The Confederacy is the old Kaloth military, while the Xenon Project (the existing confed fleet in the mod) is a new fleet devised by MSD (Micro Sexual Device) and KTA (Kill Them All). They're both allied against the Undead fleet known as the Black Squadron.
/edit btw if you are interested in learning more about the world I suggest checking out this topic In The Admiral's Service also AO2 really doesn't have a hope of even being started much less reach a degree of completion for the simple fact I can't model characters, nor uv, or skin, nor rig, nor animate.

Ship Analysis; Kaloth Battle Barge
Length: 4,200 meters Weapons: Twin rocket launchers * Graphic not finished, check later for edit These large civilian transports have been boarded and converted into extremely unversatile weapons platforms by Kaloth Industries to use as a barricade against advancing Undead forces. Often found drifting around Stardocks or starbases abandoned after the onset of an attack, or boarded and turned course back to the run after being discovered fleeing from the scene, these transports are jerry-rigged with two large rocket launchers that possess the capacity to shatter the ship in half with recoil. Once in a position, these moderately ranged ships will relentlessly bombard enemy targets until they either explode or are maimed by a stray plasma bolt. While not terribly durable, mobile, or dangerous on their own, they're cheap to produce and make excellent cannon fodder. They are available immediately in the Orbital Bar as opposed to requiring capital facilities to construct. Ship analysis; Kaloth Battleship Length: 26,000 kilometers Weapons: KA-nsc3b Trasjectic Beam Cannons, 1,000MT nuclear rockets, Mega Cannon The premiere battleship variant of Kaloth Industries' KA-nsc chassis has repeatedly undertaken upgrades throughout its long life. Its primary weapons have rarely changed, however, instead leaving alternate loadouts to the different classes, such as the Durnkic. The Battleship's primary weapon is a series of oversized Trasjectic beam cannons that fire a modified fusion bolt across extreme distances. Although very slow to recharge, the bolts create miniature supernovas upon impact with a target, dealing massive AoE damage. In close range, the Battleship can deploy volleys of nuclear munitions to pepper an enemy ship with burningness. In their recent third generation upgrades, Battleships are now given an updated loadout that includes an incredibly powerful "Mega Cannon", the specs of this weapon remain unreleased to the general public before its deployment in fear of the grimy ones learning of its existence. The nsc3b Battleship is larger and just as agile as the Xenon variant but does less damage in exchange for superior durability. Its primary weapon is an AoE weapon that deals damage across a large radius and is considerably slower to fire than the Xenon equivalent. Ship Analysis; Lenin II Length: 100 meters Weapons: Fusion Cruise Missile, Beam Cannon * Graphic not modeled oh god this probably won't be done for a while Predating the Lenin III Advanced fighter and the Xenon Project's Lenin Xero+ chassis, there was the lenin II, which was actually a walker robot suited for space travel more than a fighter. Its large stature and massive amount of armor made it excellent in supporting capital ships in long-ranged duels, but it lacks the speed and maneuverability of a true fighter. Once true fighters started appearing, such as the Lenin III, the Lenin II started to fade into obscurity as more of a corvette than a fighter. Still, it remains in Kaloth service, mostly because there are still a lot of them just lying around. |

Some models I already had, like the Kaloth battleship base chassis. For entirely new models, barring any difficulties it takes about an hour to go from start to in grp format.
Here's the Battle Barge; Kaloth nsc Carrier variant, Supership (Battleship) This post was edited 1 time, last edit by IskatuMesk: Sep 19 2008, 4:32 am. |
Post #49 IskatuMesk Sep 19 2008, 4:30 am
The carrier's foresection is pure armor, it is unarmed, the side cannons are replaced by hangars, and the whole front and midsection are enlarged in comparison to the battleship.
I edited the post to provide quick reference. Also, there is a Durnkic variant, and about two others to be made, and then the Supremus class. |

Ship analysis' Kaloth Durnkic
The NSC hull is outfitted with a number of potentially disfiguring Titan Reactors, PowerRay's, and an internal conduit system. When Kaloth presented its plans several years ago to produce the Durnkic variant of the NSC platform, the sound made by the entire high council and Board of Flaming Retards facepalming all at once was enough to deafen would-be onlookers. Despite defying every single safety protocol in existence, including ones designed to protect genitalia of crew members using toilets during service hours where vibrations caused by generators and the chemical sharpening of toilet seats done by Janitors to collect "materials" for their secret experiments, Kaloth went ahead with their design. The Durnkic sacrifices every secondary system possible, including all of the defensive turrets, to power two mass driver weapons in the front of the ship that replaced the armor and support quadrants. These huge cannons can not only fire 2 kilometer-long slugs across short distances at ridiculously fast speeds, but they also energize the projectiles, capable of producing a projectile that can bore straight through a star without slowing down. The cost of this formidable firepower is dramatically reduced range and durability, and a lethal radiation that has the power to instantly melt any crew member on the front half of the ship when the devices are powering up. /edit Never saw your post lawl The Omega will be dwarfed by the largest ships. And I do mean dwarfed. Right now, I do a chunk of models, and then enable about half of them, and then continue. I'm saving grafting work for last of the segments and string work for last besides the basics like ship names. As I go along I enable new effects and sounds. So yes, it's a big goddamn mess. I just do what the wind takes me to do. This post was edited 1 time, last edit by IskatuMesk: Sep 19 2008, 7:33 am. |
Post #53 IskatuMesk Sep 19 2008, 11:25 am
I've run into my first major setback this morning at 4:30. After throwing some Kaloth ships into the game I have come to the conclusion that the sc palette is raping their color depth way too much for their current texture to be usable. So I have to re-render every single Kaloth ship I've made to date with a new texture. Not hard, just stupidly time-consuming.
First I have to find a new texture. My most promising candidate is a steel-white to further separate them from the moderate Undead blue and the dark black Xenon. Old; New; Darksteel; /edit I don't think the white steel will work. I managed to create a deep-blue traditional darksteel texture that seems to work very well. I have to decide if this is what I want to keep. I think I'll be keeping it. /e Updated carrier /e Updated Durnkic This post was edited 4 times, last edit by IskatuMesk: Sep 19 2008, 1:46 pm. |

STORY 1: Partying with the Parents
Jane and Alex's dad is celebrating 20 years in the mattress business, but his big anniversary party isn't all jumping-on-the-bed sort of fun. Jane desperately wants to come up with a good joke to make her dad laugh, while Alex has yet to tell her parents (guest stars Christopher McDonald and Julie Hagerty) that she's gotten back together with Dave, who's made a surprise appearance at the party.
Memorable Quotes:
Mrs. Kerkovich: "What did I teach you about buffet strategy?"
Alex: "Always start with your high-end meats. Skip veggies, they'll only fill you up with nonsense."
Mrs. Kerkovich: "And?"
Mrs. Kerkovich: "Be sure to make sexual eye contact with the carver, your stomach will thank you."
Dave: "I should be here. We're getting serious again."
Mrs. Kerkovich: "Serious?"
Alex: "Yeah, he means how, like, we're all getting serious again, y'know because of all the wars and the flash mobs and that floating garbage island. OK, we are post-Katrina, guys."
Mr. Kerkovich: "It takes a big man to stay friends with the woman who humiliated him like that."
Dave: "Well, I don't think 'humiliated' is the right word to use."
Mrs. Kerkovich: "Emasculated."
Mr. Kerkovich: "That's good. 'Embarrassed.' 'Castrated.'"
Mrs. Kerkovich: "Ooh, can the word 'eunuch' be a verb?"
Dave: "No!"
Alex: "It's a place, mom."
Mrs. Kerkovich: "Have you been dating anyone?"
Dave: "Dating? Yes! Lots. Yards and yards of ladies. In fact, meters, even. Because of the Canadians. Yep, I'm all aboot that Canadian strange, eh?"
Brad (to a depressed Dave): "Why the long face, Michael Phelps?"
Brad: "For years, my Aunt Margaret's nickname for Jane has been 'Cocaine.'"
Dave: "What?"
Brad: "Yeah, skinny, white, the scourge of the black community."
Dave: "Wow. That's a special kind of racism."
Dave (making an announcement at the party): "Alex Kerkovich and I are dating again. That's right! The guy she left at the altar is back on the scene. But you shouldn't look at me as a victim. No, no. You should only look at the ladies that I was with while Alex and I were broken up as victims... of good sex."
STORY 2: The Fifth Wheel
Penny has been spending all her time with new beau, Pete. Max is feeling like a fifth wheel, so he tries to find a replacement Penny.
Memorable Quotes:
Dave (to Max): "We're not fifth-wheeling you, Joey Fatone."

Also I have been practicing my double unders and they are going very well!
Also I have been practicing my double unders and they are going very well!
I may not be able to do this games WoD, at least any time soon. My shoulder is completely shot and I don't think jerks (even though they are like my 2nd favorite lift) are in my near future though you never know.
The one thing that really tilts me about my gym is that we can't drop weight. Even watching the demo vid these guys drop every time and honestly, catching on the way down is quite taxing.
Anyone had problems with their shoulders in the past? It's funny when I first started getting back into xfit i spent a lot of time stretching my hips. I'm happy I did but I feel like an idiot for completely ignoring my shoulders lol. This sucks.
What are your shoulder problems? I had some posterior shoulder problems a while back but it was all a result of really bad mobility. My upper back/thoracic mobility is for shit, and working on that + form really helped.
As for open wod 3, 165 is my BW so this should be fun. I've missed Grace the last couple of times my box did it so I have no clue what to expect. I'm shooting for 15-20 rds, but those squat cleans are gonna get awful real fast.
Doctor @ 10am tomorrow, pretty much just me not treating my shoulder well (time to buy a new chair imo). Ton of pain on any dips, pushups, etc. - was a problem after i tore my shoulder in a basketball game - suddenly has resurfaced.
I'm with you on the squat cleans. I'll jerk 165 unbroken until I'm blue in the face but catching/front squatting? Not thank you dealer. They don't even let me drop!
How'd the shoulder appt go?
Turns out I was totally wrong about this wod - the squat cleans were not a problem at all, but my jerks were awful. I got 12 rounds + at least 5 missed jerks. I did 10 in the first 3 minutes and then 2 in the last 2 minutes, so things deteriorated pretty quickly. Sigh I'm terrible overhead.
eta: i just needed to drop under the bar better - for whatever reason when I get tired I drop LESS than when I'm fresh - and since I can't press for shit I can't do some terrible half-jerk + big pressout thing that a lot of the bigger/stronger guys do.
It went well though it's worse than before. I've been subbing some movements - like instead of backsquats yesterday i did fronts because they put no pressure on my shoulder - because no xfit just makes me feel like doing nothing at all. The coaches are pretty good about letting me sub, though I'm really pissed I can't do FGB today.
The doctor taped down my trap so i couldn't fully engage it. Basically I messed it up now constantly overcompensate and put it in a really bad position. I should have gone for a few more sessions the last time I saw her but didn't because I felt fine. I go back Tuesday and will probably go once or twice a week for the immediate future.
It still hurts just all the time which kinda sucks.
After raising my arm to block a shot in basketball it came flying down and I was wincing in pain. I didn't even touch the ball.
I suspended my blackbox membership for the time being. NYSC has a 30 days for $30 I'm going to use to row, run, and do some heavy lifts that don't hurt my shoulder. Stuff like front squats and dead lifts seem fine and I'll be scouring the main site for WoDs I can actually do. Because the blackbox is so crowded it's very less than ideal for doing your own WoD. I already feel like a jerk asking for special treatment every time I go.
It is going to be a sad month but I'll be happy to be back on my 3 on 1 off because I feel gross.
I have been doing modified WoDs on my own for a number of years now, but I am sure that my form is off and I know that I am not pushing myself to do my best. I start up at Crossfit here in Brooklyn in the morning. Looking forward to it.

The difference between doing a wod on your and doing one at a box with a bunch of other people encouraging you is like night and day imo. Enjoy!
Get well soon man.
First time at Crossfit... dislocated shoulder. Not the best start.
First time at Crossfit... dislocated shoulder. Not the best start.
!!! I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?
Pullups, oddly enough. I dislocated it previously in September training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Popped out right at the end of the WoD and I felt like I had a pretty good time for my first class too. Popped back in about 10 seconds later. Didn't hurt at all at the time, but it sure hurts right now.
wow @ wod 4. My lolbad flexibility means I probably won't even get to the muscle ups, which is a shame because I can actually do them (well, maybe not after 60 burpees and 30 OHS at 120# haha). They're not fuckin around anymore, that's for sure.

ArduPlane 2.40 has now been released. Many thanks to everyone who gave flight test feedback on the beta release!
Note that ArduPlane now uses MAVLink 1.0, so you'll need to update your Mission Planner to the newer version, which supports that. You'll find it in the same directory as your current Mission Planner, in a file called ArduPilotMegaPlanner10.exe
For a list of feature changes, see the ArduPlane-2.40-beta announcement. Since the beta the following things have changed:
Happy flying!
Many thanks Andrew Trigell! Can I call you Tridge?
Forget about us for a while..... and take care of You!
I would like to second this sentiment. Wishing you get well soon.
Small correction:
-The mount code is enabled by default now (the code that points the camera or antenna)
-The camera code is disabled by default (the code that triggers the camera shutter)
Updated instructions on how to use it are here:
I plan to do a proper demo video, but I'm still missing some features in the mission planner (mount mode selection, camera triggering, scriptable mount mode selection, scriptable moint point target and scriptable camera triggering)
Once these features are in place, and the weather allows it, I will do the video.
Congrats, Tridge, and just in time for the Sparkfun competition, where I know of several planes that will be flying this today!
There are two Mission Planner executables in the folder where it was installed. Take a peek in that folder, and you'll find one that ends with ArduPilotMegaPlanner10.exe or something similar... just run that version. Make a shortcut for that version so you can find it easier in the future. Let me know if you cannot find the file, and I'll boot up my winDoze box and give you the proper name, this is just from memory.
I had the same problem.
Mike, your solution is exactly correct.
You need a new Desktop shortcut to "ArduPilotMegaPlanner10.exe".
Many thanks.
All good now.
I've just recently delved into ArduPlane. I'm intending to install it in the HK EPP FPV frame and would appreciate any guidance on tuning. I've heard it's similar to the Skywalker, but I don't know how the default parameters will work right off the bat. Does anyone know of some reasonable parameters to start with? Thanks!
If I were you, I'd go talk to Dieter see his plane and Yiangos Yiangou about his plane. You might also follow up with Espenthrondsen who was asking a similar question about this airframe just yesterday. I used the "search" feature at the top right, I'm sure if you dig around, you'll find even more folks that I did who are flying this airframe already.
And you might post a follow question at on this thread to find out who there has built to this airframe since January of last year, or you might post a new forum entry in the ArduPlane group asking who flies an HK EPP.
Thanks all for the tests!
I use manual level and since upgrading to 2.4 today I get the following error when trying to do level:
Failed to level: AP 2.32+ required. This is new and worked perfectly on 2.34.
Any ideas?
Purple Dragon I got that message with 2.34. I ignored it and checked the Flight Data screen and personnaly I like the MANUAL_LEVEL set to a "1" after checks are good. Might be a bug there...
Hi all, I uploaded the 2.4 in my APM arduplane 1.0 2560, I've also loaded the file. param used in my skywalker. But something strange happens when I disconnect the battery and re-plug. PIDs return to their initial default confuguracion. configuration file .param disappears.
anyone knows why this happens?

We were beginning to think summer would never arrive! There is still snow in the mountains, and the rivers are running very high for July. Just two weeks ago our spring garden was in full bloom, bulbs and all! As a matter of fact, we're still cutting beautiful bouquets of lilac for Pete's sake! (The fragrance of the Korean lilac outside our back door today is absolutely intoxicating!) Yet we're already into July, having experienced our first two consecutive weeks of warm weather.
With the rivers so high the fishing has not been very good so far, but August should be an angler's paradise! Until then, there is plenty going on in Bozeman to keep people amused. Music on Main is every Thursday evening from 6:30 to 8:00 through August 18th. Many shops stay open late and Main Street closes to vehicle traffic at that time. In addition to the various bands that perform there are several planned activities for children and food vendors provide quick bites to be enjoyed in the streets.
Art Walks occur on the second Friday of the month through September from 6 to 8PM. Art galleries and businesses displaying artwork located along Main Street and at the Emerson Center for Arts and Culture stay open late. The galleries feature artists' openings and receptions and often provide hors d'oeuvres and complimentary refreshments. Also, keep an eye out for local musicians playing music as your stroll Main Street in Downtown Bozeman.

Saw Lou Reed at a bar in Harv Sq. He was very friendly and approachable chatting with fans, etc.. Saw Bodega Girls play a sponsored gig. Lead singer stripped down to wear just the brand's bumbag and some briefs. Music was so-so.. decent electro pop new wave stuff, though the hipster crowd reaction was 'meh'. Or they were really into it. It's hard to tell these days.

Both those things sound like they happened. I <3 them though.

Tropic Beanie vs Titanium beanie
By Iceman's mom
from Scottsdale, AZ
About Me Beginner
Comments about XS Scuba 2 mm Tropic Beanie:
The picture on the internet catalog is the XS Scuba Titanium beanie of which is what I thought I was ordering, however, what I received it the xs tropic beanie which is less coverage and not as quality as titanium. The picture on the catalog should be changed to reflect the actual beanie being sent.

Velcro closure not really necessary - just neoprene strap like the Neo Sport or O'Neill beanie works fine to stretch under chin.LP has a great exchange policy if fit is not right.

© 2011 Arkansas Air Museum at Drake Field, Fayetteville Arkansas. All rights reserved.
The Arkansas Air Museum is home to some of the nation's only surviving varieties of aircraft and some world-famous replicas. While the signature pieces of the collection are from the Golden Age of Aviation, those halcyon years from 1928 to 1940, there's something for everyone. From OX-5 piston engines to Apollo rockets; from First World War fighters to Vietnam veterans, every age of aviation is at the A.A.M. Here's a look at what's on the floor at the White Hangar. Remember, if there is something in particular that you want to see, PLEASE call the museum office at (479) 521.4947 to make sure it is still in the building. Since the majority of the collection is airworthy, the respective owners do take the airplanes out to fly.
Sam Walton's Ercoupe Model 415-C |
This aircraft was the first airplane that Sam Walton bought.Ercoupe 415-C details. |
LearJet 23 |
This aircraft is a LearJet model 23. It was built in 1964, and is only the ninth Lear to roll off the assembly line. This plane was modified by Bobby Younkin and was used in numerous air shows across North America. LearJet 23 details. |
Luscombe 8E |
The Luscombe Model 8E is a two place side-by-side strut braced, high-wing cabin monoplane powered by a single eighty-five horsepower, four cylinder air-cooled engine. Luscombe 8E details. |
Howard DGA-6 Mister Mulligan |
Welcome to the Ben Howard National Air Races. This replica of the original DGA-6 Mister Mulligan was built Jim Younkin of Springdale, Arkansas. The original was destroyed during the 1936 Bendix Trophy race...Mister Mulligan details. |
Howard DGA-18K |
It's not what you think. No, it's not a Ryan PT-22. This two-place monowing Howard was one of several trainers stationed in Fayetteville during the Second World War. Howard DGZ-18K details. |
Stinson S Junior |
From the Golden Age of Aviation. In April 1928, the first of the Junior series rolled off the assembly line at Stinson Aircraft Corporation's Detroit factor. The SM-2, designed by William Naylor, was the first of a long line of Juniors built by Stinson from 1928 to 1931. Stinson S Junior details. |
Curtiss-Wright CW-1 Junior |
Different to say the least. Born of a pilot's love for a powered glider and a company's desire to capture the light aircraft market, the CW-1 Junior made its first flight in December 1930. Curtiss-Wright CW-1 Junior details. |
Boeing-Sterman N2S-S (PT-17) |
The plan that trained America's pilots. In the United States, one of the most widely used primary trainers of the Second World War period was the Boeing-Sterman Kaydet. Boeing-Sterman N2S-2 (PT-17) details. |
Mini-500 Helicopter |
Tired of being stuck in traffic? With a Mini-500 you could just be lifted above all that hustle and bustle and land in the front yard of your destination. Sound like fun, eh? Mini-500 details. |
Bell UH-1H Huey Helicopter |
The Uh-1, or Huey, is one of the most recognized aircraft of the Vietnam era. This chopper had a wide variety of uses ranging from medical evacuation to troop transport to gunship. Bell UH-1H helicopter details. |
Bell AH-1S Cobra Helicopter |
The first modern combat helicopter. In the early 1960's, the Bell Company invited U.S. Army officials to view a mock-up of a new combat helicopter. Bell AH-1S Cobra Helicopter details. |
Douglas A-4 Skyhawk |
From Yankee Station to the Blue Angels. Designed as the jet-age successor to the AD-1 Skyraider, the Douglas Aircraft engineers took a hard look at the growing cost of complexity and modern fighters. Douglas A-4 Skyhawk details. |
Aeronca L-16 |
The first forward observer. The use of light aircraft as the eyes of the army is as old as the airplane itself; however, at the outset of the Second World War it was still an unorthodox role. Aeronca L-16 details. |
Ch-ch-ch-changes |
Like many museums, we rotate our collection. Many of the aircraft that you see at the museum are owned by private collectors. Almost all are still flying and many depart regularly to perform and appear at air shows across the country. As a result, the lineup is always changing. Please check in with the museum if there is something special you want to see by calling us at 479.521.4947. A few planes that have been made famous by the Arkansas Air Museum have moved on, but we've kept some of our old pages so that you can fondly remember them from their days in the White Hangar. Here are some of the planes that once resided at the A.A.M. that are no longer based in Fayetteville. |

Usually, coyotes and freeways are a bad combination but in this case it's cause for celebration. The US-60 overpass slopes at Idaho Road have been getting a makeover with a colorful rock art coyote design.
The design was originally conceived from a photo of coyotes drinking from the fountain at City Hall. Drawings were made from the photo by the city's Multi-Media Producer Matthew McNulty, and included in the grant proposal. The approved designs now add some whimsy and visual interest in place of the large dirt slope that faced the on- and off-ramps before.Families Sought For Home Ownership

Prospector Soccer Falls In Overtime To Combs, 3-2
Apache Junction and Combs played about as even a match as you could expect this past Tuesday at Davis Field, but in the end, it was the Coyotes who prevailed in overtime by a 3-2 score.
The match was tied 2-2 at the end of the first half and neither team was able to score in the forty-minute second half nor the first ten minute overtime period. But in the second overtime period, Combs put the gamewinner in the net with just 4:16 remaining to pull out the "W."

Dr. David Edwards and Dr. Sean Lamy co-captain Source Chiropractic and Rehab, skillfully treating the spine and its neighboring musculature—Dr. Edwards even travels with the New Orleans Saints as their go-to sideline aligner. Upon arrival at Source, as a new patient you will be asked to fill out paperwork about your medical history and disconcerting condition, which will be followed by a consultation with one of the doctors. Combining the information gathered during a one-on-one chat about present physical ailments and concerns and the results from standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations (testing your reflexes and mobility), your doctor will begin to determine the best course of treatment.
A visit to the Harvey dental practice promises a friendly staff that will make you feel more at home than the unfriendly staff at your current home. After a visual examination of your teeth, a full cosmetic consultation with the friendly doctor will mimic 12th-grade visits to the guidance counselor with a chat about your pie-hole's potential. The doc will present you with a variety of available options to direct you on the right path toward a Daytime Emmy Award–winning smile. You'll be sent home with a week's worth of Nite White do-it-yourself teeth-whitening products to administer before bed for 5–7 nights. As you slumber, Nite White's mild solution of teeth-bleaching peroxides will labor like a camp of miniature Zambonis to scrub away food, coffee, tobacco, and syrup stains, leaving your smile embrightened and betwinkled.
It may seem counterintuitive to some, but Affirm Fitness's head fitness trainer, Lauren Leitner, also owns a biscotti-making business. Of course, all of the desserts she doles out are low in fat, making them tasty complements to the healthy lifestyle that she hopes to impart upon her students at Affirm Fitness. There, she and fellow trainers lead exercisers of all stripes through boot camps that are either traditional or tailored to new moms. Cardio-and-sculpt boot camp shows exercisers how to have fun as they transition between drills in agility, interval training, and body-weight resistance. In baby-friendly Bootie Camp, participants push strollers a little bit faster than usual for a cardio workout that allows them to spend time with little ones while they improve themselves. Moms can even spend a little time sculpting muscles with hand weights or by lifting diaper bags filled with bricks. Affirm Fitness's class schedule also includes dance-inspired Zumba cardio workouts, relaxing yoga, and TRX suspension training.
In 1959, Robert Trent Jones Sr. completed work on Timberlane's 7100-yard, par-72 golf course near the west bank of the Mississippi, and it still stands as a friendly, challenging round in a pleasant, private setting. Mature oaks line the sides of each Bermuda-grass fairway, and in 2007, Timberlane re-surfaced its expansive greens with Tif Eagle turf, giving putts a new zip and helicopter pilots a new view. Before hitting the links, sharpen up your chipping, putting, pitching, pitch-shifting, and Super Bowl Shuffling on the all-grass practice range and putting green, or try the driving range nearby. When you're ready, hop in your provided golf cart to match wits with the labyrinthine course, which features four sets of tee areas per hole, 17 water hazards, 80 sand bunkers, and 13 mechanical yetis. If he's around, see if you can snag a tip from resident PGA pro Tim Brown, who was named by Golf Digest as the #1 Best Teacher in Louisiana in 2009.
The licensed massage therapists at Ready2Relax send calming ripples across muscles with comforting bodywork. Contended sighs drift across the studio as the medium pressure of flowing Swedish strokes tempers aches. The therapists are also trained in deep-tissue pressure or reflexology, which can help to access pain situated deeper in tissue. Volcanic rocks soak up warmth, letting them slip across tense musculature to improve mobility after working out or smashing all the cinder blocks at a rival karate dojo.
Yogi Michele Baker began teaching yoga at a New Orleans athletic club in 1998. Ten years later, after Hurricane Katrina forced Baker to evacuate her home, she started writing a yoga-instruction training manual. She soon put it to use, using it as a guide to lead her staff at Swan River Yoga, which she opened with business partner Keith Porteous. Today, the yoga center helps pupils practice yoga and guides aspiring instructors as they hone their craft and nurture the third eye that sprouts from their forehead.
Yoga classes are suitable for a variety of skill levels, and range from prenatal and beginners' yoga to Anusara yoga—a class that focuses on flowing movements and proper alignment. Swan River Yoga also provides holistic services such as massage, reiki, and acupuncture.

A Food Network, foodNetwork.vkb, in the Reference section of the downloads is a KnowledgeBase that engages the user in small talk about food. The foodNetwork is implemented as a Semantic Network with a single primary rule, "Food". The Verbot Player Engine routes the user input through a network of nested synonyms. The Child Rules provide stops along the way, adding context by setting vars variables. When the Engine reaches the destination Rule, it is sent back to a top level Rule where the context held in the vars variables add relevance to the Verbot's generic response.
For example:
Verbot: Let's talk about food. What is your favorite Meat?
User: I like pot roast.
Verbot: Do you like Lentils and Ham?
User: I like ham.
Verbot: ham, I see. Do you like Seafood?
User: I prefer ice cream.
Verbot: ice cream 's fine. I like Southern Pecan Cheesecake Ice Cream.

Tayshaun Prince joins USA Men's National Team
May 4, 2010Detroit Pistons and former University of Kentucky standout Tayshaun Prince is among four players added Tuesday to USA Basketball's 2010-12 National Team.
The additions of Prince, Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Tyreke Evans (Sacramento Kings) and Jeff Green (Oklahoma City Thunder) puts the National Team roster at 31 players.
"We're excited about the addition of these four outstanding players," Jerry Colangelo, USA Basketball chairman, said in a press release. "Tayshaun is a versatile veteran who returns to the program after helping the United States win gold in the (2008) Olympics and at the 2007 FIBA Americas Championship, which served as our zone's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
"Jeff was part of the 2008 USA Select Team that trained against the Olympic team and he was again impressive last summer at the national team mini-camp. And in adding Tyreke and Stephen we have brought into the national team fold two of the game's most exciting and promising newcomers."
Prince has played in 28 games for Team USA, averaging 4.3 points and 1.9 rebounds per game. Limited to 49 games this season due to a back injury, he averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists for the Pistons, shooting 48.6 percent from the field.
Previously named to the National Team were 2008 Olympians: Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets), Carlos Boozer (Utah Jazz), Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors), Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic), LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers), Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets), Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat) and Deron Williams (Jazz). Also named were 2004 Olympic bronze-medalists Lamar Odom (Lakers) and Amar'e Stoudemire (Phoenix Suns).
Also on the National Team roster: LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers); Chauncey Billups (Denver); Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City); Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo (Memphis Grizzlies); Eric Gordon (Los Angeles Clippers); Danny Granger (Indiana Pacers); Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers); Al Jefferson and Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves); David Lee (New York Knicks); Brook Lopez (New Jersey Nets); Kendrick Perkins (Boston Celtics); Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls), and Gerald Wallace (Charlotte Bobcats).
Duke University's Mike Krzyzewski is head coach, assisted by Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), Mike D'Antoni (Knicks) and Nate McMillan (Trail Blazers).

Hydroptere, Hydroptere 2 - The search is on for partners
'l'Hydroptère DCNS, Alain Thébault and his crew (Yves Parlier, Jean le Cam, Jacques Vincent, Luc Alphand) during the first series of trials on the Med before trying to beat the Pacific crossing record between Los Angeles and Honolulu next summer. La Ciotat in the Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.'

Hydroptere, Alain Thébault's 'flying boat', is seeking partners to finance the Transpacific record attempt this summer and the launch in 2015 of a second generation Hydroptere designed to beat the North Atlantic record.
Since its double world absolute sailing speed record in 2009 (taken over by kitesurfers and recently by the Australian Paul Larsen) Hydroptere changed direction to head towards offshore challenges. 'Since 2009 we were the world fastest Formula 1 of the seas but our initial dream with Eric Tabarly was to test the concept offshore. In 2010, we decided to turn the F1 into a 4x4 of the seas to show that it was also possible to fly over the oceans,' said Alain Thébault, skipper and designer of Hydroptere.
After two seasons of exhibitions and training sessions around Europe, the French trimaran joined California for the first oceanic record attempt last July. As there was no favorable weather, the attempt had to be postponed until spring 2013. 'A setback in the schedule that no longer corresponded to the expectations of our title sponsor. They had no market opportunities in the United States. We are therefore looking for new key sponsors' says Emilie Monthioux, operational manager of the program.
At their level, the official partners of Hydroptere i.e. the innovative SMEs Atheos and Clip Industrie have renewed their confidence in the team, as well as the Champagne house Lanson which strengthened their investment on the boat a few weeks ago. Alain Thébault will attend the boat show in Düsseldorf mid-January. This is an ideal opportunity to announce in Germany, the arrival of a possible first key partner in the program with an important technological support for the research and the building of Hydroptere 2.

'In the nautical world and to the general public, Hydroptere remains an unidentified object. Our passion is to try, to experiment, to go where nobody goes. It is not always easy, but when it works, people say thank you. I like a lot the dreamlike dimension. With the record of the Transpacific, we can open a new chapter in the history of sailing: the one where flying boats, that is to say 100% hydrofoil sailboats will cross the oceans. Our 12 month campaign in 2013, with the Transpacific record attempt and the public relations in San Francisco during the America's Cup, represent a total budget of 2.7 million Euros, half of which in investment. Ideally we would like to gather several key partners, attracted by the same pioneer spirit and for which the American/Asian regions would constitute a field of strategic communication,' explains Alain Thébault.
Hydroptere is currently moored in San Francisco. It will spend the Christmas season in the bay until a first round of funding is gathered to start its winter checking. See you in Düsseldorf mid-January and in California next spring.

Lori Phillips Jones' enthusiasm is infectious.
It is a trait that will serve her well now that she has taken the helm at the Eighth Judicial District Attorney's Office.
Last week marked the beginning of Jones' new appointment.
She became the district attorney general after Paul Phillips retired following 33 years in the position. With two years left in Phillips' term, Jones was chosen by Gov. Bill Haslam to step into the role.
In a sense it is the job Jones has been preparing for since high school.

Some people like to work on perfecting that wings recipe. Others are practicing face painting. Whatever your pre-game ritual may be, we know a lot of people are getting ready for Super Bowl XLVI, one of the biggest party days of the year.
We're expecting a lot of big screens to be fired up for the Big Game, and not just in Vegas. However, a giant TV isn't the only ingredient to a great party. It certainly doesn't hurt, but it's actually the little things that can make that gathering one to remember—and we're not taking about Lit'l Smokies.
Before this weekend's coin toss, take inventory of your home theater setup and consider adding something a little extra. Having the right accessories can make that Super Bowl party, well… super.

$3,700 for a 10" TV built into a beer tap? Holy crap that's expensive.
Maybe it's some kind of new 3-D, as the image appears to extend beyond the borders of the screen….
The woven acoustic screen is now available in a retractable, masking version.
Centralized home control and automation plus boatload of A/V options including dropdown theater screen revitalize 12K-square-foot home.
Should TV manufacturers offer dumbed-down TVs that focus on image quality rather than apps?

Power Source failure
I would warn folks from buying anything Brookstone. The power adaptors on these are very poorly made and the people at Brookstone want them to fail so they can sell you a replacement part. I bought a new boom box from brookstone and the power source failed within several months. Without a plug, they don't work.
Forget Brookstone. The quality of their products is not what it used to be.

The Complete Sherlock Holmes comprises four novels and fifty-six short stories revolving around the worlds most popular and influential fictional detectivethe eccentric, arrogant, and ingenious Sherlock Holmes. He and his trusted friend, Dr. Watson, step from Holmess comfortable quarters at 221b Baker Street into the swirling fog of Victorian London to combine detailed observation and vast knowledge with brilliant deduction. Inevitably, Holmes rescues the innocent, confounds the guilty, and solves the most perplexing puzzles known to literature.
Volume II of The Complete Sherlock Holmes begins with The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, tired of writing about Holmes, had killed him off at the end of The Final Problem, the last tale in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (found in Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes). Public demand for new Holmes stories was so great, however, that Conan Doyle eventually resurrected him. The first story in The Return, The Adventure of the Empty House, features Conan Doyles infamously inventive explanation of how Holmes escaped what seemed like certain death.
This volume also includes two other collections of Holmes stories, His Last Bow and The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes; Conan Doyles final full-length Holmes novel, The Valley of Fear; a pair of parodies, The Field Bazaar and How Watson Learned the Trick; and two essays about the private life of the beloved sleuth.

It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive and who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat. The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many Victorian master criminals.

Any fan of detective fiction knows that there is no substitute in all of literature for a few hours of reading pleasure at 221 B Baker Street. The tobacco in the persian slipper, the piles of monographs and newspaper clippings covering the floor and table, the unanswered correspondence affixed to the mantle with a dagger. What will the next visitor or urgent message bring? Perhaps a request from a mysterious stranger to help prevent "A Scandal in Bohemia." Perhaps Watson will tell us the story, discretely leaving out certain names, of how he and Holmes had to step outside the law to protect a certain royal personage from a blackmailer in "The Case of Charles Augustus Milverton." Or, for a very unusual treat, perhaps Holmes himself, in quiet retirement in Sussex, will tell a tale in his own words as in "The Lion's Mane."
In the more than a century since the publication of the first tale featuring Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet, Arthur Conan Doyle's characters and stories have inspired countless films, plays, pastiches, literary tributes, and tens of thousands of imitations. Now, Oxford is proud to announce The Oxford Sherlock Holmes, the complete works gathered together in nine handsomely bound, meticulously edited volumes. The books themselves are beautiful, and the entire set comes in an attractive display box, perfect for gift-giving.
Beautifully designed, boasting an introduction by a Doyle authority, a chronology, a selected bibliography, and notes, all carefully researched and assembled, this magnificent set will enhance the reading pleasure of readers new to Doyle's work and veterans of Holmsian arcana. A goldmine of reading pleasure, The Oxford Sherlock Holmes is an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in crime fiction. [via]

Sherlock Holmes
The Complete Novels and Stories
Volume I
Since his first appearance in Beetons Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyles classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmess adventures in crime!
Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmess famous seven percent solution and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked-room mystery.
Also included are Holmess feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling The Adventure of the Speckled Band, the baffling riddle of The Musgrave Ritual, and the ingeniously plotted The Five Orange Pips, tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had established his private practice in London but lack of clientele and financial difficulties drove him to bring back his famed investigator. Published in fascicles in the Strand Magazine between 1891 and 1892, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is comprised of 12 short stories that, because of their brevity, imagination and literary skill, are probably Sir Arthur Conan Doyles masterpiece.
Description in Spanish: Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes se publicaron por entregas en el Strand Magazine entre 1891 y 1892. Por aquel entonces Conan Doyle había establecido su consulta en Londres y, obligado por la falta de clientes y los problemas económicos, decidió retomar a su héroe, puesto que éste contaba ya con una legión de admiradores. Estos doce relatos son, por su brevedad, imaginación y habilidad literaria, probablemente la obra maestra de su autor. [via]
