Placement Assessment
Kent State University is committed to student success. An important first step is proper course placement.
Students are REQUIRED to complete all online placement assessments BEFORE arriving on campus to attend Destination Kent State (DKS). Online assessments are available for students who will enroll in spring courses in October and in April for students who will enroll in summer or fall 2013 courses. Online placement assessments can be found in FlashLine at flashline.kent.edu.
Placement assessments are designed to help academic advisors and students determine which courses will provide the best opportunity for success. Kent State University currently requires students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in English (Writing), Mathematics, Foreign Language, Reading and Study Strategies. Students can demonstrate their knowledge and skills through scores on ACT, SAT, and/or placement assessments. Please note that placement assessment scores will not be used to determine admission to Kent State University or any academic program.
The chart below outlines the specific placement method required for each subject area. Students without ACT or SAT scores will be asked to complete an alternative assessment during their visit to campus to meet with an academic advisor or attend DKS. For more information about placement assessments, click on the links below for specific subject areas. You can also review a list of FAQs.

I told someone I work with today that the official P/E ratio had
skyrocketed to 60. He said, "Oh yeah, you're a doom and gloom guy.
You ought to take a break."
It is like watching a slow motion train wreck. The markets have so much historic optimism, it is obvious that so many peoples attitudes are based on the last 20 years (maximum) experience.
These bulls (and other optimist) just CAN'T imagine anything else.
It is easy to see that once a crash finally happens, then many of these people will become perma-bears.
This really supports GD theory, in that personal experience is driving the decision process,
even the vast history of the great depression is dismissed as "a old paradigm" , now irrelevant.
Else where on this forum, it has been stated that earnings and P/E have no bearing on stock prices.
I guess the game is buy/sell profit only. After all only day traders ever buy stocks.
Apparently pension funds and other institutions only buy bonds?
My personal guess at this point is both the media and newsletters will use 3Q 2008 earnings until actual's improve.
Wonder if they have any idea it will be a long long time?

I absolutely love David, his personality, good looks and fabulous talents! However, I really miss Danielle and Ian. They really contributed to the show. What's up with the assistants on Color Splash Miami, they don't show any talent at all. I barely enjoy this show. I only watch it because of David. Why did HGTV make such a bad decision and change the show???? | |||
I absolutely agree! The Miami show is much less good than the San Francisco show because of the other people. I miss Danielle, Ian and I cannot remember the name of the excellent sewer, the English woman - miss her too! The Miami clients all seem to want the same thing, too -- ultra modern. It doesn't show off David's various abilities at different styles. | ||||
While I'd agree that there's very much a different vibe on the Miami show and I liked the SF version, I don't have anywhere near the animosity towards the Miami crew that others seem to. I love Gina -- I think she's a doll and Patricia and Stewart are growing on me. The biggest difference, I think, is that on the SF Color Splash, Danielle, Ian and Claire were given more opportunity to talk to camera, explaining technique and process, whereas the Miami crew is portrayed merely as supporting cast. I don't think it's entirely fair to them to infer from that that they aren't as talented as the SF crew -- it's the way the show is being produced. ------------------------------------------------ I've been around...well, all right, I might not have been around, but I've been....nearby. -from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" | ||||
I truly miss Danielle, Ian and Claire! I love David, too, and I will always watch whatever he's on because I think he is truly so talented and charming on-camera. But the old crew was soooo awesome with David. Not only were they great together, but they were so engaging with the viewers as well, with both Danielle and Ian giving great tips in every episode. I learned S.O. MUCH!! Meanwhile, with the Miami crew, I can't remember the last tip Gina or Stuart ever gave. But I am a fan of Color Splash, and even though I prefer the SF team, I still watch the Miami show. | ||||
I preferred the SF shows, too. Not only because I enjoyed that crew more, but because I liked the style of the homes and the color pallettes David worked with more. SF seemed more tuned in to the colors of nature, but the Miami shows seem to be all about glitter and glitz, and that doesn't appeal to me. Even with Danielle and Ian, I still don't think I'd be enjoying the Miami shows as much. Wonder if they'll move to different sections of the country in future seasons? I'd love to see some shows set in the southwest, or the Rockies, or New England, to see how David relates to designing for those areas, architecture and colors of nature there. | ||||
I wholeheartedly agree! The show is all but unwatchable with the Miami group. | ||||
I read that David was doing makeovers in NY, so I watched last weekend (it was the candy/toy store couple?) It was an improvement over what I saw him do in Miami and I caught glimpses of the old David. Great! But his assistants are still bringing him down. I can understand that he probably wants to show some loyalty to them after bringing them on, but he needs to cut bait because hardly anybody is biting now. He once responded to a letter from a fan saying that if the show ever went on the road, he and the team would come do the makeover...but it was his SF team. Since these cable TV "seasons" are so freaking short, would it be a pride-crusher to ask Danielle, Ian, and Claire to travel occasionally to do shows in different places like David is now doing? Would that be so impossible? Have too many bridges been burned? | ||||
I could not agree more. The new crew has made the show unwatchable. I want to see design, not a fashion show. Yet his assistants seem to think they are Cher with the constant costume changes that are totally inappropriate for the work they are supposedly doing. Danielle was personable and very talented. We miss her! | ||||
Maybe HGTV is listening. This morning I saw Danielle during a commercial break. She was showing how to faux paint some lockers. It was one of those 30 second sponsored things. If they've used her for this short segment, maybe there's some hope of her being back on Color Splash. | ||||
Roadtripboy, It may have been a clip from a Color Splash-SF episode. Were the lockers orange/red colored, and was it for a den space? If so, that was a show clip (if memory serves me!) If David can't or won't reunite with his SF crew, I would love it if Danielle and Ian got a show. But I'm afraid the HGTV do-it-yourself makeover genre is dead now. It seems like all you see now is designers shopping and directing contractors, and contractors directing sub-contractors. I guess the PTBs have decided if you don't have the money to hire a designer and contractors, then you're probably either homeless or you can't afford to do a makeover anyway.... | ||||
The "costume changes" are probably the result of several days, if not weeks, of taping being edited down to an hour-long show and who the bleep are you to say what's appropriate for their work? I probably ought to just start giving the Color Splash section a miss, because it's been overrun with judgemental prigs who only want to carp about how Gina and Patricia aren't boring, white bread Danielle. ------------------------------------------------ I've been around...well, all right, I might not have been around, but I've been....nearby. -from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" | ||||
Well, since you just can't seem to accept that most of us original CS fans would rather watch "boring, white bread Danielle" get down and dirty while demonstrating how to actually do a makeover than watch a couple of diva-wannabee groupies every week, then all there is to say to you is, "So long. You won't be missed!" | ||||
Catty is just your normal state of being, isn't it? ------------------------------------------------ I've been around...well, all right, I might not have been around, but I've been....nearby. -from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" | ||||
Weren't you the one who said, "I probably ought to just start giving the Color Splash section a miss...?" Honesty and directness is not "catty"! | ||||
Maybe not "catty" but I would say rude. Each of us has a right here to express our opinion and I don't see MsWH being "catty" or mean to those of you that seem to harbor such hate for Gina and Patricia. As has already been stated these 2 play an entirely different role than Ian or Danielle did on the SF version. They can NOT fill those shoes and it doesn't seem to me they are trying. If you all want instruction you should be talking bad about the new painter and carpenter because they are the ones that are Ian and Danielle's counterparts for the Miami show.This message has been edited.

remember producers think if you are not between the age of 22-29 you have no place in television. What 22-29 year old have money to renovate or just decorate a room. Half of them still lives at home or rent. They also think they should show their breast and tatoos. Remember how David use to take his shirt off all the time on Design Star, until someone finally said he needs to put his shirt on, they are not tuning in to watch his chest. | ||||
It's amazing the offense some people take when they simply have no reasonable, relevant reply to make. You -- and MsWH -- may just love David's new girlfriends, but most CS fans simply do not. And if you don't want a "rude" response here, don't come on here saying anything like "boring old white bread Danielle" -- as Ms.WH did! -- when you already admit that the replacements are only that, not equals and definitely not improvements!This message has been edited. Last edited by: iphoenix, | ||||
I so agree with everyone here ! The SF version of David's show was more interesting, showed David's diversity as a designer, AND Danielle and Ian were on it! David may live in Miami,a cool ,eclectic place for sure, but SF is THE inspirational place for Designers!! Come on David, spread your artistic wings and get off the Miami dull-drums of repedative designing!! WE ALL LOVE YOU !! | ||||
Please bring the show back that had Danielle an Ian back they could show you how to do something instead of before and after pictures. Nothing against the new crew just don't like the format of th show anymore. | ||||
Ian! He was great. Probably one of the best "on tv" carpenters on HGTV. I wonder where he went. | ||||
I miss the old show also. I agree with most that the SF show was better. However I do wish that David and his crew would go out and about. Help others on some kind of contest. The shows are being repeated here where I live and way to much of selling homes. I don't hink that has to do with helping others do things in thier homes. I really don't give a hoot where people want to buy homes. There should be a program on that alone. Decorating and crafts is what the HGTV was about in the begining. I love David and want to see more of his genius. | ||||
I also loved Color Splash, San Fran. Miami is really getting boring and overdone. The same old design, the same old location, and the style of design. I know the reason why David moved from San Fran to Miami, but he is a big star for HGTV so why could they not transfer his partner to San Fran. When is HGTV going to respond to any of these posts? | ||||

Hill Holder
In my personal experience, i have only encountered a "hill holder" one time.. about 50 years ago in a Studebaker. The 48-54 Hudson Parts book has several references to a Hill Holder.. Anyone have one on a Hudson?
Hill Holder was introduced by Studebaker in 1936 and by Hudson in 1937. I'm not sure, but I think it may have been available at least through the StepDown years.
I have seen one Hudson No-Rol kit (the trade name for Hill Holder used outside of Studebakers) on ebay a few years ago. They were, to my knowledge, a dealer offered item, but I do not know if they were a factory item or not. I have never seen one on a Hudson of any year. My '64 Studebaker Hawk has the Hill Holder option and my 2008 Subaru has such a device (although it is a somewhat different design, it still does the same thing).
Dogwood Chapter's Duke Marley had a '37 pickup that had one.
Hudson's of the 30's had factory hill holders and they are controlled by the clutch pedal when down and you stepped on the brakes and this locked the brakes. When you started to release the clutch the brakes were freed. Clutch pedal adjustment was critical. Walt.
Didn't Hudson offer that in 1930 - seems to me I've read a bulletin on the unit from that era.
Alex Burr
Memphis, TN -
On page 31 of the 48-54 Parts Manual top of the page, "Hydraulic Hill holder" Available as a kit for 48 thru 54. Seems like they listed all cars except those with power brakes. Perhaps it wasn't a production installed option? It seems like a darned nice addition if you lived in SanFrancisco or Pittsburgh! Somewhere there is a kit on a shelf.....I think it would be a neat but rare addition to a stepdown. I have never seen one on a Stepdown. Not much use here in the flat lands of Florida, but a conversation piece anyway.
WOW Subaru has a neat new item on their vehicles its called a HILL HOLDER LOL
Yes and toyota has a great new invention - a BUTTON on the dash to start the car. WOW what will they think of next ! ! ! And as far as thehill holder not appling to the power brake cars. That makes sense as the master setup is completely different,
RogerRetired Tech. -
My 37H8 has a functional "Hill Holder" and I use it and really like it a lot. It is so cool to set it and take your foot off the brake and not roll backwards on a hill. When you start to drive off the it releases very nicely.
Alex, I started with Hudson in 1934 and in Waterbury, CT. you had to have hill holders, as most new drivers would roll back and hit the car behind. No damage as those bumpers could take a15 mile and hour hit and just drive away. 1939 was the last year Hudson installed hill holders at the factory. Dealer item after that. Walt.
Up here in the Adirondacks, these would come in handy. Had one on the 49 Studie in the 50s. A while ago, Allen Walrath gave me a NOS still in the box. He got it from Prime Motors, Hudson dealer in Fort Plain, NY When I scrapped out the 39 LWB CC last year, I saved the one that was on it also. The NOS is slated for my 40 Victoria 8 coupe.
As you can see, it was made by Wagner.100_4156.jpg2048 x 1536 - 838K100_4159.jpg2048 x 1536 - 811K100_4158.jpg2048 x 1536 - 838K

The Power of Property
Thursday, April 19th, 2012History has proven over and over that Real-estate is the pathway to long term wealth. Any successful investor holds real-estate within their portfolio. As consumers we have access to 5 areas of retirement planning:
- Cash From Savings
- RRSP's
- Stock/Bonds
- Pension
- Real Estate
Only Real estate allows "leverage" or the ability to acquire large assets at a fraction of their true cost. Only real-estate allows us to take out "equity" with no or minimal tax implications to serve our future financial needs.
Mark Loewen, Royal Bank of Canada Revenue Property Mortgage Specialist, recently moved into an office down the hall from me here at ReMax House of Real Estate.
Have you thought about investing in real estate … but haven't quite taken the next step? Do you need help in getting over the hurdle … the decision … if it makes sense?
Set a 25 min consultation with Mark and I to see if Real Estate Investing is right for you.
I call this meeting… "The Power of Property".

Our FIT INSULATED PANTS make the scene because they have fashion savvy that can't be held back by a warning rope. Clean style with a kick of color, they're revved with breathable waterproofing and low-bulk Thinsulate™ insulation, and they're ready to shred the slope or just kick back with casual outdoor fun. These storm-skirt-ready winter pants are optimized with inner thigh vents and boot gaiters. (If you're looking for just a shell pant without insulation, good news: We also make a non-insulated version.)

Beyond the stage crew performing basic line checks to ensure that the instruments and equipment onstage are working properly, Tom and the band do not do soundchecks, which makes it all the more impressive when they deliver the kind of awe-inspiring performance like the second night at Milwaukee's Summerfest. These are the moments that remind me just what an amazing band the Heartbreakers are.
Arriving amid rapturous applause from the Summerfest faithful, Tom and the guys tore through the set which played like a soundtrack to the last quarter century: "Refugee," "Don't Come Around Here No More," "Free Fallin'," "ou Don't Know How It Feels", "I Won't Back Down," "American Girl," "Learning to Fly," "Breakdown"Njthe list just goes on and on. How many concerts do you attend where you know 90 percent of the lyrics to most of the songs played?
Even the new songs from Mojo have begun to work themselves into the hearts of Heartbreakers fans. "Good Enough" returned to the rotation in Milwaukee after a two-week hiatus, having been played last at The Gorge in Washington. Led by Mike Campbell's gritty guitar work, "Good Enough" is a searing blues rocker that is sure to make more appearances in the set lists as the tour progresses. For the second time this tour, Tom dusted off "Don't Pull Me Over," a reggae jammer that elicited clouds of smoke and howls of approval from Marcus Amphitheater.
Check back in the next few days for more video from Milwaukee!

Petty + Summerfest = WAY Cool
I was there on July 4, 2001, when Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fell in LOVE with Summerfest, and vice versa. This is one love affair that has never waned. Not one iota. Their two appearances there last June just deepened the mutual adoration. Tom, Mike, Benmont, boys: keep rockin' and keep coming to Summerfest. We'll leave a light on for ya.
Summerfest Milwaukee WI 6/26/10
It was great to see you and the band at the 2nd show in Milwaukee at Summerfest! It was a really good show! The last time you were here it was sold out and I was disappointed all the way up to this show! It was nice that you played 2 days here!!! Hope that you could come back to Milwaukee and do a longer set with all your older songs!!! You have so many good songs. It was also nice to see ZZTop again!

Another Awesome Show
Eddy Vetter was right, it's rock 'n roll heaven when TP&HB play Milwaukee summerfest. ZZ Topp as openers was extra special treat. It was all so awesome, I'm scheming to see if it's feasible to do a road-trip and see the boys again ... maybe Gator-country Tampa in September. We miss you HOWIE EPSTEIN.
front row
How the hell do you get front row seats or even section 2? I signed up for the highway companions fan club so I could get great seats. I went on-line as soon as the pre-sale tickets went on sale and I ended up with Section 3 Row 23. Those aren't bad, but they aren't as good as I want or would expect for paying to be in the fan club. Could someone please explain how you get seats in the pit?
Thank you !!
The show was fabulous ! My third time seeing
this AMAZING band TP & the Heatbreakers !
I cannot say enough to express my thanks and appreciation for a FANTASTIC NIGHT !
Loyal Fan 4-ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a weekend. Love Summerfest. I never miss TP@HB @ Summerfest. Mojo ROCKS. Section 2 row AA 1st night, section 3 row T 2nd night. I only wish I could get those front row seats. Petty is the MAN!!! Who's better than Mike Campbell or Benmont Tench III. Rolling Stone not having Mike Campbell in the top ten guitarist is a crime. See ya in Chicago.
Great show
Another great show from the Heartbreakers, thank you!
That sound...still hot...
after all the years and all the shows i've been blessed to see....once AGAIN the guys have surpassed all of my feeble earthbound expectations and catapulted our simple human creative souls light years forward and back again over and over. Thanks for the much appreciated transcendent voyage last night, Sat. June 26,2010 is timestamped in eternity for all to see
You guys are in your 60's?? What an amazing show. Tom Petty is as good as ever, the band is tight like no other and Mike Campbell is playing like he's 25!! Keep having fun, guys, and thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
last tour?
when have Tom or anybody else in the band said this is the last tour? i stay pretty up to date on all the news and i haven't heard that anywhere. just wondering....
Awesome Show!
You guys rocked Milwaukee yet again! Great selections from Mojo - Good Enough and I Should Have Known really kicked - and a great cross section of the "soundtrack of our lives"! I really dug Oh Well also. The entire band rocks and Tom and Mike, you guys are only getting better with time. Come back any time!!
Guys. I love your stuff. All of it. Doesn't make a lick of difference what you play, as long as you play it awesome. You know, like the way you always do. All I ask is that you play YER SO BAD just once, on Saturday. It's our song, and I'm bringing the better half to see you guys for the first time. PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU!!
Can't wait to see you guys up close from the third row on Saturday night! Love the new album, especially "Lover's Touch" and "I Should've Known It". Would love to hear "Angel Dream" or "It'll All Work Out" (never heard these live), but either way it's gonna be a great show!! Keep rockin!
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are legends. I am a huge music person and you guys have rocked my world since my big brother put an album on back in 1978, and it stuck. I was only 11 now 42 and your still my favorite. Seen you 28 time, road trip after road trip. Keep jammin my world boys.
RIP Howie! Thank God for Ron! The Heartbreakers are the best! I am blessed to be able to experience such powerful and spiritual music. Room at the top!
Please, if anyone in or around the band reads this. MELINDA. Please
It's one of the band's secret best numbers.
Please play it for a huge fan of the Soundstage set.
i should have known it
talkin' about the set list. WHY! on the last tour would you play covers? oh well
Scrap the playbook!
Play whatever the hell you want to play. Just make sure you check with me 1st. :)

NASA's rover Curiosity successfully carried out a highly challenging landing on Mars early Monday, transmitting images back to Earth after traveling hundreds of millions of miles through space to explore the red planet.
Scientists praised the landing Monday.
"This is a stunning achievement. The engineering went flawlessly," said Scott Hubbard, who was the first Mars program director at NASA headquarters and is now a consulting professor at Stanford University.
The 10 science instruments aboard Curiosity are in "perfect health," and testing and calibration are under way, NASA said Monday.
Some rover team specialists are analyzing the data from the landing, while others are preparing Curiosity for exploring Gale Crater, where it landed, NASA said. On its first full day on Mars, the rover is tasked with raising its high-gain antenna, enabling it to communicate directly with Earth at higher data rates. The primary method of transmitting data is through the orbiters, because that is more energy-efficient.
When asked whether anything had gone wrong during the landing, Jennifer Trosper, a mission manager with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said simply, "No."
"There's a lot ahead of us, but so far we are just ecstatic about the performance of the vehicle," she told reporters at an afternoon news conference.
She said the rover will start sending weather data Tuesday but some of the "exciting science" won't begin for about nine Mars days.
"It does take time to check out the vehicle," she said.
Social media sites were bubbling with posts from enthusiastic Earthlings on Monday. The rover even has its own Twitter account, @MarsCuriosity. It informs readers: "FYI, I aim to send bigger, color pictures from Mars later this week once I've got my head up & Mastcam active #MSL"
The $2.6 billion Curiosity made its dramatic arrival on Martian terrain in a spectacle popularly known as the "seven minutes of terror."
This jaw-dropping landing process, involving a sky crane and the world's largest supersonic parachute, allowed the spacecraft carrying Curiosity to target the landing area that scientists had meticulously chosen.
The mission control in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory burst into cheers as the rover touched down Monday morning. Team members hugged and high-fived one another as Curiosity beamed back the first pictures from the planet, while some shed tears.
At the news conference, NASA showed off some of the initial images, including one of Mount Sharp, which rises 3.4 miles above the floor of the Gale Crater, according to NASA.
"We can see more clearly these pebbles all over the ground," said Joy Crisp, a deputy project scientist with the mission. "We can see that it is very flat. ... There are no obstacles for driving [the few miles from the landing site]" to Mount Sharp.
Scientists cannot tell yet how easy it will be to scoop up the surface material, she said.
"I think the science team has a lot of work to do to figure out how were these materials put there," she said. "Was water involved? We don't know yet."
President Barack Obama weighed in on the historic moment.
"The successful landing of Curiosity -- the most sophisticated roving laboratory ever to land on another planet -- marks an unprecedented feat of technology that will stand as a point of national pride far into the future," Obama said in a statement congratulating the NASA employees who had worked on the project.
The scientific community reacted with a mixture of elation and relief.
"Rationally I know it was supposed to work all along, but emotionally it always seemed completely crazy," said James Wray, assistant professor at Georgia Tech, who is affiliated with the science team of Curiosity. "So to see all those steps being ticked off and actually working, it's a huge relief."
The initial images the SUV-size rover sent back to Earth were black and white and grainy, but one showed its wheel resting on the stony ground, and the vehicle's shadow appeared in another.
A camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured an image of the 2,000-pound rover with its parachute still attached as it made its way down toward Gale Crater. At that point, the rover was about two miles from the planet's surface.
The spacecraft had been traveling away from Earth since November 26 on a journey of about 352 million miles (567 million kilometers), according to NASA.
Curiosity, which will be controlled from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has a full suite of sophisticated tools for exploring Mars. They include 17 cameras, a laser that can survey the composition of rocks from a distance and instruments that can analyze samples from soil or rocks.

So, you have a brilliant product idea and you think Uncle Sam should fund it. I can't blame you. Compared to VC money, SBIR funding comes with relatively few strings attached. Most importantly: you don't have to give up any equity. So what's the catch? I'm glad you asked! One, the funding rate is low (typically ~15%), and two, the application process will make you cry and beg for mercy.
Filament CEO Lee Wilson recently wrote a post on his Education Business Blog encouraging readers to familiarize themselves with how the Common Core State Standards are expected to enhance the Gate's Foundation's push for individualized learning... as well as the Republican National committee's opposition to the "nationwide straitjacket on academic freedom and achievement."
Can educational video games be the next generation of assessment tools? A lot of people working in the field of educational video games think so. As Filament's Director of Research I've been thinking a lot about this issue lately!
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has a vision for students in future classrooms to learn through computers, simulators and face-to-face teacher instruction. The foundation announced that it would invest $20 million towards a variety of teacher tools and technologies.
Calling all innovative educators and game-based learning advocates! Filament Games is looking for the best lesson design that uses our award-winning middle school science game, You Make Me Sick, a game that teaches students how viruses and bacteria transmit disease. We are partnering with educational consultant, Andrew Miller, to hold our first ever Game-Based Learning (GBL) Lesson Design Contest!
Matt Haselton, Game Designer and Research Associate at Filament Games, teamed up with our Creative Director and Founding Partner, Dan Norton, to write a paper that concentrates on the strategy of integrating educational content into game mechanics. This paper takes readers through the design process while explaining how learning objectives remain as a focus. Click 'Read More' to view the paper in full view.
Filament Games and iCivics announced today that the Department of Education has awarded Filament Games two highly-competitive Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants. The organizations will be working in conjunction to develop two exciting innovations for online civics learning.
Justice O'Connor and the iCivics team were in Texas recently playing our games with students. Baylor University has worked closely with Waca ISD to bring iCivics to kids throughout the disctrict.
At the recent SIIA Ed Tech Industry Summit, Filament Games took home top honors at the bi-annual Innovation Incubator program. Filament Games was voted by 350 conference attendees as being the Most Innovative, and also runner-up for Most Likely to Succeed.

How To Hide an Airplane

"This Royal Air Force Curtiss P-40E Warhawk..." this P-40 has a USAAF star and circle, not a RAF roundel...

Thanks for pointing out the markings on the P-40 -- we've made the correction.

Your choice of illustrations of camouflaged aircraft left out what is for me the most effective scheme I have seen. That of a Messerschmitt Me 109E with desert camouflage in flight over North Africa.
This picture appeared in the Nazi Propaganda magazine Signal.
Posted by Peter Banks on October 25,2013 | 10:48 AM
I cannot see anything in any of these illustrations that would fool anyone with normal eyesight. Typical examples of the expending of Government money by inept people on useless projects proposed by people trying to justify their positions.
Posted by Dennis Riddle on October 25,2013 | 11:35 AM
for Dennis:
What is obvious in a still relatively close-up photo can be almost invisible in flight; just ask anyone who has been in a combat situation.
The same is true for an aircraft on the ground, especially if it is on (or just above) the ground but not on an airfield.
Search and Rescue pilots or observers flying at under 500 feet can tell you how hard it can be to see a plane on the ground and partially under a tree.
And ground observers usually had to rely on the sound of an aircraft's engines to find them.
There may be a lot of government money spent on useless "stuff" but camo definitely doesn't fall into that category.
Posted by Don Werve on October 25,2013 | 01:07 PM
Camouflage might work as long as the a/c is stationary on the ground, but is easily detectable when it is moving against the background, ie, desert camo over a desert.
A deer is very well hidden in its normal surroundings, yet easy to spot when it moves.
More difficult to detect when overhead and blended into the sky, but watch those turns and the a/c reflects the sunlight.
Posted by LynnB on October 25,2013 | 01:31 PM
Allies in WWI, did paint their crafts to match what was around. The Red Baron did the opposite, so his crafts wouldn't
be shot down by his own countrymen on the ground. But that
made him a good target when flying low for the Allies.
Posted by Ronald Wil;der on October 26,2013 | 11:21 PM
Camouflage may not always work, but even a 10 or 20 percent assist in some aspects is an advantage. Aircraft usually first appear as a speck and anything that makes it harder to see delays recognition. Remember, the one you don't see is the one that gets you.
Posted by Mike Lahey on October 27,2013 | 08:17 AM
I had the opportunity to fly in the backseat of an F-15 on an ACM training mission and can attest to the fact that the Air Superiority Blue is effective at making opposing aircraft difficult to see. However, there is one thing that will (and did) render it all mute - contrails.

Review will look at cuts, Pentagon strategy
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered a review of how steep military cuts that took effect this month might impact the Pentagon's overall strategy for deploying its resources globally.
Hagel instructed Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey to lead a group of civilian and military officials in conducing the review.
Last year, the Pentagon issued new guidelines on its future strategy. The blueprint called for shifting most of its emphasis toward the Asia-Pacific region while still keeping an eye on hot spots in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
The two-month review will help define major strategy decisions over the next 10 years, according to a statement from Pentagon spokesman George Little.
It will look at assumptions that guided the initial strategy shift and will build a framework that Hagel can turn to for making the next round of budget decisions.
The Pentagon is expected to absorb roughly half of $85 billion in government-wide spending cuts for the remainder of the fiscal year that took effect on March 1.

Although I smoke I always have no smoking as travel with family and, you make think me odd, I don't like the smell. The corridor to the room was foul, it stank of smoke, both recent and stale.

My stay was pleasant. You can tell the hotel is old, but, it was clean. I will stay there again!Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Close to many must-see sights!"
Overall my sister and I were very happy with the hotel room. The cleanliness of the shower in the bathroom could have been better but was not horrific. The room itself was clean and we were very pleased to find that our non-smoking room did not even have a hint of smokey smell to it. We've stayed in "non-smoking" rooms before that were definitely smoked […] in and being asthmatics that's just not a good thing. The beds were clean and very comfortable. I'd say the only thing to worry about is if you are a light sleeper then bring ear plugs because it sits right off the highway and there is some traffic noise at night but not too bad. Our favorite thing about the hotel though is it was extremely close to the Cumberland Falls State Resort Park and the Colonel Sanders Cafe and Museum which I recommend seeing both!

"Very disappointing"
Was disappointed with the room. The interior walls of the room were the same as the exterior. The air conditioning did not work well. Even after turning on high cool the room was still stuffy and remained so all night. The halls smelled of smoke. The room itself did not but we were next to a smoking room. They should separate them better. There was […] nothing to do in town but visit a WalMart. This seemed to cater more to truck drivers looking to get off the road for the night.

For the price, I am pleased with the conditions.

This is a dive motel just off the interstate, so don't expect much in the way of service or amenities. It is what it is, a motel next to a truck stop. Overall the building was clean (yet dated), but the area (next to an abandoned McDonalds and a truck stop) isn't exactly pretty. However, it is a stones throw away from the interstate so you can be back […] on your way quickly. The room was clean, the air conditioner worked well, the old TV had issues and the non-smoking room and nearby hallways had clearly been smoked in recently. For the price and location, it isn't a bad deal but it isn't a place I'll seek to return or write home about. The continental breakfast is a waste of time. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Motel needs improvement"
Hotel smells of cigarettes, and chair in my room was dirty. I found some cereal on the floor when I checked in. The breakfast has no fruit or protein to eat. The parking lot needs to be paved. The hotel is safe, and and the bed is comfortable.Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Needs upgrades but still OK"
Motel is in need of re-modeling. Caulk around tub was cracked and had been repaired so it just was kind of a turn off to look at. Toilet rocked on its setting. Would like to see them expand their breakfast selection a little. Staff was super freindly and courtesies.Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"It was OK"

"Frielndly service, restaurant next door."
Staff was very helpful and courteous. Day staff went out of their way to help with finding a good place to eat. Pets are welcomed. Rooms were clean. We needed adjoining rooms and when I made the reservations I asked for first floor since one of our group did not get around very well on steps. Signed in and was given the second floor. The young man at […] the desk apologized and switched us to the first floor immediately. Am going back down and will stay there again. I also left some personal items there. When I called to inquire and gave my name, the lady said they had found my Kindle and it was already in the office safe. Very friendly and helpful staff. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"super 8 in Corbin KY"
This exper ience was not a good one. We arrived late and have never had problems getting a rollaway bed before but were told we could not get one - if it had not been a holiday weekend I would have cancelled at that point, worst of all the guy at the hotel did nothing to try to rectify the situation he did not care. Then the hallway to the place smelled […] really bad. The free breakfast was a joke. So glad this was just a one night stop on our way to our holiday vacation. I strongly recommend avoiding this place! A very big disappointment. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"One night"
What the facility lacked in overall condition it more than made up for in the quality of the service. The building looks tired inside and out, seems to be maintained at the bare minimum. We asked for an upper room after the original lower-level room we were assigned did not meet my wife's minimum criteria because of the dankness of it. It smelled and […] felt like a basement. I'm sure that running the AC would've cured it, but my wife would have none of it. Our request was cheerfully, even eagerly granted and the upper room was quite satisfactory. We were amused by the art over each headboard. The only difference between the two scenic prints was a stain in one corner of one of them. But hey, we just needed a bed for the night and grub in the morning. Breakfast was just passable, but was being served by a lady who, like the woman who'd worked a double shift the day/night before, was sweetness personified. I'd return just for the hospitality of the two women we encountered who work the desk. They were absolutely delightful. As we were leaving, the owner was arriving and he seemed braced for something else when I stopped him to tell him how pleased we were with his desk staff. He was visibly relieved when he realized that that would be the extent of our dialog with him, almost as if he's used to somewhat more negative feedback. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

"Horror auf ganzer Linie"
Dieses Hotel ist es nicht wert, diesen Namen zu fuehren. Als erstes stimmte die Beschreibung der Lage nicht. In der Map ist es ziemlich weit entfernt von der Interstate. Als Resultat, es war direkt an dieser. Der Rezeptionist, in dreckigen Klamotten, war mehr als unfreundlich und ausgebildet. Das Zimmer war der Horror selbst. Dreckig, Flecken auf den […] Kissen, durchgesessene, zerfetzte Sitzmoebel, ein auseinanderfallendes, dreckiges Bad und fast undurchsichtige Fenster. Die Klimaanlage haben wir uns fast nicht getraut anzumachen, blieb uns aber leider nichts uebrig, es war zu kalt. Auf die Frage, was das waere mit den Kopfkissen, wurde mir nur gesagt, "normale Kopfkissen". Auf meinen verzweifelten Blick bekam ich nur zur Antwort " Jesus, its quiet OK ", aber ich koennte auch andere haben. Ich lehnte " dankend " ab, ich hatte den Vorratsraum hinter ihm gesehen. Das Fruehstueck war allerdings OK, reisst das andere aber keineswegs raus, da es auch nur ein kontinentales amerikanisches war. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

I am using a ReadyNAS nv unit with Domain integration and RAIDiator™ v2.00c1-p7 [1.00a014]. My Domain Controller is Windows Server 2003 and my Desktop is Windows XP Pro SP2.
If I create a new file on the nv unit share, the current date time will be stamped on the file and subsequent changes to that file will reflect the last modified timestamp. Even when I make a copy of this file and then modify the copy, the modified timestamp is recorded correctly on the copy.
However, when I modify any files that have NOT been created explicitly on the nv share (i.e. by copying from another network folder), the modified date/time as reported by Windows Explorer will not change.
Also I noticed that in both cases, the changed attribute [A] was not turned on for any modified files.
This is a serious bug as I have no way of telling what files have been changed since they have been migrated to the nv unit. I cannot depend on either the timestamp or the file-changed attribute as both have not changed.
I do not know if this bug occurs only with Domain integration. I post it here only because I am using Domain integration.

This is the most viewed YouTube video ever it is they smash hits in the US but now gangland style all the rapper behind it is set to perform at a concert the President Obama will attends.
-- Back in 2004 though -- her size is -- -- the United States calling for slow and painful death American soldiers and their families so.
Does he deserve such a privilege of playing for the press.
Mother of mark Allen -- the first navy seal killed in Iraq and president of America's mighty warriors getting Lee joins us this morning Debbie thank you so much for coming on our show this morning to talk about this.
You bet thank you so much for having me when you first heard about this White House Christmas special that's going to be airing on T and T I guess -- the you have written about for four days before Christmas and the president will be in attendance what was your worst.
I was disgusted.
To know that.
An individual who had called as you said for the slow and painful death of our troops and their families is in a place of honor.
And performing before our president was just disgusting to me.
How do we allow that to happen and how do we choose those as role models that get that honor this is someone that should be on a no fly Lester.
You know -- terrorist watch list for saying the things that he said it's just disgusting to me.
And -- we can't actually repeat the things that he said this morning they're too.
Vial and violence having said that this was eight years ago don't.
He says -- he was at the time expressing his anti war sentiment and by the way he didn't write the lyrics he was singing them a long.
We had the group that wrote them let me read to you he's apology and and here we think about -- this is from side he -- long grateful.
For the freedom to express oneself I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate I will be forever sorry.
For any pain I have caused anyone by those words it sounds like his position has evolved.
You know though that might issue with this this was years ago that he did this why did he not resolve it then why just all a sudden the day before yesterday.
Is he putting out this apology.
Because he knows that this could jeopardize his career and his sales in America to me again that's just another marketing ploy.
It's it's I don't see any value -- -- that many years later that he's doing this it's just to protect his career and his sales in America.
Got my reaction is yes there was this the first time we learned about this and I don't think -- most people knew that this song existed until you maybe if you just a few days ago.
What do you want to have happen now now all of the White House is aware of it now that TNT and turner broadcasting is aware of this this Christmas special what do you want them to do.
He needs to be pulled from the program I spent two hours last night.
Trying to get through to the White House and had a -- busy signal for two hours I could not get through.
There -- a petition that was posted by Kristen Taylor on Saturday about 10 o'clock in the morning hitting people that's fine to have him removed from that concert.
Five hours after that was up on we the people on our White House website it was removed because it didn't fit the scope.
Of the petitions on there and again for me this is just ahead.
Our president again who doesn't want to hear from Americans he doesn't support our troops and it just -- me that this continues to happen our men and women.
Are willing to sacrifice their lives for you.
For me for the freedoms that we enjoy every single day.
Just -- my son did and then we have someone like this individual who is called.
For the murder of our troops and our families being in a place -- -- -- that's disgusting.
Our White House needs to listen to us and they need to remove him from that program and of course lost in all of this debate.
Are this sacrifices that people like your son -- you tell us a little bit about mark.
You bet amazing young man -- young man stood out in the direct line of fire three different times that day that he was killed.
Defending his teammates.
Defending the freedoms that we enjoy in America he was 28 years old when he gave his life man with great sense of humor.
Lots of compassion.
Impacted so many -- he wrote -- letter.
Two weeks before he was killed that literally has impacted.
Millions and millions of people around the world and that's who he is that's his character he's been gone for six years but still impacting people all over the world.
And I miss him very much especially at the holidays that's a difficult time.
But I know -- the holidays we've got troops that are serving that are you know some giving their -- for you mean today.
And we need to make sure we don't forget our troops we don't -- families and especially the families of fallen.
No W we we we honor your sacrifice your family sacrifice and certainly the sacrifice of all the brave men and women out there.
Serving our country during this Christmas holidays well -- thank you so much for sharing your story with us this morning.
You bet Merry Christmas so all of our troops and their families got blessed thank.

Designed by course architect Gene Bates, Hunter's Point Golf Club's 18-hole, par 71 course channels the windswept charm of Britain's links-style courses in its lengthy, emerald tapestry of bent-grass fairways and greens protected by formidable hazards. Throughout the course, a king's guard of expansive waste bunkers, deep pot bunkers, and deadly quicksand bunkers stand ominously alongside landing areas and greens, placing a high premium on precise shots and astute club selection. The course takes duffers careening amid the towering scenery of the Owyhee Mountains and Boise Mountain Range, and Lake Lowell and its surrounding waterways provide both pleasing panoramas and intimidating forced carries. On the par 5 16th, a slight dogleg left spans 669 yards from the farthest tees and culminates on a green guarded by five bunkers and patrolled by a feral flagstick. The course's considerable length—it measures 7,093 yards from the back tees—is tempered by its inclusion of five tee boxes on most holes, including a Jack Rabbit family tee that reduces the course length by more than half for true neophytes and players experimenting with spaghetti-based club shafts.
With proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club and Idaho Select Player's Fund, BAM Jam incites three-on-three hoop wars between players of all ages and skill levels, with 142 teams playing on 22 courts its first year alone. Grab two buddies or half an octopus and take part as downtown Boise transforms into an eight-block, multicourt labyrinth of bracketed competitions, with divisions designed to evenly match third-grade female dribblers, men older than 40, teenagers older than 20, and elite adult and high-school players as all vie for netted glory. With a guaranteed minimum of three games per team, even ragtag Lilliputian trios can pursue quixotic competition in the city streets—all under the keen eye of the BAM Jam monitors, who keep conduct sportsmanlike and mischievous backboards from wandering off to the concession stand midgame.
At Shankz Glo-Par-Tee, larger-than-life dinosaurs, sea creatures, and volcanoes glow under black lights as guests play through 18 holes of miniature golf in the 6,000-square-foot facility. It can take about 30–40 minutes for players aged 3 and older to travel through the course's glowing jungles, underwater worlds, and prehistoric locales, and even longer when they're sporting Shankz's ChromaDepth 3-D glasses, which inhibit the wearers' ability to perceive the fourth dimension. In addition to mini golf, Shankz Glo-Par-Tee features a glowing arcade and themed party rooms where patrons can host birthday parties or private events.
Since 1953, Parma Motor Vu has kept American summers nostalgic with movie-viewing experiences under the stars. Recently released movies splash across the screen while movie buffs kick back in cars or post up in lawn chairs to bask in the evening breeze. Before film reels roll, guests can visit the snack bar for cokes, burgers, and chili dogs, as well as corn popped in the original machine from 1953.
Pyrrhic Paintball derives its name from an ancient Greek dance, one whose motions were intended to mimic the death struggle of two knife fighters. Like those dancers, the players on this dusty, urban-warfare field play-act modern battles, ducking out from behind particle-board barricades to get a bead on the opponents. But there's a second, better-known meaning to pyrrhic: victory achieved at great cost. Whether attempting to capture a flag, protect a VIP, or defend a base, anyone may be called to sacrifice themselves to a splattering of paint in order to ensure the completion of a team's objective.
With Alpenglow's one-day Call in Sick kayak- or stand-up-paddle-rental package, river riders traverse down the Boise River with a variety of down-river equipment, kayaks, and rafts. The package gives floaters the option of turning on a dime with any one-person flat-water kayak, stand-up paddle board, or enjoying the portability of an inflatable kayak. Although Alpenglow's rentals include paddles (for kayaks and rafts) and life vests, customers can opt to rent other equipment such as helmets, wetsuits, and repair kits for when the kayak gets a little scratch and asks for its mommy.
With a five-star rating as an instructor-development center from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), Dive Magic's aquanauts impart scuba prowess to aspiring underwater explorers. During a two-hour Discover Scuba session (a $50 value), fledgling flipper-kickers are introduced to the essential elements of scuba safety, equipment usage, and how to gurgle "gesundheit!" after a subaquatic sneeze, then descend into the depths of an on-site heated swimming pool. While basking in the buoyancy, a Dive Magic staff photographer will snap a photographic keepsake (a $10 value) to memorialize the immersed moment. To make the experience as comfortable as possible, Dive Magic offers a choice between male or female instructors. All equipment is provided.

That was the news – Week 8, 2008: Unconvincing GDC governed by two main themes: flux and fear
Last week's GDC was a strange affair that threw up more questions than answers. While it carried the predicted unveiling of Gears of War 2 and a Microsoft keynote holding traditional big hitters such as Fable 2 and Ninja Gaiden II, the event's main speech's message was by no means "the norm". Yes, the blood, swords and guns were all where they were supposed to be, but at the core of John Sheppard's keynote was a theme of radical change that permeated the entire conference, and one that left both developers and platform holders alike chewing their nails.

GDC: Premium DLC planned for XBLA Peggle
So says this. We hate Peggle, but we can't ignore it, apparently, because everyone else thinks that watching a ball bounce around for hours on end is a good way to use what little life you own. So, begrudgingly, here's some news about Peggle. The XBLA version of the PopCap game is supposedly going to have levels you can pay for.
Satisfied now?

XBLA Peggle to include online multiplayer
We love Peggle. So it comes as great news that the upcoming XBLA version will include online multiplayer options. We think this means two of you will be able to watch something happen that you have virtually no control over simultaneously, but that would just be cynical. There's a movie through the link explaining everything.

Bringing a dog home for the first time is an exciting, yet challenging time.
