I am starting this discussion to post information for testing the Px4 platform.
Most of the discussion is currently in the APM vs Px4 thread. ArduCopter on the Px4 is a work in progressand has made great progress. I have Arducopter on a Px4 Fmu board hovering now and I am very glad to see the code base integrated into the Stm32 platorm. Ardupilot represents many hours testing and refinement , many thanks to Andrew Tridgell ,Randy Mackay and the other developers as well as Gary Mcray for the documentation on the Wiki
The Px4 can support a Quad with 4 Motors using only the Px4_FMu board with some of its Usart pins defined as Pwm outputs or using the Px4_Io board to supply Pwm motor (servo) outputs. The configuration with the Io board may work better at the moment , the Fmu only has a number of issues to get booted up configured and running. It may be that all the testing at the moment is being done with boards that use the Px4_Io.
The Px4 usb is software driven not a ftdi chip like the Apm and has given problems but is working now . When the Stm32 bootloader starts it creates a Usb port with its own Id and sets up a DFU device for loading. If no bootloader request is received it jumps to the code startup and creates a usb serial port with a different USB Id for a mavlink connection. Windows drivers have to deal with the Usb connection and connect the appropiate driver.
I think the Px4 vs Apm answer is that it is still early in the Px4 development but shows great promise.

PX4 is perhaps for more advanced users, if you need the power you will buy it.
I understand.
I'm not asking about software tuning, but about such trivial things as protection case/normal pins/etc. Why APM boards are improving, but PX4 is not? 3DR not planning it as a head board for future development?
Why APM 2.6 with a good case and external compass is available, but the same PX4 version is not? 3DR don't want to have more profit from buyers? ;)
Thats why I'm asking about roadmap...
Hi All,
I have been experimenting with my full up PX4 and have found a possible issue when using the USB to power the full up PX4.
When powering the full up PX4 through the USB connection I have been using a powered USB hub and for good reason. If I try to power the full up PX4 with just the USB connection, it will not communicate with the MavLink connection though all of the leds appear as they should.
When powering the full up PX4 with a powered USB connection I can communicate with MavLink with no problem. However the GPS number of sats will drift all over the place from 0 to 5 and back down to 0. A measurement of the voltage being supplied to the GPS indicated an out of spec 3.96 vdc.
When powering the full up PX4 with a battery though the power converter, the GPS will get a solid lock of 7 sats or more indoors and the voltage supplied to the GPS is around an in spec 4.95 vdc.
When I say full up PX4 I am including the FMU, IO, GPS, Spektrum PPM R/C satellite receiver, and outboard compass. I am supplying the power converter with a 7.2 vdc NiMH battery.
When powering the PX4 with a battery through the power converter I do not feel that 4.95 vdc is sufficient as it does not leave much margin.
Has any other member experienced this phenomenon?
TCIII ArduRover2 Developer
Do you mean internal PX4 power converter or BEC?
USB alone is not enough, garanteed ;-) I see it on the PPM encoder.
I use 3S lipo connected with balancing cable to PX4 together with USB to APM planner.
Servo channels between PX4 and ESC I keep unconnected with APM (annoying beeping othervice, when not armed)
In flight I use battery connected to Q Brain (HK) and balancing cable to be sure(?)
Some 0.05s glitches with radio though, but otherwise ok.
Yes, I am referring to the power converter that is on the PX4 IO board.
TCIII ArduRover2 Developer
Need some advice. What is the Basic board or two that need with PX4 to get a quad, hex or octo flying. Thanks Roman Flying Apm 2.5 presently
This Arducopter Wiki guide may be of help: http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/px4fmu-plus-px4io-wiring/
TCIII Admin
The Px4 Fmu board processor package has a low pin count and limited number of lines for input and output. The Fmu only configuration uses the Usart 2 lines as Servo outputs for a Quad configuration. To drive more than 4 motors you have to have the IO board expansion to get drivers for hex or octo , it also has an inverter for subus , status leds and arming switch function
With Fmu only their is no status led output on the fmu board only the blue running led
No current sensing input but could probably be accessed .
@chester, i tried setting the battery voltage to actual voltage on the battery using MP. but when i switch the tab the figure resets to '0'. this is when selecting 'Px4'.
Maybe latest MP have changed something. I didn't update and fly my px4 for month maybe more(building skywalker 168 for long range) so I can't help you in this question.

My boyfriend doesnt understand...he hurts my feelings with the way he responds to my pregnant issues
Im 12 weeks 140 lbs 5'6" and he thinks i should get up and do some sort of exercise no matter how tired i am. I know he thinks i am fat but it bothers me when he tells me to do something as if i am just lazy and accepting the weight gain; i dont want to be fat i fear it almost as much as the labor (tell u bout his labor views in another stream) but i am too tired to want to do frivolous things! I cry almost every time i cant button my jeans :( In addition, he calls me sensitive a lot now! We got into a stupid argument on my bday and i cried like i was alone in the world but ever since, he calls me sensitive... He is one of those guys that are not real emotional, doesnt like to face feelings. He is very health conscious and works out a lot so looking and feeling good is easy for him. On the other hand, he is very passionate (when he wanna be) and holds me when i cry... i just dont know what to do or say to make him understand what i am going thru emotionally and not shame me for it.

Thank you ladies so much! I am really gonna try the writing my expressions out, maybe he will get something out of that... The point that I dont need to be reminded of my sensitivity but of his support is great!! im so using just that the next time he says that to mE!!posted 02/10/2011 by Laedi

My husband is the same way, not overly sensitive, doesn't talk about feelings, and he's a fitness trainer. My situation was slightly different because I was very small to begin with but it didn't stop him from "poking fun" about how fat i was when I couldn't do my pants up. Unfortunately it might be hard to get him to understand, because truth is they will never really understand what pregnancy is like. I felt very down and lazy several times throughout my pregnancy, where I didn't want to even get off the couch to eat, but I'm glad I took it easy (my daughter was born 9 weeks early despite how easy I took it). What I did was write a letter to my husband that expressed all my feelings about things and things that he could do to support me that would mean a lot. It worked well and even if it didn't stop our bickering sometimes, I know it was always in the back of his mind and he became incredibly helpful later onposted 02/10/2011 by leinantim
Hello its me again. Let me just reiterate to you, HE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE PREGNANT. Men are not sensitive creatures, unfortunately we are. And to be pregnant means to be ten times more so. Tell him yes i am sensitive, this is not easy, i expect your support. I dont need to be reminded how sensitive i am, i need to be reminded how much you support me. The stupid arguments will never stop unfortunately. Me and my husband just argued over dinner. Cling to other women who understand and are supportive. I am 5'4 148 lbs. My first pregnancy, 135ibs. It does not get any easier. you sound like you are in excellent shape. Remember in order to have a healthy baby YOU MUST GRADUALLY GAIN WEIGHT.posted 02/09/2011 by patricetorralba

TARDIS Tune Up
The TARDIS may have regenerated with a fancy new interior earlier this year, but something is still missing according to Matt Smith – a piano.
Yes, you heard that right. Smith has revealed he would like to see a piano added to the blue box.
"I always wanted a piano in the Tardis, but that's yet to materialise, sadly," he said. "I'm by no means a dab hand but I can tinker a little bit."
Well there's certainly enough room, so that's not a problem.
However, Smith thinks that some fans may not be so keen: "I guess once the Tardis lands, you want the adventure to get started – you don't want to see the Doctor playing the piano."
So fans, what do you think? Has Matt's performance with Orbital gone to his head, or is this actually a good idea?

BREAKING: VP Biden Threatens Executive Order on Civilian Disarmament
"Vice President Joe Biden indicated Wednesday that the president will be able to take executive action to combat gun violence as he kicked off one of several meetings this week in response to the Newtown shooting," politico.com reports. "'We're here today to deal with a problem that requires immediate action, urgent action,' Biden said at the start of a meeting with leaders from gun control groups and several victims of gun violence. 'The president is going to act. There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet, but we're compiling it all … as well as legislative action, we believe, is required.'" TTAGs legal eagle and political strategist Ralph reckons Joe's just saber-rattling. In fact, the remark could be seen as a positive sign; an acknowledgement that the Obama Administration knows it doesn't have the votes for civilian disarmament in Congress. That said . . . "Make no mistake," Ralph warns. "The gun grabbers are all in."163

That's amazing....thanks JD...I never even knew Googlebooks existed. What a great resource...thanks and repped.
Hello everyone,
I was working on a city map and came across this book on google that has been quite helpful. It's on the Archeaology of town in Europe from 1100-1600.ad
Hope this helps everyone out!
That's amazing....thanks JD...I never even knew Googlebooks existed. What a great resource...thanks and repped.
Holy moley, this is a brilliant resource...I've just found a book called 'Atlas on Medieval Europe' where the 'preview' is the whole book. ::Edit:: no it isn't, but it's a goodly wadge of pages::
And here's one on the Medieval Village....crumbs,virtually all 565 pages of it as far as I can see.
I feel like a child that has suddenly entered a very large toy shop.

I have to say I was pretty much the same way when I stumbled across it. It certainly made me quite happy! Even if it isn't the entire book, it certainly gives you a good amount to work from. And since it's free, that makes all the better. I'm thinking of looking something like this up in my universities library or other places around town. I am quite glad to see that I wasn't rehashing a website that someone had already posted Hope it works out for everyone here in the community! And thanks for the rep!

American Idol: Theme Change For This Week's Performances!
March 28, 2011 09:00 AM by Lisa Princ
FOX announced on Friday that the remaining 11 finalists on American Idol would be performing songs from the 1980′s this week, but now it is being reported that this week's theme has changed to songs by Elton John. What brought on this change? Keep reading for more details!
The final 11 contestants have gone from the 1980′s to Elton John tunes for this week's performances, just in time for the superstar's 64th birthday apparently. The show posted this on their official Twitter page late Friday "UPDATE: It's official, next week's theme is Elton John songs! And we wish the Rocket Man a very happy 64th birthday today!" and more recently posted "Anyone else brushing up on the Elton John catalog for this week's show like we are?" as of this morning, so it looks like it is an official change of themes this week.
While we don't have the official song list that the contestants will perform, we can assume it's pretty similar to what has been done in the past and hopefully we will get a visit from Elton John himself. Since Paul McDonald has already done Elton John, do you think he will have an advantage this week over the other finalists? What do you think of the change of theme? Would you have preferred the 1980′s instead? Comment below and share your thoughts with and then be sure to tune in on Wednesday to see the top 11 take the stage and tackle the Rocket Man!
Want more? Follow our tweets on Twitter and "like" us on Facebook! For other great American Idol news, please feel free to check out SirLinksALot: American Idol and then come and discuss the show on our American Idol message boards.

Elton John is great…would have much rathered heard a variety of 80s songs however.

I love Elton John's music also but it seems more fair to open it up to 1980′s variety. Males have an advantage over females when required to do a male vocalist.

Robert M. Sapolsky: A Primate's Memoir
A Primate's Memoir
IF CHIMPS AND gorillas are the upper crust of the primate world, then baboons are its hoi polloi. Far from endangered, and lacking the cuteness factor of their more sophisticated cousins, baboons rank low on the human evolutionary sympathy scale. And then there are those flaming-pink-callused asses that look so vulgar in the savanna sunlight.
Turns out there's more to baboons than sharp canines and inflamed bottoms. Robert M. Sapolsky, a biologist and neurologist at Stanford who has devoted more than 20 years of field observation to these primates, has found that baboons, much like humans, are experts at generating social stress for one another. In turn, they follow humans in succumbing to stress-related disease. Unlike humans however, they don't smoke, guzzle aqua vitae or eat pot roast, so they are in effect superior subjects when it comes to understanding pure, socially created stress disease.
A Primate's Memoir is Sapolsky's recollection of years of fieldwork with a single troupe of baboons in the Serengeti plains of southwestern Kenya. A lifelong primate enthusiast (by early high school, he was writing fan letters to primatologists and teaching himself Swahili) Sapolsky discovered his troupe when he was but 21 years old and has been returning to them until recently, growing more attached each year. So it is that Sapolsky's baboons, like Jane Goodall's chimps and Dian Fossey's mountain gorillas, have acquired human names. These are of the archaic, Old Testament variety--Obadiah, Uriah, Nebuchanezzar--and some other names you'd never wish upon your worst enemy's newborn. Their personalities, as observed by Sapolsky's sharp but playful eye, are fascinatingly distinct and at times invoke the chaos of the extended Mediterranean family's Sunday lunch: the tiresome power struggles between this and that cousin, the gawky and precocious teenagers knocking into things and pissing off the important uncle at the table, the strung-out and ignored mother of five back in the kitchen, her hands buried in pastry dough.
The baboon troupe and his interactions with it are central to Sapolsky's book, but A Primate's Memoir is rife with fiercely interesting tangents, involving, for the most part, his Masai neighbors. There's Samwelly, Sapolsky's indispensable camp guard who decided one day, out of boredom, to divert a whole river; the evil Pius at the watering hole, who forced Sapolsky to drink endless Coca-Colas; and a host of other six-foot-tall, rail-legged characters brandishing spears and slurping cows' blood. Sapolsky strikes an equally resonant chord with stories of his travels to neighboring East African countries, particularly Rwanda, where he treks for days through high-altitude mud slopes to catch a glimpse of the mountain gorilla, and perchance come to understand the murder of Dian Fossey, his childhood idol. He finally spots a small troupe headed by a silverback male, and evokes a truly mesmerizing moment. The account on offer in A Primate's Memoir--a delightful combination of biology, anthropology, adventure, and opinion--often guides the reader into such a realm of discovery.

How to read exFAT SD card in Puppy 571 the easy way
Subject description: A turnaround for the exFAT unrecognised in Precise Puppy
Using Precise puppy as my main private os, I'm freshly registered on the forum. I'm very grateful for the creators of puppylinux and all the contributors.
Precise puppy linux on my lenovo x200 cares for all I need as a computer (many thanks to all the contributors), except I cannot read SD Card when exFat formatted : only FAT32 is OK.
I don't have any knowledge with programming, and it took me some time to find a way to read the card.
I didn't find an easy tutorial on the puppy forum.
Finally, I managed to find a way. Very simple and evident... but not for me.
So I thought maybe I could write this tuto, in case others have the same needs I had.
First thing, you need to download and install fuse-exfat and exfat-utils
from the ubuntu 12 repositories :
fuse-exfat.deb for ubuntu 12 : http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fuse-exfat/exfat-fuse_1.0.1-1~ubuntu12.04.1_i386.deb
exfat-utils.deb for ubuntu 12 : http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/exfat-utils/exfat-utils_1.0.1-1~ubuntu12.04.1_i386.deb
Download the files. Then a left click on the file will open Puppy Package Manager.
After installing fuse-exfat and exfat-utils, if you insert a SD Card exFAT formatted... nothing happen. No drive icon on the desk.
To read the exFAT partition, you need to mount it
, but not with the same tools as with another formatting.
To be careful (not to mess with other partitions), I created a directory reserved to mount exFAT drive.
Create a directory : /media/exfat
Then you can mount the exFAT partition. My SD card reader is known by puppy as sdb (easy to determine : simply insert a FAT32 card in it).
in a console, type : "/sbin/mount.exfat /dev/sdb1 /media/exfat"
Then you can read and write on the SD card in /media/exfat.
3. Unmount the partition.
To unmount the partition, in a console, type :"umount /media/exfat"
Create desktop shortcuts
For an easier usage, I created some desktop shortcuts.
The directory.
Draw and drop /media/exfat on the desk. Change its name or its icon if you like.
A script to mount exFat partition.
In ~/my-applications/bin, create a new scipt (right click - new - script). Rename it "exfat-mount". Right click on it, then "open as text". On the line 2, write : /sbin/mount.exfat /dev/sdb1 /media/exfat. Save. Draw and drop this file on the desk.
A script to unmount exFat partition.
Create a new script in ~/my-applications/bin. Rename it : exfat-unmount. On line 2, write : umount /media/exfat. Draw and drop this file on the desk. Change the name and icons of the shortcuts as you like.
A left click on exfat-mount will mount the exfat partition. A left click on the directory shortcut will then access the SD card. A click on exfat-unmount shortcut will unmount the card.
All this is a little awkward. Certainly there is a better way. But it works.

does that affect its capacity? i remember reading the new sdxc sizes were a function of the format more than the hardware, but that was when they first hit the market. is it true? how's the performance of ntfs compared to exfat, f2fs, or ext2/3/4?

I don't know if reformatting to NTFS changed the capacity because I have no idea what the capacity was before I reformatted it. Puppy couldn't read it.

Yes, around 60 GB if I remember right. I've yet to see any kind of flash memory that is actually as big as the nameplate says, no matter what its filesystem.

The capacity will remain the same whatever the format.
Fat 12&16 have practical limits because of the index sizes, but other fs the limits are rather large.
You should be aware that any journalling file system will use up available write cycles a lot quicker.
exFAT is designed specifically to keep the write cycles as low as possible.
Most capacities given by media salesmen are lies as they refer to UNFORMATTED capacity and also use 1000 as a count rather than 1024.
I've seen disks advertised as 100MB and they turn out to be more like 68mb usable in real terms.

Robin Lehner heading to BUF. Sounds like Lehner and Legwand to BUF for 21st pick. Pending trade call. Not official yet.
Ottawa Sun "Dave Legwand knows all about getting a phone call on trade deadline day. A Nashville Predator for 15 seasons, he was moved to the Detroit Red Wings minutes before time was up for GMs last March. "You never know what can happen," the Senators centre said Saturday afternoon. Legwand had an..." March 01
David Legwand traded to Detroit Red Wings
Pro Hockey Talk "David Legwand doesn't carry the name recognition or flash that a trade target like Thomas Vanek does, but the Nashville Predators hope to score a quality asset for him anyway. At least, that's the word from TSN's Bob McKenzie. More specifically, McKenzie reports that the Predators are angling..." February 04
Tennessean "David Legwand is the original Predator. He was the franchise's first draft pick the second overall selection in 1998. He has seen the Predators go through all their phases. He's played 894 regular-season games with them but he might not reach 1000. Legwand is in a contract year and there..." September 18
Tennessean "For Predators veteran forward David Legwand, speed always has been his main attribute. It's a major reason why Nashville drafted him second overall in 1998. And Legwand's ability to use his wheels and drive back opponents has led to some of the better offensive play by a forward for the..." April 11
Tennessean "His face has scars and crow's feet. He talks about his two children, Ryder and Ella, with beaming fatherly pride.

The jury praised how "Man From Reno" examines "barriers of age, language and success, set against a noir plot line infuses a pop energy into the well observed portrayal of its unique characters."

Similarly, Debra Granik's "Stray Dog" -- her first film since the 2010 release of the Academy Award nominated drama "Winter's Bone" -- was called "a beautifully crafted observational portrait that addresses, with love, empathy and humor, some of the issues we struggle with as a country today, such as PTSD, immigration and poverty."
The LA Muse Award, also given out by the jury, was awarded to Damian John Harper's neo-realist drama "Los Angeles," about the complexities of the Zapotec community in Oaxaca.

"Over the past century, women have broken through barriers to achieve political, economic and social advances never before imagined. Yet, there are still many places where gender defines a person's ability to reach their full potential. The fact that more than a thousand people have gathered here in Washington to speak out on behalf of girls and women in poor communities is a testament to the compassion of the American people" – With these words, Dr. Helene Gayle opened CARE 2011 National conference, exhorting all in attendance and define our purpose for this important meeting. Over a thousand activists gathered in the international ballroom center of the Washington Hilton Hotel to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the International Women's Day and CARE's 65th anniversary. The energy was exciting, hopeful, and purposeful. These activists will celebrate CARE's many achievements and prepare to storm Capitol Hill on Thursday, March 10th, 2011 to advocate on three main issues – the importance of foreign aid, providing financial opportunities for women, and empowerment through education.
CARE is one of the largest private humanitarian organizations that has evolved to continue meeting the pressing needs of society. It was founded in 1945 when 22 American organizations came together to coordinate and rapidly provide relief packages to survivors of World War II. It has since evolved to become a leader in fighting global poverty by providing resources to women and using them as leverage to change communities globally. CARE unveiled its virtual CARE package initiative as its anniversary present. An individual or a group can build a personalized CARE box online that can be sent to women and girls anywhere in the world. "Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve education, health, and economic opportunity" (CARE.org). The CARE 2011 conference emphasized this focus of women and girls by providing tickets to a number of young girls 10-14yrs to attend this wonderful event. This is quite powerful, educating the future change makers by bringing them to experience solutions that have been proven to be effective globally in addressing social injustices against women.
When I arrived at the hotel, I eagerly descended a flight of stairs unto the international terrace. With each quickening step, I could hear voices filled with excitement and life. I encountered the most breath taking sound and sight – the timbre of people from different races and ethnicities flooding the terrace. After a quick scan, with a few nods and smiles of acknowledgement, I made my way to the media table and began the registration process. It was fairly typical with name bags and schedules, but I was really impressed when one of CARE's staff pronounced my last name correctly – Asonganyi! At that instant, it became clear that this was more than a national conference, I had entered a strong, powerful, and caring international community.
The kick-off session in the International Ballroom was invigorating and a wonderful energizer. It set the tone for the upcoming conference's jam-packed panel and advocacy training sessions. This opening night's atmosphere was relaxed, playful, yet focused. Some of the people I met included job seekers from Rwanda, free lance reporters with Christian organizations, recent college graduates, students on alternative spring break, activists with a passion for women's issues, and sub-contractors of CARE. Despite the technical difficulties and the energy of the room blowing out some speakers, the liveliness was infectious, enduring and unstoppable.
Performing artists and fellow activists featured Michael Franti, Crystal Bowersox (American Idol runner-up), Sarah Darling (representing Join my village initiative), and India Arie. These artists helped us remember that we have a commitment and an obligation to the world to fight for peace and social injustices. Our actions as activists are essential as humans. The night closed with these words sung by India Arie "This is my prayer for humanity that we respect our women and protect our girls". Day 1 closed leaving me radiating with optimism and hope that it only takes the power of one to change the future!
(Videos to come soon!!)

Success Stories for Nevada Businesses
Ion Beverage Company, a Las Vegas bottled water manufacturer, was completing its first shipment to China but lacked some required documentation in order to get its shipment released from Chinese customs. With assistance from the CS Las Vegas office and the CS China Business Information Center, Ion obtained the necessary paperwork, enabling $228,000 worth of its bottled beverage to reach its Chinese buyer.
Sable Systems International, a Las Vegas manufacturer of medical and research instruments, wanted to facilitate a deal with the Spanish Ministry of Science, but found the process hampered by communication and documentation issues. Sable reached out to CS Las Vegas and was joined by CS Madrid. Collaborative CS outreach got the Spanish Ministry of Science and Sable on the "same page," clarifying the requirements and procedures of the contract. As a result, Sable completed the $70,000 sale.

that the casino industry and the sports franchises are so indifferent to what the customer wants? This is a unique attitude, which runs contrary to what every other business is doing.
But that's a rhetorical question. We know the answer. (It's not one answer either.)

Winter storm to start back up at dawn in Oklahoma City
The first round of the winter storm passed central Oklahoma by sunset, but snow is expected to start falling about dawn, according to the National Weather Service.
"We do have some sleet and snow still occurring in Ponca City, Enid and northeast Oklahoma. We also have some flurries and sleet in the Hobart and Altus area, and it's dry in between," forecaster Christine Riley said tonight.
The southwestern part of the state is the hardest hit area, with an inch to an inch and a half of ice that's fallen, coating power lines and downing tree branches, she said.
"Any precipitation we have down in the southeast is all rain right now," Riley said.
Starting about 6 a.m. and continuing into the afternoon, forecasters expect snow — with some sleet mixed in — to fall in central and southern Oklahoma.
"We are thinking we will accumulate some snow, especially around the city, of about 2 inches," Riley said.
Some light precipitation is expected into Friday evening, but accumulation will cease during the day, she said.
Many schools across Oklahoma and state government offices were closed today and most flights were canceled at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City and Tulsa International Airport.
The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management opened the Emergency Operations Center at the Capitol to coordinate the state's response to the storm. Industrial-size generators and bottled water have been moved to staging sites in Oklahoma City and McAlester to be distributed where needed.

Light Setup: How was this done?

Light Setup: How was this done?
Looking at the shadows of her leg and of the chair, it seems that there were two lights used to eluminate her and one other light for the background.
Or is that really one light for the foreground, because the double shadow of the legs looks odd to me as I thought that with two lights only the shadow of the stronger light would show.
Also re the type of light: the soft-edge shadow makes me think that it is a large softbox.
Any thoughts on my opinion or do you have a better idea?

Sometime between Dec. 9 and Dec. 12, someone cut the padlocks on four of the storage units and took an assortment of personal property, including military gear and uniforms. Some of the missing military gear included a sleeping system with GoreTex lining, an extreme cold weather parka and trousers, a weapons cleaning kit, an individual field aid kit, Army uniforms and a green footlocker.
Other items taken included six large cooking roasters, GE or Oster brand, with owner-applied marking "TS" on the inside of the lid and bottom panels, as well as an assortment of Christmas decorations.
According to the investigating deputy's report, the surveillance cameras at the storage facility were not functioning and no images of the suspect or suspects were captured.

1969 Road Runner Project, Part VWritten by on May 1, 2000 Contributors: Ken Lazzeri Ignition Tuning and Firing It Up
When a performance aftermarket company such as Holley says they want to build a project Mopar, the assumption is that they want to showcase their product on that vehicle. The Holley Performance Product's 1969 Roadrunner is no exception. So when Holley's Matt Held sent Indy Cylinder Head's Ken Lazzeri the full Pro Strip Annihilator ignition system for the 542ci engine that will power the Roadrunner ("Torque Monster," Mopar Muscle, April 2000), Ken was up for the challenge. In the course of dyno testing the 542 Indy Cylinder Head Wedge engine, Ken got his first opportunity to use the ignition system. He notes, "Nowadays, everybody wants to program the ignition like EFI cars do, this is the hot setup. The tuner must program every phase of his timing curve. Everyone asks for it and here it is! This ignition has endless capabilities."
As an example, Ken says, "Obviously, the more radical an engine is, the more necessary tuning the ignition system becomes. Case-in-point, to get a race engine started and running, the Pro Strip Annihilator allows you to start the engine with some retard, and immediately after it fires, you can go to full advance." Additionally, the Pro Strip Annihilator allows for all of the tuning to be manipulated with an all-in-one hand programmer. In using the QuickShot Programmer, Ken was impressed. "During the dyno test, I couldn't believe the amount of combinations I could come up with." Because we simply did not have room in the engine story last issue to expound on the merits of the ignition system, we chose to display the ignition system now.
Here are the details:
Pro Strip Annihilator
According to Holley, "The Pro Strip Annihilator (PN 800-300) is the first racing ignition system to combine all the popular features drag racers want in one system plus have 135 millijoules of energy output at 525 volts. It is also compatible with any original equipment or aftermarket distributor including points, HEI, magnetic pick-up, and Hall effect pickup as well as any brand of magnetic or Hall effect crank trigger system." This microprocessor controlled system is extremely accurate and consistent because temperature and barometric pressure cannot affect it. The digital control module has a 14-light LED display for constant system function status and all settings are made with the QuickShot Programmer. The QuickShot Programmer has a large two-digit LED display, soft-touch keypad, and an extra long five-foot cord--adjustments can be made from the driver's seat even if you have racing gloves on and are strapped in tight.
The multiple spark function of the Pro Strip Annihilator restrikes the plug from idle to 3,000 rpm for 22-1/2-degrees of crankshaft rotation and the fully programmable timing computer allows you to program a 32-point timing curve from zero to 50-degrees (in 1-degree increments) from 500 rpm to 16,000 rpm (in 500 rpm increments). The maximum timing span is 34-degrees and timing is accurate +/-1/4-degree from idle to 16,000 rpm. Unlike other performance ignition systems, no plug-in actuators/switches are needed, and the Pro Strip Annihilator can be programmed with four random or sequential rev limiters. One is active all the time while the remaining three can be used for line lock, transbrake, delay box, or timer. Additionally, four RPM-activated switches are available for use with components requiring activation and deactivation at specific engine speeds. Adjustable from 0 to 16,000 rpm in 100 rpm increments. Other features including four timing retard inputs that are adjustable from 0 to 20 degrees in 1-degree increments. The timing retard feature works with all brands of nitrous solenoids and timers. Boost retard offers timing retard at a rate of 1 degree for every pound of boost pressure up to 15 psi. To use this feature, you must use Holley's MAP sensor (PN 870-300). The Pro Strip Annihilator system is prewired for the MAP sensor.
LaserShot Pro Ignition Coil
The LaserShot Pro Ignition Coil (PN 820-100) carries E.O. D-115-6 making it legal for installation on emission equipped vehicles in the State of California; however, it is also designed for a variety of high performance applications. It provides more power than other street coils, yet can be used on both racing vehicles and street cars. The double "E-core" design means it can stand up to the harsh environment that race cars see everyday. It has a sturdy male spark plug tower and a two-wire connector for a clean installation. The extruded aluminum housing has deep groove fins for excellent cooling and is finished in anodized black satin.
Annihilator LaserShot 50 Cable
These premium wires are available in 9mm and 8mm diameters and offer the lowest resistance core/cable available at 50 ohms per foot. Available specifically for Chrysler big- and small-block applications as PN 50-9807 and PN 50-9802, respectively, they are constructed with a Kevlar(R) inner core for superior flexibility and strength.

The center of our ignition system was a Mopar Performance Parts RB distributor. Ken Lazzeri notes, "On the Annihilator ignition, you line up the rotor on the leading edge of the number one terminal. This is the pick-up point." While Holley does not currently offer an RB Performance Billet Distributor, it is likely one with the mechanical advance locked out will be available soon.With EEPROM technology, which allows for repetitive customization of the internal software of the microprocessors that drive the ignition system, Holley has designed and marketed a system that can be customized to offer a wide range of features without adding additional switches, microprocessors, and sensors.Holley's 9mm Annihilator Laser Shot 50 ignition wires are available specifically for Chrysler big- and small-block applications as PN 50-9807 and PN 50-9802, respectively.These wires are the lowest resistance core/cable available with a specification of 50 OHMS per foot and are constructed with a Kevlar(R) inner core for superior flexibility and strength. Ken Lazzeri says these are very high-quality looking wires.Holley's QuickShot Programmer is controlled by the software program of the Pro Strip Annihilator ignition system. This plug-in device allows customization of the variables of the Pro Strip Annihilator ignition system--from RPM switches, number of cylinders, ignition retard, pick-up location--over 30 functions in all.

Alpha Natural Resources eliminating 230 jobs
Coal producer Alpha Natural Resources says it plans to eliminate about 230 positions throughout the company as it seeks to reduce costs.
The Bristol, Va.-based company said Thursday that it has developed a plan to further reduce operating and support expenses by at least $200 million in 2014 and beyond.
Alpha Natural Resources says most of the positions it is cutting are salaried. About 100 of those positions are already vacant and will not be filled.
Spokesman Steve Higginbottom says the reductions are part of its effort to better align the company's overhead and corporate support with its reduced operational footprint.
Alpha has mining operations in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Wyoming.

Posted on the Faculty Council website on January 19, 2012.
Proposed changes to Bachelor of Science, Computer Science Degree Program in the College of Natural Sciences Chapter in the Undergraduate Catalog, 2012-2014
B.S. Computer Science
• Is this a new degree program? No
• Does the program offer courses that will be taught off campus? No
• Will courses in this program be delivered electronically? No
- Increase required number of upper-division hours in residence from 18 to 21.
- Options I, II, and IV: SSC 329C, Practical Linear Algebra I, is added as an alternative to M 340L or 341.
- Options I, II, and IV: SSC 321 replaces one course chosen from an approved list of upper-division mathematics courses.
- Options I, II, and IV: remove BIO 205L.
- Options I, II, and IV: change organic sequences to approved upper-division course numbers.
- Option I: change requirement from 8 to 7 in 7e.
- Options I, II, and IV: remove EE 316.
- Options I, II, and IV: remove total number of hours required from the department; the total is the sum of the required courses.
- Options I and IV: a two-semester sequence, CS 312 (or 312H) and CS 314 (or 314H), will replace the previous three-semester course sequence of CS305J (alternative prerequisite for 307), CS307, and CS315 (or 315H).
- Options I-IV: a two-semester sequence, CS 429 (or 429H) and 439 (or 439H), will replace the previous three-course sequence of CS 310 (or 310H), CS 352 (or 352H), and CS 372 (or 372H).
- Options I, II: CS 357 or 357H are added as an alternative to CS 341 or 341H; Option IV: CS 357H is added as an alternative to C S 357.
- Options II and III: CS 314 (or 314H) will replace CS 315 (or 315H).
- Option III: remove NSC 301C and replace with UGS 302 or 303
- Option IV: CS 357 or 357H are added as an alternative to CS 353.
- Option V: option added in teaching (senior grades).
- Reduce amount of additional hours approved by departmental honors adviser.
Indicate pages in the Undergraduate Catalog where changes will be made.
Pages 542-545
- The change is intended to strengthen the overall degree.
- Change is in line with Bachelor of Arts degree.SSC 329C emphasizes topics in linear algebra that are useful to computer scientists.
- The mathematics background required for the practice of computer science has been expanding in the direction of probability and statistics. Our experience is that past undergraduates had poor guidance in selecting mathematics electives and frequently selected courses that were poor matches for the mathematical skills required in computer science. Replacing an elective math class with the required class SSC 321 will enhance students' mathematical skills in areas of critical importance for the degree program. Students are still free to take upper-division math courses using their elective hours.
- The School of Biological Sciences is dropping BIO 205L from the course inventory.
- Changing of organic sequences to upper-division. Majority of the students enrolled each semester are upper classmen.
- In previous catalog, requirements shifted, but requirement number in #7e was not updated.
- EE 316 was required when it was a prerequisite to CS 352 and 352H. These courses are being removed from the degree requirements. Therefore, EE 316 is no longer necessary.
- Some degree requirements are worded to require a minimum number of hours that consists of the total sum of the required courses. If a student selects a course when given a choice that results in the required courses being fulfilled, but brings the student up short of the total number of hours, the department files a petition to reduce the minimum hour requirement accordingly.
- We propose to adjust the first two courses we offer in computer science in the area of computer programming. The reason for this change is that most students entering the University lack experience with computer programming. The proposed two-course sequence will assume the students have no programming experience, and the courses will give them proficiency in modern programming languages and techniques. Moreover, the proposed courses will eliminate some redundancy across our previous two courses, CS305J and CS307.
- Reducing the number of globally required courses in systems will allow students to focus on taking electives in one or more chosen areas, while still covering the necessary material.
- CS 357 and 357H added as alternatives to CS 341.
- Admission to options II and III require previous background in computer science analogous to CS 312 or 312H.
- NSC 301C is no longer offered as the Dean's Scholars seminar course. The Dean's Scholars seminar course is now being replaced by a section of UGS 303 approved by the departmental honors adviser.
- CS 357 and 357H added as alternatives to CS 353.
- The introduction of Option V: Teaching (senior grades) aligns the computer science degree plans with other UTeach certification areas as outlined in the UTeach Elements of Success. Previously, computer science certification was obtainable only through the undersubscribed Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (Option II: Mathematics and Computer Science Certification). We propose to replace this plan with the BSCS Option V, allowing students to pursue either computer science certification or both mathematics and computer science certifications while earning a BSCS.
- The number of additional hours approved by departmental honors adviser is changed to more accurately reflect the number of hours in needed to achieve 120 total (in addition to the specific requirements).
Does this proposal impact other colleges/schools? If yes, then how?
If yes, impacted schools must be contacted and their response(s) included:
6. The elimination of EE 316 from the curriculum will minimally affect the College of Engineering as this course is already well-subscribed through the more substantial enrollment of engineering majors.
Person communicated with: Anthony Ambler
Date of communication: January 18, 2010
Response: Approved
Person communicated with: Larry Abraham
Date of communication: May 31, 2011

Former San Francisco Chef Turned Filmmaker Examines the Post-9/11 World in 'The Oath'
Laura Poitras is no stranger to conflict. After making her directorial debut in 2003 with Flag Wars, a provocative examination of tensions stirred by urban gentrification in Columbus, Ohio, Poitras traveled to Iraq for her 2006 follow-up, the Oscar-nominated documentary My Country, My Country, in which she monitored America's occupation during a six-month period leading to the 2005 national election.
Former bin Laden Bodyguard Recalls al-Qaeda Radicalism in 'The Oath'
"I told him America can't fight without planes, girlfriends, pizza and macaroni. But our jihadis can live on stale bread." So says Abu Jandal, Osama bin Laden's former bodyguard, who argues with a prospective jihadi that the murder of American innocents on 9/11 was justified, a simple strategic strike that represented a great symbolic victory. "Tarzan wanted to enter the region," he says, meaning the Middle East. "Now he must pay the price."

Pelvic floor injury is not a given in childbirth. You can stack the odds in your favour of emerging from childbirth whole, healthy and intact.
Perineal trauma in birth has become so common place that women almost expect that they will need some 'help' in this last very important part of birth. Hollywood has us convinced that all that purple faced pushing is normal. The 2nd stage of labor becomes a frantic race to get the baby out as quickly as possible – suggesting to women that their own body has suddenly become an enemy to your baby. However your body has grown your baby from 2 cells to a perfect baby...knowing exactly where each fingernail should be placed....where your baby's tiny ears should be placed....down the the perfect number of hair follicles on your baby's head...with no conscious input from you.....no 'fetus growing' classes...just the intelligence and wisdom of your body. Your body knows how to finish the process and birth your baby.
Most of the women I work with who have had serious ongoing complications of incontinence have had traumatic births - in many cases it involves an assisted delivery with forceps or vacuum. As perineal injury becomes 'normalised' we are losing sight of how physically and psychologically debilitating a damaged pelvic floor can be in day to day life and in a woman's relationships with her partner. In many maternity hospitals the mother simply receives a referral to a physiotherapist to help her with the physical recovery but the emotional recovery and mental health issues (including depression) are not seen as being equally important.
Day to day living can be a nightmare for these women especially if they are experiencing faecal as well as urinary incontinence. These professional, healthy, young women have no control over their bowels and end up prisoners of their own homes and nobody is talking about it.
Sadly some women feel it was partly their fault because they couldn't 'push' properly or were too uptight and couldn't 'let go'. So let me start off by stating that your body works – infact your body ROCKS!. Your body knew exactly what to do. You weren't too 'uptight' or had issues with letting go. Your body did not fail you - our maternity practices most certainly did. Even the most skilled yoga mums and the most laid back relaxed hypnomums are faced with the most harmful intervention in current obstetrics - not the forceps - but the clock. What most mothers don't realise is that they are on a time limit from the moment they are 'diagnosed' to be in labour until the placenta is delivered - the clock is ticking. There is no evidence to support these arbitrary time limits - is it a case of profits before perineums?
Here's a typical scenario that plays out in our hospitals every day.
Mom is managing well - baby is healthy and coping well with labour. Mom has 2 hourly VE (vaginal exams) to ensure she is dilating with the hospitals guideline of 1cm per hour (there is no evidence to support 2 hour VEs)
Around 7cm (sometimes even at 10cm) Moms labour slows down as her body rests as her baby rotates into the optimal position Mom is deemed to have inefficient uterine action and is prescribed the pitocin drip and her are waters broken (there is no evidence to support this).
Mom is now on continuous monitoring due to the administration of Pitocin. Mom is finding it more difficult to cope with the chemically driven contractions that give her and her baby little or no rest between. Baby finds it harder to recover from the intense, longer chemically driven contractions and is now showing late decels on the CTG. Mom is now 10cm and baby is showing signs of distress due to the action of the synthetic hormones. Additional staff enter the room and Mom is instructed to lie on her back (if she isn't already) and pull her knees up to her chest as 2 Midwives shout at her to hold her breath and push into her bum (whether she has any urge to push or not). Sometimes a Midwife will tell a Mother to 'get angry with her baby'. Prolonged breath holding further restricts oxygen to her baby which again shows baby in distress and a decision is made for an assisted (instrumental) delivery. An episiotomy is performed and vacuum applied - vacuum fails and forceps applied. Baby is born limp and has low APGARS due to hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Mum is in a state of shock but thankful that her baby was 'saved' Mom's notes read - 'FTP' - failure to progress and reluctantly accepts that this was her fault.
Nobody told this Mother that holding her breath for long periods of time was putting her baby at risk. Nobody told her that 'purple pushing' could damage not only her baby, but her bladder, her pelivc floor and perineum. In fact the antenatal classes encouraged it and other women told her to 'listen to your Midwife - she'll show you how to push'.
Current evidence and international best practice would suggest that this was a case of 'failure to wait' rather than failure to progress. In my experience there are several factors that increase the risk of perineal/pelvic floor damage.
1 - Arbitrary time limits (time limits mean more assisted deliveries)
2 - Coached pushing
3 - Overuse of episiotomies.
4 - Overuse of epidurals and underuse of hydrotherapy (water immersion is associated with lower perineal damage)
There are a number of studies comparing coached vs spontaneous pushing In 2003 the WHO recommended removing coached pushing from practice. Research from 1957 describes the damage to the muscles of the vagina and support ligaments after coached pushing so the new research is reaffirming what we already knew to be the case - that 'purple pushing' is harmful for women and their babies and the more Mums can educate themselves about Irish maternity practices the better. I often hear Mums say not to focus on the birth as it's 'just one day'.....but that's not the case for those women who are living with incontinence for the rest of their lives. Information is power.
My recommendations are the same to all women whether they have have had previous trauma to the pelvic floor or are first time Mums. It's so important that women understand how the 2nd stage actually works.
That it's a reflex...when your baby's head triggers Fergusons reflex your body automatically starts to nudge your baby down. The top of the uterus gets thicker and thicker and moves down around your baby - like a tube of toothpaste. When you think of how our body works when we feel sick and vomit. Your body throws up....so in labour it's like your body is throwing 'down'. You'd never say oh I had a dodgy hamburger last night and was pushing up vomit all night....you'd say you were throwing up....it's the same with the 2nd stage....your body does all the work for you.
It's an irresistible urge that you can't ignore. Think of how the bowel works - pushing when you don't have the urge to push is like me instructing you now to go and have a bowel movement immediately when you don't feel the need to go! Think of a time when you really really needed to go....did you need someone to coach you? Did you need to do anything else other than sit down and relax? Whether you sit on the toilet and push for America or bring a book (men are great at this) the poop still comes out!!! When you think of it how did humans get born for the thousands of years before Midwives and Doctors came on the scene? Who is coaching the cows and sheep in the fields or the women who have accidental homebirths or give birth in the car?
Practice perineal massage in the 3rd trimester
Write your birth preferences down and discuss antenatally e.g. "I prefer not to have coached pushing but will push with my own urges"
Have your birth partner advocate for you in labour if a staff member starts instructing Mom to hold her breath.
Ask for more time if you and baby are well.
Choose an upright birth position especially if you don't have an epidural. If you have an epidural you can still be moved into a position to work with gravity.
Focus on slow comfortable breathing - let your body do the work.
If you have an epidural request additional time for 'passive descent' especially if you and baby are well.
Labor in water if possible.
Consider a homebirth or giving birth with a Community Midwives scheme (in 2008 a Swedish study showed a lower frequency of perineal injury associated with homebirths between 1992 & 2004). The risk of perineal/pelvic floor damage was 5 times higher in hospital. Or if possible choose a maternity unit with a low rate of episiotomies and assisted deliveries to stack the odds in your favour.
Midwife Penny Armstrong describes her experience of episiotomy.
"One becomes accustomed to routines - including cutting of the flesh - and can get in the habit of not questioning their necessity. But if you are not accustomed to it, it is shocking to see vibrant muscle cut. I think of muscles as being strung out on our bones like strings on a cello - vibrating with potential, as if for an extended concert. I dream about a baseball player with his shirt off and the graceful cresting of power tha curves up from teh small of his back, across his shoulders and down his arms. to interrupt that progression of movement is an esthetic crime, and I feel sure we wouldn't do it if it were avoidable. If a professional athlete was on a table in the operating room and if there was no other remedy but surgery, the prospect of cutting his muscles would still be sobering...seeing him prepped and draped, we would know that everything possible had been done....physical therapy, massages, slings...Only then would they resort to the knife. Maybe we don't think of these women's muscles with the same regard because of where they are located. We don't see them crossing and gliding as they make our hips swing; we don't watch them spreading into broad ribbony bands when we squat down. Because we can't see them, maybe we think of them as a static crude vessel fit only for containing entrails, bowels and other oozy organs. Maybe that's what makes them easier to cut... But I have seen the muscles in women. In the delivery room, when the cut was made across three or four major muscle groups, and I've seen them retreat and lie there, shrunk back into themselves, and I felt the same way I would if the athlete's muscles had been cut. The same way I feel when a cellist's string snaps during a concert. The music of the body, the resonance and the potential for rapture are interrupted"

Hand-Colored Candles
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: Baby
In: Holidays , Arts & Crafts
Instructions:Not only will these hand-painted candles lend a festive glow to a teacher's or grandparent's holiday decor, they'll also spark your child's imagination to come up with unique decorative patterns.
Dull pencil
Permanent marker
Pillar candles
Watercolor brush
Acrylic paints
Cotton swabs
Rubbing alcohol
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Use the point of the dull pencil to etch designs into the wax (for younger kids, it may be helpful to draw the designs in marker first). Don't press too hard, or you may accidentally veer off course. Instead, go over the lines once or twice to create a shallow groove that will catch paint.
2. Brush paint into the grooves. Dilute the paint as you work by occasionally dipping the paintbrush in water.
3. Let the paint set for about 5 minutes, then clean away the excess from around the designs with cotton swabs, being careful not to wipe any out of the grooves. To remove any spots of paint that don't wipe away easily, try using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol (a parent's job).
