KDE Default DeskTop for openSUSE
The openSUSE community has had its request granted. Version 11.2 of the Linux distribution will come with KDE as default desktop.
The alternative Gnome, will remain an equal option, with no loss in quality, says Michael Loeffler in his announcement on the project's mailing list. The KDE default setting refers to the radio button, where Gnome will continue to be available. Until now, there was no preset desktop, and Gnome was top of the select list.
The official request for the return of KDE as default desktop came from newly elected board member Frank Karlitscheck. As we reported, a recent survey pronounced KDE the desktop of choice for two thirds of openSUSE users. Gnome appeared to be prioritized after Novell's takeover of SUSE.
Board ClarificationJust to be clear, Frank is recently elected to the KDE e.V. Board, not the openSUSE Community Board. Our elections for openSUSE board members will not commence until October.

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' recap: Did Lisa fake faint?
Plus, Taylor drops in and Carlton hates everyone
So, so much happens on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" this week! Actually, no. I mean, a big day for these gals is brunch and a new purse. Their first world problems must be created from petty grievances, hurt feelings and simmering jealousy over who has the cutest shoes. Good news! They've got plenty of those! Oh, and Yolanda has Lyme disease. So, there's one actual problem. Excuse me, I feel a little faint. Hey, I bet Lisa does, too! We'll get to that matter shortly, never fear.
Let's start with Yolanda's Lyme disease, which has somehow affected her brain and required a shunt in her heart. What's really scary, though, is Yolanda's doctor, who looks like an aging Vegas magician or Rob Lowe's character in "Behind the Candelabra." Seriously, if my doctor has enough time to get blond highlights, he's not working hard enough.
Anyway, Yolanda is worried. What if David Foster decides to trade her in for a different trophy wife? What if she dies? The former, by the way, is much more significant. If she dies, at least she won't have to do the Master Cleanse any more. Ah, death -- a blessed relief from dieting!
I would argue that Yolanda's brain fog isn't from Lyme disease so much as it's from a lack of protein. When her daughter calls her up post-op to tell her she's feeling really woozy from only eating a half-almond that day, Yolanda tells her to go nuts -- eat SEVERAL almonds! And chew them thoroughly!
Best part of Yolanda's segment: Gigi tells Yolanda she can tell she's nervous about going to the hospital, because she's wearing clogs. Comfortable footwear is a sign of internal weakness, people! Beat your Crocs to death with a hammer!
Also on the crazy train is Carlton, whose daughter isn't Mystery, as I thought, but Mysteri. Her other children, Destiny and Cross are spelled as you might expect, but that doesn't make them any less weird. Carlton loves religious iconography. Crosses are so cool! So is the pentagram! She just loves religious stuff, even if she's a witch and most of it probably has no significance to her. She also loves to swear in front of her children, dropping the F bomb like a friendly sprinkle of oregano or fairy dust everywhere she goes.
Brandi recruits her mom to help her move into her fabulous new house, which has a rusty oven and may not be as fabulous as she thinks. I'm also wondering why, if Brandi is moving on up, she needs to make her elderly mom shlep her stuff. There are these things called moving companies that can do that for you, Brandi! Anyway, Brandi's dad won't speak to her because her Oscar dress was so lousy and he hates her fake boobs. Brandi can't understand how a guy who used to walk around naked could have become so conservative, and I'd hazard a guess that it may have started the day his daughter almost had a massive nip slip on national television.
The important (I use that word loosely) thing we learn about Brandi is she loves to write poetry. Really, really bad poetry. Her mother jokes, "Byron, Keats and Shelley have nothing to worry about."
Brandi responds, "Who are they?" This is the moment where you can actually hear the face palms echoing through, if not Los Angeles, at least other parts of the country.
Finally, we move on to Lisa, who is getting increasingly comfortable pressing her naughty bits against Gleb while working on "Dancing with the Stars." That's most exciting about her stint on the show is that Taylor shows up to watch her. Taylor! Yeah, and she almost looks normal. She's now dating her divorce lawyer, so that isn't weird at all. But hey, glad she's happy. And he's glad there's no crappy ex-husband for him to deal with. Anyway, Taylor isn't on the show anymore because she's spending all her time in Colorado. Right. That's it.
Anyway, Lisa feels terrible for Kyle. She has no friends anymore now that Taylor's in Colorado and Adrienne is… what, dead? I mean, Adrienne isn't on the show anymore, but let's not get overly dramatic. Lisa doesn't really feel terrible for Kyle, but it doesn't matter, because Kyle is trying the new Housewives on for size. While Joyce seems to be a candidate for new suck-up BFF, Carlton is not exactly a fan. While Carlton is crazy in her own special way, I can appreciate her ability to see through Kyle and find her lacking.
Strike one: Kyle interrupts Carlton's story about a cat killing a bird in her living room to get the wine. A bird DIED, Kyle! Be respectful! Strike two: Carlton thinks it's terrible when Kyle and her friend Sharon conspire to kill a bee at the table. Yeah, Kyle could die if she gets stung, but bees are people, too! Strike three: She thinks Kyle's story about her boobs leaking is totally unfunny, even though Joyce looks like she's going to blow wine out her nose she's laughing so hard. Ding, ding, ding! Carlton thinks Kyle is an asshat. Let the season begin!
A less unpleasant lunch is being had at Lisa's house, where she's invited over Brandi and Yolanda for caustic conversation. Even though Kyle makes a big show of going to support Lisa when she's on "Dancing with the Stars," I think she might as well give up, as Lisa just seems to, in her very English way, hate her guts.
In other news, Kim has a pit bull named Kingsley which will someday kill and eat a toddler. I want to say that Kim, who had NO idea that training a PIT BULL might be challenging, might have wanted to get a small, fluffy purse dog instead of a loaded weapon covered in fur. She hires a trainer named David to help her wrestle Kingsley into submission. I think it's time to call Cesar Milan for a pick-up, honestly.
Even though Lisa has gotten a fabulous new body from appearing on "Dancing with the Stars," she's overwhelmed. She wants to open a gay garden bar named Pump, which could also have a daytime function for breastfeeding mothers, I think. Anyway, she can't do it all, and thus "faints" during rehearsals for the show. As trained actors Kyle and Kim quickly point out, it's a fake faint. They have a point, as it's more of a soap opera swoon and Lisa manages to hold on to Gleb's hand so she doesn't hit her head against the floor. To make it convincing, she waves the camera away -- because no celebrity in their right mind wants the camera to stop running, right?
Apparently this fake faint will be a big deal next week. As usual, much ado about nothing much, but that's what we love about our "Housewives," right?
Do you think it was a fake faint? Were you happy to see Taylor? And do you think Carlton and Joyce are going to fit in?

I'm going to dignify your question with an acutal reply, though you don't deserve it.No, we're not. We would be disappointed in him at this point regardless of skin tone. We're disappointed in him for different reasons than you might be, because you came out of the box pre-disappointed, so to speak.And now, back to people reacting to the troll.><>
why should your color matter? America has no place for this kind of language? United we stand. It is what makes us a great nation. People are people, no matter what color, shape, or size they are. God created all of us, each and everyone of us is unique! What you are saying is shameful! Get some education, it will help you become a better person.
Texas should never have become part of us! you are proof! rot in hell!
There is a reason there are so few "last names" in Texas, Mississippi,Alabama, and Georgia. And its a proven fact that IQs are far lowerthen bloodlines are inbreed.Obama may be an idiot, but he seems far less corrupt than Bush. Obamaalso does not seem to be a war-monger like Bush was..

Which GOP Candidate Will Win the "Reagan Democrats"?
Reagan Democrats? Many are asking who will win these voters in tonight's elections. Will it be Romney? Santorum? Gingrich or Paul? First, ask yourselves, are there any Reagan Republicans running for President tonight?
That was a different time. The Republican party actually had moderates among their ranks. That was before the Jim DeMint's of the Tea Party World had purged by primary all the moderates from the once proud GOP.
No. There are no "Reagan Democrats anymore. Democrats aren't willing to vote for a Republican who isn't in anyway like Reagan. They're all extremists now. They hold extreme positions. The GOP is unwilling to compromise on legislature to get anything accomplished in Washington.
The only place you'll find a Democrat voting for a Republican this year is in states that allow Democrats to vote in a GOP primary and then it will be for the weaker of the 4 opponents. Humm..which would that be?
The days of Democrats supporting the GOP are over. Reagan is dead and so are his Democratic supporters because there are no Reagan-like candidates in the Republican Party anymore.
"Reagan Democrat" is an American political term used by analysts to denote traditionally Democratic voters, especially white working-class Northerners, who defected from their party to support Republican President Ronald Reagan in both the 1980 and 1984 elections.
It is also used to refer to the smaller but still substantial number of Democrats who voted for George H. W. Bush in the 1988 election.
George Will, noting the long-term movements of partisanship, said in 2012 that: "White voters without college education — economically anxious and culturally conservative — were called "Reagan Democrats" when they were considered only seasonal Republicans because of Ronald Reagan. Today they are called the Republican base."

The Safety of Objectsby A. M. Homes, Robin Desser
View All Available Formats & Editions
Published to overwhelming critical acclaim, this remarkable collection of short stories established A.M. Homes as one of the most provacative and daring writers of her generation. Here you'll find the cult classic. "A Real Doll," the tale of a teenage boy's erotic obsession with his sister's Barbie doll; "Adults Alone," which first introduced Paul and Elaine, the crack-smoking yuppie couple whose marriage careens out of control in Home's novel Music for Torching; and "Looking for Johnny," in which a kidnapped boy, having failed his abductors expectations, is returned home.
Brilliantly concieved, sharply etched, and exceptionally satisfying, these stories explore the American dream in ways you're not likely soon to forget. Working in Kodacolor hues, Homes offers an uncanny picture of a surreal suburbia outrageous and utterly believable.
Author Biography: A.M. Homes is the author of the novels The End of Alice, In a Country of Mothers, and Jack, as well as the short-story collection The Safety of Objects and the artist's book Appendix A. Her fiction has been translated into eight languages, and she is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a National endowment for the Arts Fellowship. Her fiction and nonfiction appear in magazines such as The New Yorker and Artforum, among others, and she is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, Mirabella, Bomb, Blind Spot, and Story.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Adults Alone
Elaine takes the boys to Florida and drops them off like they're dry cleaning.
"See you in ten days," she says as they wave good-bye in the American terminal. "Be nice!"
She kisses her mother-in-law's cheek and, feeling the rough skin against her own, thinks of this woman literally as her husband's genetic map, down to the beard.
"Go," her mother-in-law says, pushing her towards the gate.
It is the first time she's left her children like that. She gets back onto the plane thinking there's something wrong with her, that she should have a better reason or a better vacation plan, Europe not Westchester.
Paul is waiting at the airport. He's been there all day. After dropping them off this morning, he took over the west end of the lounge and spent the day there working. She knows because he paged her at Miami International to remind her to bring oranges home.
He seems younger than she remembers. His eyes are glowing and he looks a little bit like Charlie Manson did before he let himself go. Elaine is sure he's been smoking dope again. She imagines Paul locking himself in an airport bathroom stall with his smokeless pipe and some guy who got bumped off a flight to L.A.
She wonders why he doesn't find it strange, pressing himself into a tiny metal cabinet with a total stranger. He once told her that whenever he got stoned in a bathroom with another guy it gave him a hard-on and he was never sure if it was the dope or the other man.
She can't believe that in all these years he's never been busted. She used to wish it would happen; she thought it wouldstraighten him out.
"Let's go home," Elaine says.
"We don't have to go home, we can go anywhere. We can...." He winks at her.
"I'm tired," Elaine says.
They drive home silently. The car is so new that it doesn't make any noises. Paul pulls carefully into the driveway. Branches from trees surrounding the house scrape across the car. Elaine thinks of campfire horror stories about men with hooks for arms and women buried alive with long fingernails poking through the dirt.
"Got to cut those branches back," Paul says and then they are silent.
Paul follows her up the steps, talking about the steps. "If we're going to paint them, we should go ahead and do it before it snows."
"Maybe tomorrow," she says, but honestly she doesn't want to do anything else to the house. She's given up on it. It's too much work.
She feels like she's been having an extramarital relationship with their home. It isn't even an affair, an affair sounds too nice, too good. As far as she's concerned a house should be like a self-cleaning oven; it should take care of itself.
The last time she was happy with the house was the day before they moved in, when the floors had just been done, when it was big and empty, and they hadn't paid for it yet.
Elaine pushes open the front door.
"I wish you'd remember to lock the door," she says. "In the city you never forgot to lock the door."
It is dark inside. Elaine stands in the front hall, trying to remember where the light switch is. In the six months they've lived there, she and Paul have never been alone in the house. It's nice, she thinks, still feeling the wall for the switch. She turns on all the lights and begins picking up things, Daniel's clothing, Sammy's toys. She straightens the pillows on the sofa and goes upstairs to take a bath. The phone rings and Paul answers it. She falls asleep hearing the sound of voices softly talking, thinking Paul is a good father; he is down the hall, reading a story to Sammy.
As usual they both wake between six-thirty and seven, listening for the children. They are alone together, trapped in their bed. They don't have to get up. They don't have to go anywhere. They are on vacation.
Eventually, between seven-thirty and quarter-to-eight, when there is no more getting around it, she looks at him. He is balding. She thinks she can actually see his hairline receding, follicle by follicle. He has told her that he can feel it. He says his whole head feels different; it tingles, it gets chilled easily, it just isn't the way it used to be. She thinks about herself. Her face is caving in. She has circles and bags and all kinds of things around her eyes. Last week she spent forty dollars on lotion to cover it all up.
When she comes downstairs, he has already eaten breakfast and lunch.
"Maybe we should go to a movie later?" he says.
Paul doesn't really mean they should go to a movie; he means they should make a time to be together, in some way or another. Usually they have to get a sitter for this.
"Pick you up around four," he says.
"Does that mean you're taking the car? I have things to do."
"We can go together," he says.
In his fantasy about suburban life the whole family is always in the car together, going places, singing songs, eating McDonald's. He loves it when they pull up in front of a store and he goes in while she waits in the car for as long as it takes.
"Forget it," she says.
Late in the afternoon, Paul comes into the bedroom where Elaine is resting.
"I brought you something," he says, handing her a porno tape he rented in town.
"For me?" she says.
She can't imagine that he brought this for her.The Safety of Objects. Copyright � by A Homes. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved. Available now wherever books are sold.

This is one of the best collection of short stories I have ever read. Having lived in the suburbs I can relate to all these stories. This is the second book by Ms. Homes that I have read after 'The End of Alice', and it was quite different. Very much enjoyed and highly recommend it.
i read the boook front-2-back then saw the movie; as close to the novel as can be for such an inspirational/articulate author. if your interested in a book to honestly never put down because of the mental stimuli it contains, then this book is work reading! ~Elimeana
I first read 'The Safety of Objects' a while ago and enjoyed it cover to cover. Each story was brilliantly written and completely relatable. After reading this book, i followed up on others writen and have enjoyed them all.
Great little morbid and dark tales. Highly recommend.
Let us not quarrel about who has the greater cybering ability. It's an odd subject, and one I find would only lead to disaster. Besides, who really wants to talk about this?

"The Kind Cookery"= Cooked with Kindness in a Certified "A" Graded Commercial Kitchen. Medicinal Edibles: It has been proven that cannabis is a beneficial treatment for many medical ailments. As the smoking of cannabis is irritating to our respiratory systems, ingesting cannabis delivers the desired effects with more potency and a much longer high. Edibles made with different strains deliver different effects, and we ensure strain info is on all edibles from our kitchen. Edibles are a wonderful way of medicating without the harmful effects of smoking. "The Kind Cookery" strives to make the most delicious medicinally potent goodies and cookery around. We use fresh quality ingredients in every recipe and all our medical marijuana is greenhouse grown organically in (619) California. Cooked with kindness by The Kind Cookery!
Went to visit with Grandma for a couple weeks and my cousin Jodie (from LA) was also at Granny's. Well Jodie was more savvy to the ways of the world than this little hick chick(me), and she kept sneeking puffs off this little corn-cob pipe when Granny wasn't around. I had to see what the buzz was!
This was a nice place, nice location (it's the suite with mirrored glass) between cleaners and nail place. The budtender led us through the verification process with ease and professionalism. The medication was impressive and the free joints we received as first timers were great! Picked up master kush and blue dream... both were nice, well cured and very tasty. We'll be back
You rock!! Thanks for the awesome review. I am in the process of getting honey buds if you like and I just got Califorganics edibles. THANK YOU
Our FAVORITE dispensary!!! Definitly the best quality meds so far. The edibles are phenomenal... best sleep aid I've found... and SDMC's are potent and yummy (great combination). The proprietor is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and very professional. Everything was done by the book; our Dr's recommendations were scanned and verified before we even spoke of medications and their inventory. This is a TOP NOTCH dispensary with TOP SHELF medicine.
We are very grateful to have you...Thanks SDMC
Unified provides safe access for quality potent medication. The late hours are great for those of us that work late. Thanks for being there for patients that need you. We stopped by and were very disappointed to see our late night place was "closed" :( Glad to see your back and we'll be back... I'll bring some rolled tacos this time (can't always eat ribs).
Nice selection, friendly, helpful staff, clean, quiet location, great signage, quickly verified, impressed with the quality of meds available. Like the coupon... $50 ~ 1/8, thanks! Was worth the drive from Campo @ 10:30 at night. We'll be back.
Live in the East County and it's great to not have the long a*s drive. Great location, wonderful parking, cool security guard (nice guy), easy to find, quick verification process and even got a FREE gift for being 1st timers there. LOVE the skunk... sticky smelly yummy!!!!
Selection is THE BEST ALL the TIME. Prices are competitive and the bud is GOOD! It's like walking into Home Depot, everything you could need and want it all.
Nice place, easy to find, good parking, quick verification process, good meds, GREAT prices. We'll be back. Oh yeah, thanks for the 2 grams per patient for being first timers.
Loved that Mr Nice Guy.
Great place... we left thinking "Sic". The Bud was good and the staff was wonderful. A little pricy, but Hopper made it a little over and kicked in some cookies. Great guy, friendly and helpful. We'll be back.
Nice selection, great staff, knowledgable and friendly. Great Med quality and many flavors to choose from. They had some of everything on hand and donations were set at a fair rate. Clean and inviting atmosphere, great proprietor, good medicine... we'll be back
Love the Green crack!

Non means-tested loans of up to £10,000 will be made available to students applying to taught and research Masters courses. PhD students will be funded through a separate scheme.
For more information, go to the main Lancaster University page.
Programme scholarships
We know that undertaking Masters study can be a significant financial commitment and we therefore provide significant scholarship funding for applicants who have been offered a place on the programme and who meet our scholarship criteria. These generous scholarships are provided for self-funded and part-funded applicants. The scholarship amounts vary and can in exceptional cases be up to the full amount.
How do I apply?
You will automatically be considered for these scholarships when we review your application and while funds are available. Because we allocate scholarships on a rolling basis, it's wise to make your application for the programme as early in the year as you can.
There is no need to complete any additional paperwork. However, you may be invited to participate in a short telephone interview as part of the selection process or asked to supply further supporting information. If we shortlist you for a scholarship, we will let you know what we need from you and the process involved.
If you are awarded a scholarship, you may be asked to act as a student ambassador or representative for the programme.
Types of programme scholarships
For 2016 entry, we are offering the following types of scholarship:
- Academic Excellence Scholarships
These scholarships are available on a competitive basis to applicants with an outstanding academic profile - for example, an undergraduate degree equivalent to a UK first-class honours degree.
- UK/European Scholarships
Generous scholarships are available on a competitive basis to applicants with a strong academic and/or personal profile who are nationals of the UK or EU countries.
- International Scholarships
These scholarships are available on a competitive basis to applicants with a strong academic and/or personal profile who are nationals of non-EU countries.
Other Lancaster scholarships
Country-specific Scholarships are designed to support students from specific regions applying for taught Masters programmes. The awards are made on the basis of outstanding academic achievement.
The University provides several generous Scholarship Schemes to help students with the costs of postgraduate study. These include an Alumni Loyalty Scholarship for Lancaster University graduates.
For further information about these scholarship schemes and about other potential sources of funding for postgraduate study, see the main LUMS Scholarships and funding page.
External scholarships available
The Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme
The leading global reputation of Lancaster University Management School and the MSc in International Business & Strategy has been recognised by the award of a Commonwealth Scholarship. Applications for this scholarship are restricted to nationals of any Commonwealth member country. Competition for this award will be extremely strong and it will be awarded by the University, in consultation with the Commonwealth Scholarships Commission, to the most outstanding candidate who satisfies the eligibility and admissions criteria for the Programme. For further details on eligibility, finance available and conditions of the award, see Commonwealth Shared Scholarships.
The Commonwealth Scholarship will cover all costs associated with studying at Lancaster - including fees, return air ticket and book allowance - together with a monthly stipend to cover living expenses.
If you wish to be considered for the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme, you must include with your application a separate request letter clearly stating that you wish to be considered for the award.
Applications must be submitted via our online application system by 28 February, 2015.

Questions about the safety of a Brampton townhouse complex have been raised in the wake of a tragic fire over the weekend.
A 10-year-old boy, identified as 10-year-old Nicolas Gabriel, died in a townhouse complex fire on Sunday near Kennedy and Queen.
The boy's body was found after the fire was extinguished. He was visiting for a sleepover.
Eighty to 100 people have lost their homes and nearly all of their possessions after the fire broke out on Ardglen Avenue around 3:15 Sunday morning. Eighteen units were destroyed in total.
As many as 300 people were initially evacuated for safety reasons.
On Moore in the Morning Monday there were concerns raised about the conditions of the townhouse complex.
"If you drive past you can just clearly see the places are poorly taken care of," Pastor Jamie Holtom of the North Bramalea United Church told Moore in the Morning. "(The units) are not being supported as far as the physicality of the places."
Resident Wendy Gibson told the Globe and Mail Monday morning that the fire alarms were inadequate.
"I was hearing people talking - they couldn't even hear the fire alarms at their house," Gibson told the Globe. "They should be inside every house, and they don't take care of this place."
Fire officials said a townhouse unit was engulfed in flames and the fire spread "very quickly" to other units.
A Deputy fire chief confirmed the fire began in the kitchen of one unit while the tennant was cooking, then quickly spread from roof to roof.
Brampton Mayor Susan Fennell says the city is working with the residents who have lost their homes, ensuring they're equipped with the essentials and provided with a place to stay. The local community center has also opened its doors.
The website www.regenbrampton.com is accepting cash donations on behalf of the victims.
The Fire Marshall is investigating.

Credit: Flickr/DoD.Originally posted on Informed Comment.President Obama addressed the big issues of war and peace in his inaugural address, and despite the vagueness of some of his pronouncements, they contain strong clues to his foreign policy agenda in the Middle East. His announced policy will be one of ending U.S. military engagements abroad, multilateral cooperation with allies to face security challenges, negotiation, and avoidance of further military entanglements in the Middle East. In other words, Syrians are on their own, France can have Mali, and Iran is probably not going to be bombed.

Ethanol Technologies ("Ethtec")
Ethanol is being increasingly used worldwide as a renewable liquid fuel for transport. It is used either neat or in blends with petroleum fuels. However conventional ethanol production relies on the sugar and starch content of food crops, and requires the specific planting of these crops for ethanol.
By contrast, Ethtec can convert low-value material, often deemed "waste", into ethanol without the need to utilise primary agricultural sugar or starch resources.
Commercialising second generation ethanol production technology
Ethtec has a world-wide exclusive license to further develop and commercialise patented, laboratory-proven technologies for the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic material such as wood, bagasse (waste from sugar production), crop stubble and municipal green waste. This is generally referred to as "cellulosic ethanol". (See Ethtec Process).
The Ethtec process brings distinct environmental advantages, particularly in relation to low greenhouse gas emissions (see Environmental Benefits) and production advantages (see Industrial Benefits) over other ethanol processes.
The first stage of commercialisation has been the establishment of a scaled pilot plant in New South Wales, Australia to demonstrate the commercial application of the technologies (see Pilot Plant).Phase two has also been completed, proving conversion of sugar cane bagasse and radiata pine to very clean mixed C5 and C6 sugars in a continuous in-line process in less than 10 minutes. This compares favourably with enzymatic hydrolysis processes that can take in excess of 3 days to achieve a similar outcome (see Latest News below). The Ethtec pilot plant is expected to be the first in the world to achieve an economically-feasible and environmentally-sustainable conversion of lignocellulosic material to Ethanol fuel.
There is significant potential to access the associated intellectual property worldwide at each phase of the pilot plant development through license agreements with Ethtec.
The indicative timing to commercialisation is:
- Construction and operation of pilot plant (4 phases): December 2007 - December 2012
- Development of commercial-scale plant: December 2012 - December 2013
Latest news
- 22 Oct 2012
- Ethtec receives International Recognition
- 16 Oct 2012
- Cellulosic Ethanol Production Technology Set to Revolutionise Timber and Sugar Industries
Pilot Plant Progress
Phase One was successfully completed in 2009.
Phase Two was successfully completed in December 2011.

For those who use the Mamba Max Pro in their Pede and still suffer from the jump start that many of the MMPs have, download the latest firmware from the Castle site. It's finally solved.
Nobody is born with experience
By ''jump start'' you mean the fact that when you gently push the throttle, the RC have a sudden boost and then slow down? I noticed mine was doing this and it was annoying, but I didn't know it was an issue that only some user have...
Thank for the info I'm definitely updating it :-)
Thanks for the heads-up
1.33 gave me hard throttle glitching. Ended up going back to 1.32

IMO, Field Link is the way to go. Often the difference in price is little ($2.34 in my case). When connected to a computer, it offers FULL Castle Link functionality. It's also fun to whip out in front of others.

I have 3 mmp's. 1 of them has a different fan shroud. I will try that (my oldest),one, but I was using an 8 mo old mmp today

the low end smoothness you were describing is there. Its just that there is a mid range bog down. When it happens, if you let off the throttle and throttle back up the full power comes on. Its very frustrating, and its not a consistent thing. I have the oldest mmp in now and will try 1.39 to see if maybe its a hardware thing...

I am certain that with the new version you can't drive as slow as with the previous version. Good thing with my Summit is that the amount of cogging is reduced to zero.

This newest version is working very well for me as well. I was not having any real issue with he previous versions but this one does seem smoother on the low end. I am very happy with it as it is now.

All 3 mmps are doing it. Next time I have it out, I will post a vid. You will be able to see it by how tall the tires balloon, and how the balloon diameter changes between full throttle pulls. Some times it will take about 5 full sec to get to top speed. I have had the issue with both my flysky and 2217 rx's, and 2075 and mmg995 servos. Hopefully it has nothing to do with my traxxas servo, or rx.

I changed all the power settings back to normal in my Summit (I fiddled with those to try to make it perform crawler-ish) and it just works fine. Of course there is not that much power asked there compared with your trucks.
Besides a higher minimum speed, I have the same experience as Dad, smoother in the lower region.
Any chance that the source is anywhere else than the ESC? Motor(s)? Lipo(s)? Oh well, you must have checked that already.
Nobody is born with experience
The only thing that I have not verified by using multiple sources is the 4 pole 4600, but why would the esc act like it has bugs in the software because of a motor. And why does v1.26 work perfectly(minus the normal jumpy low end)??? The motor is the only constant in the mix though...and I dont have any other castle 4 poles right now except my 1512 1800kv, which is a 4-6c 1/8 buggy motor.
I leave the sensorless timing @ default 10°, and start power at default also. Any suggestions? I want good results like you guys!
The low end is super smooth with 1.39, but mid to high boggs and acts inconsistently with full throttle.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Does this fix the chatter off the line at light throttle then 5' later jump to a faster smooth speed? I have to drive to my inlaws house to use their pc. I bet they don't support mac's cause they are the "hipsters" computer and Stampede's are almost as dorky as building micro robots that follow a flashlight. Hmmm that sounds fun.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
The starting power glitch was also the matter in my Pede where I use a 2650Kv motor. I also had it in my Bandit with the 3800Kv, so the chance that the ESC/motor combo would cause it, would be ruled out IMHO.
The rest: ?
Nobody is born with experience
4600 in a mini summit I hope!
Its not the motor. I threw in my 3000kv cheap china motor with the same results.
Could it be the stock bec on all 3 escs?
I will also have to check to see if it is my traxxas 2075's. I have not ran the mg995 with the mmp's as I thought, just the 2075's
I will not be running til Sat. I will do the vid then.

I have been thinking about the BEC, but I have no idea what the exact problem would be. I have used the MMP in the Bandit with the 3800 without any problems. Maybe the timing setting is something to fiddle with. But to be honest, I have no clue.

It feels like a brownout, but only with the esc, the radio works just fine.

Mayors Criticize Obama Muni-Bond Tax Plan
WASHINGTON–U.S. mayors Thursday urged the Obama administration and Congress to drop a plan to tax at least a portion of interest paid to investors in the $3.7 trillion municipal-bond market.
President Barack Obama has advanced the idea, on the grounds that too much of the roughly $30 billion a year in forgone federal tax payments from a century-old interest exemption goes to higher-income households. House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) has signaled he too is willing to consider curbing the tax-exempt status of the bonds.

But members of the U.S. Conference of Mayors warned the muni market is a vital mechanism for financing schools, roads and other infrastructure projects that create jobs. Tweaking the tax exemption would make those projects more expensive, stymieing public projects.
"It is one of our top priorities," said Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter at a morning press conference. "We need the municipal bond market to be strong, we need to make sure that it is accessible to as many people as possible and that it not have caps in place which will only increase our borrowing costs and lessen the amount of money that we're able to put into projects."
The comments come as Mr. Obama and Republican leaders in Congress jostle over the coming months on tax and spending reform. State and local governments worry muni bonds could be targeted as part of that process.
Mr. Obama's proposal, floated in a 2011 jobs bill and again in a budget he released last year, would place a 28% cap on the tax exemption for interest earned on muni bonds. That means that a wealthy household–in a top tax bracket of 35%–with $100,000 in previously tax-free municipal-bond interest income would have to pay 7%, or $7,000, in tax on that interest.
The mayors said such a change would have a significant impact on the affordability of public financing. Interest rates offered by states and localities would rise to retain investors, decreasing the affordability of bond financing.
Charleston, S.C., Mayor Joseph Riley Jr., who also spoke at the press conference, said a $54 million bond his city recently issued would have been much less–about $43 million–had the federal government capped the tax exemption at 28%.
"If you bring the rate down you reduce the infrastructure investment and you raise the borrowing costs," he said.
Mayors also said they are concerned that any curb on the tax break would affect existing bond issues as well as new ones. Stephen Benjamin, mayor of Columbia, S.C., said such a change would signal a federal "divestment" from state and local infrastructure projects that would be borne by taxpayers across all income levels.
"The relationship between the federal government and municipalities over the last 100 years since the inception of the income tax has been sacrosanct and we need to make sure that we preserve it," he said.
Tax Breaks on Muni Bonds Draw Scrutiny

B UZZ: Hey, Marnie, the red wine I had last night was from 2012, but it said it was old right on the label. What gives?
Marnie: I bet you're talking about wine from old grapevines, Buzz. You were probably drinking a zinfandel from California - am I right?
Buzz: How did you know?
Marnie: Just an educated guess. Some wines are labeled with the phrase "old vines" or its equivalent in other languages, like the French "Vieilles Vignes." Your wine likely came from vineyards planted before the California wine boom got rolling in the 1970s. The vast majority of these are zinfandels.
