Irritating prospects
They're all irritating but that's not what I meant. Some companies actually go to great lengths to irritate their prospective customers, sometimes even their potentially most lucrative customers.
The all time champions at doing this are magazines like Time, Newsweek, The New Yorker and newspapers, most notably The New York Times, The Boston Globe (same thing, I suppose), The LA Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, (Houston Chronicle, too) plus the Seattle, Atlanta, Washington, Fort Lauderdale and Saint Petersburg rags. These are just the especially buffoonish operations that spring to mind.
Magazines and newspapers are losing circulation at a phenomenal clip and their publishers blame the Internet. Ha! Can it be possible they haven't noticed that they constantly piss off at least half of their potential readership, the half that doesn't get the news from the Internet?
How magazines and newspapers irritate prospects is simple and depressingly stupid. In the eyes of their former readers, they have stopped being normal every day dopes with left of center politics who somehow managed to get the news out with very little bias except on the editorial page and become preening, posing, pompous trendoid cretins who soak every single column inch in what polite people call liberal platitudes and really-irritated people think of as rank one-sided bullshit filled with lies, half truths and irrelevant opinion (in "news" stories or, in magazines, just plain stories). There's no balance anymore and that is staggeringly stupid.
Check the recent election results: roughly half of the country is conservative. Half of the rest couldn't tell the difference between the Communist Manifesto and The Bill of Rights if you ripped off the title pages and the remaining 25% is as left of center as the print medium's writers, editors and managers.
Let us review:
Potential audience: 100%
Indifferent part of the audience: 25%
Lefties: 25%
Centrists and Righties: 50%
Newspapers and magazines appeal to the Lefties and get the Indifferents by default. In the meantime, they're pissing off Centrists and Righties who would shoot themselves before buying their products. Helllllooooo? Losing money are you? Must be the Internet.

Removing the faults in a stagecoach may produce a perfect stagecoach, but it is unlikely to produce the first motor car. Edward De Bono
We South Carolinians seem to have a lot of addictions, among them college football, barbecue, tobacco and Southern cooking. But we may just have to admit that our biggest collective addiction seems to be politics and government connections, and I dont mean that in a healthy way.
Once again, a Lowcountry taxpayer-funded institution has cast its net nationwide in search of a visionary new leader.
And once again, said institution has found that of all the interested and qualified candidates across this great nation of ours, the absolute best candidate for the job is sitting right there in the South Carolina legislature.
The College of Charleston did this in selecting Glen McConnell as its next president, and the Charleston Aviation Authority did it when it selected State Senator Paul Campbell as its executive director.
At least McConnell will resign his present post as lieutenant governor to take the CofC job.
Sen. Campbell will collect a $192,000 salary from the Aviation Authority while continuing to serve as a state senator. Not bad part-time work, if you can find it.
The race card being played in the McConnell controversy is not only bogus, but it obscures a greater issue in this state. Are the hallowed halls of the state capitol in Columbia now the fount of all knowledge, leadership, and wisdom in this state? Of course not, but they are the source of appropriated funds, the mothers milk to which South Carolina is addicted. We may need to change our state moniker from sandlappers to taxlappers.
Now two vital Lowcountry institutions that have a tremendous effect on the future and vitality of our region have shown local citizens as well as people around the country that whatever expertise and experience qualified leaders in highly specialized fields elsewhere in the country may have to offer, it cannot compare to what is most important here: political clout.
In the McConnell selection, it seems one simple question puts his candidacy into focus: if all of his experience in politics and appropriating public funds had occurred in any other state, would that have made him a qualified candidate for the CofC job?
So now we live with the selection of yet another political insider from within the same state government that brought us:
The State Treasurer Thomas Ravenel scandal, resignation, and indictment
The Lt. Governor Ken Ard scandal, resignation and indictment
The State Rep. Thad Viers scandal, resignation and indictment
The State Sen. Robert Ford scandal and resignation
The Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell ongoing campaign finance investigation
And the list goes on.
We can do better, South Carolina. We deserve it.

McIlroy Gets New Agent
Bloomberg reports that U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy has left his agents at International Sports Management and joined Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management.
The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland, ranked No. 3 in the world, had been with ISM and manager Andrew "Chubby" Chandler since becoming a pro in 2007.
"Chubby and his team have played a very important role in my success to date," McIlroy said in a statement. "I have made great progress under their management and for that I will always be grateful.
"I am now keen to move onto the next stage of my career and I feel this will be facilitated by a fresh view and a new structure around me," McIlroy added.
ISM issued its own statement, which said in part, "We take great pride in the role ISM has played in guiding him successfully through his formative years as a professional. Under our management he has grown into an international figure and he leaves us as a major champion."
It's not the first time one of ISM's star players has left the fold for Horizon. McIlroy will join friend and fellow Ulsterman Graeme McDowell, the 2010 U.S. Open champion who made the change in agents in 2007, and Ryder Cup teammate Ross Fisher of England at the company.
Chandler's firm still manages three major winners in the past two years - Darren Clarke (2011 British Open), Charl Schwartzel (2011 Masters) and Louis Oosthuizen (2010 British Open) - along with No. 2-ranked Lee Westwood.
"Onward and upward," Chandler said. "We have had quite a brilliant year. The company is growing and adapting to ensure it stays at the forefront of golf and the business of managing players. We wish Rory every success."

Tax-Induced Dividend Capturing
Oliver Zhen Li
National University of Singapore
March 1, 2010
I examine how institutions and individuals trade shares around ex-dividend days. I predict that institutions are more likely than individuals to capture dividends for tax purposes by buying shares of a stock before it goes ex-dividend. I infer the directions of trades and the identities of traders using trade and quote data. I find that both institutions and individuals increase their net buying activities on the last cum-dividend days, especially in high dividend yield stocks; and that institutions buy significantly more shares than individuals. There is no excess buying or selling of shares on the ex-dividend days. Further analysis suggests that dividend capturing activities are likely heavily driven by corporations. Finally, cum- and ex-day investor trading intensity, especially that from institutions, impacts the ex-day pricing of dividend in the predicted direction. These results suggest that institutions trade around ex-dividend days consistent with their tax preference.

Online auctioneer eBay Inc. said Thursday that its fourth-quarter net income more than tripled from last year, flying in the face of traditional retailers who had a disappointing holiday season.
The San Jose, Calif.-based company earned $87 million, or 28 cents a share, for the quarter ended Dec. 31, up from $25.9 million, or 9 cents a share, a year ago.
Its revenue, which comes almost entirely from user fees, was $413.9 million, nearly double last year's $219.4 million.
"There is no question it was a strong report," said analyst Jeff Fieler of Bear Stearns. Neither Fieler nor his firm does business with eBay or owns the stock.
"The company has a lot of momentum."
The results beat a 24-cent-a-share prediction from analysts polled by IBES International.
Calling it "a very merry e-Christmas," chief executive Meg Whitman attributed eBay's success to the growing acceptance of electronic commerce for holiday buying, boosted by national television advertising.
The company in October bought PayPal -a payment system used to facilitate credit card transactions online - in a $1.25 billion deal.
PayPal brought in $72.6 million in fees last quarter, boosted by it being more widely displayed on eBay's site. The company continued to accumulate cash, which mounted to $1.1 billion at the end of December.
eBay officials said they will not issue a dividend to investors.
"We are not philosophically opposed to returning money to our stockholders," Chief Financial Officer Rajiv Dutta said, "but our position is that there is a certain amount of cash that gives us strategic flexibility, and we have not reached that yet."
He declined to say what that amount would be.
The eBay site finished the year with 61.7 million registered users, up from 42.4 million at the end of 2001. PayPal has 23 million users.

The Chicago Bears are 0-2 with starting quarterback Jay Cutler out of the lineup. Although they currently still own the NFC's top wild-card position with a 7-5 record, that hold is tenuous with feature running back Matt Forte set to miss at least the next two games.
"The playoffs are a reach for them right now, unless something drastic happens," said former Bears coach Mike Ditka, now an ESPN analyst.
A MRI has revealed that Forte has a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee, which he injured in the first quarter of Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Based on the grade, it's expected to keep Forte out for up to six weeks. With four games left in the regular season the injury comes with the strong possibility of Forte missing all of them.
Back in the 2009 season, Forte also battled a MCL sprain but was able to play through it for an entire 16-game schedule. That season he finished with 929 rushing yards and averaged a career-low 3.6 yards per carry.
This season, Forte is three yards shy of 1,000 yards rushing while averaging a whopping 4.9 yards per carry. With 1,487 yards from scrimmage, Forte is first in the NFL, ahead of the Baltimore Ravens' Ray Rice, Houston Texans' Arian Foster and Philadelphia Eagles' LeSean McCoy. That comprises 38 percent of the Bears' total offensive yardage.
So as much as the Bears miss Cutler, they will miss Forte more. Consider the next two opponents, the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. Each has been vulnerable to versatile all-purpose backs such as Forte.
"He's been nightmare matchup for defenses," Ditka said of Forte. "Without him and Cutler, the Bears have lost the two viable options of their offense. It leaves them looking for a fix and takes them out of their normal pattern. It can start making you have a lack of confidence as a team."
It was Chicago's game plan, with Cutler out, to lean heavily on their running game and defense to win the games. Save for a first half-ending Hail Mary touchdown by the Chiefs, the Bears couldn't have asked their defense to play much better.
After Forte left the game just nine minutes in, feeling the effects of a hit by Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson, the Bears got little from their backup backs. With Forte getting five carries for 12 yards, reserves Marion Barber and Kahlil Bell managed only 78 yards on 18 carries (4.3 yards per carry). More important, however, was the fact that neither Barber nor Bell factored in the passing game, where Forte has a team-high 52 receptions.
For a young, unproven quarterback such as Caleb Hanie, that takes away a critical security blanket. Making matters worse, is that the Bears' most reliable route-running wide receiver, Earl Bennett, has been held to one catch for just five yards in each of the past two games.
Few teams can recover from losing players such as Cutler and Forte, and it's especially a long shot for the Bears, who are stuck with big drop-offs at their positions.
Coach Lovie Smith has been clinging to the hopes Cutler may be able to return in time to save to their season, and expressed a similar sentiment regarding Forte's status in his Monday news conference.
Based on his diagnosis, Forte has a much better shot of playing again this season than Cutler does with a broken thumb, but that brings up a touchy subject. The Bears must be careful of rushing Forte back, and risking his long-term health, if by the time he comes back, there's little chance of making the postseason.
Forte, meanwhile, as a free agent to be in 2012, has been frustrated that Bears' officials have yet to reward him with a deserving long-term contract. A knee injury for a running back, even one that's deemed as not serious, isn't something with which to be messed.
In little more than two weeks, Chicago has gone from potential NFC challenger to scrambling to replace its most irreplaceable players. Although the pressure is on to win now, the Bears must be careful how they fight their current fate so they don't jeopardize their future.

Among the German-speaking authors in Switzerland who rose to international fame after the Second World War, playwright, novelist and essayist Friedrich Dürrenmatt is the most prominent. Already during his lifetime, his texts ranked high in the modernist canon for students, theater audiences and readers around the globe. His most celebrated plays, translated into virtually all written languages, remain in the repertoire of theaters worldwide to this day. Like his countryman Max Frisch with whom he has been often – and not always perceptively – compared, Dürrenmatt owed his tremendous early success to the stage and to this particular moment in history.

Leonardo da Vinci's Glider
Leonardo da Vinci's Glider was sketched along with many other flying machines and mechanisms that would power and control them. In the following pages i will recreate them from his original drawings and examine and animate them. First i will have a look at his plans for a glider. This is probably one of his most debated drawings, because at the time he sketched it, it might have been possible to build.
Although modern materials like aluminum and synthetic cloths were not available to him at the time, historians have recently attempted to build it using materials he would have had available and found that it could actually fly with a couple of small modifications. The main modification to his glider design being the addition of a rudder to stabilize the yaw, or left and right movement of the glider.
Here are his original sketches that led to the development of the glider, you can almost see his train of thought, this image shows and outstretched bat wing with its proportions noted –
He would often buy birds in local markets and study their wing structure, motion and shape, after studying he would set them free.
This next sketch is of a birds wing but this time he investigates the possibility of adding some mechanics to it which would allow it to move like a bird wing –
The following shows his sketch for the actual glider, you can see how he was inspired by the by wings above –
The device above shows where a man could actually lie into the machine. His waist would be inside the ring just below the wings,his hands would hold the two sticks coming down from the wings for directional control and a flapping motion would be powered by the man forcing his legs downwards with his feet inside the two spurs. You can see this in the small insert to the left of the main picture.
Here at LeonardoDaVincisInventions.com have created a one-off homage to Leonardo's Glider – a model that you can hang in your own home, available for an unbelievable 33USD. The model is almost 2 feet wide and casts some beautiful shadows if hung below a light. We have taken all of Leonardo's designs for flying machines and from them, we have created a beautiful work of art that we feel Leonardo himself would be proud of, learn more here, or click on the image below –
Here are my sketches of his original drawing, obviously they're not quite as good as the original, but then again, i'm not Leonardo da Vinci –
Although it is highly unlikely that he built this machine, it does leave a few things unanswered and some historians believe that he may have built it, watch the video below to see why they might think this –
Leonardo Da Vinci's Simple Glider design
Another design of his for a simpler glider has since been shown to work with the simple addition of a rudder. As you can see from the sketch below it is much simpler machine and therefore more likely to work , and as the man himself is quoted as saying "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" –
The video below is taken from a was a BBC documentary showing how Leonardo da Vinci's Glider could actually work while being built with materials and tools Leonardo would have had access to. The only addition to the original design is a rudder, as during previous attempts at flight the glider would try to turn sideways, the rudder stops this for happening –

European Commission Study Outlines Options for a New UNFCCC Market Mechanism
14 November 2012: The European Commission has released a study of design options for the new market mechanism (NMM) defined in the outcomes of the Durban Climate Conference, which took place in December 2011, under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The study examines options for NMM design elements, including: type of mechanism, deciding between sectoral trading or sectoral crediting; coverage; sector target or crediting thresholds; operational and incentive frameworks; requirements for data collection and monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV); compliance framework and penalties; governance; ways to manage the transition from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to the NMM; and finance of the NMM.
The study includes chapters on: approaches and methodology; selection and assessment of key design elements for the NMM; proposals for designing the NMM; emission reduction potential of the NMM; expert opinions on the NMM; and conclusions and recommendations. The study also discusses case studies of: steel in Brazil; power in Chile; refineries in Indonesia; power in South Africa; and cement in Viet Nam.
The report presents three proposed options for the NMM to maximize environmental integrity and ensure compatibility with the EU Emission Trading System (ETS), including: a government crediting system; a tradable intensity standard; and an installation-based emission trading system.

Yeah, i plan on getting a AR7200BX with BeastX for the Spektrum DX8 and using that in the 450. But it's not the 2801 TX. OR if it is, it's only because of the CF or another factor causing it. I think one of my other Walkera helicopters would experience the same thing using the same TX? At least these last few times it didn't cause a crash. The drop out was actually less than a second. But it was obvious to me. As a spectator you wouldn't have even noticed it. I'm going to just keep flying the 2702V and hope for the best till i can afford a uBeast or 7200BX.
SWEET DEAL!! with the TX man! I'm so happy for you! I didn't expect that! Though the one thing i have heard Walkera honors well is their TX warranties. Because that isn't the side that gets crashed
I didnt think about that .... Damn
Also you need to,take a pic of your x5 and send to pheonix, then when they add it i can fly your heli.
Look at it this way, the antenna is only 31 Cm. long you have two of them on your RX they recommend a 90 degree separation of them. They make a extension in length (but is coaxial shielded) so the user can mount one antenna in the vertical plane in a area that is not surrounded by carbon fiber, & the other antenna mounted in the horizontal plane. Supposedly this was done to prevent carbon fiber shadowing.
Carbon fiber is not lead, carbon fiber is conductor of electricity a poor one but it will still conduct. Lead will conduct also, but lead will shield RF signals if it is electrically grounded, I don't think a free standing piece of carbon fiber will shield RF unless you actually had it wired up with a positive & a negative wire for it to make a circuit.
Take the tail boom for instance, on my heli it is made out of aluminum not CF & it is held at both ends by plastic holders no way for that be connected electrically.
So the tail boom may impede some of the RF just because it is made of metal & I don't think 2.4 GHz. passes through metal too well but it will pass because the boom isn't electrically grounded which would capture the RF & send it to ground.
Short wave RF 2.4 GHz. will only transmit in a straight line & will not bounce off of the earth or the ionosphere like a long wave frequency will, plus it takes more power in wattage to transmit it compared to a lower frequency.
Our transmitters are only putting out <100mw that is less than a 1/10th of a watt which isn't much. My 78 Mhz. RC car TX put out the same wattage & it's effective range was around 800 feet & that was with a lower frequency than we run. I wouldn't trust my heli being more than 3-4 hundred feet from me, these TX's don't have the range.
So, I am happy also that Walkera is going to replace my transmitter, I need to check my mail & see if they sent a confirmation that it shipped. They are really quick when they have shipped to me before.

Anyway, if you can fly your V450D01 at 500m+ then you should be doing something else with your eyesight!
I love my trex 600 efl pro. Worth every penny. I dont know anything about the gryo, but sounds like a good deal.
Very funny with the eye sight distance, I was saying feet not meters.
Although we use to fly planes at a mile up & 2 miles away with 72 MHz. but those TX's put out 1 watt of RF power.

Yeah, 72MHz would carry much better than 2.4GHz for sure. I wish I knew more about how to work it out theoretically and then divide by say 2 to have a safety factor.
I did notice that when I flew around the Angel of the North (big steel sculpture) over summer that I completely lost contact with my quad as it flew through the shadow. I expected it so I had it moving at a pace before it entered to maximise the chance of it getting out the other side before meeting terafirma.
Just Google "frequency + distance calculator" it will ask you to enter the freq. & the power of the TX I am sure you will find something out there in this great world of the Internet.
The Angel of the North acted like a grounded metal grid which took in your TX RF & feed it to ground. Never fly near something like that.........
I once worked in a large main-frame computer facility room that was shielded with very fine copper mesh surrounding the room on all of its sides including the floor & grounded. The purpose was to prevent a satellite from receiving the electrical impulses which were data that was highly proprietary & for the Mfg. of U.S. submarines & that was only for the propeller of the sub. Man that is getting freaky!
Of course you know that what I just stated does not infringe upon any secrets, just observation of said facility, & what they Mfg.
I was surprised I was allowed in there with out a clearance, but I was there to repair the computer which we made.
I had since gotten clearances for tons of stuff, a job I would never do again, because it is such a pain in the Ass with all of the "the need to know" & who you can talk to or around.
But enough about that crap, go check out the Google thing & have a blast!
Yes, i know the theory behind it. But your discounting the variables. One of which is Walkera RX units obviously have a problem with CF shadowing. Or at least the 2702V did. The logical assumption would be that since they develop all their own electronics. ALL of their RX could be prone to this problem. Farther adding to the assumption is the constant changes they are making to the new Devo RX with the antennas. First two short antenna, then one long, now two long. Come on, they don't know what the hell they are doing and it's evident.
The invisible threat that pulls apart DNA, causing genetic disorders and cancer!
Try this link:
I found that roughly our TX's are good for about 200 meters.
GAH, Metric conversions. Why can't we all just get along!?
Okay, that makes sense. The typical unobstructed distance of most 2.4ghz things i have ever bought. Including cameras, phones, other crap. Actually listed right on the package "100m range" or "100m unobstructed range". Which is what? 300 feet right? So i'm positive, absolutely that it's MORE than 300 feet or one full size football field to the parking lot of the movie theater. Easily 500 feet, to the parking lot closest side of it to me anyway. Another 200 or so to the building. After doing a high speed loop i ended up basically over the cars. Now, depth perception is a bitch. But i'm pretty good with it and i've always passed those little ball tests with the circles on the ASVAB and things with great scores. So i could have been closer then it seemed. Maybe i was just being paranoid. But i'm sure the heli was over cars at that point. It looked like my v120 flying around up there.
I was giving the best case scenario on distance. But I do agree with you on Walkera is not sure of how to fix the problem.
Here you are in your video stating the temp. was 80 & with the wind blowing your fingers were getting cold. I think it was because you gripped the transmitter sticks so tight that you cut-off the blood flow to your fingers. Don't laugh, I have done that before!
BTW it F--king snowed here last night, we got about 3 inches, the previous day the temp. was down to 22 degrees Fahrenheit.
And you are cold?
Any Rf freq. that is in the 1.0 GHz range is a problem to all animals & humans health, plus ultra low freq. under water have been screwing with sea mammals & I am talking about the sonar barriers to detect enemy submarines & such. Why do you think that there have been so many beaching of whales & dolphins? They got there receivers blown out by the super loud "Pings" from the military.
Anyway, yeah. It's like 80 with direct sunlight and it's warm. If you were in the shade it would drop to about 50. Since the wind is blowing at 15-25mph the wind chill is significant with the actual air temperature being in the 60s. Florida weather is a math equation based on many variables.
Anyway, i suppose i should be more careful not to go so far out over the cars. I want to get AMA and try the fields out. But the truth is i will be buying more batteries for the X5 before i pay $70 for the AMA and possibly end up having to pay it again in January. I don't feel like researching how they play that game right now. Besides, AMA only insures their pilots at a AMA sanctioned field. Not my spot at the movies Since they wouldn't let me fly at the AMA field, i don't know if it's worth paying to fly at. Kind of stupid isn't it?

Is it a day that ends in "Y" still? If so you can bet Jim Irsay is talking even if he declared he wanted to keep it in-house. Fortunately he not only is talking to the media but also with Peyton Manning:
"We've talked more in recent weeks than we have in most Februarys," Irsay said Thursday night, via WRTV Indianapolis. "Peyton and I have talked and said that we'd like to just come to something that makes sense for both of us."
That doesn't mean much in terms of Manning's future with the team other than the door is at least slightly ajar. Irsay clearly would like to find a workable end-game for Peyton Manning that involves a ticker-tape parade for both parties and Manning's bust in Canton with a horseshoe on the side. Emotions aside, this is obviously a very complex situation involving not only a city's pride, a team's future and both a player's legacy and health. The fact that talks continue simply indicate that both sides understand those issues.

ARMSTRONG730 states the opinion that paralysis of an extremity beginning at an early age frequently results in disturbance of bone growth. Several experimental studies on dogs are mentioned; in these it was indicated that with growth the bone of a paralyzed limb continues to gain in mass, but at a rate lower than normal. He cites several experiments by other investigators, using rats and dogs in which the brachial plexus had been severed. Shortening of bone and atrophy occurred in all the experimental animals, to varied degrees. Armstrong's own experiment on large rats, also performed after the brachial plexus had been severed, indicated that (1) the growth in length of the radius was affected earlier, and to a greater degree, than that of the humerus; (2) the reduction of growth in diameter of the humerus was greater than the reduction of growth in length; (3) the growth in diameter

On Wednesday, Kate, 32, was at Bletchley Park, the secret wartime spy base brought to life in the movie Enigma starring Kate Winslet. The base's historic huts where the code breakers worked have been renovated to look like they did 70 years ago.
And Kate looked the part. She dressed in a 1940s-style navy pencil skirt and cream outfit by Alexander McQueen and sapphire and diamond earrings that once belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
Kate's paternal grandmother, Valerie Glassborow, and her twin sister, Mary, worked in Hut 6 as duty officers in the "Cover Management Y" team that identified interception sites and signals that were suitable for monitoring. They would then pass the information on to code breakers.
The pair had come from administrative jobs at the Foreign Office.
When Kate met the twins' friend Lady Marion Body, 90, she wanted to find out all she could about the role Valerie – who later married Kate's grandfather Peter – played.
"When I was a young girl, I did ask Granny about it," she told Lady Body.
But like many of the era, she didn't pass along all their stories of wartime work.
"Valerie died a few years ago and it was only fairly recently that people felt able to talk about it," Lady Body tells PEOPLE. "She'd go and tell her father."
A key moment was when Lady Body told Kate of how they learned that the Japanese wanted to surrender. "We sat there in complete silence for about a minute before we were told to get on with our work. The duchess didn't know that story."
And she says of Kate, "She's lovely, she's absolutely wonderful."
Family ResemblanceLady Body also shared how Kate reminded her of the duchess's late grandmother. "There is a likeness, in her hair color. And possibly her eyes."
Explaining the work, she adds, "The radio stations called Y stations, we were listening and they used to send in, I think every 15 minutes, the call signs they were picking up and we had to check they were doing the right thing.
"The duchess's grandmother worked on the same desk as me. I had been at secretarial college with those two girls so I knew them very well ... They were fun, when you have such a boring job you had to get on well. We knew exactly what we were doing – it was part of the war effort."
Elsewhere in the center, Kate donned headphones and got some experience code-breaking and met veterans who were recalling the old days in the main building's library.
Chief executive of Bletchley Park, Iain Stranden, told PEOPLE: "Some jobs were glamorous and some were less glamorous. But everyone had an important part to play."
The work at Bletchley played a crucial role in bringing the war to an earlier end than would have otherwise been the case. Some historians believe that it shortened the war by two years.
"We are hugely privileged to have the duchess here," Stranden said. "With her family connections it makes it even more special."
Stranden explained that someone at the center discovered Miss Glassborow had worked there and, when they asked for a member of the royal family to launch the newly restored huts, they thought Kate would be the "perfect fit."
"As far as we know, the family knew of the connection but it wasn't in the public domain," he said. "Like most of the veterans here, the family have kept quiet about it."
"She was the right person to come and do it," Lady Body added of the Duchess's appearance. "The connection with her grandmother set the seal on it."

Richard Kluger
$28.95, 352 pages
Few of us know the details of the treaties intended to cease fighting between Native peoples who inhabited the Northwest for millennia and white settlers who began inhabiting these lands in the first half of the 19th century. "The Bitter Waters of Medicine Creek: A Tragic Clash Between White and Native America," by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Kluger, gives us a close and fascinating look at one treaty, but one that resulted in violence on both sides largely because of its inadequacies, its inequities and perhaps its fraud.
This is essentially a story of a conflict between two leaders: Isaac I. Stevens, the first governor of the Washington Territory, and Leschi, an important member of the small Nisqually nation whose people lived on the south end of Puget Sound. Stevens was born in 1818 in Massachusetts, class valedictorian at West Point, a member of the select U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a wounded veteran of the Mexican War. He was an ambitious man, savvy enough at 35 to be appointed in 1853 by President Franklin Pierce as governor (and superintendent of Indian affairs) of the newly-formed Washington Territory. Less is known about Leschi: born after the turn of the century of a Yakama mother and a Nisqually father, he became known by his people, and with the traders of the Hudson's Bay Company, as a highly skilled horseman who was fair and helpful to the largely British fur traders.
Stevens' appearance, and the subsequent arrival of American settlers -- known by Native peoples as "Bostons" -- upset the delicate balance that existed between the Natives and the British. One of Stevens' first tasks was to establish treaties for the territory's many nations of Native peoples, or as Kluger writes: "repaying the natives for their generosity of spirit by unburdening them of their territory for a token gratitude." And in short, that's just what he did: in a six-week tour, the "nervy smooth-talking governor had dispossessed the natives of 20,000 square miles without firing a shot."
On Christmas Day in 1854 at Medicine Creek, Leschi and other Nisqually leaders met with Stevens to sign a treaty establishing a reservation of what turned out to be a small parcel of very poor land. But, as this book insists, there is considerable doubt whether Leschi actually signed it. What is known is that there was much dissatisfaction by the Nisqually about the treaty, which resulted in violent skirmishes between warriors and loosely formed white militia. Deaths occurred on both sides, and in the end Leschi was accused of murder. With precision and vigor, Kluger examines the circumstances of the crime and trials, if indeed it was truly a civil crime as it occurred during a time of war. The first trial ended in a hung jury, and at the second Leschi was convicted and subsequently executed.
Sadly, the book falters a bit. Despite his great sympathy to Leschi, Kluger sometimes uses tiresome cliched phrases associated with bad Westerns ("many moons ago," "modern Indian maiden," "palefaces"); and the book's epilogue, where Kluger informs us of the circumstances that led to the modern "retrial" in 2004 where the "historical court" exonerated Leschi's conviction, is dull. Leschi's story, however, is not, and "The Bitter Waters of Medicine Creek" is a painful reminder that our prosperous present is built on a shadowy past.
-- Jim Carmin

ABC Dog Training Program Student of the Month – March 2013
Debbie Gravitt
Debbie Gravitt lives in Galva, Ill., a small town of 2,300 people. She teaches dog training at the Marquis Pet Resort and Spa in Bishop Hill, a neighboring town about 8 miles away. Debbie worked for a veterinary clinic and after taking her puppy through a training class there, she fell in love with the training aspect. She still works part time for the veterinary clinic and also does part-time work for the resort in its daycare room.
- How and when did you know you'd be a success in the pet industry?
I think the word success means different things to different people. I don't make enough money to support my family; however, I am making a difference in a lot of people's lives who take my class and that, to me, is being a success. When I see an owner and her dog have that "aha" moment and everything clicks into place; that is worth more than the money.
- During your volunteer hours, which pet story touched you the most?
It was Joey, an abused Jack Russell who had many issues. Severe separation anxiety would cause him to make a mess in his crate and occasionally even break out of it. He managed to knock the air conditioner unit out of window and escape. He was a little bundle of nerves that was bouncing of the walls. With some patience and the use of a Thundershirt, DAP and lots of slow, hard work, we were able to get him over the worst anxiety and he was adopted into a great home.
- What has been your most rewarding moment as a dog trainer?
Every graduation is the most rewarding. I love to see how after 5 weeks these dogs and their owners have completely bonded and are now working as a unit and learning together instead of against each other.
- What was your experience like in the ABC Dog Obedience Program?
I had an amazing experience with ABC. My instructors were always on hand to answer any questions I had or explain something in more detail to me.
- How has your experience been since becoming an ABC Certified Dog Trainer?
I feel very knowledgeable when it comes to breed characteristics and the different training techniques. I made several new friends in the program, which has been beneficial as we first were study buddies and now we can discuss our experiences and classes together. I would highly recommend this program to anyone considering becoming a certified dog trainer.

John Bradley and Agricenter International seem like a perfect match for each other.
The agricultural research and education center in Memphis is focusing more of its on-farm research to cutting edge technologies involving bioenergy, crop traits and precision agriculture. And Bradley, the famed no-till pioneer, feels most comfortable going places where few have been.
Of course, Bradley, hired late last year to replace Jamie Jenkins as the facilityŌĆÖs director of research, has a regular job at the Agricenter too ŌĆö to solicit, plant and complete on-farm research trials with southern field crops.
But the biofuel boom ŌĆ£is an opportunity for us to become a leader,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£Like at Milan (where Bradley developed the Milan No-Till Field Day), you have to figure out what you do best and focus on that. The people in the past have done a wonderful job here at Agricenter, but we have an opportunity now to carve our future out, where we want to be five to 10 years down the road.ŌĆØ
BradleyŌĆÖs goal is to plant potential biofuel crops and evaluate them for agronomic traits and economic feasibility. ŌĆ£How we harvest and transport biofuel feedstocks economically is important, too. Then weŌĆÖll look at the cost of production versus other crops. Next year and probably as early as this fall, weŌĆÖll be moving more into the bioenergy field. WeŌĆÖre not going to convert Agricenter into bioenergy crops, but we are going to have that as a focus.ŌĆØ
Agricultural technology ŌĆö from biotechnology to precision agriculture ŌĆö also figures to be a large part of AgricenterŌĆÖs draw for farmers. With prospects for continued consolidation in agricultureŌĆÖs future, Bradley sees fewer farmers working more land ŌĆ£which means labor is going to continue to be a big issue and we have to replace labor with technology.ŌĆØ
Bradley will introduce precision agriculture to the farm, using technology such as the Greenseeker (a sensor which can be mounted on a sprayer) to create GPS maps of plant biomass for managing crops. ŌĆ£Rather than only controlling weeds and spraying bugs, we need to look more at plant health issues.ŌĆØ
Private industry research has blossomed in recent years at the Agricenter and can provide farmers a rare look at whatŌĆÖs new. ŌĆ£A lot of companies donŌĆÖt have research land in the Delta anymore,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre coming here and renting land, instead of dealing with a lot of overhead. Research comes right out of the laboratory into an applied research plot. ItŌĆÖs neat to be involved in the cutting edge products coming down the pipeline.ŌĆØ
Farmer access to research information at Agricenter is crucial, noted Bradley. At Milan, BradleyŌĆÖs opening of the farmŌĆÖs research to farmers turned the once unusual practice of no-till into a widely accepted concept and in the process created one of the pre-eminent field days in the country.
ŌĆ£We have a lot of good experiment stations in the United States and Southeast. But sometimes they donŌĆÖt always know how to invite people on the station to show them what theyŌĆÖre doing. TheyŌĆÖre doing good research, but you have to work with industry and the media to promote it and get your researchers to tell the story of what theyŌĆÖre doing. Farmers want to know where the extra dollars the companies spend on research go.ŌĆØ
The latter is the idea behind the AgTechnology Field Day, which will be held at the Agricenter, on Thursday, July 19, from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Fifteen leading agricultural companies will demonstrate their latest technology in cotton, corn, soybeans and rice. Official variety trials will also be on display. (See more on the field day in accompanying sidebar).
Bradley didnŌĆÖt have a lot of time to prepare for this growing season at Agricenter, having been on the job less than six months. He spent much of the first few months getting used to the lay of the land and learning the specific histories of each field.
ŌĆ£Everybody has been real helpful. WeŌĆÖve maintained if not increased the number of research plots weŌĆÖve taken on. IŌĆÖm very confident and comfortable with the job, but some days you wonder if you can get it all done. One challenge is bringing inputs into the Agricenter. Seed and fertilizer has to come from farm supply companies more than 35 miles away.ŌĆØ
In keeping with BradleyŌĆÖs long-time dedication to conservation-tillage, about a third of the cropland at the Agricenter is now no-till, which will help build organic matter on the farm. Bradley says winter wheat will likely be planted on cropland this fall.
There are almost 900,000 people in the urban area surrounding the Agricenter, a much different landscape than what Bradley dealt with at Milan. Over 90,000 automobiles pass by Agricenter every day, making it one of the most visible research farms in the world.
Being in the public eye ŌĆ£can mean that people see a different use for land other than agriculture. But we want to keep the core of Agricenter as a research center.ŌĆØ
Bradley will have an ongoing job as a spokesman for the facility, along with Agricenter president John Charles Wilson, a former cotton producer from west Tennessee. Everything matters when the general public is this close, from the appearance of the farm to its profit margin to questions about what the farm does.
ŌĆ£I welcome the questions,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£Anytime someone from the general public can have a better understanding of what agriculture is about, genetic engineering or precision agriculture, I want to exchange their concerns.ŌĆØ
The land and buildings at Agricenter are owned by Shelby County, but Agricenter is privately operated by a 30-member board of directors. Another oversight body is the Agricenter Commission appointed by the Memphis mayorŌĆÖs office.

Britain should be "more confident" about its status as a Christian country, David Cameron has said.
The prime minister urged Britons to be "more evangelical about a faith that compels us to get out there and make a difference to people's lives".
In his second attempt at "doing God" in less than a fortnight, the prime minister spoke about his own relationships with religion, saying that he had "felt at first hand the healing power of the church's pastoral care".
Last week, in a speech to Christian leaders at Downing Street, he promised to be God's man in Whitehall and

In reply
We published 2 original articles in the July 24, 2000 issue of theArchives of Internal Medicine.1,2 Each original article reports the findings of a double-blind randomized clinical trial. These 2 studies had identical in-hospital prophylaxis regimens.
The article comparing long-term dalteparin therapy with short-term in-hospital warfarin therapy and out-of-hospital placebo in patients who had undergone hip arthroplasty2 was designed to determine the need for out-of-hospital prophylaxis in Canada and the United States, not the superiority of dalteparin to warfarin therapy. Warfarin therapy was not continued out of hospital. The separate companion article,1 clearly documents the superiority of in-hospital-prophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in close proximity to surgery vs in-hospital warfarin therapy. We had hypothesized prior to carrying out each of these studies that in-hospital LMWH prophylaxis in close proximity to surgery would be superior to in-hospital warfarin prophylaxis; accordingly, we deleted the active therapy out of hospital, which seemed likely to be less effective, and used placebo for our out-of-hospital study.2

Discharge Instructions: Halo Ring and Vest Brace
Discharge Instructions: Using a Halo Ring and Vest Brace
You are going home with a halo ring and vest brace in place. A halo ring and vest brace are used to keep your head and neck from moving after a neck fracture or surgery. It consists of 3 parts:
A vest that you wear on your chest
A lightweight metal ring, or halo, that is fastened to your head with 4 pins
Four rods that extend from the vest and attach to the ring
The halo does for your neck what a cast does for a broken arm. Wearing a halo ring and vest brace means that you can go home to heal and move about, rather than staying in bed or in the hospital while your neck heals. Getting used to the halo ring and vest brace takes time, but you'll adjust. You will be wearing the device for about 12 weeks. Here's what you need to know about home care.
Skin and Hair Care
Clean the skin around the pins twice a day. Soak a Q-tip or cotton ball with soap and water to clean around the pin.
Don't use creams, lotions, or antiseptics unless the doctor says it's okay.
Check the skin under the vest brace daily. Don't use soap, lotion, or powder under the vest. These items can irritate your skin.
Ask a friend or family member to help you shampoo your hair. Use mild soap.
Don't dye your hair or use hair sprays.
The Vest
Bathe in a bathtub, but keep the water below the level of your vest. Don't get the vest brace wet.
Wear a cotton T-shirt under the vest to avoid irritation. You will need to cut or stretch the T-shirt so that it will fit over the halo.
Wear blouses or shirts that button up the front. They should be 1 to 2 sizes larger than you normally wear so they can fit over the vest.
Be active, but use good judgment. Don't ride a bike or skateboard. Your balance will be off.
Bend over slightly when entering doorways.
Turn your back and lower yourself carefully to get into cars. Small cars will be difficult for you to get in and out of.
Don't jump, run, or lift anything heavier than 10 pounds.
Avoid crowds or situations where you might be shoved or jostled.
Stop any activity that makes your neck hurt.
Sleep in any position that makes you comfortable.
Remember to be careful when you get out of bed. Log-roll to the edge of the bed. Drop your legs to the floor and use your arm to raise your upper body slowly.
Ask your doctor when you can return to work. You may not be able to work while you are wearing your halo ring and vest brace.
Make a follow-up appointment as directed by our staff.
When to Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:

That's right- the Hotel Missoni Edinburgh, the sexy hotel from the Milan-based fashion house, located on George IV Bridge in Edinburgh's Old Town. As explained by The Scotsman, "The awards are decided by a poll of thousands of international travel agents and other industry professionals." The Edinburgh property was the first for the new brand of Missoni hotels. Next to open is the highly-anticipated Hotel Missoni Kuwait, followed by hotels in Cape Town, Oman and Brazil. Listed in Condé Nast Traveler's Hot List 2010, the Hotel Missoni Edinburgh is a glamorous destination infused with Missoni's signature style.

With his team down 3-0 going into the third period, you have to assume Adam Oates fired his troops up with an inspirational pep talk during the second intermission.
However, with the Capitals likely spitting nails and farting lightning bolts to begin the period, it was Ryan Callahan just 13 seconds into the final frame, who made sure there would be no Maple Leaf like collapse for the Rangers by icing the game by stealing the puck and then just undressing Braden Holtby with this move…
…what's funny is that I was watching Game 7 with a few of my boys and before the third period began one of them asked if there was any chance the Rangers could just make it 4-0 so that we could finally have a relatively stress free period. And my answer literally 10 seconds before the Callahan goal was "there's a better chance of this becoming a 3-2 game than a 4-0 one." You're welcome for the reverse mush.
…what a huge goal by Callahan as he put to bed any notion the Capitals might have had that they were coming back in this game. It's what captain's do in the big spot.
Here's Callahan after the game…

Deep frying in olive oil is usually done in Southern Spain&Portugal.
I sauté fish (especially salmon) in olive oil all the time. You can even make marinades for fish using olive oil. Just be mindful of the lower smoke point of olive oil compared to vegetable/peanut oil. Then again, fish cooks so quickly that you don't even need to worry about the temperature of the oil. Fry and enjoy!
June is a trusted source on General Cooking.
I do it all the time. The answer is yes, you can. Please don't overcook the fish, though. If it flakes, it's overcooked!
pierino is a trusted source on General Cooking and Tough Love.
In fact "poaching" fish in olive oil works really well too if its a firm fleshed fish, like say halibut or tuna.

Just a quick note - completed the allergy testing. Had an allergic response to about 90% of the test items. Too many to include all of them in the immunotherapy so the mix will be optimized for the worst offenders. Seems that means that cat and dog allergies are not to be included - and they aren't too bad anyway according to the test result. Once my overall allergy status improves mild allergies may also resolve on their own. The good news is that allergens that used to be a major issue for me - like dust mites - seem to be no longer an issue. I had ZERO allergic reaction to the dust mite extract. So, that indicates that the previous course of immunotherapy that I had 20-25 years ago did help long term. Hopeful for this new course to be even more effective.
Once again, the primal diet and iodine therapy seem to be helping with the allergy symptoms. And, the next step is to be tested for food allergies so that I can tweak the primal diet that way as well.

Micksy Takes Two Golds At WVU Tournament
Dec. 7, 2002
Duquesne University's women's track and field squad opened the 2002-03 campaign with two gold and a total of eight medals in the field events at the West Virginia University Holiday Classic Saturday in the WVU Shell Building. The Dukes swept all three medals in the triple jump.
Sophomore Kristen Micsky (Greenville, PA / Reynolds) picked up gold medals in the long and triple jump events with jumps of 5.46 and 11.21 meters respectively. The soph also took a silver medal in the long jump event.
Junior Shea McMillan (Pittsburgh, PA / Mt. Lebanon) followed Micsky with silvers in the long jump and triple jump with efforts just 0.06 meters behind DU's first placer. Sophomore Melissa Blackburn (Wexford, PA / North Allegheny) grabbed the Dukes' fourth silver in the shot put competition.
Freshman Kerri Durica (West Mifflin, PA / West Mifflin) completed Duquesne's sweep in the triple jump competition with a third place finish of 10.97 meters while sophomore Sarah Fetterman (Elysburg, PA / Southern Columbia) also grabbed a silver in her event, the pole vault.
Duquesne competed with teams from host West Virginia, Frostburg, Marshall, Robert Morris and Concord as well as several unattached athletes.
In field events, the Dukes were led by Nicole Wiley (New Castle, DE / Padua Academy) in the 60 meter hurdles and Julie Tyo (West Suffield, CT / Suffield) in the 500 meter race, both finishing fourth in their events.
And in the men's competition, a club event for the Dukes, sophomore Chuck Moran (Monroeville, PA / Gateway) grabbed the silver medal in the weight throw with a toss of 14.59 meters.
Duquesne is off until after the first of the year when they will compete in the Robert Morris University Invitational on Sunday, January 19, 2003.

President Obama could learn from Michael Corleone. When Corleone wanted a license in Las Vegas a senator asked him for a bribe. Corleone said: Here's my offer senator. NOTHING!! And I'd appreciate if you would pay for the license. The senator laughed. The next day he found a dead prostitute in his bed. He gave in right away.
President Obama should say to the Republicans: Here's my offer. NOTHING!! And I'd appreciate some stimulus money!
so what made you think of prostitutes?
Just checking the last eschatological result of the GOP primary and "the south" think you may be doing a very important misconception.
Last week read that Obama should choose for defense - the more expensive and more harmful for your standard middle class by your banks- a moderate one from the GOP to understand the Michael equivalents are within my dear GRAND OLD PARTY.
Mr Obama surely would apply much better in the role of Fredo.
(Long Ron Paul & Godfather specialist too)
and where you gonna get that many dead prostitutes?
Ohio they die of boredom
The fiscal cliff is the equivalent of dead prostitutes in this case. Political neogotiating is not as dramatic as Mafia neogotiating.

- 4 / 4 Interview with Eric June 2012
In 1988, 1927 was a truly Australian music phenomenon, selling more than 500,000 copies of their debut album, ...ISH. It contained numerous hit singles and the band built a solid career around multiple sold out shows throughout Australia and the world. ...ISH is undoubtedly a classic Australian album.
Garry Frost, guitarist and keyboardist, had left Moving Pictures in 1984, after their second album, and was writing some songs in his Sydney home studio late in 1986. He was watching the Nine Networks variety programme Hey Hey It's Saturday "Red Faces" when Erik Weiderman appeared and performed a cover of the Police's "Roxanne". Garry Frost drove 880kms to Melbourne to recruit Weiderman on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards. The band became one of nthe most recognizable acts of its era and released several albums and further hit singles that spanned 6 years.
20 years on and 1927 have burst back on the scene. Through Alberts ...ISH was re-mastered and released September 2009 for the first time digitally. On it's release on iTunes, the album peaked at #10 confirming the band's popularity remains as strong today. This was also evident with the flow through of sell-out shows across the country.
Featuring hit singles"That's When I Think Of You", "If I Could", You'll Never Know" and "Compulsory Hero", ..ISH, produced by Charles Fisher, remains one of the highest selling debut albums ever by an Australian band.
Erik still possesses one of the best voices in Australian rock music and together with his band members is currently working on new material for 1927.
