BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — On Sunday evening Jefferson County deputies responded to a report of a shooting in the 7400 block of Belgium Avenue in the Edgewater Community. They arrived to find 47-year-old Vincent Lamar Giddens of Mulga unresponsive and suffering from a gunshot wound. Giddens was transported to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 9:49 pm.
A statement released from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office states 30-year-old Antonio Dewayne McIntosh returned to the scene and was identified as the person who had shot Giddens. He was taken into custody and questioned. McIntosh later admitted to shooting Giddens during an argument over a debt Giddens claimed was owed to him.
McIntosh was arrested and charged with murder. He posted $75,000 bond and was released from jail in the early hours of Monday morning.

Beatrice Man Arrested for Stealing, Forging Checks
BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) -- Authorities say a 33-year-old Beatrice man has been charged with forging checks that he stole from his landlord.
According to the Beatrice Daily Sun, Justin Stewart was arrested after talking to Beatrice Police investigators earlier this week.
Court documents say Stewart is suspected of taking checks he found stored in a house he was renting. He would then forge signatures on the checks so he could buy videogame equipment that he'd later sell for cash. The documents say Stewart told investigators that he used the money to buy drugs.
Gage County Jail records say Stewart remained in custody on Wednesday. Online court records don't list the name of his attorney.

DES PLAINES, Ill., Oct. 22 (UPI) -- A Chicago suburb is tired of skunk stink and plans to rely more on an outside company to catch the animals, officials say.
Des Plaines, Ill., officials say the number of calls about the animals has increased while the number of trappings has nearly doubled, the Chicago Tribune reported.
"We're inundated with people (calling) with skunks and their pets being sprayed," said Tex Bullock, support services manager for the police department, which oversees animal control.
Skunks "are digging in the foundation near the front steps of homes and sheds," Bullock said.
The influx of skunks has overwhelmed the city's one-person animal-control department, the Tribune said.
The number of skunks trapped has risen to 100 from Jan. 1 to Oct. 20, compared with 51 during the same period last year, says BC Wildlife, an Arlington Heights wildlife-control company that works with the city.
The number of skunks trapped has risen across the northwest Chicago suburbs.
More than 715 were captured the first 10 months of this year, compared with 563 a year ago, said Rebecca Fyffe, a wildlife educator with ABC Wildlife, which covers five counties.
She said the increase can be attributed in part to more beetle grubs in the soil from increased rainfall this year and a decline in rabies and distemper among wildlife.
Des Plaines officials say skunk traps will remain free for residents.

I used rcma foundation on a client today and the foundation around her nose just flaked. I applied the rcma by using the rcma thinner then using a beauty blender. I then tried mac face and body foundation on her and I still had the same problem. I used a drugstore cleanser and toner called simple then moisturised with embroyolisse. Could you please tell me what I could do to stop this happening? I tried using macs prep and prime skin smoothing primer then I tried it without a primer but her skin around her nose was just so dry!

She's not on any medication, she never usually wears make up or puts anything on her skin. Her skin was just very very dry.. We've been having a lot of warm weather just lately though could it of been dehydration? I've told her to drink plenty of fluids and moisturise day and night and were trying again in a week or two.

I had some health issues recently causing my skin to be extremely dry like this and the only thing that helped was using hydrocortisone cream on my skin. I let it dry and then I mix my RCMA foundation with a hydrating serum or primer.I also use my OCC airbrush foundation those are the only two options I have at the moment. When it comes to clients I would patch test the hydrocortisone since it has an active ingredient.

Without the express direction of a doctor, hydrocortisone should NOT be applied either by a makeup artist OR to the face. It is a topical steroid used to treat persistent skin issues like eczema or allergic reaction and is known to thin skin with overuse. Here in the uk you have to get it from the restricted section in the pharmacy.

You could try to exfoliate off the dry skin flakes and apply a heavy moisturizer, and I think you said this but be sure to pat the foundation on with a beauty blender and not a brush so as not to exfoliate the skin with the bristles and cause more flakes. My sister was having this problem, and that seemed to solve it.

Good skin care is the first initial step in helping set a good foundation for makeup application. This side effect tends to happen a lot with climate or seasons changes, exfoliation is key for ridding the skin from dead flaky skin cells, a toner can also help to lock in moisture, I prefer good ol' witch hazel. A moisturizer( creams work best for dry skin) and a moisturizing primer of course would be the next steps, and like mentioned previously, dabbing motions with a beauty blender will help with foundation application. Also using a water based foundation will help, more forgiving on dry skin, and try to not use many powdery products on the trouble area, powder tends to emphasize and stick to dry patches, if powder is a must, use a rolling motion with a powder puff, can also use a rolling motion with a powder brush if you prefer the brush as oppose to a puff. Hope this was helpful and good luck!!

You could try Ginvera Marvel Gel, its a very gentle exfoliator and one that I use on myself when i'm having an extra dry day, it lifts away flaky bits with ease, once you cleanse go in with Embryolisse Lait Creme and give it time to absorb before applying foundation.

I recently stopped using Simple products (i.e. face wash and moisturizer) on myself because they are incredibly drying. I would start with cleansing with a cleansing balm or cream cleanser, followed with an alcohol free toner, either a light hydrating serum or I like to use 100% hyaluronic acid with a little bit of water massaged into the skin. This will help hydrate and sink quickly into the skin without adding heavy layers of product. Then follow with moisturizer and hydrating primer. You can exfoliate during your prep as well but you want to start with keeping the PH in the skin balanced with a good cleanser and toner, nothing foaming at all.
For light exfoliating I like the philosophy microderm pads. I'm dying to try the clarisonic!

Welcome to the ArduPilot Development Site¶
Keep up with the latest ArduPilot related blogs on ArduPilot.org!
ArduPilot (also known as APM) is a open source autopilot system supporting multi-copters, traditional helicopters, fixed wing aircraft and rovers. The source code is developed by a large community of enthusiasts. New developers are always welcome! The best way to start is by joining the Developer Team Forum, chat to us on Gitter or join the weekly development call. You will find a large number of users and some developers in the ArduPilot facebook group. All channels are open to all. Lurk for a while to get a feel for it, then participate!
Why the name?¶
The 'Ardu' part of the ArduPilot name comes from Arduino. The original APM1 and APM2 boards were based around the Arduino development environment and AVR CPUs. We've since outgrown these boards and recommend people use one of the many more capable boards found on our Autopilot Hardware Options page including the Pixhawk. A timeline history of ArduPilot can be found here.
Supported boards¶
Supported AutoPilot Controller Boards provides an overview and key links for all the supported controller boards, including Pixhawk, Pixhawk2, Pixracer, Erle-Brain, NAVIO2, Bebop2, etc.
The ArduPilot/APM source code is written on top of the AP-HAL hardware abstraction layer, making it relatively easy to port the code to a wide range of autopilot boards. See this blog post for more information on the move to AP-HAL.
Project List¶
The ArduPilot system is made up of (or relies upon) several different projects which are listed below. Those marked with an asterix (*) are peer projects that have their own owners outside the core ArduPilot dev team.
- Plane (wiki, code) - autopilot for planes
- Copter (wiki, code) - autopilot for multicopters and traditional helicopters
- Rover (wiki, code) - autopilot for ground vehicles
- Antenna Tracker (wiki, code) - for automatically aiming an antenna at a vehicle
- Mission Planner (wiki, code) - the most commonly used ground station written in C# for windows but also runs on Linux and MacOS via mono
- APM Planner 2.0 (wiki, code) is a ground station specifically for APM written in C++ using the Qt libraries
- MAVProxy - command line oriented and scriptable ground station (mostly used by developers)
- DroneKit - APM SDK for apps running on vehicles, mobile devices and/or in the cloud.
- MinimOSD (wiki, code) - on-screen display of flight data
- Tower (wiki, code, google play) - android ground station
- QGroundControl* is an alternative ground station written in C++ using the Qt libraries
- PX4* - designers of the original PX4FMU hardware (from which the Pixhawk was developed) and owners of a relatively small number of drivers we use when running on a Pixhawk flight controller board
- MAVLink* - the protocol for communication between the ground station, flight controller and some periphers including the OSD. A "Dummy's Guide" to working with MAVLink is here.
- UAVCAN* - Lightweight protocol designed for reliable communication in aerospace and robotic applications via CAN bus. Ardupilot is using the Libuavcan, which is a portable, cross-platform library written in C++ with minimal dependency on the C++ standard library.
Getting Started with ArduPilot Development¶
The main entry points for developing flight controller/antenna tracker and companion computer code are listed in the sidebar.
For topics related to Ground Control Station development see:
RTF vehicles¶
There are dozens if not hundreds of companies offering services based on ArduPilot or selling ArduPilot based drones. If the drone has a Pixhawk inside, it is most likely running ardupilot. The most well known commercial grade drone using ardupilot is the 3DR Solo.
How the team works¶
- Bringing new members onto the team
- Most developer chat happens on Gitter or in the Developer Team Forum. Real-time voice discussions take place on our mumble server. All these channels are open for anyone to join
- Our annual developers conference is DroneCon. See previous years speeches and content here.
- The source code for ArduPilot/APM is managed using git on https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot
- Pre-compiled firmware for supported autopilot boards is available from http://firmware.ardupilot.org
- User support is available on the forums.
- The ArduPilot automatic test system shows the test status of each commit. It's described here.
- Bug tracking and open issues are tracked using the github issues system
- Vehicle onboard parameter documentation for copter, plane and rover is auto-generated from the source code
- Release Procedures for Copter
- Current and Past Dev Team members
Development languages and tools¶
The main flight code for ArduPilot is written in C++. Support tools are written in a variety of languages, most commonly in python.
ArduPilot (including Copter, Plane, Rover, Antenna Tracker and MissionPlanner) is released as free software under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later. See License overview wiki page here.

Napoli takes cortisone shot in oblique
Napoli takes cortisone shot in oblique
ARLINGTON -- Injured Rangers catcher Mike Napoli had a cortisone shot on Monday to combat pain in his strained left oblique. He hopes to ramp up his activity level on Wednesday. Napoli went on the disabled list on June 12 with the ailment, and while he has caught bullpen sessions and worked out, he has yet to do any more strenuous swinging than from a tee.
"Before we make any plans, he's got to start swinging the bat," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We don't know when that will be. He's throwing, he's catching in the bullpen, but he hasn't gotten the chance to get in the cage and start swinging yet."
Napoli said he'll take a short break, then get back to rehabilitation exercises.
"I did some core stuff yesterday, some rotational stuff," Napoli said. "I did one-arm bat, top and bottom hands, and a couple swings with the short bat and two hands off the tee. I got a cortisone yesterday, so I'm going to take today off. We're going to go from there and see how I feel tomorrow."Napoli said that the injury could have gotten worse had he not gone on the disabled list when he did. "The pain is down to one sore spot. It is not as bad," Napoli said. "We caught it at the right time."

" Brand: Mookie Toys / Type: Kids Gardening "
This wheelbarrow set is a godsend in the garden! It is a brightly coloured wheelbarrow with 5 garden tools contained inside. It cost me £19.90 from Tumble Tots and is rated for children 3 and up although there are no small parts so younger children can use it. It is quite long so seems more adult than the toy wheelbarrows you can sometimes get. My daughter thinks it looks just like grandads.
The wheelbarrow is green with a yellow wheel and red handles, it is easily handled and is very attractive. It comes with a watering can, 4 flowerpots, a rake, secateurs, hoe, dipper and a basket. All the tools are different colours and they are all made of strong durable plastic. The tools have grips on the handles to prevent them slipping out of hands and are a nice size for childrens hands.
The wheelbarrow was easily made, it only needs 3 things attaching together and it is very durable. All the tools including the basket and watering can fit neatly inside the wheelbarrow so it tidies away easily and as the tools are so lightweight the child can carry them all over the garden with no problem.
It would have been good for it to contain some gardening gloves as part of the set but that would be the only gripe -and it's a very minor one!- that I could think of.
This wheelbarrow set is perfect for children, the tools actually do work when in the garden so they can work alongside you without needing help. There is a good variety of tools so they have plenty to pick from. My mum has bought a separate wheelbarrow set to keep up at her house as it was such a hit with the kids.
A larger and more traditionally shaped Garden Wheelbarrow, for slightly older children of the green-fingered variety. The set is made out of cheerful red, yellow and green plastic and includes a neat range of garden hand tools; 4 flowerpots, fan rake, dibber, secateurs, watering can, hoe and a separate basket. Designed for safe and creative outdoor play, this sturdy set will make a lasting impression on all you budding gardeners.

Cat high jumping in slowmotion:
Almost a video I guess...:
Sorry, but Dubstep cat borders - ??? - upon cruelty. And the cat obviously does not enjoy - the ears kinda give that away. Irresponsible owner, in my opinion.
I consider myself very sensitive to possibilities of animal cruelty, and as a cat owner i would never post anything that i felt was cruelty to a cat or any other animal.
One of my cats pees on my stuff.
Quote from: TaoPhoenix on August 25, 2013, 05:20 PMOne of my cats pees on my stuff.So? What did you do to piss that kitty off . That's usually a tip that said feline is unhappy with management, or at least management's actions of late .Hint: you might try a food alternative - that's worked for me in the past .
I know! I can give him to Microsoft! He can't be as bad as Steve Ballmer, right? : )
