It compiles!
With Alan's help managed to compile the 5139 tree under Eclipse. First thing after you download the last svn source is to download Jennic's "JN-RD-6004 Wireless" example and extract the Audiolib_JN5139R1.a file and copy it into ./rc24/rx24/source/
After that just import project & compile & download & solder & fly.
Thanks Alan
New Jennic Modules
I just noticed that Jennic have announced a new wireless processor JN5168 and modules. The modules are slightly smaller and will require pcb redesign I haven't found any for sale yet but when I do I'll give them a go. The processor is interesting as it is smaller and has built in flash so a much smaller rx should be possible if a custom board were made. There are also 5 hardware pwm outputs which has got me thinking about a board with 4 brushed motor outputs and gyro/accelerometer for a micro quadcopter
I have finally uploaded code to allow scripts to be run on either the receiver or the pc. On the receiver the script is run just before the servo outputs are sent, it could be used for all sorts of things. The script has access to any variables marked as 'routed' i.e. anything you can see from the pc interface can be scripted. Script on the pc can access the tx, rx and any sensors connected.
This video shows crude script running on the pc making the bottom half of a robot walk.
I have also added code to access a mpu6050 gyro over i2c on the receiver.

Some notes on rc24 scripting in lieu of proper documentation
The same script can be run on the pc or receiver and eventually the transmitter.
On the rx it can be used for things like flight stabilization or turning a speed command from the tx into synchronised moves of a robots leg joints.
num main(TX tx, RX rx,IMU imu,Pilot pilot)
// limit servo output of channel 1
RX.setMixedDemands(1,limit(RX.getDemands(1),1000,3 000))
On the tx it will be used for mixing and doing stuff with telemetry data, e.g. making a variometer sound.
On the pc ( and hopefully,eventually, smart phone or raspberry pi ) It can do things like control the movement of a connected model or log sensor data.
The scripting language is compiled to byte code which then runs on a simple virtual machine.
It was done this way because on the tx or rx the script will be run repeatedly with limited resources so it makes sense to parse the script just once.
The script can be downloaded over the radio link or through a serial link, so in flight updating is possible if you are mad enough.
The virtual machine is designed to be small and fast and could be implemented easily on pretty much any 32bit c platform and probably on lower bit width devices with some effort.
I guess it would run easily on a DEVO tx.
The parser and compiler are small enough that compilation on the rx or tx should be possible if ported to c, they currently only exist in c# and java.
I'm not sure how useful this would be, but there is some attraction in storing source code where it is used so you could always edit whatever you left on the tx or rx 3 years before.
The basic syntax is rather like c,c#,java or javascript but with no semicolons at the end of statements.
I've tried to make a simple clean syntax whilst keeping the basics familiar.
Variables don't need to be pre declared and their type is inferred from their first use.
There are no control structures such as for loops or if statements, these are all replaced by allowing functions to accept blocks of code as parameters e.g.
int a=20;
is achieved by
parameters are optionally named, so if you prefer you can write
while(test: a>10,
curly brackets {} are only used to define the body of a function.
functions can be defined to accept blocks of code, so new control structures ( closures ) can easily be created.
while, if,ifelse and for are just functions defined by default.
currently the only variable types supported are:-
num - a 32bit integer ( will probably rename to 'int')
code - a block of code with access to the variables of the function that it is defined in.
external routed objects - eg RX TX IMU Pilot
Priorities on the type wish list are a fast float library and strings and then some sort of local object or struct type.
External objects are currently passed to the script through the main function
num main(TX tx, RX rx,IMU imu,Pilot pilot)
The properties of each of these objects are discovered at compile time by interrogating whatever is connected to the serial port.
This means that if you add extra exposed variables to the rx or tx bin files, they will be available in the script.
The compiler knows nothing special about the tx and rx, if you connect something else that uses the same protocol, it can be controlled from script.
Passing these external objects to the main function as parameters is a bit of a fix and means the have to be passed on to other sub functions that need them, the plan is to make them either global to the script or treat them as fields of the script object.
external object fields can be accessed with a dot and a get or set function
eg rx.setRXDemands(0,2000) sets the first element of the RXDemands array to 2000.
High on the todo list is to add array notation and remove the get set stuff so this will become
On the receiver the script is called every 20ms just before the servo outputs are set. At some point I want to add an option for faster servo frame rates.
The c virtual machine is fairly well optimised but a faster one is in the pipeline. If speed becomes an issue, calls to native c functions are easily added for complex operations.
On the PC the code is just run on demand. The virtual machine on the pc was originally written just to make testing easier, the fact that it can be used to control connected stuff was an unplanned bonus! It was written to mimic the c code, so it looks a bit odd in c#.
It could be made far faster but the coms is so slow in comparison that speed is not a issue, this might change if I add access to pc features such as graphics and sound.
It is proving to be a good learning tool as my 7 year old son seems ok with the syntax and the results of code changes can be seen almost instantaneously on hitting the go button. I do need to improve the error reporting from the compiler though.
You have been a busy boy
Memories of a long ago Q&D script I wrote for debugging, which became a feature of the laser once I'd got it working,
It was written to allow detailed checks of asm code by simulating the hardware while running the code in a propriety PC based MPU simulator, in pseudo real time, Then more uses appeared !
(Q&D == Quick and Dirty)
I've just uploaded some improvements to the scripting.
Array and property syntax now works so setting a channel value is now cleaner
string constants can be used and function overloading now works so
print(23) and print("hello") now works
I've added speech output on the pc ( at the demand of the project director, my son)
say("speed is")
The rx now has some extra properties
rx.frameCounter - can be used as a clock
eg. rx.RXMixedDemands[5]=abs(rx.frameCounter%80-40)*40
will scan a servo from side to side
rx.missedFrames contains how many frames ago data was received so can be used to do clever failsafe code
pilot.vars[0..39] is a array that can be used to store stuff between frames
Aaaha - WIBNI rules ok
When someone says Wouldn't It Be Nice If it did this that and/or t'other, think about the minimum system requirements of Windows, which grew out of a DIY dos for an little known cludge up on a failed pocket calculator chip ((((two 4040's glued together --> 8080)*2 -> 8086)*2 -> 486)*2 -> pentium ) ad nausium onwards and upwards but don't look down, it will make you dizzy.
Hi all,
I've finally got around to writing some quadcopter code to run on my receiver and it flies! I have used one of the six channel receivers with a jn5148 module and a mpu-6050 gyro/accelerometer breakout board plugged into the i2c bus which luckily is available on two of the servo connectors. I've modified the servo output code so it will work up to 400hz. The ability to set and view rx variables over the air from a pc connected to the tx has proved very useful for testing and tweaking.
I've not flown a quadcopter before so don't really know how well it works compared to others but it seems very easy to fly.
I've just ordered a mpu9150 and altimeter and intend to add gps. with the intention of making it fully autonomous.
Does anyone have one of Graham's 8 channel pcbs as that should allow me to connect a serial gps, my six channel board has run out of connectors!
Google Code repository?
Hi Alan,
I have with excitement been following this project for about four years, but actually just recently tried putting it together! I made new PCB designs in KiCAD, based on some of the contributors drawings, and I am very happy to say that I got it working pretty painlessly.
Looking forward to playing with the modules trough the summer.
I read your most recent post, and the update sounds great, but when I checked the change history over at Google Code there is no changes made to the source since May 19, 2013.., my SVN client tells me the same thing.
Have I misunderstood something, or has your recent updates not gone through to the repository?
Also, do you think 400hz pwm would be fast enough to drive a DC motor smoothly trough a mosfet (by changeing the code so that it does not send servo signals, of course)? I made 10 boards with mosfets on dio06 and dio07 before I discovered that it was only on two dedicated pwm pins (10 and 13 I think it was?) that you originaly could do that. I guess I will have to give it a try when I get my hands on the new source code!
I did not make any 8ch boards, so I can not help you out with that, unfortunately.
Hi Kristoffer,
it's good to hear from people working on this. What features do your pcbs have?
You are right, I have been bad about putting up updates on the code project recently, in getting the faster servo pwm and quadcopter stuff going I have stopped the standard speed stuff working, I wanted to fix that before posting it, I'll try and get something posted soon.
The 5148 modules have 3 hardware pwm out puts and the 5168 has 4. The faster servo code might work for rough motor control but at minimum output the signal is still on for about 50% of the time. In the past I did have a plan to try and do faster software pwm for motor control but the 5168 hardware option killed the motivation. In someways fast motor pwm is easier than servo pwm as jitter does not matter as much i.e. the duty cycle can change cycle to cycle as long as on average it is stable. As long as you can measure the jitter you can correct it on the next cycle.
Thanks for your answer,
I realised that it would be too difficult for me to integrate a full 0-100% pwm for the motors into the servo control code (I am not very experienced).
What I now have (with the 50hz servos system still working) is another motor pwm routine using timer0 and software interrupt and a counter to do some pwm magic. I have only tested with two motors so far, but since I made the function similar to the servo function, it can control as many motors as you like (well, MAX_MOTORS = 12 at the moment).
I have not tested it extensively yet, so I can not say for certain if the function I made will introduce servo jitter. I can imagine that if it controls a lot of motors, the interrupt routine takes longer to finish, and that can f something up(or does the servo interrupt have higher priority [can you interrupt an interrupt routine with a higher priority one?])...
I think a separate and scalable software pwm for motors makes sense, as two(or four) pins is not really enough for advanced ground based stuff, like a small tank that has many bi-directional motors. I can send you the code, it will probably give you a good laugh!
The pcb i made is basically a two mosfet and four servo set-up, but I did not really study the datasheet much before I made it, so one of the servo outputs does not work.
Also I made a breakout with reset/prog.mode switches and power regulator.
Hi All,
I have just posted a new version of the code on the google code project. It is rather in a state of flux, but I had set myself a dead line to put something up before my summer hols. It has better support for the jn5168 as a receiver. The servo frame rate can be set to 20,10,5 or 2.5ms, basic quadcopter control is there and can be enabled by editing pilot.c(use at your own risk!)
Now I have unbroken the non quadracopter mode I shall try and get back in the habit of posting code more often. I'm tempted to move the code to Github.

President Obama this afternoon will nominate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as his next secretary of state, The Washington Examiner confirmed.
The move was widely expected after U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice dropped out of the running to become the nation's top diplomat. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has planned to step down soon after Obama's inauguration.
Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is expected to cruise through the confirmation process.

There are some things that you can't compromise on
Like many happily married men, I am sometimes given the grocery list by the Lovely Doreen from Waukesha. My wife trusts me because she knows I will stand in the aisle for ten minutes figuring out the best price for an item. Is the generic cheaper? What about the Roundys brand? What size gives me the best value?
I have learned there are limits. Generic cola is not the same as Coca-Cola. Generic peanut butter tastes like sand paper. And speaking of sand paper:
The issue over tissue in the bathroom — the really super-soft stuff — is more like the fight about the big SUVs loved by many Americans.
Anti-green, according to environmentalists. Politically incorrect. Why should Americans use luxurious toilet paper made from old-growth trees when much of the world gets by with a far more basic and often recycled product?
Why should we flush redwoods, so to speak?
So Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmental groups have pushed manufacturers such as Kimberly-Clark (Cottonelle) and Procter & Gamble (Charmin) to stop using wood from virgin forests to make tissue products.
Mountains of paper are dumped every day into recycling bins in homes, offices, factories and schools. Use that to make toilet paper, the activists said.
Time to roll off the big number: If each American family would buy one recycled roll just one time, it would save 400,000 trees, allegedly.
The problem, though, is that each time paper is shredded during the recycling process, its fibers get shorter. The shorter the fiber, the less soft the tissue. And Americans, though indicating in surveys that they embraced green initiatives, also said they don't want to sacrifice comfort.
"The truth is that other parts of the world are further along in using recycled content," said Kay Jackson, spokeswoman for Kimberly-Clark. "The American consumer still wants softness, and they are speaking with their pocketbooks."
I dare the environmentalists to come after our toilet paper. I guarantee there will be counter-demonstrations in the streets. The 1960s demonstrations burned their draft cards. We'll have bonfires of toilet paper made from recycled paper.
And if you think I'm kidding, remember New Coke?

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by TennisMaverick, Oct 22, 2011.
jackie---there is no need for that. u and agent citrus should play doubles together.
The review of the Orgamix V1 MP really has me interested. Too bad it's brown. But I can definitely see a demo in my future.
And the review from here seems quite favorable. My only concern is the light weight, but it sounds very favorable.
Actually, it's espresso.
I can't recall such a high score for any other racquet in its class.
Jack, may I ask the purpose of writing ur comment and please describe how it contributes to this thread?
as you've mentioned before, everyone is entitled to their opinions. if we don't agree, we should just ignore their opinion.
besides why talk negatively when someone has been banned? this gives the other person no chance to respond. no fun in that, right?
Someone mentioned this thread being "dead" and I explained why. I just answered the posters question.
I think you're creating an alternate reality, Jackson. I'm looking for the poster's question you "just answered" and I see no such thing.
Icarus did not ask a question as such, but he raised something that perplexed him and the explanation given was reasonable.
The reality is that 'the banned one' has gotten around the ban by talking through proxies so people need to address this fact.
No, he didn't "ask a question as such". He didn't ask a question at all. Neither was he "perplexed" nor, for that matter, nonplussed, baffled, befuddled, bewildered or otherwise bemused. No "explanation" was necessary nor was it intended. Rather, you guys are just building platforms from which to attack a long banned poster. Next time you post, do a better job of choosing your words so you don't have to keep going back and explain your childish snipes.
I'm not going to pretend that the integrity of the forum is in peril because coolblue posts, "Here's what so-and-so said about the new Becker racquet".
Time to grow up, boys.
He described it as unfortunate without further explanation.
The 'banned one' suffered a self-imposed misfortune.
And now he employs his friends to circumvent his misfortune.
Its not my forum, but it should be pointed out to those too immature to acknowledge the source of his misfortune.
dParis, we should just stop replying to these folks. Some folks are just instigators and adds no value to threads.
Volkl users sure are a touchy bunch, aren't they?
So got my back up racquet since i was breaking string to frequently and my elbow/shoulder is getting better. I chose a Volkl X10 325 since i missed that over 12oz players spec. Strung with pacific bull gut at a tension of 48lbs. Biting power,great comfort and super control with all the spin your strokes can muster. Good power on my serve ,super placement and effortless kick serves. For elbow sufferers the stability of this frame is superb and all in a easy swing weight WITH NO BAD VIBES reaching your arm. Great players stick and once again Volkl has knocked it out of the park. Now if i can get a doubles match starring jackie and agent citrus against bartelbaby and torres. You get my drift ,or am I'm i being obtuse.
LONDON - X10 325 comparison
For those that need a comparison heres the 411 based on a 53 year old player with elbow/shoulder issues 4.5 player who hits hard with a flat/roll type swing.my london has a attiva grip lead tape at 5/7 and in the handle i string at 53m 50 c with gut or a good multi with over grip and dampener 12oz. my newly acquired X10 325 is strung with pacific bull fibre gut at 48lbs.
spin--slight edge to london
volleys/half volleys--x10
sweet spot--tie,both large
with my elbow/shoulder feeling better its nice to have a back up racquet(string breaker) now.--notes--x10 strings very tight and might be a string breaker and the frame itself is somewhat firm. Love the heft of a 12oz stick thats easy to swing. going to change the grip also.
I agree, VB, that the X-325 has the edge in every category that really matters to me, and that says a lot because the London weighted similarly is a phenomenal frame. I, like you, prefer around a 12oz. frame that swings easily and is very precise and stable. I decided to give the IG Prestige MP a go because it's just as stable, imo, and swings a little easier for me, but this X-325 is still on my radar, along with a few others if it doesn't work out, and of course, the Londons are still in the bag and not going anywhere, at least not yet.
Just strung my pb10 mid 46m/43c full poly and I'm liking it. I'll try 40/37 next as recommended. I know one of the tw testers was running 35 lbs with their pb10s and liking it so I'll try that after.
Anybody here with the x10 stringing at low tensions with full poly? Maybe 35lbs or lower? Currently x1 50 m/ iontec 48 c. Just okay setup for me....
I'd be interested to hear about your experience with the low tension poly. I currently have my X10 325 at 40/38 with NRG2 and it's very comfortable for me but still lacks feel. For my next string job, I'll probably go with a full poly at 35/33 to see how it plays.
Last night I played for the first time with my Becker Legend with Black Code 18 at 35/33 (previously strung at 55 with a multi). Comfortable, fabulous feel and very good spin generation. For me it definitely performs better with low tension poly than a multi at mid-range tension. This setup makes the Legend the "spinniest" of my three rackets.
My PB10 Mid is strung at 33/30 wit Black Code 18 so as you can see I have a preference for low tension poly.
Well...an hour after i made my post, I went out to hit and lo and behold, when I took out my x10, the x1 string had broken in my bag. Talk about wishful thinking.
I think I'll try 35/33 as per your suggestion. I'm out of msv focus hex so I'll use cyclone in the meantime...
I to am going to go lower tension on my X10 325. Have 48lbs. now with gut and with the stiffer hoop im going to try a 50/50 string job at 47/44 when my current string breaks(with a multi this time).
Currently running a variety of setups between my 10's as I have no clear fave as yet. I have been dropping the tension of slowly and I have found 52lb for a Savage/PSGD hybrid & 50/48 full Alu set up the sweet spot so far.
I've got natural gut at 54/51 and it feels tight. Seems crazy but this frame just feels so tight unless it is strung VERY low.
back from cali/arz.vacation-beautiful part of the usa. string lower and do the 50/50 stringing pattern. this frame loves lower tensions with no loss of control.
I got a good 20+ hours out of that low-tension gut stringjob, which shocked me. It was a loose cannon to be sure, but if I made myself hit with long, languid, fluid strokes it played pretty sweet. Actually, being forced to hit this way helped improve my one-hander. Great for serving!!! Volleys and returns not so much. Almost unplayable for doubles, but more than passable as a singles setup, and good for hitting practice.
Am now using Mamba multifibre @ 55/52 on a DW stringer. Love it! Really precise directional control, and fabulous for running groundstrokes and reflex volleys. Does everything very, very well. I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but what impresses me most about this racket is its stability. I'm able to return big serves and accurately hit hail mary shots that I am unable to hit with any other racket. Serves great to boot, which I was worried about when I shifted away from low-tension gut.
I'll likely given gut mains/poly crosses a go at some point in the future, but I have trouble imagining any arm-friendly setup playing better in this great racket than these current strings.
TM's advice is spot on. If you want to soften the string bed on your ox10 do the 50/50 string pattern drop and the crosses 2-4lbs less than the mains. iso speed axon multi feels really good in this frame btw.did mine at 49m-46c and really feels great.
Tried the demo for this racket along with the vcore line. Real nice racket to hit with. The demo racket from tw comes with a poly and it's great. Definitely recommend others to try it.
Yonex are making better racquets in that weight class, see other threads for details.
Lol, bartelbly, what are you, the Yonex TM?
Yonex is the new Volkl, and I've a yen for them!
fair enough!
Yonex and Volkl are the only companies to produce rackets I've really liked. It's a win - win
Bartelby is the TT reincarnation of Buckethead.
God forbid!
I would never have heard of that musician if it weren't for Buckethead, but I can't say I'm enamoured.
Been playing with the x10 for a couple of weeks......after a happy time with my dnx10 mids and a short daliance with the Yonex 89t Im back with volkl again and have been playing well with my c10 pros, which feel like like the big brother of the dnx10mid i was using last year, much closer in feel than the Melbourne or Legend.
My x10 has been modded with 9g at 10/12/2 and the same at the top of the handle. Weighs in around 356g/5pts hl and 360ish SW.
I never really picked up the x10 thinking its mutedness would remind me of the pb10mid which was good but never in the same league as my crisper dnx mids imo. Anyways got the chance to pick one of these up, strung with rpm 1.30, quite a tight stringbed as many have said but straight from the off had no problems, the racket performed excellently in all areas. Directional control from the stiff hoop reminded me of my 95d, manouverabilty was good but not c10 good with its thin beam, so I struggled slightly on reaction volleys being more static at the net in doubles, however coming onto the ball at the net, this thing performed better than anything Ive used before, Im never that consistently clinical.
My c10's are heavier yet swing easier, I feel like I caress the ball with the c10, angles, short, deep, it has a diversity of shot which can sometimes get me into trouble, whereas the x10 says hit me......
Ive just restrung with tour bite at 50lbs and going out today. Ive noticed reading the thread about players complaints of string sensitivity but I havent found this with a full poly set up.
Anyone still using this stick?
Sorry to be dense, Meaghan, but are you asking about the X10 or the C10? I know it's an OX10-325 thread, but you were talking about both in your post.
If you're asking about the C10, my wife has been using two since 2003 or so...and she'll hit the half century mark in January.
She's been tempted to try / move to something a bit lighter, but she's still mighty comfortable with the C10 Pro.
Funny as I have never found a Yonex I can play with. Have tried RD7, RDIS 200 and now Xi100 and none of them play as well as what I usually play with. Not sure if the head shape agrees with me.
He's got both and by the tone of the post struggling to decide which one he likes best!
I think you know this already, but on that ball that your opponent hits short and you want to step in and hit the gas, the C-10 Pro will still need to be caressed and will probably not produce the quality of ball that you're expecting to blast through your opponent. I'm sure there are some who could hit through anyone with a C-10 Pro, but I couldn't. I learned the hard way, losing a very frustrating match to a classic pusher with the C-10, hitting better quality shots all night, but without having given him a bit of trouble when the ash settled. The C-10 Pro is an amazing frame, but I personally, and this could just be me, hit a better quality ball with my modified Londons than the C-10. The evidence is in the other court, but that's just me.
My dilemma is that my frames are discontinued, and who knows how this whole Volkl/BB debacle will turn out. I don't know that I have much faith in BB offerings and availability in the future, so I might have to look at Volkl's offerings, and besides the C-10 Pro, I would probably only consider the X-10 325. I hit an "older" demo and loved it, but I also hit a newer X-10 and didn't like it as much. I think for me that if I could adjust to the newer "feel" and response of the frame enough for it to flex out a bit, I would be very happy---all the while knowing that I would prefer a more traditional offering, with a sprinkling of modern technology. I think you're going to get along best with the X-10 in the long run. Best of luck.
Im referring to the x10.....the c10 was me looking for a dnx10mid in a 98" form, trying the melbourne first, liking it but it wasnt as good as the Legend and then the c10 pro, which is wher I am untill organix turned up (a year late!)
Thing is P1 the c10's are leaded up around 370g with 10g in the upper hoop, so no I havent found any problems hitting thro opponents, I think it boils down to a feel thing.
Saying all that just got back from a good hit. My partner didnt play his usual best but I certainly did.......I asked in another thread whether it was a lethal combination the x10 and Tour Bite @ 50lbs and well bloody hell yes, angles easier like the c10, directional control like the vc95, Head like grip, Volkl (ish) feel, volleys real well and serves a dream, after that the c10 may have bitten the dust, that combination of racket, string, mods and balance is a step above anything else Ive played with.......
From what I understand, the C-10 is best utilized as a platform frame to get to 12.5-13oz.+ At that weight, many say it is a real weapon. It sits at my upper threshold stock, so I was forced to hit it at that weight/balance, without being able to "feel" the hoop weight that I like.
Back to the X-10, I compared it to the Melbourne, and surprisingly, I just couldn't bond with the Melly and much preferred the X-10, but the demo was flexed out a bit to my liking. A full multi at low tension and a few grams of hoop weight to get the balance to 5-6 pts. hl, and I might would have something in the X-10. I might hold out for a bit to see what, if anything, BB might offer, but as I stated earlier, the X-10 is really my only legitimate option with Volkl at this point. Enjoy your X-10, as the verdict seems rather clear!
P1 its good to hear from u again--loving my x10 325 strung with a very soft vollmer bbecker string at 44lbs--plays like a dream at that tension.
I loved the racket except I had a noticeable lack of power on the serve, otherwise it would be my racket because it is amazing everywhere else.
Well, I must give credit to Meaghan for hooking me up to his setup, AGAIN.
I have a few pb10 mids which was just playing ok until I used his mod (lead at 10/12/2) which elevated the performance of the racquets. 360g.
I had just about given up on the x10, trying low tension poly as well as guy/poly. It was ok but it just didn't play as well as the modded pb10s. So when i read his post, I said why not try it. 6g at 10/12/2 and some lead at handle. 360g. Gut/poly 51/46.
What a difference! My first serves were hitting the fence on one bounce without too much effort. Couldn't consistently do that with the pb10s. Topspin second serves had more height and consistency. 2hbh felt better. Overall, I felt I could play more aggressively with this racquet and my game has improved because of this mod. Might be looking for a 2nd x10 soon.
Thanks again, Meaghan!
I think the modification is less important on the x10 than on the pb10 mid however if you are used to that SW then its a must. Still very happy with this stick, it gives me much more options than the mid especially defensively. Good stuff goosie let us know how it goes.
comfort just to good to pass up
the stability and ease of which it swings allows you to feel confident hitting an shot. i have the sorbathane grip system on mine with a attiva x s pallet with over grip and dampener right at 13oz's. great control and when strung with gut at 42lbs u get that cupping action. great great racquet that VOLKL X10 325
Santa Claus has just come early. Hit for the first time yesterday with my new x 10 325 and all I can say is wow. Switched from Babolat PDR and all early indications are positive. have the x10 strung at 52lbs with cyclone in the mains and Wilson Sensation in the crosses. This setup was recommended by the shop. All my groundstrokes seem better, volleys noticably so, the only thing I've yet to do is serve but that was fine during the demo. Regarding the grip it seems a little hard to get around to a semi western but I'm sure given time I'll adapt. All in all I'm delighted, the feel and solidity of the racket is incredible.
A very happy Volkl Virgin.
Just an FYI. Both my X10s cracked at the throat and became unplayable. Volkl took so long dealing with it that I ended up switching to Head.
Bummer. Anyone else experience this? I was going to give this frame a try but this is certainly discouraging...
first i have heard--no problems with mine

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Does an agreement of a partner not to "assign, mortgage or sell" his share of the partnership include transfers by will or intestacy?
3 Answers from Attorneys
You really need to look at all terms of the partnership agreement. Are there provisions dictating a right to purchase at death? Is there any other indication of how this would operate? If there is no guidance in other terms, I would normally expect that a transfer at death woud be covered. While death is not usually voluntary, it does result in a transfer of the interest. This gratuitous response does not create an attorney client relationship. The advice provided herein is generic, may not apply to your circumstances and is not to be relied upon in your actions. An attorney client relationship is created only upon execution of an engagement letter hiring me or my firm.
Most partnerships cease at death....so you rally do need to look at te agreement
If there are no provisions for survival of the partnership and either substitution of heirs or a buy-out provision, the partnership ceases to exist upon the death of the partner and the heirs of the deceased partner are entitled to the deceased partner's share of the net assets of the partnership, which often has to be decided by a court. So the business ceases and there is nothing to assign, mortgage or sell - just the remains of the business to be divided up. In short it is really pretty much a disaster when a partnership agreement has no provisions for dealing with the death of a partner. If you have such a provision, you REALLY need to get the agreement to a good business lawyer and have it re-written.

The Okanagan grape harvest in B.C., Canada is in full swing, and many wineries are currently harvesting grapes destined for sparkling wine, in addition to white varieties such as Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Early reports suggest that 2013 will be an excellent vintage with great quality potential.
"2013 promises to be a great vintage at the winery. Lots of spring rain paired with hot days and cool nights made for ideal growing conditions, so we are two weeks ahead of schedule. The grapes taste phenomenal right now. It will be a solid year for Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, our two estate whites. The reds are coming along well, but we'll need some dry weather coming into October. It should be an early year for everything, and we're looking forward to the spring, where customers can enjoy the delicious fruits of our labor."

COMMENTING on reports that the Liberal Democrats plan to re-introduce "safe standing" areas at football grounds, Regional AM Andrew RT Davies has said that the time is right for a pilot scheme.
Leader of the Welsh Conservatives Mr Davies has led the campaign in Wales, securing cross-party support for a trial following a historic vote at the National Assembly for Wales in June.
Assembly Members voted 26 to one in favour of introducing a pilot scheme in Wales, something which would require consent from the Westminster Government.
Mr Davies recently wrote to the Sports Minister Helen Grant calling for UK Government consent to introduce a limited trial in Welsh football stadia.
"For several years now I have been leading calls for a limited trial of safe standing to be introduced here in Wales" said Mr Davies.
"We need to be absolutely satisfied that safety concerns can be overcome and the European experience suggests that modern stadium technologies make this possible.
"Ultimately this is also a question of equality. How can it be safe to stand at the rugby but not at football grounds?
"Football fans are unfairly stigmatised by a piece of legislation which was drafted in a different era, to address a different set of problems.
"Clearly fan safety has to be the top priority but the continental experience has shown that standing areas can be incorporated safely, dramatically improving the atmosphere at games.
"I believe that it's time for the UK Government to listen to the fans and to look at this issue again. I look forward to working proactively with colleagues from all sides of the National Assembly to take the discussion forward."

NAACP Rally to Support Suspected Voter Fraud Criminals
Over at Rule of Law, I have this posting about the response of the local and Florida state NAACP to the arrest of ten people for running an absentee ballot fraud scheme. One of the women arrested is Jada Wood Williams, the Supervisor of Elections in Madison County, Florida. Yes, you read that correctly. The person who is in charge of ensuring the integrity of elections was arrested for participating in an absentee ballot voter fraud scheme. Who was she allegedly helping? Why none other than Abra Johnson, an elected member of the Madison County School Board. The people running elections and responsible for educating children in one Florida county stand accused of manipulating elections along with eight conspirators.
And what is the reaction of the NAACP? As I discuss in the post (and have video), they held a rally that became a disgusting misappropriation of the hymns and messages of the civil rights movement. And it isn't the first time this has happened. Similar rallies occurred in Alabama after similar voter fraud arrests (which eventually led to guilty pleas).
Voter fraud deniers have become the intellectual smokescreen to criminal wrongdoing across the country. When you hear people like Justin Levitt or Tova Wang say "voter fraud isn't that widespread," what they are really saying is "ignore the voter fraud that nobody disputes exists."

Town manager contract renewedResident opposes pole placement
Union — The Union Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to renew Jay Feyler's contract as town manager for an additional five years at its meeting Feb. 19.
Selectman Greg Grotton motioned to renew Feyler's contract — which expires January 2015 — and increase his base rate by 5 percent for the first two years, with salary negotiations after that. Feyler is compensated $55,140.
"We are way low compared to other town managers," noted Selectman Jim Justice. "If we lost him it would cost us an additional $25,000 to replace him."
Other town managers in the area are paid between $66,000 and $101,000.
Selectman Lyle Cramer added that Feyler's diligent management style has saved the town more than $500,000 between audit preparation, readjusting staff hours and salaries, and instituting the use of chip sealing on some of the town roads.
"We are lucky to have him here," said Cramer.
Feyler has been town manager of Union since August 2009.
In other action, Jean Grimord voiced opposition to the proposed placement of a fiber optics pole at the front of her Clarry Hill Road residence. Tidewater Telecom received approval by the selectmen for the pole, which is necessary due to a low hanging cable there.
Chairman Elmer "Bud" Savage said it is not at the town's discretion as to where the pole is placed and recommended Grimord contact Tidewater to see if they have some flexibility.
The motion to approve the pole was approved unanimously, with a notation made that should the company agree to adjust its placement they would not need further approval.
The board also decided to set a deadline for the Thompson Community Center to install a fire alarm at the facility.
"It has been four years since it was first proposed," said Feyler. "Now we need to set a deadline."
The motion was passed unanimously to give the center six months to complete the task.
Informational meeting
The annual informational meeting will be held Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 6:30 p.m. at the town office.
This is an opportunity for residents to ask questions regarding town business. The board of selectmen, department heads and town manager will be on hand. Feyler will present a brief overview of the town's budget during the meeting.
The ambulance and fire departments will be serving hot dogs and goodies for a minimal fee.
All residents are encouraged to attend.

I am a committed single speeder and have been for about 2 years...
I have four bikes all SS (2 x mtb, 1 x c/cross and 1 x road bike).
None have suspension either
I do live in a very hilly part of the south east (yes we do have hills odwn here) on the north downs in kent.
I noticed when I go out with the local MTB club that no gears and no suspension is limiting me a little (they have full bounce geared bikes). They have to make a few accomodations for me although I am brave and chuck my fully rigid cindercone off most hills!
I have been out with friends and I need to question them closely to as to route terrain and hills to decide which bike to take!
My strength has improved with the SS and I am concerned if I go back to gears I will lose this
Do I keep the faith or relent and give in and go for the gears (and the suspension)?

Art and science merge in exhibit at Castellani Art Museum
LEWISTON – Artist Byron Rich mixes art and science in a new exhibit set to begin with an opening reception from 2 to 4 p.m. next Sunday in Castellani Art Museum, on the campus of Niagara University. The exhibit continues through Feb. 8.
Rich describes his work as multi-disciplinary – embracing scientific amateurism and critical analysis of societal trends.
His exhibit, "Protista Imperialis v2.1" is the second of a series that began in 2011.
The work is designed to use human interaction. A computer monitors Twitter and Instagram in real time for #climatechange. For each use of the hashtag, the projected image of the ocean encroaches into the continents. A webcam hanging over a bioreactor provides a live view of the algae that defines the color of continents and enhances ocean color in the projections. A mic monitors activity around the piece and the LED array surrounding the algal growth is triggered with human interaction. Without the presence of the viewer the algae is not provided with the necessary light source.
Ultimately, the work is designed to encourage dialogue surrounding increasingly digitized interpersonal interactions and to learn whether it can be an agent for positive environmental awareness.
The artist is a native of Calgary, Alberta, and graduated from the University of Calgary with a bachelor of fine arts degree in new media and photography. Rich also earned a master's degree in fine arts in emerging practices from the University at Buffalo. He is currently an assistant professor of digital art and painting at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa.

Research Projects
Project at a Glance
Project Status: complete
Title: Sources of visibility degradation in the Lake Tahoe Air Basin
Principal Investigator / Author(s): Cahill, Thomas A.
Contractor: Crocker Nuclear Laboratory, UC Davis
Contract Number: A-5-005-87
Research Program Area: Atmospheric Processes
Topic Areas: Lake Tahoe Study
Air quality in the Lake Tahoe region has been a concern for a number of years. This study was designed to examine some of the sources of the air pollution in the Lake Tahoe basin. The first step was an evaluation of the Air Resources Board sampling of 1973. From this data the local contribution of different gas and particulate pollutants was postulated. A sampling station was then established at South Lake Tahoe and particulates in three size regions were collected and analyzed for elemental content. To determine if the data from this station were representative of the basin, a profile of Lake Tahoe was developed. It was determined that the concentrations of the major elements were quite different from site to site. It was also found that the most polluted site was South Lake Tahoe. A spatial profile in South Lake Tahoe was then conducted to determine the sources in this region. It was possible to identify automotive traffic as one source in the area. The origin of the sulfur aerosols was not identified.
For questions regarding this research project, including available data and progress status, contact: Heather Choi at (916) 322-3893

Traumatic experiences may harm more than just the victim. A new study from the University of Notre Dame shows that traumatized moms who experienced abuse or neglect in their youth have difficulty talking to their kids about emotional experiences. And that, in turn, sets the kids up for stunted development and perpetuated problems.
Kristin Valentino, an assistant professor of psychology at Notre Dame, wanted to look at how a history of trauma in mothers affects parenting abilities. She studied a sample of low-income mothers with a documented history of childhood trauma and an ongoing pattern of "traumatic avoidance." That refers to an unwillingness to address painful thoughts, memories, or emotions related to the original trauma.
Valentino noted that moms with past trauma resorted to shorter, shallower discussions with their kids in order to avoid painful feelings. They also tended to use close-ended questions that discourage child participation. All this can lead to problems in the child's cognitive and emotional development.
These findings may be important for therapists and social workers, because avoidance is sometimes used as a coping mechanism for traumatized moms during treatment. But it may cause problems later and damage psychological functioning, Valentino warned, especially when it comes to the parent-child relationship.
I certainly don't have this type of horrible trauma in my past, but I can see the logic of these findings. They may hold true even for less traumatic situations that have psychological implications.
For example, much of my adolescence and early adulthood was marred by a dangerous eating disorder. To this day, I can see remnants of those tendencies in my behavior. I struggle to address those emotions and memories, and I live in constant fear of messing my kids up in any aspect of eating. Am I putting too much pressure on my kids to eat enough? Am I helping them understand the big picture of a healthy diet? Do they see me setting a good example of healthy eating? Is today the day I unknowingly sow the seeds of a future eating disorder? The thoughts haunt me daily.
Mine isn't physical trauma or emotional abuse, but I totally understand the idea of a mother's past affecting her ability to interact with kids. I just hope my issues don't perpetuate to my babies. Not if I can help it.

Rivers was 8 for 10 and threw for 89-yards including that interception in one quarter of work. Backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst struggled behind the makeshift offensive line. He was only 5 of 15 for 63 yards.
The two first half turnovers resulted in touchdowns for San Francisco. The Niners backup quarterbacks played well. Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdown passes. So did Josh Johnson. In addition to the pair of touchdown passes the former USD quarterback rushed for 50-yards.
Defensively the Chargers had trouble stopping both the run and pass. The Niners rushed for over 150-yards and threw for upwards of 300-yards.
Friday all NFL teams must trim their roster from 75 players to 53. The Chargers have some very difficult decisions to make on both sides of the ball.

Song of the Day #1089
Song of the Day: It's a Wonderful Life ("Main Title") composed by Dmitri Tiomkin, is one of the most recognizable themes of all holiday movies. Though initially released to lukewarm reception, this 1946 Frank Capra film became a classic over the years as it was shown again and again on television especially around the holidays. It is one of my all-time favorite movies with a stupendous cast, led by Jimmy Stewart, whose character learns, through the lightness and darkness of his experiences, that his actions (like the actions of every individual) have ever-widening ripple effects on the people with whom he comes into contact (and even some people he'll never meet). And I love the Tiomkin score. You can watch the movie online on YouTube; check out the opening theme in the first minute or so.

As a long-time Ultima fan, I was quick to jump on the limited $25 tier. But if I'd actually been happy with anything Garriott has directly produced since Ultima VII part 2, I'd have gone in a lot higher. My contribution is the "I'll give you another chance" money.

From Bloomberg's BusinessWeek:
Can a company claim ownership of a phrase as commonplace as "best of?" Village Voice Media....would answer in the affirmative. The media company is claiming to have exclusive rights to the phrase in 10 such instances as "Best of Phoenix" and "Best of Twin Cities," and is now is suing Yelp for using these registered marks.
Even more ridiculous, sometimes the "we own 'Best-of" gambit works!:
This is not the first time VVM has taken legal action for these trademarks. In 2011 the company sued Time Out New York for its annual "Best of NYC." It settled the suit in April 2012, and Suskin claims Time Out New York will no longer publish the issue under that name.
There goes our "Best of Human Trafficking" issue...

LONDON, June 12 (UPI) -- Supplementary international mechanisms are needed to keep weapons out of the hands of unlawful armed groups in DRC, said Amnesty International.
U.N. humanitarian officials estimate that tens of thousands of civilians have been displaced by the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Amnesty International, in a 66-page report, said the transfer of weapons into "abusive hands" in the country highlights the need for an arms trade treaty that would strengthen the United Nations' arms embargo system.
The organization said that members of the U.N. Security Council typically impose an arms embargo once weapons are in use by militants.
"As such a U.N. arms embargo is often imposed too late to prevent serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law," the organization said.
Violence in DRC has intensified since rebel Gen. Bosco Ntaganda, wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, waged mutiny in April.
Amnesty International said countries-- ranging from China, Ukraine and the United States -- have supplied weapons to the DRC military, which become a source of arms for militant groups in the country.
"Past and current violations of international human rights and humanitarian law committed by all parties to the conflict have been sustained by the easy availability of arms, including ammunition," the organization said.

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
Shock! Horror! $1 coffees - and that's for medium coffees, the most popular size -are gone at Cafe Madrid!
Café Madrid is one of my favorite Coronado hangouts. Okay, it's a coffee cart. But, far as I know, it was the last one-buck chuck holdout of the coffee woild.
Café Madrid
Now it's $1.50.
Of course, you can still get $1 small. But that's never quite enough.
Luis Madrid, who has owned this coffee cart outside Bay Books in Coronado (1029 Orange Avenue) for 15-20 years, held out till everyone, including his coffee supplier Caffé Calabria, said "You're crazy!" And maybe space rent went up too.
Whatever, medium coffee's now $1.50, small's $1, the large, $2, and extra large, $2.50.
But Amy, who's running the cart today, has a solution.
Amy, the barista
She says your best bet is to get the $1.50 medium, and then buy a refill, which is still 50 cents. So, hey, two cups, average, $1 each. Who says you can't beat the system?
Anybody know any coffee cart with $1 coffees?
I've got a $1.50 coffee riding on this.
Cafe Bella, corner of Bacon & Voltaire, OB. But you gotta have your own cup - $1.50 medium, 50 cents off for keeping with the "reduce, reuse, recycle" vibe of the 'hood and coming prepared with a mug. Not sure if that counts or not...
Dave: Good point. Just asked Luis of Cafe Madrid and he says he does this too. Meaning you can get a dollar medium cawfee here, as long as you clank in with your own cup. So maybe the new cool is gonna be da mug dangling from your belt as you mosie down the street. I'd do it!

Congress has history of travel woes
Serving in Congress has its privileges, but avoiding the perils of modern air travel isn't one of them.
Just ask the three senators who are running for president.
Story Continued Below
Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) have both missed campaign events because of flight delays; when a radar problem grounded flights in September, Clinton phoned in a planned appearance at a union convention in Chicago from the tarmac of the airport in Little Rock, Ark.
Illinois Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's plane landed at the wrong Iowa airport in November and ran into another plane at Chicago's Midway International Airport in January.
They aren't alone. While the candidates spend more time on the road than most of their colleagues, members of Congress, especially those from the West, do a pretty good job of racking up the frequent flier miles themselves.
They've got the horror stories to prove it.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.)
The country's busiest airport is named in honor of his brother, but neither that, nor the fact that he is a sitting U.S. senator, could save Sen. Edward M. Kennedy from existential airport torment in March 2004.According to a story in The Washington Post, the senator was stopped five times in airports that month because his name had been placed on a Homeland Security no-fly list after a terrorist suspect had been found to be using the alias "T. Kennedy."
At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in August 2004, Kennedy described the Kafkaesque scene as an airline ticket counter agent told him he wouldn't be allowed to buy a ticket to Boston. "Well, why not?" Kennedy asked.
"We can't tell you," the agent replied.
See Also
Kennedy ultimately got on a flight, only to endure the same rigmarole when he tried to return to Washington. "I went up to the desk and said, 'I've been getting on this plane for 42 years. Why can't I get on the plane?'"
Kennedy got his name removed from the list and got an apology from then-Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, to boot.
It didn't matter. Shortly thereafter, a different airline agent tried to stop him.
Rep. Adrian Smith (R-Neb.)
On a good day, when he flies back home to the tiny town of Gering in westernmost Nebraska, Rep. Adrian Smith can depart from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport by as late as 6 p.m. Eastern time and still make it to his doorstep by 9:45 p.m. Mountain time. For living in a rural area, Smith says he feels quite fortunate for this.
But fortune often turns against Smith when he flies to the eastern part of his district, a journey that requires him to stop over at one of the vertices of the Heartland's Bermuda Triangle: Minneapolis, Chicago or Kansas City, Mo. The worst came last February, when Smith was destined for some speaking engagements in Lincoln but wound up stuck at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport for 12 hours. "The short weekends, when it looks like you're going to miss the main event, you wonder whether you should even continue the trip or just go back to D.C.," he said.
Because of his traveling travails, Smith has become both an admirer of Capitol Hill schedulers, whom he's come to regard as "artists" and a proponent of the federally funded expansion of America's second-busiest airport. "First opportunity I have to help expansion of O'Hare, I want to do it," he said. "I think it's a national issue."
And a Nebraska issue, as well.

Broncos-Panthers: Carolina Tries To Shore Up Secondary Against Top Pass OffenseDecember 13, 2008
The Carolina Panthers will face the Denver Broncos at Bank of America Stadium Sunday in their last regular season home game.
This game has been unofficially dubbed as a potential "trap game." While this point-of-view is understandable, it's not very logical.
In just over a week, the Panthers will travel to the Meadowlands to take on the New York Giants, currently the only team with a better record in the NFC than Carolina. If both teams win—and that's a big "if"—then that contest could decide who gets home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.
You'd think that the prospect of getting the chance to play for the right to host the NFC Championship game for the first time in the team's brief 13-year history would be somewhat distracting.
But the key to achieving that potentially epic Giants-Panthers matchup next week is both teams winning this week.
That means that if the Panthers don't beat the Broncos this week—and the Giants beat the Cowboys (which actually could very well end up not happening after the Giants laid an egg against the Eagles at home last week)—the possibility of having those two coveted January home games disappears just like that.
With that said, believe me when I say that the Panthers will be completely focused on Denver, especially the starting defensive backs, who know how badly they've struggled in the last month or so and that the Broncos have one of the deadliest passing offenses in the NFL.
Now that we have that out of the way, onto the analysis of the matchups...
The thing that worries me—as well as other Panthers fans and our team—most about the Broncos is their explosive pass offense. Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall are almost as—if not just as—dangerous of a QB-WR duo as the Saints' Drew Brees and Marques Colston.
Rookie receiver Eddie Royal has provided the balance needed to maximize an air attack's effectiveness with 69 receptions for 799 yards and 5 touchdowns.
TE Tony Sheffler is also a respectable threat in third-down situations as a possession receiver due to his size (6'5", 250 lbs).
In addition, the Broncos' offensive line has given up only eight sacks this season, the lowest total in the NFL. Furthermore, Cutler hasn't been sacked in the last three games.
If the Panthers' defense, which is tied for ninth in the league in sacks at 29, can pressure Cutler enough to get him of out sync with his receivers, then the toll on Denver's timing-based pass offense could be devastating.
The good news for the Panthers is that the passing game is the Broncos' only viable option on offense. Denver is down to their seventh and eighth active RBs of the season after Peyton Hillis went down with an injury last week in a 24-17 win over the Chiefs.
That means Tatum Bell, who was selling cell phones as little as a month ago, and recently-actived, former South Carolina player Cory Boyd will be active at RB this week.
As a result, Carolina should load up on defensive backs and dare the Broncos to try to run the ball. But if the Broncos get into a rhythm throwing the ball (and there's no reason to think they can't), then watch out.
Fortunately, Carolina's defense should have the edge on the Broncos' offense in the field position game. In the kickoff game, the Panthers have 23 touchbacks, most in the NFL by four. Or, even if Carolina kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd allows a return, opponents still only start at about the 21.
Broncos' kick returner Andre Hall averages 22.9 yards per return. However, that doesn't even make things much better for the Broncos than for the average team returning kicks against the Panthers.
Matchup To Watch: Panthers DE Julius Peppers against Broncos RT Ryan Clady
It would a crime for Julius Peppers not end up in Hawaii this February, with his 12.5 sacks on the season and overall dominating presence. Broncos offensive tackle Ryan Clady has been a key figure in pass-protection on Denver's rock-solid offensive line all season.
Cutler has been quoted saying, "He's been tested from the first preseason game all the way through. He's passed all the tests. I'm very comfortable back there with him taking over the blindside against anybody in the league right now."
After rushing for just under 300 yards against the Tampa Bay Bucs and their then-fourth-ranked run defense last week, the Panthers' Smash-and-Dash duo (take that, LenDale White) should have a field day against the Broncos' 26th-ranked run defense.
If Williams hopes to break Stephen Davis' franchise rushing record of 1,444 yards set back in 2003, he needs to have a big game against the Broncos.
He needs 303 yards to tie the record. Stewart needs to take the same advice if he wants to become the first 1,000-yard rookie rusher the Panthers have ever had (he currently needs 301 to break the millennium mark).
QB Jake Delhomme should even have a respectable day against one of the league's worst pass defenses. However, despite the fact that the defense itself looks to be one of the worst in the NFL statistically, its cornerbacks—Champ Bailey (who is questionable for the game due to a groin injury) and Dre' Bly—are imposing.
Delhomme needs to look to exploit Denver's weak safeties (and Bailey, whose speed could be significantly affected by his injury; an awful Achilles Heel to have against Smith, one of the league's fastest receivers) on deep passes to Smith.
Delhomme should have plenty of time to find his receivers, as he plays behind an offensive line that is tied for ninth in the league in sacks allowed at 19. The Broncos' defense ranks 23rd in the league in sacks with 23. However, the Panthers are in top ten and have only six more. The fact that the Broncos rank so low in sacks doesn't mean much.
However, Smith will likely need to do most of the work in the passing game for Carolina, as No. 2 receiver Muhsin Muhammad will likely be locked down by Bly for most of the game. If No.3 receiver Dwayne Jarrett plays this week, he could be a threat to account for in third-down situations as a possession receiver (a role he filled nicely in limited action against the Bucs last Monday).
The punt return game favors the team with the better defense, no matter how good a punter or punt returner's numbers are or how much success one or the other has had at their job.
The reason is that the defense dictates the offense's progression up the field. For example, if a defense holds an offense to a three-and-out from the offense's 10, then it usually doesn't matter how far the punter boots the ball—the other team will still get great field position because so much of the yardage on the punt is spent on just getting the ball out of your own territory.
In that situation it's really just a question of whether the opposing offense will get the ball at their own 35 (solid field position) or the defense's 45 (excellent field position).
With that said, Carolina has the edge in the punt return game because of their superior defense.
However, the Broncos' defense should be helped by their strong kick return game, which forces opponents to start drives at about their own 25. Panthers returner Mark Jones has the potential to break off some long returns, but he's by no means expected to notch several long kick returns in any game.
Matchup To Watch: Carolina's offensive line vs. Denver's defensive line
If the Broncos are going to have any shot at containing DeAngelo Williams and and Jonathan Stewart, their defensive line must keep from getting sealed off from the running lanes by the Panthers' offensive line.
If either of the two backs gets even minimal space against a Broncos defense has been infamously known throughout the season as a unit that can't tackle, then Denver's chances of winning are minimal.
Just to be sure you heard me, this is not—that's right, not—a "trap game" for the Panthers. They have to win this week just to be 100 percent sure that they'll get the possibility of being able to play for at least one home playoff game against the Giants on Dec. 21st.
They'll be ready. And with their severely stilted edge in the running game and impossible-to-ignore 7-0 home record (Carolina is one of only two teams still unbeaten at home in the NFL), they look like the favorites to pull this one out, even if Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, and Eddie Royal have a little something to say about it.

Random Series Facts
The Broncos lead, 2-0.
The Panthers have been outscored 54-17.
The Panthers have 19 first downs to the Broncos' 43.
The Panthers have run 94 plays for 374 yards, the Broncos 136 plays for 827 yards.
The Panthers still have not gained 100 rushing yards between the two games combined (they have 98 and average 2.45 YPC).
Okay, enough is enough. You get the point. The Broncos have dominated this brief series. However, to our credit, all-time Broncos and NFL legend John Elway played in the first game between these two clubs. We got shredded 34-0 by a team helmed a future Hall-of-Famer (if he isn't one already).

I just want to stick my head in the bag. Lovely fresh smell. I love the ziplock bag with the color coding on the outside. I am following their directions for this first cup. I'm also using the ingenuitea, which is almost exactly one cup, but I will probably be doing multiple infusions, just to get an idea of how long this lovely stuff lasts.
So, first infusion, boiling water, steeping approximately five minutes, 2 tsps of peppermint tea per cup, and we have an almost over flowing soup mug. That smells delicious. BTW, there is never going to ever be anything cooler than the ingenutiTEA. At least until I find the next afforadable gadget. The color is just right, a mossy brown, and the smell is just divine. Taste is strong. Very strong to begin with. My sinuses are thankful, but for a minutes I thought I was going to have to get the honey pot, but then it settled. Very smooth but strong.
Second infusion, same tea, boiling water: Color is much lighter. The smell is a little sweeter. Not a lot of taste.
I need to try this with just one teaspoon of tea.

Whether something is a class member or built on class members is nicely abstracted away in haskell. (at least for those not creating new instances). Yeah, polymorphism is the right term, but not always the best one when trying to explain basic haskell to my impertive minded friends. I find trying to draw analogies between haskell classes and constructs in other languages to be problematic as people then try to apply knowledge from other fields incorrectly to haskell unless you give a full explanation of haskell classes anyway.. but YMMV.

text: "In response to the concerns expressed by workers and their representatives, DOL asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to review the SEM database and its use of a particular database, Haz-Map, as the source of its toxic substance-occupational disease links. Accordingly, this IOM consensus report reflects careful consideration of its charge by the committee, and describes the strengths and shortcomings of both. To complete its task, IOM formed an ad hoc committee of experts in occupational medicine, toxicology, epidemiology, industrial hygiene, public health, and biostatistics to conduct an 18-month study to review the scientific rigor of the SEM database. The committee held two public meetings at which it heard from DOL Division of Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) representatives, the DOL contractor that developed the SEM database, the developer of the Haz-Map database, DOE worker advocacy groups, and several individual workers. The committee also submitted written questions to DOL to seek clarification of specific issues and received written responses from DEEOIC. The committee's report considers both the strengths and weaknesses of the SEM and the Haz-Map databases, recognizing that the latter was developed first and for a different purpose. The committee then discusses its findings and recommends improvements that could be made in both databases with a focus on enhancing the usability of SEM for both DOL claims examiners and for former DOE workers and their representatives. Review of the Department of Labor's Site Exposure Matrix Database summarizes the committee's findings."

Image Information
I planned this trip to the sand dunes around the full moon, so that I could do some night riding. While out there, I found a high spot, and set up the camera and tripod. I set the shutter to bulb, and opened the shutter. Then I got on my ATV, drove out to the middle with the lights off. When I got to the center of the frame, I turned on the lights, held the brake just enough to illuminate the brake lights, and started riding in a circle, slowly arcing outward. I used the tire marks from the previous arc to help space my current arc, so they would be evenly spaced. When I felt like I had filled the frame, I rode out of the shot, turned off the lights, and rode back to my equipment and closed the shutter.

Duty Is Loved By The Divinity - Poem by Mailrangam Visvanathan Venkataraman
Always opt for proper adjustment
By ignoring anger's inducement
Do your duty with commitment
Live with a positive sentiment
You are well-paid, so, you toil
Make peace grow on heart-soil
Your efforts, fate may spoil
Allow not your blood to boil
To jealousy, be not vulnerable
Opportunities are innumerable
If you are simple and humble
At no time, you will stumble
If working hours increase
Let not your joy decrease
All problems will soon cease
From agony, fate will release
Enough money if a job supplies
Proper reward, it then implies
With lethargy, if a soul lies
Hell is sure if its body dies
My body, let sweat decorate
To work means, to celebrate
Love to work, do not hate
Start before it is too late
Sun provides services singly
I respect Him praying adoringly
I follow Sun working amazingly
Sweat will glitter dazzlingly
The Moon is also educating
Rest period, it is calculating
By loyally and lovingly circulating
It is emaciating and rejuvenating
Stars give their regular attendance
Illuminating Sky with resplendence
The World upon them has dependence
God is there to give great defense
Nature works without duty-stoppage
Supplying boons in enough dosage
If you must enter History's page
Do toiling before reaching old-age.

NEW YORK - Take four french fries and put them on top of a hamburger. That's it: The French Fry Burger. That's Burger King's new menu item scheduled to debut on Sept. 1 and be offered through the rest of the fall.
The new burger will only cost a buck, and The Huffington Post is reporting that Burger King developed this special new recipe to fend off competition from McDonald's. The golden arches have been aggressively pushing their dollar menu, putting the pressure on Burger King to offer more for less.
Burger King said that first quarter sales in stores that have been open for more than one year slipped by half a percent in 2013. The idea for the Fry Burger is to utilize existing ingredients in order to limit Burger King's investment while also using the novel new recipe to attract customers.

This past weekend we tried the Futures Joel Parkinson fins from Finatics. We rode it as intended, thruster but found the center fin dragging quite a bit so we quickly made it a quad were it felt fine but not as fun as the Josh Maclaroys. We'll be sending those fins back and hopefully recieving the Al Merrick five fin set-up or the Elvons.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/26/4uqe2uru.jpg
