Hey all,
I am on the list patiently awaiting the Rigid frame. Can't wait! I also have ordered the TheSteve dual converter and only going to upgrade the main for now and then later the tail. The Steve told me that it works dual now. Also in his instructions page he uses the same main pinion gear that the stock motor uses. he just drills or reams the hole a little bigger so it will fit the motor shaft. I recommend using a temp gauge to help figure out what pinion gear to use. along with battery time. This is what I figure I will have to try...there are lots of little gears in servo's...hmmm
Have any of you guys tried this? reaming the stock pinion?
Also after upgrading the heli with the stabilizer weights and the swashplate kit and balancing the blades and shimming the rotor head with micro washers I can get it to hands off hover for like 5-10 seconds (with my air conditioner off)..Surprised all the tweaking paid off with such drastic results. I didn't really think that it would make such a difference. I think the rigid frame will help as well...with the longer tail boom,, can't wait for the 4g3....indoor inverted flight,,,what could be better?
Good Luck!
Cheers, johnw
MIA tail mod, balancer and my helis
I love this heli and I share with you my balancer and their photos.

This videos in the link, contain step by step on the MIA modification for the #52. This involves a new design, stronger bolt on G10 frame, stronger boom, and MIA TUFF LG. The frame uses the exisiting #52 plastic ball bearing blocks,
as support for the main frame's main mast support.
More on the MIA TUFF LG for the 4#3s
Here are some additional photos that I think will answer some questions I've been getting via email, on the installation of the MIA TUFF LG Kit, for the 4#3's.
The TUFF Struts have 4 pre-drilled holes, the 2 inner most holes are used for direct mounting to the stock 4#3 frames. The holes are slightly smaller than the screws supplied with the kit, this is done so they have some grab throughout the thickness of the strut, but you can easily allow the entry of the screw by taking the tip of a small philips screwdriver and enlarging the opening of the strut hole, just a tad bit!, I think someone mentioned using a 1.2 mm drill bit to enlarge the holes so they allow the screws to match better with the base plate holes of the stock 4#3. This is fine too, if you have such size drill bit but it is not required. These photos shows two possible installations using the MIA TUFF LG for the 4#3.
First one is a retrofit for the MIA Frames, shown with the frame battery and motor plates only to illustrate the install of the Struts with the supplied spacer white pegs. The Second one is a a direct install to the stock 4#3.
The screws supplied with the kits are 0-80 machine screws, selected for two purposes.
1) Can be used, just fine, with plastic parts as a self threading screw. such as direct install to the stock 4#3 plastic frame, so long as your screw hole on the plastic frame is not larger than the actual screw OD diameter.
2) Can be also used with 0-80 nuts, as are provided in some other MIA tiny heli applications.
The screws supplied, depending on the application, also, are two types:
Pan or Flat Head.
Flat Head provides a "flush installation", via a plate that has the holes chanfered, as required when installing the TUFF strut kit with the white pegs, on the MIA Frames, from the top, such as to clear the base of the servos. See first photo, top plate.
The Pan head are used for all other applications, not requireing chanfering, or sometimes called, counter-sinking, of the screw hole, such as the second photograph shows.

And heres my modified tuff lg with std battery tray on a 4#3B frame. Used the Losi screws to fit. Rebent all the landing gear, made it far smaller and reduced the green sleave parts as much as possible for weight benifit. No more carpet snags for me!
And my Mia CF look canopy also modified to accept std canopy grommets for fitment with cf rod in the forward hole as well as trimming to clear Tuff struts oh and ground as it sure is a low rider now!
Blade Tip Extenders
Ampdraw, nice pics. Lowriders are not so much my favorites since the battery sits too low, to the ground, and one has to be careful not to land on a hard object like a rock. This will ruin your battery if a hole is formed from the impact. For indoors is OK. Consider also that the higher LG Strut allows some spring room, for hard landings and also protects the canopy. The heli will also have better pendulum stability when the skids sit further from the base of the frame.
Having said that, I respect your choice of customization. We all do things differently and there is really no wrong or right way, so long as you are having fun with it and it is working for you the way you like it. Thanks for taking the time to share your pics and Have fun!
Here is something new I have been working on for the 4#3. I didn't have a spare set of 4#3B, blades so I took the original stock 4#3 blades and was testing with various tip extender shapes and sizes to provide the helicopter more lift and more stability. This heli flies very nice with them. As per the photograph, you can see I am also using the other MIA mods like the DeLuxe Flybar upgrade which makes the helicopter very stable. These small tricks and upgrades can really add to a heli that is far more controllable in smaller areas than the original stock product offers.
I will have these at my site for sale in a kit, and in various color to match the MIA Edge Canopies.
Want to make your own?
Mine, as in the kit, are premolded already to right curvature and predetermined length, to take out some of the guesswork, but if you experiment a little with a DIY version, should work also.
If you wish to make your own and test to see how this idea works, simply take a piece of mylar or thin rigid plastic, or even cardstock, and curve the tip to similar curvature of stock blade. A tip from another 4#3 broken blade, or a piece of plastic from a plastic cup, will also work.
You don't want the tip too wide, because this will introduce flutter. Keep it narrow, stiff but light.
Cut a rectangle of about 1.25 x .75 inches, then simply glue with CA to the tip of the underside of the stock blade at desired length. To allow for anywhere from 1/4" to 3/4" in extra blade length, simply trim to desired length, leaving about 1/4" for gluing. You can experiment with various lengths, to suit your particular custom heli setup or simply follow my photograph as a reference.
I am flying this heli with a stock motor, with the MIA extended (longer) solid boom, and direct tail drive, with stock and and own tail blades, it also works just the same with the MIA upgrade frame with the longer booms. Very stable.

Thanks for your advices. so I ordered one 4#3B plus a LOT of spare parts and spare motors.
I will fine tune it: I will NOT go brushless, but instead I will try to make it as light as possible (by reducing the weight, I will make life easier for the motors, and therefore reduce the motor over-heat & short life span issue)
So....have you tried those 1,6 grammes servos:
or more realisticaly those 2 grammes servos :
Also, for the AC they have a 1,4 gramme brushless :
and they also have a 1,6 Grammes dual brushless ESC for helico that drive BOTH the AC and the main motors :
1 - High-Frequency-Controller HF250 twin:
this controller consists of two Highfrequency controller and has been developed especially for use in micro helicopters. One of the controller is used for the main rotor motor - the second controller on the PCB is used to control the tail rotor - both with an extremely high 256step sensitivity. With the 250kHz clock frequency they allow a long life for both - the main motor and the tail motor.
Price 96,00 Euro/ pcs.
Dimensions (mm): 17 x 16 x 7
Mass (without wires): 1,6 g
Mass (with wires): 2,7 g
Clock Frequency 250 kHz
All other technical data are the same as
for the HF100 described above.
2 - High-Frequency-Controller HF100 Heli:
this controller has been developed especially for an extremely sensitive 256 step control for optimized operation of Helicopter tail rotor motors e.g. for the Eco Piccolo. The high clock frequency of 100 kHz allows a long lifetime for your tailmotor even if a high battery supply voltage of 11V from 3 cells Li-Ion batteries is applied to your controller.
Preis 64,00 / pcs. Dimensions (mm): 17 x 8 x 7
Mass (without wires): 1 g
Mass (with wires): 2 g
All other technical data are the same as
for the HF100 described above.
.... so I am now in the race for a 40gr 4#3B
OH, one more question: I read that some folks have succefully reduced the lengh of the blades (or have made them thinner) in order to increase the rotor RPM. This has 2 main advantages apparently: reduce the motor consumption and make the heli more stable (thanks to higher head speed).
--> is it true ? If YES, for the lazy guys like me , are there some smaller blades from other Micro-heli that will be directly at the right size ?
here is one post: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...bl#post9212147
I have tried the blade extensions in a couple variations now, and the work great. The first set I did a month or so ago right after I got the B. Just cut V1 blades and CA'd to the underside of V2 blades...
worked great, much less coning, and a cool whup-whup sound, but fairly heavy since i used the majority of the blade to increase stiffness.
2 more variations, both using pieces from broken blades (with the exception of the V2 set, thanks Kelley!).
This heli was not flying. It had just gotten too portly to lift effectively and would settle into a hover just off the ground. Tried motor changes, taking off the flybar weights, was almost ready to start shaving servos. Now flies great, plenty of power. Once I changed to the MIA frame and aluminum upgrades, I couldnt really fly on my tired batteries and motors, which was why I tried the blade extensions originally. These smaller tip extensions are better, less weight and more power.
spainman tried the YGE4-BL and found it had problems driving the Losi motor. The other controllers you mention have a 1.5A continuous rating. That isn't enough for the main motor.
If you are planning on using all separates, you could go for a YGE6 and a YGE3 to control the original main and tail motors, a lightened AR6300 receiver (assuming you already have a DX6i or DX7) and a Logictech 2100T gyro (2.7g when lightened). Total cost of electronics: around 280 euros! (without replacing servos.. with those Wes-Techniks you're looking at 400 euros plus)
For a cheaper set you could use an AR6100, Pixie7 brushed ESCs and an Esky 704A gyro. Total: around 130 euros.
I'm not sure what the original 4in1 weighs, but I think it may be lighter than the combined weight of a lightened AR6300, lightened gyro and 2 speed controllers. And the original 2.4GHz radio and gyro work pretty well.
If you want to just change the speed controllers you will need to add a TheSteve converter, too, since there is no contact point on the 4in1 you can get a standard servo signal for the throttle from, only a PWM motor signal.
OR..... you can just buy a bunch of spare main motors. They are cheap and quick and easy to replace. If you kill the throttle before crashing they can last long time, too.
For servos, I think you will find that the Falcon servos won't be as fast and accurate as the original 4#3B servos and the price of the Wes-Techinks is crazy. The originals can be lightened to 2.3g or less if you are willing to do a little work: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=905947
You may want to get a 4#3A instead of the B if you are really after saving weight. It flies just as well, but weighs less without the metal 'bling' parts. You can make the heli lighter by taking off the plastic housing of the receiver and leaving the canopy off. Maybe even trimming the frame a little.
Many people had success with the original V1 4#3 with making the blades narrower (not shorter). For the 4#3A/B you can just put V1 blades on since they are narrower than the A/B blades.
Good luck and have fun,

Lighter, Faster, Stronger: Sports Gear Over the Last 20 Years
Golf Drivers: The Evolution of the Supersized Club
Twenty years ago, Callaway's Big Bertha – named after a WWI German howitzer – had both the size and power to justify the comparison. Founder Ely Callaway recruited engineers to develop a more forgiving, longer-hitting club, and the result proved to be a smash with both pros (by 1994 it was the number one driver on the PGA Tour) and amateurs. It took Callaway from $55 million in sales in 1991 to $557 million in 1995. "Until the Big Bertha, the driver was the most-feared club in the high handicapper's bag," says Luke Williams, Callaway's senior global director of woods and irons. "That was Ely's eureka moment – to make the game more enjoyable for the average player. And it didn't hurt that the aerospace industry started to ramp down in the Eighties. Engineering talent made its way into the golf industry and enabled breakthroughs that we continue to refine to this day." Their latest: the RAZR Fit, which uses a carbon composite developed in tandem with Lamborghini to help the club produce the desired high-launch, low-spin ball flight.

Sisters abducted, FIR registered after four days of complaint
In a continuous spurt of crime against women in Nawanshahr, two sisters were allegedly kidnapped from their house on intervening night of January 17 in the village Garhi Ajit Singh in Mukandpur town of district.punjab Updated: Jan 25, 2013 19:05 IST
In a continuous spurt of crime against women in Nawanshahr, two sisters were allegedly kidnapped from their house on intervening night of January 17 in the village Garhi Ajit Singh in Mukandpur town of district.
To add more woes of family of girls, the police have registered First Information Report (FIR) on January 24 after four days of complaint given by girls' father Makhandeen on January 20.
According to FIR, a copy with Hindustan Times, Makhandeen said that he had a dairy business in the village for past few years and had four sons, four daughters in his family. He said that his third daughter (22) who was married one and half years ago at Behlolpur village in Machhiwara town of Ludhiana district but due to some family issues, she was living with his family at Garhi Ajit Singh village for last two months.
Speaking with Hindustan Times, Makhandeen told that on January 17, he had slept at his dairy and his wife also had gone to Phagwara to meet his parents. "Around 1am, when his both third and fourth (9) daughters and their grandfather were alone at home, then some persons entered their house and abducted their daughters" alleged Makhandeen.
He further alleged that his father informed him and saw that their sandles (chappals) were lying into courtyard, after reaching at home. He further revealed that then, he and with other relatives tried to locate them at several places for two days but failed to find them.
"On January 20, we found from our investigation that their neighbour Bhoondi along with Layakat Ali and six others were involved in kidnapping their daughters and gave a written complaint at police against eight persons", alleged Makhandeen. He alleged that Bhoondi was also missing from the day of their daughter kidnapped on intervening night of January 17.
He further alleged that police had shown very poor and sad response to the complaint and took case very lightly and registered FIR after four days. He said that Mukandpur police has not helpful into this incident as he had been visiting police station daily but no one giving any positive response. He further said that on Friday, he also met senior superintendent of police Dhanpreet Kaur, who had assured him that girls would be recovered soon.
Investigation officer Sukhdev Singh said that the police have yet to arrest any accused of this incident and police have been conducting raids at many places to nab them. Deputy superintendent of police (Banga) Bhagwant Singh said that he was busy somewhere and asked to contact SHO Mukandpur police station. SHO Gurdiyal Singh said that one of police employee has been died in road accident on Friday afternoon and he was busy at there.

Exhibit Opening Ceremony Monday, September 16 at 10:30am – Please Join Us!
September 16 - October 26, Alfred C. O'Connell Library
The perspectives of surgeons, physicians, and nurses are richly documented in the history of Civil War medicine, which highlights the heroism and brutality of battlefield operations and the challenges of caring for the wounded during wartime. Yet the experiences of injured soldiers during the conflict and in the years afterwards are less well-known.
More than three million soldiers fought in the war from 1861-1865. More than half a million died, and almost as many were wounded but survived. Hundreds of thousands were permanently disabled by battlefield injuries or surgery, which saved lives by sacrificing limbs. Life and Limb: The Toll of the American Civil War explores the experiences of disabled Civil War veterans who served as a symbol of the fractured nation and a stark reminder of the costs of the conflict.
GCC library and college faculty and staff members have enhanced this exhibit to include displays of Civil War era medical devices and instruments from John Potera's extensive private collection, and a life-sized diorama depicting a typical field hospital in action. In addition, several speakers are planned who will discuss different aspects of the war, from its impact on families to its influence on the practice of medicine and nursing, and modern prosthetics used to address challenges faced by today's amputees. Additional images and documents and objects on loan from the Holland Land Office Museum will also be displayed in the library Media Room throughout the exhibit.

Neiman Marcus has posted updates on the massive data breach[1] that was discovered earlier this year.
The upscale retailer revealed that 1.1 million of its customers have been hit[4] by this data breach that made purchases between July and October. Neiman Marcus said that its servers had been breached but no online customers were affected and no sensitive information such as social security numbers was taken.
CEO Karen Katz said that criminals installed malicious software to collect payment information for about three months. She added that about 2,400 credit cards have been used in fraudulent transactions as a result of the data breach.
Neiman Marcus did not hear about the cyberattack until December and was unable to confirm it until January 1. The company is notifying its customers of the breach and it's currently investigating how many of its stores were affected.

From professional translators, enterprises, web pages and freely available translation repositories.
My personal response to the movie is that there should be more teachers like Mrs. Gruwell, with the determination and the will to teach no matter what the atmosphere of the classroom is or the attitude of the students. The teacher is the one that makes the difference in the classroom. I actually don't relate to the movie but yes I have some friends that don't take school seriously and think that the streets has them a better life.
In the movie I had three favorite characters, those where Mrs. Gruwell, Eva and the . I liked them because Mrs. Gruwell never gave up and even got divorced but never let down her students that really needed her. Eva changed her attitude from protecting her own to doing what is right no matter what. The choose to change his gang life in the streets to saying sorry and going back home with his mother.
Just like this kids made a really important transformation of their lifes, who don't have nothing, they started having hope and realized that no matter how difficult life is there is always hope. The teachers can learn that no matter what is their situation in the classroom they are the ones that are capable of making a change. They just have to believe in themselves first and then do what ever it takes to make a difference.
Everybody should see this movie because it's a movie that teaches a little bit of everything to all ages. From the students until the teachers a lesson its been sent by the drama of the story.

The culture of Thailand incorporates cultural beliefs and characteristics indigenous to the area known as modern-day Thailand coupled with much influence from ancient China, Cambodia, Laos, India along with the neighboring pre-historic cultures of Southeast Asia.[1] It is influenced primarily by animism, Hinduism, Buddhism, as well as by later migrations from China, and northern India.

Main article: Religion in Thailand
Thailand is nearly 94%-95% Theravada Buddhist (which includes the Thai Forest Tradition and the Dhammayuttika Nikaya and Santi Asoke sects), with minorities of Muslims (5-6%), Christians (1%), Mahayana Buddhists, and other religions.[2] Thai Theravada Buddhism is supported and overseen by the government, with monks receiving a number of government benefits, such as free use of the public transportation infrastructure.
Buddhism in Thailand is strongly influenced by traditional beliefs regarding ancestral and natural spirits, which have been incorporated into Buddhist cosmology. Most Thai people own spirit houses, miniature wooden houses in which they believe household spirits live. They present offerings of food and drink to these spirits to keep them happy. If these spirits aren't happy, it is believed that they will inhabit the larger household of the Thai, and cause chaos. These spirit houses can be found in public places and in the streets of Thailand, where the public make offerings.[3]
Prior to the rise of Theravada Buddhism, both Indian Brahmanic religion and Mahayana Buddhism were present in Thailand. Influences from both these traditions can still be seen in present day Thai folklore. Brahmanist shrines play an important role in Thai folk religion, and the Mahayana Buddhist influence is reflected in the presence of figures like Lokesvara, a form of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara sometimes incorporated into Thailand's iconography.[4][5]

Thai greeting, the smile is an important symbol of refinement in Thai culture.
The traditional customs and the folklore of Thai people were gathered and described by Phya Anuman Rajadhon in the 20th century, at a time when modernity changed the face of Thailand and a great number of traditions disappeared or became adapted to modern life. Still, the striving towards refinement, rooted in ancient Siamese culture, consisting of promoting that which is refined and avoiding coarseness is a major focus of the daily life of Thai people and high on their scale of values.[6]
One of the most distinctive Thai customs is the wai. Used in greetings, leave-taking, or as an acknowledgement, it comes in many forms, reflecting the relative status of those involved. Generally the salutation involves a prayer-like gesture with the hands, similar to the Añjali Mudrā of the Indian subcontinent, and it also may include a slight bow of the head. This salutation is often accompanied by a serene smile symbolizing a welcoming disposition and a pleasant attitude. Thailand is often referred to as the "land of smiles" in tourist brochures.
Public displays of affection is not overly common in traditional Thai society, especially between lovers.[7] It is becoming more common, especially among the younger generation.
A notable social norm holds that touching someone on the head may be considered rude. It is also considered rude to place one's feet at a level above someone else's head, especially if that person is of higher social standing. This is because the Thai people consider the foot to be the dirtiest and lowliest part of the body, and the head the most respected and highest part of the body. This also influences how Thais sit when on the ground—their feet always pointing away from others, tucked to the side or behind them. Pointing at or touching something with the feet is also considered rude.
Display of respect of the younger towards the elder is a cornerstone value in Thailand. A family during the Buddhist ceremony for young men who are to be ordained as monks.
Since serene detachment is valued, conflict and sudden displays of anger are eschewed in Thai culture and, as is many Asian cultures, the notion of face is extremely important. For these reasons, visitors should take care not to create conflict, to display anger or to cause a Thai person to lose face. Disagreements or disputes should be handled with a smile and no attempt should be made to assign blame to another. In everyday life in Thailand, there is a strong emphasis on the concept of sanuk; the idea that life should be fun. Because of this, Thais can be quite playful at work and during day-to-day activities. Displaying positive emotions in social interactions is also important in Thai culture.
Often, Thais will deal with disagreements, minor mistakes, or misfortunes by using the phrase mai pen rai, translated as "it doesn't matter". The ubiquitous use of this phrase in Thailand reflects a disposition towards minimizing conflict, disagreements or complaints. A smile and the sentence "mai pen rai" indicates that the incident is not important and therefore there is no conflict or shame involved.
Respect for hierarchy is a very important value for Thai people. The custom of bun khun emphasizes the indebtedness towards parents, as well as towards guardians, teachers, and caretakers. It describes the feelings and practices involved in certain relationships organized around generalized reciprocity, the slow-acting accounting of an exchange calculated according to locally interpreted scales and measures.[8] It is also considered rude to step on any type of Thai currency (Thai coin or banknote) as they include a likeness of the king.
The 1941-42 Thai cultural mandates, promulgated by Plaek Pibulsonggram, made sweeping changes in Thai culture. Modernization efforts discouraged the wearing of women's traditional costumes, in favour of more modern forms of dress
There are a number of Thai customs relating to the special status of monks in Thai society. Thai monks are forbidden physical contact with women. Women are therefore expected to make way for passing monks to ensure that accidental contact does not occur. A variety of methods are employed to ensure that no incidental contact (or the appearance of such contact) between women and monks occurs. Women making offerings to monks place their donation at the feet of the monk, or on a cloth laid on the ground or a table. Powders or unguents intended to carry a blessing are applied to Thai women by monks using the end of a candle or stick. Laypersons are expected to sit or stand with their heads at a lower level than that of a monk. Within a temple, monks may sit on a raised platform during ceremonies to make this easier to achieve.
When sitting in a temple, one is expected to point one's feet away from images of the Buddha. Shrines inside Thai residences are arranged so as to ensure that the feet are not pointed towards the religious icons, such as placing the shrine on the same wall as the head of a bed, if a house is too small to remove the shrine from the bedroom entirely.
It is also customary to remove one's footwear before entering a home or the sacred areas within a temple, and not to step on the threshold.
Traditional clothing

Main article: Chut thai
Traditional Thai clothing is called chut thai (Thai: ชุดไทย Thai pronunciation: [tɕʰút.tʰaj]) which literally means "Thai outfit". It can be worn by men, women, and children. Chut thai for women usually consists of a pha nung or a chong kraben, a blouse, and a sabai. Northern and northeastern women may wear a sinh instead of a pha nung and a chong kraben with either a blouse or a suea pat. Chut thai for men includes a chong kraben or pants, a Raj pattern shirt, with optional knee-length white socks and a sabai. Chut thai for northern Thai men is composed of a sado, a white Manchu styled jacket, and sometimes a khian hua. In formal occasions, people may choose to wear a chut thai phraratchaniyom.
A traditional wedding in Thailand.
Main article: Thai marriage
Thai Buddhist marriage ceremonies are generally divided into two parts: a Buddhist component, which includes the recitation of prayers and the offering of food and other gifts to monks and images of the Buddha, and a non-Buddhist component rooted in folk traditions, which centers on the couple's families.
In former times, it was unknown for Buddhist monks to be present at any stage of the marriage ceremony itself. As monks were required to attend to the dead during funerals, their presence at a marriage (which was associated with fertility, and intended to produce children) was considered a bad omen. A couple would seek a blessing from their local temple before or after being married, and might consult a monk for astrological advice in setting an auspicious date for the wedding. The non-Buddhist portions of the wedding would take place away from the temple, and would often take place on a separate day.
In modern times, these prohibitions have been significantly relaxed. It is not uncommon for a visit to a temple to be made on the same day as the non-Buddhist portions of a wedding, or even for the wedding to take place within the temple. While a division is still commonly observed between the "religious" and "secular" portions of a wedding service, it may be as simple as the monks present for the Buddhist ceremony departing to take lunch once their role is complete.
During the Buddhist component of the wedding service, the couple first bow before the image of the Buddha. They then recite certain basic Buddhist prayers or chants (typically including taking the Three Refuges and the Five Precepts), and light incense and candles before the image. The parents of the couple may then be called upon to "connect" them, by placing upon the heads of the bride and groom twin loops of string or thread that link the couple together. The couple may then make offerings of food, flowers, and medicine to the monks present. Cash gifts (usually placed in an envelope) may also be presented to the temple at this time.
The monks may then unwind a small length of thread that is held between the hands of the assembled monks. They begin a series of recitations of Pali scriptures intended to bring merit and blessings to the new couple. The string terminates with the lead monk, who may connect it to a container of water that will be "sanctified" for the ceremony. Merit is said to travel through the string and be conveyed to the water. A similar arrangement is used to transfer merit to the dead at a funeral, further evidence of the weakening of the taboo on mixing funerary imagery and trappings with marriage ceremonies. Blessed water may be mixed with wax drippings from a candle lit before the Buddha image and other unguents and herbs to create a paste that is then applied to the foreheads of the bride and groom to create a small dot, similar to the marking made with red ochre on Hindu devotees. The bride's mark is created with the butt end of the candle rather than the monk's thumb, in keeping with the Vinaya prohibition against touching women.
The highest-ranking monk present may elect to say a few words to the couple, offering advice or encouragement. The couple may then make offerings of food to the monks, at which point the Buddhist portion of the ceremony is concluded.
The Thai dowry system is known as the sin sodt Thai: สินสอด. Traditionally, the groom will be expected to pay a sum of money to the family, to compensate them and to demonstrate that the groom is financially capable of taking care of their daughter. Sometimes, this sum is purely symbolic, and will be returned to the bride and groom after the wedding has taken place.
The religious component of marriage ceremonies between Thai Muslims are markedly different from that described above. The Imam of the local mosque, the groom, the father of the bride, men in the immediate family, and important men in the community sit in a circle during the ceremony, conducted by the Imam. All the women, including the bride, sit in a separate room and do not have any direct participation in the ceremony. The secular component of the ceremony, however, is often nearly identical to the secular part of Thai Buddhist wedding ceremonies. The only notable difference here is the type of meat served to guests (goat and/or beef instead of pork). Thai Muslims frequently, though not always, also follow the conventions of the Thai dowry system.
Birth traditions and beliefs
Main article: Birth in Thailand
Traditional principles concerning pregnancy and childbirth are largely influenced by folk beliefs, especially in rural areas of central and north Thailand. Modern practices follow the Western medical model.
See also: Funeral (Buddhism)
Funeral pyre of Chan Kusalo, the patriarch-abbot of northern Thailand.
Traditionally, funerals last for at least one week. Crying is discouraged during the funeral, so as not to worry the spirit of the deceased. Many activities surrounding the funeral are intended to make merit for the deceased. Copies of Buddhist scriptures may be printed and distributed in the name of the deceased, and gifts are usually given to a local temple. Monks are invited to chant prayers that are intended to provide merit for the deceased, as well as to provide protection against the possibility of the dead relative returning as a malicious spirit. A picture of the deceased from his/her best days will often be displayed next to the coffin. Often, a thread is connected to the corpse or coffin which is held by the chanting monks during their recitation; this thread is intended to transfer the merit of the monks' recitation to the deceased. The corpse is cremated, and the urn with the ash is usually kept in a chedi in the local temple.
Thai Chinese and Thai Muslim minorities bury their deceased according to the rituals of their respective communities.

Main articles: Thai art and Music of Thailand
Thai visual arts were traditionally Buddhist. Thai Buddha images from different periods have a number of distinctive styles. Thai temple art and architecture evolved from a number of sources, one of them being Khmer architecture. Contemporary Thai art often combines traditional Thai elements with modern techniques.
Literature in Thailand is heavily influenced by Indian Hindu culture. The most notable works of Thai literature are a version of the Ramayana, a Hindu religious epic, called the Ramakien, written in part by Kings Rama I and Rama II, and the poetry of Sunthorn Phu.
There is no tradition of spoken drama in Thailand, the role instead being filled by Thai dance. This is divided into three categories: khon, lakhon, and likay, khon being the most elaborate and likay the most popular. Nang drama, a form of shadow play, is found in the south.
The music of Thailand includes classical and folk music traditions, e.g., piphat and mor lam, respectively) as well as string or pop music.
Main article: Public holidays in Thailand
Important holidays in Thai culture include Thai New Year, or Songkran, which is officially observed from 13–15 April each year. Falling at the end of the dry season and during the hot season in Thailand, the celebrations notoriously feature boisterous water throwing. The water throwing stemmed from washing Buddha images and lightly sprinkling scented water on the hands of elderly people. Small amounts of scented talcum powder were also used in the annual cleansing rite. In recent decades, water fights have been increasingly industrialised with use of hoses, barrels, squirt guns, water-filled surgical tubing, and copious amounts of powder.
Loi Krathong is held on the 12th full moon of the Thai lunar calendar, usually early-November. While not a government-observed holiday, it is nonetheless an auspicious day in Thai culture, in which Thai people "loi", meaning "to float" a "krathong", a small raft traditionally made from elaborately folded banana leaves and including flowers, candles, incense sticks, and small offerings. The act of floating away the candle raft is symbolic of letting go of all one's grudges, anger, and defilements so that one can start life afresh on a better footing.
Thai boxing is the indigenous national sport in Thailand.[citation needed] Football is perhaps the most-watched sport. The English Premier League is surprisingly popular.[citation needed]
Traditional Games of Thailand
Kratai Kha Deow(One Legged Rabbit)
"Kratai Kha Deow" or "One Legged Rabbit" is one type of catch game. The catcher will call the rabbit, and the rabbit must stand on one leg and jump or tiptoe to catch the other players and switch to rabbit instead. This game will exercise your legs and practice balancing on one leg. The number of players are divided into two teams, or may not have a team at all. Normally, there are two or more players. At the first time, the player will select the rabbit or team by "Rock-Paper-Scissors". The loser would have to be a rabbit.
In the case of solo player, the rabbit must stand on one leg, then jump to chase and touch any part of the body of other children who have run away. Everyone must stay within the designated area. A player who runs out of space loses the game and must be switched to rabbit, but if the rabbit is exhausted and cannot stand on one leg, it was that defeated and must be punished.
In team play, the rules are similar to the solo player, but the rabbit team will send a representative to catch the other team to all the people. Those arrested will have to wait outside until the rabbit team can catch all of the rival teams. Rabbit team can switch to teammates to catch on until they are exhausted, and if the all of the members in rabbit team are exhausted and cannot stand on one leg, the rabbit team lose the game and must be punished too.
Banana rib hobbyhorse riding

Extraterritoriality is the state of being exempted from the jurisdiction of local law, usually as the result of diplomatic negotiations. Extraterritoriality can also be applied to physical places, such as foreign embassies, military bases of foreign countries, or offices of the United Nations. The three most common cases recognized today internationally relate to the persons and belongings of foreign heads of state, the persons and belongings of ambassadors and other diplomats, and ships in foreign waters.
Extraterritoriality is often extended to friendly or allied militaries, particularly for the purposes of allowing that military to simply pass through one's territory.
It is distinguished from personal jurisdiction in the sense that extraterritoriality operates to the prejudice of local jurisdiction. This wasnt true

Matt Sheridan figured the picture was not quite as gloomy as some were painting it.
The veteran Winnipeg guard was diagnosed with a bruised joint in his knee yesterday, not a season-ending torn ACL as some had first suspected.
"Yeah, it's good news," said Sheridan, who suffered the injury during Friday's CFL game against Hamilton. "Definitely, the prognosis is much less severe than a torn ACL.
"Everyone else was being like it was Doomsday, saying it was an ACL (problem) but with the amount of movement I had in it, I didn't think so."
Sheridan could even return as soon as the Blue Bombers play the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Labour Day Classic in Regina this Sunday.
"It's very positive," said Bomber head coach Jim Daley. "I would say he may even play this weekend."
Sheridan, however, believes he will be out for a couple of weeks, although he will know better today.
If Sheridan is out for the short term, Dan Gyetvai would start with Cory Annett activated as a backup. And there is a chance that Danny Frame could return.
"The loss of Matt Sheridan, who has been an anchor for us, would be significant," Daley said before learning the extent of the injury. "But Dan Gyetvai, who has recovered from his own ACL injury, has started a lot of games for us in the last few years and he finished the game when Matt got hurt just prior to halftime. He got half a game under his belt and looked good. He graded out very well."
BROWN OUT? There are still doubts, however, that defensive lineman Doug Brown (foot) will be able to make the trip to Regina. Brown missed his first pro football game when the Bombers lost to Hamilton 41-39 and his status will be updated today. Slotback Darnell McDonald is also questionable with a swollen hand.
On the other hand, kick returner/slotback Keith Stokes (shoulder) should be ready to return after missing the Hamilton match.
"(Stokes) expects to play," Daley said. "His shoulder's not 100% but much improved so, there is certainly a very strong chance that he would play, a less strong chance that Doug Brown will be able to play.
"Gilles Colon had a very good day in terms of kickoff returns but you always wonder if you had your starter (Stokes) there, would he even been a bit better?"
SECONDARY CONCERNS: Although the pass rush was poor, Daley declined to blame that for the secondary's pathetic performance versus the Tiger-Cats. Instead, he blamed individual players in the secondary without naming them. However, cornerback William Fields and safety Wes Lysack were among those who made glaring errors on Hamilton's long bombs.
"You always have to look and evaluate," Daley said. "If we have to change another (player) we will. Right now, we just have to re-group and play sound football with the people we have.
"They have been, for the most part, improving and playing well together and if I thought any differently than (believing) they will play better, then we should have five more guys in here fast. We have to play better as a group and I have every hope and confidence they will."
HASHMARKS: Daley talked about the possibility of CB Dedric Mathis, cut by Hamilton last week, still coming for a look but Bomber GM Brendan Taman doubted as much ... Although QB Lang Campbell, who is on the Bomber neg list, was among yesterday's NFL cuts, Taman said none of those are about to catch a plane to Winnipeg just yet ... The Bombers plan to fly to Regina for Sunday's match, then bus home after the game.

Spotify unveiled the first batch in a series of musician-curated apps, including contributions from Quincy Jones, Tiësto, Rancid and Disturbed, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The popular streaming service hopes that these apps will give users a new way to explore their massive library of songs with artists acting as tour guides. Spotify expects to launch more artist apps in the future, including one from Steve Aoki.
"With such a deep catalog at our fingertips, we've looked to partner with artists who have specific competencies in genres that might be neglected by most of our users," D.A. Wallach, the frontman for Chester French and Spotify's artist-in-residence, said at last night's launch party in Los Angeles. "You have to realize with 16 million songs, most people are just scratching the surface of what we have."
Jones' app, for instance, features playlists of tunes from his own heroes and mentors, tracks that exemplify the art of hit-making and tunes from movies, with accompanying audio commentary from the super-producer.
"It enables the artists to really have an ability to have an effect on their consumer base – their fans," said Disturbed frontman David Draiman. He added, "I have all the respect in the world for terrestrial radio, for satellite radio, for radio in general. However, the wonderful opportunity that this affords us as artists is to be able to market not only our own material but to champion the bands we love."
The Disturbed app features playlists from each member of the band, and Rancid's features the group's favorite punk tracks. Over on Tiësto's Club Life app, the DJ will highlight a new single each week and an album and festival of the month, plus a chart of the hottest dance tracks.
"Rather than becoming an editorial platform and telling you what you should or shouldn't listen to," said Wallach, "we decided to turn Spotify into a platform itself and allow creative people to build interesting music-based experiences."

Problem: after installing a apparently bad wad for neogamma r5. After Wii restarts, pressed A after health screen, went complete black. No preloader, have bootmii, but not as boo2.
I got gamecube controllers. What do i have to do to unbrick it. Thanks a lot.
I have New Super Mario Brothers for WII. and Smash Brothers for gamecube.
First cross your fingers, boot the wii and hold + and - and the health screen, then push A a few times while holding. If your god loves you, your wii will boot and you can uninstall the bad wad.
Unfortunately, that probably will not work. Not installing preloader was a bad idea, as it would be perfect for this situation. So without preloader, you will not be able to fix this wii without a modchip, preconfigured to autoboot.
With a modchip set to autoboot, you may be able to do the following-
If you patched your system ios, you can use autoboot recovery disks. If you did not, they will not work.
If you installed indiana PWNS, you can use that to load apps, without a patched ios.
If you did not do the above, you will need many many many games that have large save files, install channels and DLC. You can use those to file your nand full of crap, which would send you to data management to free up space. Form there you can bannerbomb the required apps.

KAI RYSSDAL: Google made a big announcement today. Even though it drove shares up almost 2 percent, the news might have struck some as underwhelming. To the dismay of gadget geeks everywhere, there will be no Google phone. But what the company does have planned could turn out to be an even bigger deal. Kevin Delaney covers Google for the Wall Street Journal.
Kevin, good to have you with us.
KEVIN DELANEY: Great. Thank you.
RYSSDAL: So what we have here is not the G-phone, the Google phone, but something else really entirely. What is it?
DELANEY: Well, Google is releasing, with a bunch of partners, handset makers, carriers, there are about 34 of them in all, this thing it calls Android. And Android is a software platform for cell phones. And basically what it does is it's the software that runs inside your cell phone. It's Linux-based, it's all the sort of software that cotrols what your cell phone does, and Google and these others are making this software available free and open-sourced for basically anybody who makes a cell phone to use. And they say it's going to bring some advanced features to cell phones when the phones that run it start hitting the market for consumers in the second half of next year.
RYSSDAL: I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess that this all has something to do with Google advertising on your cell phone and making that work. Right?
DELANEY: Yeah. You got it. You're all over it.
RYSSDAL: You know in theory now, Google has a customer base. I guess an audience base that is the whole Internet, right? And what it's trying to do is expand that to everybody on the planet with a cell phone.
DELANEY: Correct. There are about 3 billion cell phones out there, or something like that, and far fewer PCs in the world. And Google's taking this sort of broad view that you know for years the cell phone carriers and the handset makers have not made it paticularly easy for Google to get their services in any visible way on their handsets. And Google's basically decided to try and sort of blow up their model and blow up the walls a little bit and get themselves in there by providing easy access to the Web, where Google has all these ads, and some other applications that Google will benefit from.
RYSSDAL: I think I heard you say at the beginning that they're gonna give it away. How are they gonna make money if their giving it away? Just by those ad revenues?
DELANEY: Yeah, exactly, it's by the ad revenues that Google's gonna do it.
RYSSDAL: What's the incentive for these handset makers, these phone companies to participate with Google and to put its software on their pieces of equipment?
DELANEY: Yeah, that's a really good question. The handset makers and the carriers have really struggled with Google's presence busting in on their industry. The carriers struggle with it more. But what we're seeing is that Google's giving away software is actually a pretty attractive thing. Google says that software represents about 10 percent of the cost of a handset. Plus, carriers see a potential revenue stream in this ad revenue that Google said it's likely gonna share and I think that's part of the answer, that there are benefits to the carriers. Although, a lot of them are still pretty concerned about whether Google might eat their lunch in the end.
RYSSDAL: Let me ask you very quickly about the consumer experience. When I fire up my new wizz-bang, not-a-G-phone-but-with-Google-software-on-it phone next fall or whenever this comes out, am I gonna see the big Google logo someplace? Am I gonna know?
DELANEY: Well, you know, they're releasing this as open source and so people can -- the handset makers and the carriers can -- use it anyway they want. And that includes including or taking off the Google logo. Google's negotiating, with the carriers especially, to have Google prominently on any devices that use the software. You gotta believe they've got an in to do this. So that your default search engine might be Google or your homepage might be Google when you boot up this browser. And Google executives have not ruled out that there won't be a G-phone at some point. They're very coy in speaking with journalists today and they said you know if there's going to be a G-phone Android, this software that they're releasing, would be the platform upon which it would be built. So there's still a chance that we might see Google devices coming into the market at some point in the future.
RYSSDAL: Kevin Delaney's a senior writer for the Wall Street Journal. He covers Google out of their San Francisco offices. Kevin thanks a lot for your time.
DELANEY: Great, thank you.

I cant get the loader to work. I copy the files to my sd card, I go to channels, sd card and when I insert the SD card nothing happens. The Wii does not freeze it goes on as usual and there is on square with a question mark on SD card wii screen. no loader pops up. I also tried to see maybe its the wiiconnect 24 that was on. Whe i got to wiiconnect 24 it says I must review the adreement services first. I click ok and then is says wii shop and connect 24 is not currently being offered.

That's why.Quote:

I have a 3.2e wii and I use preloader and I also have a custom theme installed and wiihome too.
If I was to update to 4.1 would I have to remove preloader etc first or can I just update without removing them?

Do you suppose that lady might consider taking that thing off her head?Originally Posted by LuvThisStuf!;3729673;Love this thread. Thanks for starting it. Here's my 2 rupees......Please take Samantha off already. It's too painful to watch her try to banter with people Like nails on a chalkboard OK. I feel better now.
I love the idea of having a Dancing with the All-Stars edition!!! Outstanding suggestion! I think previous shows were better because there were less contestants and you got to know each one better. I can't remember who danced what with whom at the end of a 2-hour show. Less is more.
Please stick with more traditional music. I can't get into some of this off-beat music that's supposed to be a waltz, or latin dance, etc. Jeeez, the music they pick is awful sometimes. And those singers are terrible! (Gosh, am I being snarky enough???? Sorry. Maybe we should have a cat claws smiley....) Anyway, I can't remember the song last week, or the dancers (major ear trauma), but the singer was off-key throughout the majority of the song. Please. The singing is terrible.

QuestionPosted in Credit Scores
Question By
3 People Helped
My debts are as follows:
112,000 - Law School Loans
3,600 out of 4,500 - Chase Visa
0 out of 3,000- Citi MasterCard
0 out of 2,300 - Wells Fargo Visa
My loan payments are 290/month. I had one late payment in December of 2012. I paid it after 5:00pm the day it was due ( after close of business), so it was reported on my credit report.
I don't not have any other delinquencies or negative credit reporting. I have a limited credit history, as I have never financed a car and am only 27 years old. I am trying to boost my credit score by getting an auto loan, but every loan officer wants me to buy the car at 13-16% APR, which should be a crime. I am not going to pay that. I know if I get my credit score up, the APR will go down.
What can I do to boost my score from 650 to 720 in the next year? PLEASE HELP, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have about $500 of disposable income at the end of each month.
**Also, mortgage and loan officers have told me that my DTI ratio is too high regarding buying a home**

Ahh lendors! What are they thinking?
Loans may initially hurt your credit because of hard inquiries. Those go away after two years. Also, it lowers your average account age which will also lower your credit. However on time payments will increase your score. It would eventually be positive if you make every payment on time.
DTI is Debt to income ratio. Obvisously law school was expensive. You get paid well but not well enough to let lendors forget about that large loan. Adding additional loans and credit cards to that will only put your credit score under more risk in lendors eyes. Would you lend Tommy $50 if you knew he owed Steve $100 still and Tommy only makes $25? Lendors want their money back if your a risk they make you pay for it. Less of a risk less they will ask for you to pay. It may be that you should try another lendor as well. Typically your bank or credit unions will have lower rates than car dealorships offer.

I have reviewed tons of responses to various applicable questions in the "tools" section. However, and with all due respect, I don't have time to read 902 responses and replies to other questions. Anyone who works a full-time job with a family doesn't have that kind of time. I was hoping that someone could please give me some basic information or sequence on how to best improve my score. Obviously, I have read many tips on how to raise my credit, but if you are not a financial advisor, then the FICO equation might as well be a foreign language. I used the credit estimator and plugged in a car loan, and my credit dropped 30 points. I don't understand why. That' is just one of many reasons why I asked my orignial question. Should I not get a car loan? Should I pay my credit card off first? Should I ask for increases in my credit lines and not use them? Should I get a car loan and pay it timely? So many questions, and I don't have the answers nor the time to read 1000 replies to someone else's question. A direct reply would be greatly appreciated. In the short time it took you to write your response, you could have probably given me some great advice.

Being a wedding photographer, this bride knew exactly what she wanted for her own wedding and it did not include any grand gestures and over the top design. Instead, she chose to have an intimate ceremony on the beach in Maui with her closest friends and family and the result is pure, Hawaiian romance. Wendy Laurel captured all the special moments on the beach and if you love romantic beach weddings as much as we do, click here for the full gallery.
Click here to see the entire gallery of images!
From Wendy Laurel...Joe and Stacy chose to get married while on vacation in Maui because they wanted to have a simple wedding in a beautiful location. As a wedding photographer herself, to Stacy the photography was second only to the exchanging of the vows. "Choosing Wendy Laurel as my photographer was easy, her photos make me smile" said Stacy. "I wanted someone who would make me feel comfortable in front of the camera since I'm only accustomed to being behind it."
Joe and Stacy wanted very simple. Because she is used to shooting big weddings, Stacy wanted to go the opposite direction and have a simple beach ceremony with just her close family and friends. She wanted to have fun and enjoy her wedding with no stress. A small beach wedding is an intimate celebration and very romantic. They picked North Malauka in Makena next to the old Hawaiian church named Keawala'i. Its amazingly beautiful there with beautiful blue skies, palm trees, and white sand.

uPortal 2.4.x does not compile or run under JDK / JRE 1.5. It works best under JDK 1.4.x. uPortal 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 support JDK 1.3. uPortal 2.4.2 probably works under JDK 1.3 but it is not particularly intended to support JDK 1.3. Since uPortal 2.4.2 the 2-4-patches CVS branch has acquired dependencies on JDK 1.4 features such that 2.4.3 when it is available will require JDK 1.4.
If you need a uPortal that supports JDK 1.5 consider uPortal 2.5.

This project was originally planned as a complement for Carlos Bernal's bahelor's degree project: Flâneur. The idea was to produce an interactive piece to be implemented during the exposure of the work (by the way if you don't know Carlos works please give it a visit, it's amazing).
For accomplish that goal I decided to recycle some small projects developed in Processing, and then the idea of convert sound in images was incrusted in my head.
After some attempts Carlos decided to discard this idea but I decided to follow it in my own way. I used the project and evolved it for my class with Esteban Gutierrez, another great artist and amazing teacher.
The project captures the sound in an specific place and convert it to images in the screen of the computer (originally produced a series of sequential images, then a PDF file and finally a video). These images are directly affected for the environment.
Then I thought that was interesting but not enough, I usually enjoy loosing myself in the exploration of pathways more than in accomplish some specific goal, and Esteban let me do it (thank you so much for it).
I wanted to play with the capture of the image, then decided to employ a song as the background sound for the next steps in the exploration. The song is form the album: Street of Lhasa (Sublime frequencies) from Zhang Jian, year 2005. And here the idea of index is absolutely relevant.
The sound record is an index of a geographical and temporal space, as the photograph is also an index but in visual terms. The idea of alternate and transform indexes was so appealing.
My next step was to record the video directly from the processing program to a video file, at the same time capture it using the web cam and then repeat the process but scanning the screen of the computer and capturing it. A digital image captured by a digital device and transformed in a different but still similar type of media.
That was really interesting, more than the outcome, to think about the image in those terms.
Next step: Capture the images produced in the screen in color film (ISO 200, Fujifilm). Again the index is re-captured and transformed, is like an accumulation of layers of indexes. For me that is a perfect metaphor of the photographic act.
The analogical images latent in the film were developed and then scanned, another loop between the analogical and digital worlds, another melting of the index captured again and transformed in a new index based on the last one. Layer over layer.
The scanned film negatives were transformed to positive in the computer and then the distance between the analogical and the digital captures was wide.
Next step: Close the gap once again. The scan of the screen and the digital version of the film scanned were printed over acetate using a laser print and then used to make analogical photograms over black and white photographic paper (Kodak). Another loop and jump between the analogical and digital capture and reproduction of the image.
The final piece was a PDF document, a log of the process. During my talk about it, an engineer asked me what was the goal of it, and the answer was: Get lost in the process, walk the path and enjoy the travel.
And if you ask me what I've obtained of that journey I have to say that many of the concepts, ideas, tools, and questions developed, explored, discarded and even rejected in this project were in many ways the foundation to my bachelor's degree project.
Initial conceptual maps for the project.
Some of the initial captures and explorations in Processing
Final piece employed. Last for that moment, version of the Processing program.
Captures of the color negatives.
Scans of the screen.
The "lumen prints", contact photography, photograms.
I hope that you will find it interesting.
Please if you have the time visit my website or my Facebook Page.
And I've decided to employ my old blog about Bipolar project as an space to share my ideas about the photographic image and my explorations if you are interested: Bipolar
