iPhone 4S review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Product Reviews
After over a year, Apple has released the follow-up to the iPhone 4, and its called the iPhone 4S. What do you do with your phone? If you're like most Americans, you make some calls, take some photos, and send some texts. Maybe you kill time with some games, check Facebook or Twitter, and look things up on the Web. If that's you, then the iPhone 4S ($199-$399 with contract on Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T) is your phone: it's the best cameraphone in the US, the fastest Web-browsing phone, and one that has finally licked the iPhone's calling problems. It's so good, that it's our current Editors' Choice on Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T.

iOS 5 review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Software
Edit: Be sure to check out our iPhone 4S review as well!
Back in June, I detailed the nine features that I wanted Apple to include in iOS 5—features that would fix obvious OS flaws and expand upon its already rock-solid foundation. Days later, at WWDC 2011, Apple revealed a handful of the "200 new features" that would comprise Cupertino's latest mobile operating system—many of which were what I and droves of other iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users had desired for some time. Fast forward to today: iOS 5 is now here, and it surpasses iOS 4 with its overhauled alerts and notification system, wireless syncing, the ability for users to activate iPads without first connecting them to a Mac or PC, and many other much-welcomed features. No operating system—be it mobile or desktop—is without flaws, but Apple iOS 5 manages to keep the dings to a minimum and retains its place as the best phone and tablet operating system. Note: iOS 5 is only compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch 3rd Generation, iPod touch 4th gen, iPad, and iPad 2.
Now, let's get to the review, shall we?

Apple sells over 1 million iPhone 4S pre-orders in 24 hours
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds
This morning Apple announced that it had sold over 1 million iPhone 4S smartphones within the first 24 hours that they were available for pre-order. No matter how you look at it, this is a monstrous number, and crushes last year's iPhone 4 figures, which were "only" 600,000 on the first day. These 1 million pre-orders obviously don't include all the folks who'll be lining up at Apple, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint locations this Friday to buy the iPhone 4S directly. The device goes on sale at retail locations at 8:00 am on October 14th.
This is a shout-out to all the media who were calling the iPhone 4S underwhelming and disappointing--apparently over a million consumers disagree.

Apple just announced that iOS 5 will be released, as a free download, on October 12th. The update will be available for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, and third- and fourth-generation iPod touch!
Logitech Harmony Link turns iOS and Android devices into full-fledged remote controls
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, Home Entertainment
Logitech is releasing a new product that will turn users' iPads into Harmony remotes by Halloween. The Logitech Harmony Link is the company's newest Harmony remote product, but it's not a device you hold and manipulate to control your home theater. It's a wireless device that can connect to your iPad, iPhone, or Android smartphone to let it function as a universal remote.
The Harmony Link is a disc-shaped device you place near your home theater to control all your devices. It functions as an infrared blaster, sending remote commands to your HDTV, Blu-ray player, set-top box, or compatible game console. The device itself can send infrared commands, and it comes with an infrared blaster so you can keep it in a cabinet with your other home theater devices and still send commands to your HDTV. It then connects to your Wi-Fi network, and can be controlled by any iOS device or Android smartphone through the Harmony Link app.

Turntable.fm now available on the iPhone
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Social Networking, New Apps, Free Apps
Turntable.fm is having a good week. The music streaming site on Tuesday released its iPhone app and confirmed that it has raised $7 million in funding.
It had been rumored that an iOS version of the popular service was headed to the App Store this week, and as expected, the app mimics the Web-based experience of Turntable, allowing you to do the same things on your mobile phone that you could do online. For example you can access all of the same rooms where five DJs take turns bumping the songs of their choice as well as rate those tracks as "lame" or "awesome."
From the app, you can also make new rooms and start DJing in existing ones. The app has been well received for the most part, but VentureBeat pointed out that it moves a little bit slower than the desktop version. However, it noted that it works well over 3G, which rumored to be an issue for the app during its testing phase.

For decades, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, better known as OPEC, has wielded extraordinary power over the global oil market. The organization, which consists of 12 member countries, accounts for roughly 40% of total global oil production and controls a little over 80% of the world's oil reserves.
But the recent surge in non-OPEC oil supplies, led by the North American shale oil boom, and the risk of a downturn in the global economy pose significant threats to the cartel's continued prosperity. Let's take a closer look.
Growth in non-OPEC supplies
Thanks to the application of advanced drilling techniques, North American oil producers have rapidly increased production of crude oil from unconventional shale plays, such as Texas' Eagle Ford shale and North Dakota's Bakken shale.
For instance, Kodiak Oil & Gas (UNKNOWN: KOG.DL ) , an oil producer with operations located almost exclusively in the Bakken, has grown its production by a 168% compounded annual rate since 2010, while Halcon Resources (NYSE: HK ) , another producer with significant operations in the Bakken, managed to grow oil production last year by a staggering 173.2%.
Meanwhile, in the Eagle Ford shale, companies such as Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK ) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP ) continue to report similarly impressive growth in output. In the second quarter, Chesapeake reported a remarkable 135% year-over-year increase in Eagle Ford production to 85,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, while Conoco almost doubled its output from the play to 121,000 barrels per day.
Non-OPEC vs. OPEC supplies
It should come as no surprise, then, that U.S. crude oil production is expected to grow by 830,000 barrels a day, or 8.1%, to 11 million barrels a day next year, according to the International Energy Agency. Similarly, non-OPEC oil production is forecast to rise by 1.7 million barrels a day next year to 56.4 million barrels a day, an increase of 300,000 barrels a day from the agency's previous forecast.
By contrast, OPEC oil production fell by 645,000 barrels a day last month to less than 30 million barrels a day, the cartel's lowest level of production in nearly two years. Sharp decreases in output from Libya and Iraq led the overall production decline, even as Saudi Arabia -- the organization's largest producer -- ramped up production to more than 10 million barrels a day for the third month in a row.
Risk of weaker global economy
In addition to supply-side issues caused by the North American shale boom and increasing non-OPEC supply elsewhere, there is another major risk that has OPEC concerned: a weaker global economy that could reduce global demand for oil.
Though OPEC forecasts global economic growth to rise by about half a percent next year, it remains cautious because of unresolved issues in Europe's labor market, slowing growth in China and India, and the possibility that the Federal Reserve will taper its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program.
Because of these and other concerns, the International Energy Agency recently reduced its forecast for global oil demand next year by about 100,000 barrels a day. The agency now expects global demand to rise by just 1.1 million barrels a day, or 1.2%, to 92 million barrels a day in 2014.
The bottom line
Though OPEC has recognized the threat of surging non-OPEC oil supplies, a downturn in the global economy is perhaps the biggest threat facing the cartel. If global oil demand falls, leading to a sharp decline in its price, it will almost certainly deal a blow to OPEC, as well as other large oil exporters.
Not only would it worsen their trade balances, but it could also put member countries' national budgets under tremendous stress since many of them depend on oil prices around $100 a barrel to keep their budgets balanced and to sustain large welfare payments to their citizens.
OPEC's worst nightmare
While surging North American oil supply is a concern for OPEC, it's great news for one energy company. Imagine a company that rents a very specific and valuable piece of machinery for $41,000 per hour. (That's almost as much as the average American makes in a year!) And Warren Buffett is so confident in this company's can't-live-without-it business model, he just loaded up on 8.8 million shares. An exclusive, brand-new Motley Fool report reveals the company we're calling OPEC's Worst Nightmare. Just click here to uncover the name of this industry-leading stock, and join Buffett in his quest for a veritable landslide of profits!

Seared Venison Loin and Wild Mushroom Stew with Olive-Oil Mashed Potatoes
Chef Cartwright uses fresh wild mushrooms and tender, farm-raised venison. Home cooks may wish to substitute a mixture of fresh and dried mushrooms and beef tenderloin for these somewhat difficult-to-locate ingredients. As long as the stock that forms the foundation of the sauce is the real thing — no canned soup! – the results will be worthy of four stars.
Yield: 4 servings
- 1 2-pound venison loin (thin outer skin and all fat removed), or substitute 2-pound length of beef tenderloin
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 pound fresh porcini mushrooms or the same amount of white mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon dry white wine
- 1 1/2 cups venison or beef stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- (1 ounce dried porcini or cepes, if using white mushrooms)
- 1/2 pound Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into small dice
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives

This review is from: Fractal Design Define R4 Black Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case
Pros: I'd love to give this a 5 star compared to all the other cases I've been purchasing for PC builds for my customers, but I just have to write this review to indicate my issue with the design of how the power button was implemented. This is a very good case with great ventilation and it is quiet. I like having the 3.0 USB ports readily available up front as well.
Cons: The issue: the power button is at the leading edge of the top of the case. My particular case has a very sensitive button and just brushing against it turned the PC off. I use it exclusively for my radio broadcast and I've accidentally shut it down three times myself, and the *%^* cat walked across it a few times as well which consequently shut it down. The PC has since moved (and the button covered for protection). Recommendation -- Put the power button on the front face!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Fractal Design Arc Mini Black High Performance PC Computer Case w/ USB 3.0 and 3 Fractal Design Silent Fans
Pros: Nice case - quiet and easy to work with. Great air flow - proof is in the fact I have to clean the screens often and my house is not that dirty!
Cons: Power button is not in a good place - IMO. I've had the PC inadvertently shutdown by something either falling on it, barely touching it by hand/finger, or the cat walking across it. Very sensitive to the touch.READ FULL REVIEW

As the NFL season reaches the end of the first quarter, it's time to reflect on the first four weeks of the season and grade each team as they get ready for their midterm exams.
Plenty of drama has taken place already in 2011 from devastating injuries to triumphant returns, surprise teams to overrated clubs and lots more.
These first-quarter grades will be issued based on the following criteria: preseason expectations, free-agent acquisitions, personnel moves, strength of schedule and play on the field.
So which teams are passing with flying colors and which teams need to hit the books for fear of flunking out?
Here are the 2011 NFL first-quarter report cards:

I really don't know what to say!
I think I can sum it up in one word: Solid.
Everything about the system is solid. The brand new control scheme, the system itself, the interface. I have yet to find anthing about this thing that isn't executed perfectly. Is it a revolution? Nawww, but it sure is a LOT of fun.
The system itself is very attractive. With the stand, it's about half the size of an Old-School PS3. It's a pleasant gray box with a power button and a slot drive attached to a remote sensor. That's all you need, that's all you see.
That's because hidden under flip top panels are a bunch of other neat stuff: Flip up the top and you've got your GameCube controller and memory card ports. Flip out the front and you've got your Flash Memory bay. There's also a couple of USB ports hidden away, so you can attach your digital camera or Camera Cell-Phone (and I'm sure, other things in the future). These are all solid features the Wii didn't need, but it has.
It comes with 1 Wii remote and 1 Wii Nunchuck. These also feel solid. The Wii remote comes with 2 AA batteries (These last a LONG Time, I've been playing for more than 10 hours and the battery monitor hasn't moved). The Nunchuck is powered by the remote itself. The button layout, although non-standard, becomes second nature in only a few minutes. The layout is actually VERY comfortable, your fingers gently rest on all the buttons you would need.
I want to go on record saying the Wii controller is NOT a gimmick. It is the Wii's strongest selling point. The controller is more than capable of playing all your standard game genre's. It's actually versatile as all hell.
On to the interface. Ummm.... point and click. It's broken up into big buttons called Channels, just aim your Wii Remote cursor, press the A button (convienently placed below your thumb) and you're good to go. The built in channels are the Game Channel (of course, play your Wii and Gamecube games), the Mii Channel (a way to create little avatars, currently used by Wii Sports), the Photo Channel (got a digital camera? Plug your photos in here.), Wii news and Wii Forecast (little news channels, if you're hooked up to the internet), and the Wii shop (also for the internet, used to buy classic games and new Wii channels). There's also a calendar and message board (which can be accessed by your friends online) and system settings.
All in all, a very impressive package. It seems to integrate into any lifestyle well and in a positive way. If you're a hardcore gamer, the ne controller and Nintendo games are right up your alley. If you're a Mom, the system keeps track of what your kids are doing and for how long, you can leave them messages plus it's easier to use than a computer. If your neither, the Wii allows you to easily connect with other Wii users, it's a place to display and share your digital photos, and (after you buy the Web Channel) can be a easy way to surf the web. With everything integrated, I think everyone can find Something they like about it.
Now a quick review of Wii Sports:
It's a good reason to have your friends buy their own Wii remotes (although, for a lot of the games you can just pass a single remote around). They're just good party games, where you can hang out, and maybe play some golf, or bowling (by far my favorite). The graphics are simple, attractive and clean.
It's also got some single player games, like Wii fitness and training. They're for the people without any friends around, that want to PWN them when they come over to play again.
Wii Sports, a little more than a tech demo, not really a fully fledged game. It's a great way to show off your Wii and have a laid back night with some friends.
Coming tomorrow, My review of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princesss. It's good, but...how good?

A decision by the Weld Central Re-3J School District Board of Education to dismiss a beloved principal at the end of the year outraged teachers, parents and students, many of whom walked out of class Thursday until district officials called Weld County Sheriff's deputies to Weld Central High School in Keenesburg.
Students said the deputies forced them to return to class; sheriff's deputies said they were on hand to keep the peace and never threatened anyone with arrest.
The students voiced their displeasure with the board's 3-2 vote to not renew Donald Frenzen's contract by staging a sit-in. By the time deputies arrived, the students had collected more than $300 to order out for pizza because they planned to be there for the day.
"They locked the school," said junior Courtney Beauregard, who was one of four students who started the protest. "When the other kids returned with the pizza they had to sit outside for 20 minutes before they would let them in. Then they threatened to press criminal charges against us if we didn't go back to class."
Courtney said after she and three of her friends learned Frenzen wouldn't be back next year, they decided to protest by sitting in the common area of the school and refusing to go to class. Soon after, dozens of other students joined them until most of the students in the school were there.
Re-3J superintendent Susie Townsend declined to comment on Frenzen or the decision to summon sheriff's deputies. But she released a statement by email that said only that the school board decided not to renew Frenzen's contract.
"This is a personnel matter and is considered confidential," the email said.
As for the sit-in, she said only: "Today, students wanted an opportunity to speak in support of the principal. They gathered in the commons areas to do so. Students are now back in class completing their last day for this school year."
Sheriff's spokesman Tim Schwartz said officers were called to the school because of a potential problem, but the supervisor on duty advised the officers that they were there simply to keep the peace.
Schwartz said deputies did not threaten anyone with arrest. He said that according to one deputy, a student asked what could happen if they didn't go back to class. The deputy told her if the principal wanted them off the property and they didn't leave voluntarily they could be arrested for trespassing.
"Never did they threaten to arrest anybody or ask anybody to leave," Schwartz said. "They were not unruly and not causing problems. They were very quiet, and on our part this was a non-event."
Schwartz also said deputies did not lock anyone out of the building and that some of the doors automatically lock because of the massacre at Columbine High School. He said the students were let in when school officials noticed they were there.
Re-3J board president Candace Veldhuizen refused to comment on the uproar. Veldhuizen, vice president Deb Gustafson and secretary Cindy Hesse all voted not to renew the contract. Bryan Haffner and David Navarro voted to retain Frenzen.
About 15 teachers presented a statement to the school board Wednesday that expressed support for the principal; it was signed by most of the teachers at the school. They spoke out again Thursday in support of Frenzen, saying he has a great rapport with students and the board made a mistake not returning the six-year administrator. Jerry Shea, who has taught at the school for more than 30 years, said Frenzen was the right person for the job.
"While, of course, no person is irreplaceable, there are some individuals that are particularly suited to certain stations in life," Shea said. "Don Frenzen's heart has never left the classroom as a teacher or the field of play as a coach. He understands high school students. I have seen him handle his duties with competence, judgment and humor. I have not always agreed with his decisions. Nevertheless, his door has always been open to listen, to encourage, collaborate and, on occasion, correct."
Teacher Debra Starks said Frenzen understands the workings of a high school and the intricacies that make it unique and different from an elementary school, a junior high school or middle school.
"He is a principal who advocates for academic excellence," she said. "He advocates for student needs. He advocates and encourages his staff. Successful administrators are visible administrators and Don Frenzen's presence is extremely important at our school."
Frenzen did not immediately return phone calls from The Tribune.
Courtney said students like and respect Frenzen and are very upset he won't be returning. They, and many of their parents, planned to camp out at the administration office Thursday night in protest again.
"He helps the students," Courtney said. "He doesn't get mad at us; he helps us understand. And he is very understanding with us."
Another veteran teacher and coach at the school said he was proud of the students for the way they responded.
"We felt strongly that Don was good for our kids," said Greg Perrin, who has taught social studies at the school for 10 years. "We spoke to the school board to show our support for that. What happened here today with our students was kind of like, 'I told you so.' That was our message. They listen to Don. They care about Don. And Don cares about them. A lot of time in education it isn't like that.
"This was the most powerful lesson they could learn " exercising their First Amendment rights. And the kids did it the right way. Their mindset was they were not going anywhere. There were a lot of ways it could have gone, but when they were urged to go back to class by law enforcement, they did. There was no trouble. I am very proud of them."

Ward vs Abraham is in Jeopardy of Being Called Off
The Super Six World Boxing Classic semi-final clash between WBA Super-Middleweight Champion Andre Ward and former tournament point leader King Arthur Abraham will be called off – if the Californian Boxing Commission refuses to honour an existing agreement over neutral officials.
"Contrary to what has been previously agreed on, the Californian Commission all of a sudden insists on installing a Californian judge as well as a Californian referee. That is totally unacceptable," Hall-of-Fame-Promoter Wilfried Sauerland said.
"This turnaround comes as a huge and unpleasant surprise. Two months ago, everybody involved agreed that this tremendous fight would be served by neutral officials. We agreed to have one judge from California, one from Europe and one from neither Europe nor the US. The referee is supposed to be neither American nor European either. Unless this issue is sorted, King Arthur will not leave the country. We have put his flights on hold."
The 31-year-old German is currently shaping up on a small German island in the Baltic Sea. He was scheduled to leave for Los Angeles this weekend. "King Arthur is more than happy to challenge Ward in his backyard," Sauerland added. "But we demand neutral officials as agreed on. We have learned our lesson from the Kessler-Ward fight. Back then the Californian Commission insisted on having a Californian referee. His performance was – to put it mildly – a joke."
And Sauerland added: "This is not some beach bar brawl but the semi-final of the Super Six World Boxing Classic, a sensational tournament that has captured global attention. It´s a shame that the clash is jeopardized just because a local commission refuses to honour existing agreements and basic rules of fair play."
This tournament is a joke. Why are agreements being broken every fight? I don't care if one promoter is so good that he can change everything in favor for his fighter, that's just bull****. If something was agreed on, they…Comment by LeadUppercut on 04-29-2011

Skip to comments.THE TROJAN HORSE
Posted on 02/07/2009 6:16:04 PM PST by The Ignorant Fisherman
World Net Daily has done it again and is also on the cutting edge informing the world. As I was making the rounds on my favorite news web sites, I saw the title on WND - Stimulus to ban religious worship. As I started to read the piece I was amazed to find what also was stuffed into this big pork sandwich called the Stimulus bill. This Stimulus bill was written totally for and by the Socialist Left Democratic Party of America. The ingredients of this bill are 93 % pork and 7% stimulus. This Stimulus bill is none other then a Trojan horse full of bureaucracy and a leftist leaning agenda to dramatically change the course of the United States of America forever. What is most alarming is that this bill will most likely pass. We as a nation are on the precipice of absolute social change and full blown secular socialism. Our leaders in Washington are seeking more and more power. This bill is an absolute abomination to all that our founding Fathers held so dear and fought so hard to preserve. At the core of our Founders ideal was the Freedom of Religious practice. Our country was founded on these very Judean/Christian values, everything that the Left hates and despises.

To all........ did you see Sen. DeMint's you tube. It will blow you away! To arms! To arms!
WND is exaggerating again, as usual.
The claim that the stimulus bill limits religious liberty is way overblown (WorldNutDaily — big surprise).
It says that government money intended for building improvements can't be spent on buildings that are "used for worship." The WND article claims that a student praying in a dormitory may cause it to qualify as a building "used for worship."
This is nonesense, as the bill pretty clearly is discussing institution, not personal, uses of the buildings. If the university sponsors prayer meetings in the dorm, it MIGHT fall under this provision — if someone wants to be a jerk about it. But if it's just students praying of their own volition, it doesn't apply.

If the disingenuous jerks wrote such insidious language into this trecherous bill, you think they're not going to be dangerous jerks after this piece of dog-doo passes? Since when should Marxists be trusted?

Since when should Marxists be trusted?You are assuming that the people who wrote this provision had the intention of enforcing it like that. I don't see any evidence for this assumption. Indeed, any attempt to enforce it like that will probably end up in court and common sense will prevail.
Of all the problems with the bill, I can't believe anyone is getting worked up over this one.
I agree with this.
Just whose version of religious truth would you have the government subsidize, TIF, surely not those of the Mohammedans; what about those of "Christian" heretics?
"There has never been a Nation as the USA which was founded on Judean/Christian values."
That's simply untrue. Christian nations, as committed, if not more so, to Christian values as America, existed for rather more than 1000 years before anyone ever heard of the U.S. These Christian societies determined what "Biblical Christianity" is by determining what the canon of Scripture would be.
There is a separate forum here on FR for bloggers and vanity posts. You might consider taking advantage of it.
Well name some..Great Britan maybe?
"Well name some..Great Britan maybe?"
The Byzantine Empire, Georgia, Armenia, Russia, Ukraine Ethiopia, Serbia....Shall I go on?
Oh, and I meant to add, whatever other virtues British Christians may have had in the 8th century, or earlier for that matter, they had nothing to do with the establishment of the canon of Scripture.
Yo... you sound like a lib..Humm..A seminar Freeper...Yo my man..don't be hating...it's an open forum..and Obama hasn't taking all our freedoms yet don't take away mine..lol!
"...flead to America to worship God with a newly printed English Bible (1570-1610) in their own language with out losing their head or being burning at a stake for having one!...how bout them apples..lol!"
Greeks and Arabs and Copts and Slavs and Amenians, as well as Christians in Iraq, Iran and India have worshiped God in their own languages since day 1. That The Church in the West used Latin and enforced its usage with an axe is no fault of The Church in East, TIF. We had nothing to do with that. Don't fall into the trap of applying history made up to justify protestant animosity towards the Roman Church to Eastern Christianity.
"to Worship God with out Monarch or Papal persecution...flead to America to worship God with a newly printed English Bible (1570-1610) in their own language with out losing their head or being burning at a stake for having one!...how bout them apples..lol! that my dear friend is what sets America apart from Others.."
I am astonished that you show neither knowledge of nor appreciation for the 1400 years of oppression Christians in the East have suffered under the grinding boot of Mohammedanism AND YET PRESERVED THE FAITH INVIOLATE TO THIS DAY, the devastating attacks of "Christian" America on behalf of Mohammedan jihadis to the contrary notwithstanding.
"No nation has done so much for humanity then the USA..in such a short time. True we have had are problems..but we have preserved the world from destruction countless times."
That, TIF, is demonstrably untrue. History's march is longer that the few hundred years America has been around. I will grant you that no nation has ever done more, as a non Mohammedan nation, for the expansion of Islam at the expense of Christianity than America has the past 30 years or so.
I would add that whether the worship in the Latin Church was in Latin rather than the vernaculars has nothing to do with the Christian values Medieval Europe was built upon.
"I would add that whether the worship in the Latin Church was in Latin rather than the vernaculars has nothing to do with the Christian values Medieval Europe was built upon."
Not at all. It's just that vanity blog postings clutter this forum, esp. ones that start off extolling the virtues of World Nut Daily. Stimulus to ban religious worship Yeah, sure. Obama is the antichrist, and all that. Boy cries wolf.
Try the bloggers forum. You'll like it.
There's countless posts... let alone this one on the FR religious forum. don't check them out then. I think you should go back to listening to Air America...your a seminar freeper...no conservative would ever state to limit speech and slam WND... a lot of us out here no your a commie...Good news on that stiulus bill...right..lol..Never said your hero Obama is the anti christ on the -RELIGIOUS FORUM ON FR- LOL!
My friend...Judean/Christian Values never governed a nation as the have America
You are a leftist. WND is right about this. You hang quietly below the radar.
People should just read the bill (yes it's long) on their own.
Don't someone else filter to to you what's in it.
There are those here who would most heartily agree with that and thank-God for it...though not for the reasons you doubtless believe.
Orthodox Christians would argue that "Judeo/Christian Values" of the highest order formed the basis of every element of the governing of the Eastern Roman Empire for at least 1000 years. Copts would argue that those same values formed the basis of the government and society of Ethiopia for substantially longer than that. There are other examples, TIF.
Now, if what you mean to say is that a particular subset of Calvinist values never governed a nation as those values have America, I think we could find a consensus to stand behind that one.
Oh, come now. No one is limiting anyone's speech, unless having distinct, separate forums for appropriate content on FR is a form of limiting speech. The blogger forum was created for content such as yours.
As for World Nut Daily, it tends to the sensationalist end of the spectrum at times.
And I don't need to defend my conservative credentials with your sort.
a lot of us out here no your a commie...Good news on that stiulus bill...right..lol..Never said your hero Obama is the anti christ on the -RELIGIOUS FORUM ON FR- LOL!
This response is typical of the radical fringe of conservatism.
WND is no more reliable — and probably less so — than the liberal MSM. Not saying they aren't right on a rare occasion.
I post on this particular forum (Religion) because that is the topic majority of what we blog on. I like the feed back positive and negative. It helps me to be rooted in my Faith In Jesus Christ and to test what I believe. I just suggest next time you see a post of ours..just walk on by..
Thanks and God Bless!

Leading on offense for Rayne in the Tioga loss were Meche with three hits and Venable with 2 RBIs.
The Lady Wolves have two district contests scheduled this week, at Crowley High on Tuesday and host Beau Chene on Thursday.

I had one issue with flying too far I think, but I couldn't reproduce the problem. I flew maybe 60ft and it lost connection but it glided itself right down to the ground and landed better then I could have! Might have been a little luck there but You are right they do seem to find anything to crash into if you are not careful haha.
The little battery lasts forever! I was getting 15 minutes easily gliding in the slight breeze! I saw a review where a guy said he landed it and the wheels kind of tucked under like they sometimes do, but the battery came loose, lost connection, motor stuck at 1/3 throttle and it flew off into the night sky! Mine kind of did that last night but it was completely detached from the wing. So that's something to watch for when flying outside.
It feels so fragile when handling it but this is my first slowflyer
I heard the carbon fiber prop tends to break if it smacks the ground/gym floor but parkzone vapor props will fit it. I want to try a prop saver on it!
For $42 shipped I cannot complain. I had a blast the few times I flew it yesterday!

I would not send the Uberlites back because the airframes alone are worth the $35.
Also the cost of shipping back needs to be factored in. A few threads back I mentioned a change over to ParkZone receiver brick etc. If you own a Spektrum radio this mod is well worth the cost and effort as it mates one of the best ultra micro receiver bricks, and motor/gearbox packages with a great airframe. If you can get the flying wing airframe, it is the best of all, but they are all really good.
The greatest weakness in the Uberlites is their entire power and control package.
Sorry for the poor picture - my camera batteries were almost gone.

I knew what to expect as far as the intention of this plane- very light, fragile and not for any sort of wind. As far as spotty radio function, how about 3 feet!
I will give it one last shot outside when the rain lets up. Tower has always treated me right as far as returns, and I try to make things work before making a decision to contact them.
I want to like this as it is seconds to get ready for flight (except for battery charge time), and seems like it would be easy to fix. Maybe a tougher prop, this one looks horribly weak right near the hub. Carbon fiber is nice, but $9 for a replacement?
UPDATE: I attempted to fly outside (calm) and could not control it reliably. The surfaces don't do what the sticks say, at least not when I want it to happen. The motor/esc seem to lag a lot also. I'll see what Tower can do. I think the airframes are fine.

Thanks for the advice. I read the thread and you have a history with this plane. I don't own any Spektrum stuff. I don't expect 100% perfection, but I don't desire this to be a project, either. The plane is mostly uncontrollable with the current radio/actuators.
I'll see how it does outdoors in calm conditions. If the radio keeps acting as it does now, I'll contact Tower and see what they offer to do. They've always given me stellar service.
Yeah 3ft is really bad! I have now flown mine over 100ft high and probably 80ft out testing range / gliding and the only time I lost connection was when I went by the same exact place as the first time it went out. But I regained control after a second and It never happened again no matter how many times I tired lol
I love flying this while waiting for my um batteries to charge!
Sloperdude I hope you get yours figured out / fixed soon!
I wish I knew how to adapt it to another receiver "brick" as was mentioned a few posts earlier. Some directions on how to do that would be good.

I will admit the changeover is a bit of a project, but can be accomplished in a few hours. The change was done in three phases. 1) the Night Vapor brick and 70 mAh battery. 2) Night Vapor gearbox with Cub/Champ motor. 3) reinforcing the leading edge of the monoplane's wing with a piece of thin carbon fibre rod.
The Night Vapor prop with more pitch twisted into it is used throughout.
The motor/gearbox changeover is optional as I just wanted more power. Most of the general improvement came with the NV brick changeover, giving me reliability and ruggedness.
Where the power increase is most valuable is in the flying wing which allows it to do basic aerobatics including rolls, and fills that void between the Night Vapor and the (sadly discontinued) UMX Extra 300 3D. With the increased power the wing is not only a great indoor plane but has no problem flying outdoors in a light breeze. Radio range has never been an issue.
I use a DX6i for radio as it's mixing functions are required. The "feel" of these planes is so much more positive with a good transmitter compared to the cheap controller that comes with them.
If I get a chance I will try to post more detailed instructions on this changeover.
I guess I will have to plan on getting me a Night Vapor.
But out of curiosity, why transplant Night Vapor guts into an Uberlite, as opposed to just flying a Night Vapor around?
Is there some advantage to doing this surgery?

I had a spare NV brick kicking around. NV gearboxes, props and Cub/Champ motors are all dirt cheap. My Uberlite actuators were destroyed from a high speed wall stoppage, so the whole project was a no brainer for me as my airframes were undamaged. Not to mention, I hated the stock Uberlites delicate nature and poor control.
Why bother with this project? It gets 2 otherwise useless airframes into the air with completely different flying characteristics to each other and to the Night Vapor.
Don't buy a Night Vapor to butcher - it's too good a plane for that, and there is a host of cheap hop-ups that can be done to it too.
"High speed wall stoppage"... LOL!!!
I like that.
I am tempted to go buy a mini-vapor to fly in my house with all this crappy weather xD

I loved my Uberlite, for one whole flight. 5mph breeze with lotsa thermal activity equals one lost Uberlite. I followed it on foot for over 3 miles before I finally lost sight of the spec in the sky. Glad I got it on sale. )

Sweating in Sri Lanka
... getting dolled up for dinner. Unfortunately the clifftop restaurant we had chosen was shut but we ended up at a nice place anyway. Was a very relaxing few days, walking the beach, having G & T's on the balcony, swimming in the rooftop pool or in the sea, sitting right on the sand at the many beach restaurants having delicious food. Had an interesting arvo with our favorite Tuk Tuk driver whom became a friend, we were going to a temple but ...
... road the heat must be around 35c and the humidity about 80% we'll hot!
In the ground we are up on the 5th level, tickets cost 2000/- rupees that equals �20, but the locals can purchase a ticket for 100/- rupees, that is 50p! There is a nice breeze blowing through the stands that keep you cool.
The match starts and within 2 overs the heavens open, it literally pours down, ...
Kanneliya rainforest

There are plenty national parks nearby and we decided to do a jungle walk in the Kennaliya Rainforest which is a part of the Sinharaja National Park. It was supposed to be only a half day trip from 7am till 2pm and the day started extremely well because on the way to the rainforest not even 30 minutes on the road my wife yelled out to our driver to stop as she saw something massive in a rives ...
Want to see a whale? Granted.
... Rob Smith to take his picture in the campest way possible adding "and you'd better make me look pretty" Good grief, carry on captain. The subsequent show of Grant then draping himself around the rails of the boat while ordering the ever patient Rob to "take another one please" was like a car crash; you don't want to look but you just have to. Anyway it broke the ice with the Germans, half of which were laughing while the other half tried to hide on a boat only just ...

Station master whistles and train horn blasts, rattle of old tracks, bells at crossings. Really beautiful!

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of limbal-conjunctival vs conjunctival autograft transplant for treating recurrent pterygia.
Methods In a randomized, prospective, parallel-group clinical trial, 224 patients with advanced recurrent pterygia underwent free conjunctival autograft transplant (112 eyes) or limbal-conjunctival autograft transplant (112 eyes). Two hundred five patients completed the follow-up (100 eyes from the conjunctival autograft group and 105 eyes from the limbal-conjunctival autograft group).
Main Outcome Measures Recurrence of pterygium, with complications as the secondary outcome measure (ie, signs of limbal stem cell deficiency).
Results With a mean follow-up of 62 (range, 36-96) months, 10 patients (10.0%) in the conjunctival autograft group and 1 patient (1.0%) in the limbal-conjunctival autograft group developed recurrence. No signs of limbal stem cell deficiency were observed during follow-up.
Conclusion Limbal-conjunctival transplant is safe and more effective than free conjunctival transplant in preventing recurrence after excision of recurrent pterygia (P = .004).
Application to Clinical Practice Limbal-conjunctival autografts could be a favored option for managing advanced recurrent pterygia in young high-risk patients.

Figure 2. Photograph of patient 59 in the limbal-conjunctival autograft group. This patient had the only recurrence after limbal-conjunctival autografting, and the pterygium's size remained stationary at less than 1.5 mm.

Data modelling is considered a staple in the world of data management. The skill of the data modeler and their knowledge of the business plays a large role in successful Enterprise Information Management across many organizations. Data modeling requires formal accountability, attention to metadata and getting the business heavily involved in data requirement development. These are all traits of solid Data Governance programs.
Use Cases are a classical format used in UML to describe user scenarios and document requirements. They have been mostly replaced by user stories when software development teams adopt Agile approaches like Scrum. This article by Paul Raymond discusses how classical use cases can be use to expand user stories during requirements elicitation in Scrum sprints.

Several beams of each type are selected at random, and the de?ections (in units of 0.001 inch) are measured when the beams are submitted to a force of 3,000 pounds. The respective sample characteristics are n1=10, x-bar=82.6, s^2_x=6.52 and n2=12, y-bar=78.1, s^2_ y=7.02.

One year ago I wrote an article recommending what I called a 'sleeper stock' that had "...the potential for eye popping gains."
This was an under the radar stock that was miniscule in size, but was well worth bringing to readers' attention. That's because it's much more likely that a sub-$100 million market cap company will triple, or more, in size than a company worth $5 billion.
In that article I wrote:
What do I mean by sleeper stocks? Those that don't have super compelling business descriptions - the kind of companies that you begin to read about only to find that you've slipped off the couch and into a deep sleep on the floor. But these companies are waking up to prospects of future growth - so get vertical again...
I want to give readers an update on this stock's performance since it has done exceptionally well over the last year. The company is Northern Technologies International Corporation (Nasdaq: NTIC). It competes in the less than sexy packing & containers industry.
However, the stock price performance has been pretty attractive, having risen 93 percent over the last year, from $9.84 to $19.03.
Northern Technology International Corporation makes protective coatings and eco-friendly polymer resin compounds. It's a tiny company - the market cap is still only $83 million.
A year ago the stock traded on very thin volume of only around 2,000 shares a day - today it trades around double that number. However, this is still exceptionally thin volume and accounts for a lot of the stock's volatility. So be aware that share price volatility is the norm, and if you purchase shares don't do so at the top of the stock's trading range, like where it is right now.
Currently, I'd recommend putting the stock on your watch list for a purchase price below $17. If history is any guide, it will retreat to that level on thin volume and offer investors a more attractive entry price.
Despite its tiny size the company has international exposure, an attractive thing for investors who want revenue diversity in their micro cap investments. In 2010, 31 percent of sales came from outside of the U.S.
Over the last twelve months, revenues have grown by an impressive 93 percent to $17.7 million, and net income has increased by 21 percent to $3.65 million.
Looking forward, the one analyst covering Northern Technologies expects 2012 revenues of $22.7 million and net income of $4.9 million. Those projections imply 21 percent revenue growth and 21.5 percent net income growth. If the company meets or exceeds expectations, I believe the stock price will continue trading in its upward (albeit volatile) channel and reward investors who can stomach the erratic behavior of such a thinly traded stock.
Check out Northern Technologies and consider if the stock is right for your portfolio. It isn't going to wow the crowd at your next cocktail party - but frankly who cares.
You can keep it to yourself and enjoy the fact that you're investing in stocks that make big returns - not just those that make for great conversation.
