Customer Reviews
- never in my life have i had fun charging batteries. this unit is just plain spectacular and worth every penny. still learning what it can do as well. purchase with confidence. you wont be disappointed. spyder batteries are of a very nice quality as well. i have 2-2s 5300's that i am using in my slash with many cycles now and zero issues. every thing arrived in a few days along with a business card from one of the staff should i have any questions. that goes a long way in my opinion. i will purchase from progressiveRC again. thanks!
- Very nice product. It will take me awhile to realize the full potential of this charger but already I am able to utilize capabilities which far exceed the Turnigy equipment that I have been utilizing up until now. I also appreciate the quiet operation.
- this charger works great! plenty of power and it is a reasonable size. using the software is tricky at first but i got the hang of it pretty quick.
- Used a Triton2 EQ for the last 3 years. Finally made the step up to the PL6 and am very satisfied with it. I doubt I'll ever need anything else! Unbelievably fast shipping. Ordered on a Friday morning and had it on the East Coast by Monday Afternoon! Great product and great service from Progressive!
I already had an iCharger 206b which was fine for my quads and planes. However I wanted something I could charge faster with as I get better and spend more time flying than I do crashing. I hooked this up to 2 server PSUs and I can charge 4s packs at 40amps now. What a difference... I now use my 206b for my 3s packs or Tx packs. Its nice to have options. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3834/9162114071_02e3e4c346_b.jpg
http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5524/9162045811_e7594ba590_b.jpg - I can't really add any more then what has already been said. This is a great and safe charger. I moved up to 12s setups and needed a powerful charger and this one is perfect. It's worth the money. I've owned a lot of different chargers in the last 4 years, but I think this will be the last for awhile. You can't go wrong with the FMA powerlabs.
I ve bought this charger with Fma usb cable on 2th of January 2013.
2-3 weeks later i ve received the order but the fma cable was not in the package.ProRC told me when i asked them about that ''When we shipped your order we were out of stock of the USB adapter, but we wanted you to get your charger as soon as possible. We have since sent out your USB adapter, it was shipped to you on the 10th. Hopefully you will receive it soon.'' Of course When i ve placed my order the fma cable WAS in stock(according to the site).
For history i haven't received the usb cable yet.6 weeks passed since 10th of January and 8 since my original purchase.The product is great but the service of ProgreesiveRC terrible.
ProgressiveRC Comment: We apologize that the out of stock notice was not clear or was overlooked. We have shipped all of your order including backordered items at our additional cost. Delivery time is still within a normal window, and we apologize for any slight delay caused in transit by the shipping courier. It sounds like you're taking this out on the wrong guys, we've done our best here - best wishes and good luck! Please let us know if we can help and we will be happy to do so. -
I am in Australia and we have a few retailers here that sell the PL6 only trouble is that they are a bit greedy and still want to charge way over the top.
Everything that I have ever purchased from PRC has been spot on both with price and shipping and there service is top notch.
I would rather wait a little longer for my product and know that it is exactly what I ordered and the PL6 wil suit all my needs and it so simple to use and set up. - Very easy to navigate site, ordering was easy, quality products, fast shipping, good follow up. Everything web-based shopping should be. A+

(Re)Destroy/(Re)Build (credit goes to Vegedus at snafu-comics.com in the Role Playing forum) (OOC link)
"I woke up from a dream, yet my eyes see only nightmares. Corpses in the streets and a shrieking red maelstrom where the sky is supposed to be. The world itself seems to be dying and nothing really makes sense. Today, I accidentally walked into someone's memories, nearly killed her as a child. I never thought I'd miss the laws of physics being consistent this much. The voice tells me to fight, to destroy this broken world and the last ones in it and I'll be able to create a new one. One without senseless suffering like this, perhaps. I shouldn't believe it, but my gut tells me otherwise. When I unlocked my power, instinctively, I knew I was born for this."
- The setting is our modern day world, struck by a supernatural calamity, killing all but a handful of all living beings in the entire cosmos. Reality is slowly dissolving, allowing a new universe to be born, in a cycle that has supposedly been going on forever. This new world will be designed according only to a single vision and the survivors are to determine which it'll be.
- It's a sorta action-intrigue kind of game. The characters have awesome powers and the most straightforward way of accomplishing their goals is to kill the others. However, it's not the only way, diplomacy, mindfucking and backstabbing also being quite effective. PvP is to be expected, either way. Drama, angst and general roleplaying faffing about is also encouraged. Really, it's about whatever the characters do, because...
- It's a sandbox game. There's no pre-written plot. As a GM I have a couple of characters meant for stirring shit up and a couple mysteries up my sleeve, but no plot, no sequences you have to go through. All the characters have a central goal they should pursue with vigor, and how they go about it, and what they do in between, is the story. I'll do some of it, but you're still largely in charge of interesting things happening in and around your character.
- There's a resolution system in play, so fights aren't won by whoever posts most aggressively. It's based on the concept of "no guts, no glory"; a risk has to be taken for anything to be accomplished. Inversely, you can't lose something you haven't risked. I've tried to keep it simple and non-intrusive and it can be bypassed entirely if people would rather not deal with it.
- The concept is heavily inspired by the videogame Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, and a little by the others in the series as well. There's lots of differences though and the game isn't canon or required knowledge or anything. If you have played it, you're free to draw as much inspiration as you want from it.
A ritual older than time was enacted and the end of the world came swiftly. The sky turned in a red, swirling vortex and all life started dying in a matter of moments. Billions of people fell dead immediately, at best letting out a scream first. You watched this, catched a glimpse of building contorting and changing size, shadows coming alive and reality itself destabilizing before blacking out. In your unconscious mind a voice spoke to you. It explained how the destruction of the universe had been set in motion. How it was a necessary step in the rebuilding of a new one. And how you could be the one to rebuild it according to your own vision, as a god incarnate. This vision, this burning flame for change is the only reason you are still alive, one in a billion. You are not alone, however. There are others with visions just as strong. They will have to persuaded to your way of thinking or be killed. The new universe cannot be created until then. Your weapons have been readied. Reality, fickle as it this close to the end, can be bent to your will, your soul's strength materialized. The rest is up to you.
The game takes place in New York, simply because it's a big city that most of us are somewhat familiar with. It's also the eye the storm, the most stable place in a deteriorating world, though that doesn't say much. Like everything else, the earth is steadily dissolving. At the start of the game, the points farthest from New York, which is Australia, is effectively gone, and the rest is going too. Keep in mind though, reality is not consistent, walk through a door and you may find yourself seemingly on another place on earth. Your character can also come from anywhere, and be in New York for specific or mystical reasons or for no reason at all. The city streets are littered with corpses, well-preserved and lifeless in a doll-like manner, though there are also many who are conspicuously clean. It's dark everywhere because the sun is not visible anymore, instead there is the fluctuating, red glow from the vortex and the occasional working street lamp. Like everything, electricity is inconsistently working in some places and not others. While the major streets and landmarks most lodged into the worlds subconscious look like themselves, odd things and places can be found in every alley. What I'm trying to say is, that it is your world too and you may fill in what you like, as long as it matches the overall theme.
The game will start one day after the calamity started. This is to kickstart things a bit so we don't have to spend more time than needed on "omg, this is horrible!". "omg, I haz special power?" and "omg, nothing makes sense!". Basically, your character already knows what's going on to the detailed here and the shock may have lessened a bit. Wangst is still good though and your character may still be finding their sea-legs, if you think that's interesting. It's just so we can skip past a bit of the unnecessary set-up and exposition. Your character may also have been sleeping for all of that time, if you do think the "reveal" is interesting. Alternatively, you can always do flash-backs. It's also enough time you may have met some of the other characters already, but you should state it explicitly in your character sheet if you have.
What you can always do
The rules come into play when you enter into a conflict with another character and during special, player-initiated challenges, and only then. For all other parts of the game, you say what happens and that is what happens. So yeah, you can go scaling up the sides of buildings, invent parts of the landscape or one-shot random monsters, without me stopping you. You should not fuck with physics in a way your characters power does not enable you to, but since the setting itself is messed up, there's a certain amount of leeway to be had by detailing your surroundings instead. Gravity might be weaker or tilted in an area, the food you're eating might last you for days somehow and there might just be a convenient hole in space to escape through. You can just declare this and it'll be true. What you cannot do, however, is dictating anything about what happens to another character than your own. Not without using the conflict resolution rules.
When you enter into conflict with another character, the rules kick in. As mentioned, it works both as a safety net, and an encouragement to risk it all and win some fights, dammit. Conflicts can be of any nature: physical fights, social, trying to convince someone to join your cause, a mind battle, who can sprint the fastest, whatever. The players involved are the ones that decide when something counts as a conflict, and initiates it themselves. The only requirement is that two characters is in direct opposition, having opposite goals. It's probably most suited for combat, and while I think it'll work well for social intrigue also, it's perfectly fine if people would rather just "talk it out". The rules will often get you further in terms of the game's overall goal though (or further away if you lose, heh).
Initiating Conflict
At any point, anyone can identify they are now in a conflict. First, they'll do the usual thing and post something about what their character does, probably something drastic like throwing the first punch. Then, in spoiler tags at the end of their post they should detail two things: Their risks and style bonuses. Risks are what you are willing to let happen to your character, mostly in the case that you lose. Bigger risks means higher bonuses which help your odds of winning. You cannot enter into a conflict without risking anything. When one player has posted their risks, the other player should respond in kind, posting first how their character responds and their chosen risk. Then either I or the players roll two ten-sided dice for each combatant, adding in the bonuses, and the higher sum wins. More on this later. Each player should then follow up with a post detailing the consequences of the roll. The winning player generally have the right to describe the infliction of the risks the loser chose. If they risked serious bodily harm, the winner is allowed to describe how they beat up the losers character, badly. They can also let the precise effects of some of them be up to the other part, as might be appropriate with mental risks and such. The loser has the right to describe how the conflict ends, whether they surrender, flee in haste or just leave in a huff, unless one of their risks specifically dictates how the fight should end. In its most compact form, a conflict takes four posts, but can be longer. Not all risks have to be taken right away, but can be "built" up over multiple posts. For instance, the initiator can add to their risks if the opponent bids much higher. The resolution after can also be done in multiple posts, the ultimate outcome is just set in stone when the dice are rolled.
The Risks
Below is the standard lists of risk you can take. They're divided into categories of how much of a bonus it gives you. +1 is awarded for bad, but not debilitating stuff that can mended, +2 is something lasting or particularly nasty, +3 is something incapacitating that puts you at the mercy of your opponent and +6 radical, permanent change of the character, death and what's worse. You can at max take enough risks to get a total bonus of +10, and you take max 2 risks in the +1 category, max 1 from all the others. The list goes:
+1: Temporary Setbacks
- Losing a very useful, but not significant item
- Serious fatigue, needing rest for most of remaining day
- Serious embarrassment and disreputation, in ones own eyes and others
- Question your own beliefs
- Gain respect for the specific opponent/change your view of them
- Power exhausted, completely unusable for 24 hours
- Accidentally hurt an ally or innocent
- A small, but nagging injury or mental trauma (-1 in your next conflict)
+2: Lasting Hurt
- Losing a personal, unique and important item, to your opponent if they wish
- Conceding to any reasonable demands of your opponent
- Minor mental breakdown, impacted self-confidence or rationality for an indefinite duration
- Power unstable and dangerous for a long while (essentially giving me, the GM license to fuck with it and you)
- A fixable, but serious injury or trauma, like heavy blood loss or temporary insanity (-2 in your next conflict)
- A permanent injury or trauma, like a crushed bone or a new phobia (-1 in all conflicts, unless you get someone else capable to mend it)
+3: Losing the Fight
- Surrender, on their terms
- Concede to their way of thinking
- Incapacitated, knocked out cold
- Captured, to be dealt with later
- Bleeding out, dead without help
- A part of yourself, like a limb, or your power, gone forever.
+6: Lose Yourself
- All but a slave to their opponent, bound to follow their every command
- Mind forever broken and lost track of your goal, catatonic or insane
- Subsumed by your own power, integrated in the fabric of the current universe
- Dead, your corpse the foundation of the next universe
This is not a complete list, you can, and I hope you will, make up your own risks along the way. What makes sense will often depend on the specific situation. Like, if you know your opponent wants something specific from you, risk that. It's good sport. These are mainly examples so you know what categories they should fit into. Note that the math works out so that you gain a pretty sizeable advantage by taking more risks than your opponent, but it's never completely unlikely you will lose. The most important thing rule though, is you may never inflict something on your opponent that they have not risked, or you have not won the right for yet. You may not inflict serious wounds on another character (cuts, bruises and flesh wounds should be fine), you may not kill a character you have captured, before winning the right to do exactly that. The rules expect some degree of gentlemanly conduct from you.
Conflict Resolution Detailed
So, you write about post where you duke it out, decide what risks you're willing to take. You post them in spoiler tags at the end of your post like so:
Or similar. You also post it in the OOC if you prefer, and it's not crowded that day. Once all involved in the conflict have posted all the risks, the dice have to be rolled. I can do that for you, or you can do it yourself to speed things up. Either way, the rolling is done via this website. Input your character's name, roll 2d10 plus your total bonus. The site saves the rolls so they can be looked up later, so there's no cheating. Whoever has the highest sum is the winner, and has the right to make true all the risks the loser took. They can do however many of them they want, them all, or just a select few, if they wish. If the difference of the two results are less or equal to 3 (20 and 17 for instance), the loser may inflict one +1 or +2 category risk on the winner, as a consolation prize. If the two results are exactly equal, both may inflict ALL +1 or +2 category risks on the other, and can then either start a new conflict or solve it in a more civil manner. As mentioned, the winner has the right to make the risks come true, but take advantage of the OOC thread and communicate, discuss which specific outcomes are the most fun and such. You also never HAVE to inflict all the risks as the winner, you can chose which ones you make happen. Fights with multiple opponents work just the same, it people are in "teams", on team can win, otherwise there's always only one winner. Someone who rolled higher than one but lower than another is still effectively a loser, but may help in realizing the risks of those with lower sums.
Hopefully this all makes sense. There's one other thing you can do with the rules, called challenges. If you're ever bored, you can end your post (or post in the OOC) with "Challenge" in spoiler tags. When you do this, I, as the GM, will follow up by making your characters life... Interesting. I'll throw monsters, falling-rubble, spontaneous black holes or something else at you. Then I'll post in spoilers a target number you have to beat. You'll do the usual thing and post your characters actions and chosen risks. The roll happens and if the roll is less than the target, I get to act on your risks. Equal to, or above, and nothing bad happens, and something good might. Roll 3 or more above the target number, and you at least get a +1 to your next conflict or challenge, but challenges might also provide opportunities, for instance for healing, but it varies.
Challenges are really the only way in which I'm a traditional GM. If no-one is initiating challenges, I'll just play my characters and adjudicate the rules. Otherwise, you're in charge of things happening. If you ever can't figure out what you should do, put in the challenge flag, and something will come to you. Alternatively, you can put in "Challenge (no dice)" and there won't be any risks taken or dice rolling business, but still dangers and opportunities coming at you.
A conflict is any time you are in direct opposition with another character. Post in spoiler tags at the end of your post the risk you are willing to take. Max +10 in risks can be taken, and max one from every category, except for +1, where it's 2.
Your opponent will do the same. Keep posting until you both have all the risks and bonuses you want. Roll 2d10 plus your bonus via this website or signal me to do it for you. The one with the highest roll may inflict all the others risks taken on them. If the difference between the two sums are less than four, the loser may also inflict a +1 or +2 risk on the winner. In a draw, both can inflict all such on the other.
If you're ever in doubt about what to do in the game, post "Challenge!" in spoilers and I'll throw something interesting and/or dangerous at you.

I first came across Benghazi at a Exodus Studio on Red Hills road. He is one of the regulars around there (where I've been doing some work recently) but it wasn't until I was formerly introduced to him at Stone Love HQ one night that I found out that Bhenghazi is actually a philosopher.
As you will see in this clip and subsequent clips, Benghazi covers a broad spectrum of topics with a very unique speaking style that pretty much defies description as he pushes the boundaries of free speech about as far they can go.
In this first clip my assistant Mark 1 asks Benghazi about black people…and it begins.

McDonald's to post calorie counts on menus nationwide

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Big victories for the third police this week McDonald's announcing it will be posting calorie counts on all of its menus nationwide that's not some Monday.
And New York City is banning lots of places from selling supersize sodas and other sugary drinks and -- you think that.
You know you think you're big on him verbally it's gonna be bad for the economy bad for jobs -- you hate it you got -- How it is frightened me Cheryl I mean first rather than direct economic impact think about all the hundreds of thousands of dollars it's gonna be -- cost of that million dollars nationwide.
To print -- the -- sign inched up to comply with these new completely arbitrary laws.
And the fact that.
New York and actually passing next -- asinine.
Beverage size band when they -- -- mandated the size of the many signage two years ago people actually consume more calories government control actually hurts the problem it's supposed to remedy and the fact that it's.
Imposing more on people's private lives.
Thanks pretty frightening.
You know way you know if you look at the history McDonald and they've been giving -- -- nutritional information for thirty years it's not like it's a big secret -- this really much of a stretch.
For somebody like McDonald's has to offer and a well I I I.
I don't think that's the danger that I mean the -- the big danger I mean the one that Jonathan talking about I think -- minor compared to the fact that you're allowing the government to coerce you under some.
Health -- reason.
To do things that a personal and private for you I mean the next thing they're gonna do is say we're -- -- regulate clothing because in the wintertime you can catch a cold if you don't -- such and such.
I -- the fact that they have inserted themselves into the private lives of American people to this extent under the guise of helping health which is -- we all look great with that but that's a personal choice it's not up to the government to tell me where I -- -- and what I can -- Okay -- -- here's thing here's the joys of McDonald's about a twenty piece chicken nugget it's 940 calories -- that's my -- actually didn't think that I look I was I don't.
-- -- Back to sort of accounting periods of capitalism you know -- Adam Smith himself said that there is -- an important role for government in helping make sure that we have the information as consumers.
To make informed decisions and that we don't just let capitalism and don't just -- markets.
You know sort of do what exactly whatever it is they want and we know that we don't like about it it will slowly.
Test data that you get canned soda you get a candy bar they get a bag of chips.
It -- the calorie count the nutrition cannot.
Not because companies voluntarily decided to do that but because the government said look you have to provide that information to consumers and that's what -- -- -- them to do better but at.
How are you for -- more animation is.
All the information -- been available all this is an additional cost to people haven't had a.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- Strip that out all right so that's when he -- is 940 calories I'm grossed out by -- but it's not gonna stop anybody it doesn't change habits in all it's gonna do is make those twenty pieces.
That much more money.
And that's the problem is that people matters now eating at McDonald's -- and -- -- and an end up paying more.
That's where this hurts the economy just like the what about childhood obesity and -- that is a major issue that is that is the argument on the other side of this is that that's what's in me driving our help -- awesome.
For it's yeah childhood obesity diabetes are calls -- our country billions of dollars and it could be hundreds of millions dollars -- greater future look you're not telling some big fat now that walks in mcdonalds you can't have a cheeseburger lawyers say is hey look.
-- -- There's a lot of calories in this and are very good for you and money is -- people are still go to work -- McDonald's does have a lot of very healthy things on -- -- that a guy can look at now I think maybe I wanna eat a salad make me wanna go sell it works maybe you wanna go somewhere else that he.
It's just a matter of choices we're not stopping anybody -- that we the government the government not stopping by eating some bad there to say here are your options.
Get about you -- -- -- a little shot that Jonathan -- shopping on some big Mac right now are some Fries -- we're at the London daily diet.
I imagine -- well -- again I.
I don't think the cost of spreading that material is a big danger or anything like that it's the idea that where -- headed towards a fascist regime in which you know why don't the government just mandate.
That everybody whose bat has to be a certain white and you get on -- -- -- -- you have a white you get tax that's what we're confident and it's just incited G and did GBL's pointed me JBL think there's oft quoted statistics about the national cost of obesity.

Tod's Boomerang East-West Satchel, Handbag of the Day
This bag is cute, but I am a little perplexed by the flap closure. Maybe this isn't important to everyone, but I like a bag that is easy to close. The large flap tucked under the giant brass logo ring looks tidy, but I wonder how easy that is to accomplish with one hand. At any rate, the bag looks sharp with aged brass hardware and contrasting top stitching against brandy-colored leather. I like the logo-etched studs all over the bag and the flat shoulder strap is just the right length with a 7.5 inch drop. Inside, the bag is lined and has a leather trimmed pocket . $1,033.

10 Attributes to Support Revenue Marketing and Sales Success.
10:18 AM EST Thu. Oct. 18, 2012Bruce Culbert, chief service officer at The Pedowitz Group, discusses how to ensure vendors have an organizational and programmatic commitment to your marketing and sales initiatives.
Finding a vendor partner with market leading and differentiated offerings is crucial to solution provider's success. There is no substitution for category leadership, market acceptance and overall growth potential as key attributes for selecting vendor partners.
It is critical to invest your time with the right vendor partners who have the depth of commitment in offerings, programs, marketing and sales support. Most of us do not have the luxury to invest in multiple relationships so we need to get it right from the start.
However, that alone will not lead to success for solution provider partners. If the vendor does not have an organizational and programmatic commitment to your marketing and sales initiatives, you run the risk of being "all dressed up with no place to go." Many will ask for exclusive or quasi exclusive relationships within a given category. Before accepting this type of arrangement, you need to understand how your interests will be served. Obviously, vendors want to see partner sales of their solution grow and be meaningful. But can the same be said about their interest in their partners' growth and success?
[Related: How To Partner Successfully ]
Before you make the leap and sign up for sales numbers and start training personnel you should look carefully at how the vendor can help achieve your goals of growth and profitability. When evaluating a vendor's program, look for initiatives that demonstrate they have your best interest at heart, and the relationship has the potential to be a win-win.
Here are 10 attributes to look for in a vendor partner before going "all in."
1) Territories , sales and service goals are clearly defined between the vendor's sales team and the channel
2) Customer and prospect rules of engagement exist between the vendor's sales team and the channel and compliance is tracked and reported
3) The company's sales team is measured and/or compensated on partner revenue success
4) Vendor content, messaging, Revenue Marketing services and infrastructure are available for partners to leverage ( i.e. Marketing Automation and CRM systems, lead generation assets, programs and services)
5) Marketing funds and resources are available to support partner led initiatives that will drive opportunity for both companies, and the vendor is not just expecting investment in their own corporate led events
6) There are dedicated online and event marketing resources and personnel supporting the channels marketing and sales efforts e.g. Partner Marketing
7) Vendor leads for partners are scored and assigned to meet partner specific strengths and customer needs
8) Service Level Agreements are in place with clear measurements and reporting on what a partner is responsible for doing once they receive a lead
9) The company's in house support and service organization has insight into channel customers and works collaboratively on support and renewal efforts
10) Dedicated or named partner resources are available to provide technically support for both client and prospecting situations
The more of these attributes you find in a given company the better chances of success you, as a VAR or Service Partner, will have. All vendor programs are different and should be examined carefully before partnering and then leveraged fully once a partnership is in place.

Get bird's eye view of McDowell Sonoran Preserve Sept. 27
Sept. 18, 2012
Contact: Mike Phillips, public affairs manager, (480) 312-7825
Get bird's eye view of McDowell Sonoran Preserve Sept. 27
You're invited to a free video premiere featuring some remarkable aerial footage of Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
"Wings over the Preserve" takes place on Thursday, Sept. 27, at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. Second St.
Arizona's Official State Historian Marshall Trimble will host the event, which features a unique "bird's eye" view of the preserve's scenic landmarks. Experts also will be on hand to discuss the hiking, biking and other adventures available in the area.
An informational open house begins at 5 p.m. The video and discussion program begins at 6. Video highlights include the preserve's southern mountains and the new trails and trailheads opening this fall.
New amenities include the Tom's Thumb Trailhead, located three miles south of Dynamite Boulevard on 128th Street. It will be dedicated at a Mayor/City Council Breakfast on Oct. 18.
The trailhead will feature parking for 200 cars and 10 horse trailers, shade ramadas and restrooms. Water will not be available at the trailhead due to its isolated location.
The Trailhead provides new and expanded access to several unique regions of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve and the county's nearby McDowell Mountain Regional Park.
Hikers on the new Marcus Landslide Trail will be treated to a geologic wonderland of tilted rocks and immense boulders …. Sentinels that testify to a massive landslide that shaped this area roughly 500,000 years ago.
Informational signs along the trail are being provided through a generous gift from the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy. The signs will recount the region's geologic history, the landslide and its impact on the area today.
Another scenic hike departs the Tom's Thumb Trailhead heading southwest. The Tom's Thumb Trail features a steep, 800-foot vertical climb to a ridgeline below East End Peak, the highest point in the preserve.
The Sept. 27 video premiere will provide a virtual tour of these and other locations within Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The event is presented by the city of Scottsdale and the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy and serves as a prelude to October's McDowell Sonoran Preserve Month.
For more information on the event, contact 480-312-2511. To learn more about Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve, visit: preserve.

We live in a world of interconnectedness; the human-induced threats sea turtles and other species contend with – fishery impacts, coastal development, poaching, pollution, and climate change – are forces we all influence and all have the power to change. Take the following immediate actions and help protect sea turtles and other marine life, around the world.
Choose your seafood wiselySmart seafood choices are good for everyone: sea turtles, oceans, fishermen, you, and your family. Online resources such as Seafood Watch and the Marine Stewardship Council provide you with all the information you need to select the best catch of the day, whether at home or out on the town. Follow sustainable seafood guidelines and use your purchasing power to help improve this key industry.
Don't consume or purchase sea turtle productsWhen it comes to food, expose the myth: sea turtle eggs, meat, oils, and fat do not possess any special medicinal properties. They may, however, contain dangerous levels of toxins such as cadmium and mercury. When it comes to fashion, remember that no sea turtle products are safe to buy, even if marketed as antiques. Every tortoiseshell or turtle leather trinket bought, contributes to the continued poaching of sea turtles.
Support turtle-friendly development along coastlinesYou have the choice to support real estate and tourism developments that take care not to destroy beaches, sand dunes, and mangroves, as well as those that turn off lights in the evening to avoid discouraging sea turtles from nesting. If you own coastal property, find out how to minimize your impact on local wildlife. No matter where you live, Florida Fish & Wildlife's Beach Construction and Lights Guidelines are a resource you can use.
Keep rivers, streams, and oceans cleanEven if we don't directly place it there, our rubbish often ends up in the oceans. Some of it is carried by wind or in streams and rivers, while other forms of waste are just improperly disposed of. All of it causes damage to ocean wildlife. When disposing of your trash, first recycle as much as you can, and then take care to properly dispose of the rest. To help protect your local waters, join in the annual International Coastal Cleanup, or organize a cleanup in your area.
Reduce your carbon emissionsTo help minimize the effects of global warming on oceans, use energy-efficient appliances; turn off all lights and all electrical appliances when you aren't using them; reduce your use of hot water; drive less, consolidate short trips, and carpool when possible; and consider a fuel-efficient vehicle for your next car purchase. You can gauge your carbon emissions using CI's online carbon calculator.

Mr. WILLIAMS, of Knox, offered a joint resolution [H. R. 17] proposing an amendment to Section 6, Article 7, of the Constitution of the State.
Also, a joint resolution [H. R.] to amend Section 5 of Article 7 of the Constitution of the State.
Mr. JEWETT thought these resolutions were out of order. A provision of the Constitution declaring that when an amendment has been acted upon by a preceding General Assembly, and is awaiting the action of a succeeding one, no other amendment to the Constitution can be proposed for the ratification or rejection of the voters of the State. He, therefore, moved to reject them.
Mr SMITH, of Tippecanoe, moved to refer the resolution to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. WRIGHT insisted the House should decide this question without any trouble. Every member who believes the Constitutional amendments pending should vote for the rejection of the resolutions.
Mr. HEFFREN explained that if there are no amendments pending before the House at the present time passed by the last General Assembly and referred to this General Assembly, then the gentleman's resolutions are in order. If, however, the amendments passed by the last General Assembly are now pending before this General Assembly, then the gentleman's resolutions are not in order [Mr. Heffren here read the sections of the Constitution which provide for its own amendment] He asked that the gentleman from Knox (Mr. Williams) would withdraw his resolutions for the present, as he did not want the members of this House to be caught in a trap.
Mr. WILLIAMS, of Knox, said: My purpose is to secure if I can such amendment to the Constitution as will result in keeping out of the Indiana Reports all cases that have no public or general interest. As the law now stand's the reporter prints each and every case decided by the Supreme Court, and as a result, in the last two years ten Indiana Reports have been published. The Reports sell at S3 50 each, a good thing for the official reporter, but a heavy and unnecessary draft upon the people. I have given considerable time to an investigation of this matter, and I am satisfied that the Bench and Bar of this State are a unit in demanding relief. Each lawyer in the State who keeps up the Reports Is doing so at an expense of $1750 per year, and the State for Reports for the use of its officers pays $9,625 per year 'Thu is too much. Bills are pending here to reduce the price per volume, but the best way to get relief is to reduce the number. The Judiciary Committee is now investigating the question, and I hoped that these resolutions would go to that Committe. I have no fears about the Constitutional objection sought to be raised.
Mr. SMITH stated that so far as he knew and so far as the House knew there are amendments pending before this House at the present time, but if this House decides that there are no amendments now pending then any amendment or amendments may be proposed.
Mr. JEWETT said: My object in moving to reject, I very candidly confess, is to take the sense of this House whether or not these amendments are before this House. I am as well satisfied as to the condition of these amendments as if I had heard every member express themselves. Those who believe that the amendments are now pending are compelled to vote against these resolutions- I
Mr. GORDON moved to postpone further consideration of this subject until Friday 2 o'clock.
Pending which came the recess for dinner.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule roll out from the hangar for the CRS-2 launch to the International Space Station to deliver NASA cargo in March 2013.
Image: SpaceX, Ben Cooper
This story was updated at 10:45 a.m. ET.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A privately built unmanned spacecraft launched for NASA by the commercial spaceflight company SpaceX blasted into orbit Friday (March 1), but has experienced some sort of malfunction after separating from its rocket, the company says.
The robotic Dragon space capsule launched into orbit atop SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket in what appeared to be a smooth liftoff from a pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 10:10 a.m. ET (1510 GMT). But once in orbit, SpaceX officials reported a problem just after spacecraft separation, when the Dragon capsule was expected to deploy its solar arrays.
"It appears that, although it achieved Earth orbit, Dragon is experiencing some type of problem right now," SpaceX's John Insprucker said during the company's launch webcast.
The glitch appears to be related to Dragon's thrusters, which allow the capsule to maneuver in orbit.
"Issue with Dragon thruster pods," SpaceX founder Elon Musk wrote on Twitter. "System inhibiting three of four from initializing. About to command inhibit override." [Photos: SpaceX's Third Launch to Space Station]
SPACE.com will provide updates as new information is available.
Falcons and Dragons
This mission is Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX's second of a dozen contracted supply flights to the space station, part of a $1.6 billion agreement with NASA's Commercial Resupply Services Program.
The commercial space company was started in 2002 by Musk, a billionaire entrepreneur who also founded PayPal. The company's Falcon 9 rockets are named after the fictional Millennium Falcon spaceship from "Star Wars," while the Dragon capsules get their moniker from the song "Puff the Magic Dragon," Musk has said.
Although storms threatened central Florida earlier in the week, the skies cleared in time, and the rocket was "go" for liftoff.
The Dragon capsule is due to deliver 1,200 lbs (544 kilograms) of scientific experiments and supplies to the space station after docking on Saturday at 6:30 a.m. ET (1100 GMT). Among its bounty is food for the astronauts, including fruits picked from the orchard of a SpaceX employee's father, Shotwell said. The capsule is also carrying a copy of the song "Up in the Air" by the American rock band Thirty Minutes to Mars for NASA astronaut Thomas Marshburn, a flight engineer on the station.
The orbiting outpost is currently home to six crewmembers, led by Expedition 34 commander Kevin Ford of NASA. Ford and Marshburn will use the station's robotic arm to grab the Dragon capsule and attach it to the station, NASA officials said.
The flight will be Dragon's third visit to the space station, following a test flight in May 2012 and its first contracted cargo delivery mission in October of that year. SpaceX has taken precautions to avoid an engine anomaly that caused one of the Falcon 9's nine Merlin rocket engines to shut down during the October liftoff. Although the failure didn't prevent Dragon from docking safely to the station, it did cause a secondary payload, a prototype Orbcomm OG2 communications satellite, to miss its intended orbit and fall back to Earth.
Waiting astronauts
The residents of the space station have been preparing for Dragon's docking for some time, said Mike Suffredini, the manager of the International Space Station program office at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Engineers on the ground helped the astronauts update the space station's computers, including new upgrades to the software that controls the robotic arm that is expected to grab onto the capsule, Suffredini added.

Musical Heritage
Bringing American composers together
Okay, so normally, there's a big push of American music in the summer months. Like, oh, I don't know, around July-ish. But Dr. G. Barry Epperly doesn't care. He has programmed Celebrating America, which will feature the music of iconic American composers, including one piece about Oklahoma. It even has gunshots in it. More on that in a bit.
Epperly and the Signature Symphony will join forces with Oklahoma State University's Concert Chorale, directed by Z. Randall Stroope. Those readers not familiar with the world of choral music should note that what you're hearing after that last sentence is a squeal of delight from a choir nerd standing nearby, because Stroope is a pretty freaking big deal. So is his Concert Chorale.
"It's probably the best choral group I've heard in this state," Epperly said of the ensemble. Since he knows a thing or two about music, that's high praise indeed.
The choir and the symphony present a night of music called Celebrating America, and this is a program that has undergone a surprising amount of evolution since its conception two years ago.
Soon after Stroope arrived at OSU and took the reins of the choral music program, he invited composer Morten Lauridson to come to a concert where several of Lauridson's larger works would be performed. Epperly took notice of the name.
"It just so happens that Morten is Skip to me. We went to grad school at USC together," he said. "So I went and had lunch with Skip and Randall, and then went to the concert, and I hadn't heard anything like it. It was completely memorized in flawless French. I just sat there and thought, 'Wow.' It was just amazing."
After hearing Stroope's choir, Epperly wanted to work with the group.
"I visited with Randall a little bit that night, and I've gone over multiple times," he said. "I'm an OSU grad, so I stop in and have coffee or buy him a sandwich or stop in and listen to the groups. We've become pretty good friends."
So now we come to two years later, and Celebrating America is set to go. It's not what Epperly first envisioned, but it's nevertheless a program of which he's proud.
"A program starts here and ends up there," he explained. "So I called Randall and thought I'd have the 120 voices I'd just heard. He said, 'Yeah, I'm working on a new piece with full orchestra.'"
SIGNATURE SYMPHONY File Photo |
Then things began to change, and like people do with pretty much anything else in life, Epperly rolled with it.
"It morphed from 120 voices to 50, and it morphed from a full orchestra to an a capella piece," he said. "But we hung on to Bernstein and Copland. The program changed, but I'm pleased with it. It's got a nice shape."
The Bernstein to which he referred is actually two different pieces from the masterful composer. The Symphonic Dances from West Side Story is a huge work, and a pretty important piece of American music.
"It's a full symphony of dances. It's really fun, and just really hard as heck," Epperly said. "It's basically in the order that the show comes, which makes it interesting -- ending a monster like this with the death scene, which is with a flute solo and strings."
Not with a bang, but a whimper.
Composer Brant Adams' Heartland Trilogy is also on the program. Adams, like Stroope, is a part of OSU's music department, as well, and the Signature Symphony played this particular piece -- commissioned by the Signature Symphony for our state's centennial -- in a commemorative concert in 2007.
"We're going to do the last movement, which is 'Land Run.' It has gunshots and horses, and it's about 10 minutes of 7/8 visualization of the land run," Epperly said. He seemed really excited about this particular piece.
Stroope's Concert Chorale will perform Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, a tough but spectacular work, with the symphony and will also perform its own a capella segment. Finally, quintessential American composer Aaron Copland's Old American Songs rounds out the program of Americana.
"It's about as compact as it can be while running through a wide variety of American music, and those icons -- Bernstein and Aaron Copland," Epperly said.
So, 50 voices, an 80-piece orchestra. What's the conductor worried about?
"Everything," he said flatly and without a hint of hesitation. "When you have control of the whole thing, there are enough places for bumps in the road."
He frets about the difference between the performance hall to which the OSU singers are accustomed versus the VanTrease PACE. He worries aloud about the time signatures, some of which are unusual, difficult to play in, or both. He just worries. But who can blame him? There's a lot on this guy's plate.
"Delivering the Copland is not easy, because Copland is Copland. They're wonderful old American songs, but the orchestration is sparse," he said. "And we do our share of modern stuff, but I'm throwing three pieces at the symphony that are tough. The Chichester Psalms' whole first movement is in 7/8. The Adams piece is in a raging 7/8, and the other Bernstein, it changes all the way through. There are always places for foul-ups."
There's a pre-concert reception for OSU graduates, the president of the university will be there, and oh yeah, the governor might show.
"Still, basically, I guess I worry about the simple stuff -- 'what if someone plays an E instead of an E-flat?' he said. "That's just there and is a part of my life."
With only four rehearsals to put everything together, Epperly can't be blamed for nerves.
"Monday and Wednesday are just orchestra," he said. "Thursday, the Concert Chorale comes over, and then Friday, we do a dress rehearsal with everybody." Not a ton of chances to iron out mistakes. But chances are, between Epperly, Stroope, the OSU singers, and the fine players who make up the Signature Symphony, everything will come of spectacularly.
Tulsa's Signature Symphony presents Celebrating America on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 8pm in the VanTrease Performing Arts Center for Education at TCC's Southeast campus, 10300 E. 81st St. Tickets are available by phone at 918-595-7777 or online at myticketoffice.com.

I think Jensen Ackles is casted as Lana's boyfriend so that she can move on and Clark can move on too.
I don't know about you guys but, I found Lois really annoying. For some reason I find her chatteryness annoying and the way she acts kind of annoying, and no doubt Clark is annoyed by her too thats why he asked Lex to get her back to Metropolis. I just feel that the Lois character isn't quite natural and it doesn't flow too well for some reason.
Yes, Erica Durane(sp?) they put her name in guest star so she's still guest star and not a regular at the show.
Does anyone notice how Lana's boyfriend always have some relation to Football or sports? Jensen kind of reminds me of Whitney.
