The Dave Goelz Gobo/Gonzo slip-up was funny. I was getting Dave's autograph after the show, and Bill Barretta stopped by (don't know if you noticed his Kermit the Frog tie), and reminded Dave to make sure he didn't sign my autograph as "Gobo". I should probably check and make sure he didn't mess it up.

This is a wonderful synopsis of Jerry's Memorial. I think that everyone loved Jerry because he was so honest and true to himself. He never thought of himself as particularly famous and he was just as warm to the person who, say, mowed the lawn as he was to the "rich and famous". If Jerry liked you, he liked you no matter who you were. I have received condolence cards from nurses who took care of him in hospitals he has been in. Everyone loved him. He was careful to answer fan mail (even though he put it off sometimes) and sign pictures. He always was ready to be interviewed and he liked to talk to fans.
He was a shining light and the love of my life.

RCC met with B.C. Ministry of Environment officials in regard to their policy update on the sales of pest and weed control products (the Integrated Pest Management Regulation) to review a number of common questions. (The policy update itself was the subject of a 2 June 2015 RCC Member Notice found here.)
Implementation date: Government understands that the ideal time to transition regimes is over the winter. However, the government's current intention is that the implementation date will be about one year after the publication of the new regulation. It is the government's intention that the implementation date will be followed by a period of "soft enforcement" in the form of education to ensure the new regime is effective.
Impacted products: Government understands they have an educational opportunity to ensure that all parties understand that both weed and insect control products are part of this change even though most materials refer to pest control products or pesticides.
Government also understands vendors' apprehensions surrounding the chemical names. It is their intention to produce both educational documents to assist vendors and information for their web site to assist consumers in understanding which products are impacted. Unless otherwise specified, the chemical name in Schedules 2 and 5 refers to all formats* and concentrations of those chemicals.
Will a vendor license be required to sell all Schedule 5 products? Yes. A trained and certified employee (certified pesticide dispenser) must have prescribed interaction with the customer before providing the customer with Schedule 5 products (page 4 of the June 2015 policy update).
A vendor license is not required to sell Schedule 2 Exclude Products. Please consult pages 8 to 10 of the Ministry's June 2015 policy update.
Revised training materials for certified pesticide dispensers are expected to be available in later 2015. The modalities of training (including fees) will not change but the content will change. Existing certified pesticide dispensers will be retrained at the expiry of their existing certification.
The B.C. government will work with municipal governments to ensure improvements in the availability of information on municipal bylaws concerning the application of pest
and weed control products.
Liability and compliance. The vendor will be responsible to fulfill the requirements of the regulation (for example, to confirm that the intended use is appropriate according to the label directions). There is an Administrative Penalties Regulation that is applicable for offenses under the Integrated Pest Management Act.
Next Steps:
RCC will continue to engage with B.C. Government officials to reduce the burden of the new proposals on retailers.
Government will provide retailer-specific webinars in Fall 2015 (after the introduction of the regulation, but before the effective date of the new regulation).
The B.C. Ministry of Environment has been consulting with stakeholders concerning an update to the integrated pest management regime since a special committee of the legislature was struck in October 2011 to consider issues surrounding the cosmetic use of pesticides.
RCC is pleased that Government is, following our advice, providing a significant time-window for implementation and that it has moved away from other proposals which would have been difficult to implement.
*The government provided a different response to a question concerning products in aerosol format at its webinar on 18 June 2015. Later, government confirmed by email that "any domestic class pesticide in an aerosol container would be included on Schedule 2, regardless of the active ingredient." Accordingly, those products would not require a vendor license, customer interaction or restricted customer access.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact: Greg Wilson, Director, Government Relations (B.C.) at: [email protected] or 604-736-0368.

Movie Bracketology
Earlier we brought you the magic that was Television Bracketology, and today we're back with the Movie version of the same. Grouping movies into brackets for the purpose of determining the best is far from a unique concept, as we found dozens of examples on the web. It's still a fun way to celebrate March Madness for those of you who are more into movies than you are into sports. So, we've selected some of our favorites to share with you below, the first three of which are still soliciting votes. Click on the image for the original source :
- Will Ferrell : Best Character Tourney
To celebrate "Casa" and March Madness, Moviefone has put together a month-long NCAA-style tournament pitting 16 of Ferrell's best characters against each other. All you have to do is vote for your favorite one.
- Funniest Movie of All Time
Doug Gottlieb is stirring the pot again. This time he's challenging listeners to decide the funniest movie in cinema history. This controversial debate continues with "The Holy Grail" dueling against "American Pie" and "Ghostbusters" trying to win it all!
- Science Fiction Movies
Behold, the most important tournament of our time: io9's March Movie Madness. For the next few weeks we will pit science fiction classics against each other. 64 films enter, only one will leave. And you decide which the greatest is.
- Sports Movie Tournament
After 1,460 votes were counted, and recounted…we here at SpartyandFriends are proud to announce that Caddyshack is your 2009 Movieology champion, taking down Major League. We thank all of you that joined in, it was definitely fun. Caddyshack after a somewhat easy run, took down the dreadful Remember the Titans to claims their spot in the Finals and demolished Major League, a great movie, but one which had no real reason for being there.
- Big-Screen Psycho-Killers
Over the last month, you've voted like fiends and winnowed down our field of 32 slashers, serial killers, and sociopaths, leaving Halloween's Michael Myers and The Silence of the Lambs' Hannibal Lecter as the last murderers standing (alongside a pile of bloodied, mutilated corpses, naturally). And in what turned out to be a closely fought battle … Hannibal the Cannibal devoured his masked competitor by a margin of 53%-47%!
- Monster March Madness
The war was waged. 64 giant monsters from all over the galaxy and Earth itself decided to square off in the mother of all battles. Creatures who seemingly didn't stand a chance, were beaten early, while still others fought valiantly to further rounds and continued domination of their opponents. But, when the dust cleared, only four stood tall and the ultimate stare-down ensued. It was time, at last, to see who the last monster standing would be.

KFm airfoil 48" Flying Wing
Here is my Coroplast version of the KFm airfoil flying wing.
Specs - 48" WS, 23 oz. AUW, 1200kv 450 motor, 3S 1600mah, 8X6 APC
I couldn't get her to balance to a good CG during my dry fit, so I had to cut a slot & move the entire motor mount assembly forward. I had started off with the entire motor aft of the body.
She was very stable, although a bit sluggish I thought. This is my first wing, so I really don't have anything to compare to. Changing from the 9X5 the 8X6 helped noticeably in the speed department.
I will max out the throws on the Tx, plus cut some slots along the hinge lines to make sure I'm getting good free movement of the control surfaces.
As evidenced in the video, I did experience a large degree of flutter (how about the entire ship) at higher speeds. I believe I need some additonal supports/stiffeners back by the motor. I will also put in a doubler/splice plate on the underside, where the 2 foldover pieces butt along the centerline - to reduce overall side to side flex.
Thanks to Tony65X55 for the design - https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...0&postcount=38

Nice wing, it looks pretty good up in the air too.
You could try putting in some lengths of carbon fibre tubes or rods into the wing. You can get a size that slides snugly in between the flutes. the CF rods do a pretty good job of stiffening up a wing. it might be all you need.
You also might try trimming off the inside corner of that aileron next to the prop at the same angle as the outside corner and if I was going to use two aileron servos, I would have put them in the middle of the aileron and used extensions instead of putting them so far inward like that...... take out some of that flex. Awesome plane, though!
Oh, ya know.... I wonder if the way your hinge is cut through there at an angle like that if some funky air currents are passing through the ailerons and causing the flutter. Usually the hinge line is right in a flute and the side of the flute blocks air from passing through there. I wonder if a piece of packing tape or scotch tape put down in there and pressed in with a craft stick or something and then folded over would make a valid test to see what would happen if you stopped the air from passing through that hinge line.... Easy test and if it passes you might be able to come up with something more permanent. Although the way I fly, a piece of packing tape would probably hold up ok until the wing met its demise.
Spar Added
Thanks for the comments, guys.
I decided to use a scrap piece of 3/8" for a lateral spar. On my next build, I will insert some CF rods into the flutes before I fold & glue the wing.
I also added a piece of CF on top of the motor mount stick running forward, to help stiffen longitudinally.
Next time, I will also move the servos further outboard, to center them on the elevons. I was trying to keep them as far forward (which means inboard, due to the wing sweep) as I could for balance, but I think the elevons need them more centered.
I'll put some hinge tape on & see if I notice any difference.
I flew 3 batteries today. I think I've got her dialed in close enough for now. To offset the weight of the new spar, I added 1 oz. of lead at the tip. She needed a whole bunch of left elevon up trim/centering to keep from rolling to the right - perhaps due to to torque of the motor/prop? This being my first wing, I don't know if this is normal.
Oh, I almost forgot - the flutter is all but gone. It only showed up briefly one time during some high speed manuvering, as the video shows.
Got Bomb ?
Added a Quanum Bomb Drop System to my wing -
I'm going to try to move the base further back closer to the CG, so it won't impact flight performance so much.
Coroplast Zagnutz Wing
Hey Gator,
I just found your Coroplast 48" wing. I been into SPAD for two years and
have been on the lookout for this type of wing.
I have downloaded Tony's plans and plan to start shortly on this build.
I have two questions:
1) Have you stuck with your original power plant?
If so, do you have a Hobbyking or other sites stock number(s) as I have
trouble crossing motors to get the correct size.
2) With your set-up, where did you end up with the CG as measured
from the nose?
Thanks In Advance
I am on my second wing. I felt the first wing needed some improvements, and it was just as easy to cut a new wing out than to mess with opening up the fold, etc. on the first one.
1.The second wing (KFm -V2) has the same electronics. The prop is an APC 8X6EP & the motor is a speed 450 from headsuprc - http://www.headsuprc.com/servlet/the...0-Speed/Detail
I am drawing 21 amps & 240 Watts on the wattmeter & the motor is only rated at 20A max, so I try not to fly at full throttle.
2. I don't yet know what the final CG will be. I usually record somewhere what I'm using for CG on my planes once I get them dialed in, but for some reason I didn't on my first wing. The old airframe with the markings on it ended up in the recycling bin & got picked up Friday.
I maidened V2 Saturday, and am still in the process of dialing her in. She's balanced about 7.5" from the tip now.
I was suprised to find out she was nose heavy, even with cutting from the same plan & locating battery & electronics in the same place. I had to move the battery (rotate it to run fore to aft). I think it's because I eliminated the wood spar in the rear & added some CF in the flutes.
I'll post some details & pics in the next day or so. I'm going out in the AM - as the winds from Irene will probably keep us grounded starting tomorrow PM till this weekend.
I have a question for you - what are your thoughts or plans for a motor mount?
I initially used the stick mount because it's simple, easy and I had one laying around. I think it also helps act as a stiffener.
I had also thought about making an "L" shaped motor mount out of gutter pipe or plywood & fanstening thru the Coro to a plate on the other side. This would allow you to slide the motor as needed for balance during your trial fit.
Last edited by gatorlynch; Aug 23, 2011 at 11:34 PM.
If you're nosing in, your balance point is off. You need to move your CG point and rebalance. Trial & error, until you can fly level hands off without too much trim on the elevons.
My wing has flown without winglets - I had 1 came off at the field one day, so I removed the other one (they were just put on with gorilla glue) so I could keep flying and too see what would happen. I didn't notice a huge difference, but I would think they're designed to be there for a reason. Plus, without a fuselage, it's about the only thing you have as a visual reference for orientation.
Print out the portion of the plan showing the winglets at full scale, then use as a template.
Your weight will not be a linear porportion versus a larger wing span. Your battery, motor, servo esc, etc. are fixed in weight & do not vary with a smaller wing span.
Hope this helped ...
Andy - I'm not able to answer your question, as it's not a simple answer. If you want to delve into the design aspect, you can lose yourself for days at a time here in these forums, and get the opion & experience of knowledgable people. Here is a link to a thread discussing the KFm airfoil - https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=558321
This being a SPAD (to me, the operative letter here is S=Simple), I just built it, knowing it would weigh a bit more than a foamie build. I didn't want to get all caught up in wing loadings, etc. I can tell you my V1 flew well, both power on and off @ 23 oz. I also feel motor/prop selection is important - you need to have enough thrust for the weight.
PM me if you want to - I'd be happy to try to help you out.
Updates & Changes
Don't forget to post the changes and updates made from v1 to v2.
I have an equitable 450 I had purchased for a HOT version of rcrich's
cheap-n-easy so I think I have everything I need.
hxt 500 servos be good enough for this bird?
Also, how do get such a straight fold when folding the coroplast,
I assume you are using 4 mil, at the angle for the leading edge?
I cut a small piece of scrap, to show you how I cut my wing folds.
This technique also works for cutting out the control surfaces, or cutting fuselage folds on other models. If it's a control surface or a 90 degree fold, I usually only cut one pass wide.
Here is a link to my hinging tool - http://home.comcast.net/~TipsTricksL...nging_tool.htm
The curved tips of the blades allow you to cut without worring about cutting through the bottom skin layer. A straightedge (I use a framing square) is used when you're cutting at an angle or perpindicular to the flutes. When you're cutting with the grain of the flutes, the width of the paint stick allows proper blade spacing to be able to cut & remove the entire top skin right from sidewall to sidewall in one pass.

Serves: 2-3
Preparation time: 30 mins
Cooking time: 15 mins
Ingredients needed to make Tuna Kimbap:
- 5-6 cups cooked rice
- 1 avocado, peeled and stoned
- 3 strips pickled yellow radish
- Several seaweed sheets
- One canned tuna
- 3 crabmeat strip
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar, divided
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp green onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
- 3 tsp sesame oil
Cooking instructions for Tuna Kimbap:
- For the sauce, whisk half of the sugar and the entire salt into vinegar until they dissolve completely.
- Empty the cups of cooked rice into a large mixing bowl and drizzle the above sauce over it.
- Give it a good stir to coat the rice well with the sauce and set aside until required.
- To cook the tuna,
- Drain the tuna into a hot skillet and add a lashing of sesame oil in it.
- Toss to coat well with the oil and stir fry over moderate heat for a couple of minutes.
- Add a splash of soy sauce into it and give it a nice stir along with the minced garlic, rest of the sugar and a dash of black pepper.
- Continue to sauté the tuna flakes for another couple of minutes, stirring often and remove from heat.
- Drizzle rest of the sesame oil over it and toss the tuna along with the green onion and sesame seed until they distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- To assemble, spread a seaweed sheet across a bamboo mat and spoon a portion of the rice onto it.
- Spread the rice across the sheet, pressing it at the same time, so that the rice sticks to it.
- Top it up with the cooked tuna and arrange a slice of avocado, a pickled yellow radish strip and piece of crabmeat, side by side.
- Roll the sheet tightly, with the help of the bamboo mat and unwrap it from the kimbap roll.
- Wipe a sharp knife with a damp cloth and cut it into slices, each about a couple of cms thick.
- Arrange them on a plate and use rest of the ingredients to make more kimbap rolls in a similar fashion.
- Serve with your favourite Asian dipping sauce.

Central Texas College once again hosted its annual Take Back the Night event at its Killeen campus on Tuesday afternoon.
The event was one of thousands of Take Back the Night events around the United States aimed at raising public awareness about issues such as sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual abuse and all other forms of sexual violence.
"The whole premise is to enlighten people, get them information and raise that awareness," said Bruce Vasbinder, a spokesman for the college.
Held in the college campus center, this year's event featured a number of speakers lecturing on topics related to sexual assault and domestic violence, including Barbara Stephens, a representative from Fort Hood's Family Advocacy Program.
Stephens outlined different forms of abuse, as well as the difficulties that abused spouses and partners have leaving the relationships.
"Sometimes it's just the way they were raised or even their religious beliefs," she said. "Statistics show that it takes an average of seven (instances) of them being abused and going back before they are able to leave for good."
Stephens also spoke about the resources available to those who have suffered any kind of abuse. She noted that the military's recent decisions regarding same-sex servicemembers should encourage those in same-sex relationships who experience abuse to seek help as well.
Other speakers included Leah Jones, a representative of a new parent support program, and Shanequa Legree, a local business owner whose company sells self-defense products.
Vendors and organizations were also on hand to distribute information and literature related to abuse and sexual assault.

Summer Camp is so important, it gets kids outside and away from their screens. Yet, as parents, we all want to be sure our kids are safe. Any camp you select especially Overnight Camps should be accredited by the ACA, they check over 300 camp items. I know I own Swift Nature Camp http://swiftnaturecamp.com
As Camp Owners of Swift Nature Camp and over 20 years in the business, I agree with all the information here. The only thing I would need to ad. Summer camps have a culture and this culture is not always highlighted on the website. So how do you differentiate between camps, because lets face it archery is archery. Here are few ways to help: Ask the director, look at camp size, ask other campers, and of course do a review search online. Hope that helps
www.kidsforcitykids.com, animal camp for children who love animals. Registration is starting now for June camp. Pick a mini horse, goat or llama...check it out or on facebook

Summer camp does bring back some memories. I liked that you included camps that used scholarships. Zip lining and rock climbing sound like great summer camp activities. I didn't have those when I went to camp. Sounds fun.

text: Should I: A. Get the universal mulching plate B. Side discharge everything C. Get the dedicated mulch deck on it If A or B, should I upgrade blades? I want to mulch as close to 100% as possible. I have a Walker that needs a little TLC that I can use for bagging for the customers that are stingy with not letting me mulch or overgrown yards that have to be bagged. But there are alot of unknowns with how much it will cost to fix and for how long it will last, so I would love to have the option to bag with the Scag, so basically is the mulching deck significantly better enough to warrant the mower to being totally dedicated, or is there not that much difference? How much difference is there between the mulching deck and a deck with upgraded blades and a plate on it? Because then with tall or wet grass I can take the plate off and either side discharge it or bag it to disperse the clippings better. Sorry for the long post, Danny

Apple is in the process of trying to trademark the term "App Store" but Microsoft has stepped forward to try to block that move. Microsoft has asked the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to reject Apple's request, saying that "app store" is a generic term and other companies use it or will want to use it. "Any secondary meaning or fame Apple has in 'App Store' is de facto secondary meaning that cannot convert the generic term 'app store' into a protectable trademark," write lawyers for Microsoft in a motion for summary judgment, filed yesterday with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. "Apple cannot block competitors from using a generic name. 'App store' is generic and therefore in the public domain and free for all competitors to use."
They also point to Steve Jobs using the term "app store" to describe Google's Android app store or App Store or whatever.

The sporadic fighting that had occurred in 2007 in the Mt. Elgon region of the western Rift Valley province between Kalenjin ethnic groups and Kikuyu tenant farmers became politicized and much more violent in 2008 after the disputed presidential election in December 2007. The clashes occurred between Kalenjin ethnic groups who claimed traditional ownership of the land and the mainly Kikuyu tenant farmers who had settled in the area that was occupied by white farmers prior to independence. Although the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), which had its stronghold in the west, gained the largest number of seats in the National Assembly, its leader, Raila Odinga, accused the government of having rigged the presidential election when incumbent Mwai Kibaki of the Party of National Unity (PNU) was hurriedly sworn in as president before an official result was announced. Odinga's call for a mass protest demonstration in Nairobi fueled the discontent still further, and violence by his supporters in the west and on the coast was countered by Kikuyu attacks on western ethnic-group settlers in more-central regions. More than 1,000 people were killed, and estimates of the number of displaced persons varied from 300,000 to 600,000. The transportation of goods from Mombasa to Nairobi and onward to Uganda and Rwanda was brought to a halt.
Laborious negotiations between the contending parties—mediated by Kofi Annan, former UN secretary-general; Jakaya Kikwete, president of Tanzania and chairman of the African Union; and other African dignitaries—eventually resulted on February 28 in an outline agreement to form a power-sharing government and to create the new post of prime minister. Kibaki remained president, and Odinga became prime minister.
Bargaining continued over the distribution of offices, and the composition of the cabinet was not announced by Kibaki until April 13. In an effort to accommodate all the aspirations of the different groups, 42 cabinet ministers and 52 assistant ministers were named. Worries over footing the bill for the salaries of these new appointees led to an immediate outcry and a demonstration in Nairobi. Nevertheless, the cabinet was sworn in on April 17.
Another feature of the agreement was the appointment of a commission, under the chairmanship of South African Judge Johann Kriegler, to inquire into the conduct of the presidential elections. The commission reported in September that the elections had been so badly affected by corruption on all sides that it was impossible to discover the victor and recommended that the Electoral Commission be fundamentally reformed or, preferably, replaced by a better-qualified body. An additional inquiry was launched in May to investigate how the postelectoral chaos came about.
Economic recovery followed an uneven course. In August the giant mobile telephone company Zain established its headquarters in Nairobi. In September, however, the government was urgently requested to take action to reduce the cost of fuel to avoid large-scale unemployment. There were also lingering concerns over corruption. In July, Finance Minister Amos Kimunya resigned in the wake of an investigation into the sale of the state-owned Grand Regency Hotel in Nairobi, which was sold below market value. At the same time, an investigative journalist claimed that two cabinet ministers and a number of senior politicians and officials were among the beneficiaries of land set aside for the resettlement of displaced persons.

Also, if you haven't seen the CCST video, you should know that you play a starring role in some of the footage from Butte for your wonderful circular driving skills.
I just remembered, there's something I need to adjust in the Texas route. Gah, where's JonnyNero when you need him.
So, until I fix that, just remember that the Texas route is not currently final.
Actually, what I meant is that i need to reduce the amount of toll roads traveled on through Kansas.

It's not "go 20 minutes out of your way just to pick me up at my house because I'm a jerk like that", it's more like "if it wasn't dangerous and severly illegal, I could easily jump in the car if you slowed it down to 15 mph on a busy interstate".
This isn't my exact house location, but this will give you an idea on distance.
That could work out, providing there is a car heading from that direction. The schedule and routes in the OP are there for people to gain an understanding of where and when they need to be in the right place at the right time to meet up with the rest of the group. It does not guarantee that somebody will definitely be traveling that route, however. Your best bet would be to round up some adventurous friends who can drive and at least one of which who has an able bodied vehicle.

" Genre: Music / Stage / Screen / Author: Alastair Dougall / Hardcover / Reading Level: Young Adult / 144 Pages / Book is published 2000-10 by DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley) "
* Prices may differ from that shown
With the expected lull in-between Bond films taking longer than expected due to the legal case surrounding the collapse of MGM and so not having much new material to look at other than the re-released DVD's, I thought I would catch up on the pile of books that I have relating to Bond. One that stood out straight away was The Secret World of 007. Noticeable due to the fact the cover is simply a dark red colour with silver lettering depicting the title, more This Is Your Life than 007! Although this does give it a nice individual appearance as it does make it look like an official Government folder than a book. An updated version to include Quantum of Solace was issued at the time the latest film was released in the cinema to bring everything up to date and current featuring a very good photo of Bond number 6, Daniel Craig, on the cover and yes I have both editions! In actual fact this is the third edition to be released since Pierce Brosnan wore the tuxedo.
A similar version and unconnected version of the book was released in 1987 which gave an overview of the Bond franchise aimed at the younger reader to introduce them to the films and the characters, the more recent book is not an update but a book that simply uses the same title that has been redesigned from cover to cover and isn't at all recognisable on comparison and besides the aims of the book and the way the facts are presented are a hell of a lot better than the earlier version given the facts that the depth the book goes into is amazing given the audience its aimed at in the first place, by this I mean that the adults will be more intrigued by this book than the children. The reason for this is simple as the book has a number of cutaway diagrams that show the inner workings of such Bond icons as the white Lotus Espirit that Bond uses as a submarine and the famous DB5 from Goldfinger. Each diagram is presented in full colour and annotated with lines coming out from the areas to explain what this area is and also does, backed up with photos of the weapon in action from the relevant film as well to give a full overview of how it fits into the Bond legacy.
It doesn't really matter who your favourite actor is who played Bond, all aspects of the adventures are contained in film order starting with Dr No from 1962 right up to the most recent release. Other than the cars the book also indulges itself into giving a detailed breakdown of the villain's lair such as Atlantis from The Spy Who Loved me used by Karl Stromberg, even the lift shafts are included and the individuality of each one is shown in glorious detail. On this subject it has to be said that the same amount of exposure isn't varied at all and every film is given the same amount of attention spread across three of four pages with regards to the characters and the information presented to the reader.
The smart thing about The Secret World of 007 is the method in which the booked is ordered to amplify the clarity of what you are reading about. The first twenty pages consists of a profile of Bond himself as an Agent with a nice piece about his background that is brief enough to take in without becoming the commanding text on the page. The manner in which he dresses and what he wears when on a mission is detailed and informative, whether it's a suit by designers Tom Ford or Brioni or specialist clothing for different environments such as the Artic or a Jungle. All clothing details are included under the heading The Bond Look. The other sections detail the women that Bond has fallen in love with and the one he married, mix this in with two page sections about Bond's employer and Q branch as well as the Villain of each piece then you have a very granular insight to 007 already and this is even before the film section has kicked in.
The writers decided to give this a deliberate grounding in the Bond universe and have even provided a tongue in cheek foreword that has been provided by M. M describes this book as a breakthrough as the information contained being printed to member s of the public would have been unthinkable until now. I like this as it does give an understanding to the reader as it would have been a sorely missed opportunity not to have Bond's chief say something at the beginning.
As you can imagine the text is only part of the story and this is where the book excels itself, to back a piece of text up in what is being said a photo has been added to show what is being said. The quality of the photographs on each page is absolutely superb, the desire to use black and white pictures is kept to a minimum and the pages consist of colour photos throughout that tend to be either hi-res shots taken from the film in question or the promotional shots. Both are of such a high quality that has been printed onto glossy paper that both the colour and non-colour photos all look good anyway, and its nice to see that there are a number of rare pictures included that are used to good effect in the correct sections, some being placed at an angle to move away from the boring layout that could easily become repetitive in nature and even from the outset the diagrammatical drawings begin straight away with a breakdown of the belt buckle used by Bond in Goldeneye. You may also expect the actor playing Bond to appear in every photo as well, thankfully this doesn't happen and the actor playing Bond is actually kept out of some photos and only seen where necessary, which in turn allows the subject to be the focus rather than 007.
Finishing off the book is a full cast list of each film, this goes into some depth as to who played who and is informative to the extent that the reader can tie in the actor with the relevant section to give a greater overview. I'm in two minds as to whether this was needed or not really as in some aspects the book gives a point of view from the Bond universe and the list of credits at the end takes you out of this world completely and brings you back to reality. However after going through the book a few times my mind had changed and I was in the camp that thought this was a good way of completing the book, after all it does have six actors playing the part of Bond over forty five years so I can understand and see why this was done a bit better now.
Publishers Dorling Kingsley have released a number of books for various areas of fantasy such as Batman and Superman over the past few years, these are all a high standard, yet the key to the quality of the product is who is bought into make the idea a reality. In this case they have bought in a subject matter expert as a Consultant - Dave Worrell. He has written books about the DB5 as well as The Authorised Guide to 007 and someone who I have had the pleasure of meeting. Add to the mix Roger Stewart a technical illustrator and author Alistair Dougall has delivered an excellent book.
As I said earlier this is aimed at younger readers and can be considered an entry point into the films, this will give an excellent understanding of the films and what they are about, however if this was on a coffee table and waiting to be read then I can imagine the adults in the room would have some conversations about this and what film was about what plot and so on and the kids would get a brain feed from this book in the same way that I did when I read this the first time.
James Bond: The Secret World of 007 was published in 2000 and written by Alastair Dougall. This is yet another illustrated coffee table Bond book but a good one and one that can be picked up quite cheaply these days as it only goes up to 1999's The World Is Not Enough. The book has a slightly strange but enjoyable approach where it acts as if James Bond was a real person ('The real 007 has never disclosed which actor he feels has captured him the best!') and we are being offered a top secret glimpse into his world. The Secret World of 007 runs to 144 pages and is lavishly illustrated. There are three sections in the book, the first of which is The Bond Dossier which looks at MI6, his gadgets, his women, his allies, the villains - plus the clothes and habits that make up a suave superspy. 'The Missions' looks at Bond's task in each film with much detail about the more famous vehicles he has owned or used and a wealth of illustrative information about the villains various headquarters, from Blofeld's hollowed out volcano in You Only Live Twice to Stromberg's undersea Captain Nemo style base Atlantis. The final section looks at the films that have been made about Bond, from Dr No to The World Is Not Enough, with details about the five Bond actors.
While there won't be much new here to people who already have some of these big illustrated Bond guides already this one is quite good fun and of a high standard. It is unavoidably dated though and very Brosnancentric in terms of its images and general feel. The book was sanctioned by EON (the company who makes the Bond pictures) and they do tend to overegg whoever is Bond at the time when they release books like this. You can buy a 2008 version of this now featuring Quantum of Solace but I'm not that fussed myself. I'd rather forget Quantum of Solace even exists! Because this is EON sanctioned and MGM had yet to acquire the rights to it, the 1983 renegade or 'unofficial' Bond film Never Say Never Again with Sean Connery (it's a very long long story how this film got to be made but it all had to do with a producer called Kevin McClory writing some of Thunderball with Ian Fleming) is not featured here which is a slight shame. Never Say Never Again is not a great film but it is interesting to look at in any capacity.
The stuff here on the villain 'lairs' is great fun with some detailed analysis of how they they work and where all the rooms and functions are. Obviously, it would probably be a bit difficult to build a headquarters out of a volcano or decamp to a space station with your followers like Hugo Drax but this book is quite amusing in the way it pretends this is all real and suspension of disbelief is a big part of James Bond films. Some of the stuff I quite enjoyed here was a look at the big battle sequences that frequently used to close out the more vintage Bond pictures. The Ninja attack on Blofeld's volcano in You Only Live Twice, the Alpine helicopter attack on Piz Gloria in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the huge ending to Goldfinger in Fort Knox, the attack on Carl Stromberg's Atlantis base in The Spy Who Loved Me, and so on. This tradition seems to be a thing of the past now and the series seems to have long since lost that gargantuan sense of scope and mayhem that Cubby Broccoli always had a knack of doing so well. Although The Secret World of 007 is a decade old now (well this version at any rate) it only misses out three Bond films and the trawl through some of the more vintage entries in the sixties and seventies are always entertaining however many times you've seen them on television or read profiles about them in books like this.
Another section I quite liked was about fights and chases on or involving vehicles. The two famous train punch-ups in From Russia With Love and The Spy Who Loved Me for example and all the various cars, planes and vehicles deployed by Bond to escape. There is a breakdown of the more general fights too and a reminder of some good ones. The fight between Necros and a security guard at the MI6 safehouse in The Living Daylights was an excellent one but it tends to get overlooked now, perhaps because it didn't actually feature Bond. It's only in the last section that the book really deploys photographs of Connery, Lazenby, Moore and Dalton when it looks the films. For most of the book Pierce Brosnan is used as the image of Bond which is understandable I suppose as he was the current 007 at the time and looked set for a lengthy stay (although he only did one more film after this). I haven't seen the revised edition but it wouldn't surprise you if Brosnan has been airbrushed out of his central role in the book given his acrimonious and slightly bitter parting of the ways with EON.
Although I enjoyed this book and it's very well designed and put together, I don't think I would have been willing to pay much for it as there are dozens of Bond books like this already on the market. I tend to wait until these are a few years old and pick them up for a nominal fee. Something like The Incredible World of 007 will give you much more text to read and a subjective analysis so, overall, I prefer books like that, but this certainly scores very highly on the picture front. So while The Secret World of 007 is fun to flip through and has been put together with a great deal of care and affection I don't think this is an essential purchase and only one to pick up at a bargain price. You should bear in mind that you can pick a 2008 edition of this book too. While it doesn't bother me not having the newer version of this others might prefer to go for that one. This book is pretty good on the whole but unavoidably does tread very familiar ground in the crowded Bond illustrated guide market.

Music Saves/Square Records 9th Annual Holiday Get Down
with Ohio Civil War (Cle) / Shivering Timbers (Akr) / Extra Medium Pony (Cle) / Bad Trouble (Akr)
Sunday, Dec 23, 2012 8:30 PM EST
(7:30 PM Doors)
Beachland Tavern, Cleveland, OH
Purchase Tickets
Additional Information
Every time a local record store throws an event, we just have to smile. Why? Because remember when big-box music retailers wandered the land, crushing indies at will, and causing music lovers to scurry for cover under their laptops? It appears those days are done for now. The concept of the record store has a cultural hangout has truly returned. We are pleased. We like it when people aren't just buying music from a real live local retailer; we like it even more when people share the concept of loving music from a real live human being. Hence, we'll be rejoicing when Cleveland's Music Saves and Akron's Square Records combine forces to present a great lineup of fine bands from either city. Check out the dark folk blues of Shivering Timbers and the high-powered rock n' roll of Ohio Civil War, featuring members of great CLE bands like The Conservatives, The Chargers Street Gang, and also featuring Melt restaurant impresario Matt Fish on drums.

Girls Basketball: Miller scores career high in Goodhue win
Goodhue junior Mikayla Miller had a career night on Tuesday with 37 points, pushing the Wildcats past Kasson-Mantorville 69-57 in Kasson. Miller also finished with 16 rebounds.
While Goodhue was able to control the game on offense, the defense, especially the defensive play of 5-foot-7 forward Meredith Watson in the paint, was the biggest factor according to head coach Josh Wieme. Watson limited KoMets post player Erin Schlotthauer to 15 points.
"She was just an incredible defensive player tonight," Wieme said. "She's 5-7 and she's always playing against a 6-footer. (Watson's defense of Schlotthauer) was the big difference tonight."
Down by six late in the first half, the Wildcats scored five points in the final 30 seconds to cut K-M's lead to 28-27 at halftime. And with Schlotthauer and Abby Manitz in foul trouble for the KoMets, Goodhue was able to cruise in the second half.
"They became limited on what they could do offensively," Wieme said.
Along with Miller's big night, Mikayla Tipcke added 12 for the Wildcats (20-5). Manitz led K-M with 16 in the loss.
Goodhue closes out its Hiawatha Valley League Blue Division schedule Saturday, hosting Zumbrota-Mazeppa.

Cequint Sues Apple Over Advanced Caller ID
Cequint, which describes itself as a "pioneer in landline caller ID" claims that it was first to provide "enhanced mobile caller ID" by not just showing the phone number of a caller, but also the location from where the call originates. The first patent in question, #6,353,664, was filed in December of 1997 and granted to Lucent in 2002; Cequint acquired the patent in 2007. The second patent mentioned in the lawsuit, #7,200,212, was filed in January 2005 and granted to Cequint in April of 2007.
According to the patent, Cequint's invention covers the retrieval of "the calling number delivery (CND) message from a local central office (CO) switch or mobile station switching center", the storage containing "corresponding geographic information such as city and state by matching the area code and/or local exchange number received:, as well as a readout device to display the geographic information.
Cequint may have a clear-cut case here as Apple appears to be one of the very few missing customers of Cequint. AT&T, Google, HTC, LG, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, RIM, Samsung, Sharp, Sony Ericsson, T-Mobile and Verizon are listed as the company's customers.
In its patent infringement lawsuit, Cequint asks to be compensated for Apple's direct and indirect infringement on its patents.
that the whole concept dude..
the retrieval of the cnd.. the voip number cnd is in washington.. hence the retrieval will be successful.
technology proven to be working and in use.
hoof_heartedThis isn't any tech that is 'invented'. It is simply looking up what city an area code and exchange belongs to. I wonder how accurate this is when someone keeps his/her phone number but moves to another state.
Wouldn't all of these other "reverse phone number" search services such as Spokeo fall under this since they use and are code / exchange to determine geographic information using your computer screen as the "readout device"?
I mean I am glad to see Apple get bit by this, but is still a case of bullsh1t patent trolling.
dheadleyThis story has been posted for days on other tech sites and everyone with an iPhone is asking why apple is getting sued for this at all. The iPhone doesn't apperently do caller -ID this way and never has. It only shows the incoming number and puts a picture/face with it if you have a contact already saved.
And this patent and their product is for the carrier side of things. Just another cheap shot at Apple, probably finaced by the HTC/Motorola/Samsung/Google group that is throwing up a ton of bogus lawsuits and shifting patents around/trading companies etc. in an effort to actually win something, anything against Apple at this point.
Interesting post. Except for one thing. My phone doesn't do this either, though it's an android phone. Yet I do know that I can pay Verizon extra money, and then my phone will do it. I'm guessing to have the option to enable it requires it to be implemented in the phone, hence the need for licensing. Now, how certain are you that this premium option is unavailable on the iphone and you've just never met anybody who decided to pay for it?
1. Apple didnt even come close to inventing the first tablet - They just marketed it better
2. Apple didnt even come close to inventing the first mp3 player - They also just marketed it better
3. Apple didnt invent Siri - - - they bought it from another company and restricted access from it from all iOS devices to only iphone 4s
No, Cequint is an independent company owned by none of the major players in the mobile industry (it is actually owned by a company called TNS).
Cequint's business model has it working directly with carriers to integrate their caller ID software into the phone at launch (as opposed to a downloadable app) and is a subscriber based service. The release of the iPhone and the App market changed the game- Cequint used to only have to share profits with the carriers and now Apple wants a cut. Cequint hasn't developed an iPhone app yet (to my knowledge) because it hasn't been able to work out a means of getting around Apple's eco system policies- and it is likely that Apple won't budge. Cequint is also likely feeling pressure from App makers on the market doing the same thing. So, instead of playing the game, they sue.
chomleeWell at least it is from a company that actually does something and not just a lawfirm that has purchased patents with the sole purpose of suing someone who actually invents the concept and becomes successfull from their own sweat and blood.
Many of these litigation lawyers are nothing but middleman moving money from one place to another and in the process taking a huge chunk (50-75%) for themselves. They are the evil that plagues this country. They have killed our healthcare industry now they are threatening the advancement in technology.
Also, SIRI is an expert system for a very limited scope of user requests. Until an OS is built ground-up with hooks for total voice control in mind, the functionality Apple implied in its iPhone 4S commercials will not cleanly come to fruition.
freggoNot that I mind Apple being sued... but seriously. A 'patent' to display the phone number of where a call comes from ?
Something like this should not be patentable.
Invent a Phone...patent. Display a caller's phone number . . . NO patent.
Invent GPS...patent; display someone's GPS data . . . no patent.
But that's just me.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Five vehicles really stand out from the hundreds of new cars and trucks on display for the opening of the State Fair of Texas today.
I got a sneak peek on Thursday.
While there are prettier or more radical vehicles at the fair, I thought these five were especially significant or were much improved over previous models.
You can find them in the Automobile and Centennial buildings. In no particular order, they are:
2014 Chevrolet Impala, in the main Automobile Building. The crisp, well-proportioned new Impala reclaims some of the model's original mainstream style with a chiseled, smoothly flowing shape and upscale interior. You won't see even a hint of rent car or police cruiser in the silver-blue Impala on display.
2013 Ram Heavy Duty pickups, outside the main Automobile Building in the truck village. Still possessing their jut-jawed, heavy-hauler exteriors, the new Rams get even more competitive with refined interiors and a load of new technology. When the trucks start arriving at dealerships early next year, Ram says they will have more torque, towing capability and better fuel economy than any heavy-duty truck in the full-size pickup segment — the best overall segment in the auto industry, I think.
2013 Ford F-150 King Ranch and F-250 Super Duty Platinum trucks, outside the Automobile Building in the truck village. More than a decade ago, Ford created the highly profitable "premium pickup" segment — which I'm writing about on Sunday — and struts its well-seasoned stuff with the new King Ranch and Platinum models. Both show how good Ford is at pickup design, giving its trucks polished, well-detailed exteriors and high-end interiors that somehow still look rugged.
2013 Toyota Avalon, in the Centennial Building. The upscale Avalon mid-size sedan is lower, sportier and far more attractive than it appears in its promotional photos. Even in white, the big mid-size sedan looks surprisingly sleek for a Toyota and offers a first-rate interior smartly executed in black, brown and tan. Moreover, the Avalon's suspension has supposedly been tuned to provide better handling.
2013 Nissan Pathfinder, in the Centennial Building. All the world needs is another mid-size crossover/SUV. But the new Pathfinder combines a bunch of compelling virtues. Now built on a car-based platform rather than an old-school truck frame, the Pathfinder should ride smoother, has three rows of seating, a 260-horsepower V-6 that can tow up to 5,000 pounds and is capable of averaging 26 miles per gallon.

The appealing options are endless, and this Cleopatra costume is evidence that you can look your best in a look that is timeless! As soon as you enter the party, heads will turn and they will have to bow down as you show off in your sexy Halloween costume. This enticing Egyptian outfit features a tight fitting turquoise colored dress with a pleasing shimmer. The short skirt ends in a straight hem, high above the knee so you can show off your desert tan! The curve hugging bodice includes a basic design with a stylized, circular embellishment at the center. This unique addition consists of three cascading circles outlined in glimmering gold. The top circle winds around an opening in the dress for just a little peak at what is underneath all that sensual tight knit beauty! A pair of vinyl wrist cuffs is included with a matching arm band, all in rich gold. This womens Halloween costume also includes an Egyptian style headdress with dangling beads, the perfect accessory for a royal appearance. Find your favorite gold sandals, or paint an old pair, and you are ready to walk like an Egyptian.
