed soufflé.
Some of the wit is too Brit for American audiences to grasp, but the show's outrageous attitude translates perfectly. (In fact, Roseanne, who's pretty fabulous herself, has bought the rights to make an American version. Carrie Fisher and Barbara Carrera have been mentioned as possible stars.)
The final six episodes take in a New Year's Eve romp that never gets off the ground as well as a planned orgy for which Edina hires two athletic young men. All in a decadent day's work for AbFab, which along with The Simpsons, is television's most savage satire.
MTV (Weekdays, 7 p.m. ET)
What do you get when you cross Studs with The Dating Game? MTV's hormonally intoxicated game show. A young woman sits on a throne while 50 rowdy young men stand on a stage behind her woofing and whistling. During the first round, she selects archetypes from general categories such as weight, commitment, facial hair, dating style, etc. Each preference eliminates a portion of the crowd, and the losers file past our picky princess until only eight eligibles remain. Then, still sight unseen, they regale her with verbal enticements like "Yeah, wazup? You pick me, it's gonna be one hell of a night." She asks them contrived questions until only one lucky finalist remains and the couple is sent off, sans chaperon, on a wacky theme date. Then it is time to switch genders.
This is a sleazy and degrading enterprise, although the participants seem to be enjoying themselves. As for me, I'll stick with Chuck Woolery.
The Disney Channel (Sun., June 11, 9 p.m. ET)
In this concert, taped at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles last fall, John takes to the stage sheathed in a gleaming red plastic suit. By his standards, that's understated. So is the show, which delves for the most part into the less-visited precincts of John's repertoire. Accompanied only by his piano, some subtle taped augmentation and percussionist Ray Cooper, Elton delivers simple, penetrating renditions of his anthems from "Your Song" to "Daniel" to his most recent single, "Believe." He even rearranges "Crocodile Rock" as a ballad. The spare setting showcases John's voice, a wonderfully nimble instrument that has often gotten lost in the mad shuffle of his flamboyant showmanship. The concert was a benefit for John's AIDS Foundation, a connection excised from this Disney special.
NBC (Sun., June 11, 10 p.m. ET)
Spun off from a TV movie that aired last year, this show stars Robert Conrad {Baa Baa Black Sheep) as a helicopter pilot who heads up a volunteer rescue unit in a sleepy mountain hamlet. Strike that—how about an emergency-infested mountain hamlet? In the first episode, a bunch of spoiled college brats go mountain biking, and one sails right off a cliff. Meanwhile an autistic boy gets lost in the woods.
In the second episode, as a forest fire rages, we learn that the nickname for Conrad's character is "Tooter" (because he plays the bagpipes). Whew! I had thought they were calling him "Tudor" because Conrad's imperious manner recalls Henry VIII.
Extreme, an ABC series with James Brolin, covered this territory far more colorfully a few months ago—and disappeared without a trace. That can't be a good omen for this mawkish, formulaic melodrama, which later this week will assume its regular slot: Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
>BY MORE THAN LOVE POSSESSED What has gotten into some of our favorite soap opera characters lately? Could it be...Satan? On Melrose Place, Kimberly (Marcia Cross) was never too balanced. But last month, every time she looked in a mirror, there was an evil apparition with wild hair and a Fu Manchu-mustache egging her on to murder and mayhem. (Remind anyone of Twin Peaks and its demonic spirit Bob?) In the season-ending cliff-hanger, Kimberly gleefully flicked the switches that would ignite a series of firebombs strategically placed around the show's eponymous apartment complex. Meanwhile, over on Days of Our Lives, saintly Marlena (Deidre Hall) seems to have had a change of heart. Or soul. As her blue eyes have turned green, yellow and finally Orphan Annie white, Marlena has spoken in tongues, levitated from her bed, dispatched a swarm of bees to sting someone and been transformed briefly into a jaguar. Now she is undergoing an exorcism co-conducted by John (Drake Hogestyn), her former husband who is now a priest. How have viewers responded to this supernatural story line? "Some deeply religious people have taken offense," says Hall. "At the same time, we have increased enormously in our young demographics. That tells me there are a lot of teenagers out there who are watching vigilantly every day and laughing their fannies off. Then there are my longtime fans who are simply watching and hoping that at the end of all this I wind up getting back together with John."

The Film
What happens when the smallest, poorest town in Massachusetts teams up with art world luminaries to build a modern art museum? Can big city conceptual artists and blue-collar natives find common ground and a common cause? That's what filmmaker Nancy Kelly investigates in Downside Up, which captures the beginnings of America's largest museum of contemporary art, MASS MoCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) and the rebirth of its host city, North Adams, Massachusetts.
Through the eyes of North Adams native Kelly and her family, most of whom worked in the former capacitor factory that now houses the museum, the film explores the subtle changes in the spirit of a town that — like hundreds of former factory towns across the country — had been given up for dead. Exploring the tentative, dangerous notion of hope in a town that was widely viewed as hopeless, Downside Up is the story of seemingly disparate people reaching across the prickly fence of class divisions to work together for a common good.

In a big city that has most of its basic food groups covered, the search for great fried chicken in Philadelphia is an unexpectedly paltry quest.
The mysterious near-absence of it here is one of our greatest gustatory shortcomings. And to date, I've been able to count the worthy candidates to that mythical chicken crown on one hand: Corinne's in Camden (the last of the cast-iron pan-fryers); Deborah's Kitchen (the Girard Avenue soul-food take-out from Marvin Harrison's aunt); Ms. Tootsie's (South Street's sleek soul food lounge); Jones (pressure-cooked for updated comfort à la KFC by our very own Colonel Starr); and Delilah's at the Reading Terminal Market (on its better days.)

An inflatable bed wedge is just that.....a bed wedge.
The only different thing about this bed wedge, though, is that you inflate it
with air instead of having it filled with foam or padding.
This is good for a lot of reasons, and it can actually end up better than a
traditional bed wedge.
Want to know why? Well, here are just a few of the reasons.
For one, it is inflatable. This means that it fills with air, so it will be lightweight, and you
can adjust how much air is in it by letting more air out or putting more back in.
Second, it is easily stored by letting the air out. With a normal bed wedge, you need to store
it as it is all of the time...in a big wedge shape. Now, a bed wedge might be the perfect shape to keep someone
comfortable in a bed, but have you ever tried to store one in your top dresser drawer? You can't....because it is
way too big.
An inflatable bed wedge, on the other hand, can be deflated as well as inflated, meaning that
you can let the air out and fold it up as small as you need it to be. With this angle, you could actually put a bed
wedge that has been deflated into a shoe box! It is actually that easy to store!
And of course, you can use an inflatable bed wedge pillow for everything that you could use a
regular one for, just make sure that the outer covering does not get punctured, or your bed wedge will get pretty
flat pretty fast!
If you are thinking of getting an inflatable wedge pillow, here are some things to think about.
First of all, remember that not all bed wedges are the same size, so take into account what size you will need
before ordering. There are usually not completely different sized bed wedges, but the size does change from brand
to brand and from make to model.
So, if you need a specific size, make sure to find out how big it is. (Keep in mind, too, that
you can let a little bit of air out if you need to in order to make the inflatable wedge smaller, but too much air
let out makes it awkward to lay on, as you tend to "sink" down into it!)
Price is not a huge concern for inflatable bed wedges, especially considering the fact that they
are often actually cheaper than non-inflatable bed wedges. Mainly, you just want to remember that they are also not
quite as sturdy, so utilizing a little bit of caution (and keeping the cat away from it!) can really increase the
life of your inflatable bed wedge!
Inflatable bed wedges help to make many people a lot more comfortable every single day, and they
can do the same for you. Just keep them close at hand in case you need one, and you cannot go wrong.

Maples, Estherwood OK center
ESTHERWOOD – At a regularly held meeting of the Estherwood Town Council, Mayor Bill Maples and the Board of Aldermen voiced strong support for the proposed cooperative endeavor between the Acadia Parish Police Jury and American Legion Hospital to provide a trauma center for the people of Acadia Parish.
The proposed trauma center would be housed in a hurricane proof building, newly constructed adjacent to American Legion Hospital. This trauma center would provide emergency medical care 24 hours a day, even during the most violent storms.
The resolution as adopted states: "Be it further resolved that Mayor Bill Maples along with the Board of Aldermen of the Village of Estherwood do hereby give their full support to this cooperative endeavor."

"In conjunction with Earth Day, the Dutch electronics company Philips released a revolutionary new light bulb designed to last 20 years. Do you think when the guy thought of this, a light bulb went off over his head?" – Jimmy Kimmel
The truth behind China's nine-dash map
Even Jose Maria Sison, founder of the Maoist Communist Party of the Philippines, calls Communist China's claim to Panatag Shoal a historical absurdity:
"Chinese historical claims since ancient times amount to an absurdity as this would be like Italy claiming as its sovereign possession all areas previously occupied by the Roman Empire."
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Chairman Joma Sison are of one mind on the issue.
In response to a self-serving position paper where the Red Chinese Embassy claimed "Huangyan Island (China's name for Panatag Shoal) has been the traditional fishing area of Chinese fishermen for generations," and "It is China that first discovered this island, gave it the name, incorporated it into its territory, and exercised juristiction over it", the DFA said:
"Historical claims must be substantiated by a clear historic title. Fishing rights are not a mode of acquiring sovereignty. Neither could it be construed that the act of fishing by Chinese fishermen is a sovereign act of a State, nor can be considered as a display of State authority."
Chairman Sison adds that if Red China can cite historical records then the Philippines can cite pre-historic records:
"Archaeological evidence shows that the islands, reefs and shoals at issue have been used by inhabitants of what is now the Philippines since pre-historic times."
So there.
But Red China stands by a map with a nine-dash line that it presented to the UN on May 7, 2007, the day after Vietnam and Malaysia asserted sovereignty over their respective continental shelves. The nine-dash line is a u-shaped squiggle between the southeast asian landmass and the Philippine archipelago. Red China claims it owns everything inside that wavy doodle.
The issue then is the provenance of the map and the u-shaped nine-dash line. I asked a forensic expert to look into it as my own little pro bono contribution towards easing tensions between the Philippines and Red China.
The forensic report is hereby submitted for your perusal and evaluation:
Upon a careful examination of the aforesaid ancient map, I have reached the following conclusions;
First, the map is authentic. However, there is evidence that it was tampered. If, as the Chinese Embassy claims, the map was drawn by the famous Chinese Imperial cartographer Hao Shao centuries ago, then the lower left corner area of the map would have the chop of Fu Manchu and not the smiling face of Mao who only became China's emperor in 1949;
Second, I was suspicious of the u-shaped nine-dash line because it did not look as old as the map itself. I applied chemicals to the line, to see if there was anything hidden beneath it. The test proved negative. However, the line moved after it came into contact with the chemicals. Suspecting that it was not actually a part of the map, I put a tweezer to it and I was able to lift the entire u-shaped object without any difficulty. Hence the wavy object is not an integral part of the map;
Third, laid flat and straight the u-shaped object measures about 10 inches. I snipped off a quarter inch from it and put that under an electron microscope. What I saw surprised me so I conducted additional tests on the object. The tests confirmed what I observed using the electron microscope. The object is a dried noodle string. Subsequent DNA and carbon testing suggests that the said noodle may have slipped from Mao's chopsticks sometime in 1949;
Fourth, Mao was a sloppy noodle slurper."
I presented the forensic report to Comrade Shu Li, the Embassy apparatchik who wrote the self-serving position paper on Panatag. Caught off-guard, he begged for time to consult with his ambassador, Her Excellency Madame Suzie Wong, before giving me a response. He called back two days later.
Below are excerpts from the transcript of my phone conversation with Comrade Shu Li:
Shu Li: "China not intelested in explolation and exploitation of oil on Huangyan Island. China only catching shak for shak fin soup and dumpling, you see?
MB: "But you have to ask for our permission, you have to abide by international law."
Shu Li: "Communist China lespect intelnational law but hungly stomach know no law like youl plesiden Elap always say, okidoki?"
MB: "Is that it?"
Shu Li: "Ha? Ok, I undelstand. So solly, so solly. Ok, Chinese Embassy invite you to noodle soup."
MB: "No thanks."
Shu Li: "Ha? No eat shak fin? Ok, we eat Yang Chow flied lice, vely delicious also, okidoki?"
MB: "It's FRIED RICE, you land-grabbing commie PLICK!"
A Mafia don, a missing teen-ager, and the Vatican
From the DAILY BEAST comes this gripping report on a mafia don, a missing teen-ager, and the Vatican.
- Why a known-mobster like De Pedis is buried on the grounds of a Vatican church has been the object of much speculation since 1997, when a church maid revealed the tomb's existence to an inquisitive journalist. The Vatican was always cagey about why the mobster was buried in one of its churches, and ultimately, the church's silence spurred countless conspiracy theories. Now, thanks to shocking Vatican letters leaked in the Vatileaks scandal that is rocking the Holy See, the Italian police are less interested in why he's buried there. Instead, they want to open the tomb to see if the remains of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi are interred with those of the mobster.
Orlandi was the daughter of a prominent non-clerical Vatican employee who worked in the Vatican's special events office that organizes papal functions and Catholic celebrations. She disappeared without a trace after leaving her Vatican apartment for music lessons on the afternoon of June 22, 1983. Her lessons were in a music school adjacent to Sant'Apollinare church, and the last witnesses to see her alive told investigators the girl crawled into a dark green BMW, though that lead could never be corroborated. Her disappearance came at a tense moment for the Vatican, and nearly everyone associated her presumed kidnapping with a wider scandal. In 1981,Mehmet Ali Agca, a Turkish gunman, shot Pope John Paul II, nearly killing him. Orlandi's parents received a series of phone calls from thugs who said they would give back their daughter if the Vatican released Ali Agca. The calls soon stopped and the Orlandi family was left wondering if their daughter was alive or dead.

Bad adage
Mga Nguynguy
There was trouble in Mendiola Bridge this morning. The Kilusang Magbubukid were holding a rally asking the president to increase the price of palay. Then the Kilusang Manggagawa arrived to ask the president to raise the minimum wage to P125 a day. They broke through the police lines and went straight for the Palace gates.
A couple of weeks ago their allied groups, Piston and co., held a transport strike asking the president to lower the price of gas and at the same time raise jeepney and bus fares. Other leftist groups are also asking the president to lower the price of water and electricity.
Okay naman lahat na hinihingi nila. Kaya lang pwede bang gawin lahat yun ng sabay-sabay? At kaya bang kontralahin ng president ang presyo ng langis, utilities, bigas, commodities, transportation atbp. ng walang sakripisyong kapalit sa mga social services o nang hindi magkakaroon ng higanteng deficit?
Why can't those leftists come up with a comprehensive economic plan that would create an economy of high wages and low prices without any hidden costs? Siguro mas okay yun kesa sa mag-nguynguy ng mag-nguynguy sila.
Pacman's fighting spirits
Binay and Estrada try to create a rainbow
Estrada and BInay were running mates in 2010, Estrada forgot to vote for Binay and Binay forgot to campaign for Estrada. But that's water under the bridge now. 2013 is prelude to 2016 and the two politicians decided that by banding together they will be able to achieve their political goals. Estrada wants one of his sons to become president or vice president by 2016 or later, Binay wants to become president by 2016 or sooner.
Estrada's Partido ng Masang Pilipino and Binay's Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan formed a coalition called United Nationalist Alliance. The UNA senatorial slate speaks for itself: Loren Legarda, Chiz Escudero, Gringo Honasan, JV Ejercito, Milagross Magsaysay, Migz Zubiri, and any one of Binay's children who are not yet in government.
Joey De Venecia is also part of the ticket. But he's not like the ones listed above. He sacrificed a lot to do the right thing. He turned down a huge "buy-out" from Abalos, cost his father the Speakership, and neglected his businesses because there were certain lines he would not cross. Same thing with Koko Pimentel. He could have run in 2010 and surely won but he chose to pursue his election protest against Zubiri because he believed he won in 2007 and proving that was more important than winning a senate seat in a subsequent election. That's principle, something that Legarda and his own father, both also filed election protests after losing elections, thought was not as valuable as winning a senate seat.
Ernesto Maceda describes Binay's role in the coalition, "He does not just play an active role. He is the sole decision-making authority." The sole decision-making authority. That's quintessential Binay as mayor of Makati. The irony of a dictator leading a party called Partido Demokratiko Pilipino is lost to UNA members.
The issue in the coming polls, if we go beyond the politics of personality, will be between two philosophies. One says the way to progress is through national unity, never mind if it is a union between the good, the bad, and the ugly. The other believes that the only way to progress is through Daan Matuwid. Magpakatino muna tayo bago tayo ay magsama-sama sa ilalim ng isang partido because blending black and white only produces a drab gray.
Greening the tax system
Greening the tax system
Filomeno S. Sta. Ana III
Green taxes, fees, and user fees are essential components of a sustainable economy. Green taxes perform three important functions, namely:
1. They generate significant revenues, which contribute to financing development, promoting equity, and maintaining macroeconomic stability.
2. They correct for the external costs of market failure. Specifically we refer to failure to capture the costs of economic activities, including consumption that damage the environment or threaten the well-being of future generations. The taxes capture (or internalize) the full costs of the negative effects or spillovers.
3. Similarly, green taxes serve the sumptuary objective of altering people's consumption behavior by increasing prices of goods that are environmentally harmful.
Biodiversity, environmental sustainability, and slowing down climate change are all public goods. In fact, amidst climate change, these are all global public goods. In order to provide public goods, government intervention is inescapable. And it goes without saying that green taxation is one of the principal tools for collective action, be this at the national level or the supra-national level.
Green taxes do yield substantial revenues, for the goods and transactions they cover are part of the day-to-day lives of peoples. Every one has a carbon footprint; almost everyone cannot avoid using non-renewable resources. The full costs of such consumption, ordinarily not reflected in the market price, can only be accounted for through taxation.
Thus even a modest tax rate translates into big revenue gains. In turn these additional revenues can be used not only to protect the environment in particular but likewise to finance development in general, especially in developing countries.
Take the case of the carbon tax. Its main objective is to address the market failure (or the negative externality) that leads to environmental damage. At the same time,the potential revenues from a carbon tax are huge. A Carbon Adaptation Tax, as proposed by the Swiss Government in 2009, could generate global revenues, which are expected to be around USD 48.5 billion per annum. These revenues could be raised according to the "polluter pays" principle through a levy of USD2 per ton of CO2 on all fossil emissions, with a tax-free emission level of 1.5 tons of CO2 per capita.
Progressive taxation is a cardinal principle. That is to say, the rich or the better-off classes have to pay higher taxes or higher tax rates than the poor or the lower income group.
One can argue that green taxes are generally progressive. After all, it is the rich or the upper-class people who have a much bigger carbon footprint than the poor. They ride airplanes; they own gas-guzzling SUVs; they turn on air-conditioning units 24/7; they have all the latest entertainment gadgets that use up a lot of energy; and they wear precious metals mined from the mountains of Africa and Asia.
But of course, the poor also consume non-renewable resources and engage in activities (e.g., cutting wood for cooking or doing slash and burn for a living) that also destroy the environment.
In this context, even the poor must be subject to green taxation and regulation. After all, such taxation and regulation will ultimately be for their benefit, since they are the most adversely affected by the problems arising from climate change and environmental destruction.
Nevertheless, policymakers can find ways to moderate the impact of the tax that affects the poor. For example, a tax imposed on petroleum can be designed in a way that poor farmers or fishermen can purchase fuel at a lower rate through, say, a voucher system. Further, the price increase in transportation from a tax hike in petroleum can be offset by a subsidy for energy-efficient mass transportation.
Carefully designed, a green tax system can contribute to reducing environmental degradation, raising public revenues and altering consumer's behavior without adversely affecting the poor.

Did Jesus make him do it?
This story from the bible makes Jesus look self-indulgent and Judas a champion of the poor. Consequently, Judas can claim that he turned Jesus over to the chief priests because Jesus was betraying the poor.
Below are two versions of the incident known as Jesus' anointment at Bethany, from the Apostles Mark and John:
- Mark 14:
3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
John 12:
1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. 3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. (Is John bad-mouthing Judas?)
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. 8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
Wala lang.

End corruption take corporate money out of politics
The brazen corruption of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is deplorable. But some would ask: what's the big deal? Corruption is rampant in U.S. politics and is "as American as apple pie."
Believing in government again
All through congressional hearings around the auto loan last month, not one public official or news reporter ever asked General Motors and Ford CEOs the most important question of all: "So how come you guys are so dumb here but so smart in Europe?"
Health care: a human right and a national resource
Public education has long been considered a basic resource essential to our country's well-being and its continued economic growth, as well as to its pledge of equal opportunity for all. While the concept of a free public education has been increasingly challenged in recent times, the fundamental reasoning remains intact.
King Day 2009
This year's Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 19, may be the most celebrated commemoration of Dr. King's birthday since the federal holiday was first observed in 1986. Responding to President-elect Barack Obama's call to make it a national day of service, thousands of service events were planned around the country.

Just got my Blitz RC Works Pitts Special from Banana Hobby!
Took a chance on Banana hobby even after they had some bad reviews. Used their online chat feature to make sure the Pitts was in stock (probably a good idea before an order). Shipped quickly, arrived on time. No worries. Beautiful plane out of the box, and I'll keep you posted how it builds, looks and flies.
To say the build was easy would be an understatement. No glue needed. All servos in place. Rudder and elevator already totally connected. Two screws for the bottom wing, two for the top into the wing support frame on the front of the fuse, and two through the top wing into the wing struts. Exceedingly simple. One of the blind nuts on the lower wing came off in the box. Epoxied it back on before the build. Seems like the same problem happened to someone else I read about. Perhaps a QC issue. The only real issue is with where to put the esc and battery. It has two compartments, obviously designed before Li-po batteries took over. I put the receiver under the wing, and put the battery in the front compartment as suggested by some of the other things I've read about this plane. CG was within the range suggested in the manual. I put a little weight in the nose to bring it forward a little. It's beautiful. The only issue I can see with the plane itself is that, like a lot of foam planes, some of the control surfaces may not be exactly straight. I'm not an expert but usually a little pressure or a little heat and pressure will solve the problem. The rudder is a tiny bit warped, but I don't see it being a huge issue. The ESC is already getting hot just being plugged in, so I'm not sure if I will have to drill holes to keep it cool. I'll maiden it tomorrow if it's not too snowy or windy and add some info then. Truly, the plane is great looking. Doesn't look like foam and the paint job is excellent. Very nice model. This is my kind of plane. Great looking and exceedingly easy to build.
Maiden flight today: Nice slow speed flying. Very stable. CG might have been a little back. Was flying at near stall and it had very calm characteristics. Came in for a landing a little slow. It probably needs to be flown in a bit more as I either came in steep or tip-stalled at the last moment and broke the prop. That's when I realized that I had left my package of extra props at home. End of flying day. More tomorrow. Lovely plane. Love it. Beautiful and flies nicely. Lots of power. I think I was flying at about a quarter throttle just to take it easy. A+ plane. Very highly recommended.
p.s. added some stick-on weights (1.5oz) to the front battery compartment to move cg forward.
second flight and PICS!
After a second flight in nasty winds, I had a bad takeoff (it was calm when I started the run, but a 25 mph gust blew me into a tree!) and a crash. Repairs with epoxy, and flew again today. Nice, docile flight and some aerobatics. Need to increase control throws on the horns and may consider some prop changes. Flew about 8 minutes and used only 700 or so mah out of the 1800 mah battery. May have been pulling less power since it was bitter cold, but a really nice flight time. Several slow but still powered landings were a breeze. Came in floating on no throttle, upped to about 10 percent, and landed nice and smooth. Here are some pics. Note the stick on weights in the first pic. Moves cg forward and makes for a VERY tight fit for the battery but it works well. More info listed with the pics.

by the way, much cheaper versions available with different color schemes at hobbyking.
Agree on all counts
GLAD to find this thread!!! I just purchased mine yesterday. Will most likely ship or at least process Monday. I ordered a JPower F-86 from them a while back. Ordered on a Wednesday, had it the following Wednesday. Still fly it, it's a blast!! Simple and slow little jet but total fun for the bucks.
Really excited about getting this lil Pitts!!!
Let us know how it goes. I love mine, and just ordered a few 10x7 apc props. Hoping they provide a little more pull for aerobatic performance.
A friend at our field has the old Hobby King version before Banana bought the rights to the ArtTech design. He loves it and plans to buy another one.
Some of the mods he suggested are:
1. Bigger prop.
2. Bigger wheels to aviod prop strike with bigger prop.
3. Take out the single aileron servo and do one for each.
4. Add some nose weight.
5. Maybe strengthen the lower wing.
I'm curious if this version requires the same, or is most of that taken care of by now?
If you look at mine, I put some weight in the nose and I just got an apc 10x7 prop, so I'll let you know how that works.

I loved mine--right up to the point that I hit a free-standing basketball backboard at almost full speed. I really wish I had video. I just wanted to mention a "word to the wise" here; I once ordered a replacement set of wings for mine from BH, and the replacement wings were set up only for aerilons on the bottom wings, not top and bottom like the new plane. This can be worked around, of course, but I thought I should let folks know . . .
Just switched my prop to an apc 10x7. Stronger pull, better performance, way better vertical (essentially unlimited). One note, the thin shaft doesn't really fit the main prop adapter that comes with apc props. I just cranked mine on tight so the washer and nut put it in the center. Seemed to work fine, but I'm sure it's not perfectly balanced (for those of you who really worry about prop balancing). Still, it flies much better than the stock 10x4.7 prop.

The sun is about to shine on the solar sector 0 commentsMay 27, 2011 10:09 AM | about stocks: JASO
Solar has started to come to the forefront around the globe in recent years. I believe that at this time in the middle of 2011 is the beginning of the solar energy age. 2010 was a great year for solar, growing at a worldwide pace of 139% installed from the previous year but solar still only accounted for less than or around 1% if the worlds energy source.
With growth like that there are going to be growing pains. Those pains are a good thing and here's why: The cost of solar panels per watt has steadily been decreasing at a record pace as increased competition has forced prices down on panels. Grid parity has been achieved in certain areas of the world where fuel costs are high. There is increasing pressure to bring costs down on inverters and other parts which are used as part of a complete system for solar energy.
As a whole sector the margin of profits were mostly lower in the first quarter of 2011 than they were in 2010. The strong companies able to adapt to the new lower pricing while still able to provide quality are the ones that are going to be the real winners in the coming solar energy age.
As far as countries paving the polysilicon solar path, Japan accounted for about 50% of the worldwide solar industry in 2004. Then Germany took the lead in 2005-2006, China now has the lead at about 59% of worldwide solar makers as of 2010.
I believe in the good old fashioned solar cells made from silicon, the same solar cells I have in the calculator sitting on my desk that I've owned for 15 years of trouble free service. I've never had to buy a battery for it either, it doesn't have one.
Silicon is the same stuff that has been working great in computer chips for many years, it is a naturally ocurring element. Silicon is the second most abundant element after oxygen, making up about 25%+ of the earths crust by mass.
Why aren't there solar panels on every roof? The initial price of the installed system. It's expensive to get started without the cash or financing. As systems get cheaper solar is getting more and more attractive every day. In some areas building owners are being approached by companies that will fix the roof of their building, install and maintain the solar panels with a 20 year lease to buy the electric from them at a set rate lower than the normal electric bill and no cash outlay to the owner of the building. How's that for creative? The owner of the building is getting solar panels on the roof, saving money every month on the cost of electric, and it doesn't cost a dime out of pocket as well as doing something good for the environment.
Another thing I really like about polysilicon photovoltaic solar cells is there are no moving parts to wear out or make noise and they are not toxic like thin film CIGS.
Solar seems like the perfect answer to all of the worlds energy needs. I am "Pounding the Table" for the case of solar energy and the time to get started investing in the sector is now. My money is on the biggest of the best Chinese Solar companies JASO and STP.

4/12/2013 - Theresa Check Inducted Into Cincinnati State Athletic Hall of Fame
April 12, 2013

Theresa Check inducted into Cincinnati State Athletic Hall of Fame
Theresa Check, former athletic director and women's basketball coach at Cincinnati State, has been inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame. The recognition took place at the annual athletic awards banquet on April 11.
Check compiled a 64-23 record in three seasons as head coach at Cincinnati State, directing the Surge to a pair of Ohio Community College Athletic Conference championships and an appearance in the National Junior College Athletic Association national tournament in 2011. She relinquished her coaching responsibilities following the 2010-11 season, but Cincinnati State Athletic Director said her efforts helped pave the way for the team's 2012 national tournament appearance. (The Cincinnati State women finished fourth in that event.)
During Check's tenure as Cincinnati State's athletic director, teams from the college made five NJCAA national tournament appearances in men's basketball, women's basketball, men's soccer and men's golf.
Check retired as athletic director in 2012, but continues to teach at Cincinnati State as an adjunct.
Prior to joining Cincinnati State, Check established herself as one of the top women's basketball coaches in Ohio. Her teams compiled more than 400 victories in 17 seasons as head women's basketball coach at Central State, earning Converse/NAIA Coach of the Year honors in 1993. She also served as athletic director there for 11 years. Under her leadership, football was reinstated and tennis, volleyball, baseball, softball and bowling were added.
Check is a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame and the Central State Hall of Fame.
Check is the third person to be enshrined in the Cincinnati State Athletic Hall of Fame. She joins John Hurley, former athletic director and men's basketball coach, and Omar Cummings, an All-American soccer player who is now playing at the professional level.
Cincinnati State offers more than 75 associate degree and certificate programs in business technologies, health and public safety, engineering technologies, humanities and sciences and information technologies. Cincinnati State has one of the largest cooperative education programs in the United States.

CARROLLTON Salem's final road game of the season was so close, yet so far from victory on Friday.
Salem's defense pushed Carrollton to the limit, but the effort still was not enough as the Warriors knocked off the Quakers 28-19 at Community Field.
"There were things we did really well," Carrollton coach Eric McCort said. "There are some things we need to improve as we move on."
Carrollton (4-4, 2-3 in the Northeastern Buckeye Conference) relied on the running game with quarterback Zade Deitz who had a 10-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. When Deitz couldn't find openings, he connected with either running back Tyler Dodd or wide receiver Adam Warner.
McCort also felt that the three field goals from Daniel Leary made a difference.
"I really thought our kicking game was really good," McCort said. "That, I think, was the margin of victory for us."
The Warriors defense also applied pressure to the Quakers including a sack on Salem's sophomore quarterback Matthew Weingart by Adam Warner in the third quarter, two fumble recoveries and then an interception by defensive back Lane Hartong.
Warner, who had 48 yards in his five catches, was happy for his team.
"We're coming back being refocused after the game before West Branch," Warner said. "We've started our season back around."
Compared to recent weeks, it was a lot closer, and a lot better of a game for the Quakers (2-6, 0-5) according to Salem coach Ron Johnson.
"They tackled with intensity," Johnson said. "They played with total disregard of their bodies, throwing them around and that's what it takes to be a great football team, and we showed that tonight."
The defense of Salem showed improvement, holding the Warriors to only 18 points in the first half - a big difference from the past few games.
As the first half closed, Weingart passed to wide receiver Blake Hochadel, but a lateral pass from Hochadel to wide receiver Marcus Crittenden resulted in a touchdown.
Weingart, who also ran for 10 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, appeared a little more conservative with his passing than in recent weeks, but Johnson says that it's the team that calls the plays.
"He hasn't thrown the ball because we didn't call him to throw the ball," Johnson said. "We wanted to shorten his game with those big backs in the field."
Another problem was their fumbles - five of them - with two recovered by the Warriors.
"It's the first time we've put the ball in the ground," Johnson said. "We haven't done that all year, and we lost two tonight."
Weingart had better accuracy but not as much yardage this week as he went 13 for 21 passing for 156 yards. Deitz was 14 for 26 for 174 yards and rushed for 52 yards in his 16 carries.
Dodd led the Warriors with 93 yards in 13 carries. Haeden Panezott led the Quakers with 53 rushing yards in 15 carries while Mike Popa went 38 yards in his three catches.
Both teams are home next week. Carrollton plays Marlington next Friday in the Warriors' final home game of 2013. The Quakers host Canton South next Friday.
The game ended a three-game streak of sixty-plus-point surrenders by the Quakers, and is their closest game since their third week loss to East Liverpool.
Salem is still the only winless team in the Northeastern Buckeye Conference league standings and just one of two NBC teams to not win on the road in 2013 with the other being West Branch.
