Flying when the wind is too darn strong, in other words! But that was towards the end of the flying session, when the cloud cover started to disappear and surface winds were affected...
To begin with, the 3-Skewer A-Frame kite was popped up on just 20 meters (65 feet) of line for a few photos. Unfortunately, the sun was not at full strength due to some thin cloud cover. Trying again at a later time was therefore on my mind.
Looking to the North there were many extensive areas of blue, which were cause for some hope. Despite the weather predictions for developing showers today!
A Northerly breeze was blowing, which was also a good thing since it was shifting cloud away to the South.
Cheap cameras like plenty of sunlight for the best photos, though low-end digital cameras are getting better all the time.
With some more line out, to about 60 meters (200 feet), some good flying ensued. Despite the kite showing a slight leaning tendency to the right.
The looped black garbage-bag tail worked well, despite much of it turning into narrow tubes due to twisting in the wind. Annoying! On the other hand, the kite still flew stable which was good. Perhaps less tail is required...
After getting home I shortened it to 9.0SL (261cm, 104"). We'll see how it goes next time! A shorter tail might well improve the winding-up problem too.
After an hour or so out at the field, it seemed the cloud cover was cycling. At first, new cloud developed quicker than the breeze could shift it South to expose the sun. Thwarting my hopes for better photography conditions! But then, after taking the 3-Skewer A-Frame kite down much lower to get better images, the sunlight became much brighter. It was clear that much cloud cover had burned off, with less cloud everywhere.
Apart from bringing the kite down for photos, there were several other times when I brought the kite right down to ground level to do some adjustments. Trying to get rid of that pesky lean! A strip of electrical tape, doubled over and stuck to the left tip of the kite helped. A little more was added from time to time, after seeing how the kite behaved.
Most of the time, the bright-orange A-Frame coped well with the very gusty moderate air flow. The kite flew even flew to high line angles sometimes, with a little thermal help.
I was a bit concerned that the 3-skewer construction would make this kite too flexible, but this wasn't the case. At least for light-to-moderate wind scenarios. It probably helped that I put the stiffest skewer in the center of the horizontal spar. And to help flying characteristics, I carefully matched the 2 outer skewers before gluing it all up. Not to mention putting the heaviest ends of the diagonal spars to the bottom...
Beside the 'tape from the tip' trick, some bridle adjustments were also tried. Unfortunately, these seemed rather ineffective for this design. It seems logical that some designs will be more sensitive to sideways bridle adjustments than others. For example, the Dowel Sode responds very precisely to changes in sliding knot position on the upper bridle loop.
Not that long after the sun came out, the wind speed really picked up.
The 3-Skewer A-Frame kite managed to stay up, but became 'draggy' and kept down to quite low line angles. With more than 15 kph of wind, the horizontal spars bent noticeably and the straight sail edges took on a curved appearance. Even with a slightly more forward towing point, the kite just continued to sit low, although some improvement was there. This kite just doesn't like fresh wind!
So, not the greatest bit of flying today, due to the excessive winds that blew most of the time. But at least I learned quite a lot about this bamboo A-Frame design! The Windtronic wind meter, parked on a small grassy rise, registered an average speed of 6.9 kph with a peak of ... 21 kph! Enough to really test any light wind kite.
I'll try to do another write up on the 3-Skewer A-Frame kite when I manage to pick more ideal flying conditions.
The story above was an actual flying experience with the described kite. My write-ups are definitely warts-and-all since things don't always go totally as planned. However, half the fun of kiting is anticipating the perfect flight. When it happens, it's magic!
This printable e-book takes you step-by-step through making a 119 cm (4 ft) wide Parachute kite. It's not quite that wide in the air since the canopy takes on a distinct curved shape when inflated. This 14-cell kite performs best in moderate to fresh wind speeds. That's 20 to 38 kph or 13 to 24 mph. In gentle winds, this kite will hang in the air at fairly low line angles. In fresh winds, it pulls firmly for it's size, so small kids should only fly it while supervised!
Every kite design in
the MBK Soft Series satisfies the following points...
For the greatest chance of success, I make recommendations regarding the materials. For example, the type/weight of plastic, type/width of tape and line type/strength. Close enough should nearly always be good enough, since the design is well-tested and should be tolerant of small differences from my original.
Get the e-book for making the MBK Parachute kite. After making your first one in plastic and seeing how it performs, you can try soft Tyvek or rip-stop nylon for your next build.
The e-book is a PDF file - which means printable instructions to refer to while you make the kite. It also means convenient off-line access if that suits you better.

"Love the easy to understand step by step instructions, made from next to nothing materials and above all so much fun to fly... cheers Tim for sharing your well thought out pdf kite designs with the whole world.
Very satisfying making your own and watching them get air-born for the first time."
"I decided to run kite making as an elective again on this camp in the past week - so I bought all your e-books, a bunch of materials, and then took a group of 10 high school students through making the kites over 4 days. We built a diamond, a Barn Door, a Delta, and two skew delta kites. Again - every single kite flew."
"I've just bought your super e-book and spent most of last night pouring through all the great stuff in it!
Very detailed and USEFUL information - thanks for such a great book."
years ago, I tried making a kite using the 'instructions' in a free
kite-safety booklet. What a disappointment for a young boy.
Your instructions and methods are wonderful. You help the builder to focus on accuracy, without making it hard. Also, you use materials that are durable, yet cheap!"

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Arnie is a sweet, sweet boy that just wants to be loved and petted. He does have color dilution alopecia which is also called color mutant alopecia. It does not affect all of the hair on his body. It is a hereditary disease of which there is no cure. His hair is sparse in some places on his torso and his head. He is young and full of energy and would need to be kept active. But, he loves attention and probably has had very little of it so far in his young life. Please give this boy a chance. He deserves a loving forever home.
Arnie, a Houston Border Collie dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie for sale in Houston, or seeking a Border Collie dog from a breeder in Houston.

What on earth was going on?
A rudimentary train service ran for the first three years of the war. As the conflict intensified many things were requestioned for the war effort and the summit hotel was one of these. The military took over the summit buildings in 1942. Trippers could still walk up to the summit, however every encouragement was made to keep them away from the summit hotel and barbed wire was put around the building to prevent any unwanted visitors.
According to the Snowdonia National Park website, "From 1942-1945 it was requisitioned by the Ministry of Supply for experimental radio work, then by the Air Ministry for radar development. Next, the Admiralty carried out secret work here and finally the Army had use of it."
The summit cafe in 1980. During WW2 barbed wire would have surrounded the building (see pic at bottom)

A brief background to the research and the men involved
At least three men are known to have worked at the summit 1944 to January 1945. A fourth un-named man, formerly a batsman, became the person who waited upon the men as they worked on their projects at the summit. The three men became famous physicians later in life, and they were Fred Hoyle, Hermann Bondi and Cyril Domb.
Cyril Domb met Fred Hoyle in July 1941 at the Admiralty Signal Establishment. Domb was 20 and Holye then 26. Hoyle was in charge of the Theoretical Group in radar research. The research work was then being conducted together with astrophysicist Thomas Gold at a farm cottage near Dunsfold in Surrey. In 1942 Bondi became number two in Hoyle's team, and Gold, Bondi and Domb worked at Dunsfold until 1944.
Soon after they left Dunsfold Hoyle used Snowdon Summit for experiments with the Air Ministry to test short-wave propagation at high altitude, which involved sending signals from Snowdon to a reciever in the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland.

The work undertaken at the summit
The success of the Air Ministry work led Hoyle to suggest using Snowdon summit to conduct new experiments for the Admiralty. Snowdon was ideal for its height and proximity to the sea, and the rack railway for transporting the equipment and generators, not forgetting a regular supply of food and other essentials. The generators were Listers, obtained from the army. The sophisicated equipment gave Holye the ability to send radio waves across around 60 miles of sea to the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment near Aberporth in South Wales, 70 miles distant.
The admiralty's 'secret work' entailed the use of magnetron valves and other electrical equipment supplied by GEC's Wembley laboratories. The magnetron valves and their associated equipment were set up within the summit hotel itself. These constituted powerful transmitters and receivers initially set up to find ways to spot enemy submarines from the air and to determine the extent to which enemy aircraft could be detected despite jamming. Later it was used to analyse radar's ability to cope under certain weather conditions, especially over water.
Hoyle knew that his colleague Herman Bondi loved mountains so Hoyle dispatched him to the summit of Snowdon to oversee and set up the new project. One result of Bondi's residence at the summit of Snowdon was that the observation of how electrons behaved in the magnetrons. Bondi developed a theory describing their quantum nature, which were greatly contributory towards the then new developing theories of rotating fluids and stellar/planetary accretion.
The 'truck' & No.6 do a training run to Rocky Valley on 27 May 1980. Its clear Hoyle & Co used the passenger carriages as the 'truck' was not built until 1950. Copyright Author's collection
On the first day Hoyle and Domb travelled to Llanberis with every intention of catching the 4.15pm train to the summit. They missed it and Hoyle told Domb they'd have to walk to the summit. Unlike Hoyle, Domb was not used to this kind of thing and was appalled at the prospect of climbing a mountain! Upon driving both Bondi and Domb back to Llanberis after their regular update meetings, Hoyle appeared very adept at missing the train, often forcing both men to make their own way to the summit!
The experiments began in June 1944 with a large aerial. Sources say it was 11.5m in diameter. I think this must be an error for it is suggested the aerial was inside the hotel. If so it must have been set to an angle in order to fit inside the building but then I do not see how it would have worked placed on a near horizontal level. It clearly must have been smaller – 11½ft rather than 11.5m. The tests were intended to last until October. It was decided to extend them into the winter to study the effects of wave clutter, for which the rougher winter weather was ideal. Essentials and food were brought up by the railway in preparation for the onset of winter. In January 1945 the experiments ended altogether.
The summit cafe: The remains of the fencing that surrounded the building during wartime is evident. The fencing lasted to the late sixties. The aerial dish on the roof is probably linked to the BBC's 'A Night on the Mountain' programme which was broadcast live from the summit in the mid 1950's. This image can be found on the Delcampe website
Work at the summit ends – and sensitive data is lost!
The one problem was the secret equipment could not be left at the summit. As the railway was not running. It was decided each man should carry a magnetron for these were the most sensitive components from the project and their capture by the enemy would have repercussions for Britain. The less sensitive equipment would have to wait until the railway recommenced services in the spring.
The men set down the mountain with the magnetrons strapped to their backs. As they descended the weather took a turn for the worse. Severe gales blew and one of the team lost his rucksack containing the important documents about the project. Admiralty were furious at this loss and ordered Hermann to find them. He returned to Snowdon with 35 commandos prepared to search for the sensitive documents. Many hours of searching amongst the cliffs and gullies near Clogwyn eventually retrieved the papers, still intact in the rucksack.
The Army took over the summit hotel for just a few months to the end of the war in August 1945. What they used it for is not known. Soon after war finished the railway was allowed to recommence substantial passenger services to the summit. The railway was in a bad condition and there was hardly any money available. It is mentioned in a couple of sources that the company was left with no choice but to burn old army boots in place of coal as it had no money to purchase the latter for its locomotives!
Fred Hoyle & Hermann Bondi. Images from Wikipedia
Fred Hoyle: (1915-2001)
Left the admiralty in 1945 to focus on his work in Astrophysics. He was a leading proponent of the view that the Big Bang was something that never happened. Along with Chandra Wickramasinghe, Hoyle developed new theories on the origin of life in the universe.
Hermann Bondi: (1919 – 2005)
A brilliant mathematician and cosmologist, Bondi's major work sought to refine the principles of general relativity, especially with regards to gravitational radiation. He, Gold and Hoyle developed their theory of the steady-state universe, meaning the big bang did not occur and the universe has neither beginning nor end.
Cyril Domb: (1920 – )
Domb is best known for his work concerning phase transitions. He left the Admiralty in 1946 to undertake further studies at Cambridge for a PHD. He lives in Israel and is the only surviving member of the group who conducted tests at Snowdon summit.
Hoyle, Bondi (and Gold) had very similar interests – life, the universe and the lack of a big bang. They loved the mountains and were all good climbers. Additionally Bondi was a renowed skier, whilst Hoyle was an enthusiastic Munro bagger.

Agriculture Official: Energy Costs Drive Food Crisis
The rise in food prices is a global concern, and the U.S. — which gives half of the world's food aid, more than any other country — is being pressured to act. Critics say the U.S. should give cash instead of food and help poor countries develop and buy food locally.
World leaders came together in Rome last week for a meeting of the Food and Agriculture Organization, and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer was there. He says as demand around the world increases, "unless we make huge investments in increasing productivity in countries that haven't done so in the past, people are going to start going hungry."
"Energy costs are so high and transportation is chewing up so much of the money that's on the table, we're not being able to get as much food effectively to people as we used to be," Schafer tells host Renee Montagne.
He says Congress was asked to allow 25 percent of U.S. food aid to be purchased locally, especially on an emergency basis, when speed often is an issue, but the proposal wasn't approved. Instead, a pilot program is under way "so we can show Congress how it can be beneficial for our humanitarian responsibilities for the rest of the world."
The U.N. summit in Rome sidestepped the controversy that has grown over biofuels, but many economists say using corn for ethanol is driving up the costs for basic food in many parts of the world. Schafer says the Bush administration has a strong biofuels policy and is committed to it.
Although more corn is going toward ethanol production, he says the U.S. is avoiding problems by increasing its yields of corn and its markets for corn.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- DryShips ( DRYS) received an upgrade to "buy" from "hold" late Tuesday by Nordea Equity Research analyst Axel Styrman, according to Bloomberg data. Styrman raised his target price on the Greek dry bulk shipper to $2.10 from $2 on DryShips shares, which were up 1.10% to $1.84 Wednesday. Styrman's report could not be obtained, and the Oslo-based did not immediately respond to an email message Wednesday. His upgrade comes after shares of the dry bulk shipper were dropped to "neutral" from "buy" by Swedbank First Securities analyst Erik Folkeson earlier this month. According to a Bloomberg rating scale of one to five, with five being the highest, analysts give DryShips a rating of 3.17, compared to a sector average of 3.89. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

OK awhile back I did a rant on the tuna that we buy, nice white albacore, thinking we are buying better quality tuna. Then I started noticing that it had a funky smell and tasted to "fishy". Then I looked at the ingredients and was shocked that it had other stuff in there that didn't seem to belong in a can of tuna.
Well I sent hubby to store to look for the wild, line caught tuna and to read the label. Only ingredient is tuna! WooHoo! Found it and only $4 a small can!! Gulp, couldn't believe it, over two to three times as much as a can of what I had been buying. Finally opened a can the other day. Made tuna salad for 4 sandwiches and it was wonderful. Just nice tuna without a bunch of vegetable oil or water and other stuff. Here is the can. Came from Walmart. It may be more expensive but I am worth it!

A MAN took a fatal overdose of anti-depressants because he could not cope with his terrible toothache.
Allan Wightman, 67, killed himself at home after writing a note saying: "I just can't stand the pain any longer. Sorry. Allan."
The single pensioner was found dead by police who were alerted by worried neighbours, an inquest heard.
His body was on the floor in Bingley, West Yorks, along with the note, empty pill packets and a bin full of beer cans.
Mr Wightman had been to see his dentist of 20 years complaining of a swelling in his mouth but he was unable to open his mouth wide enough for examination. Records showed he had a number of teeth missing and had suffered problems with a wisdom tooth in the past. He had also suffered oral infections.
The dentist suspected either a wisdom tooth had become infected or he had an abscess and prescribed antibiotics.
The Bradford inquest heard Mr Wightman, whose only relatives live in France, returned a week later still in pain but his mouth was still too swollen for an examination.
He was referred to hospital in Leeds for an appointment and told to contact his dentist if he hadn't heard in a week. But he took his own life before it was arranged.
Assistant deputy coroner Roger Whittaker said he had been "in great pain".
Verdict: Suicide.

About: Queen Alexandra Hospital / Accident and emergency Queen Alexandra Hospital Accident and emergency Portsmouth PO6 3LY
Posted by Anonymous
I was taken by ambulance after fainting at home, hitting my head and shoulder on a table. Ambulance crew were great which is more than can be said for my treatment at the hospital. The doctor i saw said it was due to taking too much pain relief, wrong, it was due to low blood pressure. At no point was my shoulder examined dispite my saying it was painful. 4 months later, i am in pain 24/7, un-able to sleep, dress/wash myself etc. I have now been told, i need injections, (x-ray guided) before surgery, but the wait for the injections is a minimum of 4 months. So by by the time i might get treatment will probably be near on a year, disgusting. I have even paid for private physio, accuncture, tens machine, etc but no relief from 24 hour excruciating pain

If you've been having an issue where you can't log into Battlelog because you still "have to buy BF3", but you have it on a console, fear not! If you have an EA account, just link your gamertag to it, then play a round and score some points. That'll get you on.
If, however, you can't do that -- for whatever reason, perhaps the 'add new persona' button is gone, as it was for me -- get into contact with an EA rep via http://help.ea.com/, and ask them to link your accounts. Be warned that this may set your Veteran status back, however.
Just putting it out there for anybody still having trouble :)

Author | exchange4media News Service | Saturday, Feb 07,2004 7:24 AM
The Tata Group, which is into sports sponsorship in a big way, ranging from tennis to participants of Formula One racing, has trained its sights on hockey. Testimony to this is the ongoing India-Holland Test series for the Naval Tata Trophy.
Mr Romit Chaterji, Vice-President, Corporate Affairs, Tata group, told that the year 2004 was significant, being birth centenary year of both founder J.R.D. Tata and Naval Tata. The latter had made substantial contribution to sports, particularly hockey, during the three great Olympic medal wins of London (1948), Helsinki (1952) and Melbourne (1956).
"We have yet again turned our attention to hockey and have sponsored this important event ahead of the sport's busy season. The performance of the Indian hockey team lately, bringing it back into reckoning, was another motivating factor. We are testing the waters with this sponsorship and will explore a more sustained partnership as we go along," he said.
Explaining the group's philosophy of building its brand image, he said it had plans to be associated with major sports such as the Formula One racing. The first step was in signing up Narain Karthikeyan. That the sport has substantial viewership, would help the group reach out to a larger audience, he said.
Naval H. Tata was the President of the Indian Hockey Federation for 15 years from 1946 when the Indian team was at its peak. The recent focus on hockey would go a long way for both the group as also the Indian hockey team. In addition, the Tata group supports football, mountaineering, archery and athletics, which Mr Chaterji believes would help increase presence of the group in sports sponsorship.

Injury Prevention and Safety
Fell and hit head
A week ago, my boyfriend fell out of the back of a truck and hit the left side of his head. He doesn`t remember what happened. Now he has bumps on his head, some feel like there`s fluid in them. He also has two black eyes and his head feels like it`s pounding. He doesn`t want to go the emergency room/hospital (he has no health insurance). Should I worry? Is this something that needs to be checked out or will it heal itself with time? Should he self-medicate with aspirin or advil? Thank you.
Your boyfriend is fortunate to have a concerned woman in his life. Yes, you should be concerned about his ongoing symptoms that suggest that he suffered a significant concussion from his fall. It is impossible to know if he has depressed skull fractures under the fluid-filled bumps without at least a skull X-ray but preferably a CT scan. He is at risk for having had some level of internal bleeding with his black eyes. The bounding headaches also suggest that the damage was significant.
It is true that amnesia for the actual accident can be long-lasting and that headaches may persist for some time. What is most concerning to me is that he is describing pounding headaches rather than a persistent dull ache. He should avoid the use of aspirin. Extra-strength acetaminophen would be a safer choice than aspirin because aspirin prolongs bleeding and prevents clotting.
I strongly recommend that he see a physician as soon as possible.

You can tell a lot about a profession by the fantasies of its members. Academics, I have found, secretly want to be freelance magazine writers. For a long time, while I worked on my doctorate in English, I suspected as much. But once I became a journalist myself, I attracted sotto voce confessions. They want my job.
Does this mean they want the financial risk, the rejection, and the uncertainties of the market? Of course not. They do, however, want the romance of writing, the freedom of freelancing. Some of my friends from graduate school, now safe in tenure-track jobs, tell me they wish they knew how to write, because they want their ideas consumed out of love, not obligation, and they want their research to matter in the world. I understand that perfectly well. That's why I do what I do.
Other professor friends love to hear what I'm working on now; I wish I could figure out a way to live off their need for vicarious thrills. And when I interview academic experts for a story, inevitably I hear about their desires to write for magazines, usually the ones they have sitting on their coffee tables. I don't extract such confessions; they're freely offered. I feel like the nun in Don Delillo's White Noise, who maintains the trappings of her faith so that her secular, cynical contemporaries are freed from belief.
Perhaps the biggest surprise came in a conversation I had with my dissertation supervisor more than a year ago. It started out as a debriefing on my experience on the academic job market in 2000, right after I defended and graduated. That year I had some interviews at the Modern Language Association, a follow-up phone interview, and an invitation for an on-campus visit, which I had turned down. After five years of teaching while I wrote my dissertation, I needed a break, and I didn't want to move to the hinterlands of Colorado, even if you could cross-country ski to class.
And more than anything else, I wanted to write. I was taking a risk, financially and psychologically, but I felt I couldn't stand in a writing class and encourage students to stretch their language, play with ideas, and put their personal investments on the line if I hadn't done so myself, and for stakes that really mattered. I didn't want to be a hypocrite.
I told my dissertation supervisor all the news, then described what I was doing. "Just hang in there," she said. "You can go out again next year. Something will turn up, I'm sure."
"But I really like what I'm doing," I told her. I was learning to battle the learning curve in areas far from my own expertise; I was becoming professionally curious, and national magazines were paying me for it. I also had an agent in New York City, who was encouraging, even if only mildly so. It was all penury and industry, as a friend put it, but I was traveling, reading widely, and meeting people. And I hadn't abandoned my dissertation topic, either — an editor was interested in a piece about the future of linguistics.
"I don't know if I want to go back on the job market," I told her. "I'm having a good time doing what I'm doing."
She paused. "Well," she said, "I've always had a fantasy about myself as a freelance writer. You know, go out there and be able to write whatever you want."
As a graduate student, you keep so much under wraps about yourself, for fear that if anyone found out, your professional credibility would be lost, particularly if that person had the power to dictate the shape of the rest of your life. She knew that I wrote, but she considered it a hobby, I thought. Suddenly I realized: I was a threat.
I remembered the time I gave her a photocopy of my short story that the North American Review had published. For some reason I thought that academic colleagues spread the happiness of publication with each other, so I scribbled a note of appreciation to her on the top of the story and gave it to her.
She took the story. Her eyes flashed over it. "What's this?" she asked. Eventually she managed a look of mild pleasure, but I never found out the reason for her restrained reaction. Perhaps this wasn't protocol after all. Or maybe, as a graduate student, I didn't quite count as a colleague yet. Once I heard her secret fantasy, however, I had a better idea. Was she restraining her envy?
All these confessions are not simply cases of greener grass, I believe. Instead it's a symptom of a delirium that's endemic to the profession, particularly in the humanities. Only now do I see it clearly. It's a version of that deep need that crops up among academics, the need to prove that what one does is relevant in the world. It's a fear that what one spends all one's time doing does not, in the end, matter.
In that sense, the rhetoric of the "public intellectual" and the "intellectual entrepreneur" is one way that academics try to professionalize this fear. They do not acknowledge the fear, and they do not conquer it. They merely paper it over.
And what academics do not know is that journalists have a similar fantasy, except it works in reverse. As I've met more journalists and other news-media types, they express surprise that I would actually leave the academy. A fellow magazine writer once asked me, Why would you leave something you're good at? Some journalists I've talked to want to teach someday, to see an audience face-to-face, to change them, to really have an impact on the future. And to be able to write and study one topic in-depth for the rest of your life? Now that's a job I'd like to have.

NY court upholds online impersonator charges
ALBANY, N.Y. — New York's highest court on Tuesday upheld a man's convictions for criminal impersonation and forgery for using Internet aliases to damage reputations, opening a portal for other prosecutions in the computer age.
The Court of Appeals upheld 19 misdemeanor charges against Raphael Golb, who used online pseudonyms to mock scholars in an academic debate about the Dead Sea Scrolls. The judges concluded that many of Golb's emails were "more than a prank intended to cause temporary embarrassment" and therefore rose to the misdemeanor charges.

.. the guy said that the writers were making Jane look good by making everyone else look dumb.
In my opinion, I thought the episode was great, well planned, class A stuff, like usual.
But analysing things in a realistic manner.. yeah, the guy's got a point. Jane is the guy with excellent mind but it far exceeds of his colleagues that sometimes they are there just to do the manual labor while he looks good smiling to a defeated foe.
I think this episode could've been worked better.. maybe 2 parts and with her at home with a bunch of pills and the gun as a cliff hanger..
Yeah, her nervous breakdown was a bit too much. Sure, she seems just as empty as Jane. No real life besides work but screaming and throwing a chair out of a window? Hmm..
The best part was some character development of Lisbon. Knowing a bit about her past, her relationship with her family. That was good.
Anyways, let's see the next one.

I mean, a man-hunt for one person turns into Martial Law in Boston? It just seems like Red Dawn or some bad movie... You should not put civilians at risk in ANY way. Not their belongings, their pets, their personal property. Nothing. Its not worth it.... Now if the North Koreans had just invaded boston, maybe Martial law is imminent, but to go to Martial law because of a teenager with a gun... Thats an overkill.
Its just troublesome that at the drop of a hat, Martial Law was declared...
A guy robbed a bank laster Thursday on Hilton Head Island. Made me late for work... They had a check point where the cops looked in all of our cars. Didnt stop us, but looked in one by one to make sure the suspect was not in the car. He was labaled as "Armed with a handgun and Bomb".... So, same kind of deal....
Did it bother me that I was stuck in traffic and they looked into my window from 3 feet away. Didnt stop any of us... No, that didnt bother me. I knew some sh** was popping off. But on the other hand, had they not found the guy and started going door to door entering homes until "They found their guy"... yeah, then i would have had a HUGE problem....
Law enforcement has to do their jobs, but some bad guys just simply get away... And getting these people "By any means unnecessary" is not the way to go for me... I mean, we had to *****foot around for 10 years to properly seize Bin laden... Maybe we should have just sent the Boston PD after him.... They would have marched right into Pakistan from the jump and handled that business.

They were not putting civilians at risk. They were removing them from the risk before they entered the homes. Those silly "conspiracy sites" say they were arresting innocent civilians in their homes. It's just not true.
You can take your dog out with you... In fact the cops most likely asked people to take their dogs out.
A guy that robbed a bank is not the "same kind of deal." There is a huge difference between a theif and a person targeting civilians to Kill. No?

try this
So......... what the Boston Metro dudes did to find Dazoharkarharhar T-SAV was wrong because it hints at martial law?
So, I reckon they should have just gone on as normal and told the normal beat cops, " Hey by the way if you see this dude check him oot." ??? No big deal, man.
And I assume many Boston metro people are armed and I guess they should have just shot any dude that looked like Dazoharkarharhar T-Sav?
Wow, what are you guys doing on Swellinfo? Y'all should be running our country. You guys know how to handle bombings and major manhunts........All been to Harvard to study the constitution.......watch Alex Jones........
Oh surfingwasteland dude, so neither side is correct, huh? What does that leave? I doubt you are more intelligent than any of the participants in this discussion, both sides. We challenge you to a knowledge bowl.
Now, I don't find fault at how the events were handled at Boston. And yes, I think those dudes did it. But, this may surprise some of you but I am no fan of the government and have wanted to become a friendly righteous dictator of this land for some time....
Freedom dudes........how aboot this: Driving is not a privelege(man I just can't spell that word). It should be a right as a free American. You guys should be upset at drivers liscenses, tags, registration, inspections.........Man truck that. That ain't freedom. Cars are just a good way to keep tabs on people and initiate police intereference by pull-overs...
Man The Drug War..........Oh come on............That's Freedom?
Everytime a white girl gets killed, they adopt laws pertaining to the circumstance of her death........Really, Americans can't cross a street without pedestrian laws......
Man, Erock wants to build some **** on his house and a shed.....He's got to get building permits??? Man,,,,,that ain't freedom....
I love prostitutes...........but I can't legally get them here.......Man, that ain't freedom.

As far as the bank robber, yes, its the same kind of deal. No he didn't detonate a bomb in public, but he threatened to. He walked in the BOA, filled with civilians and threatened to shoot the place up and detonate a bomb inside, so as far as I am concerned, he should have been handled with the same expectations as the bombers did. You must assume when dealing with these kind of people that they are in fact capable of doing what they intend to do....
And as far as removing the civilians from harms way... As the final facts of this situation played out, there was in fact ZERO danger inside anyone's homes. The kid never entered anyone's home. Period. So I am not sure what intel they had, but I am sure they believed that he may have. But he didn't. He was never in a home. No one in the neighborhood was "in danger". The kid could have held people at gun point, or kicked down doors, but he didn't. He was hiding like the coward that he is.
So telling families to leave their homes while the authorities sweep the house, and the closets and any other possible locations.... what kind of "safety" did they really offer any of those people? A possible standoff while they stood in the front yard. Initiating a conflict with a suspect inside someones home, filled with their personal belongings? Keeps sakes? In doing this, they very well could have pushed him to entering a home with force. A million different things could have happened, but in the end i DO NOT believe that the people in that neighborhood were put into a safer situation by martial law and being removed from their homes to be searched. I mean, its not Nazi germany in the 40s. Its Boston in 2013. A simple: "Hey, is everyone in your home accounted for? Yes. Any crazy bombers break in? No. Blink your eyes twice if you are being put up to these statements... Thank you for your time." Move on.... Rest and repeat...
But again, community watch caught the suspect. Martial law failed as the authorities overlooked the suspect and allowed him to sneak right back into a now "secure" area... Not very secure since they completely missed the guy and with choppers and a million guys on the ground, this kid snuck right past them back into the secured area while they continued entering home, thus producing nothing.

Capitalize on our competitive rates and to take advantage of our many products and services.
FHLBank Topeka's affordable housing and community development programs can help.
We make a difference by helping our members build their communities.
Home: Community Programs | Community Spotlight
FHLBank Topeka's mission is to partner with our members to make a difference in communities throughout Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Here are four examples of our partnerships in action.
Emporia, Kansas
Affordable Housing Program Grant
Affordable Housing Program Grant
You hear a lot about young adults in the millennial generation not pursuing homeownership. Tristen Miller, a 22-year-old Coloradan, broke that mold.
Thanks to Habitat for Humanity of Teller County, Tristen and her two young nieces moved into a new home in October 2015.
"Having this home provides us stability and peace of mind," she said. "It's great to have a designated place to do homework and a good neighborhood for the girls to play in."
As part of the Habitat for Humanity project, Tristen not only purchased her own home, she also helped build it. She provided 300 hours of sweat equity to make her new home a reality.
One way Habitat for Humanity of Colorado supplements their funding pool for projects like Tristen's house is through help from FHLBank Topeka and its members. The Habitat for Humanity state organization was awarded a $400,000 Affordable Housing Program grant in 2012 through FirstBank, Lakewood, Colo.
"With over 20 years of history between us, FirstBank is proud to be associated with such a worthwhile organization like Habitat for Humanity," said Mark O'Connor, SVP, Director of Investments for FirstBank. "The Bank anticipates future projects where this partnership will continue for many years to come."
Columbus, Nebraska
Homeownership Set-aside Program
"We got pre-approved with no money down to see what the monthly payments would be," said Krista. "It resulted in a monthly payment that we wouldn't be able to afford."
Luckily, Justin and Krista's realtor helped connect them with Hollie Olk at Pinnacle Bank. She helped find the best financing options and applied for a Homeownership Set-aside Program grant through FHLBank Topeka. Pinnacle Bank, an FHLBank Topeka member since 1992, helped 25 new homebuyers through the HSP in 2016.
The $5,000 down payment helped bring the Moon family's monthly payment to an amount they could afford, and they moved into their new home this summer. The move came just in time – Krista is expecting their third child later this year.
Lincoln, Nebraska
Discounted Advance Program
"Rehabilitation is my life right now. It's everything to me," he said. "Having this affordable apartment that is wheelchair accessible helps me focus on getting better."
Prairie Crossing is a 76-unit apartment and townhouse development managed by the Lincoln Housing Authority. It is open to Lincoln residents with low incomes and includes several wheelchair-accessible apartments.The project was financed by West Gate Bank, Lincoln, with help from a $2 million discounted Community Housing Program advance through FHLBank Topeka.
"With this and other projects in low-income areas," said Carl Sjulin, West Gate Bank's president, "FHLBank's special funding is one of the key parts of our success."
Yukon, Oklahoma
Ann Hauenstein, an interior designer in Oklahoma City, wanted to purchase a home before her upcoming wedding. As a new homeowner, the downpayment was daunting. That's where The First State Bank, Oklahoma City, Okla., stepped in to help with the support of FHLBank Topeka's Homeownership Set-aside Program.
"Without that grant, we would not have been able to purchase this home," Ann said. "It has opened up so many other things we can do now. We finally feel like we've put down some roots."
The First State Bank was able to offer Ann a $7,500 HSP grant to help with her downpayment on a new home in Yukon, Okla. Matt Brown, VP of mortgage lending for The First State Bank, worked with Ann on her mortgage and presented the opportunity for an HSP grant.
"We don't take the responsibility of helping our customers lightly. We know it's a huge milestone for them to acquire their first home," Matt explained. "The Homeownership Set-aside Program gets buyers into homes when they are almost there. It helps them achieve their goal."
The First State Bank, an FHLBank Topeka member since 2006, helped 43 new homebuyers through the HSP in 2014. They were able to help so many in the Oklahoma City area due to a change to the program that expanded grant opportunities to urban areas. Previously only rural first-time homebuyers had been able to participate in the HSP.

|Smoothing language model by Lucene
|Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:40:52 GMT
I've had an old implementation Lucene-lm by ilps, which is a good start. However, that implementation doesn't include smooth algorithm. And I found it particularly hard to re-write the core scoring mechanism to enable smooth. (Background: In language model, smoothing strategy adds a little constant weight to documents with zero query frequency. Of course it doesn't change anything for one keyword, but consider the case of multiple-keyword query, when one document is strongly relevant to a few distinguishing keywords, smoothing may be important) In the lucene framework for a multiple-keyword query (say, the simplest unigram, non-positional query), the following procedure happens, as my understanding: 1)QueryParser parse query string to BooleanQuery.clauses (weights) 2)(The corresponding scorer of BooleanQuery ) merges all document scores for each clause 3) but the problem is: each clause's termdocs only contains inversed index of clause, thus make smoothing strategy impossible, because the document won't be scored by each query term. What can I do about that? What class should I concentrate on? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Smoothing-language-model-by-Lucene-tp3709311p3709311.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Barack Obama is the internet's president. There's an endless bounty of GIFs, mash-up videos, and memes to prove it. A big part of the president's online appeal is that he is a participant: he can be funny on Twitter, play to your emotions on Instagram, make not terrible playlists on Spotify. He even dared to sit down Between Two Ferns: For all of his engagement, it's no surprise that Barack Obama is the subject of one of the longest-lasting and most prominent memes on the internet. A search for "Thanks, Obama"returns about 23 million results on Google: images, GIFs, Reddit posts, videos, and entire tumblrs. Thanks, Obama! (Giphy) Nona Willis Aronowitzwho wrote about the meme forMatter, says "Thanks, Obama" has a lot to say about American politics in 2015. "The backdrop is a river of problems for the United States," she says, recalling the meme's 2009 origin. "Conservatives almost immediately started blaming everything on him and saying 'Thanks, Obama' in a pretty sincere way. The phrase is sarcastic, but the meaning was sincere." Before long, Obama-supporters and budding internet comedians found a way to flip the phrase on its head. "The Washington Postpegsit to one not very funny video onYouTubethat's supposed to be funny," says Aronowitz. "People started using the hashtag to mock people who blame him for everything." Thanks, Obama! (Giphy) What started as a conservative refrain became one of the internet's favorite jokes in no time, but the third act of "Thanks, Obama" was the most satisfying. In February of this year, Barack Obama himself starred in a BuzzFeed videoand employed the phrase after failing to dunk a coaster-sized cookie in an unaccommodating glass of milk. As we enter the final year of Obama's second term, there's not much more to expect from this particular meme, but don't be surprised if the internet keeps thanking Obama long after his presidency. Thanks, Obama! (Medium)
