Every year since 2006, Republican leaders have joined some of the country's most notorious anti-gay, anti-choice activists and fringe conspiracy theorists at the Family Research Council's annual Values Voter Summit. This week's summit will be no different, as potential GOP presidential contenders rub elbows with people who want to deny First Amendment protections to Muslims, defend laws criminalizing homosexuality, and think President Obama used the health care reform law to raise a private army of Brownshirts. Don't be surprised if... MORE >

Two current Religious Right fixations — the "persecution" of American Christians and the need for conservatives to do more to influence the pop culture — have come together in movies like "Persecuted" and "We the People—Under Attack." The latest entry, "One Generation Away: The Erosion of Religious Liberty," was screened by Rick Santorum at the Heritage Foundation on Monday night. Santorum said the movie will be released in September. His EchoLight Cinemas is trying to create an alternative to Hollywood distribution... MORE >

Surprise! Yesterday, the same Republican politician who tried to save his foundering presidential campaign with a gay-baiting TV ad defended ex-gay therapy and compared homosexuality to alcohol abuse. Speaking at a summit in California, Texas Gov. Rick Perry responded to questions about the Texas Republican Party's endorsement of ex-gay therapy in its new far-right platform by arguing that homosexuality is like alcoholism: "Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that. I may have the genetic coding that I... MORE >
Jeffress: Once Gay Marriage Is The Law Of The Land, Government Will Shut Down Christian Radio Stations
SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Mantyla, Thursday 05/29/2014, 3:04pm
Robert Jeffress was a guest on the American Family Association's "Today's Issues" radio program yesterday where he warned that it is probably inevitable that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of marriage equality and when that day comes, the federal government will then set about shutting down any opposition to gay marriage by revoking the broadcasting licenses of Christian radio stations. "What about stations who have license that are granted by the FCC?," he asked. "Can the FCC support stations that engage in hate speech or intolerance or that... MORE >
'Washington - A Man Of Prayer': Highlights From The Religious Right Prayer Event Inside The US Capitol
SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Mantyla, Thursday 05/08/2014, 11:15am
Last night, members of Congress and Religious Right activists gathered in Statuary Hall inside the US Capitol for an annual event called "Washington: A Man of Prayer" at which they honored George Washington by collectively praying that God would protect and defend the United States of America. Hosted by Mike Huckabee, the two hour event featured a variety of elected leaders, such as Rep. Tim Huelskamp and Rep. Steve King, who spoke together from the podium. Huelskamp asserted that God is at the heart of America because there is a small chapel located literally in the very center of... MORE >

Fox News pundit Todd Starnes is outraged that TV shows these days include "families with two mommies or two daddies or a mommy who identifies as a daddy," arguing in a Charisma column today that the gay community is largely responsible for the rise of divorce and single parent households. Starnes interviewed Southern Baptist megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress, who told him that marriage equality for same-sex couples "is having devastating sociological effects" because "when you counter something, you cheapen its value." "The traditional nuclear family... MORE >

Robert Jeffress was interviewed yesterday about the decision by a federal judge striking down Texas' same-sex marriage ban. Not surprisingly, he did not agree with the ruling, declaring that there is no such thing as a constitutional right to marry, which is why siblings are not allow to marry one another. It was God who created the institution of marriage to be between one man and one woman, Jeffress stated, warning that America will not survive if it continues to condone "what God has condemned." "As an American," he said, "I also realize that no nation can... MORE >

My name is Sally Johnson
Welcome to:
Sally's Quilting Corner.
Hello Quilters I am here to share my quilting knowledge with you. Learn this art and all the techniques required for you to achieve any quilt design you may want to create...
Featured Author: Sally A. Johnson
Here's a little bit about me:
About Me:
National & International published quilt designer, teacher, quilter, lecturer, and supporter of local charities. I'm excited to share what I have learned with quilting and sewing and how to create beautiful works of art with easy to learn techniques. I have sewn for 40+ years and have quilted for since 2010. I am a Longtime supporter of Veterans Services.
I learned to sew from my mother and grandmother on their treadle machine. I studied Emergency Nursing and then transferred to Long Term Nursing Care. After 27+ years in the healthcare field I left full time nursing to take a break from the craziness of Corporate Healthcare to discover quilting and fell madly in love with it. The first quilt I made was published in an on line magazine called "The Quilt Pattern Magazine" December of 2012. Now three years later I am teaching, lecturing, and doing all things wonderful. And now the third place winner from Vermont Quilt Festival and First place winner at the Sinning Tides Quilt Guild.
In addition to publishing my own patterns, I design patterns for a couple of major quilt magazines. Like: American Quilter Magazine, Quilters Newsletter, and most recently I made the cover of Generation Q Magazine (September/October 2015).
I am a wife to a wonderful husband who has supported me in every way through my journey in sewing and quilting. I have two grown boys who are the light of my life...
I love learning and teaching, but more than that I love to put my own spin on my creative pursuits. I would love to meet you and your quilting group to share my talents and techniques.

After I flash'ed, and the xbox have shutdown. So when I start it again, I'll just get the same screen(To flash bios)... I have also try'ed to flahs with version 303, Same shit.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Sorry my bad english.
Posted 07 November 2008 - 08:14 PM
Ahhh. Just seen the problem. 1.6 Xboxes don't always like Flashbios 3.0.3........ OK, so if my first suggestion doesn't work then put the switches back to off-on-off-off-off, reboot to Flashbios 3.0.1, then use that Flashbios to put X3.3294.v1.6 onto X3 banks 1-4.

One thing, why is it difrend of 256k, 512k and 1mb? I know about size but...
Posted 09 November 2008 - 08:56 PM
So, boot to flashbios 3.0.1, then set the switches to on-on-off-off-off, and follow the instructions here to put bios X3.3294.v1.6 onto the first four banks of the X3 chip via http. Make a note of any error messages, and post them back here.
Posted 09 November 2008 - 09:12 PM
Posted 09 November 2008 - 09:57 PM
And, just to confirm, you are using X3.3294.v1.6 as the BIOS file?
Posted 09 November 2008 - 10:25 PM
Posted 10 November 2008 - 02:17 PM
When the light on excuter chip i green(Unprotected) I get "Flash Type: Read Only ???"....

I't doesn't happen that often in life that you get a second chance when you blew your first.

But...to put it shortly: I got my second chance to photograph the gorgeous waxwings under far better circumstances, yay!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful colours composition.
I'm wondering if you are using tripod. Your photos are so sharp and clear (but the ISO so high and not causing blurry spots?)..

We've been huge fans of anytime dining (called by different names on different lines) since the first time we encountered it. We never wait for a table, but I suspect that may be because we're in the top tier of the frequent sailor clubs on a number of lines, and I think that shows up on the computer when we give our room number. In any event, we're always taken at once to a table of whatever size our group happens to be that night.
We place no value whatever on having the same table and the same waiter every night. I'm perfectly capable of saying "iced tea please" each evening and I get no thrill about the waiter knowing that ahead of time. And of course, we consider set meal times a liability, not a benefit.
The flexibility of eating whenever the spirit moves you just can't be beat. Not just the obvious benefit, but the additional one of being able to eat with friends you've just met and hit it off with (a great many of whom--no surprise--also choose anytime dining).
It's clear that more and more people are going this route, and I imagine that, just like dress codes, eventually the forced seating times will be marginalized and may disappear.
There is no necessary connection between the desire to lead and the ability to lead, and even less the ability to lead somewhere that will be to the advantage of the led. --

Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is an early childhood–onset disorder with ichthyosis, mental retardation, spastic paraparesis, macular dystrophy, and leukoencephalopathy caused by the deficiency of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase due to mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene (the gene that encodes microsomal fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase). Cerebral proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in those with SLS demonstrates an abnormal white matter peak at 1.3 ppm, consistent with long-chain fatty alcohol accumulation.
To define the clinical course and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic findings of SLS in adults.
Design and Setting
Case series in a tertiary care center.
Six siblings of a consanguineous Arab family with early childhood–onset SLS who carry the 682C→T mutation in the ALDH3A2 gene were reinvestigated in adulthood.
The 6 affected siblings ranged in age from 16 to 36 years. All exhibited the typical clinical and imaging manifestations of SLS, but their severity markedly varied. Neurological involvement was apparently nonprogressive, and its severity showed no correlation with age. Cerebral proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed a lipid peak at 1.3 ppm, with decreasing intensity in the older siblings.
These observations document significant clinical variability and the nonprogressive neurological course of SLS in adult siblings with the same ALDH3A2 genotype, and demonstrate possible correlation of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic changes with age, suggesting unknown pathogenic mechanisms to compensate for the responsible biochemical defect in this disease.
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man 270200) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital ichthyosis, mental retardation, spastic paraparesis, and leukoencephalopathy.1 Additional manifestations include perimacular glistening white dots, photophobia, seizures, and the development of leg contractures. The neurological features of SLS appear in the first few years of life and then seem to stabilize.2 Most described patients have been children,2,3 and less is known about the long-term clinical course in adults.
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome is caused by mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene, which encodes microsomal fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase.1 Fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency results in impaired oxidation of long-chain fatty aldehydes to fatty acids. The consequent accumulation of fatty aldehyde precursors, including fatty alcohols, or the formation of aldehyde-modified macromolecules is postulated to affect the normal formation of multilamellar membranes in the stratum corneum and myelin, and to result in the symptoms.4 Cerebral proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in those with SLS demonstrates an abnormal white matter peak, consistent with long-chain fatty alcohol accumulation, that emerges in infancy and coincides with retarded myelination.3 Although the severity of the neurological deficit may vary among SLS patients, little is known about genotype-phenotype correlations in this disease.
To further define the clinical course of SLS in adults and to determine the phenotypic variation among siblings, we investigated a large multiplex SLS family.
Early clinical and computed tomographic imaging results in 6 affected siblings of a consanguineous Arab SLS family were previously published.5 The diagnosis was subsequently confirmed by finding reduced fibroblast fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase activity (4% of normal) in the proband and genetic linkage to chromosome 17p11.26 with identification of the 682C→T missense mutation in the ALDH3A2 gene.7 Homozygosity for 682C→T has been reconfirmed in all 6 patients using polymerase chain reaction amplification of exon 5 with the reported primers and digestion by the restriction enzyme NsiI.7
Patients were reexamined using clinical and functional scoring, as published.2 Informed consent from the patients or the legal guardian was obtained. Performance on standard intelligence tests was integrated with school and communication skills for the estimation of mental retardation, defined as mild for an IQ of 55 to 69 and borderline for an IQ of 70 to 79.2 The ocular examination included measurement of best-corrected Snellen visual acuity, refraction, slitlamp biomicroscopy, and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Color vision was assessed using the Ishihara 38-plate test and the Farnsworth D-15 dichotomous test. Three patients were also examined with full-field electroretinography according to the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision standards using corneal Burian-Allen electrodes and a computerized system (UTAS 3000; LKC Technologies, Gaithersburg, Md); rod, cone, and element cone-rod responses were recorded. Peripheral nerve conduction study of the peroneal and sural nerves was performed in 5 patients. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging was done on a 1.5-T unit; axial and sagittal images were obtained with T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences. The 1H-MRS was performed on a 3.4-mL volume of interest placed in the periventricular white matter with the maximal signal abnormality and in the basal ganglia using the PRESS sequence with echo times of 36 and 135 milliseconds and a repetition time of 1500 milliseconds. Spectra were specifically evaluated for the narrow peak at 1.3 ppm,3 and relative peak intensity ratios of the metabolites were calculated.
The 6 affected siblings ranged in age from 16 to 36 years. All exhibited the major clinical features of SLS, but their severity varied (Table). Ichthyosis was generalized in distribution, and was most prominent over the trunk and extremities, but spared the head, palms, and soles. Although all patients exhibited spastic paraparesis, they differed in their ability to ambulate. Patients 1 and 2 also had mild hyperreflexia in the arms, and patients 2, 3, and 4 displayed an inappropriate emotional response, but none had seizures or signs of peripheral nerve involvement. The severity of cutaneous and neurological manifestations showed no apparent correlation with age. The number of macular glistening white dots tended to be higher in the older patients. This generally correlated with a decrease in visual acuity, suggesting progressive macular dysfunction. In contrast, the results of full-field electroretinography were normal, even in the oldest sibling, indicating that the extramacular retinal function remains preserved.
Consistent with the clinical findings, all 4 siblings studied by MR imaging had symmetric cerebral white matter abnormalities, but their extent, distribution, and pattern varied (Table). Patchy T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery signal hyperintensities were observed in patient 3, whereas confluent lesions were present in patients 1, 4, and 6 and tended to correlate with their functional disability. Subcortical U fibers, cerebral gray matter, ventricular size, and the cerebellum seemed unaffected. The most significant 1H-MRS finding was the presence of a prominent sharp lipid peak at 1.3 ppm in the affected cerebral white matter, with a decreasing lipid-creatine ratio in the older siblings (Table). This peak was visible at a short echo time in all the studies, but not at a long echo time in the 2 oldest siblings. A smaller peak at 0.9 ppm3 was also seen, and basal ganglia spectra were normal. Other metabolites seen on 1H-MRS did not correlate with age.
Comparison of the current clinical status with the more qualitative data 11 years earlier5 showed a similar distribution of the neurological deficit in individual patients and no apparent deterioration. All subjects reside in one village and consume a diet customary to their community.
To our knowledge, this is the largest described family with genetically confirmed SLS, and it provides a unique opportunity to define the intrafamilial clinical variation, particularly in adults. A previous study5 of this family in 1987, before the genetic defect in SLS was discovered, had a paucity of clinical information and used older imaging techniques. Therefore, longitudinal comparisons of the natural history of SLS in this family are limited. Several conclusions, however, may be drawn from these studies.
First, the neurological involvement in our adult SLS patients, based on physical examination, is apparently nonprogressive, and its severity does not correlate with age. Although slow progression remains a possibility, prior observations in children with SLS tend to support this conclusion.2,3 In this aspect, SLS could superficially resemble forms of cerebral palsy or other static encephalopathies of childhood.8 Obviously, most of the clinical and MR imaging disease burden in those with SLS is attained early in life. This may be the result of selective vulnerability of the brain to lipid abnormalities during myelin maturation.9
Second, phenotypic variation, even among siblings, may be significant. Despite identical ALDH3A2 genotypes and apparently similar environmental exposures and diets, the affected siblings differed in the severity of cutaneous disease, neurological impairment, and brain imaging results. Most mutations in SLS are private,10 and there are few studies comparing the clinical disease among patients with the same ALDH3A2 genotype, either within or across kindreds. The clinical variation seen in our family suggests that additional unknown genetic or environmental factors exist to compensate for the responsible biochemical defect.2 Furthermore, distinct pathogenic mechanisms may act in different tissues to account for the discordance between cutaneous and neurological involvement and for the progressive macular dystrophy.1
Third, the intensity of the cerebral 1H-MRS white matter lipid peak at 1.3 ppm was inversely correlated with the age of the siblings. Although this signal may fluctuate in intensity11 and we have no serial 1H-MRS data on individual patients or statistical confirmation, the decrease in the 1.3-ppm peak among older siblings was striking. Moreover, review of the published cerebral 1H-MRS data in a large series of SLS patients reveals a similar trend that was not previously noted.3 Because this peak is highly characteristic of SLS and probably represents accumulation of fatty alcohols or their metabolites beginning in infancy,3 it is tempting to speculate that its decline in adults reflects decreasing levels of the same lipids, indicating reduced activity of the disease. That the peak was not seen at a long echo time in the 2 oldest siblings is probably due to its low intensity. It is unlikely that the decrease in the lipid peak reflects progressive loss of myelin, because there was no apparent worsening of the MR imaging findings in the older siblings or of neurological symptoms with age.
The new observations in our SLS family suggest that the clinical course in some adults may reveal previously unknown pathogenic mechanisms of this disease.

Chisora Makes a Bet; Haye Fight Referee is Switched
By Kevin Francis, courtesy of The Daily Star
DERECK CHISORA has challenged arch-rival David Haye to a £20,000 side bet ahead of their grudge match at West Ham on Saturday.
They meet in the ring to finally settle their differences after months of controversy following their infamous press conference clash in Munich.
Now Chisora wants his favourite charity, Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, to benefit if he triumphs.
He said: "It will be great to see the kids' charity receive a £20,000 boost when I finally prove who has the stronger chin."
And Chisora has promised an early finish to the eagerly-awaited contest, saying: "I will be at my craziest.
"I am excited by the fight. I am going to be the craziest I have ever come into the ring.
"Me and David are going to give the fans a great fight. We're two forward fighters and it will be a great night."
Opponent Haye, though, is hoping that Chisora isn't too crazy in front of more than 30,000 fans at Upton Park.
The pair were involved in a press room brawl after Chisora was beaten by WBC world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in Munich in February.
Chisora threatened to have Haye shot as the pair traded blows at a post-fight press conference that descended into complete chaos.
It was the end of a week of mayhem in which 28-year-old Londoner Chisora had slapped Klitschko in the face at their big fight weigh-in.
Then, before the first bell, Chisora sipped water from a bottle and spat it in the face of Vitali's brother, multiple world champion Wladimir.
Haye said yesterday: "He does some weird things and I will keep away from him until that first bell because it's only after that I get paid for punching."
Meanwhile, angry Mickey Vann has hit out after being KO'd as the big fight referee following complaints from the Haye camp.
Vann has been replaced by Puerto Rican Louis Pabon after Haye's manager Adam Booth objected, saying: "There's no way that a 68-year-old featherweight should be in charge. This is a fight between two aggressive heavyweights, with a known grudge, in a fight that will get ugly."
But Vann blasted: "I'm angry about this. I am now judging it but, to be honest, Louis Pabon is a weak referee.
"He can probably only speak about 10 words of English.
"To have a referee who has only a small understanding of English isn't right.
"It will be a tough fight where the boxers will need talking to."
Vann retired from the British ring at the end of 2008 due to the British Boxing Board of Control regulation which states over-65s can no longer referee.
However, he can referee international contests and is still used as a judge by some of boxing's world bodies
Confirmation that ref is Haye's choice: [QUOTE]Haye insisted Puerto Rican referee Luis Pabon is equipped to deal with any erratic behaviour from Chisora. "We've got a good referee who won't stand for any foolishness and I'm confident he will handle…Comment by bigtomb on 07-12-2012

Dr. Mendel Stromm is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character has also been known as Robot Master and Gaunt.
Publication history[edit]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2014)
Stromm first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #37 (June 1966), and was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
Fictional character biography[edit]
Mendel Stromm was Norman Osborn's college professor and later became a partner in OsCorp Industries. His early research was on a chemical that would provide enhanced strength in its test subjects and would eventually turn Osborn into the Green Goblin. Osborn, wanting the formula for himself, discovered that Stromm had been embezzling funds from OsCorp. Stromm explained that he was merely borrowing but Osborn turned him over to the police. After several years in prison, Stromm was released and tried to kill Osborn for revenge using evil robots. He was stopped by Spider-Man and seemingly died of a heart attack when he was nearly shot.[1]
Stromm had made plans for his death, however, by arranging to have his brain waves transferred to a robot double. Now calling himself "Robot Master", Stromm returned in Spectacular Spider-Man #68 (July 1982). Spider-Man defeated and destroyed the robot double.[2]
In Spectacular Spider-Man #233 (April 1996), Stromm returned again, this time as a cyborg called "Gaunt". It was revealed that he survived through a cybernetic suit fused to his body - attached by none other than Osborn.[3] Osborn had discovered that Stromm had survived his heart attack thanks to the Goblin Serum, but on a level of consciousness supported only by his suit. Eventually, via Seward Trainer, he was cured of his need for the suit and came back in a large suit of robotic armor,[4] only for it to be destroyed by Ben Reilly and Peter Parker despite Stromm's attempt to defeat them both with two flying robots and three childlike androids attacking simultaneously.[5] Shortly afterward, Norman Osborn knocked him out with a laser blast and left him for dead, though he survived and only had amnesia.[6] He came back in yet another robot suit, only to be stopped by Spider-Man once again.[7]
In Peter Parker: Spider-Man vol. 2, #27 (March 2001), Stromm tried to create a sentient robot to kill Osborn, but it turned on him and destroyed his body, keeping his severed head alive.[volume & issue needed] This artificial intelligence then attempted to take over New York City's electrical grid, but was stopped when Spider-Man fought his way into its core processor and uploaded a computer virus into it, putting both the A. I. and Mendel into a comatose state.[8]
The artificial intelligence took over Electro's body and tried to use his powers to create a horde of self spawning robots,[volume & issue needed] but after the interference of Spider-Man the AI altered Spidey's spider sense, after which Spider-Man defeated the AI.[volume & issue needed]
In Penance: Relentless #1 (2007), it is revealed that Spider-Man tipped S.H.I.E.L.D. off to Stromm's whereabouts and that they were able to rescue him from the suspended loop he was stuck in. He eagerly registered as part of the Initiative.[volume & issue needed]
Later, Penance goes AWOL on the Thunderbolts and stages an assault on Stromm's home, threatening to kill him unless Stromm tells him how to activate nuclear launch codes Penance has stolen in a bid to get Nitro deported from Latveria.[9]
During the Civil War II storyline, Mendel Stromm meets Clash at the henchman bar called Moynihan's Social Club during its happy hour. He gives Clash an offer to work for him in his plan to get revenge on Harry Osborn.[10]
Other versions[edit]
Ultimate Marvel[edit]
Although Mendel Stromm doesn't have an Ultimate Marvel incarnation, elements of his character are amalgamated into Doctor Octopus's Ultimate Marvel incarnation.
Spider-Verse (2015)[edit]
During the Secret Wars storyline, a version of Mendel Stromm resides in the Battleworld domain of Arachnia. He appears as one of the Oscorp scientists where they are attempting to decipher the Web of Life and Destiny.[11]
In other media[edit]
- Mendel Stromm appears in the 2002 Spider-Man film, played by Ron Perkins. This version is a scientist employed by Oscorp to develop Human Performance Enhancers, although he expresses doubts in the Enhancers' effectiveness because the initial mouse test subjects having demonstrated violent insanity. Despite his doubts, he assists Norman Osborn in his attempt to use the still-unstable serum on himself. After acquiring his powers, Osborn's resulting 'Green Goblin' personality kills Stromm by grabbing him by the throat and hurling him through a glass window into some lab equipment.
- Mendel Stromm's role was parodied in 2008's Superhero Movie under the name of "Dr. Strom", played by Brent Spiner.
Video games[edit]
- Mendel Stromm appears in the Spider-Man video game, voiced by Peter Lurie.
- In Spider-Man: Edge of Time, there's a newspapers about Mendel Stromm in both timelines.
- Mendel Stromm appears in The Amazing Spider-Man video game (based on film of the same name), but his voice actor was uncredited. He is an Oscorp scientist who is responsible for a cross-species experiment codenamed "Nattie" (based on Curt Connors's research) which is a red-bellied piranha/human hybrid where Mendel and the scientists with him injected human DNA into a red-bellied piranha. Mendel Stromm named it Nattie due to the subject's scientific name of Pygocentrus nattereri.[12] In the game, Mendel Stromm is among the scientists infected by the Cross-Species Virus. When the Cross-Species Virus starts to take over Mendel's body, one of Alistair Smythe's Combat Sentries detects Mendel and attacks him.

Tucker Lee's job is all about connecting.
As student body president at West Texas A&M University, Lee, a senior business management major, is the primary link between students and administrators, faculty and staff.
Elected in the spring, Tucker's term runs through May, when he plans to graduate.
Q: Why did you pursue the role of student body president?
A: When I served as the student body chief justice last year, I worked on a daily basis with last year's president.
Several people suggested that I run, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I could not pass up.
Q: What is your favorite part of the job?
A: I get a chance to meet different people from all different walks of life who I probably would not have had the opportunity to meet otherwise.
Q: What goals do you have for this year?
A: Our university is going through a large number of changes, and I want to work with the administration to make sure all of our students needs are being met.
I would also like to see more students get involved in activities outside of the classroom.
Q: What challenges do you face?
A: My biggest challenge is trying to meet the needs of students so that the entire student body benefits.
Q: What do you think sets WT apart as a university?
A: WT has a great community environment where students and faculty have the opportunity to get to know a large number of people on a personal basis more so than at a larger institution.
We also have very unique spirit and tradition you will not find anywhere else.

The front support also broke but hot glue worked for that. I took it out to a field but it was a little to windy. The wind would carry it away fast but fight me when trying to turn it around and I would end up crashing it. Not really sure of any indoor areas I could use. Most places won't let you just walk into a gym. The rudder busted on me this morning. After its fixed I won't try to fly inside anymore. Only outside if its completely calm. I still regret buying it. I think if someone just wants something to goof around with inside the mcx heli seems to be a much better choice and more durable.
I'm doing ok on a flight sim. I can do landings and loops on a few planes.
The aero ace is long retired. Anything else from air hogs looks like junk. Why in the world would they quit making this wonderful item (fwir) in favor of the other stuff?

Best example: During last student's March break, had to go to a Windows 7 course for 3 days in a college. Since I got lucky before (as I said, always ask first!), I did bring my Sukhoi and my Mustang with me, just in case! (I can fly my Vapor anytime at work so I didn't bring that one with me, since we do have a room large enough!). During our first break, I went to the gym (huge one!!!), and ask the guy in charge of the equipement if I could fly some micro planes in it. The guy happen to be an old RC pilot who had not flown for years, so he quickly said yes! After that, I flew every lunch hours and even every breaks for 3 days. Indoor flying with the Mustang is not exactly common as it's a fast plane... That guy always showed up during my flying session and even was looking forward to it. Sadly, this gym is taken from 8:00 am to 11:00pm most of the time, but the guy told me that during Chrismas time and summer time, I could come back anytime.

The problem is that for 3 channels or more, RTF and ARF non-tractors seem to be designed to need lots and lots of room (more than what I have).
An example is the Multiplex Easy-star, which I have been told takes a soccer field (or several?) to fly.
The closest ARF that I can think of is the Superfly and its siblings, and even with those, adding a rudder helps with slow speeds (which is good for beginners in small areas).
Beyond the modded Superfly, I think one needs to scratch-build a pusher or mid-motor plane to get one to fly slowly in a small area (what I ended-up doing).
Some planes that seem to fit this: Frog (you buy the plans), Blu-beagle, Firefly
(like a Superfly w/rudder), SFO (variant with rudder). The Firefly and SFO are built with EPP (as is the Superfly).
For 2-channel, I do figure 8's in a 15x20 foot room with an Air Hogs Cyclone (mid-motor) or Avenger (ornithopter: no prop to break!),
aka Silverlit Stingray and iBird/iWing.

At 5-11, 199, Chicago Bears safety Brock Vereen might be viewed as slightly undersized for an NFL secondary player, but in his view, it's all about timing.
"I know I don't measure up as large as some of the guys playing in the secondary in the NFL," Vereen said today after being selected in the fourth round, "so to compensate for that I've always studied timing, both my own and that of the guys I'd be going up against. In my view, timing is everything. I spend hours on film study seeing what other guys I'll be facing do when they are going for the ball. It helps me play big although my actual physical size might be smaller."
His older brother, Shane, is currently a running back for the New England Patriots, while his father, Henry, was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the ninth round of the 1979 draft. Brock feels his family pedigree gives him an edge over others playing at his level.
"I've had an insider's perspective for years," Vereen said. "I've always listened carefully to whatever my brother and father have said about playing football. I've felt that knowledge, that experience, has given me a distinct advantage in grade school, high school, and now college ball. I've learned from their experiences so not much has been a surprise to me. That's a good way to be heading into this new experience in the NFL."
Draft pundits have mentioned Vereen's intelligence, work ethic and speed, while also citing his impressive stats at the recent NFL Scouting Combine. He performed 25 repetitions on the 225 lb bench press, the best for any corner or safety at the 2014 event.
"I worked hard for those results," Vereen sasid. "The University of Minnesota has a well-established weight lifting program that I participated in constantly. That gave me good numbers when that part of the combine came up. Lets face it, I have short legs, short arms. I have to maximize what I am best at and go with those skills. So far the results have been good from that approach."
In Vereen's final season, he earned All-Big Ten recognition. He had 13 starts at free safety and delivered 59 tackles, picked off one pass and deflected six others. Vereen played at both corner and safety in 2013, switching to corner after the first six weeks.
"My defensive backs coach asked if I would feel comfortable making that position change," Vereen said. "I said 'sure' and it all worked out pretty well from there. It was really kind of simple to make the switch. In either position I was facing some pretty big Big Ten guys."
Vereen is counting the days until the Bears face the Patriots in 2014.
"I called Shane and kidded him about that right after I was picked by Chicago," Vereen said. "It might cause some friendly competition within our family, but that's nothing we haven't experienced before."
Beth Gorr has been covering the Bears for the last 12 years and is the author of Bear Memories: The Chicago-Green Bay Rivalry. She is currently working on a second book about early Bears history.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Idle Rocks St Mawes
A wonderful setting
What a lovely setting the Idle Rocks hotel has, perched above the harbour/beach in St Mawes. We stayed for 2 nights in April 2005 on a special deal booked directly with the hotel.
we had a room at the back of the hotel (this was a mistake, next time we will have a sea view room) which was comfortable. we also looked at the premier rooms which are lovely with little balconettes.
we could not fault the food in the restaurant at breakfast or dinner, and the service was excellent. we had coffee in the lounge and they even lit the fire for us.
we took our dog with us and she was made very welcome and was allowed in the lounge.
note that parking is in the public car park 100 yards away.
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was great value and we will be returning!
Wonderful home made bread!
Staff wery very friendly and obliging at all times. A good base to explore Cornwall, a picturesque fishing village. Very nicely refurbished dining room and breakfast cooked freshly, not a buffett. A huge choice of gorgeous home made breads. Would definately recommend it. Oh & almost forgot very comfortable beds! Got our thumbs up for that so often you get poor beds in hotels.
Luxury Weekend Break
We had a lovely weekend break at the Idle Rocks. Our room was one of those in the cottage - delightfully set out with two easy chairs by the casement window, below which the tide lapped. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space.
The bathroom was large and very good, having a separate shower and whirlpool bath. Nice toiletries.
The restaurant was also very good, with friendly and attentive staff. However our meal on the second night seemed a lot more substantial than on the first. There was lots of choice for breakfast, though disappointingly the smoked trout was not available on the last morning.
We had an off-season dinner, bed and breakfast deal, which we thought was good value, but the rack rate for high season seems very expensive to me.
St Mawes is a nice little village, with some shops worthy of a bigger place.
Excellent February mini break
We have just returned from a mini break at the Idle rocks Hotel at St. Mawes and it was a truly lovely experience.
The food was excellent and the staff extremely courteous and helpful.
The location was just on the beach and the hotel had views of the harbour. The hotel looked to have been newly decorated and certainly the restaurant was very spacious and well presented - in the style of ocean liner dinning. The food was wonderful.
The short ferry trip to Falmouth was nice (about 15 mins) but there is not too much to recommend Falmouth itself (from a holiday makers point of view).
The hotel has excellent views over the small port and I woould recommend the break to anyone - we shall be returning.
Pure indulgance
A thoroughly delightful hotel, the staff were the friendliest we have ever come across, and the views from our room was nothing short of breathtaking. After reading Paddy Burts review of the food, we were a little hesitant, but I am glad to say it was one of the finest meals we have ever had with service to match. This truly is a jewell in the crown of Cornwall and we WILL be returning
Christmas Break
What a superb Christmas break! I'd read a few reviews on this hotel and was a bit apprehensive before arriving but this feeling soon evaporated. We were made extemely welcome by a very professional team of personnel, from the hotel manager to the waitresses in the restaurant. Our room was extremely comfortable with a wonderful view over the harbour. The food was superb - they currently have 2 AA rosettes and are clearly aiming for a 3rd. The cooking is simple - the chef relies on quality and extremely fresh produce. Whilst the prices at first seemed rather high, when balanced against what you received, the Idlerocks Hotel was extremely good value for money. I wouldn't hestitate to return!
Food for thought
The room, staff,location were all perfect...but!! Oh my the food (gourmet) as the Head Man pointed out not pub food - leaving us feeling a little less than worth our space...
The Menu was disappointing; food excelent quality but not our thing exactly. Very repeatative and quite uninteresting apart from the puddings....scrumptious if a little different. A case of nice place, restaurant needs a little variety and tolerence..
We would stay again, but only B&B
Great situation,pity about the food
Wish I had read Paddy Burt's review prior to eating. Unimaginative, and poorly presented.
Great location
The Idle Rocks Hotel is in a great spot, right on the small beach/harbour of St Mawes. The sea view room we had was spacious, quiet, spotless and had tasteful decor (touch chinzty perhaps) and wonderfully powerful shower and spa bath. The breakfast (included in the price) offered a wide choice - haddock to full english to porridge. The dinner was well presented and tasty although the staff were perhaps not quite in league with the level of cuisine - frienddly all the same mind. Note too that if you book a table by the window, this does not mean you will actually get a table by the window - unless one is vacated at the right time.The hotel is currently undergoing some construction (of which we were not aware at the time of booking, one week before our stay!) - rebuilding the restaurant and extra 6 rooms which should be nice when its completed (June 2003).If you are travelling by public transport, it is probably easiest to get the train to Truro and bus from bus station to St Mawes (1.5 hour journey). If travelling by car there is no car park, but a public one opposite for which you will be refunded.
Is one of the most beautifull places I've ever been. The food is excellent with the pretiest views while you having dinnner.
And the rooms is like you where at home.
Best regards

Imagine a major city where 35 percent of all traffic is people on bikes. Or think even bigger--an entire nation where 27 percent of all trips are pedal-powered.

Scotland and Catalonia are brothers in arms. Independence movement leaders in the two places communicate regularly. On September 18, when Scotland voted on uncoupling from the United Kingdom, Catalans were on hand. When Catalonia votes on independence, a vote originally scheduled for November 9th but delayed pending a court decision, Scots will certainly be there.
Egleston Square is a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, straddling the borders of Roxbury and Jamaica Plain (JP) in the city of Boston. High condo prices and even higher rents are pushing long-term residents, to move elsewhere. This churning of the real estate market, to be expected in a profit-maximizing system, dissolves community and acerbates race and class divides. It is now common to hear of talk of "Two JPs"-– one prosperous, highly educated, professional and largely White, and another struggling, working class, mainly immigrant and Hispanic.

From a distance, Jim Myers looks like an ordinary farmer. Most autumn mornings, he stands thigh-deep in a field of wet broccoli, beheading each plant with a single, sure swipe of his harvest knife. But under his waders are office clothes, and on his wrist is an oversized digital watch with a push-button calculator on its face. As his hand cuts, his eyes record data: stalk length and floret shape, the purple hue of perfect heads and the silver specks that foretell rot. At day's end his broccoli goes to the food bank or the compost bin—it doesn't really matter.
Carolyn Raffensperger, an environmental lawyer and public health advocate, is one of the America's leading proponents of the Precautionary Principle.

The first wave of new sovereign states came with the decolonization movement of the 1960s and 1970s; the second in the early 1990s with the break-up of the Soviet Union.
