Watching the smile light your face …

Thanks to Invisible Children for tweeting today's quote this weekend.

Celebrating World Smile Day 😀 😀 😀
I thought it was World Smile Day today by this source. But looks like it could have been Friday Oct. 4. Dang it, I COULD have been smiling all weekend long! Rats!
No matter what the date, it's always World Smile Day where David Archuleta and his international fans are concerned! Just think of David, and you naturally smile outwardly or inwardly. Or both!
Try it.
So I googled David Archuleta smile and got some awesome pictures. All of them you have probably seen here or elsewhere, but I thought I'll share six screens full of smiles from David: some large, broad and accompanied by a hearty laugh, some subtle and shy. All of them genuine and oh-so-miss-worthy!
You better click on them to make them big! I'm going to intersperse some of my faves inbetween these screencaptures.
And Sirinity wrote in yesterday and was kind enough to share this lovely picture of David (I don't recognize it). It holds a special place to Sirinity so we saved it for our final smile picture today. Isn't it great? Thanks for sharing Sirinity!
David smiling, around the world. Literally!
Take a look at some of the images from David's country stops around the world. I have a feeling there will be many more in the future!
And I thought I would add some great tribute vids focused on smiles. The first is from ohnopurple. This is stunning.
Love this fun one too. Credit to brucileh17
Got a tissue? You may need it. Credit sdb66
… and a few smiley tweets
Ahhh … it all makes so much sense now.
Is there a go-to David smile pic or vid that makes YOU smile? Feel free to add your favourite to comments today. Or tweet us at @FODfansofdavid. Link us!
And share YOUR smile with the world today!
ED. UPDATE at 11 am EDT. We heard from you!!! Here are a few more of your favourite SMILES!
From @pocoelsy1
From Sam (ohnopurple tumblr)
I'll post more today or tomorrow as you send them in!

This date in Archu-History!
October seemed to be the month of announcements. Read on …
Five Years ago!
New Blog
Hey guys! Hope everything's been going well with everyone. Things have been CRAZY the last week or so, but it's been soooo much fun. I've mainly been writing (!!!) and recording, trying to wrap things up here for the album. I have a couple of pictures here from in the studio! Haha. I mentioned in my mobile message (801.386.8196) a little about writing, but I'm just going to say again how much I love it! It's been so exciting, being able to write with different writers and learn so much from them. I remember a while back when I first had writing sessions with other people, and I was pretty nervous and frozen, but now I've been able to open up and just throw around ideas. Haha. A lot of ideas may even be really lame, haha, but when you just sing a weird line or melody it can spark ideas for who you're writing with. So, if you're trying to decide what to do one day, you should write! Haha
Another thing I just wanted to say since I haven't had a chance to say something in a while is THANK YOU!!! I can't believe how well the video for "Crush" has done so far, and I'm so glad to hear you guys like it. It blew my mind again to see that it was #1 on iTunes, and I have just really appreciated how supportive everyone has been. I've really missed seeing everyone on tour too, haha. It was fun talking to everyone and hearing what you had to say, so I love looking at the comments posted online and the voice messages crack me up! Oh my heck, haha, I love 'em. But anyway, thanks again so much! I'm doing my best to make this album for you guys, and it's been a lot of fun!
And a picture from the Disneyland birthday bash for Miley Cyrus …
From Four Years Ago: Voice message from David
Oct. 7th 2009! I remember how amazing this was!!! David was announcing an amazing gift of music to come!
And we had the infamous Puffy-Cheeks-B-Gone vid! Love all the excitement here. In his own words:
"I gave up on the last blog, so I just made a new one. My cheeks are finally back to normal! I've had a nice time recovering though and relaxing. Went to the Colbie Caillat concert! Was awesome getting to see her again. She's one of the nicest, casually cool people you could meet. Been exercising and getting back in shape! Going to Nashville for the week to start working on some writing and new projects. Christmas album comes out October 13th! Next week! woot woot"
Loved the exercise mention. More coming this week from #DA2014Fitclub!

Assessment of Symptom-Related Cytokines in Lung and Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancer Patients

- How to Read a Study Record
Primary Objectives:
- To determine the feasibility of a study that would describe changes of certain circulating inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1, 6, 8, 10, 12, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF] and symptoms related to chemoradiation therapy (pre-therapy, during therapy and up to 3 months post-therapy) among patients with lung, esophageal, gastric, colorectal and anal cancer.
- To determine the feasibility of studying neurocognitive function in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at presentation and during chemoradiation therapy to determine the prevalence, severity, and pattern of cognitive symptoms.
|Anal Cancer Colorectal Cancer Esophageal Cancer Gastric Cancer Lung Cancer
|Behavioral: Questionnaire
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Feasibility Study of the Assessment of Symptom-Related Cytokines in Lung and GI Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemoradiation Therapy
- Patient Symptom Assessment (Questionnaire) [ Time Frame: Weekly for 1-3 months post-therapy ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
|Study Start Date:
|November 2002
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Symptom-Related Cytokines Questionnaire
Behavioral: Questionnaire
Weekly questionnaires lasting about 30 minutes.
Other Name: Survey
Detailed Description:
One of the ways to learn about the symptoms of chemoradiation therapy is by looking at how certain proteins called cytokines (found in the blood) change during therapy. Another way is to look at how thinking and memory may be changed because of treatment.
Before therapy starts, you will be asked to complete several questionnaires during a visit to the Radiation Oncology clinic at M. D. Anderson. These questionnaires measure physical and emotional symptoms. These questionnaires should take about 30 minutes to finish. Lung cancer patients will also complete some cognitive (mental) questionnaires. During this visit, the research nurse will teach you how to use the telephone system for measuring symptoms. You will tell the system the most convenient times for the telephone calls. The date of the call will be at the same or close to the date of your weekly clinic visit.
Before you begin your chemoradiation treatments, you will have a sample of blood drawn (around 2½ tablespoons). The sample of blood will be used to measure levels of cytokines in your blood pre treatment.
You will have about 2½ tablespoons of blood drawn again when you start chemoradiation, and then once a week while you are receiving treatment. These cytokines may be related to symptoms experienced while having treatment for cancer. These blood tests are being done to study the levels of cytokines in your blood during, and after treatment for cancer.
Symptoms will be monitored weekly using an interactive voice response telephone system. During chemoradiation, the automated telephone system will call you once a week to ask you to rate your symptoms and how much the symptoms interfere in your daily life. The information collected by these calls is only being used for this research study.
At the end of the chemoradiation, lung cancer patients will again be given questionnaires to measure cognitive symptoms.
For lung cancer patients who are post-chemotherapy, your symptoms will be monitored weekly for 3 months after therapy using the interactive voice response telephone system. For esophageal, gastric, colorectal, and anal patients who are post-therapy, your symptoms will be monitored weekly for 6 weeks after therapy using the interactive voice response telephone system. About 30 days after chemoradiation, you will have 2½ tablespoons of blood drawn at your regularly scheduled clinic visit. If you are not scheduled for a 3 month clinic visit, we will contact your local physician for blood lab results.
This is an investigational study. About 225 evaluable patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients scheduled for chemoradiation therapy at MDACC.

November 2010
Our neighboring construction work site is FINALLY done!
A few days ago, the entire construction scaffolding was finally dismantled!
The drilling, hammering, and sawing were often as reliable as any alarm clock…
That's ALL over now!
When you stand at the beginning of the Wolfengasse alley, you won't have to expect a "dark tunnel" anymore, but a brightly-lit pathway that would lead you straight towards your Hotel AUSTRIA!
Our guests are truly professional photographers!
The heads of our jury of experts had an exceedingly difficult time.
We did not know how many professional photographers there were among our guests!
The quality of the photos was first-class! Brightness, picture sharpness, choice of motif – everything was just done professionally!
Our judges have therefore selected this photo which has emotionally appealed to us the most:
This photo was taken by Gideon Rossouw, from Great Britain.
The 2nd and 3rd places of honor went to:
Christine and Walter Graf, from Switzerland David Genereux from the USA
Our winner has selected "pure classical" - the concert at Schoenbrunn Palace.
Our most heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Rossouw!
It's actually very easy to see and read our newsletter with pictures and most of all, with its incomparable layout!
From your numerous entries for our trivia contest, we still keep seeing that there are still a lot of guests who receive our newsletters only in "Text Format": no informative photos, no appealing lay-out, and most of all, no emotionally-touching images – which can convey so much!
It's just a few clicks away to a whole new newsletter-world!
Current HAPPENINGS / EVENTS in Vienna in November 2010
Interested in music, theater, the opera, museums, or exhibitions?
We'll be happy to keep you informed about all the dates / schedules and perhaps even let you in on a few secrets too…
Michelangelo in Vienna
Starting in October, the Albertina will present the first major Michelangelo exhibition in more than twenty years. A collection of 120 of the most valuable drawings will be on display.
"Michelangelo. The Drawings of a Genius" is the title of the exhibition at the Albertina. The show centers around the drawings of human figures by the Tuscan master Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). The presented works range from the earliest preserved drawings and the twelve designs for the wall painting "The Battle of Cascina" to the drafts for the world-famous frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Paintings and reliefs created after designs by Michelangelo will also be on display.
A special exhibit: a letter by Michelangelo in sonnet form to his lover Giovanni da Pistoia, in which the artist describes the strenuous work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The presentation of the show will have a new element: The ceiling frescoes of the Sistine Chapel will be projected inside the Albertina.
Oct. 8, 2010 - Jan. 9, 2011 Daily 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wed. 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Visitors under 19: free admission
Hans von Aachen: Painter of the Emperor
From October to January, the Museum of Fine Arts is showing the first exhibition ever to comprehensively present the full works of imperial court painter, Hans von Aachen.
Hans von Aachen (1552-1615) started out as a painter of portraits and everyday scenes. While on his extensive travels, he achieved his greatest recognition as the portrait painter of the Medici in Florence. The highpoint of his career was reached when he was appointed to the Prague Court by Emperor Rudolf II in 1596.
The Museum of Fine Arts is now showing the first exhibition ever to present the full works of the artist, with the different facets of his times in Italy, Germany and at the Prague Court. The show includes about 45 portraits, 30 drawings and 25 prints. Pictures with allegorical and mythological subjects are amongst von Aachen's most important works. Many of them can be seen in the Museum of Fine Arts alongside portraits of Emperor Rudolf II and other Hapsburgs.
Stylistically, Hans von Aachen is difficult to categorize. But that is what makes him so interesting. His pluralism of style, marked by Dutch realism, Roman mannerism and others, stands for the prevailing transfer of European culture at that time. His many travels perfected this style.
19 October 2010 - 9 January 2011 Tu-Su 10.00 am - 6.00 pm, Th 10.00 am - 9.00 pm

The gold of the Inca
Ninety valuable gold exhibits from the legendary time of the Inca will be on display at an exhibition from the end of October 2010 until the end of February 2011.
The venue for the show "1000 years of INCA gold" is the Novomatic Forum opposite the Vienna Secession. Apart from exhibits from the Inca period (13th to 16th centuries), numerous works in gold from the various progenitor cultures which the Inca annexed peacefully or belligerently will also be shown.
On view are grave goods of the Inca, cups made from solid gold, pieces of jewelry, masks and nose jewelry, crowns and cult ceramics. The oldest pieces in the exhibition are golden earrings from the Frias culture (approx. 400 BC). The heart of the show is a death mask, which was made in 900 AD from a single piece of gold.
Texts, short films and 3D projections supplement the exhibition, which is presented in dark and mystic rooms to Peruvian highland music. The pieces on loan come from the famous Gold Museum in the Peruvian capital Lima.
22 October 2010 - 27 February 2011
daily from 10.00 am - 6.00 pm
Christmas markets
From mid-November through Christmas, Vienna's public squares are transformed into Christmas markets with hundreds of booths full of gifts and goodies for visitors to buy.
Each year a traditional Christmas Market transforms City Hall Square into a magical Christmas wonderland. Sample cookies, savor punch and select gifts at one of the many shopping booths throughout the square. Or, simply stroll and enjoy the amazing Christmas decorations: a giant 40 foot Advent wreath is prominently displayed in the center of the square while the trees in the neighboring Rathauspark twinkle with festive lights.
The Christmas village on Maria-Theresien-Platz is nestled between the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Museum of Natural History. From mid-November through Christmas, more than 60 stands offer traditional, handcrafted wares and original gift ideas. The romantic Christmas Village in the Old General Hospital (Altes AKH) is a popular meeting point during Advent, especially for a younger crowd.
Tradition is the order of the day at the Old Viennese Christmas Market at Freyung. There has been a Christmas market here ever since 1772. Nowadays the stands offer attractive handcrafted pieces, glass decorations, cribs and ceramics. Festive Advent Christmas music rings out on the square from 4 pm.
The cultural and Christmas market in the Ehrenhof at Schönbrunn Palace offers Christmas romance in front of an imperial backdrop. The atmospheric market shows traditional handicrafts, hand-made jewelry and rustic Christmas decorations. There is a diverse children's program and a crib exhibition. The Advent market in front of the Belvedere is also held in an imperial ambience.
An alternative Christmas market on Karlsplatz is a more contemplative affair. You're sure to find a Christmas gift or two amongst the wide range of handicrafts on offer. There's also lots to discover in the idyllic little lanes at the Christmas market on Spittelberg.

Blue Man Group
From 4 November, the Blue Man Group offers a show that defies all categorization. The men in blue take the audience on a humorous, visually and acoustically overpowering journey. A live band provides gripping rhythms.
The group gave its first performance in 1991 in New York, after which the innovative form of live entertainment conquered stages around the world - now, it is making a guest appearance in Vienna for two months.
The music is very important: fast, captivating rhythms determine the tempo of the show. The Blue Men move expertly through a wide range of musical genres - from Punk to New Wave to Techno. Specially developed instruments produce the unmistakable Blue Man Sound.
The Blue Man Group phenomenon has created a new category: their funny, sensational multimedia performance, which goes far beyond the rules of a "normal" theater show, has already amazed over 17 million people worldwide.
The Blue Men had great impressions of Vienna on their visit in June 2010: in the coffeehouse, at the golden statue of waltz-king Johann Strauß, horse-drawn carriage rides on Heldenplatz ...

This is an amazing cover of The Human League's Don't You Want Me by Atomic Tom. (The "baby" part is superfluous.) It also features the cast of the coming '80s flick, Take Me Home Tonight. Star Topher Grace is giving Stuck in the '80s a call tomorrow to talk about the movie. Seriously can't wait.

Washington, DC 202.408.9450 © 2012 Women's Democracy Network. All rights reserved.
About the Women's Democracy Network
We believe that a full and robust democracy depends on the equal participation of women. Established in March 2006, the Women's Democracy Network (WDN) is an initiative of the International Republican Institute to increase women's political participation, leadership and representation in elected office.
WDN accomplishes this goal by linking these women with their peers in other countries who share similar struggles, providing mentorship from experienced women who have are leaders in their fields, and through skills-building trainings designed to target their identified needs.
A team led by WDN Director Valerie Dowling at the International Republican Institute in Washington, DC oversees the global Network, fosters communication among its members, and conducts events and trainings around the world.
Most importantly, the WDN is a member-driven network and depends on guidance directly from its membership to determine the needs of women across the globe. This information is used to design and implement programming and to accurately address the issues and concerns of Network members.
To date, the Network is active in 61 countries in every region of the world. In 14 countries, women have formed WDN Country Chapters which are partnerships between WDN and groups of members within a country. Country Chapters coalesce women under one umbrella to target the barriers which restrict women's empowerment in their country. What sets WDN Country Chapters apart from other women's organizations in their countries is that membership is multi-sector and multi-partisan.

I put an asterisk in the title there because I can't promise this will be a massive breakout from the market stalls of the European Film Market. But I will say that the story of a giant arachnid (à la Ray Harryhausen) terrorizing Los Angeles, and sold here by Epic Pictures, looks fun and also somewhat reminiscent of Iron Sky, a movie that kicked off its career here last year and went on to have a cult life. Big Ass Spider does not have Nazis on the moon as did Iron Sky, but it was just selected for SXSW's Midnighters section where it will have its world premiere and features such actors as Ray Wise and Greg Grunberg — and there's even a cameo by Troma chieftan Lloyd Kaufman. As needed, I'll report back during the week on the spider's international bite. The trailer is below (with a short intro from director Mike Mendez):
17 Comments
Best title of the year.
Why would I pay money to see this when I can watch equally awful movies like those Sci Fi Channel atrocities from ten years ago (ICE SPIDERS anyone) for free?
How do you get FREE cable?
Looks awful. And sadly, a bunch of writers will be saying "look, my giant killer butterfly movie has a chance!"
Nope, it looks like terrific fun and has the best title of the year. And you sound like a douche spilling sour grapes.
This looks funnier than the typical Sci-Fi channel movie
Wait. You're in Berlin covering THIS? Is Mike Mendez your nephew or something?
Sorry Mike but your spider isn't nearly big enough to be called Big Ass.
Mike Mendez has long been an untapped resource in Hollywood. I first meet him in 1995 when he was up to direct Sleepy Hollow. Yes, THAT Sleep Hollow — the one Tim Burton eventually directed.
He's always been tremendously inventive, fun to deal with and bursting with energy. Sadly, he's been trapped far too long in the horror ghetto and needs a shot at the next level. I hope it happens for him.
If you didn't want people to download your stupid ass movie, you probably should have made it interesting enough to go see it at the movies.
This looks great. And like something I'll see in theaters opening day.
Mendez is one of the best cult talents Hollywood has to offer, and this looks to be a ridiculous amount of fun – much more innovative and knowingly humorous than any of those awful SciFi Channel films. Anyone who's seen the guy's prior work knows this will be worth checking out.
Charlie, if millions of people could steal a little bit of money from your paycheck each week with a simple click of a button you might feel differently.
That's actually incorrect. You are not stealing money from his paycheck if you download the movie. If you download the movie INSTEAD of paying to see it in a theater, then yes it is costing the movie money. But if you have absolutely zero intention of spending your money on something, then downloading it isn't hurting them financially because your dollars were never going to them anyway. You can get upset about this but you can't argue the logic.
About time Greg Grunberg starred in a film like this. That guy is a great actor of comedy & drama. Can't WAIT to see this. It looks like SO much fun. I miss this old style campy SyFy movie.
Man, that looks like fun! I will definitely watch it when it's out. It's something to watch with friends and scream the whole way through.
All I can say about this is that Grunberg was a good casting choice. Based on the trailer, if this movie turns out to be watchable in any non-ironic way, then it will almost wholly be down to his performance.

MAR DEL PLATA (FIBA Americas Championship) - Despite being the most talented and biggest title-contender of FIBA Americas, Argentina are the oldest team in the whole tournament.
Manu Ginóbili, Luis Scola and Co. average 31,9 years followed by Puerto Rico (27.7) and Panama (27.6).
"This is a tournament of 10 games in 12 days and we are not exactly the youngest team," said Manu Ginóbili, who made his national team debut in 1998.
Ginóbili expects Argentina to have fresh legs for the second part of the tournament, starting next Monday with the Quarterfinal group and the semifinals that give two Olympic spots.
After two comfortable wins, Ginóbili expressed his happiness of having accumulated just 37 minutes in both games.
"Our youngest players are (Juan) Gutiérrez, who is 27, and Delfino, 29. For the time being we are fine because we took every chance we had to thrash our opposition," added the San Antonio Spurs player. "I'm happy to get rested and to avoid suffering in the last minutes, which is something that consumes a team both physically and mentally."
Luis Scola gives experience the credit.
"Experience helps against minor teams," said the 31-year old centre.
Asked on how they managed to get easy wins Scola said Argentina have very intelligent players. He added "We know that if we play seriously, we can be in better condition the following day."
Argentina will have Thursday off and will play Puerto Rico on Friday and Panama on Saturday.

While he concedes he has not yet fulfilled that particular dream, he is convinced that the best fit for him following graduation would be working with any company that "puts people or objects into space."
Johnson says his skill and part-time work with computers should help him land his dream job.

I have another question for the wise ones on this forum.
While attempting to install a new alternator, I used a feeler gauge to check for a requisite .008" of clearance between the rotor and stator. There is interference from about 12:30 to 3:30. I assume it's the stator's position since I've turned the rotor and checked it out. Each time it's getting caught up in the same spot.
How does one go about fixing this problem?

Inherited Disorders and Birth Defects
Chromosome 18 `a bit in upside down`
My son and daughter in law have been undergoing IVF unsuccessfully. My son has now been told he has a small defect on chromosome 18 that can lead to repeated miscarriage as well as some sperm problems. He was 6/52 prem, was late walking and talking, had hypospadias but is otherwise fine. He is 38 and a bank manager. Are there likely to be any other health problems that he needs to be aware of - they have been advised to have donor insemination and that they do not need further genetic input.
Abnormalities of chromosomes such as chromosome 18 can lead to problems such as birth defects (for example hyposadius) and problems with development. From your description, the types of problems your son has had have been minor. Also, chromosome problems can lead to an increase risk for infertility and / or miscarriages. Using donor sperm and undergoing insemination is a way to avoid these types of problems.
It would be necessary to know exactly what the problem is with chromosome 18 before a geneticist could say if your son is at an increased risk for additional health problems. If your son has questions about this, I would highly recommend that he and his wife talk to a geneticist or genetic counselor if they have not already done so. They can locate a genetics clinic near them at the National Society of Genetic Counselors' Resource Center at the website below.

It seems the only spare parts manual in existence for the GS3 is in the hands of Robert Lombardi. Like others, I only received the Installation Guide, Owners Manual and Software Programming Guide.
Searching for parts manuals for the other La Marzoccos, I was not able to find one for the GS3 (by guessing at the URL for the GS3 or by viewing directory listings which some of the sites allowed).
Furthermore, it seems no sites list parts for the GS3 (e.g., espressoparts.com and marzoccoman.com label parts "Fits La Marzocco Linea, La Marzocco FB70"). I can't find any parts stating "Fits La Marzocco GS3".
This is annoying since I'd like to have a few gaskets and a screen on hand for my GS3. (It's no fun to wait for a gasket to start leaking before getting around to ordering one.)
Robert, have you scanned your parts manual yet? Anyone else have the parts manual or know where it is posted? Anyone know which gasket the GS3 ships with?

LOCAL history societies from across East Lancashire attended a reception at County Hall in Preston.
The event recognised their role in promoting the history of the county.
County Coun John Shedwick, chairman of the county council, said: "From pre-Roman through the War of the Roses to the industrial revolution and more recent times, there's an amazing wealth of history in our county.
"The unique identity of Lancashire is made up of many different communities.
"Without the work of local history and heritage groups, Lancashire would be a less interesting county. They're keeping history alive."

The "R" is returning to Seattle
A red neon "R" is returning to the Seattle skyline atop the old Rainier Brewery building where it was a landmark for drivers on the adjacent Interstate 5.
Tully's Coffee replaced the "R" with a green "T" when it moved into the building in 2000. Now Tully's is removing its sign in favor of the iconic R, which topped the brewery for about 50 years.
The new 12-foot "R" to be installed in November is a replica. The original is at Seattle's Museum of History and Industry.

Located close to Kilkenny Castle, this elegant Georgian townhouse was restored by the Irish State Design Agency in the 1970s - and the resulting combination of what was at the time contemporary design with period architecture leads to some interesting discussions.
However bedrooms are unusually spacious - some have bow windows overlooking the gardens and Kilkenny Castle - and the accommodation is very adequate, with all the amenities now expected of good guesthouse accommodation.
Bathrooms have been refurbished and upgraded, and most rooms now have full bath. Three magnificent bow-windowed reception rooms are available for receptions and dinners.
An excellent breakfast is served at the Kilkenny Design Centre (see entry), which is just across the gardens in the refurbished castle stables.

Reviews for Cherry Balsamic Pork Loin
Average Rating
"Resulted in juicy, tender, and very flavorful pork! This makes for a visually impressive dish. I used a homemade cranberry sauce and dried cranberries in place of the cherry preserves and dried cherries because these were what I had on-hand, but these were the only changes I made to the recipe. I recommend placing the pork fat side up in the crockpot to help the pork stay juicy."
"This is a great way to dress up a pork roast with very little effort. The sauce is delicious, though I would add some cornstarch next time to thicken it up, since it came out pretty runny after the long cooking time."
"Amazingly good! Seared on stove, added lemon zest to sauce & used sour cherries. No slow cooker, Finished in oven. Planning on making this next dinner party."
"Made this for a 75th birthday celebration. Received several compliments. I sliced the meat after rest period, spooned some sauce over meat, covered, sat in warm oven to keep warm. Then, I added a little more brown sugar to remaining sauce and heated on stove to melt sugar. Served it along side of meat. Most people spooned sweeter sauce over meat. Sauce was excellent, I just preferred it to be slightly sweeter. Served with cheesy potato casserole, green beans, salad. And, of course, birthday cake and ice cream. Will definitely make again. Great for company, Christmas or Easter. Great for a special everyday meal. Roast was very tender, juicy."
"I was very disappointed in this dish. It was very blah! Followed direction exactly, just not much flavor. May doctor it up & try again."
"I prepared this recipe as written except I doubled the amount of dried cherries. It was wonderful! I'm going to use it for Easter dinner."
"Such a delicious dish! I was a little worried about the short cooking time, but the roast turned out perfectly, very moist and not stringy at all. It makes a beautiful holiday meal."
"My daughter who is a very picky eater selected this out of a recipe book. I cooked this as directed and everyone absolutely LOVED it! Delicious. Will make again - like this weekend!"
"This was very tender. I didn't want to pay the outrageous price for dried cherries so I subbed in craisins...I don't think it hurt the flavor at all. Gave a little bite to it. Hubby liked the glaze and he requested it on beef loin next time. I feel it will be a great complement to the beef...looking forward to it!"
"This came out really tender. The sauce was sweet and added flavor, although it thinned out a lot during cooking. I had 6lb roast, so cooked it for 8 hours. The leftovers were perfect in pork fried rice!"
"I made this for supper tonight and it was wonderful! Although I used a 2# roast, I still made the full amount of cherry sauce so we could enjoy some of it over my Rosemary Mashed Potatoes. The flavors were very complimentary and I will definitely make this delicious roast again!"
"We enjoyed this roast last night. I always cook roasts on a bed of chopped onion so I cut up one large onion to cover the bottom of the slow cooker. After browning the roast, I sprinkled on two teaspoons of cracked rosemary and a a good tablespoon of granulated garlic. I made the sauce as the recipe suggests Craisins instead of cherries (DH couldn't find them!) , but next time I would cut back on the sugar just a little...perhaps to 1/8th a cup. While the roast was resting, I defated the juice using a fat separator with a strainer "lid". When all was cool enough to handle, I pureed the chunky mixture into a smooth sauce. Delicious. [I passed some fresh horseradish at the table along with some freshly ground black peper.] Thank you Sue for the inspiration. ROUND 2: Made this again as printed except for one thing. We didn't have cherry preserves so used Cranberry Hot Pepper Jelly. Delicious and just right spicy for us. Looking forward to leftovers!!"
"Meat taste is flavorless, cherries don't taste too good aster being slow cooked either."
"(Note: Cook on high for the time mentioned on the recipe.) This was good and easy. I used crasins instead of cherries and that worked fine with the flavors."
"I made this with thick cut loin chops instead of a roast. The chops were incredibly tender and delicious. The cherry and balsamic is a perfect flavor combination! Definitely on the list of meals I will prepare again!"

Salvation Army continues children's gift program
The local Salvation Army distribution center will once again provide food baskets for families in need as well as gifts to children during the holiday season as part of its Christmas Baskets and Treasures for Children program.
The program, according to Ligonier Service Unit Director Mitzi Neiderhiser, has been running in the Ligonier Valley for more than 20 years.
"I am always overwhelmed by the generosity of my community during the Christmas season. The participation level has always been good," Neiderhiser said. "Our program has always been successful even during the down times in the economy. We have always been blessed to receive all the gifts and food that we need. When needs arise, we have always had someone step forward to assist us."
Families apply for the program in October, answering questions and providing a wish list for their children. Neiderhiser explained that items on those lists are then turned into "Treasure Tree Tags," which can be seen in local businesses and with certain private groups in the valley. A person who is interested in purchasing an item may take the tag, buy the gift, which will range in price from about $15-$20 and bring the toy to the location where they picked up the tag. The items are then collected at taken to the distribution center. Just before Christmas, families in the program pick up the food and gifts, which are covered to make the gift a surprise for the children.
Neiderhiser said she has met the majority of families who receive these donations and she knows that they are appreciative of what the Salvation Army can provide. She told a story about a set of grandparents who applied so they could give presents to their grandchildren, who they were raising.
"They applied hoping for a little something to put under the tree for the kids so they weren't totally disappointed," Neiderhiser said. "After coming to pick up their gifts and food, the grandfather left our center in tears of appreciation for everything they were given. I can still see his face clearly as he offered his thanks."
In addition to the toy drive, Neiderhiser said the Salvation Army is also continuing its Red Kettle program, set up outside of the Ligonier Giant Eagle, where people can donate their spare change.
Neiderhiser implores the people of the Ligonier Valley to continue to give their support.
"This is our main local fundraiser and we receive most our donations during this period. We greatly appreciate any donation that is made and we couldn't continue without the community support," Neiderhiser said. "If you can't provide a toy, maybe some change in the red kettle would be a start, maybe donating some time to ring the bell would fit better in your schedule. Just do something. You will be blessed for helping others."
The deadline for toys and food donations is Friday. Donations can be dropped off at the Salvation Army Service Center on state Route 271. Toys can also be left at any business location in town that has a Treasure Tree, such as Giant Eagle, Ligonier Outfitters or Abigails. Financial donations can be placed in the Red Kettle at Giant Eagle or mailed to P.O. Box 19, Ligonier, PA 15658. Financial donations can be made any time, and the Red Kettle program will continue through the end of December.

Saudi Men Accused of Gang Raping a 3-Year-Old (Yes, a 3-Year-Old)
Saudi Men Accused of Gang Raping a 3-Year-Old (Yes, a 3-Year-Old)
Editor's note: This story contains graphic descriptions.
Some crimes are so horrific they defy comprehension. Here is one such case being reported by Persian Gulf media.
A 3-year-old girl in Saudi Arabia was reportedly raped by a group of men. After taking turns violating the toddler, the men dumped her near a hospital where she was classified in serious condition, the website Emirates 24/7 reported.
Though the attack reportedly occurred last month, police revealed the incident only this past Monday, saying they had arrested three suspects along with two women in connection with the attack.
Doctors at a hospital in Jeddah say the girl is still in a coma and fighting for her life, Gulf News reported.
"She has been raped violently by some men. She was found crying of excruciating pain as her body was full of bruises and her sensitive parts were ruptured," hospital manager Mohammed Ali told the Saudi Arabia oulet Okaz, as reported by the English-language Emirates 24/7.
Ali said the girl's clothes were torn and she was bleeding from the vagina.
An eyewitness, Abdullah Mohammad Nasser, was quoted by Gulf News saying he saw a car dump the girl at the front gate and then speed away
"These are human wolves and worse than animals. They have violated all human and religious values with this heinous crime," the hospital manager said. "We hope she will respond to treatment and recover although doctors believe she will suffer from a trauma for the rest of her life."
Earlier this month, a Saudi preacher convicted of torturing his 5-year-old daughter with a cane and cables and beating her to death in 2011 was sentenced to eight years in prison and 600 lashes after paying blood money to the family of the girl's mother. The killing was reportedly motivated by the father's suspicions about the girl's virginity.
Earlier this year, another Saudi cleric called on parents to dress their female babies in a burka, to reduce their chance of being molested.
My husband's Glock would be useful in this situation.
Instead of covering and oppressing females, why not deal with the real source - severe consequences for MEN.
This just made my skin crawl. it's not even human.
It us clear where the problem starts however.
They have a lunatic cleric recommending covering babies in burquas and another paying blood money to a child's family? !
Eternity will not be pleasant for these men.....

Ok, I found some of the best stock trading courses and stock trading system for you from stock trading guru Guy Cohen, the author of two best selling books on Options Made Easy and Options Bible.
Now you can learn how to make money easily and safely in the stock market via his trading courses as though you are in his stock trading class at your own pace. You watch these stock trading cds and access to his online stock trading system which he developed to pick stocks to trade.
He has developed a few stock market trading courses using simple strategies that can be used on stocks,options and spread bettings.
Regardless whether you are experienced trader or beginner to investing (even better), this trading method /system "Really Can" make you money in a few days or weeks, either going short or long in the market in a safer and easier way.
This package will teach you how to enter a trade safely and capture big movement before they happen. The package will also teach you how to trade those explosive continuation bull and bear flag chart patterns identified by a software that is not available anywhere else.
In fact watch this updated video to see my results and see how his flag trader stock trading course can help you make money trading the stock market in a safer and easier way in addition to the below comments/ reviews.
I have to admit when Guy Cohen first contacted me on this simple trading course a few years ago, I looked at the sales page and it struck me as " too good to be true or even a scam ".
But knowing him and I have been to his options course before, this stock trading course might be good, just the way the sales letter was written so I gave it a miss as I thought " what can this simple course teach me that I don't already know "?
Every now and then, I receive email on trading technique, market updates and sometimes video alerts from Guy Cohen. I thought I might have missed something important here, so I actually tried his course.
Wow! How wrong was I to ignore his email. I have to congratulate him for producing such a " good training course " using simple technique that really can make you money in the way that's been said in the sales letter! I made money ( more than 10 percent) in a few days after watching the trading training cds.
If you want to fine tune your trading or make money quicker, then this course is for you.
What I like About This Flag Trader Trading Course:
Minor Dislike Of This Flag Trader Stock Trading Course
The trade finder currently only focuses on finding United Kingdom and United States stocks. Actually, it finds more US potential stocks than UK spread betting stocks.
It would be nice if it can cover any countries, but I guess there are more opportunities in US and you can trade US stocks no matter where you are. Also there are a few things which you can check to aid/ confirm stock is heading the right direction as explained in the training cds.

I must say, after watching these trade examples as Guy Cohen commentated on each options trade from options training cds, you would be able to tell from the chart to see if it's going to be a good trade or not.
With the way Guy Cohen explaining these trades, you can literally work backward if you do not have the software to aid you to find these trades that have met " certain conditions " as explained on the trading training cds!

Abusive Letter Challenge Turn Around Trader Course / System
Well, Guy Cohen had a wake up call from an abusive potential customer who spoke for most of us with the above. After pondering for a little while, Guy came up with a cheaper version (under $300) and something simple that you could do to make money trading.
There are certain signals that Guy Cohen use to tell you when a stock/ index is about to reverse into other direction, named "Turnaround Trader".
Since Guy is the expert on trading, he should be able to analyze the trade and say which one is good when he sees the signal. The challenge was to make it simple and require about 10 minutes a day to do.
Now, he's incorporating his skills in picking these trades for you in his " Turn Around Trader Stock Trading Course/System ", where everything is done for you.
All you need to do is log onto certain website to pick the trade that you like from the list, place a trade and profit from the turn around of stocks/indexes.
The Turn Around Stock Trading Course Also Comes With
Want To Make Money Trading Just 10 Minutes A Day Without Studying Chart?
Guy Cohen is a genuine helpful person. He even answered my questions when I emailed him a few questions on options years after I attended his options stock trading class.
He also kept in touch and emailed me after the stock trading courses. He introduced me to market matrix where he showed me on email how he day traded sp500.
If only Guy Cohen told me about these stock market trading course earlier rather than via an email, I would throw away all those expensive and unhelpful stock trading courses that I paid which could be learned from books and free online informations!
I could have made a lot more money if I did not ignore his email earlier!
Apparently, he was busy testing it and fine tuning it to a Stock Trading Made Easy stage with his own money for 6 months , trading using these simple stock trading strategies and made consistent money turning £10,000s trading account to more than £ 100,000.
I just wished he finished testing and fine tuned the above stock trading systems a few years ago so I could benefit from these stock trading courses. I am sure you will enjoy these benefits after purchasing one of this stock trading course.
I came across Trading Academy who were equally good and saw them demonstrated live trading before. They offer quite a range of courses from stock trading courses, Fibonacci, Level 2,to Forex and Options.

In their own words, here are some of the recent flag trader course testimonials.
From Gimmepips @ trade2win forum
After exchanging a few emails with Guy, I decided to re-join Flag Trader, and within the first 2 weeks, I managed to find 8 good opportunities with the software, 1 of which lost, but the other 7 all hit the 1st profit target.
Most of them are still running, one was stopped at BE on the second half. One of the trades currently has over 1700 points profit running, which is over 1:4.5 R:R, which is not bad by anyones standards.
It took literally 30 minutes a day to find the trades, and make sure they tick all the boxes on my checklist.
The stocks the software found for me were;
Trading like this is great when the markets are breaking out nicely and then trending, as these stocks have mainly done. Just look at ESI, shame they're not all like that one!
When I previously bought the system, I couldn't find many opportunities as the markets were swinging wildly, but to be fair, this is what Guy has said all along, and at the time he was telling me to be patient.
The key is that this way of trading keeps you safe (or out) when the markets are choppy.
This time around I was lucky to rejoin at a time when the markets are behaving nicely, and now I have a much better understanding as to how and why this approach can work.
So, not too bad a start, and I'm hoping it'll continue.
Here are some more testimonials from Guy Cohen's Flag Trader Inner Circle Member Area
Latest Trades
Hi Guy a quick update on where I am at present I have been fairly quiet until a couple of weeks ago when I entered 4 nice looking flags these took a while to take off but are doing nicely at present
Last Monday I did a search on Flag-Trader and of the 300+ stocks I found just 4 lovely looking patterns and these are the results
To anyone who is finding it difficult just keep with it because this has to be the most powerful opportunity I have seen in 20 years and probably one of the most simple.
My starting bank was £5000 and it now stands at a few quid short of £19000 using just 3% of my capital per trade."
Profitable Trades
"I would like to thank you for the incredible tools Flag-Trader has given me. In the past, I have lost several thousand dollars on large trades that went wrong, so by comparison, investing in Flag-Trader was an easy decision to make, taking into account I am now making a significant number of profitable trades."
Flag Success
"This is just to say that I bought a put on MGM invested $5,500 and sold it a week later for over $11,000. I am truly enjoying trading flags all thanks to your genius self. Keep up the great work."
B. Dhillon
Privileged Flag-Trader
"I feel privileged to have become an Flag-Trader. I now don't worry about the direction of any stock that I trade and I don't have to be glued to my screens every day.
I literally just log on and scan for the best opportunities at the best times and only select the very best of the best … to devastating effect! I've stopped over-trading and I now look forward to trading without pressure as a result.
I still have my main job, and use my Flag-Trading to generate another substantial pot on the side. In the last quarter cycle my broker must have thought I had a complete transplant as I was trading a completely new style to before … and with completely different results!"

The bright red headline across four columns in an Egyptian government-owned newspaper, Al Gumhuria, on Tuesday trumpeted the latest bombings in Iraq as somehow religiously sanctioned: ''Five Consecutive Martyrdom Operations Rock Baghdad.''
Yet both Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher and the Arab League condemned the bombings, singling out the attack on the International Committee of the Red Cross as particularly appalling. In Beirut, the respected daily Safir labeled the bombings a ''crime,'' not least because in the paper's view they will serve to prolong the American presence.
Across the Arab world, opinion toward events in Iraq has taken on a kind of split personality that deepens with each new attack, particularly after gory explosions like those on Monday, which killed dozens of Iraqis and wounded hundreds more.
On one hand, it is rare to find outright support in the Arab world for the United States to succeed. People in and out of government say they hope Washington will suffer for its perceived arrogance in taking on Iraq without international approval and for its unequivocal support for Israel. There is also fear that an easy victory might translate into dispatching the American military elsewhere to replace leaders.
On the other hand, many Arabs say they do not want the United States to fail either, fearing that the inevitable chaos would slosh across the entire region. Failure would open the door in Iraq for the kind of war among the sects that plagued Lebanon for 15 years. More important, if Islamic militants carry out attacks and triumph, Islamic extremism could well reignite.Continue reading the main story
''The general feeling is that the U.S. put itself in a position that it deserves, it serves them right,'' said Khaled M. Batarfi, the managing editor of Al Madina, a newspaper published in Jidda, Saudi Arabia. ''The U.S. was always saying, we know better, we understand the stakes and everything will be fine.
''But the other feeling is worry that the U.S. might leave without finishing the job first,'' he went on. ''It will be like a jungle.''
This quandary has resulted in more paralysis than usual. The latest bombings elicited few public statements from senior officials -- although this is also partly because attacks have become so frequent.
Muhammad Kamal, a political science professor at Cairo University, said Arab countries faced a dilemma. ''They don't want to leave Iraq, this big Arab country, to the U.S. to shape its future, they don't want the U.S. to do that exclusively,'' he said. ''But they are also reluctant to do anything which might be interpreted as helping the U.S. as an occupier of Iraq.''
In addition, the idea that their heads might be on the block next is never very far away from the thoughts of most Arab leaders.
''Iraq is something confusing for the governments here,'' said Sawsan Shair, a Bahraini columnist. ''If the U.S. succeeds in Iraq, so that it really is a democratic country, this is scary for them. If the U.S. fails, on the other hand, what is happening in Iraq will spread, and this is bad for them as well.''
Swings in the press coverage reflect the uncertainty. Some papers refer to the attacks against the American forces or the Iraqi police they have trained as ''martyrdom operations'' implying that they somehow carry the stamp of religious approval as legitimate resistance. Others condemn them.
If there is one element of consensus, it is that the United States failed from the very beginning, when it allowed mobs to loot Iraqi ministries, to provide sufficient security. The only way to dampen the violence now is to hand over sovereignty to the Iraqis under United Nations auspices, or at least to announce a rapid timetable for doing that, according to newspapers and commentators across the region.
''A quick handover of power to the Iraqis is the only way out,'' wrote Al Akhbar, another Egyptian newspaper run by the government. ''What the U.S. administration has forgotten is that all Iraqis, except the traitors and agents, look at the presence of the U.S. forces as an invasion, a colonization and an occupation, despite all that's being said about assistance, reconstruction and the promotion of democracy.''
Fighting the United States is not the same as supporting Saddam Hussein, the paper added.
Other voices were also critical, not to say horrified, at the fact that so many of the victims were Iraqis.
''There are borders between resisting occupation and massacring the impoverished, the hopeless who are unfairly accused of serving the occupation when they were simply earning their bread,'' wrote Talal Salman, the publisher of Al Safir.
There was some outright criticism of the attacks. One Jordanian columnist was particularly aghast that the suicide bombers had used a booby-trapped ambulance to attack a humanitarian organization.
On the streets, too, there was a feeling that the Americans were getting what they deserved, yet sympathy for the victims.
''If the Americans end their occupation and allowed the Iraqis to govern their own country, such explosions would not take place,'' said Salwa Attiyah, a Cairo accountant.
''It is sad to see those poor Iraqi victims killed,'' she said. ''It is also sad to see the Americans killed every day there.''
Whatever their stripe, Arab commentators were completely dismissive of President Bush's remarks that the attacks were being inspired by growing American success.
''Remember how Saddam Hussein talked about winning the mother of all battles?'' said Muhsen Awaji, a Saudi Islamist lawyer. ''It is the same disease.''Continue reading the main story

NEW YORK – Japanese automakers posted more than 20 percent sales gains in August in the United States, helping expand the overall market by 17 percent from a year earlier to 1.5 million vehicles, the highest for a single month since May 2007, Autodata Corp. said.
Buyers were apparently encouraged by a moderate recovery in the economy and low interest rates that made it easy to sign up for loans, underscoring the continuing expansion of the U.S. car market.
The August sum translates into an annualized 16.09 million units after seasonal adjustments, the highest since October 2007.
Toyota Motor Corp.'s sales climbed 22.8 percent to 231,537 units, making it the second-biggest seller in the country after General Motors Co. for the second month in a row, thanks to solid sales of the key Camry model and Prius hybrid.
Honda Motor Co. registered a 26.7 percent rise with 166,432 units on the back of brisk demand for the Civic car and the CR-V sports utility vehicle.
Nissan Motor Co. marked a 22.3 percent climb to 120,498 units, owing in part to steady sales of its mainstream Altima.
Honda was fourth in monthly sales and Nissan sixth. Both recorded their best August sales ever.
Top seller GM scored a 14.7 percent increase, selling 275,847 units. Third-ranked Ford Motor Co. boosted sales by 12 percent to 220,404 units. Chrysler LLC, which placed fifth, sold 161,362 units, up 11.8 percent.
Three other Japanese players posted brisk double-digit gains. Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., known for the Subaru brand, marketed 41,061 units, up 45.1 percent. Mazda Motor Corp.'s sales grew 26.4 percent to 28,106 units. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. saw its sales advance 24.3 percent to 5,281 units.

Eagle A3-L 3 Axis Airplane Gyro
Eagle A3-L Airplane Flight Stabilizer / 3 Axis Gyro
The Eagle A3-L Airplane gyro is the new upgraded version of the top selling Eagle Pro SE. This new version has been completely redesigned and is a significant upgrade over the previous generation A3 Pro. Major updates include a new light-weight protective shell, updated v2.7 logic software, remote master gain control, and automatic gyro calibration at start-up. The Eagle A3-L has three gyro modes: normal/2D mode, 3D mode, and gyro deactivated mode. Additionally it supports both analog and digital servos and provides separate gain adjustments for each flight mode. All functions of the Eagle A3-L are easy to setup via a simple on-board button and indicator LED. While the A3-L provides excellent stability for larger planes and jets, it is also perfect for smaller airplanes or where space is a premium. The Eagle A3-L offers an incredible advance in airplane gyro technology for an affordable price.
Why use an airplane gyro?
Gyros (also called flight stabilizers) help keep your airplane stable during take-off, flight maneuvers, and landings which can be helpful during windy days or when learning how to fly RC planes. Gyros also help you master aerobatic maneuvers like knife edges and hovering as the system can "lock" in a planes position / trajectory. Once thought to be for beginners only, Gyros are now common in all classes of aircraft and are utilized by all levels of flyers. Gyros are great for learning, they let pilots practice advanced aerobatics, they give you piece of mind in less than ideal flight conditions, and they can often help you avoid costly crash damage.
Need more convincing? Be sure to read our article Gyros: Clearing Up The Stigma from our Knowledge Blog.
- Works with all major receiver brands including Spektrum, Futaba, Hitec, JR, Tactic, and more.
- 3 Pre-programmed flight modes (flight modes are selected using a 3 position switch on your transmitter):
- Normal Mode (2D Mode): this is the standard flight stabilization mode found on most airplane gyros.
- 3D Flight Mode: this mode will attempt to hold the LAST position the aircraft was in. For example, if you put the airplane into a knife edge and then activate 3D mode, the airplane will hold the knife edge as long as the pilot provides appropriate throttle input.
- Gyro Deactivated Mode: this turns the gyro off to allow unassisted/non-stabilized flight.
- 3 Wing Types: Normal Airplane, Flying-wing (Delta-wing) and V-tail.
- One-key setting mode with colored LED indicator light
- Remote Master Gain
- Supports 50Hz, 125Hz, and 250Hz Servo Frequencies
- Separate gain adjustment for each flight mode
- Automatic gyro calibration (auto stick centering) at start-up

IMPORTANT - Please Read This Carefully
- Proper setup of the Hobby Eagle Gyro is crucial. Read the gyro instruction manual completely before attempting to fly your aircraft. Failure to follow setup instructions can result in loss of control and inevitable damage to your aircraft.
- Ensure the gyro is installed in the proper orientation (see manual) and is mounted to a hard surface near the aircraft's CG point.
- When you first plug in your aircraft battery, keep your radio sticks in the centered positions and DO NOT move your aircraft for at least 10 seconds to allow the gyro to perform self-calibration. The gyro LED will blink blue rapidly for about 3 seconds while calibrating.
- It is crucial to verify that the gyro is moving the control surfaces in the correct direction BEFORE attempting to fly your aircraft. Failure to do so could result in loss of control or even a crash during flight.
- We strongly recommend that you setup one of your gyro control switches (3 position switch on your radio) to activate Gyro Disable. This safety feature will allow you to electronically bypass the gyro if you encounter a gyro setup issue during your maiden flight.
- ANY warranty claim for Hobby Eagle gyros applies to the gyro only, not the aircraft in which the gyro was installed.
The new A3 series provides 5-channel inputs and 3-channel outputs. You only need to connect the receiver and servos to the corresponding pins on the side of the controller. The knobs are used to adjust the gain for each flight mode, clockwise to increase, anti-clockwise to decrease. Futaba's S.Bus and S.Bus 2 are supported by the new A3 series.
Tech Note: This gyro is not to be used for Nitro or Gas-powered R/C aircraft.
A3-L Setting Menu
When the controller is working, press and hold down the button for more than 2 seconds which will allow you to enter the settings menu as all settings are completed by the button. Please consult the manual for more details.
Package Contents
The box contains 4 receiver wires and 2 pieces of double-sided tape in addition to the A3.

Peeps and other sweets
Easter was last week, and we were very nervous about what we would put in Z's Easter Basket. I can count on one hand how many times Z has had candy (because I have been just too afraid he would get sick from it). When someone from church asked what candy he could have (so they could be prepared for their annual Easter egg hunt) the only candy I knew off the top of my head that was gluten free and probably safe were Peeps. Someone from church was so thoughtful, she specially bought Z his own peeps (several boxes) so that he could enjoy something sweet like the other kids.
Here are some pictures of of Z enjoying a peep for the first time.
We tried out another candy that Z seems to tolerate well: Starburst jelly beans. He loves them.
2 comments:
I wanted to let you know that the Starburst Lollipops work well to! I didn't know if he could eat lollipops yet, but when he's ready that's a good option. I think they might be seasonal so my friend always stocks up on them when she can find them. : ) BTW - I haven't been to your site in a while (sorry btw) but I LOVE it! I'll be checking in a lot more often because we've cut back on Evan's dairy intake because of horrible diaper rashes. It's nothing like what you have to go through with Z but I love to get ideas - also I can also pass them on to my sister whose new baby is MSPI (milk, soy protein intolerant). I made sure to send them a link to your website as soon as they found out.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for reading. I apologize for not responding -- life got very busy and hectic here and unfortunately, I quit checking my blog.Delete
Thanks for the tip on Starburst suckers. I didn't know they existed, but my kids LOVE starbursts...

Drilling begins to stabilize Mt. Oliver homes
Testing for mine subsidence in Mt. Oliver Borough could expand when the state Department of Environmental Protection finishes filling sinkholes that damaged homes on Frederick Street, officials said.
Coastal Drilling East of Morgantown on Friday began tapping into the mine more than 200 feet below the street and will shoot cement in it to stabilize shaky ground. Ten homes sustained damage, and subsidence threatens 10 others. The $1.35 million project is expected to take six to eight weeks.
"In the last 10 years, we've been in Mt. Oliver four times (for emergency mine subsidence)," said Gene Trio, a DEP mining engineer. "Based on that, it warrants an exploratory drilling project to determine the extent of damage."
What DEP finds on Frederick Street will determine whether more testing and stabilization are necessary, said agency spokesman John Poister.
Problems on Frederick Street date to long-defunct Ivill Mining Co., which worked the area from the 1860s until 1922, Trio said. This is Mt. Oliver's worst case of subsidence, according to borough engineer Ruthann Omer.
"It's not unusual in these types of situations for DEP to check if they got it all and if there are any possibilities for more of that to happen," she said, adding that all residents should buy subsidence insurance. "We'd appreciate if they would do that, because we don't want to see that happening to another street in the borough."
South Hills neighborhoods sit atop the Pittsburgh Seam, a coal deposit that stretches from Western Pennsylvania into Ohio and West Virginia. Much of the region is extensively undermined, according to DEP officials.
Maps of these old mines do not exist, and DEP is trying to pinpoint the Ivill mine based on surface damage. Coastal drilled down 210 feet without hitting it on Friday. Crews will resume work at 7 a.m. Monday.
Residents are happy to see workers there.
"You guys are angels, do you know that?" Janet Wolf told DEP representatives gathered on Frederick Street.
Her basement walls cracked, but insurance will cover the damage.
Trio said Ivill used room-and-pillar mining, a method in which miners leave pillars of coal for support. Those pillars deteriorate after 50 to 70 years, causing subsidence. Coastal will drill 57 holes on properties impacted by subsidence and shoot cement down the holes until voids below are full. The cement hardens and supports the ground, said Dean B. Baker, DEP environmental program manager.
"We've been doing this for 30 years, and of all the houses we've done, which is about 2,500, we've only had four instances of more subsidence once this is done," Trio said.

The name "Mystic" is derived from the Indian word "MissiTuk" or "great tidal river," a reference to the Mystic having once been tidal. For hundreds of years, Native Americans lived and fished along the Mystic. One of the Mystic area's first European settlers was Massachusetts Bay Colony Governor John Winthrop. He built his summer retreat, the Ten Hills Farm, on the banks of the Mystic.
Both Native Americans, and later Colonists, used weirs to catch alewives and fertilize their crops. During the 1800s, factories replaced many farms, and the region attracted many new residents. By 1865, overfishing and pollution all but eliminated commercial fishing.
Shipbuilding on the Mystic dates from earliest Colonial times and peaked in the 1840s. Schooners and sloops transported timber, molasses for rum distilleries, and other products, along the trade route between Medford and the West Indies. Later, railroads and then a system of roadways replaced the River as a transportation route.
In 1631, the first ship built by Europeans in Massachusetts, the "Blessing of the Bay," launched from the shores of the Mystic River. During the 19th century, 10 shipyards along the Mystic River built more than 500 clipper ships.
From early Colonial days until the end of the 19th century, the waters of the Mystic were harnessed to power tide mills. Tide mills were built throughout the length of the Mystic on both sides of the shore. Their waterpower was used to grind grain and spices, saw wood, and process paints, cloth and other products. Mills, brickyards and tanneries along the river brought wealth, but some industries also polluted the Mystic watershed. Today, a mix of houses, businesses, parks and abandoned factories border the River.
Twice each day, tides once influenced the waters of the Mystic, Malden, and Alewife Brook. First the Craddock Locks, 1909, and later, the Amelia Earhart Dam, 1966, changed these waterbodies from salt to freshwater. In the 1960s, construction of I-93 filled in wetlands and dramatically changed the Mystic River's course.
