said General Ehsan Ul-Haq, Former Director of Pakistan's Inter-services Intelligence. He spoke to Senior Editor Tom Hundley as part of Tom's Pulitzer Center project on India and Pakistan's nuclear arms race. (Watch a video compilation of some of Tom's interviews here and continue reading for a synopsis.) India thinks Pakistan uses its nuclear capability as a shield to hide behind while allowing proxy extremist attacks on India. Both the US and India are concerned about what would happen to the nuclear weapons if Pakistan should fail as a state, but nuclear disarmament looks like a far-off prospect. Rajah Mohan of the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi voices his concern by asking a question which he says no one has been able to answer for the last 20 years: "How does India change Pakistan army's strategic calculus?" — Source: Senior Editor Tom Hundley's video within his larger project on India and Pakistan's nuclear arms race.

IRIN: Growing risks for aid workers in Pakistan
"NGO security threats are at an all-time high. I have never in almost 20 years known things as bad as this," Chris Cork, country security adviser for the UK-headquartered Abaseen Foundation, an NGO working chiefly in Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Province, told the United Nations' news agency, IRIN.
IRIN reports that over the past few weeks there "has been an upsurge in attacks on aid workers, many of them linked to a national polio eradication campaign in one of the world's last three countries where the disease remains endemic." This is thought to, at least partially, be fallout from the U.S. effort to kill Osama Bin Laden. IRIN goes on to state:
"In 2011 Shakil Afridi, a government-employed doctor, collected DNA samples from a residential house in Abbotabad which helped the US Central Intelligence Agency identify the whereabouts of Bin Laden, who was killed in a US raid. It is alleged that Afridi, since sentenced to 33 years in jail, masqueraded in his native Khyber Agency as a polio vaccinator in order to collect the samples.
Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for militant group Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, told IRIN: 'Afridi was a traitor and naturally people now suspect all anti-polio workers of being US agents.'"
A Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating girls' education has been discharged from a British hospital after doctors said she was well enough to spend time recovering with her family.
Fifteen-year-old Malala Yousufzai, who was shot by the Taliban in October and brought to Britain for treatment, was discharged on Thursday but is due to be re-admitted in late January or early February for reconstructive surgery to her skull, doctors said.
The shooting of Yousufzai, in the head at point blank range as she left school in the Swat valley, drew widespread international condemnation.
She has become a an internationally recognized symbol of resistance to the Taliban's efforts to deny women education and other rights, and more than 250,000 people have signed online petitions calling for her to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her activism.

Agence France-Presse reports that "more than 300 Pakistani children died of measles last year, a staggering increase on the previous 12 months and a result of three consecutive years of flooding."
KARACHI, Pakistan — Three more health-care workers were killed Wednesday in renewed attacks against those trying to immunize Pakistani children against polio, bringing the total killed this week to nine.
The attacks Wednesday occurred near Peshawar, killing a female health worker and her driver as well as a third worker in a separate incident, Al Jazeera reported. The World Health Organizaiton and the United Nations have both suspended their campaigns in the country because of the violence.

The Places Where America's Drones Are Striking, Now on Instagram
Technology has countervailing effects. We can send a battle by air to a land we have never set foot in, laying previously unimaginable distance between us and our wars. But at the same time we can see on a device in our pocket a satellite picture of these places so remote. Maybe, Bridle writes, the instant connectivity of our world can be a platform not just for faster information, but for deeper empathy for people who live a world away.

Pakistani surgeons remove bullet from 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai, but Taliban threaten to 'finish this chapter'
Pakistani surgeons removed a bullet on Wednesday from a 14-year-old girl shot by the Taliban for speaking out against the militants and promoting education for girls, doctors said.
Malala Yousafzai was in critical condition after gunmen shot her in the head and neck on Tuesday as she left school. Two other girls were also wounded.
Yousafzai began writing a blog when she was just 11 under the pseudonym Gul Makai for the BBC about life under the Taliban, and began speaking out publicly in 2009 about the need for girls' education — which the Taliban strongly opposes. The extremist movement was quick to claim responsibility for shooting her.
"This was a new chapter of obscenity, and we have to finish this chapter," Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan by telephone. (Reuters)

There are no magic Spanx that will turn you into Cindy Crawford. There is no magic begoggled top hat that will transport you out of the "friend zone," and there is no magic vision board that will manifest a sarcastic talking Lamborghini (that really gets you!) in your driveway while you sleep. It's just not real. Nothing is easy and nothing is free. But...what if it was? Not magic, precisely, but a workaround—a shortcut from one side of one of life's seemingly insurmountable challenges to the other. What if you could take a pill and fix your broken relationship?

Working Together for School Success
Homework Corner: Pick a place for homework. It doesn't have to be fancy. A desk in the bedroom is nice, but for many children, the kitchen table or corner of the living room works just fine. The area should have good lighting and be fairly quiet. Maybe a special decoration would make the space more appealing. A plant, a brightly colored pencil holder or some favorite artwork on the wall can make homework much more pleasant.

2013 America's Cup
Sail-World.com : U.S Sailors claim four Silver, two Bronze medals at Pan American Games
U.S Sailors claim four Silver, two Bronze medals at Pan American Games
US Sailing AlphaGraphics
Team USA's sailors wrapped up the Pan American Games regatta by grabbing six total medals — four silver and two bronze — in the nine classes contested. The event was held at the Vallarta Yacht Cluband concluded on Sunday.
The U.S. earned silver in the J/24, Lightning, Snipe and Sunfish classes. Bronze went to the Americans in the Laser Radial and women's Windsurfing classes. Each class raced just once today with double points on the line to decide the medalists. 'We had four medals secured yesterday and we were able to close out two more medals today for six total. That makes us really happy,' said U.S. Sailing team leader Dave Johnson. 'A lot of these athletes don't get to necessarily compete at the Olympic level, but the overall level of world-class sailing was definitely shown here by the Americans. Our sailors were able to perform, and it's pretty exciting to see that.'
Among the U.S. silver medalists was the Lightning team of skipper Jody Lutz (Brick, N.J.) and crew Jay Lutz (Houston, Texas) and Derek Gauger (Ann Arbor, Mich.) The Lightning was fifth in today's medal race to finish six points back of gold medalist Chile. While he was disappointed to not bring home the gold, Jody Lutz enjoyed his Pan Am Games experience. 'It was such an opportunity to represent the U.S. It was something that us 'old guys' don't get a chance to do very often. The class that we sail, the Lightning, is not in the Olympics, so this is our Olympics,' he said. 'To have the support of the U.S. and all the staff that's involved here was tremendous. I'm disappointed that we weren't able to bring the gold home to everybody but I'm proud that we did it right and we acted properly and competed fairly. We did the best darn job that we could.'
In addition to the Lightning team, the following U.S. sailors also earned silver medals: • J/24: John Mollicone (Newport, R.I.), Geoffrey Becker (Arnold, Md.), Daniel Rabin (Charlestown, Mass.), Paul Abdullah (Jacksonville, Fla.)• Snipe: Augie Diaz (Miami, Fla.), Kathleen Tocke (Miami, Fla.)• Sunfish: Paul Foerester (Heath, Texas) Bronze medals went to: • Laser Radial: Paige Railey (Clearwater, Fla.) • RS:X Women (Windsurfer Women): Farrah Hall (Annapolis, Md.)
Visit guadalajara2011.org.mx for complete results. (
Joining the team in Puerto Vallarta: Head Coach Leandro Spina (Miami, Fla.), Team Coach Greg Wilkinson (Rockport, Mass.), and Team Physical Therapist/Athletic Trainer, Dr. Scott Weiss (New York, N.Y.).
The 16 athletes qualified for the US SAILING 2011 Pan American Games Team after winning a select regatta previously determined as a qualifying event for each class. US SAILING's Olympic Sailing Committee then submitted its team to the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) for inclusion on the 2011 U.S. Pan American Games Team. Athletes must be U.S. citizens to qualify for the team, members of US SAILING and the classes in which they compete. Since sailing was included in the Pan American Games in 1955, USA has won 72 medals in sailing: 33 gold, 29 silver and 18 bronze.For more information on the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, visit the event website:

NASCAR Horsepower Rankings
And then there were two
By: Matt Taliaferro | 11/9/11, 5:04 PM EST
The "No Limits" Girls received entitrely too little coverage last weekend. (ASP, Inc.)
by Matt Taliaferro
1. Tony Stewart Momentum has clearly swung in Smoke's favor. He's always been a streaky driver, and now that he's "on" it may be hard for Carl Edwards to hold him off.
2. Carl Edwards Averaging a 5.6-place finish in the Chase, but Stewart is blowing Cousin Carl's doors off in the wins department. Still, NASCAR's points format rewards consistency over winning, so is it advantage: Carl?
3. Matt Kenseth Talladega and Martinsville were considered the tracks that could derail Carl Edwards' championship hopes. Turns out, they bit Matt.
4. Kevin Harvick It looked as if Harvick was going to pull another miraculous "Where'd he come from?" finish at Texas. However, a two-tire pit call dropped him to 13th, effectively ending his championship hopes.
5. Jimmie Johnson Johnson's four finishes outside of the top 10 in this season's Chase are more than in the last three Chases combined. That's amazing.
6. Kasey Kahne Kahne has only one finish outside the top 15 in the last eight races. Credit the lame-duck driver and the Red Bull Racing team (who may lose their jobs at season's end) for not throwing in the towel.
7. Brad Keselowski Since Keselowski and the No. 2 turned things around at Indy, they've recorded 11 top-12 runs in 15 races, winning twice. Unfortunately, Cinderella's slipper isn't going to fit.
8. Jeff Gordon Returns to the track where he won in February. Unfortunately for Gordon, the track has been repaved, reconfigured and has only one good racing groove. He better qualify well.
9. Deny Hamlin Was looking for a fourth consecutive top-10 run, which would have been his best string of finishes this year. Brad Keselowski saw to that, though.
10. Clint Bowyer Would be seventh in the standings had he made the Chase. Woulda, shoulda, coulda, right? It will be interesting to see if he can elevate Michael Waltrip Racing to the next level in 2012.
"You wanna piece of me?!" (ASP, Inc.)
11. Greg Biffle Five straight top-15 showings for Biffle and the boys. Finishing strong matters.
12. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Consecutive seventh-place finishes, the best we've seen in a few months out of this bunch.
13. Kurt Busch Parked brother Kyle got more camera time than 30th-place Kurt at Texas.
14. Martin Truex Jr. Bowyer's teammate-to-be has three stright top 10s. Again, finishing strong matters.
15. Kyle Busch There comes a turning point in every driver's career. Maybe this was Kyle's.
Just off the lead pack: AJ Allmendinger, Marcos Ambrose, Jeff Burton, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman

This is the home to the exclusive (OOC) thread of The Farmer: An Unavoidable Quest
John is an honest and hard working farmer since he was young. He was raised a farmer by a farmer who was also raised the same way, generations of farmers lay in his families history... but he often found himself wanting something else in life. He found each day rather boring, no matter how hard he tried and the day he first held a weapon was one that changed him forever. He didn't know it then, but that day would lead to the beginning of a long journey that may very well claim his life. He was protecting a woman from a mugger, little did he know that this woman was The Sorceress. One of few powerful magi still left in the land and she was far from help less... she zapped the thug and revealed her true self. Shaken, John would try to return to normal life but fantasies of battles rushed through him and he secretly wanted more. The Sorceress would return and offer John the perfect opportunity to start, but John denied the offer as well as his feelings for adventure. It was the second offer that had him out the door... the offer in which he was kidnapped by the mugger, his gang, and the sorceress not far behind.
A name and a possible image would be splendid, I don't get too fancy.
John of Oapfield
It is very late... I cannot sleep... Counting the zombies... They ate the sheep...

In 1850 at the age of 20, Thomas Hardy came to South Australia from England and established a winery on the banks of Adelaide's River Torrens in 1853 which went on to become an outstanding family wine business. He was a pioneer of immense character.
Graham Buller
Fruit for this wine was sourced from from quality vineyards around South Eastern Australia where riper fruit parcels were specifically selected to achieve a style rich in body and flavour.

If you like a fruity full bodied wine that can be drunk with or without food this is the one for you. It's a nice soft wine with no after bite the blend of the three grapes enhances the flavour we have never had a poor bottle and we have been drinking this wine now since we discovered it in Tesco some years ago, well done Tesco this is our favourite red.

Considering the year and the bargain price, this can only be regarded as excellent. I've been enjoying it's year on year reliability which is some credit to their blending skills. Dark, reasonably complex and a mouthful of after tastes. Keep it coming.

I have consumed this wine for years and whilst I don't pretend that it's a "Fine Wine" the quality remains remarkably consistent. As a wine that can be consumed on a weekly basis, and at a price (when on offer) that is well below it's quality value, I shall continue to fill my wine rack regularly.

This is an excellent wine, I think quite full-bodied and by far my favourite. It is a great buy when reduced. I do keep an eye out for it at half price and would always buy it then. Full price is a little too much! So come on Tesco - keep it a regular on the half price list. Your customers will love you. Every little helps!

It is wonderful way to obtain our favourite wine, the prices are attractive (same as the store), but it is delivered to the door, which of course prevents the difficulty of "humping" it to and from the car. At times the delivery is free which makes the experience even more pleasing. Well done Tesco.

I personally find this particular full body red delightful to drink. The three grape combination works a treat. I would always buy either a shiraz or merlot, never a cabernet on its own. I will say that I only buy this wine when it is on offer at under £5 per bottle and although I like it I would not pay full price of £10.99. It would be nice to see more pubs/restaurants selling this type of wine, I find most reds sold in pubs these days taste like red wine vinegar! I would reccommend this wine.

By Geomac
25 February 2013
This is full bodied red wine which is easy on the palate and consistently of good quality. At it's "full price" of £11/bottle it's perhaps a bit expensive but at the occasionally discounted price of around £5.50, it's good value and well worth putting a few bottles aside. This is certainly my red wine of choice at £5.50/bottle

This is probably our favourite red wine. Full bodied, smooth, rich flavour and consistent year by year. Well worth the standard price of £10 / £11 a bottle. When on offer for as little as £4 a bottle its an absolute steal !!

Male, aged 45-54
This is a great everyday wine when bought for no more than £5.50. At this price its easy going smooth flavour and clean bouquet knock spots off everything else in that price bracket. At its full price there are many others to choose from of equal or better quality. In short this is probably a £7- £8 bottle of wine that you can regularly pick up for £5 and at that price it's well worth stocking up on. Friends now affectionately refer to Hardy's Crest as our House Wine.

As said in another review, I only buy this when on offer at £5.50 being the most expensive. Today it is 62% off and works out at £4.11 a bottle, I have even bought it at £3.79? Anyway a huge discount. The wine is worth the over £10 price, even if I never pay it, as it is so smooth and delicious. Too easy to drink sometimes. I would recommend this to any serious wine drinker!!

Our favourite everyday red for over a decade. It's full of fruity flavour with a delicious aftertaste, ideal with steak or roasts and highly drinkable by itself on the sofa - each mouthful is a little moment of pure pleasure! At £5.49 it's well worth 5 stars and my 4-star rating is only because £10.99 would push me towards other good wines in the £5-6 bracket. Happily it's often discounted. Go on - try it!

PROGRAMS WITHIN THE PROGRAM: Participant: This is open to all grades, all experience levels, everyone! A participant in the weekend takes part in small group, mini workshops, the team course, open mic, etc. If you've never been on snowball before, or want to go again to participate, but not strictly lead signing up as a participant is the right fit for you!
PLP (Participant Leadership Program): The PLP group is for interested sophomores or juniors (typically) who have been a snowball participant at least once before but are interested in more of a leadership role over the weekend. PLP members meet with their adult staff at one Saturday training before the snowball weekend as well as one-two staff meetings after school before the weekend. They then meet with their PLP small group over the weekend and take on more leadership roles throughout our snowball weekend. If you have been on snowball before as a participant, are not old enough or ready to be staff yet but have interest in taking more of a leadership role—the PLP program is for you!
Avalanche: This is a new program this year for juniors and seniors ONLY. You must have participated in at least one snowball weekend before attending Avalanche.However, if you are a junior or senior who has not attended snowball before you can go to the December 2012 snowball as a participant and then go to the March 2013 snowball as an Avalanche member. Avalanche members leave period 7 for camp, arriving early and having their first small group before everyone else arrives to camp. They will use the foundational skills that they learned as a participant to jump into a journey that focuses more on transitioning to a new part of their life (college/beyond high school) and also exploring who they are as an individual, what their unique strengths are, and how they will build the puzzle of their many roles in their lives.
Teen Staff: Teen staff members are leaders on the weekend along with adult staff. They receive 9-10 weeks of training before the weekend, once a week after school focusing on group dynamics, leadership qualities, and how to facilitate a variety of group situations and structures. You must be a junior or senior to be teen staff, and must apply the year before. Staff applications typically come out a month or two after the March snowball weekend. To apply for staff, you must have participated in at least one previous snowball weekend. This year, teen staff may attend one weekend as staff and one weekend as avalanche.
Teen Directors: The teen directors take a large part in planning many of the programs and activities throughout the weekend as well as mentoring teen staff and facilitating communication between snowball staff, participants, adults and sponsors. This is a large time commitment, leadership responsibility and collaborative project. Teen Directors have to apply the year before, the same time as staff applications, and must fill out an additional application to their staff one.
If you have ANY questions about the various roles, how to apply for them, or if you are eligible for them—please email Contact the Sponsors

Gooch Family Sues After Mother, 34, Killed by Deputies
The parents of Holli Gooch, who was accused of wielding a hammer before two Bartow County Sheriff's Office deputies shot and killed her in her Cartersville home, are asking a jury to determine damages.
Two years after Holli Gooch was shot and killed by police in her Cartersville home after allegedly wielded a hammer, her family has filed a federal lawsuit asking a jury to determine damages at trial.
Gooch was shot when a group of Bartow County Sheriff's Office deputies and a Cartersville Police Department officer entered her home in an attempt to arrest armed robbery suspect Jeremy Starr Prather.
The lawsuit, filed by Gooch's parents on behalf of her estate and two children, ages 2 and 10, claims police entered the home in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
Police, who said Prather had been seen at Gooch's house at 3 Lee St. earlier on Dec. 16, 2010, arrived about 6:30 p.m. and asked Gooch if they could come in, according to the action filed Nov. 6 in U.S. District Court in Rome. Gooch's parents say she locked her door, denying the police entry into her home because they did not have a warrant.
However, one of the deputies kicked in Gooch's door and police "rushed into her home with guns drawn—including an AR-15 machine gun...," according to the lawsuit.
"When she saw the officers break down her door and charge into her house with
guns drawn, Holli panicked and ran into the kitchen, where she was shot several times and killed by [two deputies] after she allegedly picked up a hammer and wielded it as a weapon," the suit continues.
Sheriff Clark Millsap after the shooting told The Daily Tribune News that Prather had ran out the back door, and Gooch began attacking a deputy with the hammer, injured an officer's hand and refused to stop her attack.
"They did what they had to do. It's very unfortunate, it's a tragedy really," Millsap said, according to the newspaper. "She had ability, opportunity and jeopardy....The officers didn't have a choice."
But the officers should have known they had no legal right to enter Gooch's home and an unlawful, forced intrusion and illegal entry could have caused someone to be shot, "especially someone with a history of mental illness like Holli Gooch," according to the lawsuit.
Less than two months after Gooch's death, Millsap said his jailers then patrolmen would employ Tasers, but not due to three fatal police shootings in 2010. The main reason, he said, was the closure of the state-run mental health hospital in Rome, Northwest Georgia Regional.
Prather and another man were arrested following Gooch's death and a manhunt. Prather is serving a 20-year prison sentence for the Banana Boat armed robbery, which happened earlier Dec. 16, 2010, same day Gooch was shot and killed.

If they entered the home unlawfully that was wrong but that woman weilding a weapon trumps the unlawful entry. Tip: do not attack cops with a hammer when you know they are packing heat....duh
John Elish
10:55 am on Monday, November 19, 2012
The officers did what they had to do, I agree with Steve if you attack someone who is armed with a hammer, what do you think will happen?
10:58 am on Monday, November 19, 2012
Tip, don't enter someone's how unlawfully like a thigh and kill a woman in her own home, one which they had no legal right to be in to begin with. Badges DO NOT grant extra right. Don't be so blind Steve. If I entered your home, unlawfully, you would shoot and kill me, am I wrong?
11:00 am on Monday, November 19, 2012
No warrant, no entry... Agreeing with this is agreeing with the deputy breaking the law and violating this woman's constitutional right to unreasonable search and seizure, which cost her, her life.
3:27 pm on Monday, November 19, 2012
Jay. While it's generally true that when there is no warrant, there is no entry, it's far from being always the case. You may want to examine something called the "exigent" circumstance--to wit: they entered and the sought-after fugitive ran out the back door. Obviously, they knew something and it was apparently in the lady's best interest to keep them from catching him. Very tragic that she had to die but not necessarily illegal. But again, very sad. Neither of us were there and while money may be paid (it usually is) in matter like this, that doesn't make their actions unlawful
Kathryn Blake
4:37 pm on Monday, November 19, 2012
If they knew he was a fugitive, why did no one cover the back door? Knowing he would run, where else would he go? Think about it, And why can a grown man not use a taser, baton or physically take down a woman instead of shooting her four times. No it was not right her trying to block them but it could have been handled in a better manner.
6:51 pm on Monday, November 19, 2012
First of all, no where in the report does it state that there was a search warrant "...But the officers should have known they had no legal right to enter Gooch's home and an unlawful, forced intrusion and illegal entry could have caused someone to be shot...". § 17-5-1 - Search pursuant to lawful arrest authorized, breaks down the law under which a Constitutional Officer has the right to search and seizure. You can do the rest of the homework from there. Specifically, If a party gives consent to a search, a warrant is not required, even if the party is unaware of their right to refuse to cooperate.
6:52 pm on Monday, November 19, 2012
There are exceptions and complications to the rule, including the scope of the consent given, whether the consent is voluntarily given, and whether an individual has the right to consent to a search of another's property. In closing, the Sheriff's Office did NOT have a search warrant, they were merely showing up to a private residence "looking for the suspect", the person residing at the home did not consent to the deputies entering into the home by shutting the door and locking it. The deputy then kicked the door in, making a forceable entry into the residence. Again, Badges DO NOT grant you extra rights, it is merely a symbol of your place of employment. However, the Constitution IS the rule of law and no matter what uniform this person wears, it is the duty of that person to protect the individuals right to the Constitution and all proceedings held within it. They took an oath to said Constitution and they failed to uphold that oath.

It's about time!!! I only met Holli a couple of times and she was a sweet and loving mother!!! She helped me in times of need!! I was speechless and shocked when I read about her untimely death. My heart goes out to her family indeed!!! BCS cops have been getting away with this for far too long!!!!
an annoyed citizen
6:13 am on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
If i were on that jury , this case would be won by his ladies family. I don't care what anyone of you think, the truth is this death could have been prevented. First off they had no warrant and no leagal right to kick this ladies door in and the chase her into the kitchen and use deadly force on her.so they say she had a hammer! Why couldn't the pepper spray her? It sounds to me that she ticked BCSO off by closing and locking her door so they went ahead and kicked her door in and gained entry anyway. Regardless " law enforcement are also suppose to go by rules and laws. But for some reason some of them think they are to big and bad and the civilizations have no rights! I agree with Holly Marie Jackson BCSO has a long history of this it needs to be stopped. Example there was another woman shot to death on evergreen trail just the other day. I know that they have a job but they should be made to follow certain laws and persecutions , when doing it.

Open Space Technology: Supporting Self-organization
For generations, humans have organized themselves to get things done. When people come together, define their purpose, organize themselves to explore and act on what matters to them, great ideas, inspired per- formance, and sustained activity follow. By naming deeply human patterns that invite people to take responsibility for what they love as an act of service, Harrison Owen, created Open Space Technology. It enables groups of 5-2,000 to self-organize to handle complex and important issues, inviting useful leadership and structure to emerge.
Outcomes frequently include people:
✦ Feeling stretched, affirmed and supported in pursuing their work;
✦ Connecting with others, deepening relationships and discovering syn- ergistic collaborations;
✦ Opening to new insights and possibilities, birthing unexpected and in- novative initiatives;
✦ Strengthening their sense of clarity, solidarity, and community with others as they discover complementary intentions and language
Join this session for a taste of the theory, the practice and the spirit of Open Space.

Version 2.5 of the ArduCopter code is now available in the AP Mission Planner and in the downloads area!
The default PIDs are optimized for a 3DR/Jdrones quad with 850 motors and 10" props. If you're using more powerful motors/props, start by turning down Rate Roll P in 25% steps.
While some testers have reported very good flights with the default PIDs, some have reported that this release is a little "sharper" due to the DCM improvements and have found they needed to:
reduce stabilize P by 10% (i.e. 4.5 -> 4.2)
reduce stabilize D by 30% (i.e. 0.15 -> 0.10)
increase rate D from 0 to 0.001
Tuning loiter can be tricky. Refer to the discussions which will appear below for more community feedback on what parameters work best.
Please post your feedback in this discussion. For enhancement requests and bug report, please add them to the arducopter issues list. When possible please include logs (tlog and/or dataflash) and tell us whether you're using APM1 or APM2 and what version of the software you're using (presumably 2.5 but tell us anyway!).
Thanks for this release go to the developers (both in the core team but also those who have provided bug fixes through the issues list) and also the community members who participated in the previous release thread and provided some great detailed information in the form of issue reports and logs which allowed us to nail some bugs!
First Flight... first crash ;-(
I think the RATE ROLL P is too high... so one motormount demolished ;-(
See the Video
Yes, you have a fast oscillations, decrease RATE P and increase a little RATE I.
Just Roll? From 0.14 to 0.1?
Chris, use the "in flight CH6 Tuning function for this", is better than landing, connect the APM, change setting etc. etc.
About the min and max range you can use the "half" rule, for example if RATE P is now "0.140" (where 70 is the half) the right min tune value is "0.070" and the max "0.210".
With STAB P, the same rule, and so on.
Use this trick for all the parameters.
CH6 Tuning... hmmm.... i have no analog CH6 ;-( just a 2POS switch
do you have any analog channel variable channel with a potentiometer ? ch 7 ? ch 8 ? if so, connect it from the receiver (ch7 or 8) to apm input 6
No... no variable channel.
But i have orderd the 3DR RadioTelemetry Kit 433Mhz.
Even if you don't have a potentiometer on your radio, even a 3-position switch can work, provided you set the travel conservatively. Assign the 3 position switch to the tuning channel (6), set the upper and lower limits conservatively and this will still be better than manually writing the parameter from APM Planner each time.
BTW I previously thought tuning did not work on APM 1280s, but it does.
Marco, where can I find information on "in flight CH6 Tuning function for this" ?
I have a Graupner mx-20 with lots of chnls.
hi all:
I found this https://code.google.com/r/foobarbecue-ardupilot-ultrapwm/source/det...
Yep, I tried it and it works very well. I uploaded three (very poor, sorry) videos of it flying from my helmet camera. They are the top three videos here: www.youtube.com/user/thdrkisafrdofme

Long awaited James Cameron's Avatar in cinema's this week!
Avatar, is an American 3-D science fiction epic film written and directed by James Cameron, and was released on December 16, 2009 by 20th Century Fox. The film is co-produced by Lightstorm Entertainment, and focuses on an epic conflict on Pandora, an inhabited Earth-sized satellite of Polyphemus, one of three fictional gas giants orbiting Alpha Centauri A. On Pandora, human colonists and the sentient humanoid indigenous inhabitants of Pandora, the Na'vi, engage in a war over the planet's resources and the latter's continued existence. The term "Avatar" comes from the Sanskrit word Avatāra, which means "descent" or "form of oneself". The film will be released in 2D and 3D formats, along with an IMAX 3D release in selected theaters. The film is being touted as a breakthrough in terms of filmmaking technology, for its development of 3D viewing and stereoscopic filmmaking with cameras that were specially designed for the film's production. The film has been rated PG-13 by the United States MPAA for "intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking". In A.D. 2154, the story's protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former U.S. Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush and sentient-inhabited jungle-covered satellite of Polyphemus, one of three gas giants that orbit Alpha Centauri A, 4.3 light years from Earth. Pandora's biosphere is filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying. This world is also home to the Na'vi, a sentient humanoid race, who are considered primitive yet are more physically capable than humans. Standing three meters tall with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Na'vi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Na'vi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence. Directed by James Cameron Starring Sam Worthington Zoë Saldaña Stephen Lang Michelle Rodriguez Giovanni Ribisi Sigourney Weaver Music by James Horner Studio Lightstorm Entertainment Distributed by 20th Century Fox Release date(s) December 16, 2009 (World premiere) December 17, 2009 (Puerto Rico, Australia & New Zealand) December 18, 2009 (USA) Running time 161 minutes Country United States Budget $237 million Source:Wikipedia

POLITICS permeates pretty much everything we do here on Guam. At least, it often seems that way. We barely have any breathing room after an election before the next one seems to be under way, and our government, from the Maga'låhi on down to the lowest ranking classified worker, is a political entity.
Gov. Eddie Calvo and Lt. Gov. Ray Tenorio are fond of saying that once they were certified and sworn into office, they left partisan politics at the door. But of course they didn't – and probably couldn't. There are supporters to reward, jobs and government contracts to be doled out, and decisions to be made every day that are affected by politics.
So we learn to deal with the ebb and flow, the back and forth of party and politics that has the Republicans in the front office and the Democrats criticizing from the sidelines, but with the reverse situation no more than an election or two away.
Right now the looming battle is for control of the Guam Legislature, where Democrats have a majority but the Republicans have high hopes of giving Gov. Calvo a majority of his own party for the last two years of his first term. That will preoccupy us from now until Nov. 6, for we love our politics, we're close to our government leaders, and most of us enjoy the battle if only from the sidelines.
A recently enacted new law, however, allows politics to mix with the government of Guam to a greater extent than ever. Vice Speaker B.J. Cruz introduced the bill to modify the so-called Mini-Hatch Act, which governs the extent to which employees of the government may engage in partisan politics, to bring it into line with the Hatch Act as it affects federal employees. Lt. Gov. Tenorio signed it into law, and now government employees have more leeway to take an active role in the political party of their choice.
There's no question anymore about the election of Education Department interim Superintendent Taling Taitano as Democratic National Committeewoman, for example, or Tommy Morrison to run for the Legislature while still heading up the Bureau of Budget and Management Research.
The new law has been in the works for four or five months. It provides a two-tier process for determining the allowed involvement of GovGuam employees, depending on where they work. There will be more restrictions imposed on police officers, for example, or employees of the Civil Service Commission itself. The new law will also allow GovGuam employees to work as election precinct officials, something that wasn't permitted in the past. Employees are also now able to publicly endorse candidates, so long as they do not state their title, position or agency.
July 3 is the deadline for candidates to file for this year's election, the official start of the season. We're looking forward to it.
Politicizing GovGuam
Folks like to talk about the '90s as though those were the best times ever. Was it? I guess it was if you had had the upper hand in politics just as some folks had had the upper hand in politics in the 2000s decade. But, if you are always on the receiving end of bad policy and bad politics, then it does not make much difference who sits in Adelup or runs the show out of Hessler.

My Games |
Just curious as to how other people have designed the discriptions for their various ships' bridges (or librariums, barracks, etc.).
This is the general idea for the bridge on the Hand of Eris, the ship the PCs (I'm taking a shot at GMing) will most likely be getting when they complete their first endeavour. It's equipped with a Bridge of Antiquity, besides being a Reliquary of Mars and Ancient and Wise, and the ship is a leftover relic from the RT's dynasty's days of immense wealth and power. Not only did that seem like it would be cool to write a discription for, it's the climatic setting for the end of the endeavour, and thus had to be done anyway.
I looked at some of the illustrations of the archtypes and officers in the RT book and everywhere I could think of online, and noticed they were all kind of incredibly over the top in dress, so I ran with it. Alot of herbal meditation went into this, and I tried to leave things sort of vague as far as actual decorations so that the PCs can embelish in their own minds whatever they want.
I mostly just thought Old (as in STC and Real-life) Gothic, decorated by a 41st century version of a noble Age of Sail Lord Admiral crossed with a guy who owns two hummers and a Mercedes.
Bridge Layout
The first thing you notice as you step through the massive, gold inlaid doors leading into the bridge is the almost numbing plainness of it's towering armoured walls. The second thing is usually a realization that the walls are merely unadorned walls, leftovers from the ship's centuries in the military, and they only look plain compared to the rest of the sights confronting you. The stairs you stand on are covered by a thick rug that appears to cover most of the metal of the main floor. Looking at the rising walkways around you, you notice even the railings are almost works of art in their own right.
Bridge is nearly four stories tall, with the entrance being a giant, incredibly ornate staircase leading to a slightly sunken control pit. This is where most of the ship's "brain" is located, the void farers who operate the weapon controls, helm, and other key systems. Extending from the sides around the stairs are curving walkways, leading to a raised platform containing a hololithic projection tank and operations center. Rising slightly from the rear of this platform lies the Captain's Throne, a masterfully built construction, inlaid with the rarest of metals, and posted on a revolving platform, giving the Ship's Master a full view of his realm. The operations center contains basic auxiliary control stations for most primary functions (firing control, helm), along with full ship status and data displays, based on reports passed through ancient cognation devices operated by scores of tech-priest and servitors.
Slung below the platform is a small vestibule, accessible from a steep stair descending into the platform. Here, a ranking follower of the Machine God can interface with the ship, and it's mighty cognation drives. These richly emblazoned machines rise to nearly the full four story height of the bridge, and are accessible via spiralling staircases or lifts located at the sides of the main stairs.
An observation platform, rails hung with smouldering incense to ward off the daemons of the warp, ramps off of the second level of the cognators' walkway, extending high above the bridge, near the top of the massive viewport. The viewport rises three stories, raised slightly off the ground, and wraps slightly across the front of the bridge. From it, nearly 180 degrees in front of the vessel are visible. It is wreathed in gold finery, and is usually kept covered with it's thick adamantium blast shield while in combat and the warp.
Leading through the control pit, the staircase becomes narrower, and passes down to a door constructed of a crystalline stone, long since made extinct in it's natural form on a Solar planet's moon, framed in gold-sheathed metals and nearly unbreakable. Beyond this lies the Navigator's stations, and few are permitted into this sanctum.
That's my bridge! I'm curious to see what other people have dreamed up.

NOT MY WORK. The GM Montresor running our game here wrote it up, all credit to him: http://kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=88
"Combat Bridge
The bridge of the Invictus Aeterna still retains the purpose and functionality of its days of service to the Imperial Navy, although the helm has been slightly refitted to please the tastes of past Rogue Traders. The bridge sits at the central part of the frigate, at the highest point of elevation of the command section.
Laid out in a half circular pattern, the forward part of the bridge is hemmed by vaulted glass, standing almost three-storeys high. At the furthest point from the front, the lord-captain's throne sits upon a raised iron platform, intricately laid out in a gothic style, flanked by two wide half-spiral staircases leading to the floor of the bridge. Two parallel pits for the deck-servitors are sunken into the floor of the bridge. The servitors work with tireless devotion, ensuring the systems function at all hours. Tech priests silently patrol these pits, ensuring the machine spirit is appeased.
Below the lord-captain's deck rests the Navigator's Well, accessed only through a passage which leads directly to the navigator's quarters. From here, the ship's resident navigators plot the Invictus's journey and, when necessary, guide the vessel through the tumults of the Immaterium. Bearings are given directly to the helmsman who, at the forward part of the bridge, steers the frigate by an ornate wheel.
The remainder of the ship's systems are controlled by the senior officers and their subordinates. A bank of communications controls are accessed via ladders, and are built into the starboard walls. Here the comms officers sit at their chairs and monitor the ship's auger arrays. The port wall has a similar bank of systems, fronted by a narrow gantry, and used for the purposes of controlling the ship's power systems. At a slightly lower level before the edge of vaulted-glass, is the gunner's array. A dozen bridge staff here controls the Invictus's weapons, and are directed in action by the Gunnery Officer. Above this level, lined up facing the forward glass, numerous control banks are manned by the crew, regulating various systems throughout the vessel.
The bridge is accessed via the door to the Navigator's Well, as well as the main entrance, located below the lord-captain's deck. At all times, a staff of roughly a fifty officers crew the bridge, while a dozen armsmen stand as security. In times of battle, bridge staff is likely to be doubled."
The Thors Redemption, previously the Emperors Ascendency (while under the command of the Temple Tendency heretical group), formerly the Scourge of Fools (while under pirate command), formerly the Hammer of the Warp (under serving in the Imperial Navy) has a ship masters bridge. Here is the description i first gave my players
The bridge is a large open hall in two parts. The lower part has a floor 6 feet lower than the higher part. This area is filled with consoles, view screens and bustling activity. Each station typically has 2 crew and 1 officer. Most have an emplaced servitors or two. Each officer is responsible for his particular section. The different sections are Helm, Starboard Gunnery Decks, Port Gunnery Decks, Engines, Warp Engines, Small Craft Control, Augur arrays (this section is particularly large with 5 crew, 1 officer and 5 servitors), Environmental Control, Void Shields, Gellar Fields. In a small open faced chapel to one side sit 4 techpriests who monitor the ships health and liaise with their fellow techpriests throughout the ship.
The upper section has a large holotank for tactical situations, another that displays large scale navigation data (such as the route between star systems, potentially up to the size of the sector) and several large viewscreens hanging from the ceiling that can display a variety of data, from individual crew stations to exterior views. Central to the upper section is the command throne. This huge chair has ports for MIU interfaces and its systems allow a captain to commandeer any ships system that can be controlled from the bridge. It is also well armoured and in the event of an emergency can be sealed and ejected from the ship as a lifeboat. The throne requires a command sceptre before it will activate. This is always held by the watch officer and the captain carries a more elaborate version. The captains command sceptre also opens any locked door on the ship and has a built in power generator (counts as a power maul in combat). Stations near the captains throne allow senior officers to commandeer other bridge stations and allow access to smaller versions of the captains view screens.
Near the rear of the bridge is a small open elevator disc that can take a single person up into the ceiling where a small corridor allows access to the navigators suite. Here there is space for three navigators to work. There is a central circular room with a huge mass of interface equipment attached to a central pillar. Sealed navigator couches extend out from this pillar and thick bunches of cables snake into the heads of the couches. The couches themselves are made of Adamantium and are dressed in velvet and silk with thick cushioning and a variety of viewscreens on the armoured canopies. Small rooms off this central chamber hold a chapel and a toilet.
Since then we've played quite a few sessions and the description has been widened. The Bridge is panelled in dark polished wood. The metal surfaces are highly polished but dark. Crew communication is very strict. Lower ranked crewmen such as ensigns man the stations, they confer only with their servitors, crew working in the relevant section of the ship (hanger bays for instance) or their station officer. The station officer talks only to the junior officers manning the station, the first officer or the captain. They are allowed to answer questions from the other senior dynasty members (arch militant/seneschal/etc) or to volunteer information in a crisis but otherwise decorum recommends speach only through the chain of command. All crew on the bridge dress impeccably in military-esque uniforms (as the dynasty has no official uniform for ships crew).
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
-Richard P. Feynman

Hi-Tech returns to Low-Tech
I like this, but it seems to be taking something currently prized for its low-tech simplicity, spinning, and automating it. Are there cycles of technology? People reject machined versions of things and do them by hand…only to create machines to help? Hmmmm…..

Blog of a veggie lady who can't stay in one place for too long, loves to dumpster dive, loves to craft and can rant about feminism for hours! Just little notes and photos from my travels and the qwirky, fun, arty and ridiculous things I've seen! (and things I've found in bins.)
The Finn's are crazy people! They like to do things like jumping in frozen lakes, so we did too! It's always -4oC under the ice, which makes it about 16 degrees warm than Finland a lot of the time! We went to a smoke sauna in the middle of nowhere, and had to walk across lots of ice to get to the lake, that was the most painful bit. Jumping into the lake was a shock, but not the worst bit! And on the way back my hair was making cracking noises from freezing so quickly! But when you get back in the sauna and warm up it's the most amazing feeling!

Salicylic acid is an active ingredient in some nonprescription acne treatments. When you apply it to your skin, it dries up whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. It also causes the top layer of your skin to peel.
Products that contain salicylic acid may cause tingling and a mild redness of the skin. Use them less often if you notice that your skin becomes very red or very dry.
You'll find salicylic acid mainly in pads that you rub on your skin. Brand names include Stridex and Noxzema pads.

does what it says on the tin, comfortable easy to place in shoes and reasonably priced, would definitely purchase for other shoes that I possess – Mr. D. S. Rowe
No problems, it does what it says. Are good for slippers and trainers, maybe for big boots as well. I would recomend for young people but for the elders maybe its too soft.- quality-price
I used these insoles to replace the insoles in my hillwalking boots. The improvement in comfort is remarkable with rough terrain feeling like a carpet. My first pair has lasted 12 months so far and is still going strong, having had about 10 outings My only criticism (minor) would be about the flimsiness of the outer lining. This means that care is required to ensure that the insoles do not ruck up when inserting your feet into the boot. But, at this price, what the heck .I have bought more pairs and intend to use them in my cycling shoes. Overall, tremendous value – Baz

To cut to the quick, since my last entry, my crush has become a fair bit straighter and deprived me of our juicy eye connectivity, except for once in a while. At the end of last week, I didn't have much chance to talk to him, and when I would've, he was blithering on about CARS and 'straight boy' such to some guys in the class.
I kept trying to make eye contact with him today during our lessons and it only clicked a couple of times. My usual flamboyance didn't seem to phase him (I'm not OVERLY flamboyant, or even that, I just make everyone laugh every once in a while and he has such a lovable smile) until I laughed super loudly at the same time as he did at a bunch of blurted out wrong answers. I.e. the teacher says: so 2+2 = ? and a handful of people really think it's 2 and we both laughed and stared at each other for 10ish secs and then kept laughing.
However, something I have not divulged is that he is a bit sickly. NO not in looks and NO not in scent or anything. He sneezes more often than you'd expect though, and that's really something that got the looks going between he and I, since I'd always say 'Bless You!'. This morning he was really pale, then got back to normal after an hour or so, but my mind would like to think that explains his distance.
During lunch I was really bored so I sat down opposite him at this table and we glanced at each other and then away and he kept talking to the people there and I appeared to half-listen half-observe other tables while sitting. Then one of the straight guys said something funny (and they were talking about a dumb girl from their shared school) and he laughed pretty heftily and I had to slap on a smile, but he didn't even look at me even though my eyes were trained on him for a minute or more (no one else noticed but still!).
So hmm. Perhaps I was wrong and my crush is a straight boy? It doesn't seem to bother me as much now, I still want him but I don't crave him as I did a few weeks back. A little under a week of class to go though, so I'm debating finding SOME excuse (can you think of any?) to go to his house after school on the last day, or to just stalk him out of the exam and ask him to come over yonder and grab him by the shoulders and kiss him.
In other news, my driving is improving - my instructor is a bit annoying as heck though, he refuses to schedule two lessons in a row. So that means I have more than a dozen to go on seperate days and have to consider them all... when I could get 4 done in a vacant afternoon and not have my mom implore me to go drive her around for practice. Harry Potter 7 wasn't as good as I would've hoped, the middle of it seemed way too drawn out/pointless, happy ending... but I would've way preferred some twist or future dark potential.
