Trina Solar Statement on Request to European Commission to Initiate Trade Investigation
Jul 27, 2012, 06:08 ET from Trina Solar Limited
ZURICH, Switzerland, July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) ("Trina Solar" or the "Company") offers the following statement regarding the EU ProSun Initiative Group's announcement that a formal request was rendered with the European Commission to investigate alleged unfair importation of solar products made in China.
Trina Solar believes that its transactions with customers in Europe were made in accordance with fair trade practices. It has, and will continue to, adhere to prudent and recognized industry practices and standards in the European Union. Trina Solar is confident that these facts will be affirmed with the proceedings.
"Trina Solar's track record of technology innovation has contributed to great value creation for our global and European partners," said Jifan Gao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Trina Solar.
"We remain committed to the strong relationships we have developed in the European solar industry and will continue to deliver industry leading solutions together with our customers," added Ben Hill, President of Trina Solar Europe. "Open markets and increased competition have made solar energy in the European Union affordable, contributing to an increasingly diversified European energy mix and progress toward the ambitious EU 2020 climate change targets and 2050 roadmap. Today, the price for solar energy is already competitive with more carbon-intensive energy sources in some areas in Europe. A misguided trade conflict could undermine years of solar industry progress, investment and innovation in Europe," said Mr. Hill.
As before, Trina Solar remains dedicated to bringing the sustainable benefits of clean and innovative solar energy products and services to residential, commercial and utility scale customers worldwide.

In the last year, we had a stready stream of releases, from Factor 0.84 to Factor 0.90, bringing many improvements to functionality, stability and performance. There are also several new contributors on board, which is great. While Factor 1.0 still seems far away, I feel that I'm making good progress and getting closer to achieving my goals.
Here are some code line counts:
- Factor VM (written in C): 10285 lines
- Factor core (written in Factor,
core/directory): 21016 lines
- Factor libraries (written in Factor,
extra/directory): 58853 lines
- Unit tests: 10101 lines
- Documentation: 187405 words
Compared to the stats from last year, we see that:
- the VM has only grown by 2000 lines (yet has evolved considerably in the time)
- the core actually shrank because of better coding practices, and because the UI was moved out of the core
- the amount of contributed libraries has more than doubled!
- the documentation and unit tests have grown considerably too
I think this shows that we're moving in the right direction. I hope to release Factor 1.0 some time next year, and make it a 1.0 release worth the five year wait: an expressive language, with excellent performance, solid libraries, powerful tools and a robust implementation. And after I get a chance to build some large-scale applications with Factor and draw upon the experience gained, the language will continue to evolve into Factor 2.0. Watch out.

Koukash outlines Salford vision
Salford owner Dr Marwan Koukash has unveiled 12 new signings as part of his plan to make the newly-named Red Devils the "biggest rugby club in the world".
England internationals Rangi Chase and Gareth Hock led the way, both on four-year deals, as the colourful racehorse magnate splashed the cash but he insisted he has not made any illegal approaches during his transfer spree and pledged to comply with salary-cap rules.
Warrington captain Adrian Morley, Wakefield scrum-half Tim Smith, St Helens duo Francis Meli and Tony Puletua, overseas-based trio Jake Mullaney, Junior Sa'u and Steve Rapira, London hooker Tommy Lee and Batley pair Paul Walton and Greg Johnson are the Reds' other recruits for 2014.
Koukash made the announcements to an enraptured audience of 450 fans and corporate guests as well as the media at the Salford City Stadium, where he mounted a passionate response to allegations brought by Wakefield coach Richard Agar of illegal approaches to Wildcats players.
"It's rubbish," he said. "Richard you are totally out of order and, since you have made the allegations formally, you should be big enough to go back to the RFL with the evidence so that our name can be cleared.
"It's the same message to other clubs - just because you have your own problems, don't deflect from that by accusing us.
"The days when other so-called big clubs came to our club and took the best talent have gone and gone forever.
"Nobody questioned them but now, because of the exciting things that are going on at the club, other players are expressing an interest in coming here."
An outspoken critic of the salary cap, Koukash says he will not seek ways to get around the £1.8million wage limit for next year but will push for an increase from 2015.
Koukash, who is reported to have recently made a £1million offer to Wigan for Sam Tomkins, was cheered when he pointed towards Rugby Football League chief executive Nigel Wood in the audience and said: "I haven't paid any of the (players') wives and I haven't any intention of doing so.
"I've respected the salary cap this year and I will continue to respect it. However, I will work closely with the RFL and with my colleagues in Super League to try to make them see my point of view."
Koukash also outlined plans to turn the complex surrounding the two-year-old Salford City Stadium at Barton into a "destination", with hotel, a casino, water park and sports bars.
"We need to encourage extra income from outside the sport and I plan to turn this site into a true destination with rugby at the centre," he said.
"My aim is in the next four or five years to transform the Red Devils into the biggest rugby club in the world."
Salford head coach Brian Noble admits he missed out on a couple of transfer targets and says he is still hoping to add to his 2014 squad, which will contain around 12 of the current players.
"We pretty much got most of the people we identified but hopefully there will be a couple more to come," he said.
While most of the new signings had been predicted, Parramatta full-back Mullaney, 22, was something of a surprise after Salford had been linked with Warrington's veteran number one Brett Hodgson.
"He's played the last 13 games for Parramatta at full-back but he first came to my attention when he played for Wests Tigers a couple of years ago when he was a young bloke," Noble said.
"He was supposedly the new Brett Hodgson. A lot of people's tip was that we were taking Brett Hodgson on board. That hasn't happened and Jake Mullaney became available.
"He's wants a crack in the Super League and he is keen and eager to show his prowess. I'm pretty confident he'll be a smash in Super League."

Paul has worked with my high school son twice, and he is excellent. He has a relaxed way of relating to the students, and had my rather quiet son talking at length about his thoughts on his paper. Paul helped with leaving questions for my son to answer in writing in his paper, and later with discussing details to modify during revisions. My son felt that the sessions were much more helpful than any direction he has ever received during this years at school.
Well, this certainly was a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much for the glowing review. Working with your son has been quite an enjoyable experience and I look forward to many more opportunities to unlock his (temporarily hidden) potential. As always, your support is most appreciated and crucial in this enterprise. Thanks again!
My son told me that Paul was very detailed and have great strategies on how to choose the best answer for the SAT English test. I'm positive that Paul will be able to help my son increase his SAT score.
Paul worked with our son on the reading portion of the ACT test. Paul was very helpful in teaching our son strategies to use in taking the test. Through his teaching Paul helped him raise his reading score by 9 points and this resulted in a composite score of 33. We are very grateful for Paul's time and patience working with our son. The time and effort Paul put in has helped expand our son's college options tremendously.
When I noticed my daughter's falling in grades, I found Paul's profile suitable to help my child. Today, I am glad that he is helping her to improve grades in high school English. His outstanding skills as a English tutor combined with patience helped my daughter to receive proper guidance. I like his interactive way of teaching. He is bringing the best out of my child. I recommend him to any one looking for best English tutor.
Dear Sampath,
Thank you so much for your positive feedback; I am confident that all the hard work that your daughter has done will pay off big dividends in her grades, both now and in the future! My key to success is based largely on the hard work of my students! It continues to be a pleasure helping your daughter gain more confidence and skill in English. Thanks again.
Paul is a tutor to our teenage son for improvement in English comprehension and essay writing. Within a couple of weeks of Paul's tutoring we noticed a big improvement in our son's English skills. Paul genuinely likes to help our kid. He uses great humor and ingenious skills to befriend our son and help him. We would recommend Paul.
Dear Tahera,
Thank you very much for your positive feedback; I know that most of the credit goes to both you and your son for working so hard. I look forward to guiding your son through this second semester, so that we can see even more significant growth in his writing, reading and thinking. I can hardly believe the difference already between his skill level now and what it was when we started! Thanks again.
Everything goes very well, Paul is a dependable, responsible, and knowledgeable tutor. We really learned a lot and had fantastic 2 hours every time. He record everything we practiced and find us the exact way to improve it, vocabulary, pronunciation, etc. Also using the books he searched for us, as we work on ESL, helped us a lot. I would recommend him to anyone search for academic help and ESL tutoring.
Alfie, thank you so much for your positive feedback; I am so glad you are happy with our lessons! When I think about how hard you are working and the effort you put into the learning process, I am very gratified. I look forward to many more fantastic sessions in the coming weeks and months. Thanks again!
Paul is tutoring my child for ACT English. He is enthusiastic and has motivated my child and helped with his sense of confidence. I believe the highest compliment came from son who said "I wish he was my regular English teacher". I highly recommend Paul; he is prompt and easy to work with.
Dear Karen,
Thank you so much for your glowing review! I do indeed consider it an honor to lead your son along the path that ends in greater self-confidence and a real appreciation for our complex language. Keep up the good work; it is through your good example that your son is such a good student.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Throughout my many years of teaching Introduction to Literature, British Literature and American Literature, one essential, ongoing component of my classes was always centered on the skills necessary to achieve high scores on all the National Exams; I tried to teach them how to think. Regardless of what we were reading at the time, my approach always brought close attention to the process of increased comprehension through perceptive and active reading strategies. Certainly, the management of complex passages and their questions was a regular component of our weekly efforts. Year after year, my students achieved scores in excess of their expectations, and this, of course, opened many windows in the area of college admissions. It was hard work; but it paid off in a grand fashion!
My experience in teaching English ranges from the rudiments of Grammar to the heights of Literary Analysis. During my years in the classroom, my students learned to love to learn; that was my approach. While keeping a keen eye on the skills to be developed, whether we were diagramming sentences, analyzing poetry, or practicing for the ACT, I sought to foster an atmosphere of both discovery and enjoyment. My classroom environment emphasized the direct correlation between honest hard work and sterling results. From 6th grade to Senior year, my students discovered hidden talents and appreciated the work it took to achieve their highest potential!
Currently, I am assisting several students who are on their journey toward English Mastery. Some have already taken the TOEFL and are seeking greater understanding of English idioms and cultural references, especially in social interactions that contain humor. Others are preparing to advance their scores on specific sections of the test. I have greatly enjoyed all these lessons, particularly when it is clear that sudden understanding has taken place.
My twenty-eight years of experience in teaching English for grades six through twelve have equipped me with the diverse approaches, clever explanations, and light-hearted encouragement mannerisms that seem to be a perfect fit for students of all ages who want to gain greater skill and confidence in communicating and comprehending our complex language.
Back in 1981, I began a Grammar instruction program at a small boys school and it has been paying enormous dividends for decades. Throughout the Middle School the young men were mastering the essentials of formal English Usage, Diagramming and all elements of Grammar. As they entered High School, they had a command of proper English that set them above their peers, especially in the areas of sophisticated and correct sentence and paragraph construction. The hard work definitely paid off for all of them!
My experience with the rigors of high school reading include quite a few years of instructing Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors in the fine art of looking closely at the text. Our selections varied quite a bit from classic American tales to Medieval selections to semi-modern British pieces. I always stressed the importance of becoming an active reader, one who is engaged with the text and is always asking questions so that his mind remains focused. Invariable, the students would leave the class with a greater appreciation for not only the craft of writing but also the skill of reading.
For all the years that I taught Sophomores and Juniors, one of the ongoing disciplines in my class was preparation for the national exams: ACT. SAT and AP. Regardless of what genre, time period, or native country we were studying the fine-tuning of accurate reading habits and sensible literary analysis were always imbedded in my approach. By year's end each student had increased both his skill and confidence in reading more actively, analyzing more intelligently and writing more eloquently.
By the time the day of the test had arrived, all the students were much better prepared than even they thought possible. Their admirably high scores were always a satisfying dividend for their hard work.
The blank page. Nothing is more intimidating to a young or reluctant writer. After decades of working with students from grade 6 to 12, I have acquired the insights and techniques that can be of great help to struggling writers of all ages. Starting with the basics of Grammar Mastery and progressing though Advance Placement analysis and composition my classes have given a tremendous boost to all of my students. Using a variety of literary sources, as well as some imaginative exercises, I have been able to increase both the skill and confidence of my students.

VICTORIA — B.C. Premier Christy Clark travelled to Kelowna today, where she is expected to announce her intention to run in a byelection in a riding currently held by Ben Stewart, the minister of citizens services and open government.
Clark has scheduled a 2 p.m. news conference at a winery owned by Stewart.
Clark lost her seat in the Vancouver-Point Grey riding in the May 14 election.
Stewart was first elected in 2009 and has held several cabinet posts for the Liberals. He would have to step aside to make way for a byelection, the Vancouver Sun reported.
His Westside-Kelowna riding is considered safe Liberal territory, with Stewart capturing 58 per cent of the vote in the most recent election. It's expected Stewart will return to his business, the Quail's Gate Winery, the newspaper reported.
The NDP's David Eby won against Clark in the Vancouver riding after his second attempt to unseat her.

How long to cook Corned Beef in Crock pot?!
Question: ~ How long should it take to cook a 2 1/2 lb corned beef brisket in the crock pot....???? and when do I add the potatos and cabbage?
Answers: ~ How long should it take to cook a 2 1/2 lb corned beef brisket in the crock pot....???? and when do I add the potatos and cabbage?
Here is your simple basic recipe!!!
I wish I could have corned beef and cabbage!!! Its my favorite but my husband gets ill at the smell of cooking cabbage!!! Enjoy it for me.
Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage
3 lb Uncooked corned beef brisket
2 Carrots, chopped into large pieces
5 Small red potatoes, halved
2 Onions, quartered
3/4 cup Malt vinegar
1/2 bottle (6oz) Irish stout (Guiness)
1 tsp Mustard seed
1 tsp Coriander seed
1 tsp Black peppercorns (whole)
1 tsp Dill seed
1 tsp Allspice (whole)
1 Bay leaf
1 Head of cabbage (small), cut into wedges
For the Horseradish sauce (optional):
1/2 pint Whipping cream
3 tbsp Prepared horseradish
In a LARGE (6.5 qt) crockpot, place the carrots, potatoes and onion in bottom. Add the liquids.
Spice rub the brisket; place on top of the vegetables.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours. Add cabbage wedges. Cook an additional 3 hours on LOW.
Serve with Coarse Grain Mustard and Horseradish Sauce.
For the Horseradish Sauce:

Cook's Notes
You need a BIG crockpot. Serve with mashed potatoes, of course.
3-4 lb. corned beef brisket or bottom round
1 (6 oz.) can frozen orange juice, thawed
Trim excess fat from corned beef. Cover with water and let stand 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Fit beef into slow cooking pot. Pour orange juice over meat. Cover tightly and cook on low for 10-12 hours or at high for 5-6 hours
I put it in on High until it gets bubbling then turn to low for about 6 hours. When it is done the way we like it I can slide a fork right through the meat and when I twist it the meat falls apart easy. I put cabbage in the last hour. I do not care for cabbage overcooked, some do I guess. Potatoes I can not say as I do not care for potatoes with corned meat of any kind. Hope this helps you.

All Hail the Virgin Queen
Even if you don't know much about English history, you probably have a vision of Elizabeth I as played by Cate Blanchett in two movies and Dame Judi Dench in an Oscar-winning turn in Shakespeare in Love. Powdered face, dressed to the nines, tall and redheaded, Elizabeth was savvy enough to remain on the throne, unmarried and childless, for 45 years. "Her traits of character were not the feminine qualities of sweetness and gentleness but the masculine ones of pride, strength, aggressiveness, self-confidence and courage," historian David Harris Willson writes in A History of England.
Elizabeth's toughness was a product of a difficult, even scary childhood. Born to Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn, on September 7, 1533, she was supposed to be the king's much-hoped-for son and heir—and he was not pleased to be presented another girl. First wife Catherine of Aragon had been cast aside after producing only one child, Elizabeth's half sister Mary. By the time Elizabeth was three, her mother had been executed. Daddy soon declared her illegitimate, and she proceeded into stepmother hell as he worked his way through four more wives. Imprisoned at 21 in the Tower of London after Half Sis nicknamed Bloody Mary for burning Protestants at the stake took the throne, Elizabeth spent a year living in fear of being beheaded herself.
No wonder, then, that after she became queen at age 25, upon Mary's death, Elizabeth remained permanently on guard against claims that her reign wasn't legitimate—including carping from the Catholic followers of a different Mary, her Scottish/French cousin more on her below. Luckily, Elizabeth enjoyed the warm support of the English people and enlisted a small group of smart male advisors, including the ultra-loyal Lord Burleigh, who plays an important role in Mary Stuart.
Why didn't Elizabeth marry? Nobody really knows, but most experts believe that when an early love, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, proved to be unsuitable he was already married, then his wife died suspiciously, she concluded she was better off alone than wed to a foreigner who might seize power for himself. Thus began the cult of the Virgin Queen and Elizabeth's ongoing fascination with handsome men. Historian Willson puts it delicately: "Her courtiers had to pretend they were smitten by her charms long after those charms had withered."
The Many Loves of Mary
Unlike her older cousin, Mary Stuart enjoyed a peaceful, pampered childhood and was groomed from an early age to rule two countries: her native Scotland, the homeland of her father, King James V; and France, the home of her mother, Mary of Guise. The king died when Mary was only six days old, and she was crowned queen of Scotland before her first birthday; at age five, she was swept off to France to grow up in the royal household with the understanding that she would eventually marry the Dauphin. "The little Queen of Scots is the most perfect child I have ever seen," the king declared, and she was given a first-class education, mastering French, Latin, Greek, Spanish and Italian in addition to her native Scots. Married at 16, she and her husband, Francis II, became king and queen of France a year later, in 1559.
That's the happy part of Mary's story. The unhappy part started just a year later, when Francis died of complications following an ear infection. The French nobility booted the young queen back to Scotland, "a lawless, backward and poverty-stricken country torn by feuds of rival clans and by constant deeds of violence," Willson writes. In other words, the Braveheart types couldn't care less about their delicate 19-year-old queen—and vice versa, as the young widow turned her eyes beyond Scotland toward the throne her cousin had just assumed.
Mary's hopes were dashed by the fallout from a pair of disastrous marriages. First she fell in love with a nobleman cousin, Lord Darnley, whose good looks masked a character variously described as vain, weak, insolent, treacherous, debauched and unstable. Darnley arranged to have Mary's trusted secretary stabbed to death in front of her when she was pregnant; a year later, Darnley himself was killed in a suspicious explosion. Only one good thing came out of this union: Mary's son, James, who became king of England after Elizabeth's death—but that's not part of our story. Within months, Mary had married the man suspected of killing Darnley, causing an uprising of the noblemen who implicated her in the crime, as well. Fearing for her life, she decided to seek the help of Elizabeth. Um…bad idea.
Clash of the Titans
By decamping for England, Mary put Elizabeth in a bind. If Elizabeth sent her cousin back home, Mary would have been killed, which would reflect poorly on England. If, however, Elizabeth offered support, the Queen of Scots and her Catholic followers might press her claim to the English throne. So Elizabeth arranged to have Mary quietly kept under lock and key, moving from prison to prison for 19 years.
As Mary Stuart begins, Elizabeth is hearing conflicting advice from her courtiers, including her old swain, the Earl of Leicester, who urges clemency for Mary. On the other end of the spectrum, the loyal Lord Burleigh believes that Mary should be beheaded as soon as possible—or better yet, murdered on the sly, so that Elizabeth's royal hands can remain clean. A council of judges has found Mary guilty of treason, but Elizabeth's followers are wary of allowing her to become a Catholic martyr.
For her part, Mary doesn't believe her cousin will order her execution. "Could she descend to that?" the character says in Peter Oswald's page-turner of an adaptation of Friedrich Schiller's 1800 historical drama. "See my crowned head dishonoured on the block? It would degrade her status and the status of every monarch."
Elizabeth isn't thrilled by the predicament she's in, either. Though the court pronounced the death sentence on Mary, she's the one who will have to carry it out. "I will be hated for it until the day I die," she laments in the play. "No way to hide, it will be my responsibility. That's the worst of it!"
In real life, Mary and Elizabeth never met face to face—but that would make a pretty dull play, so Schiller brings the two together at Fotheringay Castle on a rainy night in February 1587. The result, as director Phyllida Lloyd tells Broadway.com, is "everything you want from a night at the theater. It's a gripping thriller; it's romantic; it's political; it's a brilliantly constructed roller coaster. And it's two great parts for girls!"
God Save the Queens
The Broadway revival of Mary Stuart began life at London's Donmar Warehouse, following in the footsteps of the company's hit revival of another Schiller play, Don Carlos. Lloyd, known in America for Mamma Mia! but an internationally famous director of opera and classical theater, tapped a frequent collaborator, Tony winner Janet McTeer, for the title role and stage great Harriet Walter as Elizabeth. The pairing proved to be combustible and now three years later, they're bringing the production to Broadway with an American supporting cast.
Not surprisingly, both actresses feel that their queen is the sympathetic one. "History is written by the winners," McTeer tells Broadway.com, "and Mary is often portrayed as this romantic ninny who runs away with the guys and messes it all up. In fact, she was incredibly bright, incredibly clever and a very good politician until it all went horribly wrong. I try to give her all that passion and intelligence and a lot of backbone and strength."
As for Elizabeth, "I love the woman she was before this play begins," Walter tells Broadway.com. "She was so courageous, and she used the force of her personality to unite a country that was fed up with war and tired of factions. She recognized that the English people wanted to be English more than they wanted to be Catholic or Protestant. It was the cleverest kind of balancing act, and she managed to stay on the throne by using what she called a male mentality."
Now Broadway audiences can make their own judgment about these two fascinating women. "You're seeing two actresses absolutely at the peak of their power, who've been playing this kind of language for several decades," Lloyd notes of her stars. "They're both fearless, and they're just wonderful on the stage together. You need what we in England call 'big hitters' for this play, and here they are."

So the day I made this delicious Hawaiian Pulled Pork it was really cold and dreary. Just one of those days that you just don't want to go outside. But I needed buns but it was cold outside…I had quite the dilemma going on. I decided to check out my saved recipes to see how difficult it would be to make some homemade. I have always had quite the hatred towards dough. It takes forever to make and it gets my hands all disgusting and sticky. But then I found this recipe, which kneads the dough in my KitchenAid and doesn't end up sticky. It still takes awhile to rise so make sure to plan for that.
My first attempt at these came out a bit dense. I think it was the combination of not warm enough water/milk (they didn't rise as much as I would have liked) and super old bread flour. I don't even know when I bought that darn bag of flour…it had to have been at least 3 years old. When I went to throw out the bag of flour, I checked the expiration date to see exactly how bad it was….the date was the day Noah was born 7/19/2010. Over 2 1/2 years past date. Ooops. I definitely bought new and tried them again. And they turned out perfectly light and fluffly. Just what you want in a hamburger bun!
Thank goodness it was so nasty outside that day because these not only tasted delicious (even with the expired flour) but I know and can pronounce every ingredient in them unlike the ones from the grocery store. I will definitely be doubling the recipe in the future so that I can freeze the extras for future meals.
Hamburger Buns
recipe from Pennies on a Platter
3 tablespoons warm milk
1 cup warm water
2 teaspoons instant yeast (or 1 package)
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3 cups bread flour
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
sesame seeds
2. Transfer dough to a bowl lightly brush with olive oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, between 1 to 2 hours.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts (if using a kitchen scale, 3.9 oz each). Gently pull back the sides of each to form a ball and place on the baking sheet, 2 to 3 inches apart. Cover loosely with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise again for 1 to 2 hours. The dough is ready when nearly doubled.
4. Fill a large metal pan with a shallow layer of water and set on the lowest rack of the oven. Move the other rack to the center position. Preheat oven to 400 F. Brush the tops of the buns lightly with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake buns for about 15 minutes, until golden brown, rotating halfway through. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Angie's is my favorite italian restaurant! Their food is always delicious and they make everything by hand even the noodles. I go out of my way to avoid chain restaurants and Angie's is a mom and pop restaurant with excellent service and even better food. Although it seems to be al little unorthodox Angie's serves both Italian and Mexican food and truly do an excellent job at both. You wont be disappointed after a visit to Angie's and all the locals will agree with you!

Oklahoma defensive tackle Stacy McGee was suspended indefinitely Friday for what coach Bob Stoops called a violation of university policy.
McGee is the fifth Oklahoma player to be suspended during this offseason. Receiver Kameel Jackson was eventually dismissed from the team, while defensive back Quentin Hayes and receivers Jaz Reynolds and Trey Franks have been reinstated to practice but won't be allowed to play in games.
"It's a low blow for us. He's a great player and he's a brother to us because we're all really tight right there in the middle, in the trenches," fellow defensive tackle Jamarkus McFarland said. "We have to treat the situation like an injury. The train still rolls, even though we love him and everything. We've still got to fill that spot."
McGee has started 17 games over the past three seasons. He played in 12 games last season, starting three times and recording 22 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks.
"That's a big loss but we can always overcome anything," defensive tackle Casey Walker said. "We'll be all right."
Defensive end David King said coaches approached him at his locker after practice and informed him he'd be moving into McGee's position on a full-time basis for "the first couple games of the season."
"I don't mind it. I've played there before, so it's nothing new to me," King said. "I'm comfortable playing down there and I'm heavy enough where I can play there and hold my weight. We'll see how it goes."
Stoops said King, who filled in at tackle while McGee and Walker missed time due to injuries last season, is consistently weighing in at 275 to 280 pounds and will be able to slide inside without a problem.
"If he could treat himself to a few more cheeseburgers, he could be 285 in no time and he's got the strength to play in there. The times he has played in there, he's done well," Stoops said. "So, in all likelihood, we'll rotate him in there with those other guys."
The Sooners' season opener is Sept. 1 at UTEP.
Stoops has been pleased with the growing depth along the defensive line, offering positive reviews on freshmen defensive ends Charles Tapper and Mike Onuoha plus redshirt freshman Jordan Phillips at tackle. Sophomore Chuka Ndulue figures to take on a bigger role with King moving inside.
"They're going to do great out there, and I'm just going to try and do the best I can down inside to try and fill that void that we have down there," King said.
McGee had informed his fellow defensive linemen in recent days that he had broken the rules and punishment might be coming. It didn't become official until Friday.
"It's one of those things where it's like, `I knew better.' You know what I'm saying? So, it's like when you're a kid and Mom tells you not to touch the stove and you do it anyway, and you got burned," Walker said. "It's just one of those things. He learned his lesson and whatnot, and he's just moving forward now. You can't dwell in the past."

I let Ziggy, my automated futures-trading program, trade one SPX futures contract (ES) all week. It finished with a $297 profit. Here is the equity-curve chart for the week (click to enlarge):
And here are the daily totals:
As you can see, Monday and Tuesday were a disaster. There are two reason for that. First, both days were "reversal days" where prices glided down in the morning, and glided back up in the afternoon. Those are the worst days for Ziggy. Fortunately, they only occur once a month or so, but I had the bad luck of getting hit with two of them to start the week.
The second reason for the losses was slippage. My initial tests showed that Ziggy could do OK with market orders, but it turns out that that was a wrong conclusion. Ziggy got nickled-and-dimed to death with bad fills on Monday and Tuesday to the tune of about $300.
So, on Tuesday night, I re-tooled for limit orders, which is a big deal because it complicates the program's logic. I don't have an ideal solution to the problem of un-filled orders yet, but the new version works much better in the real world. As you can see on the "7/29/2009 – 7/31/2009" line of the table above, Ziggy v2.00 made $979 from Wednesday to Friday, with a 60% batting average.
Wednesday was the big day. That was the type of day that I had in mind when I first started working on the program. The SPX barely moved, but the intra-day action was wonderfully volatile. Watching Ziggy on Wednesday was like watching a John Deere combine harvesting the crop.
So, even though the week started out with an industrial accident, I'm very happy with how it finished up. It's not easy to watch your computer makes trades. It requires a lot of discipline to resist the urge to "help" it. I only did that three times over the entire week, and without my "help", Ziggy would have made another $100 or so.
It's a funny thing; while I have coded my trading rules into software, the software is a much better trader than I am. Ziggy always follows its trading rules, it trades without emotion, like a robot, and it has perfect concentration. The latter is very important for scalping, which is sort of like driving a race car: if you doze off for just a few seconds, you might crash and burn.
Ziggy can make enough money to pay for its own electricity now, so it's earning its keep. If it can prove itself over the next couple of weeks by building up enough equity, I will let it trade two contracts. At that point, I can start working on code that scales into, and out of, positions to get better average prices.

A new international trailer for director James Mangold's "The Wolverine" casts the titular superhero in a new light as "a samurai without a master."
The "X-Men" sequel of sorts takes place after the events of Brett Ratner's "The Last Stand," and Hugh Jackman's character finds himself more vulnerable than ever in modern day Japan where an old friend offers to relieve the regenerative mutant of his immortality.
See video: 'The Wolverine' Trailer: In Bed With Jean Grey
Even though the Marvel hero is growing tired of everlasting life, the new trailer makes it appear as if he's not ready to give up his curse just yet. But that just means a venom-spitting, snake-slithering mutant named Viper will have to steal it from him.
Another new element revealed is a vision of Wolverine's death, and the longest look at giant metallic menace, the Silver Samurai, yet.
Wolverine sure does have his hands full. Take a look at the many enemies he'll be slicing and dicing in theaters this summer:

PVC and I are bitter enemies. I have friends who can make beautiful costumes with this fabric, but I do NOT have that skill!! Nevertheless, I managed to get most of the bubbling and puckering out of the finished costume, but god was it a nightmare!
The leotard and choker were made from a navy blue cotton knit and the gold bias was made by hand from a lovely gold satin I have. So.much.mitering.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I almost went insane after mitering all that hand-made bias tape! Never again!!

DURHAM — The mood of the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team after Saturday night's loss to Boston College reflected its .500 record. There were equal amounts frustration as there was optimism.
First, the frustration. A weekend sweep at the hands of No. 6 BC left UNH at 9-9-1 overall and 5-5-0 in Hockey East entering the team's three-week holiday break. UNH was ranked No. 18 in the USCHO poll going into the weekend, but has since dropped out.
"We just need to figure out how to win games," said senior forward Nick Sorkin, who leads the Wildcats in goals with 11 and is tied with fellow senior Kevin Goumas for the team lead in points with 20. "We're always there and playing well, but maybe there are some mental lapses, bad bounces and bad breaks. We're playing good enough to win, so it's gotta turn around."
Inconsistency has been a real bugaboo for the Wildcats, which had won eight of 10 before the sweep vs. BC. UNH does not return to action until Dec. 28, when it plays Cornell in the Florida College Classic.
"Ending the first half of the season with two losses is tough to eat," said junior forward Matt Willows, who scored the Wildcats' only goal on Saturday night. "We're going to have to sit on it for three weeks. We'll have to continue to move forward and get better."
UNH lost 6-2 on Friday night at the Conte Forum after the Eagles scored three second-period goals in a 1:40 span of the second period. Saturday's game before a sellout crowd at the Whittemore Center was tighter, but resulted in a 2-1 BC win. UNH was 0 for 4 on the power play in both games.
Both nights the Wildcats faced top-notch goaltending performances. Brian Billett stoned UNH for 39 saves in Friday's game, then Thatcher Demko stopped 28 of 29 shots on Saturday.
Now for the optimism. With the exception of the disastrous stretch in the second period of Friday's game, UNH coach Dick Umile was happy with the way the team performed over the weekend.
"If they compete like that in the second half, I think we'll win our share of games," Umile said. "We'll be a tough team to beat."
UNH outshot the Eagles 61-43 for the weekend and did a fairly good job staying out of the penalty box. The Wildcats were called for just two penalties, both matching, meaning Boston College did not have a power play the entire weekend.
Being able to compete well with a conference rival left the Wildcats upbeat despite losing ground to BC (10-4-2, 6-1-1) in the league standings.
"That's definitely the consensus in the locker room," Willows said. "I think we had a great weekend. (Friday) we let down for five minutes, and you can't do that against a team of that caliber. They capitalized on every mistake we (made), but overall, I think we had a great effort."
UNH goalie Casey DeSmith made 19 saves on Saturday. He was pulled for Jeff Wyer after BC's barrage in the second period of Friday night's game. Wyer made three saves on four shots the rest of the way.
Thanks to Hockey East expansion, the weekend series was the only two meetings of the year between UNH and BC, meaning the Wildcats won't get a chance to avenge the sweep unless the teams meet in the postseason.
"Take away about five minutes of the second period (Friday) night, and I think we had a pretty good weekend," senior defenseman and captain Eric Knodel said. "It still hurts to lose these games. But at least we're playing well. (The) records don't show it, but we're right there with those teams."

Troy Williams has been playing well again this season and despite his commitment to Washington coaches from UCLA have recently reached out and shown much more interest.
The Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne four-star prospect expected this after the recent de-commitment of quarterback Eddie Printz from the Bruins but Williams said he's happy with Washington and does not plan to switch.
"I heard from (UCLA) a little bit (Friday) night after my game," Williams said. "They were at the game and they said I had a good game but I'm pretty solid. I'm a man of my word so I doubt I'll change my mind.
Article Continues Below
"I just feel really at home when I'm up there at Washington. If it doesn't work out then I'll find something else to do but I think it will work out. I really love it up there so hopefully I can just stay up there."
Williams, rated as the third-best dual-threat quarterback and No. 101 prospect in the 2013 class by Rivals.com, is expected to take an unofficial visit to Washington when it hosts USC on Oct. 13. His official trip is planned for later.
"I think I'll probably take that after the season," Williams said.
So far, the four-star quarterback and his Harbor City Narbonne team are playing well. They're 4-0 and coming off a 22-7 victory against Gardena Serra this past weekend when UCLA was there to watch the game.
Williams, who committed to Washington in June, has thrown for five touchdowns and rushed for five more already this season.
"Everything is going well," Williams said.
"We're just going game-by-game and focusing on practice to make sure we're not getting too ahead of ourselves."

Increase multi-copter efficiency with better propellers
Propellers available to us today were designed primarily for airplanes and I believe there may be some efficiency gains to be had with better designs. Propellers were "tuned" for moving aircraft and I don't believe the engineers envisioned that they would spend most of their time spinning in a stalled configuration hovering a multi-rotor aircraft. If you look at propellers designed by Aerovironment or NASA for slow moving aircraft, it appears that they are much wider and of greater pitch near the hub than we commonly see on offerings by Xoar, APC, Master AirScrew, etc. I am not an aerodynamic engineer, but there must be a reason why the professional props look very different than what we use. May anyone offer insight as to how we may improve propeller design for multi-copter use in an effort to increase flight times and/or payload capacity?
Attached is a pic from NASA's Helios, a solar powered, slow moving, long endurance aircraft.
Prof Selig and his students have tested model props in his low speed wind tunnel at UIUC.
Its opening statement sounds a bit like your question.
"While much research has been carried out on propellers for full-scale aircraft,
not much data exists on propellers applicable to the ever growing number of UAVs.
Many of these UAVs use propellers that must operate in the low Reynolds number
range of 50,000 to 100,000 based on the propeller chord at the 75% propeller-blade
station. Tests were performed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
(UIUC) to quantify the propeller efficiency at these conditions. In total, 79 propellers
were tested and the majority fit in the 9- to 11-in diameter range. During
the tests, the propeller speed (RPM) was fixed while changing the wind-tunnel
speed to sweep over a range of advance ratios until reaching the windmill state (zero
thrust). To examine Reynolds number effects, typically four RPM's were tested
in the range 1,500 to 7,500 RPM depending on the propeller diameter. Propeller
efficiencies varied greatly from a peak near 0.65 (for an efficient propeller) to near
0.28 (for an exceptionally poor propeller). Thus, these results indicate that proper
propeller selection for UAVs can have a dramatic effect on aircraft performance."
Thank you Herks. I went to the website and read the document and also explored the data provided on various props.
If I am interpreting the graphs correctly, it looks like some of the GWS props perform rather poorly and Graupner Slim CAM props and APC props perform rather well, which matches my assumptions without tangible or measurable proof.
I apologize for my ignorance but I could not find definitions or explanations for some of the letters used in their calculations.
η (Greek eta - I think this is efficiency)
P, p and ρ (Greek rho)
n n
Cp (coefficient of power?)
Ct (coefficient of thrust?)
Thank you.
yes, first one is efficiency,
rho is air density (kg/m3)
n is rotational speed ( rps not rpm),
Q is torque (N.m),
J is advance ratio (J= v/nD)
D is prop's diameter (m)
Cp is coefficient of power (Cp = P / (rho.n^3.D^5) )
Ct is thrust coefficient (Ct = T / (rho.n^2.D^4) )
there is a correction to make (mounting fixture drag correction) to the data:
The props on the small multi rotor copters are a LOT smaller than the ones you are looking at in most cases.
All else being equal a bigger diameter and slower turning prop will do better at static performance.
You mentioned running in a stalled condition. By using pitch values that are low for the diameter you can avoid running them in a stalled condition. For props in the 8 to 9 inch diameter range I found from static testing of motors that up to 4 to 5 inch pitch values run in a non stalled state. But once you hit 5 to 6 inch pitch the sound changes and the currect required to spin at a given RPM rises dramatically. To me that indicated that the flow over the blades became separated or "stalled". So stick with lower pitch values and you gain a lot of efficiency.
Due to the very low reynolds numbers for model propellers when you look at the first two inches out from the hubs it is pretty normal to find that the propellor makers reduce the real pitch over this portion to something well under the proper amount so as to work at creating nothing more than a low drag "connector strut" which holds the middle and outer portion of the blades which do the work.
If you want to try some testing it would not be that hard to make a true "helical" pitch prop and run it with a wattmeter and thrust guage. The watts used per oz of thrust is a good indicator of the final efficiency. For such testing you could use balsa or spruce wood props running at low to medium power consumptions so as to avoid blowing up the wood props.
From our own testing that a buddy and I did some years back involving various commercial plastic and wood props and trying to modify the airfoils and thickness to achieve optimum performance for the poor motors of the day I found that the airplane props are really not that bad. And that included making up a couple of different props from scratch that had the wider inner sections as you see in that picture. Seems like our props were too small to gain much from the wide inner areas. And the true tip to tip helical pitch with wide hub area produced great amounts of drag for props in the 10 inch size range.
@ Yomgui Thank you, I appreciate you defining the symbols.
@ Bruce, Thank you, I value your opinions. Currently I am running 2820/14 motor spinning 14x4.7 APC props on 4S3P A123 (6900mAh) or 4S2P 4300 LiPo (8600mAh) packs. The APC prop is the larges prop I could find available as a counter rotating version. From there I chose a motor that would be slightly overloaded at full throttle, in this case 36A max rated motor and 38A to 40A actual draw at full throttle. http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/pro...roducts_id=837
I have been able to lift 14lbs but would like to increase my flight duration. Adding battery packs adds flight time with diminishing returns. Adding another battery pack adds a few minutes and yet another pack adds perhaps only 1 minute. Some people have been able to achieve 60 minute flight times without payload and Aerovironment claims 40 minute flight time with EO and IR payloads. http://www.avinc.com/uas/small_uas/qube/ How would you best tackle the mission of lifting 2-3kg for at least 30 minutes and an ultimate goal of 60 minutes? I seem to be chasing my tail and could use another perspective. I was thinking perhaps my answer lies in prop design, but I could be mistaken. Even using xcopter, I can't seem to break the 30 minute barrier with any payload. http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc_e.htm
Thank you kindly,
That Xcopter app is pretty sweet.
For giggles I played around with it using a single type motor and battery pack and only varied the prop charactaristics.
For my example I chose a Turnigy G32-770 powered by a 4000 mah 3S3P pack on a 100 oz 3 rotor copter. I only offer this as passing info.
The telling point was the propellors used. I didn't get decent results out of the duration until I went with oversize props driven through a reduction gear setup. With normal fixed pitch props I could only get around 15 minutes. And in most cases less.
Once I started using the custom sizes and adding in gearing to keep the motor current under control I easily got up to 30 minutes using a set of 28 inch 5 blade rotors driven through a 4.5:1 gearing. The duration mounted quickly with both diameter and adding blades.
Going back to the Xcopter I picked out your AXI 2820/14 motors and 4S3P pack options and tried the same thing at 160 oz (10 lbs) AUW. With an APC 14x4.7SF prop the motor was over it's max current rating by quite a bit and total duration was a mere 9.3 minutes. Switching to the 28x6 5 blade rotors used in my previous example got me up to 21 minutes of duration.
So it would appear that your route to success is going to be custom made larger rotor like props with multi blades. The multi blades aids by allowing smaller rotors. The same results as with the 28 inch 5 blade rotor required a 36 inch diameter 2 blade rotor.
Of course this all means that your multicopter will need to grow in size. But it's not realistic to expect a 10 to 14 lb craft to be compact or to do well with the relatively small commercially made props that are available.
One thing to consider, there are two types of propeller efficiency:
-prop's real efficiency (measured in % because it is = Pout/Pin). This must be as high as possible for (fast) airplanes, but has no meaning for a copter.
-prop's thrust efficiency (measured in g/W as a convention). This is the only thing that matters for copters because they only need thrust while the air flux velocity doesn't matter (that one multiplied with thrust = Pout).
The two efficiencies are not always proportional.
If you move a nearly infinite mass of air with an infinitely small velocity (with a given relation between the infinitenesses, but I won't go further) you get FINITE thrust with close to zero spent power, which means a very high thrust efficiency. That's why bigger diameter props tend to be more efficient statically.
Hmmm... I have this motor in my calc, it follows quite well innov8tive's prop data, and so I guess your motor is really overloaded, more than what eCalc (xcopter) would compute (well, if you really have around 15 V on each motors).
For the prop, slow fly style props are good, you should be looking for high diameter and low pitch. I have doubt on the multiblade props... I think ecalc is optimistic here again.
Others have better endurance, but they also have a very lighter quad, so...
