Thanks, very valuable, and I think for the beginning, I will use the CAR version.
I am slowly getting the plane ready, the main wing is now joined together, and I will probably countersink a wooden strip to cross both wing portions to strengthen the join. The livery I designed from photos of planes of the French Securité Civile (specifically No. 32), and I then sent these to CallieGraphics, who made an excellent job of them. |

4-bladed Prop for CL-415
I have searched the web for the above (for CL-415, see photo), without success. As I understand it, generally speaking, blade length of a 4-blade prop should be about 87% the blade length of a 2-blade prop (?). Therefore, I need a prop with total blade length of 7". Anyone know of a supplier?

and --> www.ramoser.de Varioprops size 6A, if you look for L & R you can only choose between 8.2'' and 5.8''. Warning: One 4blade prop will be more expensive than the rest of the airplane.... 8.2'' fits well on the HK Canadair Cheers Rainer |

Is it correct - I need the Hub, the Spinner and the 4 blade, all 2 times, thus a total of about 60 Euros WITHOUT postage? Bob |

need help
Thought i would post my problem here.Went to maiden today with no luck. ok i have dx7 and programed to mix rudder and throttle 2x turnigy plush 30 amp esc .Before going to the lake everthing tested fine motors had differental thrust everthing perfect.But now it seems i cant even get these esc to work on there own i just get a constant beeping and it is on both esc,s.I must be doing something wrong as i have another esc 12 amp which does the same thing after i played around with it when working on a twin motor differental setup.I feel as if i have mucked up the throttle settings somehow and can not get them working again ,can anybody shed some light .
Mar 31, 2012, 07:19 AM | |
Hi, in my opinion your beeping esc's means that your RX has no radio signal.
Have had this issue with different waterplanes when sitting i the water on 2,4GHZ more often with twins, can't really explain why but displacing the RX helped in my case. Ordered/Paid this Airframe march 1st from HK, having gotten nothing yet I went to check the tracking left Hobbyking march 27th |
Mar 31, 2012, 09:16 AM | ||
I had the constan beeping on my Catalina but that was water in the ESC...... Dave |

Failure to honor Washington: a triumph of the Left
On this, what would have been George Washington's 278th birthday, Americans will go about their business, a free people, without acknowledging – nor celebrating – the man whose toil on their behalf was measureless. I say "free people," sadly aware that we're becoming less free, and that diminution of Washington symbolizes the design to "alter" history to make this so. This, of course, derives from | Read More »

Aspen Contractor Says Abramovich Stiffed Him
Filed under: Estates, Wealth, Crimes and Misdemeanors
A contractor in Aspen, Colorado has filed a lien against Roman Abramovich, claiming the Russian billionaire stiffed him on work performed on Wildcat Ridge (above), the oligarch's $36 million ranch perched above Snowmass Village. The modern 11-bedroom mansion has a dramatic folded plate roof and a large moss rock wall dividing the east and west wings of the building, and uses geothermal wells to heat the interiors and indoor pool. Vogelman West Associates, a masonry and stone contractor, filed the lien in Pitkin County against Abramovich Roman Trailhead Property Management Inc. after trying to collect on an outstanding $5,000 invoice, the Aspen Daily News reports. Given the relatively paltry amount of the debt, we assume one of Abramovich's minions simply forgot to take care of it; then again, he didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks.

Ideal Live/Work Space: Post Family's Davey Sommers
"My ideal space changes from day to day. New sensory inputs, outside perspectives and friction with my surroundings causes me to focus on things that I wouldn't normally focus on, or necessarily want to focus on. When such a friction or tension is created between me and my environment, that is when I do my best work, or have the most eureka moments–the very moments that keep me working from one day to the next.
I have my clearest thoughts when I'm thinking as an escape of sorts or a reverie from where I am, or the task I am doing. If I see something or think of something that relates to a far off thought in my head, the unexpected connection fuels my next move. This is all driven by the friction, and going to the same place to sit in the same space everyday, is not much help. At the same time, if I have the motivation, focus and know exactly what needs to be done then isolation from any friction is best.
For my space to be effective, surroundings and situations need to change, but at the same time there must be consistency to make it usable. Otherwise, the same problem will appear each day, and just like going to the same place everyday, that problem will eventually be solved and that solution will become a repeptive task. So how can one's surroundings challenge yet remain static enough to support your needs. There lies the challenge, and somewhere between a cradle and a war zone; or nil and infinity, lies the solution.
With all of that in mind, projects by Scup(IT) [Architects Pieter Peerlings & Silvia Mertens make up Sculp(IT), they live and work in this space pictured above and below. It is 2.4 meters wide, 5.5 meters depth and 12 meters height. Via Coolboom] and LOT-EK appeal to me. Shipping containers positioned and interconnected in different ways to create an inhabitable space.
I like the simplcity of contruction and the ability to easily replicate the design in multiple locations. The thought of throwing my home/office on a flat bed and taking it with me is appleaing but not very practical, nor as convenient as having one waiting for you wherever you might end up. The main places I find myself working are the cafe, park, bar, studio, in isolation and when I travel, or go somewhere new.
These places can somewhat be replicated in one of each section of the live/work space, and like the project by Sculp(IT) could include: wide open windows and interaction with the street on the first floor, food/drink on the second, sleep/bath on the third, isolation on four, and on top a garden. I would lay it on its side for a mountain or a lake setting."

Belt Pack Inflatables Report for Duty
In the fall of 2003, as part of the Foundation Findings research and testing series, the BoatU.S. Foundation undertook extensive testing on the wearability and usability of belt pack inflatable life jackets. We looked at all of the U.S. Coast Guard-approved belt pack inflatable models on the market at the time of testing (excluding hybrids), including six manual inflation models and one automatic. Since that time, several of the models we worked with have been discontinued (see these noted in the Spec Chart), and several new models are on their way to the marketplace.
In Part I of this series (Foundation Findings #37), we wanted to find out if regular boaters could handle the care and maintenance of this innovative technology, so we took the belt packs home, repacked and rearmed them, and treated them like our own.
In Part II (Foundation Findings #38) we took to the water to see how the jackets would perform in real life scenarios. In both a static pool and a wave pool, our testers tried out the jackets through a series of simple tests, while staff made notes and observations, and the victims reported on how they felt.

Electric Guitar - Black (white pickguard & tan neck)
The guitar is an ancient and noble instrument, whose history can be traced back over 4000 years. The need for an amplified guitar became apparent during the big band era, as orchestras increased in size: particularly when guitars had to compete with large brass sections.The guitar was one of the best candidates for amplification due to its acoustic properties and for its potential as a polyphonic solo instrument. The strings pass vibrations through the bridge to the magnet and coil, which register those vibrations and pass the electric signal on to an amplifier. Our Electric Guitar features realistic detail and a rounded neck for easy grip. The reverse side has a standard connection point for when your traveling minifig musician needs to sling it onto his back.
Our price: $1.05
Elven Blade - Black
For the most skillful fighters, the Elven Blade is light and sharp, and transforms any ordinary warrior on the battlefield into a force to be reckoned with. Unlike other weapons such as spear or axe, a these blades can't simply be assembled, it has to be forged and carefully tempered which requires dedicated labor and skill. The final purpose of each is to create a strong, light blade capable of holding a good edge. Elven Blade fits most standard minifig hands.

Perhaps the most ancient of arms, the spear was originally used for hunting and fishing prior to its use as a fairly versatile military weapon. The Elven Spear is a long-shafted weapon designed principally for thrusting, although many spears were also capable of slashing blows. A beautiful piece of craftsmanship this classic design has been made to create a nicely formed weapon - ideal for any of your custom characters. Elven Spear fits most standard minifig hands.

This accessory has two antennae, visual display and two simulated digital outputs for energy management. The perfect gadget for your minifig space technician or paranormal expert. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $0.50
Enforcer Gun - Black
The outer rim is littered with bodyguards who swear allegiance to various crime lords. If you don't want to end up rancor fodder, you better be sportin' some firepower. Considered sub-par and inexpensive, the Enforcer Gun still generates enough kick to knock down attempted assassins & meddlesome space knights. Highly disposable, and quite ubiquitous it's not difficult to find a spare when visiting any number of wretched hives of scum & villainy. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Face Shield - Black

Falcata - Black
The Falcata is a type of sword typical of Pre-Roman Hispania, similar to the Greek Kopis and developed from the Canaan/Egyptian Khopesh. Designed for delivering strong cleaving blows the Falcata has a one-edged blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave on the lower part and convex on top. Great for hoplites, gladiators or dual-wielding assassins! Fits most standard minifig hands.

Fighting Claw - Black
The fighting Claw originated in the far east as the Tekagi-shuko ('tiger hook hands'), a hidden fist weapon with sharp blades or pins sticking out.

Regardless, the Claw is an indimidating weapon that can be used by your ninja, dark lord or savage mutant fighting force. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $0.75
Flintlock Pistol - Black
The Flintlock Pistol was the greatest advance in pirating since the wooden leg. Developed in the 1600s, these pistols revolutionized ship-to-ship combat (and on-land raiding), and later became a primary means of dueling. Their effective range was very short, and they were frequently used as an adjunct to the sword or cutlass. Sea rovers will appreciate the simple, yet familiar styling that allows for multiple grip points and easy handling. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $0.50
Gas Mask - Black
If your minifigs are finding their way into a cloud of disaster its best to snap-on the BrickForge Gas Mask.

Whether your staging an urban riot or post-apoc display, the Gas Mask is a must have accessory to round out the scene. Gas Mask attaches exclusively to the BrickForge Tactical Helmet.

Golf Club - Black
The origin of golf is unclear but many cultures enjoyed hitting things with long, metal objects. Modern history settled on the Golf Club to insure the tiny white sphere arrives at its destination. Irons are golf clubs with a flat angled face designed for shots approaching the green or from more difficult lies such as the rough, through or over trees or at the base of hills. As with most equipment the Golf Club makes a handy weapon in a pinch when faced with a street fight or fending off hungry undead. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Gunbelt - Black
A staple of pistoliers everywhere, the Gunbelt was an essential piece of equipment in the Old West & beyond. Holsters mounted on a belt started showing up in the 1840's from enterprising leatherworkers and saddlesmiths. Gunbelt holsters came in many forms, the Slim Jim, Mexican Loop and Buscadero to name a few. The BrickForge Gunbelt is of standard design with a pliable holster molded directly into the belt. Fitting between the minifig torso & hip pieces the Gunbelt not only secures your favorite firearm but is also ideal for other weapons & equipment like the BrickForge Nightstick. Holster size is approximately 3mm x 2.35mm and fits accessories 3mm (or less) in diameter comfortably.
Our soft ABS plastic contains an additive making it flexible - but not stretchable. Excess tugging, twisting and attempts to fit bigger-than-intended elements inside holster slots may result in tearing. Pieces broken due to excessive play are not eligible for replacement.

Headhunter Quickshot - Black

The Headhunter Quickshot both intimidates possible challengers and works well as a one-handed boomstick when bringing in bounties. Fits most standard minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00
Headlamp - Black
A Headlamp is a flashlight worn on the head for hands-free operation in dark environments such as mines, underground caverns and smoke-filled rooms; which means your miner, spelunker and firefighter minifigs can concentrate on more important things while wearing this accessory. It's flexible design means it can fit over most minifig headgear such as helmets or hair. A standard 1x1 connection point lets you add our Lens Piece, Gemstone or other decorative piece. Inner dimensions are approximately 12.5mm in diameter.

Ice Skates (pair) - Black

Modern skates are boots with metal blades attached to the underbelly and worn as footwear in many sports including ice hockey and figure skating. The Ice Skate has a standard 4.9mm peg to attach to most standard minifig legs. A 3mm bar integrated into the blade allows for gripping and angled positioning.

Imperial Blaster - Black

Our price: $1.00
Intergalactic 8-Gauge - Black
The Intergalactic 8-Gauge is one of the most effective close-range weapons in the galaxy. The 8-gauge's immense power, ease of use, and reduced capacity for puncturing the hulls of spacecraft are often appreciated by the marines who carry them. The Intergalactic Shotgun simulates a multi-trajectory pattern, the combined force of which does a significant amount of damage against almost any type of alien infantry, including multiple targets at a time. Fits most minifig hands.
Our price: $1.00

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I got this card in the grey with ticket edges. We got the matching invitations with the pearl shimmer finish, but left these plain and I love the contrast. I also love that you can add a photo on the back. They look super expensive and I couldn't be happier!"
"I was a little nervous about the enclosure cards because we were planning to do the RSVP online. I made a note in the order form, and they totally made it perfect. The color is great, and matches the rest of the invite very nicely. Love it!"
"I used the monogram stripe cards for invitations to a wedding. The black, chartreuse, and white colors are deep and rich, the paper is thick and looks wonderful. The many choices for script allowed me to create a very contemporary invitation, which was perfect! I've received so many compliments on these invitations....I'm VERY happy with them. The service was exceptional....I had them within a few days of placing my order and they were packed well, so they arrived in impeccable condition. Highly recommended!!"
"I used this item sort of backward and nontraditionally. I made my big invitation for the reception due to inviting everyone there. I wanted to keep the ceremony more private, so I chose to use this Details card as a private Ceremony invite for immediate family. Since I was only getting a small number, I rounded the corners. I chose to keep the background color on front and back. I replaced the white, blaze and baltic colors with bay and ivory on blaze background."
"I had a more ornate invitation, so I wanted something simple. I used this to display my reception and website information. I upgraded to the pearl finish and they came out absolutely perfect. I can't stop looking at them!"

Stunning Ring, I absolutely love it! The detail is very nice. Great for bridal engagement. Highly recommended !
PUrchased this ring looking for something different as a bridal set. THe first ring I ordered didn't do the trick for me. So I sent it back no problem and ordered this ring. This ring shipped super fast! I have to say, at first I was a little disappointed because I thought the silver of the ring was a dark charcoal color (based on the pictures) and its actual silver. Once that settled I could see how detailed and beautiful the ring was. it's a great set. An eye catcher and sparkles like crazy. Can't wait to put this ring on for good! :)
This Ring was bought by me for my gf and she loves the ring and is always wearing it. She has not only got a lot of compliments for it but everyone who sees it always asks about it and appreciates the intricate details in this gorgeous ring. I had seen quite a few black diamond bridals at my local jeweler before buying this ring, but the detail, the quality and the quality of the diamonds in this ring is far superior than most rings in the price point that I saw. The black diamond looks very big and sits very well on the ring.
The first set I ordered was too large for my fianc�, so I contacted Overstock about a return, and sent it back out. The replacement was sent to the wrong location, then intercepted, then lost. Then after I contacted four or five different people from overstock, and only then, did I actually know what was happening with my replacement. They sent out a whole new replacement that arrived within their 10 day prediction. Which would've been great, had I not paid for two-day air previously. (Twice, actually.) We also received the replacement just a few days prior to our wedding, which I told every person I spoke to about the situation. Customer service were generally very nice. (The male reps were pretty rude, the females were 10x nicer, and actually got back to me when they said they would.) Overstock said stuff like this never happens. But yet, no compensation was offered, and my two-day air shipping that wasn't applied was never refunded. The engagement ring and the bridal ring fit like two different sizes completely. I'm done with Overstock, and will have a local jeweler in Texas resize and solder them together. I won't be using Overstock ever again.
my girl loved it! because of how unique it is. the best victorian engagement ring out there especially for the value!
simply beautiful!! definite EYE CATCHER!!!!!!! The hubby did well!

Four-deal Friday: iPods, Kinects, and pirates, oh my!
After the alliterative disaster that was five-deal Wednesday, I couldn't let Friday go without correcting that disturbance in the Force. Plus, a lot of really good deals appeared on my radar today.

Raiders return to State Class B Volleyball Tournament
The Lyman volleyball team earned its second straight state tournament berth last Tuesday night defeating Philip 3-0 in the Region 7B championship match held at Wall.
The Raiders (24-8) are seeded #6 in the Class B State Tournament that will be held in Huron, Thursday, Nov. 21 through Saturday, Nov. 23.
The Raiders will take on Chester (#3 seed) in the first night game Thursday at 6:00 pm at the Huron Arena. The games can be viewed online at www.sdpb.org and the finals can be seen on Saturday night starting at 6:00pm on the local PBS TV station.
The Raiders won the Region 7B title last year, then struggled at the state tournament, returning home with 8th place.
Coach Jill Whalen said the girls are more focused this year and ready to go out and win.
"A year of tournament experience will be helpful," said Whalen. "Last year they were just so excited to qualify for state. This year
they're ready to get a win!"
The Raiders have some playing knowledge of several of the other tournament teams including Kimball/White Lake, Harding County, and Herrid/Selby.
Lyman played Harding County at the Philip tournament early in the season, and won the match. While Lyman lost to Kimball/White Lake in regular season play, Whalen believes the Raiders are playing at a
higher level of ball now.
"Our girls have peaked at the right time of the season," said Whalen. "We're not done yet!"

Randy Starkman tributes show there's an appetite for Olympic sports
For many sports media types, it's taken as a fact that there's consumer demand for in-depth coverage of Olympic sports during the Games (which is growing to new heights), but not beyond. Veteran Toronto Star Olympic/amateur sport reporter Randy Starkman made a tremendous career out of defying that assumption though, and the incredible tributes from journalists, athletes and fans that popped up in the wake of his death at 51 this week following a battle with pneumonia suggest that plenty of people were following Starkman's work closely even when there were no Olympics immediately in sight. The key to understanding why that's the case comes from examining Starkman's approach, and it's one that could carry tremendous benefits for media outlets everywhere across print, the Internet, radio and television.
Perhaps the most critical part to understanding why Starkman's stories found wide appeal, even when they touched on obscure sports a long ways from the bright lights of the Olympics, is that they often weren't about the minutiae of the particular athletic competitions involved. In fact, as Canadian journalism website J-Source editor-in-chief Janice Neil wrote, Starkman's most impressive stories were often much more focused on the people involved than the events they were competing in:
We know that some veterans of the beat allowed their stories to become too niche, too consumed with the minutiae that few outside the rarified world care about. But after almost three decades on the beat, Randy continued to produce sports stories that splashed the front page. Some were scoops about doping, governance scandals or glory on the podium, but many others because were simply compelling stories about athletes' dreams and ambitions, or dashed hopes or devastating injuries - in other words, real life stories to which we could all relate. As fencer Schalm recalls, when she asked Randy where he would get the angles for his stories, he told her, "I want to write the story that everyone from my daughter to her grandmother would be interested to sit down and read."From this corner, that's exactly what needs to be done to sell Olympic sports coverage away from the Games themselves. After all, even at the Games, much of the most interesting material still comes from the people involved. Away from the Games, that takes on an even more critical role. Sure, not many people will bother to tune in to watch two full hours of swimming or synchronized diving or shot put, but there are some fantastic stories out there about the athletes in those sports, and those have potential mass appeal that the sports themselves may not. Joe Posnanski's outstanding coverage of Rulon Gardner over the years provides an excellent example; I can't say I've ever watched much Greco-Roman wrestling, Olympic or otherwise, but Gardner's story is about so much more than just the incredible sporting accomplishment that put him on the world stage.

Hi people!
Dropped in to share something. I came across a shooting club named Lakshya (MRA affiliation). They have got 4 ranges (.177 & .22) in Navi Mumbai at Vashi and Panvel. The Founder and President if the club is Suma Shirur. http://lakshyashooting.com/about.htm
Got AC and Non-AC indoor ranges. You can become a member by paying only 5k for 5 years. And that includes your training as well. Damn reasonable.
Now this would save a lot of money if you're planning to import a rifle or some smart pistol. For example. Beretta PX Storm CO2. Pyramyd's selling it for 89USD + 74 USD shipping. Why would you buy the same pistol for 40k? I have read some posts where members have commented that having a club membership is an expensive deal, and thats why paying some premium to the dealers is preferable. Well, join Lakshya in that case.
Happy shooting!

The reduction of pain does not necessarily mean you're emotionally complete with your friend who died. It may only mean that you're adapting to the loss. (Published 5-8-2012)
Q:My friend was hit and killed on the night of April 9, 2011. Will the pain ever ease a little? She is all I can think of. It will probably affect my grades. Is there any way to help ease the pain?
Russell Friedman Replies:
Dear Michael,
Thanks for your note and questions.
We imagine the sudden death of your friend has turned your world upside-down.
And with that, YES, your grades will probably be affected. The most common reaction to loss is an inability to concentrate. We's suggest you make your situation known to your teachers, and if necessary request extensions for doing homework or taking tests. With that in mind, be gentle with yourself if you discover that you can't focus very well for now, and even for some time to come.
As to trying to ease the pain and when that might happen: Since everyone is a unique individual, it's impossible for us to guess how long the "raw" pain will affect you. We can tell you that rather than trying to fight it or avoid it, go with it. The pain you feel is the normal and natural reaction to the death of your friend. As your mind, your heart, and your body adapt to the new and unwanted reality, the pain will naturally subside.
However, the reduction of pain does not necessarily mean you're emotionally complete with your friend who died. It may only mean that you're adapting to the loss.
To deal with the emotional incompleteness that is an automatic by-product of this sudden death, go to the library or bookstore and get a copy of The Grief Recovery Handbook. As you read it and take the actions it outlines, you'll find the pain diminishing, even though you will still have feelings and miss your friend.
From our hearts to yours,
Russell And John

Father returns from Afghanistan to surprise daughter at game
Tampa Bay Times
A man wearing a Rays uniform and a catcher's mask and pads squatted behind the plate. As the ball rolled toward him, he stepped forward and scooped the ball in his glove.
Alayna thought there was something odd about the way he caught the ball. It wasn't quite how a professional ballplayer would do it.
The man at the plate stood and lifted his mask. It was her father, Lt. Col. Will Adams.
She sprinted to him. He swept her into his arms. VIDEO

If you groove on the smell of fresh ground chum, enjoy the odor of bunker oil, and yearn to inhale the fantastic fragrance of all things fishy – while attracting apex predators to your hook – then Fish Bomb is for you. This is one of those product introductions that we outdoors writers live for; what could be cooler than a pocket-sized can that blasts out a pressurized cloud of fish oil?!?
The guys that came up with the Buck Bomb are not only hunters, they're anglers, too. And their new Fish Bomb is exactly what you'd expect. Bunker oil is crammed into a five-ounce aerosol, with a button that can be partially depressed to send out a spurt of greasy goodness, or completely depressed to create a pheremone explosion. Just don't remove the safety seal and then get in your truck – an accidental deployment could be tragic.
This stuff is brand-spanking-new, so I haven't had the chance to field test it just yet (stay tuned, I'll report back soon) but I set off a can in the back yard to see how it worked. The smell was bunker-licious, and I expect my wife to let me back into the house sooner or later. The mad bombers tell me that this stuff works great when you spray it on your trolling lures, or lower it into the water and create a massive slick (one can will disburse into a slick the size of a football-field) to troll through. I can't wait to try these tactics, though I wonder if it'll prove to be even more valuable for taming mutinous crew-members. It goes for $10 a can; check it out at www.fishbomb.com.

-- OK -- let's talk more FaceBook you know all of those FaceBook millionaires newly minted pushing real estate prices higher jet called -- is chief economist.
Trulia dot com and he joins us now Jeff thanks for being with us you know -- read read your note here that -- -- FaceBook IPO -- -- is a big day for Bay Area.
Real estate why is that.
That's right to the FaceBook IPO.
Is fueling the rise in prices that were already seeing any area right around FaceBook.
But I look at the ten mile circle right around Facebook's campus called FaceBook metropolitan area prices for homes that aren't even up half percent and a half.
Vs a year ago and rents are actually up 12%.
Vs a year ago that faster than the Bay Area and -- the US as a whole.
Yeah that's right and even if I'm a newly minted millionaire and FaceBook and I -- I wanna buy in the Bay Area up.
Are you sure that's a good asset class for me to put money into it's gonna go up more in the next five years -- stocks well.
So what we -- in the Bay Area is right now the problem that we always -- which is it's so hard to build new housing in the Bay Area when you have.
Facebook's IPO when your job growth more generally you have more money chasing pretty much the same number of homes.
That means that when you have more money to spend on real estate from a big IPO we're gonna see prices go up.
In other places if there were big IPO in Texas or North Carolina.
-- see more construction activity because it's easier to build in those markets prices wouldn't go up as high.
But the economy would expand but in the Bay Area the actions almost always on the price side night.
Of the -- all the supply and demand taken hold there and also do uncertain nearby towns or cities lose because FaceBook.
It is gaining you say gotta be San Francisco they're down zero point 2% vs a year ago there.
Asking price.
If -- would actually seen in the past few months prices even in San Francisco antennas are also going up.
So the FaceBook IPO effect will spill over through the whole Bay Area and because there's so little housing available.
-- inventories are shrinking.
FaceBook employees and investors might look even farther afield and push up homes across the Bay Area.
All right thank you Jen called -- that's a great thing about wealth creation guy she got a celebrated -- -- Well let's -- -- a trip that's out west.

The Mentorship program offers a nurturing and supportive relationship to guide new nurses in their professional development. In this program, a new graduate nurse is paired with an experienced nurse from a different department. The role of the mentor is to guide and counsel the new nurse as she/he transitions into the role of a professional nurse. The mentorship program is distinct from the preceptor program. While the preceptor program serves to provide knowledge and skills, the mentor program is designed to provide role adjustment and social support.
To develop supportive and encouraging relationships
To guide new nurses in their professional, personal and interpersonal growth
To promote mutuality and sharing based on the needs of colleagues
To communicate information concerning expectations, learning opportunities and stressors.
Who are the Mentors and how do I get one?
Mentors have at least two to three years of experience as an RN and have worked at Aspirus Wausau Hospital for a minimum of one year. All mentors have a clear desire to support new nurses who are beginning their professional career.
New graduate nurses hired into all departments are eligible for this voluntary program. If you are interested in this opportunity, please inform the nurse recruiter.
Program evaluation
The mentor and mentee complete evaluations at three and six months. These evaluations measure the new nurse's confidence, job satisfaction and intent to stay as well as if this program has met its objectives. Graduate nurse retention and turnover rates are measured to determine the program's success.

Read more here.What's Next for Fun.? Next Single Has Paul Simon Roots
With "We Are Young," the first single from its sophomore album holding the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for a fifth week, fun. hopes to keep the momentum going with its successor, the title track from the "Some Nights" album.
Frontman Nate Ruess tells Billboard that it was a case where the title actually came before the song. "I think we were somewhere in Scotland, touring, and I told the guys, 'Hey, check it out. I want to call the album 'Some Nights,'" Ruess recalls. "I had no idea where that came from, but they were like, 'That is a fantastic name for an album!' So I had to start figuring out what that meant for me and write a song about it."
Ruess says he settled into a lyrical idea about "just being someone different on any given night," while he drew on a variety of sources for the musical end of the song. "I was thinking about 'Graceland,' the Paul Simon album, for some reason. I had the chorus for the song and I didn't know what I was going to do with the verse, and I remember writing down, 'This will be the best song you've ever written' and was like, 'Alright. I guess I kind of have to challenge myself...' As soon as I felt it was an entire song I showed it to the guys and they were just like, 'We got it, let's go,' which was really exciting. That was the case for the entire album, too; I never had to explain myself. But ('Some Nights') was the first song that really happened for, and it kind of showed me that we were moving as one for the whole album."
Ruess knows "Some Nights" has a formidable task following up the Janelle Monae-featuring "We Are Young," however. Clearly "stoked" by the single's success and the band's raised profile because of it, he's quick to give props to fun.'s new association with Fueled By Ramen for breaking the song in a big way.

A team of volunteers from the Aldergrove Seventh Day Adventist Church turned up on Cathy Dunn's doorstep on Dec. 24 morning with an early Christmas gift.
The entourage from the church's Acts of Kindness (AOK) ministry was there to announce that Dunn and her two sons - ages seven and 13 - had been selected as the recipients of the 10th annual Extreme Home Repair.
The Dunn family was picked out of about 18 nominees, to have their home "basically gutted" said AOK pastor Michael Dauncey.
"Every year, it's been pretty clear to us the person who is in the most need of help," he said.
This year, after weeks of reviewing and visits to five of the most-needy candidates, the Dunn family was picked.
The home at 26579 30 A Ave. is in such disrepair that, in fact, the family is living on bare plywood floors and is in desperate need of a new roof.
"We think we might have to gut it right down to the 2X4s," Dauncey said, describing it as one of their more extensive job.
"We're going to be redoing everything, including the electrical, right from scratch."
These local makeovers are 10-day project organized every May and undertaken by a team of church and community volunteers.
The recipient family is asked to leave the home for the duration of the project, and brought back for a special reveal - much like Ty Pennington does on the television show Extreme Home Makeover.
This year's makeover starts May 9, with the finished product being reveal May 20.
Given that this is the 10th anniversary of the Acts of Kindness program, Dauncey said it would be cool to have the likes of Pennington or philanthropist Oprah Winfrey be part of the finale, but he's still working on that.
"It's shooting for the stars," Dauncey said, but he's going to try.
During the last few years, the AOK team has - just by luck of the draw and based on need - renovated Aldergrove homes.
"We're going to change Aldergrove, one house at a time_ it's kind of rewarding to know we're making such a difference," said Dauncey.
Prior to the Christmas Eve visit, Dunn had been notified - along with a handful of other people - that she'd been nominated. But she didn't know she'd been picked as the 2013 recipient.
The AOK team arrived under the pre-text of doing a follow-up visit and introduce AOK pastor Dauncey, who had been out of town during the nominee reviews. Much to Dunn's surprise, it was more than a meet and greet.

The General Accuracy of District and Appellate Judgeship Case-Related Workload Measures
GAO-09-1050T, Sep 30, 2009

Biennially, the Judicial Conference, the federal judiciary's principal policymaking body, assesses the need for additional judges. The assessment is based on a variety of factors, but begins with quantitative case-related workload measures. This statement focuses on (1) whether the judiciary's quantitative case-related workload measures from 1993 were reasonably accurate; and (2) the reasonableness of any proposed methodologies to update the 1993 workload measures. This statement is based on work completed and reported in 2003 and discussed in testimony on June 17, 2008.
In 2003, GAO reported that the 1993 district court case weights were reasonably accurate measures of the average time demands that a specific number and mix of cases filed in a district court could be expected to place on the district judges in that district. At the time of GAO's 2003 report, the Judicial Conference was using case weights approved in 1993 to assess the need for additional district court judgeships. The weights were based on data judges recorded about the actual in-court and out-of-court time spent on specific cases from filing to disposition. This methodology permitted the calculation of objective, statistical measures of the accuracy of the final case weights. In 2003, GAO reviewed the research design the Judicial Conference's Subcommittee on Judicial Statistics had approved for updating the 1993 district court case weights, and had two concerns about the design. First, the design assumed that the judicial time spent on a case could be accurately estimated by viewing the case as a set of individual tasks or events in the case. Information about event frequencies and, where available, time spent on the events would be extracted from existing databases and used to develop estimates of the judge-time spent on different types of cases. However, for event data, the research design proposed using data from two data bases that had yet to be integrated to obtain and analyze the data. Second, unlike the methodology used to develop the 1993 case weights, the design for updating the case weights included limited data on the time judges actually spent on specific types of cases. Specifically, the proposed design included data from judicial databases on the in-court time judges spent on different types of cases, but did not include collecting actual data on the noncourtroom time that judges spend on different types of cases. Instead, estimates of judges' noncourtroom time were derived from the structured, guided discussions of about 100 experienced judges meeting in 12 separate groups (one for each geographic circuit). Noncourtroom time was likely to represent the majority of judge time used to develop the revised case weights. The accuracy of case weights developed on such consensus data cannot be assessed using standard statistical methods, such as the calculation of standard errors. Thus, it would not be possible to objectively, statistically assess how accurate the new case weights are--weights on whose reasonable accuracy the Judicial Conference relies in assessing judgeship needs. The case-related workload measure for courts of appeals judges is adjusted case filings in which all cases are considered to take an equal amount of judge time except for pro se cases--those in which one or more of the parties is not represented by an attorney--which are discounted. In our 2003 review, we found no empirical basis on which to assess the accuracy of this workload measure. Although a number of alternatives to the adjusted filings measure have been considered, the Judicial Conference has been unable to agree on a different approach that could be applied to all courts of appeal.

Bell's Velocity Flow Ventilation System literally pulls air through the helmet, keeping the rider cooler.
Bell's 3Mode Shield w/ ClickRelease allows for instant on-bike shield adjustments and the fastest, easiest, tool-free shield swaps ever.
Magnefusion Strap Keeper
Bell's patented Magnefusion strap keeper replaces the often hard-to-locate strap snap with an elegant magnetic solution that easily engages and secures the strap end.
This is the absolutely best helmet I've every used, period!
I've had this helment for about a year now and I love it. Air flow is the best of any helment that I have ever had. Good fit and finish. Minimal buffeting at speed, I think my head is more stable than with no helment at all. Very light weight! I will buy another Bell Starr Carbon HESS!!!!! It's kinda pricey but I think it was Bell that once said "if you have a $20 head, wear a $20 helment."
I own 2 Bell Star helmets (Speed Freek, Black Beauty)
So needless to say im impressed. Love the areodynamics of the head checks as well as the stableness of high speed straights. Fit and finsh is flawless as well as the graphics. For $600 range you cant find better!
I have the speed freak and love it! Very stable and head check are effortless. This helnet is perfect for summer as the air flow is the best i have found. As for the fit and finish, Awesome! Im about ready to get the black beauty for my second one. If i had to find one thing that could be improved it would be wind noise, it has a little more noise than some, but not enough to sway my satisfaction.
love the helmet except for the noise, the neck area has some gaps between the pads that cause loud wind noise. otherwise the cooling is crazy good, the shield release is easy, the magnet in the strap is a great touch and the styling is cool
good light weight helmet
I've been in this helmet for a couple of months now and I have literally zero complaints. Stable at speed - and oddly enough, it seems like it's MORE stable doing head checks. The matte carbon finish looks terrific as does the overall look of the helmet - very aggressive...best looking lid on the market, IMO. Air flow is terrific without being too noisy and the placement of air onto your face is also to be commended - with other helmets I had to make certain I had plenty of chapstick and drank plenty of water on hot days because air was directed into my mouth instead of on the sides of my face. Outstanding product - all they need to do it put the Josh Herrin replica up for sale and the lineup will be even better!
