Message Board Post:
I'm stuck at the same point with John Roger Kennedy (I am his great-granddaughter). My grandfather, Alexander Kennedy, wrote up a family tree in 1965 and I have typed it below verbatim from his original since some of the spelling differs from your search. I hope it helps. Also, my grandfather was an avid photographer and a few years ago I put his photos on cd for my family. Several photos of the Adrian family are contained in my grandfather's albums. If you would like, I can copy the cd for you - just let me know where to send it.
Good luck and please share anything you discover - I will do likewise.

SIP at the Renaissance Long Beach Hotel
111 E. Ocean Blvd.
Long Beach, CA 90802
Long Beach, CA 90802
This bar embodies that seeming contradiction that makes Long Beach a great city: Behind its edgy, urban ambiance is a feeling of casual friendliness. It's located in the heart of downtown, inside the 12-floor, nearly 400-room Renaissance Long Beach hotel, but anyone can walk right in and order up one of its signature cocktails. Try the Cuban Society, a blend of Bacardi Razz rum with mint, raspberry and lime flavors. It also makes Aviations with Bombay Sapphire gin, Crème de Violette, lemon and Luxardo Maraschino. As a nod to its hotel environs, Sip also offers internationally inspired cocktails. And as the bartenders will tell you, all the juices used for cocktails are fresh-squeezed daily. Specialty beers-including Yellowtail, Calico Amber and McGarvey's Scottish Ale-sit alongside domestic faves such as Budweiser and Miller. Happy hour goes from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with drinks and appetizers running from $1 to $6.

The DAILY PUCK for December 13, 2010
by Ben Rauscher, RotoWire Writer
Around The Rink
-- What is happening to the Capitals recently? Sunday night saw them spanked in New York as the host Rangers scored a touchdown and pitch a shutout. Henrik Lundqvist with another tremendous performance between the pipes; this time with 31 saves for his fifth shutout of the season.
-- Frustration for star Alexander Ovechkin who dropped the gloves with Brandon Dubinsky. Judges awarded the fight to BD who landed some overhead rights before AO wrestled him to the ice. It should be noted that Ovechkin left the game in the third after being hit with a puck, but the game was already well out of reach.
-- Offensively, the Rags were lead by Ryan Callahan who had a pair of goals, while defenseman Marc Staal tallied shorthanded (his fifth goal of the year) and added a helper.
-- Semyon Varlamov allowed all seven goals on 20 Ranger shots. Hmmm... Michal Neuvirth anyone?
-- Roberto Luongo nearly records his third shutout of the season, but rookie Jordan Eberle scores with five seconds left in the game to ruin a solid all around performance by the Canucks.
-- Henrik and Daniel Sedin both with two points in the 2-1 win over the division rival Oilers in Edmonton... funny enough its Hank with the goal, a power-play marker, and Dank with a pair of helpers.
-- HUGE night for Corey Perry who scored in each period for his first career hat trick (I had to double check that because it didn't seem right that this former first rounder hasn't had one before). Perry also had two assists to give him five points on the night; the second time he has accomplished this feat in his career. Goals were scored 19 seconds into the first period, on a second-period penalty shot and finally on a third-period power play.
-- So where Perry goes, so do Ryan Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan who both had three-point nights.
-- 113,411 spectators for the Big Chill at the Big House, an outdoor game between Michigan and Michigan State. This sets a world record for attendance for a hockey game and is a record for any game played in Michigan. Who says hockey is an unpopular sport in the US?
Magnus Paajarvi may have had his five-game point streak snapped Sunday, but the kid has really hit his stride with a goal and five assists over this span.
But, ahem ... some guy named Sidney Crosby has an 18-game point streak and has stamped himself atop the league as the best player in the game right now.
Offensively, there isn't any one player in particular benefiting from Crosby's streak, but between the pipes Mac-Andre Fleury has really stepped it up. Fleury is riding a personal 11-game win streak - hope fantasy owners bought low on this guy back when he was 3-6-1.
Marc Staal has two goals and three assists in six December games.
On the flipside of the Staal family, Eric Staal hasn't recorded a point in his four games this Christmas month.
With one goal and one assist over his last 10 games, Chris Pronger is firmly planted on the cold list.
Also from the blue line, Mike Green's lone assist over his last 10 cannot be good for those that invested a first-round pick on him. Injuries may have a major part to his only producing 14 points in 25 games.
After missing nearly a month, Martin Brodeur hasn't been able to find the win column in two attempts. He is now on a personal four-game losing streak.
Recommended Pickup
Both Joffrey Lupul and Marco Sturm return from injuries and will play an important offensive role with their respective clubs. Lupul is already shaking off the rust of nearly a year off due to back issues, but Sturm will need some time to get acclimated to his new team. Both offer some in-season help to struggling fantasy teams.
Monday Game Information
Los Angeles @ Detroit, 7:30pm EST
Probable starter - Jonathan Quick
Willie Mitchell - Probable; cleared to resume playing after missing a little over four weeks with a fractured wrist.
Scott Parse - Out; unlikely to be back on the ice until sometime in February.
Marco Sturm - Questionable; unlikely to play Monday, partly due to the recent trade issues, but mostly because he is unfamiliar with the Kings system. Expect him later in this Kings' road trip.
Red Wings:
Probable starter - Jimmy Howard
Mike Modano - Out indefinitely with a wicked wrist injury.
Atlanta @ Ottawa, 7:30pm EST
Probable starter - Ondrej Pavelec
Probable starter - Brian Elliot
NY Islanders @ Nashville, 8:00pm EST
Probable starter - Rick DiPietro
Bruno Gervais - Out; hasn't been in the liuneup after fracturing cheek in last month.
Trent Hunter -Out; knee injury has him on IR for at least a couple months.
Mike Mottau - Out; eye injury will see him sit for a few weeks.
Kyle Okposo - Out, skating in full gear and hearing good things, but no firm timetable for his return.
Probable starter - Anders Lindback
Pekka Rinne - Out; knee surgery will sideline the Preds' starter until the New Year.
Matthew Lombardi - Out; concussion will keep him out indefinitely.
Columbus @ Calgary, 9:00pm EST
Blue Jackets:
Probable starter - Steve Mason
Kristian Huselius - Questionable; his return from the dreaded high-ankle sprain is now on a day-to-day basis. If he is available on the waiver wire, make a pre-emptive pickup for this 60-point player.
Probable starter - Miikka Kiprusoff
Steve Staois - Out; shoulder injury will sideline the light-scoring blueliner indefinitely.
Daymond Langkow - Out; no news on any sort of return from a major pain in the neck.
Chicago @ Colorado, 9:00pm EST
Probable starter - Corey Crawford
Marian Hossa - Out; lower-body injury to keep him off skates until the New Year.
Patrick Kane - Out; a leg injury suffered against the Flames will put the star in the press box for about three weeks.
Probable starter - Craig Anderson
Kyle Cumiskey - Out; hasn't skated since suffering concussion in October. No return timetable.
TJ Galiardi - Out; expected back soon.
Peter Mueller - Out; concussion makes his return this season questionable, he's had no recent progress.
Chris Stewart - Out; a broken hand will keep him out until sometime in January.
Dallas @ San Jose, 10:30pm EST
Probable starter - Andrew Raycroft
Kari Lehtonen - Out; it seems that with the team (and Andrew Raycroft) playing so well, there is little reason to rush the injury-prone Lehtonen back into action.
Toby Petersen - Out; hit by a Mike Green slap shot and currently sitting on IR.
Marc Fistric - Out; groin issues keeping him out of skates, but no timetable for return.
Probable starter - Antti Niemi
Devin Setoguchi - Out; unknown injury forcing him to miss time (and maybe the net too?)

I am so thrilled to have been able to review the Santa's Magical Stories. Growing up, every year is was such a pleasure to sit down as a family and watch the classic Christmas movies. Now, as a mother, it is just as much a tradition to sit down and watch them with my kids.
This set of Santa's Magical Stories will provide you with many hours of Christmas classic stories. There are three DVDs, each loaded with feature movies and bonus materials. There is plenty of material in just these 3 DVDs to last you throughout the Christmas season.
Disk one is the all time favorite Christmas classic story of Dr. Seuss "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". Christmas is just not Christmas without watching this classic that originated in 1967. A classic is something that stands the test of time, and I believe this Dr. Seuss story of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" is the epitome of Christmas classic story. It has entertained children and adults alike for many years.
The Grinch is a despicable creature who would like nothing more than to ruin Christmas for the Whos' in Whoville. What he finds is that Christmas isn't in the presents, feast or decorations. It is in the heart, and being with family. It is love, and it is not something that can be stolen. I remember watching this as a child and the picture was grainy and the colors muted. Thanks to technology, the picture is crisp, vibrant and updated without changing the feel. The narration sounds the same. Very nostalgic and brings back the Christmases of my childhood.
As fantastic as Dr. Seuss "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" is, there are two bonus movies that my kids and I haven't seen before, and we were truly impressed. The first one was The Leprechaun' Christmas Gold. This was a stop motion picture and it is a tale of a first mate who was ordered to go to an island to dig up a pine tree. While digging he sees a leprechaun family. He finally gets the tree dug up and a witch appears out of the ground. A rainbow appears in the sky and at the end is a treasure. It is just a really neat story that is about 25 minutes long. The second is Pinocchio's Christmas. It, too, is a stop motion film. Some not so nice characters steal Pinocchio and the story just blossoms from there. This was my daughter's favorite. Great story and kid friendly characters make this 49 min feature film a blast for the kids.
Disk 1 extras include:
- The Grinch song with commentary from children. There is even a new rap rendition about the movie.
Grinch Pencil Test
- Making Animation and Bringing It To Life (Commentary from the original Cindy Lou Who- June Foray and animator Phil Romen)
- Who's Who in Whoville (This is bio of the animators, directors and Cindy Lou Who).
Disk Two is A Christmas Without Santa. This is a stop motion film filled with bright characters and fun to sing a long to tunes. Each film has the caption turned on, which we loved, because it is great for new readers to be able to read along and also it is so fun to be able to sing along to the songs.
As Mrs. Clause tells it, it was a curious, furious, fidgety year when Santa unhitched his sleigh and vowed he was talking a holiday. Mrs. Clause and Santa's trusty elves, Jingle and Jangle, and a newly made friend Issy set out to find help for Santa to get his holiday. The Miser Brothers and Mother Nature are brought in to help in the cause, too. I am not going to tell the whole story, but I can tell you kids are really going to enjoy this movie. Tons of songs and bright characters fill each scene. There are also two feature films on this disk too. Rudolph's Shiny New Year (This is a sequel to Rudolph the red nose reindeer film) and Nestor, The Long Eared Christmas Donkey, which my daughter claimed a new favorite. Nestor is just so adorable and pulls at the heart strings.
Disk 2 extras include:
- We Are Santa's Elves (This is a commentary on the Christmas Classics)
- Stop Motion 101 (I just love the stop motion films)
Disk Three, Jack Frost, is chock full of Christmas stories galore. My daughter has watched this one over since I watched it with her. There are two featured films and one bonus film. The two featured films are Jack Frost and A Miser Brothers' Christmas. Jack Frost is a tale of Jack Frost who is a immortal who falls in love with a mortal girl named Elisa. Jack petitions Father Time to let him become human. Father time final agrees, but only if Jack can prove himself worthy of being human. The colors and the scenes in this movie are so spot on, that they are chilling and make the atmosphere almost frosty. I found that my kids and I were up to our necks in snuggies, blankets and pillows. We thoroughly enjoyed these movies.
The next feature film was A Miser Brothers' Christmas. I believe I liked this one best. I love the punchy lines that the Miser Brothers (Heat Miser and Snow Miser) deliver. Mother Nature gathers her children to the table to check her childrens' (Earthquake, Lightening and Thunder, Northern Wind, the Miser Brothers and others) progress and to let them know they must make sure Santa is able to carry out Christmas, for all the children. One of the siblings wants nothing more than to thwart Santa's journey, but, the Miser Brothers must make sure that Santa's mission is completed, thus making them work together.
The Bonus movie is Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July. It runs 96 minutes, of just as appealing scenes and characters as Jack Frost. We have never seen this particular movie, so I didn't know what to expect. It was a bit darker of a movie. Winterbolt, the creature that awakens, the two snow dragons and slithery snake scared her. She wasn't sure she wanted to continue to watch it and put the covers over her head. But when Rodulph and Frosty were on, I saw her peeking from the covers. She was happy when Winterbolt meet his demise, though. Ha ha.
Disk 3 extras include:
- Totally Cool Crafty Creations (My daughter made the snowflake and the snow globe) Taught by Flakey
- Snip's Snowy Sing-a-long
- What Make Stop Motion Go
- Happiness is Peanuts Snow Days
This is one set that you will want to grab because these films are classic Christmas stories that your children and their children will want to watch for years to come.
Purchase your copy of Santa's Magical Stories at Amazon.com for $20.49.
This post was written for Warner Home Video who provided the complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review.

customer reviews for graber vertical blinds
"Nice, solid product"
By Miniscape from Hudson Valley
I was trying to match some old blinds with the fabric inserted in a rigid vane. One out of four in the room had broken. This new one matched beautifully and was of better quality than my old ones. Went up easy breezy. These solid verticals insulate big windows well too. Thanks!View this product

I have bought many verticals in my 70 years of living,but I have never found any as easy to install as these. 20 minutes each window. They look fantastic.View this product

Michael Egnew, tight end, Missouri (6-6, 245)
Egnew doesn't play nearly as fast as he times out and has a tough time getting in and out of his breaks. Is more of a straight-line guy who can threaten the seam, but a guy like Orson Charles from Georgia, in my mind, would have been a better selection.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I made this costume with my mother--the last one we did together before she passed away. She did much of the sewing, while I did the headpiece engineering, painting and other grunt work. The neck stole has red cording stitched and glued for texture and the dress has the same cording stitched into raised channels to match the details from the movie dress. The domes used to light up but I have since removed the light rigging for fear of the battery packs corroding on to the costume. The painting on the long stole is badly done, but I didn't have the patience to embroider the piece to be more accurate when I was making the costume.
- Personal Thoughts:
- Needs some minor repairs and I need to lose some weight, but I would LOVE to get back into this costume sometime. Maybe I'll have to redo it eventually and fix some mistakes. I have someone wanting to be my handmaiden. Maybe I'll revist this soon, do some updates and make it Rebel Legion worthy.

Invasive frogs may spread deadly amphibian fungus
Imported African species implicated in B. dendrobatidis epidemic
More evidence has just dropped into place suggesting that frogs once imported to the United States for pregnancy testing could have spread a fungus deadly to many native amphibian species.
From about the 1940s into the 1970s, medical labs tested for pregnancy-associated hormonal changes by injecting human urine into readily available and easy-to-work-with African clawed frogs. If a woman was pregnant, traces of hormones in her urine would accelerate egg development in the frog.
Frogs sometimes escaped or were set free, allowing African clawed frogs to get a foothold in North America.

All Empires Must Fall!
West Coast Anti-Capitalist Mobilization Against the G8
July 6-8, San Francisco
Call for the West Coast anti-war and anti-capitalist mass convergence, July 6-8 of 2005 in San Francisco, in solidarity with the mobilization against the Group of Eight (G8) summit in Scotland. July 8 is the day of the March.
Convergence Schedule:
July 6: Informational discussion forum, film screening, and and fundraising event. 7 pm, location to be announced on the website.
July 7: Spokescouncil at 7 pm, Village Market (18th St. & Florida).
July 8: Take to the streets in protest and action against the G8 & the Capitalist War Machine!
Meet at 8 pm. 16th St. & Mission BART.
From July 6-8, 2005, the annual G8 summit will be held at Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland. The G8 is a forum of the rulers of the eight most industrialized, wealthy, and powerful states in the world. Every year they meet to discuss how to further their interests, expand their empire, and tighten their grip on every aspect of our lives. The consequences effect us all, and their economic success comes at our expense. The G8 exists to manage and maintain a system whose impacts we see all around us: war, genocide, wage slavery, mass poverty, structural racism, famine, environmental destruction, colonial domination in Africa, Asia, & Latin America, social alienation, and accelerating attacks on working people around the world.
But resistance is growing across the globe, in struggles as diverse as they are numerous. And in recent years, everywhere the G8 has met huge movements of people have confronted them, both demanding systemic change and fighting for a global social revolution. In recognition of the call to action by Peoples' Global Action (agp.org) for Global Days of Action to be held against the G8, we are mobilizing for a regional convergence here in San Francisco. We are calling on everyone ready to fight for a better world - workers, students, revolutionaries, anti-capitalists... - from across the North American West Coast to converge and manifest their resistance on the streets. A Mid-West regional convergence is being called for in Kansas City (check out: anarchistaction.org/g8), and East Coast in Richmond, Virginia.
Our convergence will be in solidarity with those descending upon the streets of Scotland to face the G8 head on. We act in solidarity with revolutionaries taking to the streets to defend working peoples' lives all around the world: the struggle against neoliberal privatization in Bolivia; against transit fare increases in Brazil, Chicago, and San Francisco; against the Minutemen along the border; and against the PG&E power plant in Hunter's Point.
Global capital will show the full force of its domestic military capabilities in Scotland - we can confront these summits on our own terms, and this mobilization is a step in that direction.
Capitalism is everywhere, but so are we - we will converge in our city and fight it on our own terms!
Free Housing will be available.

We can trace the places named by St Bede in Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis
Anglorum - thank you Joe for the posting
> Those, who came from Germany on this occasion, were of the three bravest
nations, Saxons, Angles, and Jutes. From the Jutes are descended the people
of Kent, and of the Isle of Wight; and those who to this day are called
Jutes in the province of the West Saxons, situated opposite to the Isle of
Wight. From the Saxons, that is to say from that country, which is now
called Old Saxony, came the East, the West, and the South Saxons. From the
Angles, or the country called Anglia, (which is said to have remained almost
destitute of inhabitants ever since,) and is situated between the countries
of the Jutes and Saxons, are descended the East Angles, the Mercians, the
Midland Angles, and the whole race of the Northumbrians, who possess that
part of the island which lies to the North of the river Humber, and the rest
of the English People.<
Jutes - Kent
West Saxons - Sussex (West and East)
West Saxons - Wessex (Dorset, Devon, Somerset etc)
East Saxons - Essex
East Angles - East Anglia (Suffolk, Norfolk)
The origin of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes in Southern Danish
Jutland,Schleswig-holstein and North Germany and North Holland is contiguous
and we may probably never use DNA to differentiate between the geographical
origin of the peoples.
Note that in England in those days there was much separation of kingdoms
because the geography was different to today.
For instance the estuary of the Humber (behind which the Northumbrians
sheltered) was a greater obstacle between the north and south of England as
the English Channel is today.
There were many marshes. So the main tribes were geographically isolated in

TRAVELLERS rejoice, the first commercial non-stop flights from Australia to Europe are on the horizon.
Turkish Airlines CEO Temel Kotil has revealed plans to operate a non-stop Istanbul-Sydney route, as reported by Air Transport World.
The airline will beat Qantas to the punch - the Flying Kangaroo had hoped to be the first carrier in the world to operate the Australia to Europe route without stopping.
The Turkish Airlines route will at first include a stopover in Asia by 2014, but within three years is expected to become non-stop when the airline gets its hands on planes capable of flying the super long-haul routes, the 777-300ER and then the 777-200LR.
At a distance of 14,956 kilometres, Istanbul-Sydney will become the longest commercial air route in the world when launched.
Singapore Airlines currently holds the title of the longest flights on its Singapore-New York Newark Airport route at 15,544km and just under 19 hours. However, the route will be discontinued later this year.
Qantas will then take over the title for the Sydney-Dallas Fort Worth route at 13,800km - until Turkish Airlines steps in.
The announcement by Turkish Airlines will benefit passengers. Istanbul Airport, which is growing at a faster rate than Dubai Airport, provides easy and frequent connections to other European cities.

Perhaps Mavis Rivers will be unknown to younger jazz fans but will be fondly remembered by those of us with grey or missing hair. Rivers was born in British Samoa in 1929 and was one of 13 children. Her father was a bandleader in the Hawaiian style. Mavis and her family moved to New Zealand about 1949 where she performed on radio and at dance halls. She later settled in Los Angeles and married bassist, David Catingub.
A recording contract followed with Capitol Records where she turned out a number of vinyl issues with arranger Dick Reynolds. Even in those early recordings, Mavis was singing tunes made popular by Mildred Bailey. One of those was "Home", penned by Peter Van Steeden in 1931 and Mildred recorded it within months.
Enough history! Let's get to the meat of this great reissue. Mavis and Red Norvo are ideal for this session. Norvo was, as you all know, married to Mildred for years. Mavis Rivers makes no attempt to copy Bailey's voice and style but manages to successfully capture her "essence and demeanor". There will never be another Mildred Bailey!
Here are a few of the dozen songs presented on this CD. How about "There'll Be Some Changes Made", "Georgia On My Mind", "Rockin' Chair", "I'm Confessin'", "Seems Like Old Times" and "Ghost of a Chance."
The musicians including Norvo, Sweets Edison, Eric Dixon and the great Bill Harris all throw in some fine solos making this a really good session. The beautiful exchanges between Mavis, Sweets and Norvo on "Seems Like Old Times" are well worth the price of the CD.
Mavis died in 1992 after suffering a stroke on-stage. Her son, saxophonist Matt Catingub, recently performed "Songs My Mother Sang" at a concert with his band in Auckland, New Zealand in September 2000.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Michelle Williams says she found comfort in Joan Didion's book "The Year of Magical Thinking" after the death of her former beau, Heath Ledger.
Ledger, star of "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Dark Knight," died of an accidental drug overdose in 2007.
He and Williams were no longer dating at the time of his death; however, they have a young daughter and continued raising her together despite the split. Since his death, Williams has said little in public about losing him.
"In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone," UsMagazine.com quoted Williams as saying about the year after Ledger's death in an interview for TV's "Nightline."
"It didn't seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear behind a bush," Williams explained. "It was a year of very magical thinking, and in some ways I'm sad to be moving further and further away from it. ... I've found meanings around the circumstance, but the actual event itself still doesn't... I can't find a meaning for it. I can find meanings in things and people and relationships that have sprung up, and friendships that have strengthened. I can find a lot of meaning in that, but not in why. I know I got kind of obsessed with that for awhile, the before and after. A lot of things died... There's a line from a book that gave me so much comfort and it said, 'When you've truly lost everything, then at least you can become rich in loss.'"

We model the interrelations of equity market volatility in eight East Asian countries before, during, and after the Asian currency crisis. Using a new class of asymmetric volatility multiplicative error models based on the daily range, we find that dynamic propagation of volatility shocks occurs through a network of interdependencies, and shocks originating in Hong Kong may be amplified in their transmission throughout the system, posing greater risks to the region than shocks originating elsewhere. Although this partly explains the severity of the currency crisis, we also find evidence that parameters shifted, making the system more unstable during the crisis. © 2011 The President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

July is all about clearance.
Retailers want to clear space for autumn shipments, says Dan Butler, VP of retail operations for the National Retail Federation.
Watch for
Apparel: Look for 40 percent to 70 percent off spring holdovers and beach gear. "Some retailers will get very aggressive and mark things down dirt cheap just to get rid of it," Butler said.
Sandals: July introduces the best deals on sandals, and might include discounts from Steve Madden, Crocs, Polo Ralph Lauren and Teva, said Lindsay Sakraida at DealNews.com. Many national retailers will drop prices on flip-flops to under $5.
Garden/tools: Live plants are on a ticking clock, and garden centers will be shoving them out the door. July also begins sales on patio furniture.
And stores that don't sell garden supplies year-round, like Big Lots, will attempt to clear the racks.
Also look for deals on general tool sets, accessories and storage units.
Wait for
Grills and sunglasses. Prices stay high while the sun shines.
"Black Friday" sales: Some retailers have hijacked the phrase, including stamping it on sort-of-summer sales. Don't buy something just because of the sale's name.
"It's pretty obvious to most people that they're not as good as Black Friday," Sakraida said.
Back-to-school promotions: Retailers will receive shipments in July, so you might see some "first markdowns" on those products, especially in the young men's, juniors and children's departments. But they're not rock-bottom prices, Butler said.

" Brand: Schwartz / Type: Chicken "
Schwartz Chargrilled Pasta recipe mix, I got this recently from the local supermarket where it was selling for 2 for £1, they usually retail around the 80p mark per sachet of 35g.
I find these very versatile for a quick fix recipe and so easy to use.
The recipe mix comes in a sachet which is waterproof and has a long shelf life. It takes up no room in your cupboard, so is easily stored.
On opening the product you are immediately hit by the aroma of a tomato based spice mix. It has a garlic and herb base with a grilled flavour.
Just put the chicken, onion, peppers, and mix in a flying pan with the sauce mix, a tin of tomatoes, milk and some cooked pasta. Simmer and voila, the meal is done. So easy
I`ve also used it with pork pieces, which was as nice.
I`ve also used it on potato wedges as the spice, that I can definately recommend. I`ve also used it on a ham and mushroom pasta bake, but if you goto www.schwartz..co.uk you will find loads of ideas, tips and recipes. Dont think that a recipe mix can only do one thing, its very versatile.
Nutritional Information per pack
119 Calories
Protein 3.0g

These are gorgeous and for a quick meal, just pop it in with cooked pasta or rice. MMMmm
Schwartz History
The Schwartz brand was established in 1841 by William Schwartz, the son of a German immigrant, in Halifax, Canada.
William E. Schwartz, the son of the founder, was the first person in Canada to sell pure spices. Formerly only compound spices were sold such as ginger mixed with cornmeal or flour.
Chargrilled Chicken Pasta
Now I'd had this in the cupboard for a good few months and it wasn't until I'd had enough of the same old meals that I came across it. I was searching through all the jars and sachets looking for inspiration and wondered how on earth it managed to stay hidden for so long. So, I decided to give it a go.
What it is
A garlic and herb sauce mix with a grill flavour to be used with chicken and pasta to make a family meal.
The packet
The product comes in a sachet and is quite attractive with the 'Schwartz' logo printed across the top and 'Chargrilled Chicken Pasta' printed underneath. Below that is a picture of the meal, which looks very appetizing.
Thickener (Maize Starch), Sugar, Flavourings (contains Barley), Lo Salt (Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride), Wheat Flour, Onion Powder, Skimmed Milk Powder, Dried Garlic (5%), Cream Powder, Cheese Powder (contains Egg), Black Pepper, Basil, Smoked Paprika, Anti-caking Agent (Silicon Dioxide), Whey Powder, Vegetable Oil, Colour (Carmine), Cayenne Pepper.
Allergy warning - Contains Wheat, Barley, Egg, Milk
It states that this meal is not suitable of vegetarians.
Ingredients needed
350g (12oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, sliced
1 packet of Schwartz Chargrilled Chicken Pasta Recipe Mix
1 tbs oil
400g tin chopped tomatoes
50ml (2 fl oz) milk
275g (10oz) pasta, cooked and drained
1. Place the chicken and the vegetables in a large bowl. Stir in the packet contents.
2. Heat the oil and fry the chicken and vegetable for 5-6 minutes in a frying pan until browned, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the tomatoes and milk and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in the cooked pasta.
5. Serve with salad and garlic bread.
It gives you a 'HINT & TIP' at the bottom of the packet which states:
For Ham & Mushroom Pasta Bake mix the pepper and onion with sliced mushrooms and the packet contents. Fry in oil for 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes and milk and bring to the boil. Stir in sliced ham and cooked pasta. Transfer to a heatproof dish, top with grated Cheddar cheese and grill until golden.
I have only tried the Chicken recipe but the ham and mushroom pasta bake does sound scrumptious - definitely on my 'to-do' list.
When preparing the chicken and vegetables it smelt a little spicy, now I'm not keen on spicy food so I was a bit wary at this point. But, I carried on. As I continued to cook the chicken and veg, the smell became more pleasant. After adding the tomatoes (I used chopped tomatoes with garlic) and the milk it turned a pinky red colour and it looked delicious.
The big taste test.
Now, on the packet it states that it includes 4 servings - let's just say, my other half and I must have very big appetites because we managed to polish off the whole lot between us. It tasted divine, the herbs gave it a very tasty flavour but not overpowering. A lot of 'mmmmm's' and 'aaaahh's' were heard from our dining table, and the odd 'this is lovely'!
I think that this dish would be great if you substituted the pasta with some boiled, mashed or jacket potatoes and maybe some green beans. Another recipe on my 'to-do' list.
All in all, I found this dish totally delicious and would highly recommend it to one and all. Schwartz do many great sauce mixes and I am always looking for something different to make. On my next trip to Asda, I will probably spend a lot of my time (to my boyfriend's annoyance) looking through the other many Schwartz sachets.

CHINA'S economic woes that have brought growth to a three-year low are expected to continue for some time but the slower expansion remains within expectations, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao says.
Speaking yesterday during a tour of the southwestern city of Chengdu, Wen said the Chinese people needed to recognise the seriousness and complexity of the challenges faced by the country.
But Wen added that China's economic fundamentals remained favourable.
"At present, our country's economic growth rate remains within the target range set earlier this year and we are seeing the effectiveness of stabilisation policies," Wen said in remarks posted on the central Government's official website.
The Government is to prioritise job creation and provide financial aid and tax breaks to companies suffering from slowing exports due to sinking overseas demand, Wen said.
Private investment would be encouraged and the government would promote industrial upgrading and urbanisation to spur consumption, he said.
"All regions and departments need to proceed with even greater determination and courage," Wen said.
The Prime Minister's comments followed the Government's announcement on Friday that the world's second-largest economy had grown by 7.6 per cent in the three months ended in June compared with a year earlier. That was the lowest since the first quarter of 2009 during the depths of the global financial crisis (GFC).
Growth was down from the previous quarter's 8.1 per cent, dampening hopes that China could make up for US and European weakness, but in line with the Government's official target of 7.5 per cent for the year.
Private-sector forecasters say the economy may have bottomed out during the first two quarters and China still is likely to achieve its target for the year.
Export growth has fallen and consumer spending weakened despite stimulus measures including two interest rate cuts since the start of June.
The Government also is pumping money into the economy through higher investment by state-owned industry and more spending on low-cost housing and other public works.
However, Beijing is moving cautiously after its 2008 stimulus pushed up inflation and spurred a wasteful building boom.
Authorities have said curbs imposed on building and home sales to cool surging housing prices will remain in place.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. — Abraham Lincoln
In 2011, fitness enthusiast Derek Flanzraich quit his job.
He hoped to use his media business experience to create the defining brand and business for healthy living.
In just one year, his brand became arguably the fastest growing site in the health and fitness space. Shortly after the website's first birthday, Greatist was hitting one million unique visitors per month.
The content was original, well-researched, and above all, consistent. It was on the back of his team of freelance health writers that Derek's site became an industry leader.
Today, nine of every ten organisations are undergoing a Digital Transformation– investing in technology and business models that effectively engage customers at every touch point. Otherwise known as content marketing.
Like Derek, if you do it right, your business growth can be off the charts.
But there are layers upon layers of shit to sift through when looking to outsource tasks online. Especially when it comes to hiring freelancers.
Now assuming you've realised you need to invest in health writing services, and don't anticipate wasting your time with hopeless freelance health writers, consider these five questions before you make any decisions.

You'd think that if Fox News would have learned one thing from the 2012 election, it's that they were losing touch with reality. This divorce between the real Barack Obama and the Fox News Barack Obama, the one Clint Eastwood yelled at during the RNC, led to a huge defeat for the Republican Party, and it's eventually going to lead to viewers turning away from Fox News, if they're not careful. I'm not saying they need to become liberals, but Fox News clearly needs to start operating in the real world, rather than trying to create a hyperbolic caricature of the political world for its viewership.
But, no. Instead, we get more shit like this, which was caught by Mediaite:
During an appearance on FBN's Lou Dobbs Tonight on Tuesday evening, Fox News psychiatric analyst Keith Ablow suggested that President Obama's philosophy of greater government power and more restrictive gun control results from his being "abandoned again and again" as a child.
Ablow told Dobbs that he believes the president "hijacked" the Newtown shootings "in order to advance his desire for gun control," which would include "disempowering the individual" in favor of stricter government rules. The president's views, Ablow said, come from a childhood that included being "abandoned" by people.
That's not even psychiatry; that's just penny-ante literary criticism.

I have talked to many folks about our Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) offering for a little bit now. One of the common questions / complaints I received was around custom applications that a customer might have built on SharePoint and now it doesn't work with BPOS. Or just that it wasn't possible to write custom applications for BPOS and hence why BPOS was not a possibility.
During Tech Ed this year, I had a chance to speak with Datta and Sanjay of Sonata Software out of India who had done just that – wrote a custom application that works with BPOS!! I took the opportunity to chat with them on video about their solution and what it entailed. Understand that this is a 6 minute video interview so it does not get into all the technical details, but does give an idea of how much effort was required and how difficult / easy it was.
As with all my videos, I rendered this one at a high bitrate so the file is a bit large. You can also download a smaller version (lower bitrate) from the Edge posting.

Grief Therapists in 49083
Bereavement, Loss, Mourning
"A therapist must be a good listener. A large part of therapy is "telling one's story" and in the process discovering oneself. I view my role as supporting and guiding this process of growth and self discovery. This may involve exploring patterns from the past or the present. It may helpful to learn new skills (communicating, coping with stress, relaxing or parenting). In addition to psychotherapy, I am working with the elderly and those with chronic illnesses. I have a special interest in the use of journaling for personal growth and creativity."
"Action oriented, directive, and goal driven. I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, anxious, depressed, angry, or frustrated. I work with clients and couples to develop an individualized plan to create change within their current life situation. In addition to our face-to-face counseling sessions, I implement accountability into the counseling process, establishing check-ins with clients to ensure progress and success."

"Therapy is an exploratory, personal and interpersonal conversation. You are the expert on yourself and I am a safe, interactive, guide helping you re shape your, or your loved ones challenges into successful resolve and recovery."
"There are many reasons why people seek counseling. Sometimes it's to deal with long-standing issues with anxiety or depression; other times it is in response to unexpected changes in life such as a divorce, a death or work transition. Therapy provides insight & new perspectives into life's challenges, helps you to create solutions & confidence to make changes. I create a safe, warm, non-judgmental environment for you to explore your choices & emotions, to give you the opportunity to gain insight, self-confidence & new coping skills to navigate life's obstacles more effectively."
"Do you feel like you don't fit in or that you are living as a fraud? Are you vacillating between burying your head in the sand and obsessing about what's going on around you? Are you impatient with family and co-workers? Do you struggle with worry or have difficulty focusing? Using a cutting edge understanding of the Mind, I will help you uncover your resilience to address these issues. I work with adults and older adolescents."

Peru Earthquake: 5.6 Magnitude Quake Shakes Lima (VIDEO)
A Peru earthquake has struck with a magnitude of 5.6 on Tuesday afternoon, shocking locals.
The moderate quake was reported to have shaken buildings across Peru's capital city Lima on Tuesday.
However, in the immediate aftermath there were no reported injuries to people or damage to buildings.
Eye witnesses seemed to confirm that assessment from officials, with some coming forward to tell Reuters afterwards that although shaking was felt, no widespread damage to buildings and no injuries were seen.
Peru's geological survey recorded the tremor as a 5.6 magnitude quake. However, the USGS measured the quake as a 4.6 magnitude tremor.
Officials have reported that the quake was centered on the floor of the Pacific Ocean about 21 miles (35 kilometers) west of Lima.

Historic: President endorses Respect for Marriage Act; would repeal all of DOMA
NOTE: We should hear the explosions of the heads of professional anti-gays shortly…
Killing DOMA — in fact passing difficult pro-LGBT legislation — really requires the President to step up and use his bully pulpit to urge Congress to take action. To say again that DOMA must be repealed — with a specific bill in mind — is perfect timing with tomorrow's hearing coming up. Yes he can, and yes he did this time.
The president has "long called for a legislative appeal for the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, which continues to have a real impact on families," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at Tuesday's briefing. He said the president "is proud" to support the Respect For Marriage Act, "which would take the Defense of Marriage Act off the books for once and for all."
The bill was introduced in the Senate by Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).
Via Chris Geidner at MetroWeekly, the relevant part of the transcript:
Metro Weekly: The president has said in the past that he opposes the Defense of Marriage Act, but he is yet to endorse the Respect for Marriage Act, which is the specific piece of legislation —
Carney: Senator [Dianne] Feinstein [(D-Calif.)], yeah.
Metro Weekly: — aimed to repeal the bill. Tomorrow, the Senate will hold the first hearing into that bill. Is the administration ready to endorse that bill?
Carney: I can tell you that the President has long called for a legislative repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, which continues to have a real impact on the lives of real people — our families, friends and neighbors. He is proud to support the Respect for Marriage Act, introduced by Sen. Feinstein and Congressman [Jerrold] Nadler [(D-N.Y.)], which would take DOMA off the books once and for all. This legislation would uphold the principle that the federal government should not deny gay and lesbian couples the same rights and legal protections as straight couples.
This would repeal ALL of DOMA:
* The federal definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman;
* The section that allows states not to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states;
* The federal government prohibition from recognizing legally performed same-sex marriages.
Congressman Jerry Nadler:
Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), the author and lead sponsor of the Respect for Marriage Act, which would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), lauded President Barack Obama's direct endorsement of his legislation. Nadler is the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and vice-chair of the LGBT Equality Caucus.
"I am thrilled by President Obama's endorsement today of the Respect for Marriage Act, legislation which I introduced in order to repeal the discriminatory and cruel Defense of Marriage Act once and for all," said Nadler. "The President's unprecedented decision to support this timely legislation sends a powerful message to Members of Congress and to the American people that now is the moment to dispense with DOMA and remove this ugly blight from our legal code. The President has consistently supported repeal of DOMA and, with today's announcement, in advance of tomorrow's landmark Senate hearing, he has taken yet another step to make this a reality. On the heels of New York's advancement of marriage equality last month, the Respect for Marriage Act is more necessary than ever to ensure that all legally married couples are treated the same – and granted the same recognition – by the federal government."
The Respect for Marriage Act currently has 118 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives. The Act represents the consensus approach endorsed by the nation's leading LGBT and civil rights stakeholders and legislators, and would ensure that valid marriages are respected under federal law, providing couples with much-needed certainty that they will have the same access to federal responsibilities and rights as all other married couples.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, will chair the first-ever hearing on the Respect for Marriage Act tomorrow. Rep. Nadler will testify on his legislation.
Other reactions were swift. They are below the fold.

Brockwrote a review of MontBell Ultralight Down Parka - Men's on February 14, 2012
Unbelievably light and packs down to the size of a grapefruit in a compression sack. Fantastic as a layering piece for some serious warmth under a hardshell. Also great on its own. Warm with only a T-shirt underneath to about 30 degrees or so, which is amazing for how light this thing is. The fit is athletic, which is nice compared to Patagonia's boxy fit on the down sweater. I had one of those and sent it back because the fit was so terrible. The hood is an excellent addition, and adds quite a bit of warmth. When not in use, you can tighten the drawstring and it acts almost like a scarf, sealing out drafts around the neck. I tried the Patagonia down sweater and Rab microlight alpine jacket, and the fit is definitely the best on the Montbell Ultralight. Perhaps not quite as warm on its own, but you can't beat it as a midlayer or jacket for the shoulder seasons. Very satisfied.

If I have to go through with the surgery, it'll be a short recovery time and I'll be back to basketball before you know it. —Jazz small forward Josh Howard
SALT LAKE CITY — Josh Howard almost couldn't believe what he was being told Tuesday afternoon when brought in to discuss his ailing knee.
Worst part, it was as unfortunate as it was unexpected.
Howard's knee had experienced some soreness and swelling for the past couple of weeks, and the team decided to have him undergo an MRI just to see what was going on inside of his joint. He expected it to be a routine check-up. No biggie.
Turns out, Howard has been playing with a loose chip in the lateral femoral cartilage in his left knee. Jazz team orthopedist Dr. Lyle Mason recommended surgery, which would prevent further damage but likely end Howard's season.
Howard's response?
"One word," he said. "Surprised."
However, the 31-year-old Howard maintains hope for a less-dire scenario. He will seek a second opinion today in New York City by Hospital for Special Surgeries specialist Dr. David Altcheck, who performed ACL surgery on him two years ago.
Howard considers his status "still up in the air," but he should know what course he'll take soon.
In his mind, the worst-case scenario could get him back in 4-6 weeks.
"If I have to go through with the surgery," Howard said, "it'll be a short recovery time and I'll be back to basketball before you know it."
Howard called the news "tough," but he's trying to remain optimistic. He's overcome bigger hurdles throughout his career, including that nasty knee injury two years ago (same knee but not related, Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor insisted).
Howard's play was severely limited last season in Washington, but he'd finally turned the corner after working himself back into playing shape this season.
"I'm always going to be positive with that, especially if we make it to the playoffs," Howard said. "I want to be around and I if can get out there and contribute I will. If God sees it best for me not to (play that soon) then I won't, but I have to deal with that when it comes."
The Jazz, whose gamble to sign the free agent with a somewhat checkered past paid off handsomely, took the news hard.
Coach Tyrone Corbin called it "sad." O'Connor said it was "disturbing" for the organization and Howard.
"It's difficult," O'Connor said. "I thought he had done everything we've asked him and then some for this season, and then to have this happen now."
Corbin described Howard as a player who was an asset on offense, defense and off the court with his teammates.
"It's tough for us," Corbin said. "He's been such a pro for us and such a great part of what we're doing. He's a veteran leadership guy. He's been tremendous in the locker room all year long."
Corbin brought Gordon Hayward back into the starting lineup at the small forward spot, which was his position for the first 36 games this season. C.J. Miles filled in for injured Raja Bell as the starting shooting guard. But the Jazz coach isn't sure what he'll do with the first five for the remainder of the season — in part because he likes Hayward with the second unit.
Alec Burks and DeMarre Carroll, who saw action for only the second time Tuesday, both figure to see more playing time because of Howard's absence. Corbin isn't 100 percent sure whether Bell will return as a starter, either.
Whatever happens, Howard leaves a void.
"We're going to miss Josh," Corbin said, "but in his absence we still have to perform."
O'Connor said the Jazz will not look to add another wing player via free agency.
"That's why we signed DeMarre Carroll," the Jazz GM said. "Anytime you lose a starter, it's going to affect your team. Fortunately, we've got some depth and the young kids have gotten (46) games under their belt, so that's going to help a little bit, but we're going to miss him."
O'Connor hinted that the Jazz are hoping they haven't seen the last of Howard in a Utah uniform, even if he is out the rest of this season. The nine-year veteran will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.Comment on this story
"We have to look at it from a business point of view," O'Connor said, "but from a human point of view, you sit down and talk to him a little bit about it and say, 'Hey, we appreciate what you've done. We know how long it's been to get back on the court. Stay with us and we're going to stay with you.'"
Jazz forward Paul Millsap credited the athletic 6-foot-8 Howard for giving the Jazz offensive firepower and being a defensive presence.
"It's sad, but things happen," Millsap said. "He'll bounce back from it."
Sooner than some might expect, Howard hopes.
"It's tough, but if I can get through an ACL surgery and a meniscus tear, I can beat anything," he said. "It's a part of the game. It's just something I can deal with and I know I'll be back."

Yanks run first-class campaign for Swish
Yanks run first-class campaign for Swish
Nick Swisher has never been shy about getting his face and loquacious personality in front of a camera, which perhaps makes him an ideal fit to campaign for this year's American League Final Vote.
No offense to his other competitors -- Boston's Kevin Youkilis, Texas' Michael Young, Chicago's Paul Konerko and Minnesota's Delmon Young -- but none of them are, as radio broadcaster John Sterling says after big home runs, "Swish-a-licious."
"I think Swish is probably the perfect guy for campaigning for himself," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Swish is a personality that loves to have fun and is not afraid to do anything on the video board, no matter what they ask him to do. Swish is good at it."
Case in point: Minutes after Yankees director of media relations Jason Zillo informed Swisher that he was a Final Vote candidate on Sunday, Swisher was in front of a green screen, rocking a Tommy Bahama shirt and sunglasses, holding a surfboard and imploring fans to "Send Swish" to the All-Star Game.
"I love it," Swisher said. "This is the Yankees, man. They do everything first class. I'm proud to be part of them. It's an honor to be part of them."
That clip was replayed several times on the Yankee Stadium video screen Sunday, and was also peppered on Yankees.com. "Send Swish" has become a rallying cry for the organization, but the Yankees' West Coast trip this week to Oakland and Seattle complicates matters.
"Obviously, we can't just put it on the video screen," Zillo said.
So the Yankees have had to flex their creative muscles. As fans have been repeatedly urged to vote, there is incentive -- those voting for Swisher via MLB.com will be entered into a drawing to win two tickets to an upcoming Yankees home game, as well as one of several Swisher autographed baseballs.
There is also broader campaign in place. Zillo said his department dispatched interns to the city streets outside NBC's "Today" show Monday, waving large placards with Swisher's face and the words "Send Swish!"
In addition, Swisher is opening himself up to more interviews than usual this week. Some national radio spots are being scheduled, and there is interest in plugging the Final Vote candidacy on New York morning television shows, reaching the audience most likely to "Send Swish" during the work day.
"I feel like I'm on Miss America or something," Swisher said.
Now in its ninth year, the 2010 All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by Sprint gives baseball fans around the world the opportunity to select the final player on each All-Star team. Balloting began immediately after Sunday's Major League All-Star Selection Show and continues until 4 p.m. ET Thursday. The winners will be announced on MLB.com shortly thereafter.
Mobile voting in the United States is exclusive to Sprint, Nextel and Boost subscribers. To receive the 2010 All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by Sprint mobile ballot, text the word "VOTE" to 1122. To vote for a specific player, text message your choice to 1122. For example, text "A3" to vote for AL Player 3 or "N3" to vote for NL Player 3. Message and data rates may apply. Mobile voting in Canada is open to all carriers; fans should text their choices to 88555. Standard rates may apply.
The fun doesn't end there, however. Fans, having already decided the starters and this week the final player on each team, once again will have the opportunity to participate in the official voting for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player presented by Chevy via the 2010 All-Star Game MVP Vote sponsored by Sprint on MLB.com during the All-Star Game.
The 81st Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and Sportsnet HD and Le Reseau des Sports, and around the world by Major League Baseball International, with pregame ceremonies beginning at 8 p.m. ESPN Radio will provide exclusive national radio coverage. MLB.com, MLB Network and Sirius XM also will provide comprehensive All-Star Game coverage.
The Yankees are already well-represented at the July 13 All-Star Game, with Girardi and his coaching staff joined by starters Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano, as well as Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Mariano Rivera, Phil Hughes and -- as he learned Monday -- Andy Pettitte, who replaces the injured Clay Buchholz of the Red Sox.
"I see all of these guys going, and I want to go, too," Swisher said. "I think it would mean so much extra now, because it's up to the fans. I think I've generated a pretty good rapport here with the fans of New York.
"There'd be nothing more that I'd want to do than represent them in the All-Star Game. I think it'd be amazing. I get excited about it, because I've never had this opportunity before. To be 29 and finally start to think things out, it'd be a blessing."
Swisher had two more hits Monday and is hitting .500 (4-for-8) with a walk and a run scored since being named a Final Vote candidate, so clearly the chase is not adding any pressure.
"I don't think it will be a distraction, as long as he's not texting MLB.com during the games," Girardi said. "So, keep voting for him."

A new upgrade package signed by German Special Customs will become available soon for the McLaren P1 as the tuning company has recently announced its plans to introduce it.
The upgrade package aimed towards the British hybrid supercar will be called the Night Glow and it will be addressed to 375 customers who had at least 1 million euros to get their hands on the impressive vehicle and want some interesting upgrades added to their rides. According to the guys at German Special Customs, the McLaren P1 can receive an aerodynamic body kit, with side blades on the front apron, a new spoiler blade, LED daytime running lights, bigger air inlets and much more.
The supercar's aftermarket upgrades will not stop here as there are also different side skirts available, air inlets, rear diffuser, rear side walls of the body, a roof mounted scoop, an adjustable rear wing and much more. A power upgrade is also available by installing an in-house exhaust system. The total output will raise to more than 1,000 HP (736 kW) which is significantly more than what the standard 3.8 liter V8 twin turbo has to offer with its 916 HP (674 kW). No pricing details have been announced but they are available upon request.

New Product
Open Source USB2PPM converter hub (WORKING!!!)
I just wanted to show a demo of what I've been working on. I wasn't going to post anything until I had some demo of me flying it, but with current work in the field I wanted to make sure I was the first one to show this working. Because what you are dealing with is in fact a small computer, the possibilities are endless. For example, I have personally tested using a force feedback joystick through the device. Other applications include plugging in the Trimersion headset and using its built in headtracker.
I'm hoping to use this thread to build some interest in the project. As I mentioned in the post, this project is completely open source and as I have run my own business before, I know the money is in the execution of a business, so I have no interest in making any money here (too much a niche market)
The microcontroller is programmed using the open source arduino platform. This makes upgrades as easy as unplugging the arduino, plugging it into the computer, copying and pasting the code and uploading.
The platform is a Linksys WRTSL54GS running OpenWRT, with a few settings turned on during the kernel compilation process.
I can probably finish the project on my own in about two months. If I can get anyone that knows arduino (C code) to contribute their time I can finish much faster.
The version I demo'd in the video is an older version. The serial port is actually soldered directly to the router. Information is unidirectional from the router to the arduino to avoid the need for a level shifter 3.3v<->5v. This avoids having to pass through the usb stack as in the case of a usb->serial cable. This is why I can say that there is 0 lag between joystick movements and the expected output. 20 ms is more than enough time to receive an update from the joystick and send the information to the microcontroller.
The current version demo'd d requires the usb joystick to be plugged in and left in from startup. I have a new version working that allows you to plug in the joystick any point in time during the process. And I'm working on a new version that allows you to configuring mixing, expo, and joystick mapping directly from the microcontroller (need help with this one).
Feel free to post suggestions here. If I get enough interest in the current state of the project I'll get a sourceforge account and post everything there.
Also current cost of project
Linksys WRTSL54GS 72.99
BBB Kit, BUB and Mini Cable 27.95
There is also the possibility of using the bifferboard
bifferboard 56.47
The bifferboard would require a usb stick to boot, so throw in another $10
So the product comes in ~100. However this gets you quality reuseable components.
Nope, the WRTSL54GS is a full fledged computer running a Linux OS. (OPENWRT). This gives the system great flexibility for future updates. Another thing I have tested on the system, is running a camera. So you could add IR lights such as the FreeTrack project and have head tracking without any drift, at minimal cost
The WRTSL54GS has a 266MHz CPU, 8MB flash, and 32MB RAM. Not sure about the WRT54GS though.
Edit, looks like the WRT54GS has varying amounts of flash based on which revision it is, 32MB of Ram, and a 200MHz CPU. So it is a bit less powerful, though I have no idea if it can run dathird313's software... (version 4.0 had 4MB of flash, all before it had 8)
Unfortunately the WRT54GS will not run it. Its not a matter of hardware. The code I made will run on pretty much any machine made after 1985, its a matter of having a USB compliant hub built into the device. I originally looked at the ADM5120 as a possible platform, however even though it has a USB port and costs an equivalent of $25 for some reason their USB hub is not compliant with HID devices. Spent quite a bit of time on that problem.
As far as development is concerned. I'll be glad to post links and detailed instructions on how to get this working as time goes along. I want to get some of the linux code more cemented. I want to make it so all the cool stuff is done onboard the arduino, as that is much easier to update. I want the linux box to do nothing more than respond to standardized queries and send info to the arduino every 20ms or so.
If you are interested on development on the platform right now, I'll be glad to send you links to the proper sites for both OpenWRT and Arduino, and post code in due course, however everything is strictly open source, so if you make any improvements you have to make the code publicly available. I'm also planning on building a front-end for the joystick code in C# for windows users if they just want to use their own laptop. The arduino code is serial port based, so it will work with ANY OS.
MelihK, if you are interested I'll make the front end available to you to use (as soon as I finish it) with your board. As long as the code remains open I would be happy if it helped you with your endeavours.
curious, what makes the arduino thing required?
can't you just communicate to the trainer port using serial or audio signals instead?
I could see a similar thing to the bifferboard you link, capture usb, translate to serial or PPM signals (yeah, bifferboard doesnt seem to have an audio chip but some must have it).
i'm even wondering if fmkit could just hack in a module that translate movements into PPM, bypassing usb ;P
USB to PPM conversion has to be slow (>20ms latency?) , OK for FPV , not so good for regular flying.
usb input is rather quick.
audio usually has latency, but in linux you can tweak it to be rather low as well (see RT kernels), you get under 3ms latency. let's say USB has also a few ms, plus the conversion, it makes like 5-8ms latency added depending on the hardware. Kinda decent.
On Windows audio latency is a problem. But no Windows here anyway.
certainly i think the nunchuck is a good idea (a regular joystick for non-fpv flying sucks) and referring to the chip to implement because of this nunchuck. however these joysticks dont have such a firmware that has been reversed like the nunchuck so its unpractical.
Heck, don't wanna go too much off topic but I should get one of your nunchuck some day to see how it feels.
Without getting too into the code right now. I'll explain how it works.
I started thinking about fmkit's response and technically there is moving latency. Avg 10 ms
So on the CPU we spin off an independent pthread that reads each joystick. This is an event driven interface so we are talking about miniscule latencies, and the linux version I'm using has all the latest real time features aka tick-less kernel, so latencies are reduced.
Anyways I have the main WRT loop update the arduino every 20ms. I found on my particular JR controller, the protocol came in around 22ms(checked with o-scope) I purposefully made it so that they were not in sync. If they are not in sync, the worst you have is if you send out the info and the arduino just sent the last train, so you have 22 ms to wait, and the best is if the arduino is about to send the next train and it just finishes receiving the information from you.
The arduino uses interrupts to send out the pulse train. The main loop reads the serial port and places the data in an array.
If you wanted to get into the 1 ~ 5 ms latency category. You simply increase the speed at which the main thread is updating.
The current baud rate is 56kbps, I'm using bit compression so you have at minimum 10 bytes to send. 10 bits per channel, and 8 channels = 80 bits. so around 1.4 ms to transmit the packet. So a theoretical least latency of around 2 ms if we were to constantly bombard the arduino with data. Both the arduino and router are capable of this. New Arduino supports data rates up to 2Mbps, but thats untested from my end.
But there is no noticeable delay. An average delay of 10 ms is just fine for flying, and I plan on using this to fly a helicopter. We'll see how it goes, I think I'll work my way up to that after some FPV flights with my EZ*. Only have a handful of those down, I just love fiddling with new ideas too much and its too cold right now, well cold for NC.
As far as the nunchuck is concerned, I'm not sure what you're talking about. If you are talking about the wii-mote nunchuck then you are in luck, because a library already exists for the arduino to read the nunchuck using i2c. You wouldn't even need the router, and you could have delay < 1 ms with that approach.
fmkit, I'm going to look through your threads to try and get a better idea of what you are working on. I'll give you a more definitive answer when I know.
As promised, this is an open source project so, as Linus mentioned
Linus was treating his users as co-developers in the most effective possible way:
7. Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers.
So here is my code. If you actually svn the code you can compile it on a regular linux machine and run it without cross compiling for the router. Here is the router code
Notice the gratuitous use of 1996-1999 Vojtech Pavlik's work
Another reason for the project having to be open source.
And here is the link to the arduino code
I have a lot of stuff going on this week, so I may not make much more progress soon. Next on the list is to do a demo of the trimersion headset working with it, but no promises.
