Hi,I just bought an ArduCopter Kit a few weeks ago and finally assembled it. Now I have some issues communicating with the board via the APM Planner. Here is a bit of history of my problem:1. I was…Continue

Hey Horia, I was wondering if you were in Toronto these days, I'm trying really hard to make my quad fly with no success, everything works perfectly: GPS lock, xbee, radio modes, battery cells measurement, ESC calibration, compass, sonar.... I'm stuck at PID's, the copter takes off in a very sluggish way, no matter how I tweak the PID's I always end in a crash, so I thought I might as well pay someone for their time and save money on propellers. (Also save time in balancing them)
Please let me know if you are available. I am at Dufferin and Bloor, but if you want I can take all my gear to you. My phone number is 905 616 8482 (not long distance; Mississauga). As I said, I'm willing to pay for your time. All I want is to have the quad flying.
Please help me out!

Rubik's Cube
Wednesday, December 27th, 2006I got two for Christmas, which was quite funny as I opened both presents at the same time in front of both of the people who bought them for me. Chortle! They said.
It's also a SIGN. A sign that now is the time to learn how to solve the greatest puzzle that mankind has ever faced. Now, after three decades of learning how to learn via the medium of videogames, is the time for the meek to rise up and inherit the Earth. God has spoken to me and said "you will end world hunger and bring about an era of peace that never ends."
At least, that's how it'll feel if I succeed.
The cube comes with a guide. This guide is frankly the worst FAQ ever written. It says things like "make a single side all the same colour and then make crosses of matching colour on the adjacent sides. You must learn how to do this yourself before you can progress any further." Thanks, Rubik! Shall I also discern the nature of anti-matter while I'm here? So I'm going to figure it out by myself, and then I'll be able to say "I can do a Rubik's Cube", which is something only four people in the world can say. Rubik isn't one of them.
I honestly don't know how girls will be able to keep their hands off me.

January 31, 2005 Senator Kerry takes a stand, or two, or threeBy Bob WeirWeir Thinking About It As I watched Senator John Kerry on Meet the Press on Sunday I imagined an appropriate scenario for one of Johnny Carson's skits. As 'Carnac the Magnificent,' Johnny puts the envelope to his head and says: 'The answer is, yes and no, pro and con, for and against.' Then he opens the envelope and reads: 'Describe John Kerry's position on any major issues.' Tim Russert, moderator for the weekly interview show, asked Kerry if he agreed with what Senator Ted Kennedy said about immediate withdrawal of some troops after the Iraq election. 'No,' was Kerry's terse reply. Then, there was the inevitable, 'But,' as the former presidential candidate began his usual two—step into verbal ambiguity. In the next few sentences he agreed with his Massachusetts colleague as many times as he disagreed with him. It was d�j� vu all over again as Russert played a video of Kerry during the campaign. 'I actually voted for the military spending bill before I voted against it,' Kerry said. When Russert brought up the claims by Kerry that he was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve of 1968, even though members of his unit said it was untrue, Kerry said, 'I was on the border.' Then he quickly added, 'Did I go into Cambodia, yes I went into Cambodia. It was not on that night, but I did go there.' The reason this is important is because it goes to the very heart of the man's propensity to exaggerate, as Russert emphasized by showing an editorial from the New York Daily News in which Kerry's veracity was questioned. Once again, the junior Senator from Massachusetts did a quick shuffle by appearing indignant and attempting to distort what others heard him say. When the discussion moved to abortion, Russert referred to a statement by Kerry to a group of Democratic Party loyalists, several weeks after the election, in which he said that Democrats needed new ways to make people understand that the party didn't like abortion. In addition, he said that Democrats needed to welcome more pro—life candidates into the party. Russert asked the Senator how he was going to broaden the base of the party when most Democrats have a Litmus Test regarding abortion. Thus began another foray into political contortionism as Kerry made it 'clear' that he was both pro— and anti—abortion. 'I don't want abortion. Abortion should be the rarest thing in the world,' he said, once again preparing to take both sides of an issue. 'The discussion is not about pro—abortion, it's about how you truly value life,' he added, parroting the recent statements by Hillary Clinton. 'Abstinence is another choice, and it's worth talking about,' he continued. 'That doesn't mean that I'm not pro—choice,' he said quickly, as he made that sharp U—turn, trying desperately not to offend the radical wing of his party as he attempted to keep one foot on first base while stretching his elastic principles enough to reach second. He went on to say that he wouldn't vote for a Supreme Court Justice that wasn't pro—abortion, thereby endorsing the Litmus Test. What has become clear is that George W Bush, in winning reelection, has given the Democrats a road map to follow if they expect to mount a formidable challenge to the GOP in future national elections. With the country moving inexorably to the right of center, those with presidential ambitions whose views are not in line with that shift, are destined to become dinosaurs unless they make some 'adjustments.' We can expect to see many changes in the Oval Office wannabes as they keep their eyes on the prize and alter their views to conform to a rebirth of values in America. The next Democratic president will have to be a renaissance man or woman who is prepared to lead this country back to its traditional roots; a time when motherhood was sacred and women didn't use abortion as a failsafe backstop against an irresponsible and licentious lifestyle. A time when religion was viewed as the foundation of a healthy moral compass, and our children were being taught the virtues inherent in spiritual conformity. However, true leadership comes from those who make decisions based on their core beliefs, and have the courage to challenge others to follow. Thankfully, most Americans were discerning enough to view Kerry's style of vacillation as a liability for a commander in chief. Bob Weir is a former detective sergeant in the New York City policy department. He is the editor of The News Connection in Highland Village, Texas. firstname.lastname@example.com on "Senator Kerry takes a stand, or two, or three"

Hi -- Laura Ingraham in for Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight we're gonna have the talking points memo on the Biden factor in the next segment but first.
We -- to get to our top story today the president answered questions from white house press corps members after more than sixty days of dodging them.
Now as -- Maine now he's been under mounting pressure to take questions.
After doing a series of interviews with softball media outlets like People Magazine and Entertainment Tonight.
And today's exchange the president was pressed on whether he feels comfortable with the negative -- own of his campaign.
Are you comfortable with the tone is beset by your campaign have you asked them to change -- -- it comes to find mr.
We're more -- all those characterizations that you you've laid out there were accurate.
For example nobody accused mr.
Romney being a well.
Either Mitt Romney threw his own words and his own signature.
Was misrepresenting.
His position that -- to the FCC which is a felony.
-- he would misrepresenting.
His position that made to the American people to avoid brought responsibility.
For some of the cockpit when it's and his investment.
How soon we forget Mr.
But he remained on the defense.
If you look at the overall predictor of our campaign.
And the ads that I've approved.
And -- produced by my campaign you'll see that.
We point out sharp differences between the candidates.
But we don't go out of bounds.
Joining me now to analyze from Indianapolis Republican strategist DD -- and in New York Fox News contributor.
Juan Williams okay act guys let's get go to you first -- -- kept president was under a lot of pressure right it had been quite a bit of time now he's on one real full blanks.
Press conference this year with the reporters and so they were all shot but at the -- now -- keep them at bay today.
But they did pretty well you know what's interesting about this is you white house press -- to be a member of them have a legitimate complaint which is we want to see more you Mr.
President on the other hand lower.
You know this is media strategy and media strategy suggest that when he does Entertainment Tonight Entertainment Tonight actually had bigger ratings.
-- help -- out by nightly news broadcasts though it's not foolish and he's not gonna get.
The kind of gotcha questions embarrassing questions he's not gonna get beat up like he did by that reporter.
About immigration you know interrupted as he's making a comment.
A lot of guys on the soft shows they're gonna ask him about that the light green or does he like read what's your favorite sports team.
You know that kind of fill yourself from a White House focused repressed strategy perspective -- the fact that.
I'm dating I know that that and a president's approval rating handling the economy is pretty bad.
And I think that's in this part of the reason right that he's -- -- that comfortable talking about is what's on his iPod and chats it up for an an interminable lay off long period of time but that -- warning -- crew and an Albuquerque.
-- -- he's pressed on the specifics of how do you plan to grow the economy Jake Tapper.
Asked the question this fall it's all very nebulous is all is all very very grainy we don't really a lot of details there.
Well yeah I mean you know he is mr.
Hollywood he's mr.
colonies had a terrible record which is why doesn't want to answer questions you know why.
Because he doesn't have a good answer and the reason they did the press conference today one could think is because Mitt Romney came out in the morning saying that Aiken.
Was a bad guy but he did something wrong and I think.
That the president felt like he had to jump on I think -- surprise it was a surprise to him.
He wasn't even did a press comments because met -- -- came out for independent women and because he came against Aiken.
That is why the president -- like he had to do the same thing because -- -- I was brave enough to do that against one is out.
-- like we're talking about -- -- the Missouri -- GOP senatorial candidate.
Who I imagine is not gonna have a contrary to what he said -- -- I've not yet begun to fight Juan.
Looks like he's he's -- on his way out they've they've they've withdrawn its funding from the National Republican Senatorial Committee American crossroads is not gonna find his campaign.
I mean it is he really -- and cost the Republicans a chance.
Of winning back Hispanic because of these these offensive and and just factually.
Incorrect statements that -- at what they were just horrible but I am indeed he just brings it up you know kind of out of the -- -- all right I gotta tell you it is stunning but athletic.
Is out of the -- -- seeing it is damaging to Republicans into the Republicans have relation.
Have a -- relationship with American women are.
You see what's going on the promise when he managed yells out because that this kind of attitude in the Republican ranks somewhat quietly and let them on it cannot stand that well yeah I have argument what what was that I had that -- -- -- say.
I think the president wasn't responding -- back Mitt Romney Mitt Romney came out to save his.
You know -- -- -- you know I can't Atlanta Watkins does that sit out there he -- in front.
Well that's that's also true but unlike the other way and we have these claims that Mitt Romney cause cancer.
And and -- ridiculous priorities USA adds that the president does not coordinate yeah that's the technical.
-- -- But the president wasn't rushing out to say.
Well that's.
It's -- -- that he waited till today is that no I don't believe that in Iran because can't Internet running and Romney came out today.
And he said currently is not represent my views and I think pretty much everyone Sean -- Mike Huckabee national review.
Myself today on the radio -- -- -- also this guy.
This I cannot define the Republican Party so Republicans act -- Wesley.
I'm against people who make it yeah Democrats let them roam free and do a lot of damage.
It's enough to ask a lot of us that due to Republican women are running running back at it it's -- needed me here on the right.
That's from why I'm not running fast and I need not and I'm happy -- -- so -- it can never went.
If winning margin right now increases with the American women for Obama there is no chance and that's what this guy has that he gets that something so sensitive that even Republicans -- -- No they don't want they want out video audio I don't find offense and -- talk about women are.
Maybe there women in the won't OK I find offensive is when the president when he was and they state senate in Illinois decided that.
Babies born alive after an abortion a botched abortion don't have any rights to doctor's help I found to be really offensive yeah I'd want that don't like yeah they're they're president you got it doesn't matter you wanna -- -- -- I don't know about what -- -- Probably what I'm -- yeah -- economy are not now I wanna talk about.
It's funny how dare talk about how about Stephanie Cutter and yet saying that Mitt Romney is a felony counts and they got a -- -- me.
Good yeah out there -- -- Barack Obama have --

Love that bit when they're describing each other.
Author's Response: Thanks. I was trying to describe how I perceive they would be several years down the road, with their current personalities.

Senses by Gryffinpuff
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 569]
Summary: Sense: a word of so many meanings. This is a story about senses. The common sense notion of self preservation that is lost when friends are in need, the senses of the body that can be damaged so easily, and the intuitive senses of the heart that tell you when things have changed. R/Hr focused with a little bit of H/G, not a lot of fluff, with rotating views between the characters on a truly horrific day.

Harry Potter and the Seven-Year War by QwayMelqnu
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 469]
Summary: Harry is steadfast in his decision to break up with Ginny Weasley, hoping that she will be kept safe from Voldemort's clutches, but unforeseen circumstances will push them back together sooner than anyone could have anticipated. Harry finally acknowledges his true feelings for her before setting out on the hunt for the Horcruxes, but unfortunately the subsequent war with Tom Riddle and his followers would end up lasting longer than anyone couldve expected. Can Harry and Ginnys love stand the test of time? And how far will Harry go to make sure they are given the chance to find that out?
There are so many great ideas in here, I'm completely hooked. I love Essit. Even though I didn't like the violence much I still had to keep reading and find out what was going to happen! Would have been good to have Harry Lupin around when I was having my babies....oh well.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. One of my goals from the beginning was to try and come up with a few ideas that I never saw in other stories. Essit herself comes from my own heart, since I made her to be a Native American of my own tribe, and I\'m glad you like how it turned out.
I\'m sorry about the violence, but I tend to visualize things as if they were movies, and when I see action scenes in my head, especially during a war, I see lot of things that a lot of people might not like. Hopefully the other aspects of the story and the happy ending make up for it for you, lol.
On a side note, my wife said the same thing about Harry being around for our kids, lol. Then again, I don\'t see him making house-calls for every pregnant woman in the world, lol. Thanks for taking the time to read and I\'ll see you next chapter!
Almost Me Again by nuw255
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 443]
Summary: Harry Potter disappears immediately after defeating Lord Voldemort, and the circumstances all point to him being dead. But when has Harry ever been known to just roll over and die? Join Harry on a journey of self-discovery to find the family he never knew he had.
Post-Hogwarts H/G
Hmmm... I'm hooked. Poor Ginny - can't wait to find out what she's been doing all these years.
Someone else has probably already mentioned this, but I don't think UK police carry guns. I suppose they might do if they're in the special anti-terror whatsit.
What a great chapter - I love the "obliterate" - "No, Obliviate" line, and the "Do you really think I'm in a doubting mood?" paragraph really made me laugh. Usually when characters are eplaining things I already know (to other characters), I get a bit bored, but the way you did it was brilliant.
I chuckled at the term "Unspeakable Weasley".
I've only recently discovered this story and now I've devoured all the existing chapters - oh no! The idea about parallel memories going on is really clever - there are so many brilliant ideas in this story. I love Fred's kids' names and their hair - that's so true to Fred's character. In fact, I think all the characters are very true to canon - you've captured their true natures beautifully.You're really building up the tension now with all the H/G stuff that needs to be resolved - can't wait for the next instalment.
Sweet Anger by Kerichi
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 37]
When Snape catches her in a compromising position and revokes Hogsmeade privileges, Tonks sees red. She plans payback and discovers that while revenge is supposedly a dish best served cold, it tastes even better hot.
*Not the usual 'Don't Stand so Close to Me' variety romance.*
Author's Response:
Or at least sweet as Snape can get, snarky soul that he is, lol.

Have Confidence in Your Statistical Analysis!: Learning How to Use Confidence Intervals
Posted: 08/17/2009 5:10:00 PM EDT | 5
- Why are point estimates useless for making decisions?
- What is the best confidence level?
Why are Point Estimates Useless for Making Decisions?
Example 1: Suppose I measure the hardness of five steel parts, and the measurements are 57, 55, 57, 56 and 55. The mean of these measurements is 56. Usually, we expect this value to represent something about a larger population of parts. The population mean µ cannot be known with certainty, but the sample mean, 56, is our best estimate of the population mean, based only on these five parts. The number 56 is a point estimate of the population mean.

Its nice article. I think the example 3 is reversed in mentioning Type I & Type II risk.
Agreed this is a good article. A point estimate may though not be another useless number. If the standard deviation is already well known, such as a test for which a comprehensive GRR has been performed (where repeats >>10) or a control is being run on a frequent basis, then the std dev from these can be used. The std dev from these can be much better since it's based on far more repeats. A finite interval is given even when the number of repeats is 1. Use the Z in that case. A greater amount of repeat measurements is needed when one wants a tighter range of 95% conf limits.
Hi rschweiger, Initially I also thought the same way as you did. Your statement (rejecting good part is type I risk) also correct. If we see the type1 risk in confidence interval perspective, wrongly estimating the population mean is type 1 risk - ie., our calculated confidence interval do not have population mean. Example if we calculate CI 100 times by taking samples from population, we may be wrong 5 times for 95% Confidence interval, but we do not know when this 5 times going wrong is not known. In this example type 1 error is 5%. Type 1 error for CI is risk based on result of estimation. Type 1 error in sampling inspection is risk based on result of action taken.
thanks for sharing the article.
Excellent article. Do you have your Type I and Type II risks reversed in examples 3 and 4? Usually, rejecting something when it is actually good is the Type I risk. Or am I being overly simplistic and/or missisng something?

Global stocks started the week in positive territory Monday, with banks and oils leading the gain, as investors became more reassured that the global economic slowdown has bottomed. Experts tell CNBC how to make money at this time.
Global stocks slipped Friday as the positive sentiment stemming from the G20 summit's coordinated action and united front diminished and was replaced by caution ahead of the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report.
Cramer has often been a fan of this stock, but what do the technicians say? And are they right?
According to Tom Albanese, CEO of Rio Tinto, infrastructure stocks will see a boost in the second half of 2009 — thanks largely to the U.S. and China.
Global stocks were down Friday as more bad news came out of the financial sector, heightening investors' fears about the health of the overall economy. As markets continue their volatile streak, experts tell CNBC where is best to put your money.
While Asian stocks were predominately lower Thursday on the back of Wall Street's overnight falls, European stocks rose on the back of the UK's government support for the banking sector.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on Tuesday increased its share stake in heavyweights like Coca Cola, McDonald's and Autonation.
As brutal as it sounds, Cramer says, not every bank will make it.
We love the attention we get from this financial-news weekly, but they're wrong about Jim's track record.
Cramer has a few ideas on how to rectify the president's less-than-stellar first few weeks in office.
Where's that infrastructure build-out we were promised? What about the job creation? Why is the new president's stimulus package such a disappointment? China got it right.
Caterpillar is seeing heavy options activity as its stock trades moderately higher Wednesday. Calls outnumber puts by a 3-1 ratio and are concentrated at the February 33 strike, where contracts were bought for $0.77, $0.80, and $0.81. Some May 40 calls also traded for $0.88, according to OptionMonster's real-time tracking systems.
Cramer isn't the only person finding fault with the new president's spending bill. Here is what Kent Conrad wants changed.
China, the United States and many other countries have unveiled a slew of stimulus packages aimed at reviving their economies. These proposals should see a huge bump up in infrastructure spending. If that's the case, why are many of these companies doing so poorly in the stock markets? What's going on?
The "roads and bridges" approach to economic recovery President Obama talked so much about seems to have disappeared. Or, in the very least, it's much smaller than we anticipated. So are the stocks worth buying anyway?
Michael Spencer, chief economist, Asia Pacific and co-head, Global Economics at Deutsche Bank, explains why he's bullish on the Chinese economy.

I fancy trying out a collapsible stand with a fixed lighting setup.
Which is the best stand between the Cheetah and the Denny - it looks like the Cheetah has square section legs which is unusual.. does this make the stand less durable?

Does anybody have any experience of these stands?

I can't remember why, but I went with the Cheetah stand. It works well and holds up well, but I wouldn't suggest anything heavy. It's a "fast" stand and great to move around quickly without the legs getting in the way. I use the Cheetah stand with a Quantum Qflash, Turbo battery, and Pocket Wizard attached.

I have the C8 and fairly happy with it when I use it on solid ground. It's not as solid as my other cheaper lightstands with tubular style legs. I know you're a Qflash shooter and that's what I mount on mine too with their 27" octobox. Handles it OK but a little flimsy and not all that sturdy when I need to extend the height.
When using outdoors, I make sure that I'm on sturdy ground and out of any breeze when using the C8.
I wish now that I had of just gotten the C12 from the beginning, seems a lot more sturdier.

I've heard that the larger ones and 'heavier' ones (C12) are too much on the heavy side and that the centre column works like a fourth leg - so not so good on uneven surfaces because of it (?)
I'm going to permanently fit a Quantum Qpaq 400Ws and X5d-R to it.. the section between the top of the legs and the first extension looks like its designed to fit.

I just found this review
which says the Denny, despite having round tubes on the legs also has plastic tube locks (I'm not fond of plastic tube locks) and in this case the tubes separated in use. It was a while back, but not good.

I think that may have been one of the reasons for my going with the Cheetah. I use the lightweight stand only with the Qflash, but only with the standard reflector or barebulb. Jim points out correctly about difficulties when using larger small modifiers--it pushes the capability limits of the small stand, and as with any modifier can catch more wind. If I'm using larger modifiers, I'll simply opt for a heavier stand and weights.
Be aware that the old Qpac certainly weighs more than a original Turbo or Turbo SC! You might be pushing it with the smaller Cheetah, and I think you might run into the "flimsy" realm that Jim describes.

I regularly use the Qpaq's on Nano stands, even with the 27" octobox without any issues, but the additional weight of the Qpaq and large battery might actually be a help there in ballasting the stand.

Everywhere use. I doubt it will suffice in every case, but the majority of cases would be OK.
Setting up and breaking down lighting is a chore. I used to have a kit of Balcar 1200Ws packs with monopods and heads all connected.. brilliant concept.. carry in, plug in, shoot. Profoto had a similar arrangement. With this I want to carry to location, turn on, shoot. If the single head and modifier are not sufficient then I can easily carry a couple more of either the T5d-R's or X5d-R's in their shoulder bag or cases as well, or if this works out OK, I'll create a kit all ready-built and ready to go.
In the last week I've been on Windfarms, in Engineering works, Prisons and shooting corporate portraits.. the process of open the stand, attach the clamp, fit the pack, connect the head and fit the cable can become really monotonous several times over and time consuming.
I have a gazillion stands already, but whilst considering these options I'm also considering how to do a DIY job on a stand using a pole spring from the poles of a frame tent. There only needs to be a closing pressure and a bottom stop on the stand to make it work..
S&H to the UK for these stands is almost as much as the stands themselves..

Now I'm a bit confused. Ease of movement it the primary advantage of the auto retracting feet vs. conventional stand but the description it sounds like mostly static rather than "run and gun" like a wedding where you are constantly moving the OCF around to follow the action.
If the primary goal is making the logistics of set-up simpler a padded custom case where you can keep everything connected (stand, flash, battery) for storage and transport would seem to fit the bill better. I briefly worked for a free-lance PJ who had a rolling case containing a 16mm video news interview kit like that. There was a ball head stand mounted on top of the case and the camera and lights w. stands attached fit into padded compartments in the case. It could be rolled in and set-up in a few minutes with very little effort, but needed a van for transport.
While it doesn't seem to be what you need here's what I use indoors for my off camera my speedlight: a modified five-legged IV pole on casters.
It's got a small 28" footprint and is nearly un-tippable. If it gets bumped it just rolls away. It works a treat indoors if moving around with a flash on bracket and one OCF as I do with speedlights. I occasionally find one at thrift stores. Got the idea working for Zucker. It's what he used, but his had 4 legs and a cast iron base.

The value of the Cheetah stand is its ability to collapse its legs when picked up.
The C8 is OK for speedlites with smallish modifiers. The C12 is robust enough for an Einstein moonlight with relatively big modifier.
The foot print of each is smaller than a corresponding light stand. Primarily because of the self collapsing mechanism.
I've had C8 go over in the wind with just a speedlite on top, sitting on a concrete walk.
If you have to move fast they are nice. If you have time then light stands with wider base can be saver.
I got Denny version first. They had a special on a two stand kit. First stand came apart when I took it out of the box and wouldn't stay together. Needless to say they went back.
I've have a couple of things I needed to replace on the stands I have and Edward is great at customer service. He's not into email so when you email from the site with a question be close to your phone, you're likely to get a call within minutes. :-)

I'm constantly moving the lighting around to different locations as well as getting the equipment to the location in the first place.
The auto retracting feet mean that when I'm traipsing a camera bag on my back with cameras, lenses and lights along with a case of a couple of 400Ws the other hand has a ready to go light which on arrival at destination can be plonked down without having to mess with leg struts to secure it. Destination might be up stairs across gantries and end up on a gridded floor somewhere. You need two hands to secure a stand.. and if you want to pick up two and move them (especially the Nano type) with heads and power packs attached you need three hands! They're OK when closed up, just getting them closed up when you have a few to move presents a problem. (There might be over 10 lights all needing moving so thats a serious set up and break down time.. sometimes they do just get thrown in the van and sorted when back at the studio, but mostly they're packed). Even if you need only one light and its in your bag, it's no good being there if you need it and have only got 30s to setup before you miss the action.
I would have no objection to fitting out a case of lights set up this way if the stands do what is needed. It might be a bit lengthy..(?) and then sometimes, only one light might be enough, so a case of three might be overkill. (and weighty).
Maybe the Nano stands are the things which are causing the problem with their backward folding legs.. picking up two to move them to another location a couple of floors away means folding the legs whilst balancing the stands against your shoulders which ends up as bit of a juggling act. Even so, without the Nanos, the majority of the time the lights, cameras and stands wouldn't be where I need them all at the same time as the Nanos happily fit in the lighting cases along with the lights.
Trying to provide a working solution to an unknown requirement is difficult to judge. Three sets the other day had all the lights clamped to support struts as there simply wasn't room for stands... Back to those Balcars again with their one handed transport solution - because they only used the pack as a stand with a monopod attached they would have been fine - except there was no AC...

What you're describing sounds like one of the strengths of the cheetah stand. I usually have two setup with speedlites on top at a reception. When someone says " can we do a family picture?" I say meet me at such and such.
Go over, crab the two stands with lights on them, carry them to new site, plop them down, do a quick check to make sure I have the light I want and away we go.
Sometimes it means adding an umbrella or similar. I keep a collapsible Westcott bunged to the stand. :-)
Often I set one or two up with lights and battery packs at the first location then just collapse the vertial extension and put them in the car going to the next location then out they come.
Camera case, camera and two cheetah stands with lights on them are manageable. I have a case that carries everything broken down but once the event starts and the lights are on the stands they tend to stay there.
I also have compact stands, when I use them I just fold the legs together rather than back up onto the stand for quick transport. If you keep the tips of the legs about 6 inches apart its easy to transport and they will stand with assistance until you can get a firmer base.
If I know I'm going to spend time outside I have at least one light on a compact. The Cheetah stands don't really like uneven terrain.

Pretty much.. the bunged Westcott is where I might be heading, although I'm leaning towards having a Speedring adapter permanently fitted to the head as well so that I can chose whether to use a studio mount softbox or a compact modifier.

Yes, some variation on that.
I also have compact stands, when I use them I just fold the legs together rather than back up onto the stand for quick transport. If you keep the tips of the legs about 6 inches apart its easy to transport and they will stand with assistance until you can get a firmer base.
I would normally do that, but I remembered why I didn't.. I was climbing through rubble and limited access past generators and demolition salvage and the like, the 6 inches might have been a problem. In that instance I was using the T series and batteries.
If I know I'm going to spend time outside I have at least one light on a compact. The Cheetah stands don't really like uneven terrain.
I think I'll have to overcome the uneven terrain somehow.
What distance is there between the top of the leg flange and the first pole clamp on the C8? The Denny is 11" which is at least a couple of inches more than I should ever need.

I give up! Is it a revolver, a pistol, or a handgun?
This is a point of confusion for a lot of inexperienced writers (i.e. ones who have not been barraged by gillions of critical e-mails). The terms "pistol" and "handgun" are basically interchangeable as they define a firearm designed to be shot with one hand, as opposed to being fired from the shoulder. Some experts further sub-classify pistol as a firearm whose chamber is integral with the barrel, (thus distinguishing it from a revolver) but for our purposes I think either would be fine. The term "revolver" describes a particular "action" wherein the chambers are part of a revolving cylinder, but it too can be called a pistol.
It bears mentioning that very few American law enforcement agencies allow their officers to carry a revolver as a primary duty weapon. Most require a semi-automatic handgun for their officers. Some agencies even require their officers to carry the same make and caliber so their ammunition is interchangeable. Almost all agencies will have an "approved" list of acceptable makes, models, and calibers.
While the above terms are interchangeable I would suggest that you pick one and stick with it. Obviously, if a character has a revolver then you need to make that clear. Pay particular attention to the ammunition capacity. Nothing bothers a reader more than a gunfight in which a character shoots nine shots from a six shot revolver without re-loading. It's always best to select a particular model and caliber and then study the specifications. In the best case scenario you might be able to test fire one at a gun range so that you understand its functions. Remember; never shoot a firearm without proper training and or supervision by someone familiar with the weapon.

In general, most street officers and investigators refer to any type of gun as a "weapon". Only when we are trying to make a differentiation between certain types of weapons do we use other terms (ie: knife, handgun, revolver, rifle, shotgun, etc.). It is usually ballistics experts and firearms instructors who utilize the term "firearm".

Eighteen-year-old first year Chloe is full of enthusiasm and just starting her placement on the high-risk delivery unit, while second-year Aurelie is struggling and only has one more chance to pass a vital assessment - if she fails again it's unlikely she will ever become a midwife.

UPDATE: Breeders Plead Guilty April 8, 2011: The owners of a breeding facility that was the target of an Oregon Humane Society investigation (see story below) today pled guilty to second degree animal neglect charges. Diane and Rick Cheadle, who operated the Foxburrow Kennels on S. Elisha Road in Canby, were sentenced today to one day in jail, 96 hours of community service, and five years probation. A restitution hearing is scheduled for May 4. The Cheadles are barred from owning domestic animals for five years. OHS seized 32 dogs and a duck from the Cheadles on Feb. 16. Some of the dogs were as much as 50 percent underweight. All of the animals were eventually surrendered to OHS and have since been adopted, with the exception for four coton de Tulears. One of the coton's has a congenital heart failure and is receiving medical care; two others are puppies too young for adoption and the fourth is a mother of one of the puppies.
OHS Removes Dozens of Neglected Dogs From Canby Breeder
February 16, 2011: Oregon Humane Society Humane Investigators today served a search warrant and removed approximately 33 animals -- some of them as much as 50 percent underweight -- from a breeding facility in Canby. The dogs are now being cared for at the OHS shelter in Portland. Dogs Not Available for Adoption Because the dogs are part of an ongoing legal case, they are not available for adoption. At this time, it is not possible to estimate how long it will take to resolve the legal issues surrounding the animals. Additionally, it's expected to be another four to six weeks before most of the dogs are out of the medical danger zone and are healthy enough to be candidates for adoption.

There he released a handful of works, before returning to Canada permanently in the early months of the 21st century. His music was more often than not tied to the label Integrity, with whom he issued a number of releases, including 2004's Today, which was nearly a number one hit on the Canadian Christian charts. Over the years, Doerksen has won a number of awards, including Worship Album of the Year and Male Soloist of the Year at the Canadian People's Choice Gospel Music Awards.

they tell me that it goes away around 14 weeks, but i don't know. this is my first pregnancy.
sometimes it depends on you, and what you eat. i didnt have it all. they say its worse with a girl, but who really knows.
It depends on the person, some don't have it all some have it for the first trimester and some have it through out their entire pregnancy.
I am having a baby girl ! I had morning sickness to some extent. It really depends on an individual. Ideally, it goes away about 13-14 weeks. However, some women experience it throughout their pregnancy.
