If you are flying LOS (line of sight) and need a monitor to frame up your shots this FPV LCD is perfect. If you want to fly FPV (first person video) this FPV LCD screen is also great for that.
After I started flying FPV with my Phantom I really wanted a nice LCD to use. I was on the phone with Mark from 2DogRC and he said he had just received some new 7" LCD screens. He sent me one and I immediately put it to use.
Out of the Box - The first thing I was happy to see was the sun screen that doubled as a protective case. This is a must when you are out in the field. The image was crisp and the dual receivers worked well.
RX x 2 - Offering true 5.8GHz diversity, this device features automatic antenna switching to provide the best reception possible.
2 Different Antennas - IBCrazy from RCGroups sent me a set of his Blue Beam clover leaf antennas. The stock antennas were fine but I knew the BlueBeams would do an even better job. On channel one I ran the clover leaf antenna and on the other I ran the 5 Turn Helical 9.5 dBic. The Helical is very directional and might be better suited for goggle use but I wanted to try it. The diversity receivers on this LCD are great because they allow you to get long range with one antenna and a wide field with the other and it switches automatically to the best signal.
NOSYNCOFF - In my video you can see what happens when this LCD looses a signal. It only went totally black when no signal was available but immediately showed the image again as soon as a signal was attained. There was no waiting around. The dual receivers also allowed it to find an image when one channel would drop out (as seen in my video).
Mark from 2DogRC has this to say about the RC701 - We have tested many different screens looking for an affordable and clear monitor for FPV! This model has many channels and is compatible with Fatshark, Immersion Boscom and many other 5.8 frequencies. Included are 2 whip antennas, and a canvas sheild/protective case. This is a very inexpensive way to start your FPV adventure!
Note - The OSD shown in the image above is from RC Logger. Look for an article about that soon.
The Ports -
Boscam RC701 AIO FPV Monitor Working Frequencies
Instructions -
1. Screw the antennas and then power the LCD screen. Power LED is on and RX1 and RX2 are flashing alternately. RF1 is to RX1 and RF2 is to RX2, better signal first.(See Figure1). RF1 and RF2 must be in the same Channel.
2. Plug AV cable to RF1 AVOUT and connect the other end to the Monitor, then you can see the signals from RF1. So does the RF2 AVOUT. RF1 and RF2 must be in different channels to avoid signal interference. (see Figure2)
3. Plug AV cable to any of the two AV IN ports, LCD will switch to the AV in Automatically.
4. Buttons (See Figure1)
Warning: - It is imperative to NOT power up this unit without antenna installed; if antenna is not installed when unit is powered up, the unit can be damaged.
Out of the box this had everything I wanted and more. The dual receivers were a nice touch. I really like that it runs on a lipo. The sun shade that double as a protective case was also something I appreciated. For me this was a great first FPV screen. Now I'm planning on building a ground station around this monitor in a TX case.

I will add a link in the article. That is the RC Logger OSD system. I should have an article on that in the next few days.
You can check pricing at this link:
They don't offer an FPV LCD without an rx.
You're right! I do have 8 dip switches on the back.
I am updating now.
On your video description on youtube you state "Are you looking for an LCD screen to fly LOS (line of sight) that won't break the bank?"
You do know LOS is not FPV piloting right? LOS flying is looking at the airplane and does not require an LCD screen. This is very misleading and I can't for the life of me figure out why you would make such an error unless you just got into FPV and don't know enough to be doing reviews..

Hey squishy
Thanks for the posts.
The whole concept is that I'm reviewing gear someone new to FPV would need. The whole FPV scene is pretty overwhelming and my goal is show other RC pilot's in my shoes the easiest way to get into it with some entry level products. I'm definitely doing my homework everyday and really having great time with it. Thanks for taking a look and giving your input.
Huh.... Squishy hasnt made any friends yet Go figure!
Thanks for the article Jim..... I have a 7" monitor and this gives me some ideas....
I have a DJI Phantom and a Go Pro 3 and would love to use that for FPV. Since I am new to this and will not likely use the low flight time of the DJI for any serious distance, I kind of thought a monitor may be the way to go as opposed to Goggles.
I know I need to buy a TX to go with this, but can I use the Go Pro for the flight camera AND still use it to take pictures? Is there a magic cable that I need to hook to the TX that will sen the signal back to this cool setup?
Yes there is a go pro cable. Yes it can do both. Not it's not really ideal.
And PLEASE make sure you can fly that phantom in manual mode before you starting adding complexity to your flying blender. I don't know anything about you personally but I do know the average phantom owner doesn't seem to ever leave GPS mode and eventually comes in here to complain about how their "defective" naza flew away on them.

West Ham chairmen issue message ahead of Man United clash: Listen up fans!
And in a joint statement on the club's website, Sullivan and Gold have asked supporters to remain in their seats after the final whistle.
They said: "We want it to be an evening that is ultimately about you, our loyal supporters, as it is you who have made the Boleyn Ground famous the world over.
"But to make it special we need your support. Any incursions on to the pitch will certainly mean cancelling the current squad's richly-deserved lap of appreciation and denying some of our greatest ever players the chance to take the field for the final time.

FOXBORO - Tuesday's practice was not a good one for Ryan Mallett. He threw an interception during the situational two-minute drill the team was running and seemed to struggle with accuracy throughout. Late throws into tight coverage. Low throws to receivers causing them to break stride or go to the ground to make plays. High throws inviting trouble. There have been too many during this camp, it seems.
On Wednesday, we asked Bill Belichick for more context. Bad throws and slow decisions aren't good, but what observers -- like the media -- don't know is the circumstances surrounding plays that go bad.
Is it something new to the player? Did something else break down somewhere else that impacted the play? Was the decision good and the execution bad or vice versa? Belichick stressed that those are important variables to consider.
"What you look for is the overall execution by whatever player it is of his assignment, technique, and what happens on the play," Belichick explained. "And as some people like to do, every touchdown is a great play, every interception is the quarterbacks fault. And unfortunately that's just not really the way it works. Sometimes we score in spite of ourselves, and sometimes quarterbacks do the right thing and there are breakdowns somewhere else.
"Sometimes our quarterbacks throw interceptions - like all of our quarterbacks have, like all our receivers have dropped balls, like all of our coaches have made mistakes in some play calling or substitiutions or something that we've done. So, the fewer the better, and the less costly the better. But that's all. That's part of it."
We frequently see players level off or appear to backslide in their second season. Tom Brady did in 2002. More recently, we've seen Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco and Josh Freeman do the same. The reason can be ascribed to the fact players already know what they can do. In Year 2, they are often learning what they cannot do.
"That's part of what practice is for, is to take risks, and to push it to see how far we can go, to see how much you can do," said Belichick. "Sometimes it's going to come up a little bit short, but if it's done in the right context then you learn from that and you realize 'this is how far I can go. I can't gamble beyond this but I can push it to this point'. But if you never push it to that point then I don't think you ever really know who far you can go. So again, that's what practice is for.
"And every interception in practice, or every play that doesn't get made in practice isn't necessarily a bad play," Belichick added. "We can all learn from those plays provided that we do learn from them and then apply it to a similar situation the next time. Particularly at the quarterback position. There are some balls that you try to sneak in there and you learn that you just can't do that. And then there's other times that you learn that, "Yeah, I can. There's times where this play is OK." And it'll work. There's other plays where you realize you can't do that And that's true with all quarterbacks. I'm not singling anybody out. I'd say everyone that I've coached -- particularly one that I've coached here for a long time -- we talk about that all the time. You can always make the safe throw, make the easy throw, I mean that's OK, but at some point you're going to have to do more than that and you better know what you can do and what you can't do. You better find out in practice before a game because you don't want to be doing that. That's not the time."
Belichick is a staunch supporter of Mallett's work so far.
"I think Ryan has improved significantly from last year," said Belichick. "I try not to get into those expectations, because who knows, guys progress at different rates. But I think what you're looking for is improvement. (The goal) is to see players go out there and perform, take instruction, coaching, film, individual technique work, whatever it is and the next time they get a chance to perform, it's better.
"Mistakes have been corrected now," said Belichick. "Inevitably new things will come up we'll change things and there'll be a new play and so you start all over again. It's a new play, it's a new read, it's a new situation, so we have to learn that one now too."
Mallett's performance -- especially when it comes to accuracy and decision-making -- pales compared to the other two quarterbacks on the roster. But Tom Brady is one of the best to ever play. And Brian Hoyer's strong suits are accuracy and decision-making.
Mallett is a different animal. He's a cannon-armed thrower who's trying to elevate the cerebral part of his game. He needs technical refinement to become more accurate. In short, he's not going to look as good as Brady and Hoyer doing some things, at least not at this point, Belichick seems to be saying.
"For any player, you want to try to make sure that the player is improving," Belichick said. "As long as he's improving, then you're not sure how far he can go. Once they stop improving for whatever the reasons are, once there is no more improvement then you have to decide as an organization what value that player has at that level. If you're happy with it and it's a good level, then great. If it's not and you don't think it's going to get any better then you have to live with that or replace the player with somebody else that maybe isn't as good that you think could be better."
At this point, Mallett's performance level may be fine for a No. 3 quarterback. By the end of this season -- with Hoyer heading toward unrestricted free agency -- will it be good enough to anoint Mallett as Brady's backup?
That long-view is probably more of what the Patriots have in mind. The mistakes, it seems, they can live with. As long as the reason for the mistake is learned and improvement is seen.
Belichick does not like repeat offenders. But at this point, the head coach remains a Mallett defender.

37 killers and five rapists escape jail
DANGEROUS criminals, including 37 murderers and five rapists, have absconded from prison in the past three years, it emerged last night.
Notorious paedophiles, kidnappers and robbers are also on the run.
Many disappeared while on day release or from open prisons. Some were working in charity shops or on work placements to prepare them for life out of jail.
Tory MP Philip Davies, who uncovered the figures, said: "People will be astonished. The public expects to be protected from serious offenders and the fact that so many can abscond is outrageous."
Ministry of Justice figures show 679 prisoners absconded between 2009/10 and 2011/12.
They also include 149 robbers, 15 guilty of grievous bodily harm, and three of attempted murder.
Justice Minister Jeremy Wright said the number of prisoners absconding was at its lowest level in 2011/12 since records began. He added: "Of those who do abscond, the majority are quickly recaptured."


text: I made a bass from a Saga P-bass kit and I truly love it. It's played great and has surpassed all the other basses I own, probably because of my attachment to it. I've recently started a project with a friend that's in G, and I've thought about using this bass for it. It has Dimarzio Model P's and a Hipshot bridge. I've not typically heard Fender style basses used in low tuned bands but I really do not like how active pickups sound. So basically I guess I'm asking if this has the chance to sound decent? I plan on purchasing some Circle K strings and a new nut to compensate for the tension. Please no comments of "fundementals" or "you can't even hear NOTES". This is not intended for clean, pristine pieces. It is intended for filth. I just want to know that it won't sound weak.

Ambitious Plan for China's Water Crisis Spurs Concern
A lengthy article by Edward Wong in the New York Times looks at the various issues and complications surrounding the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, a massive and risky project to help resolve the severe scarcity of water in northern China: The engineering feat, called the South-North Water Diversion Project, is China's most ambitious attempt to subjugate nature. It would be like channeling water from the Mississippi River to meet the drinking needs of Boston, New York and Washington. Its $62 billion price tag is twice that of the Three Gorges Dam, which is the world's largest hydroelectric project. And not unlike that project, which Chinese officials last month admitted had "urgent problems," the water diversion scheme is increasingly mired in concerns about its cost, its environmental impact and the sacrifices poor people in the provinces are told to make for those in richer cities. Three artificial channels from the Yangtze would transport precious water from the south, which itself is increasingly afflicted by droughts; the region is suffering its worst one in 50 years. The project's human cost is staggering — along the middle route, which starts here in Hubei Province at a gigantic reservoir and snakes 800 miles to Beijing, about 350,000 villagers are being relocated to make way for the canal. Many are being resettled far from their homes and given low-grade farmland; in Hubei, thousands of people have been moved to the grounds of a former prison. "Look at this dead yellow earth," said Li Jiaying, 67, a hunched woman hobbling to her new concrete home clutching a sickle and a bundle of dry sticks for firewood. "Our old home wasn't even being flooded for the project and we were asked to leave. No one wanted to leave." In addition to forced relocations, the project has a ...

Module conditions bridge sensors
Post a comment
Data-acq start-up Scalar Acquisition Technology (Livingston, Scotland) announces its first signal-conditioning module for bridge-type sensors. The board is designed to power and signal-condition most strain gauge or piezoresistive sensors, configured as single-, half-, or full-bridge types.
Scalar Acquisition Technology's 3U-sized module provides sensor supply, zero, gain, and calibration functions. It ships with National Instruments's popular LabVIEW configuration software.
Constant-Voltage Excitation
Dubbed the SAT-SSC2, the module provides constant-voltage excitation and conditioning for 1-, 2-, and 4-arm resistive bridges. Under computer control you can set gain, offset null, excitation voltage, digital shunt calibration, and whether it's to be used in a full-, half-, or quarter-bridge configuration, using precision configuration resistors.
In operation, automatic bridge balancing copes with a wide range of bridge imbalance conditions, maximizing dynamic range.
The SAT-SSC2's programmable constant-voltage excitation can source up to 10-V. Dedicated remote-sense lines permit the excitation supply regulator to deliver an accurate voltage to the bridge. Gain is programmable in a standard 1, 2, 5 sequence, from 10 to 10,000. The system's frequency response extends up to 600-kHz, supporting high speed sensors. Designed with a noise floor of -96-dB, the SAT-SSC2 is suited for use in 16-bit data acquisition systems.
Low drift, Low Noise
The SAT-SSC2's input stage is also designed for low DC drift and low noise. It also includes provision for a lowpass filter for frequency and noise shaping. Over-range circuitry on each channel is also included. It can alert you to over-voltage conditions. Input connections are made via on D-type connectors, with provision for twisted pairs as well as shielded cabling. That ensures maximum noise screening and supports separate shunt calibration leads.
On the output side, the module's outputs are buffered, and tout high current-drive capability. That can be useful when driving long cable runs and A/D input stages in data-acq units.
For ease of system integration, the SAT-SSC2 can be supplied, ready assembled in a 3U rack-mount system with outputs using BNC coaxial connectors, or D-type connectors.
Turnkey Data-Acq
Scalar says it can also provide a fully integrated, Web-enabled bridge sensor acquisition system that can be operated from PCs, Apple MACs, or Sun workstations.

Maintenance CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable. To keep your alarm in good working order, you must fol- low these simple steps: • Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button. • Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove accumulated dust.
Carbon Monoxide Safety Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure WARNING: Activation of the CO Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can kill you. 1) Operate the Test/Reset button; 2) Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911); PHONE NUMBER 3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors.
Carbon Monoxide Safety Replacement of Alarm Seven years after initial power up, this unit will "chirp" every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. A label has been provided that has "Replace by:" printed on it. Write the replace-by date on the label and affix it to the front of the alarm so it is visible after mounting.
Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long- term exposures to low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term exposures to high levels. This Kidde unit has a time-weighted alarm - the higher the level of carbon monoxide present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered.
This early warning is possible, however, only if your Kidde CO alarm is located, installed and main- tained as described in this manual. This CO alarm is designed to act as a continuous monitor;...
Carbon Monoxide Safety Instruct children never to touch, unplug or otherwise interfere with the alarm. Warn children of the dangers of CO poisoning. CO alarms are not a substitute for property, disability, life or other insurance of any kind. Appropriate insurance coverage is your responsibility.
Carbon Monoxide Safety The following conditions can result in transient CO situa- tions.

The AT&T Call Servicing Center which has been operating in Athens since 1977 will close March 21, costing the community about 80 jobs.
Personnel at the center provide operator services through handling customer assistance for long distance telephone calls. The Athens facility, located on Prince Avenue between Sunset Drive and Hawthorne Avenue, is one of two - the other is in Ennis, Texas - that AT&T will close.
''We're closing this one and (closed) others in recent years because the number of calls that require operator assistance have been dropping steadily for several years,'' explained David Arneke, public relations director with AT&T's Greensboro, N.C. office. ''We don't need as many operators to help make people's calls; there are a lot of options that don't require operator assistance now.''
Arneke said rapidly advancing technological trends in the telephone and communications industry have enhanced the ability of consumers to make calls without operator assistance. Direct dialing, automated service, toll free options, pre-paid cards and cellular service all contribute to the lessened need for operators.
Dramatically reduced prices for long distance calling have also decreased the need for person-to-person and collect calls, Arneke said.
The employees at the Athens center were ''informally'' told in November about the closing, Arneke said. Official notice was given in January.
''Our policy is to let employees know 60 days in advance about situations like this,'' Arneke stated. ''We actually let them know more than four months in advance.''
At one time the center employed more than 100 people, but through attrition in the past year the number had been reduced to 83 as of November. Arneke said the number is probably slightly lower now.
Regarding those workers who will be with the company when the center closes, about 19 so far will transfer to another job with AT&T, Arneke said. AT&T has several facilities in the Atlanta area. He also said a number of the Athens employees are eligible for retirement and expects a percentage of those to take advantage of that option.
Other options include a severance payment based on years of service, and a variety of retraining programs, Arneke noted.
A manager with the Athens center was contacted but referred all questions to AT&T's public relations department.

Clearly, "Him" was a music lover! I'm sure he could tell you if the violinist was Alan Loveday, Jascha Heifitz, or Arthur Grumiaux and if we has playing a Strad, a Guarnerius, or a Guadanigni!
Sorry; clearly someone only interested in selling gear.
I can tell you that that was not the experience I had with the brilliant loudspeaker designer, Andrew Jones of TAD, serving up the tunes in the TAD room.
Good seeing you at the show.


text: The Wave Pictures are an english band consisting of David Tattersall (vocals & guitar), Franic Rozycki (bass guitar) and Jonny Helm (drums). Susan Rode The Cyclone is their fourth official album release and their second for Little Teddy Recordings. The Wave Pictures do not tire of playing their contagious cheek on whatever stage allows them to do so, in fact they make the most of the quiet moments between touring to go into the studio and come out with a collection of cheeky and playful songs in which folk and pop come together completely naturally. Still not satisfied with recording the brilliant "Instant Coffee Baby" (2008) and "If You Leave It Alone" (2009), now "Susan Rode The Cyclone" (2010) confirms they are in top form with its stripped-down sound and witty lyrics, the scratching guitars, the overwhelming choruses.

Despite Pete Carroll and John Schneider's insistence that things are fine, most are forecasting more doom and gloom for the Seahawks' offensive line in 2016.
One of my favorite scenes in "Naked Gun" features Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebin, trying to shoo along a crowd that has gathered in front of a fireworks factory.
"Move on, nothing to see here, please disperse,'' Drebin calls out, while behind him the edifice blows up in a spectacular and fiery explosion.
It reminds me of Seahawks management, which is steadfastly telling the assembled skeptics to move along, because there is nothing to see with regards to the Seahawks' offensive line.
While almost everyone else forecasts gloom and doom — and perhaps the season going up in flames because of an inferior line — Pete Carroll and John Schneider are countering with soothing reassurance. But unlike Lt. Drebin, Carroll and Schneider have a track record that makes you take what they say with thoughtful consideration.

Their message can be reduced to two points that are hard to argue with. The first is, the start of the season is still about six months away. What you see now may not be what you get in September, so hold off on premature panic.
We'll get to the second point in a bit, but here's a quick review. Thus far, free agency has resulted in two starters (Russell Okung and J.R. Sweezy) departing, and two seemingly uninspiring replacement candidates (J'Marcus Webb and Bradley Sowell) arriving. All the big free-agent names have landed elsewhere, as the Seahawks continue to prioritize other areas of their team for major expenditures.
Not too encouraging, but NFL rosters in March are fluid creatures. The Seahawks have pulled some surprising trades out of thin air before — like the one for Jimmy Graham last March — though salary-cap issues make an impact deal more problematic. The draft is looming April 28-30 as perhaps the last, best chance for Seattle to supplement its line.
It would be out of character, of course, for the Seahawks to address their most obvious need in the draft. They seem to delight in confounding the experts by going in a completely unexpected direction, but it seems like this would be an opportune time to be pragmatic rather than cute.
The Carroll/Schneider regime has picked just three offensive linemen in the first two rounds in their previous six drafts: Okung as their first-ever pick in 2010, James Carpenter in the first round in 2011, and Justin Britt in the second round in 2014.
Okung and Carpenter are gone, as are the three other starters in Seattle's Super Bowl win over Denver (including Max Unger, to New Orleans in the Graham trade), as is John Moffitt, and every other lineman they've drafted except Britt and a trio from last year: Terry Poole (fourth round), Mark Glowinski (fourth) and converted defensive lineman Kristjan Sokoli (sixth).
The current popular wisdom in NFL circles is that offensive linemen aren't coming out of college as well prepared for the pro game as they used to be. Because of the spread systems in vogue, linemen are lacking in fundamentals and must be re-trained for pro offenses. That theory also helps explain why there is a dearth of line talent throughout the NFL.
The Seahawks believe they have the best re-trainer in the business in Tom Cable. Which brings us, finally, to their second point of rebuttal: Trust us. And trust Cable, who has found his calling in cobbling together, and resurrecting, Seahawks lines.
Last year, for instance, the Seahawks' front five were pretty much a disaster for half the season. They allowed 31 sacks through eight games, then inserted Patrick Lewis for Drew Nowak at center and watched the entire unit step up. Just as important, quarterback Russell Wilson mastered a quicker passing game that helped mitigate some of the line's deficiencies.
The result: Sacks were cut in half (just 15 over the final eight games), the offense percolated (Seattle wound up third in the NFL in rushing yards, and fourth in total yards and scoring), and the Seahawks started winning — a 6-2 finish after a 4-4 start.
The more troubling footnote is that the line got manhandled in the first half of the Seahawks' playoff loss to Carolina, helping put them in a 31-0 hole from which they couldn't quite get out of. And it's hard to argue that the line hasn't regressed since then via attrition.
Actually, I'm sure Carroll would happily argue that very point. As Bob Condotta reports, Carroll was typically upbeat about the Seahawks' line during his appearance at the owners meeting in Boca Raton, Fla., Wednesday. He enthused about Gilliam's potential as a replacement for Okung at left tackle, and Glowinski's potential as a replacement for Sweezy at right guard, and Webb's potential as a replacement for Gilliam at right tackle.
"I think we're in good shape,'' Carroll said.
In other words, trust us to work it out in the end. Trust Cable to make the pieces fit. Trust Wilson to blur the mistakes.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
But check back in September.

WOSTER: Revolution on the river
To tell the story of the Airhead water-fun towable tube, I must go back to the beginning of time.
Back in 1973 or 1974, Nancy and I went on our first weekend camping trip up the Missouri River to Okobojo Creek. We hung out with two couples who became some of the closest friends we will ever know, learned to water ski (yup, at age 30 and after growing up along the Missouri, I finally learned to ski), decided to buy a boat and changed the course of summers forever.
In those days, folks who used the river either camped and fished or camped and skied. The couples who took us camping didn't fish, but they did ski. We'd ski one at a time, sometimes as doubles or triples. When the spirit of adventure took us and the children were growing old enough to all slalom ski, we'd ski with six, seven, eight or nine members of the three camping families gliding along behind the boat. That took planning, and if anyone fell at the start, it took patience to untangle seven or eight ski ropes, but that was part of the adventure.
A time or two, the kids found an inflated inner tube for a truck or tractor tire, and we'd lash a ski rope to that and pull the younger ones around the lake. One lazy afternoon, we found a big, flat square of plywood, and the adults took turns riding it, three at a time, across the surface of the Missouri. It took a certain amount of skill and a bit of technique-learning, but it wasn't that difficult.
Well, my kids and the children of our two camping couples grew into pretty fair country water skiers, and mostly that's what they liked to do when we had a river afternoon or weekend. Then came the revolution, and I never saw it headed my way.
Remember those old inner tubes we sometimes used? Some enterprising schemer took the basic concept, covered the rubber bladder with a decorative cover, added a couple of handholds and a hook for the tow line and began marketing towable tubes. First thing I knew, the grandkids and the grandkids of the other camping couples wanted nothing to do with water skies. It was all about the towable tubes.
Thing is, if you've ever driven a boat and listened to its motor as you pulled a couple of skiers and then did the same thing as you pulled a towable tube with two or three kids on it, you'll understand me when I say it's the difference between hitching a high-spirited trotter to a racing surrey or hooking the poor animal to a plow. With a skier or two gliding behind, the boat races across the surface, its motor thrumming contentedly. With the towable tube, the boat wallows along, the motor lugs down, whines and moans, and you just want to take the poor thing back to the barn, wipe it down with gunny sacks and feed it a bag of warm oats -- figuratively speaking, of course.
To keep the young ones happy, we bought a couple of those towable tubes, the flat kind that require the riders to lie on their stomachs and pound over the waves. True, our granddaughters soon learned to jump back and forth from tube to tube and to shove each other off until only one remained afloat, but still, it was mostly lying down and pounding along.
Nancy upped the ante when she saw a huge Airhead tube with a sturdy back, a 9-foot wingspan and a cover painted with the design of a shark's teeth. It won't fit in the boat for travel. It won't fit in the back of my pickup for any reason. It's impossible to store anywhere. It takes up half the garage, and when it's loaded with riders, it makes the boat motor sound like a sick cat.
I truly hate the thing. Except ... except that when the grandkids and their friends are on it, their smiles are wider than Oahe Dam and their eyes are brighter than the summer sun. I'd tow it all day for that.

A Marrero man was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison for sexually abusing a teenage boy he met in Chalmette and drove to an Avondale rail yard, where he had the youth perform a sex act. Byron Johnson, 44, closed his criminal case in Jefferson Parish by pleading guilty to sexual battery, indecent behavior with a juvenile and failing to register as a sex offender.
By the time he was arrested Sept. 11, Johnson already had a lengthy history for offenses involving minors, authorities said. When he was 21 years old in 1989, he pleaded guilty to two counts of molestation of a juvenile, for abusing a 7-year-old boy and an 8-year-old boy, 24th Judicial District Court records show. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
Thursday's guilty plea stems from his luring a 14-year-old Chalmette boy into his 2005 Chevy Impala on Sept. 11, in offering to give the boy a ride home from a store, the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office said in announcing the arrest.
Johnson had met the teen the day before in Chalmette. At the time, Johnson worked for a garbage disposal company that has an office on Paris Road near the Mississippi River ferry terminal in Chalmette. In an affidavit, police listed his job as a "garbage man."
Johnson then told the boy he'd pay him to wash and detail his car, leading Johnson to cross the Mississippi River on the Chalmette-Algiers ferry.
Instead, Johnson drove the boy to an isolated area of a rail yard in Avondale. A Union Pacific Railroad police lieutenant noticed Johnson's car and struck up a conversation, according to a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office affidavit.
Johnson told the lieutenant the youth was his son. As Johnson drove away, the lieutenant realized that Johnson was black and the youth was Hispanic, and so he stopped Johnson's car.
It was then that the teenager said he lived in Chalmette, and that Johnson drove him to the area and showed him pornography and had him perform a sexual act, according to the affidavit. The lieutenant notified the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
The teenager later told Sheriff's Office Detective Jason Rivarde that Johnson offered to teach him to drive and at one point had the teen climb into his lap. Johnson then fondled the boy. The boy moved back to the passenger's seat, where Johnson had him perform the sexual act. The boy told Rivarde he feared the much-larger Johnson and so complied with the man's wants, according to the affidavit.
In accepting the plea deal Thursday, Judge Lee Faulkner of the 24th Judicial District Court sentenced Johnson to five years for failing to register as a sex offender, 20 years for sexual battery and seven years for the indecency charge. Faulkner ran the five years consecutive to the 20 years, and ran the seven concurrent with the other sentences.
Additionally, Johnson will have to register as a sex offender for 25 years after he's released from prison.
The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office said in September it also planned to book Johnson with second-degree kidnapping, but the status of that case was not clear this morning.
"Mr. Johnson's matters in St. Bernard have not been resolved," his defense attorney Michael Kennedy said. "At this time I am not aware of any decision having been made regarding if those charges will move forward or not. St. Bernard has had an active warrant for Mr. Johnson this entire time, but based upon the sentence he received, St. Bernard could decide that funds could be better spent elsewhere rather than on trying a man who is already serving 25 years. That is of course however within the power of the district attorneys office, if they wish to pursue the matter."

Highly ranked teams don't often travel to San Diego State's Viejas Arena, and the Aztecs will try to make the most of this rare opportunity Thursday night when they host an Arizona team coming off a strong effort in its last game.
San Diego State (1-0) will play a top 10 team at home for the first time since Jimmer Fredette and No. 7 BYU won 80-67 on Feb. 26, 2011. Sixth-ranked Arizona, however, is the first non-conference team with such a lofty ranking to visit the Aztecs since it posted an 89-81 victory in San Diego on Dec. 7, 2002, as the No. 1 team in the country.
Arizona (2-0) is playing its first road game of the season after rolling past Long Beach State 91-57 on Monday night. Freshman Alan Gordon had 14 points and 10 rebounds for his second double-double in as many games for the Wildcats, who will also play in the NIT Season Tip Off in New York and at Final Four participant Michigan as part of their non-conference schedule.
"We've shared the ball really since we came together in late August, early September. We have a really unselfish group," Wildcats coach Sean Miller said. "We are good in the open court, and we have to keep it that way. The more opportunities we give ourselves, that's when we are at our best offensively."
Gordon has shown no hesitation in making the transition to high-major college hoops, shooting a combined 11 of 19 while staying out of foul trouble. He is the focal point of a team that features a balanced attack with five players averaging at least 10 points thus far.
"He's a great player," Aztecs forward Matt Shrigley said of Gordon. "He has a high motor and does a lot of good things for his team. He's a player you've got to watch out for and always know where he is on the court."
Duquesne transfer and point guard T.J. McConnell has taken to Miller's offense, dishing out eight assists Monday as Arizona has averaged 82.0 points on 58 percent shooting in the two victories.
While the Wildcats did emerge with a 68-67 win over the Aztecs in the final of last season's Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii, Miller remembers his last trip to Viejas Arena, a 63-46 loss on Dec. 12, 2009, he said "was probably a big of a whooping as I had ever taken since I was in about the second grade. They've had some players leave, but there is no doubt that it will be one of our most difficult games that we play this season."
For San Diego State - trying to reach a fifth consecutive NCAA tournament - to pull off the upset, it will need to defend the 3-point line. Arizona is hitting 43 percent from distance this season, and Gabe York is 6 for 11. San Diego State, which has won 40 of its last 41 non-conference home games, limited opponents to just 32 percent behind the arc last season, and held UC Riverside to a 1-for-9 mark in their season-opening 77-41 win on Nov. 8 as Xavier Thames had 15 points and four steals.
"We want to make the NCAA tournament. If you win a game like this, we will have a resume builder for the tournament," Aztecs coach Steve Fisher said. "I'm glad we have them at home because our crowd will be an immense help to us."
Arizona leads the all-time series 21-7, and last season's victory snapped a two-game skid to the Aztecs.

Oh, Twitter. You can be so silly sometimes. Take what's recently happened with the Nature Valley Twitter account, for example.
Back in April, someone made a joke about Nature Valley granola bars—and Nature Valley's community manager Jess Wangsness responded:
Later, Nature Valley tweeted this:
And boy, did people start flooding them with anime granola tweets. It's kind of hilarious. Here's a small selection of some of the tweets people have been making (and that Nature Valley has retweeted) which pair anime or Japanese games with granola:

A friend posted a question on Face Book: "What do you think? Should pastors, out of concern for the poor, preach against the immorality and poverty-creating policy of Obamacare?"
I felt compelled to respond. The question of if and when to preach politics from the pulpit is not new. Preachers of all political stripes have wrestled with this question for centuries, and all of us must eventually come to terms with how the Gospel impacts our politics and vice-versa. To this end, I responded to my friend as follows:
The challenge with preaching politics from the pulpit is that, often times, the left and the right are each driven by Biblical principles weighted differently. For example, the immigration debate cannot escape the tension between the rule of law and the dignity of all people created in the image of God. The welfare (Obama care?) debate exemplifies the tension between Christ-like mercy toward the truly needy and our responsibility to work if we want to eat (and take responsibility for our lives and families).
It is instructive that European Christians often lean to the political left, while American Evangelicals often lean to the political right. This suggests to me that perhaps the latter are more shaped by right-wing political philosophy, while the former are more shaped by left-wing political philosophy, as each emphasizes the commensurate Biblical principles that support their political context. I believe this tension is a good thing, and actually drives us back to Jesus, the Peacemaker, who is telling a story that cannot be fully expressed or contained in left-wing or right-wing political theory or practice. This is why I preach Jesus, embrace the tensions, and let the unified diversity of the Church reveal the glory of God in Christ who is Lord over all.
This is not a cop-out. On the contrary, this approach will keep us from the idolatry of whatever political context we boast in. Moreover, by pressing into the genuine tension between the Biblical principles driving our disparate political views, we are forced to hear one another more clearly, which will compel us to love each other more fully. Through this process, God will reveal our biases, make us aware of ALL that concerns Him, and compel us to find true unity, not only with those who agree with our politics, but with all who share our common life in Jesus Christ, who will one day abolish all political parties to rule as our risen King!

It looked a lot like a rock concert except for the priests pushing it up and the partying nuns moving to the music.
Friday morning's events were part of the pro-life March For Life rally and Mass For Life. They were meant for young adults and children. Pictures of aborted fetuses were replaced with worded signs warning of regret after abortion.
It's the kind of delivery that's catching on.
"I feel like it's just celebrating life and it's so exuberant and such a great experience," said pro-lifer Emily Chamberlin, 18.
All the tickets for the rally were distributed almost immediately. More than 17,000 teens from around the country were there.
The rally also marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a law that existed lifetimes before many in the crowd. Kids who attended said being there gave them strength to carry on their fight.
"Sometimes it's hard, like you don't want to be different. You don't want to stand up and say, 'This is what I believe,' but you really have to," said Joseph Scholley, 18, of Fairfax. "You have to say, 'This is important for me,' you have to say, 'This is what I think.'"
The annual March for Life kicked off with a rally on the National Mall. The protesters then marched down Constitution
Avenue to the Supreme Court.
Road Closures Scheduled for Rally:
Several downtown streets were temporarily shut down for the March for Life events, which have been taking place every year since 1974. Fourteen Metrobus lines are also being rerouted due to the rally.
From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., these roads were closed:
- 7th Street between I and F streets, NW
- F Street between 7th and 10th streets, NW
- 10th Street between F Street and Constitution Avenue, NW
- Constitution Avenue between 10th and 12th streets, NW
- 7th Street between Constitution Avenue and Jefferson Street, NW
- Constitution between 7th Street, NW and First Street, NE
- First Street between Constitution Avenue, NE and East Capitol Street, SE
The D.C. Department of Transportation says it expects heavy pedestrian traffic throughout the day, including after the events conclude around 5 p.m.
Minor traffic delays are also expected on Independence and Constitution Avenues, as well as roadways near the Smithsonian, L'Enfant Plaza and Federal Triangle Metro stations.
In addition, Metro says customers using these bus lines should add additional time to their travel:
- From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 22, Metrobus routes 32, 34, 36, 42, 54, 63, 64, 70, D6, P2, P6, S2 and S4 will be detoured due to street closures at F St., NW, 10th St. Constitution Ave., and 12th St. to the National Mall.
- From noon to 5 p.m., Metrobus routes 32, 34, 36, 54, 70, 96, P2 and P6 will be detoured due to street closures at 1st St., NE/SE, between Constitution and Independence Ave.

RESTON, Va. (WUSA9)--In these dog days of summer Washington metropolitan area commuters are catching a reprieve. Buses and trains are less crowded than usual. The heart of the August vacation season and the congressional recess are offering congestion-weary travelers a break before the post-Labor Day crush comes down on them.
In this friendlier commuting climate the Silver Line is starting to shape traveling patterns in Northern Virginia, however tentatively. Three weeks after the first rush hour train departed the Wiehle-Reston East station, people are adjusting to new commuting times and costs, determining if the $3 billion rail line and related bus routes work for them.
For some, the answer is already in: the Silver Line is not an improvement.
MORE: Tell WUSA9 What Is Driving You Crazy About Your Commute
"You like to pay as little as possible, and now I am paying more. And you like to have a shorter commute so you can spend more time with your family, and now I am spending more time commuting," said Jim Spencer, a federal employee who lives in the Reston area and is now one of thousands of Fairfax Connector riders being bused to Reston to take the Silver Line instead of West Falls Church to take the Orange Line.
"That is the one comment I have heard from other riders. They wish there was the alternative of going to West Falls Church still," said Spencer, referring to the 11 Connector routes that no longer drop passengers off at the Orange Line station.
The change in the bottom line for Spencer and others who travel during the morning rush hour is significant: his peak fare from West Falls Church into downtown DC was $4.20. Now from Reston on the Silver Line he is paying $5.90. That equals $17 a week, or $816 a year.
Spencer said his commute (bus plus rail) that used to take 50 minutes now takes 59 minutes, meaning he will spend an additional 72 hours a year going to and from work.
"The only real alternative would be to drive in, or instead of taking the bus, to drive to a Metro parking garage – and that would be more expensive," Spencer said.
While Spencer is not alone in lamenting the increased cost and time incurred by being bused to Reston instead of West Falls Church, others say their new commutes are saving them time.
"It used to take me about an hour-fifteen plus minutes, once I got on the bus till I got off the Metro. Now it is taking me about an hour," said Larry Hamm, a Reston resident who commutes daily into D.C.
Commuters weigh their options based on a number of factors: cost, time, convenience, comfort.
To Hamm, who lives in a different part of the county than Spencer, the Fairfax Connector provides a 5-minute bus ride to Wiehle-Reston East to transfer to the Silver Line, a big improvement over his past trip.
"Convenience, convenience," said Hamm, responding to a question as to why he chooses the Silver Line. "There are a few times a month when I drive into the District and it's usually a hassle."
Fairfax County transportation officials say it is too early to draw conclusions about commuting patterns with the Silver Line in its infancy, having launched in the quietest time of the year when kids are off from school and families are away on vacation.
Fairfax Connector ridership dropped six percent to an average 207,000 weekly trips in the two-week period ending August 9, down from the 220,000 weekly trips recorded in the same period the year prior. Officials caution that passengers are trying out the new routes and it will take months before ridership begins to stabilize.
More cars are being parked at the park and ride lots in the Dulles corridor, which include Reston North, Reston South, Herndon-Monroe, Sunset Hills and the massive underground parking facility at Wiehle-Reston East.
Year to year, the total number of parked cars has increased from 2,600 to 3,000/day, according to the Fairfax County Department of Transportation, up 15 percent.
The increase is believed to be the result of the additional 1,500 parking spaces in the corridor. Prior to the opening to the Silver Line, most of the park and ride lots were at or near capacity.
The Silver Line is also responsible for the large increase in rail ridership in Fairfax County: weekday Metrorail boardings have increased from an average of 28,828 in August 2013 to an average of 36,981 in August 2014 (28 percent), according to the Fairfax County DOT.
So three weeks into the Silver Line's operations, more people are getting to Metro by park and ride lots, while Fairfax Connector ridership is dropping slightly. Again, officials caution these changes alone do not account for the total Metrorail ridership changes at stations in central and northern Fairfax County.
When the Silver Line launched, entries at West Falls Church, Vienna, and Dunn Loring dropped by more than 6,700 during morning rush hour.
Positive changes have been noticed at the last three stops along the Orange Line. Trains are said to be less crowded, a combination of vacation schedules and the diversion of riders to the Silver Line. Empty parking spaces are more plentiful at West Falls Church.

I've already talked about 1963, the Alan Moore helmed, mid-90's Image comics series and I wanted to share one of my favorite chapters, the mind-blowing, reality-bending "It Came From Inner Space!" from 1963 Book Three: Tales of the Uncanny. Tales of the Uncanny was basically a riff on Marvel's classic Tales Of Suspense, with U.S.A. the Ultimate Secret Agent in the Captain America slot, and Hypernaut serving as the Iron Man stand-in. Hypernaut is a far weirder character though, and owes as much to Green Lantern and Legionnaire Wildfire, as you're about to see. This story also represents the first and only(?) artistic pairing of Sturdy Steve Bissette (Swamp Thing, Tyrant) and charmin' Chester Brown (Yummy Fur), an unusual but inspired choice. I like both artists separately, but I really liked this collaboration. I've always especially enjoyed this story for its surreal weirdness and playful subversion of dimensional physics. As with most of my reprints, this is long out of print, and as far as I know, there are no plans to reprint. And if they do reprint 1963, you should totally buy it anyway, as it is great, great stuff.
1963 is copyright Alan Moore, Rick Veitch and Stephen R. Bissette.
The Hypernaut, The Fury and N-Man are copyright and trademark Stephen R. Bissette.

PSCU Faces Possible Member Changes As More Members Become Banks
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - If the $161 million Sunshine State and $1 billion Lake Michigan Credit Union succeed in their attempts to change their charters they will be the second and third members of PSCU Financial Services members to do so and may force a change in the membership of the St. Petersburg, Florida-based cooperative. PSCU services the card accounts of over 500 credit unions that process their transactions with First Data Corporation and has occasionally been the subject of interest from community banks who have considered seeking membership, the cooperative has said in the past. However PSCU's focus on being owned, directed and run to help credit unions grow and succeed with their card portfolios has meant that the organization has never had a significant bank membership. But that might be changing. PSCU said that the first of its members to become a bank was the Credit Union of the Pacific, a Seattle-based credit union that became Sound Community Bank in December of 2002 and began business as a bank in June 2003. "That one was emotionally difficult for us since its CEO, Laura Stewart, was on our board of directors," explained Brian Crawford, chief marketing officer for the cooperative, "and of course she had to step down." She had to step down because while the former credit union could remain a PSCU member and keep all of its pricing and dividend arrangements intact, its CEO could not remain on the board of directors. "According to our bylaws, the board of directors can only consist of the CEOs of member credit unions," Crawford explained, "and through all the subsequent board discussions on the matter I have never heard anything that would lead me to expect a change in our policy. PSCU will still be owned and directed by credit unions and for credit unions." But Crawford also acknowledged that the addition of two more members seeking to become banks, particularly one as big as Lake Michigan CU, meant that the cooperative may actually start attracting bank members, a development to which the board has instructed the staff remain open. "Our board has been very clear," Crawford explained. "They don't want us to go out and hunt for bank business, but neither are we to turn it away if it walks in the door. If we can enter into a relationship which helps builds the cooperative's business and helps our member credit unions, then we are to consider it." And the chance that a bank might walk in the door offering exactly that sort of business only seems likely to increase with time should Lake Michigan, in particular, become a bank. The $1 billion credit union received patronage of more than $600,000 from its PSCU card services in 2003, according to the credit union's charter change application with the Office of Thrift Supervision. While the credit union didn't indicate how much of that came in cash, Crawford said that the cooperative pays out 25% of its patronage in cash in the one year and the rest later. More banks may become interested in PSCU if it becomes better known how much of a good deal the cooperative provides its members. "We have long stressed high quality service, aggressive pricing and the dividend advantage," Crawford said. "We don't plan to stop doing that." And he acknowledged those elements might lead other banks in Lake Michigan's market to seek the same deal should Lake Michigan start to compete as a bank. At the same time Crawford acknowledged what a sensitive issue it was for the cooperative. "We have people who want us to remain with only credit union members and to serve nothing but credit unions," he said, "and we have people who don't particularly care what sorts of institutions we serve. But no matter who we serve, we remain credit union owned, directed and committed to helping credit unions grow and succeed," Crawford added -

And Which is the best solution to edit TP files with Final Cut Express" Many friends has such similar problems
