hey kdean, thanks for the info, i didn't get a manual because I ordered it from ebay and it came wrapped in chinese newspaper.
Turns out though the servo problem is my own fault... you mentioned digital servo, which I thought I had bought, but turns out I bought the ES08MA instead of the ES08MD. The A for analog and D for digital The servos on my 400 however are digital, so maybe i'll steal those for a while since the frame is cracked and awaiting repair. Tho, since those are all hacked up to fit that heli with holes drilled special for it, I don't really want to do that, but the temptation might get to me.
Alright, i replaced my servos with the ones from the v400
haven't had a chance yet to try to set it up like you mentioned, just finished modifying them and installing them. I'm getting ready to go out now, so probably won't finish until tomorrow. If I can do my bench testing and setup of the servos and controllers tomorrow, maybe by the afternoon i'll have her in the air
You weren't kidding about those screw heads wanting to strip really easy. especially the tiny hex bolts, who thought that super tiny hex bolts be a good idea anyway... just asking for trouble.
How's your v500 project coming along?
finally got the v450 put together, set my swash and pitch, programmed the esc, went through the servo setup (per your steps, thanks), checked that the gyros appeared to be in the right direction (they were, but moved more slowly than i recall), ran it all without the blades, set my rx potentiometers based on a vid i saw on youtube, then took it out back for one more check over and a test flight.
Well things didn't go so great....
I would throttle up, and right about the time it was ready to lift off, it kept wanting to tip left or right real bad (mostly left i think). I'd try to straighten it out but it wouldn't stay. I was messing around with the knobs on the rx and trying again (I thoroughly confused myself as to which way would make more sense to turn it up or down, the + and - are around a circle, so it could be either way). I tried about every combo I could think of, but it didn't seem to help much. At one point i had it about two inches off the ground before it took a dive. I think that one busted the shaft inside the tail (maybe belt driven would be better..) cause all the gears up to the shaft move fine, and it looks ok, but there is no power transmission through the tail boom anymore. I'll take that apart and see if I can fix it, then i'm just back to my original problem.
Not too sure if I just haven't found the right settings for the rx/tx, or something is wrong with the gyro in the rx. Hopefully it's just my settings, I haven't had a chance yet to reverse the Aile switch on the rx, it's possible this is the issue. When i tilt the helicopter though, it looks like the swash plate goes to the correct direction, though they only move very slowly and very little. Anyway, i'll try to take apart the tail and hopefully fix it, then try reversing some of the gyros. Did you have to reverse any of yours, kdean? I think I have mine located in the same place as you do. I have my rx mounted where the gyro would typically go, it's behind the main shaft with the antenna pointing toward the tail and wires pointing toward the main shaft
still working on it.... I fixed the tail, it had just pulled out too far and disengaged, and then reversed the aile switch on the rx. I thought it was feeling a little more stable when just scooting, so I went to see if i could hover when she took a quick dive left and snapped off both the blades and sent them wizzing past me The flybar also got all bent up. I have spare blades, and maybe i can straighten the flybar and try again....
Thats sounds like the problem i had with the 4f200 rx. I still cant figure out why the gyro / servos cant do what i want it to do. On my 2702v rx i have the alie and elev switches in the off position, so none of them are reversed. In my tx i had to reverse the elev and pitch servos, but thats using the stock v450 servos. Your servo type might make your set-up different. Also, i turned the sesnitivity and balance delay all the way down because of the flybar. I did try adding the 3 axis gyro while testing it the last time, and like you the alieron gyro hardly moves and its hard to tell if its going in the right direction. The elev gyro is not a problem. I can see and feel it working, but i dont know what the alieron gyro is doing...
I wont get a chance to fly it today, i really want to check the pitch changes i had to make. Hopefully tomorrow.
Take it slow. Good luck.
wooohoooo! well, kinda, but...
the good news is that i finally got it to hover for about 10 seconds, the bad news is that it wobbles like a s.o.b. Think i bent the main shaft during one of my collisions trying to get it set up right. since it's trex parts though i can go to the hobby shop tomorrow
thanks for all your help kdean, and maybe my troubles here can shed some light on your 4f200. In the end it all had to do with the on off switches on the rx. Even though the gyros kinda looked like they were working correctly, they weren't, it was just my mind playing tricks on me. You know how i said they were kind of slow (more so the aileron than the elevator), well it could be because the movement i was paying attention to was the "return trip" of the servos instead of the correction.
It sounds like your 2702 is opposite from mine. On the rx I had to reverse both the aileron and elevator servos, and on the tx I had to reverse the aileron.
Having to reverse the elevator gyro really threw me off, because when I had both of them in the off position the elevator gyro seemed to be working better and quicker than the aileron gyro and i was pretty sure that one was in the right direction. Maybe having both of the gyros in the off position when they both had to be on is what made me think they were working. On your 4f200, it might be worth a shot to switch both the elevator and aileron gyros at the same time and see what you get... even without flying you might notice a big difference in the gyro swash correction, once mine was working right i could definitely tell.
I just want to post some useful youtube videos I came across.
The first one is from somebody with a 450 clone (though not pro) with the walkera 2702v rx. He also still has the flybar on it, and demos a flight, so you know it works. He talked about the knobs on the rx, which I followed his settings with and got mine to hover (i had to look close at his to tell which way all the way up and all the way down is). However he does not talk about the switches for the gyro reverse (the tiny on/off switches on the rx). On mine I had to turn Aile R and Elev R on, but kdean did not, so you may have to mess with these. Here is that vid, about 2 to 3 minutes into it he spends a minute or two talking about the rx.
Another video that is helpful is about setting swashplate and pitch with a flybarred heli. I had to revisit this, because this is my first heli with a flybar.
The last video shows the ccpm servo arm setup, similar to what kdean wrote a few posts back. Reading kdeans post specific to the 2702, and watching this general video should get you there.
Hope that helps anybody else with a similar project that comes across this thread. If you do have a similar project going on and find this at least somewhat useful, feel free to post and say hi
Here are some pics of my 450 por projects. I just had the one in the front out for some 17 tests. I think things are good, i added some gyro sens to both alie and elev and did not get any wobble. There is a pic of the rx settings. Im still not sure if the alieron gyro is working. I tilt the heli and the swash does not move. It did feel a little tippy, and it does correct yaw eventualy, but needs constant alieron inputs to stay level. When i get my new 2702v i'll check to see if it is normal for the alieron gyro to act like its not working. I may just be the flybar that is saveing the heli from tipping without corection.
I did adjust my swash mix in the tx to make it more agile. It is recomended that all swash mix be set at 70%, but i found that it made loops difficult due to not enough elev extent. So, i now have elev at 80%, alie at 70%, and pitch at 80%. I was able to do much tighter loops today. Still not perfect at it, i seem to be leaning on the alieron a bit when i pull back on the elevator. The tail is very locked in. The breeze was blowing my v400 tail around, but the v450 held nice. Piros are fast and stop on a dime, very crisp. (as tony from xheli would say)
Glad to hear you're having a good heli day! I finally got my 450 into a decent hover and flew around a bit, so i finally had a maiden flight
After replacing my main shaft and flybar shaft (still need a feathering shaft cause the blades aren't tracking great, but forgot to pick that up), I had the wobble almost totally gone. I was flying around, then the wobble all of the sudden came back with a vengeance. I had been meaning to secure my rx better because I had only taped it on with double sided tape, barely hanging onto the location for the 450 gyro. When flying the wobble kept increasing so I had to land in the tall grass and my tail rotor chopped at the grass. This stripped my tail drive shaft gears (the little differential type angle gears near the main gear). I zip tied my rx on and it's much more secure now, and it seemed more stable in the air, but when I took off I had tail wag issues due to the stripped gears, so I've had to ground it for a bit until I can get some new gears. Looks like another trip to the hobby shop tomorrow I think though once I get that worked out (and a new feathering shaft), it'll be flying nice. That one flight around the backyard really got me feeling good about this heli
That pic of your rx setup is pretty handy. Are the servo sensitivities turned mostly up there? Mine are probably 80% up right now, but i haven't had a chance to play around with them much yet. I have tail delay and balance delay all the way down.
2612v rx
After some youtube research, i found the this rx (from 4f200) can be used on t-rex type helis. Due to the difference in servo placement, the rx needs to be mounted upside down. Common placement is under the heli, or on the 250 size under the rx mounting plate.
I did see one vid with the rx right side up but he did not share his rx/tx settings.
So, i'll continue to play with the idea, and try to find a nice place to mount my upsidedown rx.
Servo Warning
Hey guys,
Once again walkera servos cause me grief and leave me on the bench with repairs.
I had my V450 out yesterday, and got 4 flights without a hitch. Took it out againg today and the first flight was perfect. The second flight started out fine, was able to get some loops in, and ran some ff circuts, i even did a roll. Then, while doing a circut about 40 feet up, comeing out of a left turn, the heli suddenly tilted to the left. I was able to correct but it then tilted forward and i lost all elevator control. So she went down face first into ground. As i picked up the pieces, i could smell the familar white smoke that came out of one of my other wk 09 09 servos while testing on the bench. And yes, it was the elevator servo that burnt.
Damage includes, blade grip, horizontal shaft, canopy, tail boom, and a new servo. I dont think i'll be flying with walkera servos anymore. When my heli budget allows, i'll be outfitting my helis with hitec servos.
that's too bad about the servo issue, and unfortunately when one part goes bad, many end up needing to be replaced I might look into upgrading my servos to the hitec before they go out on me (tryin to learn from your mistakes, as i hope people learn from mine...)
for me though, i've had a great heli day I had a rock solid hover in my garage tonight with the v450pro Once i replaced the main shaft and the feathering shaft after my severe blade strike when setting up, I started again to hover and it did ummm ok. It still seemed to want to wobble, and i noticed when it started wobbling it amplified itself to an uncontrollable mess, so i needed to land quickly (good reflexes combo'ed with reeeaaaalllly not wanting to crash my heli again did me well tonight). Since I knew everything should be straight enough with new parts (and i could see blade tracking was excellent), i started messing with the gyro settings. I tried little by little, but in the end, turning the gyro potentiometers (little screw looking things) on the rx all the way down ended up being the best. I tried with tail d. and bal d. up half way but couldn't tell much of a difference so i turned them back down. When everything was turned down, and I had the rx ziptied in real tight, she seemed to hover wonderfully can't wait to take her out to the park in daylight
fyi for anybody with this rx, the + and - sign may not be that intuitive. I found that Negative ( - )is CounterClockWise, and Positive ( + ) is Clockwise. Another way of saying that is if you line up the flathead screw slot so that it sits right between the + and - , then you would want to look where the + and - are real close to each other, and that's the direction you need to turn the knob.
After some parts swaping, i now have a flyable v450 pro. Its really a mix of t-rex parts from 4 different places. Its got some EXI, some Tarot, some Alzrc, and some Align.
The alzrc flybarless head has one exi blade grip (grey), and one tarot grip (black). I just have to reset the swash links for the fbl head, and set up the servos with the 2702v rx. Im a little sceptical about this gyro system. Espicialy after the quick nose over this heli did when i was testing the fbl head with the 2612v rx. I still dont like that i cant see the aileron gyro working. I can see the corection tilt on my v400s', and i'm now wondering if it is faulty or not. I will need to have success with this flybarless set-up in a 450 before i try it in a 500.
I'll run alot of bench tests tomorrow before i even think of putting blades on it.
That reminds me, i need to order more blades. My V400s' never crashed this much, but i never flew them as hard.....

With ongoing questions and concerns surrounding glyphosate, the National Wheat Foundation(NWF) put together a five-part series of blog posts titled "The Truth About Glyphosate", sharing the facts about glyphosate and its use in the wheat industry.
- The Truth About Glyphosate, Part 1: How Do Wheat Growers Use Glyphosate?
- The Truth About Glyphosate, Part 2: Growing a Quality Wheat Crop with Glyphosate
- The Truth About Glyphosate, Part 3: How does USDA collect farm data?
- The Truth About Glyphosate, Part 4: Why does USDA collect farm data?
- Part 5 coming soon…
November 21, 2014
What is all of the talk about?
A recent blog post titled "The Real Reason why Wheat is Toxic (and it isnt gluten)" by the Healthy Home Economist has stirred a lot of conversations regarding glyphosate-treated wheat or better known as applying herbicides like Roundup to wheat prior to harvest. The article alarmingly claims that Roundup herbicides are commonly doused on wheat crops a few days before harvest, linking glyphosate residues to the recent surge in Celiac disease and claiming wheat is now toxic.
Claim Vs. Fact
Claim 1: Wheat crops are doused or drenched in Roundup herbicides a few days before harvest.
Fact: It is not routine for U.S. wheat producers to use Roundup, or other formulations of glyphosate, for pre-harvest applications. Most of the states in the wheat belt have drier climates, so getting additional help in maturing out the crop from a desiccant, like Roundup, isn't necessary as much of the field will dry out and ripen on its own.
Although Roundup is labeled for pre-harvest applications, there is a standard pre-harvest interval (PHI) of at least seven to 14 days before harvest can take place, if the herbicide is applied to the wheat crop. Glyphosate, the active ingredient of Roundup, is used to control perennial weeds, although a very small percentage of producers also use it as a desiccant to evenly ripen a field of wheat for harvest.
Fact: Plants are not "doused" in Roundup or its active ingredient glyphosate. Relatively small amounts of glyphosate are applied as weeds emerge. Think about it this way:
No more than 22 ounces per acre mixed with 3–20 gallons of water (depending on application) can be applied pre-harvest. One acre is relatively the same size as a football field (minus the endzones), or 43,560 square feet. If a farmer decided to apply Roundup and he put out 22 ounces mixed with 10 gallons of water on one acre, that would be equivalent to a Gatorade bottle (20 ounces) of Roundup mixed with 10 gallons of water spread evenly on the size of an entire football field. If you converted those 10 gallons of water into ounces that would equal 1,280 ounces. The concentration of the Roundup mix would only be 0.017 or 1.7% (22 ounces of Roundup in 1,280 ounces of water).
As stated in "The Truth About Herbicides in Wheat" by Kansas Wheat, Anita Dille, Ph.D., a professor of weed ecology at Kansas State University states:
"The purpose of herbicides (like Roundup®) is for weed control. There are a number of different times that herbicides are put on for weed control. And often if you think of a wheat production system, it could be right before planting or right after planting if there's weeds during the crop."
So, the majority of herbicide usage happens before, or shortly after planting. That is around eight to nine months prior to harvest and if the herbicide IS used prior to harvest, only a MINUTE amount is actually applied.
Claim 2: Glyphosate applications are not regulated.
Fact: It is important to remember that glyphosate is regulated and poses no concern with regard to human health. It is regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As mentioned above, no more than 22 ounces of herbicide mix can be applied per acre.
Farmers also regularly consult local seed companies and state extension offices to make sure certain farm practices are needed for operation success during the growing season. Practices that are available may not always be practical.
For more information, please reference the additional resources links.
National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) Vice President Brett Blankenship addresses recent concerns about the applications of the general herbicide Glyphosate and encourages consumers to reach out to farmers if they have any questions about their food.

Abdominal Pain Answer A26984
Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am glad to help you out. There can be many possibilities for such pain above the right hip. It can be due to hip condition or injury, pelvic inflammatory disease in females, kidney stones, spinal conditions causing nerve pain, gastrointestinal and genitourinary causes.
You need to consult a physician/ gynecologist for confirmation and get investigations like blood tests, ultrasound lower abdomen, MRI lower spine and cervical swabs done. Treatment is diagnosis specific.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

Release Date: 2012 |
If your drunk and not outside of your own place or hosting a party you're doing it wrong...
But I have no idea what kind of music this is can you tell me por favor
I had no desire to read this. Track by tracks are boring. I skimmed thru it, and nothing you said mentioned what any of this sounds like, but I'm curious because the band has a cool name.
"My drunken review of Django Django"
oh really????????
Its a combination of beatles, beach boys, and beta band. All mixed with a western flair.
and the sentence, I want to present to you, a classic, unoriginal style of reviewing this album." Should tell you the whole point of making a review on a unoriginal style (track by track).
and yet you didn't give it a 5 man.
fantastically written review
Awful band.

text: Jared, I think you hit the nail there, if yo have space to spare, then autoextend can be a good thing, and as Nuno said, limiting it so the FS never runs out of space can save you a lot of calls during the night... I am not sure, however, if it has any impact on performance, or if it would make it necessary to defragment FS or to redifne objects inside the growing DFs. In any case, for out particular environment, there is little space left on any one filesystem, and customer is charged by GB, so they are not so keen on having unused space in the servers... that's why autoextend is not the best option for us. I can see, however, that there are no technical advantages to autoextend, while there are many other advantages, and really good ones indeed.

I live in Egypt. This is relevant in two ways:
1) My parents came to visit me over the summer, and we went diving in the Red Sea and saw a cuttlefish. We were all fascinated, but my dad seriously fell in love. When he got back home, he saw a TV documentary about cuttlefish and how amazing they are, and fell even more in love. It became a major obsession. He was even using cuttlefish examples in presentations for work.
2) I can't really sew here since I have no machine or access to fabric. Actually, I can't really sew anyway, but I like to play around with it as if I knew what I were doing. My aunt has an amazing fabric store in her town and my parents have none, so I emailed her before heading home for Christmas, with the question: "don't judge me for this... but does your fabric store have the zebra print minky in neon colors?" She tattled to my mother, who asked me what on earth I wanted neon zebra print minky for, then became even more confused when i replied "oh, it's just for dad's christmas present."
My aunt's fabric store didn't have the minky, so I ordered it online, which worked out for the better anyway because the pass was snowed over and I couldn't get to her town. Anyway, I spent the better part of the first week of my visit making my dad's present while he was at work:
I modeled it after these anatomic diagrams and this picture:
You'd be amazed at how many squid stuffies and toys are labeled as cuttlefish. You'd also be amazed at how many recipes and how few stuffies turn up when you google "stuffed cuttlefish".
I don't have the sketches that I made of how I planned to make it, but here are the "pattern" pieces I cut out of newspaper. I made two each of the body and tentacles, one in minky for the top and the other in white cotton for the underside. The eye pieces and top of head are in minky only, and the one off to the right (the underside of the tentacle attached to the eye) is in white cotton. You need two, one for each side. Remember to make them mirror images of each other!
I don't have any pictures of the making of the ruffle, but it's basically a really long rectangle, one in each fabric, and sewed right sides together along one long edge. Then I turned it right side out, and since you can't really iron minky, put it under a towel and blasted it with steam from the iron so that the seam would lie flat. This picture is after it was turned, so the seam is along the right, this is the right side of the cotton, and the right side of the minky is face down on the floor. You can see here about how long it is, as i'm pinning it to one body piece and making the ruffles. The non-sewn side goes along the outside of the body, and the minky side goes against the right side of the minky body.
I then sewed the ruffle like that to the minky, and pinned the cotton body piece right side together with the minky and sewed it all together (ie the ruffle is inside the body in this picture since it's wrong side out). This is a lot of layers of fabric! My mother's sewing machine is older than I am and is a serious workhorse. I love it. If you don't have access to a 30 year old sewing machine for this step, you may want to cross your fingers first. There's no way my machine would be able to sew through that much fabric.
(The handbound "happy anniversary" book in the background was my present to my parents for their 30th.)
That's the body. For the face, I hand-sewed felt eyes, then sewed them onto the eye pieces.
Minky is a serious mess to work with. I've never made such a fuzzy hurricane in my life. Between most stages, I threw what I had in the drier on air fluff (NO HEAT) to knock the fuzz off the seams.
Assembly order for the face was sewing the minky to the cotton for all 3 pieces, turning the tentacles, then sewing the pieces together. The top of the head was sewn on after this picture was taken, but it should be pretty obvious where it goes. I stuffed the tentacles at this stage, figuring it would be much easier than trying to do it later.
Here's the whole, unstuffed cuttlefish. I left a space for turning and stuffing on the underside of where the head joins the body.
And an action shot. The cuttlefish was definitely the hit of Christmas, and my brother tried to steal it several times. I'll refrain from posting the (many) shots where he was wearing the cuttlefish on his head, just in case he decides to run for public office one day.

How about we make a list of Miles Davis studio tracks have him rasping to Teo at the end?

About half of the mid-60s studio box qualifies.

Yeah, it was actually "Gingerbread Boy" that inspired me to post in the first place. Such playful affection in his manner there. It gives me the impression that their relationship was something like that of a long-married couple.

Today we're thrilled to welcome Sara Jane Stone, whose Full Exposure was just released. Full Exposure is the first book in the Independence Falls series and focuses on Georgia, a recently-returned soldier who is struggling with life back home. Sara Jane faced her own trying time, but found comfort in a romance novel, just when she needed it most, and she's here today to tell us how and why an Eloisa James book landed on her Keeper Shelf. Thanks, Sara Jane!
Do you remember your first? The romance novel that drew you in and wouldn't let go, the pages filled with tension, conflict, kisses—maybe a peek inside the bedroom—and characters you couldn't resist rooting for? What about your favorite? The journey to happy-ever-after that you've read again and again?
My keeper shelf is lined with these books. But there is one that stands out from the rest. It is not the best romance novel I've ever read, or my favorite by this particular author. (And I've read all of her books.) It is the story that was there for me when I thought I couldn't keep going, paralyzed by my own emotions and fears—on the New York City subway.
One cold December morning about two and a half years ago, I stood on the Q train platform fighting tears. I'd left my screaming nineteen months old son at home, his heart seemingly broken as I walked out the door. After spending five days and nights away from him, I wanted to stay. But his little sister, born early at only 3 pounds 12 ounces, needed me too. And she was still in the hospital, healthy, but too small to come home.
The train arrived and I walked on, grateful to find a seat during the morning rush. Minutes into the hour-long ride to see my baby, I felt like the journey would never end. Emotions threatened to overwhelm and the tears started to flow. The other passengers looked away. And I cried until I reached my little girl, sleeping peacefully in her incubator.
Hours later, I was exhausted, but reluctantly left my baby in the nurses' care and headed for the subway. This time, I was determined to hold it together. Standing on the platform, I reached into my bag and withdrew an advance copy of Eloisa James's The Duke Is Mine that a friend had given me before my daughter's early arrival landed me in the hospital seven weeks before my due date.
I spent the subway ride lost in Quin and Olivia's world. Every day after that, I buried my nose in that book as I left one child and traveled to see the other. I took comfort in how the heroine, Olivia, faced obstacles, how she allowed herself to feel emotions that weren't simple or necessarily welcome. Olivia was not the average Regency heroine. Her interests leaned towards unladylike pursuits—including off-color jokes. And she was falling for the man her sister wishes to marry, which provided an intriguing barricade to her HEA ending. But what truly drew me in and kept me turning pages, was Olivia's struggle with perfection. For the curvy and unconventional heroine, perfection felt out of reach—and that feeling resonated with me.
Eloisa James's words served as a potent reminder that perfection was overrated, that obstacles could be overcome, and that love often waited on the other side. And the story was also a delicious escape from my world of needy toddlers and hospital wards. Years later, I remain grateful to Eloisa James for reminding me that I am strong and that it is all right to lose myself a little in overwhelming emotion (just not on the Q train).
Adjusting to life as a mother of two might seem like a simple, everyday task. Millions of women face this challenge with ease. One could say it is as ordinary as falling in love. But I think as romance readers, we know there is nothing "ordinary" about the journey to happy-ever-after. Each path is unique, wrought with conflict, and a true testament to the characters' strengths.
For Georgia, the heroine in Full Exposure, the first book in my Independence Falls series, her strength shines through when confronting the symptoms of PTSD. Like Olivia, Georgia is an unusual heroine given that she served in the Army and returned home at twenty-something with a burning desire to seek adventure. Despite the obstacles in her path—nightmares, fear of large crowds—she remains unbroken. And I think this strength is something many women, and many readers, can understand.
We often focus on the powerful Alpha heroes in our fictional worlds. But the heroines are just as able. In books, as in everyday life, I think a woman's strength often comes through in the quieter moments. For me, it was the trip between my newborn in the hospital and a child at home. I think these seemingly small moments, when we persevere even though circumstances and emotions threaten to crush us, are at the heart of the romance stories we read and love.
Eloisa James' This Duke Is Mine will always have a place on my keeper shelf because that story was there for me when I needed a reminder that the things that scare me the most are only one more bump in the road to happy-ever-after.

(Adds context, additional detail on year-to-date deficit)
BRASILIA, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Brazil's central government posted a primary budget deficit of 7.224 billion reais ($2.04 billion) in July, the third straight monthly gap as the government struggles with plummeting revenues, according to Treasury data released on Thursday.
The central government account covers federal ministries, the central bank and social security.
July's primary budget balance, which excludes interest payments, was the worst on record for the month and followed a primary deficit of 8.2 billion reais in June.
A sharp drop in tax revenues as the economy contracts has forced President Dilma Rousseff to slash the public sector's primary surplus targets for this year and the next two years.
Her struggles to rebalance public accounts after years of heavy spending during her first term have raised the probability that the once-promising economy could lose its investment-grade rating next year.
In the year through July, the central government has accumulated a deficit of 9.05 billion reais, the Treasury said.
The 2015 central government primary surplus target was cut last month to 5.8 billion reais, or the equivalent of only 0.1 percent of gross domestic product, from 55.3 billion reais originally.
Many economists believe the government will fail to reach its new goal and record a deficit this year as the downturn has turned out to be deeper than what most had expected.

Fifteen Amazing Songs About Boats
So… songs about boats, eh? Well there are quite a few of them, actually. Many of them aren't quite as well known as others, and in some cases (I'm looking at you, The Decemberists) the band's catalog contains more than one. Well I've found fifteen that really capture the mood of being in, on, or around boats and definitely give you that feeling of being, sometimes temporarily, sea-worthy. Enjoy!
15) Sailing The Seas of Cheese – Primus
What's it About?
Well, considering it's Primus, and Les Claypool… who knows. But, it has a nice nautical theme and it sounds like you're actually on the deck of some kind of bizarre boat floating on… well, cheese.
14) Yellow Submarine – The Beatles
What's it About?
According to Paul:
"I was laying in bed in the Ashers' garret… I was thinking of it as a song for Ringo, which it eventually turned out to be, so I wrote it as not too rangey in the vocal, then started making a story, sort of an ancient mariner, telling the young kids where he'd lived. It was pretty much my song as I recall… I think John helped out. The lyrics got more and more obscure as it goes on, but the chorus, melody and verses are mine."
13) Ship of Fools – World Party
What's it About?
In this particular instance, 'Ship of Fools' is a metaphor for a collection of people with either no direction, or just meandering through life. Poetic, don't ya think?
12) Orinoco Flow – Enya
What's it About?
The song itself is subtitled 'Sail Away' and makes many references to places the particular boat has sailed, including the Yellow Sea, Fiji, Peru, and Khartoum. Sadly, Enya was lost at sea never to be heard from again. Kidding.
11) Pirate Looks At Forty – Jimmy Buffett
What's it About?
According to Wikipedia:
Buffett wrote the song about Phillip Clark, at the Chart Room where Buffett first performed after his move to Key West, Florida. The song contains the bittersweet confession of a modern-day pirate as he looks back on the first 40 years of his life and ponders his future.
10) Southern Cross – Crosby, Stills and Nash
What's it About?
Again, according to Wikipedia:
The song, which peaked at #18, is about a man who sails the world following a failed love affair. During the voyage, the singer takes comfort in sailing ("We got eighty feet of waterline. / Nicely making way."), in the beauty of the sea, and particularly in the Southern Cross, a constellation by which sailors in the Southern Hemisphere have traditionally navigated.
9) The Downeaster Alexa – Billy Joel
What's it About?
Guess what? Even though the lyrics are super self-explanatory, Wikipedia steps in again:
The song is sung in the persona of an impoverished fisherman off Long Island and the surrounding waters who, like many of his fellow men, is finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet and keep ownership of his boat. The fisherman sings about the depletion of the fish stocks ("I know there's fish out there, but where God only knows") and the environmental regulations.
8) I'm Your Captain – Grand Funk Railroad
What's it About?
Wikipedia and I are now sleeping together:
The song conveys the pleas of a captain on a troubled sea voyage and facing a mutiny from his crew. Its use of an orchestra during the long repeated refrains of the closing movement served to differentiate it from much of Grand Funk's work. Several interpretations of the song have been given; most revolve around the Vietnam War, and "I'm Your Captain" is popular among veterans of that conflict.
7) Sloop John B – The Beach Boys
What's it About?
The song was originally an old Folk/Mariner's tune from the early 1900's. It turned out that Al Jardine was a big fan of such classic ditties and thought that Brian Wilson should re-write and re-configure the song for the band. He did and the rest is history. Oh, and obviously the song carries a connotation of a bad acid trip, just in case you were wondering.
6) Come Sail Away – Styx
What's it About?
Though there is no actual story behind the nautical themes of the song, it's said that Dennis DeYoung was pretty depressed when, after Lady, the band's next few attempts failed to chart as high. So, there is a somber, regretful overtone to the song. Also Cartman likes it. A lot.
5) Mariner's Revenge Song – Decemberists
What's it About?
This time, literally, the entire story is right there in Collin Melloy's lyrics. Just listen.
4) Sailing – Christopher Cross
What's it About?
It's about a struggling Vietnamese hamburger stand on the outskirts of Moose Jaw, Canada. Just kidding. It's about sailing.
3) Beyond the Sea – Bobby Darin
What's it About?
Original writer, Charles Trenet's French version was a homage and ode to the changing moods of the sea, while lyricist Jack Lawrence, by just adding one word "Beyond" to the title, gave him the start whereby he made the song into one of a dear lover mourning for a lost love, boyfriend/girlfriend, or beloved sweetheart. Thanks, Wikipedia!
2) I'm on a Boat – The Lonely Island
What's it About?
You're kidding, right?
1) Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald – Gordon Lightfoot
What's it About?
Quite possibly one of the most depressing, morose, dark songs in history about a shipwreck. The boat sunk on November 10, 1975 and claimed the lives of all 29 aboard below the chilling waters of Lake Superior. If this song doesn't give you the chills, you need to check your humanity at the door.

Dear Vice,
I was stuck in the Madrid airport with a bunch of lonely weirdos when they closed it on Friday. Honestly I took this photo because of her shoes and not because she's boycotting the tampon machine. Still, it acts as a prescient reminder that Katrina-style social collapse could happen anywhere. If women kept in wait for a plane start pulling out their vaginal accoutrements within the first hour, then its no surprise that a marooned city starts killing itself.

Transparency of Regulation and Cross-Border Bank Mergers Analysis of Interest Rate Differentials across the Monetary Union
There is ample anecdotal evidence that political influence might constitute a barrier to the integration of European banking markets. Based on a data set on the transparency of the supervisory review process of bank mergers in the EU, we estimate the probability that a credit institution will be taken over as a function of bank and country characteristics and the transparency of merger control. The results indicate that a credit institution is systematically more likely to be taken over by foreign banks if the regulatory process is transparent. In particular, large banks seem to be less likely to be taken over by foreign credit institutions if merger control lacks procedural transparency.

When I click "add new row", required field validation raises exceptions/constraints one cell at a time. i.e. not allowing the rows data to be entered in any other order / or for the entire row to appear in edit mode.
behavior reproducible on BatchEditing demo page: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-editing/batch-editing/defaultcs.aspx
It seems like I would have noticed this before, so maybe it's update
related: I have a RadGrid that has Batch Edit row mode enabled.
Is that intended? Can it be changed with an attribute? if not, how about some client side js? I'll be debugging, but would appreciate an available solution.

the search volume and usage aren't very inspiring and the term is one that competes with several others at the same level. It sounds like a name a webmaster might come up with for a directory type site rather than something a corporate would brand under.
if approached unsolicited I'd try for the $2k-$4k ballpark, but the odds of that kind of approach would be low.

World Cup domestic violence fears
The World Cup could spark a rise in domestic violence, police fear.
A number of forces around the UK have set up operations to identify potential abusers and limit the risk of attacks once the football tournament starts on Thursday.
Research suggests the threat of violence in the home increases during the competition, particularly when England play, in part because culprits drink more heavily.
Northumbria Police has launched a campaign called Kick Off, which will see dedicated vehicles on standby to respond to domestic violence alerts when Roy Hodgson's team are playing.
The force's Crime Commissioner Vera Baird said: "It is well known that there's a tendency for incidents of domestic violence to increase during high profile sporting events, particularly as more alcohol is consumed. With this in mind, our police are using the competition to target offenders.
"There will be dedicated cars at each area command responding to domestic violence calls while England matches are played. High risk domestic violence offenders and those with links to football violence have been identified across the force area and officers will be paying special attention to them."
Specialist officers will be on duty to provide support to domestic violence victims and the campaign will be promoted on public transport, off licences, supermarkets and GP surgeries across the area.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have announced a similar initiative.
During the last World Cup in 2010 the force recorded 353 incidents of domestic abuse on the day England were knocked out by Germany.
Almost 6,000 calls were made to police - a 43% increase on the average number over a 24-hour period for a typical Sunday in June. North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) observed a similar spike, with a 34% increase in the number of assaults after England were eliminated.
Detective Chief Superintendent Vanessa Jardine, from GMP's Public Protection Division, said: "We want to make it clear to those offenders that this year' s event as with any sporting event will not be used as a way of justifying such abusive behaviour. As part of our policing plans during the games we will have specialist domestic abuse officers on duty at key times."
Derek Cartwright, of NWAS, urged fans to "drink sensibly".
He added: "In previous tournaments we have seen the combination of expectations, emotions, warm weather and alcohol consumption result in an increase in 999 calls for assaults."
As part of the campaign GMP released three audio clips of reports of domestic abuse.
In one call a distressed nine-year-old reporting an incident involving his parents can be heard screaming "come as soon as you can" and pleading "please help". The call was not made during a World Cup.
In Essex, police are putting on extra patrols during and after England's first match against Italy on Saturday night and have drawn up a list of 117 high-risk individiuals, the Guardian reported.
Research by academics at Lancaster University found that in one force area the risk of domestic abuse rose by 26% when England won or drew during the last three World Cups, while there was a 38% spike when the national team lost.
Sandra Horley, chief executive of domestic violence charity Refuge, said: "It's important to be clear - football does not cause domestic violence. Lots of men who abuse women have no interest in sport whatsoever, and many men who are avid football fans never lay a finger on their partners.
"Domestic violence happens all year round - whether the England football team is playing or not.
"Many forces run high profile awareness raising campaigns during key tournaments - so an increase in reports could reflect the fact that more women reach out for help because they are more aware of support. Football matches can also exacerbate existing abuse: violent men may choose to use match times to inflict further violence on their partners, blaming their actions on things like stress or alcohol.
"The police should be encouraging women to reach out for support every day of the year, not just during the World Cup."
National Policing Lead for Domestic Abuse, assistant chief constable Louisa Rolfe, said: " Analytical and academic work has shown that there is a propensity for an increase in domestic abuse during international football tournaments, usually heightened during match days.
"Police forces have planned their approach to preventing and tackling domestic abuse during the World Cup.
"The majority of forces will be working with local support services on campaigns to encourage victims to seek help and report abuse and send a strong message to perpetrators."

9. Are alterations included in the price of the gown?
Alterations are an additional charge. Alterations vary depending on the style of gown, the fabric and detail, and the alterations needed. We feel that alterations are an important aspect of the bridal gown experience. Quality is key. Experience has shown that free alterations result in poor workmanship.
10. Can I purchase a gown online or over the telephone?
All dresses must be ordered directly from our store, whether in person or over the phone. However, since all sales are final, we encourage you to visit our store to make your purchase. This will allow you to try on all the different styles of gowns to determine which is the most flattering style for you.

Bridal Gown FAQs

We carry over 50 designers. A complete list can be found on our link('Designer\'s page', array('controller' => 'designers', 'action' => 'index') ); ?>.

5. How long does it take for a dress to come in?
Depending on the designer and time of year, a dress can take 5-8 months to come in. However, some designers have quicker delivery times or offer a rush service.
6. What dress sizes do you carry?
We have dresses from size 1 to size 30.
7. How do you determine which size I will order?
We have measurement cards for each designer that we carry. We will take your bust, waist, and hips measurements and determine where you fall on the size chart. Gowns are made according to the size chart, not custom to your measurements. Therefore you may need a few alterations about a month before the wedding, to make it a perfect fit. Keep in mind that extra size charges apply to certain sizes, and if you are over 5'10" you may have to order extra length.
If you are getting measured locally, please print out our bridesmaids/bridal measurement chart and use it to get your measurements taken.
8. Why am I ordering a size 2 sizes BIGGER than my normal size?
Don't panic! Bridal gowns are cut according to a couture size chart and run smaller than the ready to wear clothing you buy at the mall. Most brides order a bridal gown 1-2 sizes larger than they usually wear, and that is normal.
9. Can I order extra fabric?
Fabric can be ordered from certain manufacturers. Your Bridal Consultant will be able to check the availability at the time your order your gown. Keep in mind dye lots may vary, therefore it is not always recommended.
10. Do you carry petite sizes?
Most designers offer a standard size chart. However, certain styles are better on certain body types, and your bridal gown consultant would be happy to help you to find the best cut that works for you.
11. What colors do the dresses come in?
Dresses are available in many different colors. Some of the most popular colors are white, ivory, café, rum pink, gold, platinum, and ice blue.
12. How will I select a color for my bridal gown?
Many factors come into play when selecting the color of your bridal gown. Many options are available and "white" is no longer the expected norm. The first and most important factor is personal preference. It is YOUR wedding, do what you want! If you do not have a preference, you can take into account your hair color and skin tone. There are so many different shades of white and ivory (and all of the other colors mentioned above) and they range from cool to warm tones. Choose something that will compliment you. You can also consider the time of day, time of year, and location. If you are indoors with candles you may choose a different color that if you are outside in natural sunlight. And lastly, you can consider what color you want your bridesmaids to wear. But only as a last resort, because YOUR dress determines your maids dresses not vice versa.
13. Do all dresses need to be ordered, or can I buy one off the rack?
Many of the dresses in our store do need to be ordered, however we do have a large off the rack section with as well.
14. What is a trunk show?
Once or twice a year, designers come to our store for a weekend. We display many of their most popular dresses and the bride has the privilege to work one-on-one with the designer of her dress! It is a special experience that brides never forget.
15. What is a blusher?
Do brides still wear blushers? A blusher is the piece of veiling that covers the bride's face when she walks down the aisle. Some brides choose to wear a blusher, others do not. It depends on the bride's personal style and look she wants on her wedding day. .
16. Do you have veils that will match my gown?
Yes, we do! We also offer hundreds of beautiful veils that will complete the look of any gown.
17. What is the trend in headpiece styles?
Hair jewelry! Tiaras detailed with Austrian crystals, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, and even colored pearls and crystals!! By putting your jewelry in your hair not only do you create a timeless beautiful look, but you have a great heirloom to pass on to future generations! Also with the hair jewelry your veiling is on its own comb. Having a headpiece and veiling separate offers the bride so many more options when it comes to hairstyles. You are not locked into one look. You can take your headpiece and veil to your hair dresser and he/she can create a look that is personal and perfect for you. Plus you can take off your veil at your reception, and still wear your headpiece.
Another great trend right now is the flowers & feathers in your hair, and the "bird cage" veils that just go over your eyes.
18. What is a "hollow-to-hem" measurement?
On occasion a gown will not be able to be hemmed by your alterations person. In this case we will take a measurement from the hollow of your neck to the floor, with you in the shoes and slip you plan on wearing, and have the manufacturer shorten the dress for you. This does require an extra charge.
19. What is a bustle?
Many bridal gowns have trains that are not detachable. The bride's seamstress adds what is called a bustle when doing the alterations, which simply means attaching the train to the back of the dress so the bride may move freely at the reception.
20. How long do I have to pick up my dress after it comes in?
What if I live out of town? We ask that you pick up your dress thirty days after receiving the postcard that your dress has come in. If you live out of town, we do offer shipping.
21. How do I store my dress until my wedding?
Many places would be fine. Please avoid dampness, sunlight and smoke.
Bridesmaids FAQs
1. Do you carry bridesmaid's dresses?
Yes! Our store has a wide selection of bridesmaid's dresses. We also carry mother of the bride dresses, flower girl dresses, shoes, jewelry, and accessories!
2. If my bridesmaids live out of town, can I still order their dress through your store?
Yes, you can! We offer measurement cards for out of town bridesmaids. They simply fill out their information and mail or fax it back to us. It is that simple!
3. How is the size determined for my bridesmaids?
Just like Bridal, we have measurement cards for each designer that we carry. We will take her bust, waist, and hips measurements and determine where she falls on the size chart. Gowns are made according to the size chart, not custom to her measurements. If she lives out of town we recommend that she have her measurements taken by the professional seamstress or alterations person who will alter her gown. Measurements should be taken under street clothes (clothing adds extra inches). Keep in mind that size runs differently than regular clothes, you will probably not order your normal size, Also, extra size charges apply to certain sizes, and if you are over 5'10" you may have to order extra length.
4. How do I begin selecting bridesmaids dresses?
Once you have chosen your bridesmaids, consider their style and color preferences as well as their figure types. Princess and A-line styles are flattering on most body shapes, because the uninterrupted waist and long vertical seams are slimming. A fitted bodice with a ball gown skirt will compliment a tiny waist. We have a selection of over 1000 bridesmaids dresses to choose from.
5. How do I choose a color for my bridesmaids' dresses?
Choose a color that will compliment your bridal gown, and flatter your bridesmaids. Colors range in intensity from soft pastels such as pale pink, to deep muted colors like rose or champagne, to bright vibrant shades such as claret or ruby red. There are also many different fabrics to choose from the most popular choices are taffeta, satin, and georgette. Take into consideration time of year and location. What color is the carpet or walls? Will the color you are considering clash? These are just some general things to consider.
6. When should I order my bridesmaids dresses?
Order your bridesmaids gowns 5-6 months in advance of the wedding.
7. How long will it take for my bridesmaids dresses to be delivered?
Most bridesmaids gowns take anywhere from 3-6 months to come in depending on the manufacturer. We can get some dresses in as quickly as 5 weeks with a rush fee.
8. What are the shipping options for bridesmaids gowns?
The entire bridesmaids party will be sent to one shipping address. We can only ship within the Continental USA and not within 50 miles of the store.
9. Do bridesmaids really have to spend a lot on a dress they may only wear once?
The great news for bridesmaids is that the trend in bridesmaids has moved towards versatile gowns that can be worn again for any special occasion. Many designers offer simple clean lines, classic looks that are not as dated as the bridesmaids gowns of the past. The hottest trends in Bridesmaids include Tea-Length gowns or allowing your maids to choose from a selection of your favorite gowns. This way you get the color and gown you want, and they get the shape of gown that they feel the most flattered and comfortable in. You should definitely listen to your bridesmaids, but at the same time don't lose sight of your overall picture.

What daily practice may help American Christians become more concerned about issues of poverty, conservation and civil liberties?
Reading the Bible, according to the news website Black Christian News.
The answer may come as a surprise to those locked into viewing religious practices in ideological boxes. However, a new study by Baylor University researcher Aaron Franzen found frequent Bible reading predicted greater support for issues ranging from the compatibility of science and religion to more humane treatment of criminals.
The study, one of the first to examine the social consequences of reading Scripture, reveals the effects of Bible reading appear to transcend conservative-liberal boundaries.
Thus, even as opposition to same-sex marriage and legalized abortion tends to increase with more time spent with the Bible, so does the number of people who say it is important to actively seek social and economic justice, Franzen found.It was not just liberal Christians who found their attitudes changing.
In many cases, even those who believe the Bible is literally true but rarely read the book found themselves at odds with their evangelical sisters and brothers who regularly read the holy text.
"Usually, the literalists tend to read the most frequently, but increased reading over time would moderate their conservatism," Franzen said the study indicated.
Franzen speculates the reason so little research has been done on the effects of reading Scripture may be because "the ubiquity of references to the Bible promotes the idea that we all know what it says and, consequently, reading it is simply a habitual and ultimately meaningless activity.

I started out watching the Pokémon anime at a very young age, and I loved it. I believe I started watching the anime around the end of the original series, as I have a faint memory of Misty traveling with Ash. My favorite series was the Advanced Generation series. I loved the group of four. I stopped watching the anime after the ninth season started, because I didn't have Cartoon Network on my TV. My days as a Pokémon fan seemed to be over.
Then came one day in late August 2010, when I was extremely bored and had nothing to do. Now when I'm bored, amazing things happen. I ended up watching some of the first Pokémon episodes and my love for Pokémon was revived. I started doing a whole bunch of research on Pokémon. I found out that there were Pokémon games. In the course of about a month, I had watched every single episode that had aired, including the banned ones. Nowadays I'm still watching the anime and I'm playing the games as well.
While I watched the old Pokémon episodes, my sister discovered Bulbapedia. I used the website for Pokémon information. I lurked Bulbapedia for a while, before joining on October 23, 2010. At first, I didn't understand how to edit. I knew nothing about wikicode! I learned over time by reading everything in the Bulbapedia policies. About two months after joining, I made my first edit. I started to become much more active in February 2011. On March 5, 2011, I became a temporary Junior Administrator to help out with Black and White, but on April 30, 2011, I was officially made a member of the staff. Then on December 14, 2011, I was promoted to an Administrator rank. I'm also a Senior Administrator over on the Bulbagarden Archives. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
I am a 20-year-old high school girl that lives in wonderful New York City. I can be considered as a neat and organized person, and some may say that I have OCD. I am generally a nice and patient person, so don't be afraid to ask me any questions regarding helping Bulbapedia to be more complete. I'm always watching and available if needed. For more about me that I'm too lazy to type out, see my usertags.
Here's how to contact me from fastest reply to slowest. The best time to contact me is from 21:00 to 24:00 UTC on weekdays, and from 15:00 to 22:00 UTC on weekends.

JASON Owen wants to become Australia's next Shannon Noll.
The 18-year-old is part way to achieving his goal after landing in The X Factor Top 5.
Owen, from Albert in country New South Wales, has undergone a radical transformation since he auditioned for the Channel 7 talent show.
He has shed 15kg in weight, discovered a whole new rocker-style wardrobe, and chopped the locks.
Owen's music has changed too. He performed John Denver's daggy Annie's Song for his X Factor audition.
This week Owen rolled out a monster version of Hoodoo Gurus classic What's My Scene.
Now Owen has Noll in his sights.
Noll has racked up a swag of country-tinged rock hits including What About Me since he was runner-up to Guy Sebastian on Australian Idol in 2003.
Noll's first two albums, That's What I'm Talking About and Lift, went platinum.
"Shannon grew up about 60kms from where I live," Owen says.
"I'm falling into that (Shannon Noll) category - rock and roll and a bit of love songs.
"He got second on Australian Idol and I've got fifth, at worst, on The X Factor.
"It is definitely that kind of thing that's happening."
Owen is happy to be ditching John Denver for a more contemporary music direction.
"I know I can rock and roll," he says.
"Since I've been on the show I've gone a bit more modern."
Mentor Mel B reckons Owen has the talent to do a Shannon Noll and go to the top of the charts.
"Jason is such a nice, humble Aussie guy with the right attitude and he is really growing in confidence," the former Spice Girl says.
"He's got a great voice which is different and unique to what else is out there."
