waiting for Grandma
This was Israel this morning, waiting for his Grandma to come in the house from her car.
Can you see that the door is slightly open? He's figured out how to open doors, a scary
new discovery. I love seeing how excited he gets whenever we have visitors and he shows
his happiness in a different way for different people. Whenever he sees my sister he puts
his hands next to his face and clenches his gums...well it's too hard to explain but it's
insanely cute.

Well I"M BLOODY NOT.
I've just seen this thread over on the Mac forum:
If you click on the link that Nichaedemus links to you"ll be directed to this:
And here's the page from my website:
I created that page on the 4th September 2011. EA created theirs on the 24th April this year, 3 days ago.
Nice to see that they still have no clue when it comes to Macs, resorting to copying, pasting and ever so slightly editing, the text from someone else's website.

Why did traxxas decide to go with this direct spur to diff assembly instead of a slipper? Just curious. Very curious. Lol
Oh also, I have my mamba max on its way for repair. When it gets back, I'm trying this thing out with 4s. Also, a fella got a titan 775 to fit in the sl4sh forum with minimal fuss. So I think that means I/we could use that and maybe I could make my 12v dewalt work.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
Et3s is in, unlocked, and waterproofed. Soon I'll put it together, and try this puppy out on 4s.
I'm thinking I'll be back to stock speed, with much more torque. May also try my hv6.5 with and without the gru.
I'm still curious about this slipper in the truck. I believe I'm fathering that it is still a slipper of some sort. Why the different design? The slash slipper drops right in. And the old style flat 32p gears fit right on that slipper design. Any pros or cons to the stock telly slipper? I don't want much slipping, if any.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
Very nice videos.....I have to read on that direct spur assembly, interesting. How will it work on the drive, the strains etc.
Going to the hardware store and try and get the equivalent on mooslick here in Montreal.
Live life to the fullest
I have read of armor all vehicle interior surface protectant working as an alternative .
There is an alternative reviewed here as well. Have you discovered CowRC will not ship to Canada?

Is there such a thing as a 48p 5mm pinion gear?
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
How do the bearing do with that utter butter in them?
RC. an addiction I'm proud of
So far so good.
I spent some time playing in this mess, and wasn't able to do any cleaning until a few days after. I haven't gotten in to the mm bearing yet, but everything else seems fine.
I have a 2250 sensored motor on the way. I'm hoping it can be geared for 30 and still crawl. I'd like to stick with 48p, but I may have to make the switch to 32p. I'm going to do some thinking on waterproofing the hall sensor. It is a GForce motor, and I am unsure if the sensor is made so you can get to it. I know from personal experience that water can fry them. Lol. I have no idea if a water proofer will affect its operation.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
Looks like fun! The reson im asking is beacuse I runing in the snow and iv had 3 bearing seas on me
RC. an addiction I'm proud of
I have had that happen about twice, then I started greasing my bearings. Honestly, just pick up some wheel bearing or marine grease from your local auto parts house or Walmart. I've done that with great success. I got the udder butter because I had a 30$ credit with CowRC I was using up. It's nice, but I think marine grease can do you very well, and no shipping, etc.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
I can get 5oz or marine greas for $10 how many bearing could I fill with 5oz that just doesn't sound like much
I would buy from Amazon.
RC. an addiction I'm proud of
I really couldn't tell you. I buy mine in the grease tubes that go in a grease gun. I can look to see how much is in the CowRC tub. It'll last me forever.
Do you have access to a Walmart, auto zone, advance auto, etc? Walmart sells a tube of their house brand very reasonable, as well as the others I mentioned.
If you do have to order online, might as well go with the udder butter. If price isn't much different (I honestly don't remember). The udder butter is formulated specifically for our application. If I had some local access, though, I would just pick up grease and not worry about it.

What is the ratio of the brushed diffs? I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to gear my new motor and new tires. Scriptasylum doesn't have the brushed diff option preprogrammed in.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
Source: http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=200813
Thank ya much!
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
New shoes and motor! 2.2 cut to fit short course beadlocks. They got a little neater with each trim, but all fit and looked fine in the end. I'm geared 14/54, as that was all I had in 32 pitch that would work. Still only comes out to 27 mph in the calculator on 3s, so it might be a good ratio. I covered the backside bearing with duck tape, and slathered dielectric grease on the sensor connections.
When I split the rear open there was evidence of water inside the rear bulkhead, but it was obvious that the oiled foam protected the diff input bearing, and I'd assume the inside of the diff.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
Gosh... I'd be scared to cut tires like that. I'd probably slip and .......OOPS.
I've also run 2.8s on 3.2 beadlocks...ain't nothin' to it!
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
Boy, a telly that can crawl and go fast is fun . This motor with the mmp is ultra smooth. If it didn't sound different, I'd think it was brushed. It's very fast. I will gear down a bit more if it'll mesh. I was able to slowly crawl stuff with precision, and take off at a good clip and jump stuff and grab wheelies.
I haven't had a chance to go to any really good spots with hard core crawling terrain, but I am hopeful it will perform very well.
I am undecided about how to add weight. Maybe inside the tires or on the rim on the outside, or maybe even just a little bit on the a arms. I have my weight I add behind the front bumper which seems to work well, but I wonder if weight in the tires would work better.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
Love the size of those tires. So did you plug it to sensored set up to run it smoother or as is.
Never heard of that motor, how are you liking it with the small test so far.
Live life to the fullest
Love it! I hadn't either. Someone on URC sold it to me used. It was still in packaging though, I think it was "new but used" lol. I am running it sensored. After plugging in I coated the connftions with dielectric grease. If it becomes a permanent setup I may clean it well and seal the sensor connections with silicone.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
gforce is from valuehobby
I run a gforce battery in my trucks
I know it's made by valuehobby, but that still doesn't tell me anything. Haven't heard of them either . At any rate, so far, it seems nice.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
I just bought one for my stampede 4x4 and its a 4000mah 60c 3s lipo and I have ran 10 runs through it and I'm very happy with how it performs. It was $37 shipped! I got it from http://www.valuehobby.com and it took 4 days shipped to my door. Hope this helps
You bought the g force motor you say? I have two partial runs through it. I didn't put it through its paces yet, but it was faster than this truck had any business going, and low speed grunt was good too. Being a 1/8 motor, I hope the mmp will get along with it when summer comes.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
First time with the body mounted and the 2.2s. These don't seem as grippy as the 1.9s though. I don't know if there is too much foam stuffed in the tire, or if perhaps the 2.2 foams are firmer than the 1.9s. I believe they are both r35 compound.
Anybody have experience with the hpi soft foams vs stock axial foams? Maybe I just need more weight on each tire.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
The weather to enjoy this is upon me .
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
I've dug this bad boy out of the corner of the closet. For some reason I have the crazy idea to pick up some integy front a arms to add some weight down low. Somebody PLEASE talk me out of this! Hahaha
I have some g8 swampers I've had sitting forever in the package I've gotten out and trimmed and am about to install.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
Funny you said that my first metal on the pede was a rear alloy arm from integy...funily it survived lots of crashes, it was stronger then I had anticipated . Offcourse I did not buy other integy stuff but that and my super heavy erevo integy roll cage did very well.
I would not buy any other integy parts because they are quite expensive for my taste , same price as hr when I pass by at my lhs.
Live life to the fullest
Seriously though, does anyone think that some aluminum a arms might help in that respect? I thought about adding some stick on weights to them but the real estate is slim. I have a weight I stick behind the front bumper sometimes that certainly helps.
I'm normally against aluminum a arms, but this thing calculates to run a whopping 23mph or something on 4s, and I generally run on 3s. And of course actual will be less than theoretical.
Plus some blue aluminun would look sweet with the green and blue theme .
I have some blue aluminum rims I want to see if I can make work. They are 2.2s. I want to look at seeing if I can make axle carriers from a 2wd work. Or trim the stockers some. And the rims.
460, straightpipes, buried throttle, nuff said :D
I can vouch for conformal coating! Et 3s here. Connectors for sensors coated in dielectric grease.
And another:

Tooth decay is the primary cause of toothaches for most children and adults. Bacteria that live in your mouth thrive on the sugars and starches in the food you eat. These bacteria form a sticky plaque that clings to the surface of your teeth.
Acids produced by the bacteria in plaque can eat through the hard, white coating on the outside of your teeth (enamel), creating a cavity. The first sign of decay may be a sensation of pain when you eat something sweet, very cold or very hot. Sometimes decay will show as a brown or white spot on the tooth.
Other causes of a toothache can include:
An accumulation of food and debris between your teeth, especially if your teeth have spaces between them
Inflammation or infection at the root of the tooth or in the gums
Trauma to the tooth, including injury or grinding your teeth
Sudden fracture of the tooth or tooth root
A split in the tooth that occurs over time
Teeth that start to appear (erupt) through the gums, such as with teething or wisdom teeth that don't have enough room to emerge or develop normally (impacted wisdom teeth)
A sinus infection that can be felt as pain in the teeth
A toothache often requires some sort of treatment by your dentist.
Self-care tips
Until you can see your dentist, try these self-care tips for a toothache:
Rinse your mouth with warm water.
Use dental floss to remove any food particles or plaque wedged between your teeth.
Consider taking an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever to dull the ache, but don't place aspirin or another painkiller directly against your gums because it may burn your gum tissue.
If the toothache is caused by trauma to the tooth, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek.
Use caution with products containing benzocaine
Previous advice included sparingly applying an OTC antiseptic containing benzocaine directly to the irritated tooth and gum for temporary relief. But benzocaine has been linked to a rare and serious, sometimes deadly, condition called methemoglobinemia, which decreases the amount of oxygen that the blood can carry. So follow these guidelines:
Talk to your dentist or doctor before using an OTC antiseptic containing benzocaine.
Don't use any products that contain benzocaine — such as teething gels with benzocaine (Anbesol, Orabase, Orajel, others) — in children younger than 2 years old.
Never use more than the recommended dose of benzocaine.
Store products containing benzocaine out of the reach of children.
Referred to as molars or molar teeth, these are the flat teeth located at the back of the mouth. They can vary in size and shape but are the largest teeth in the mouth. Molars are rounded and used for grinding food into easily swallowed pieces. The smaller and sharper front teeth are used for biting and tearing food. Molars are designed to sustain great amounts of force from chewing, grinding and clenching, and each molar is anchored to the jaw bone with two to four roots.
The average adult has twelve molars, with six in the upper jaw (identified by your dentist as "maxillary" for their location in the upper jaw) and six in the lower jaw (identified as "mandibular" by the dentist for their location in the lower jaw). Each side of the upper and lower jaw has three molars.
Types of Molars
There are three types of molars. These come in after a child loses their baby teeth:
First molars, also called the six-year molars because they are the first of the three to erupt around age six.
Second molars, also called the twelve-year molars because they erupt around age 12.
Third molars, or wisdom teeth, which appear between the ages of 17 and 25.
Anatomically, molars are designed to sustain great amounts of force from chewing, grinding and clenching, by having a large crown and two to four roots firmly implanted in the jaw bone.
Why Do We Have Wisdom Teeth?
The third molars, or wisdom teeth, are vestiges from our evolutionary past when the human mouth was larger and more accommodating to additional teeth. These additional teeth were useful in chewing especially course foods, such as roots, nuts, leaves and tough meats. This type of diet was tough on the teeth—especially without the helpful maintenance tools we enjoy today like toothbrushes, paste, and floss—so our ancestor's teeth were subject to significant wear and loss due to tooth decay.
Even with the current popularity of "Paleo diets," modern humans do not consume foods that require these extra teeth. Our foods are generally far softer, and with cooking and utensils, the day of the useful wisdom tooth has passed. Evolution, however, has not caught up with us yet, and so we still get those extra teeth late in our youth.
The Problem of Wisdom Teeth
Though it hasn't dumped our wisdom teeth yet, evolution has, unfortunately, made some adjustments to the size of our jawbones throughout our history. The jaws of modern humans are smaller than our ancestors. This presents a range of problems when those vestigial wisdom teeth try to squeeze in.
When wisdom teeth form, they can become blocked by our other teeth, and they're referred to as being "impacted." If a wisdom tooth partially erupts, this can create a hard-to-reach haven for bacteria that can lead to serious infections of the gums and surrounding tissue. Wisdom teeth may also never erupt. This carries with it problems as well, including potential development of cysts or tumors that can do considerable damage to the jawbone and teeth if left unaddressed.
These problems are the reason many people need to have their wisdom teeth removed. It is recommended that this surgery is performed during young adulthood when any complications are least likely and minimal.
For some people, numbering approximately 15 percent of the population, there may be no immediate need to have the wisdom teeth removed because they come in without issues. Even in these cases, it may be recommended that the wisdom teeth be removed to avoid problems that might develop later in life when surgery has more potential for complications and longer healing times.
Toothache is one of the common ailments that occur frequently to individuals of all ages. Tooth pain ranges from mild to severe and can be caused by a wide variety of factors pertaining to oral health and dental decay. The pain hightens during or post the consumption of food items that are either too hot or too cold as the tooth becomes increasingly sensitive to changes in temperature.
In Ayurveda, tooth pains are known as daantshool. Ayurveda can provide an effective remedy to tooth pains both chronic and acute. Ayurvedic treatment provides relief from the pain by dealing with the root cause of the problem in a natural and holistic manner without any side effect. It also eliminates the chances of any relapse.
Some of the most common and effective Ayurvedic remedies for sharp tooth pain are as follows:
Garlic and clove oil: Ayurvedic plants such as garlic and clove are known all over the world for their medicinal properties and healing qualities. Clove oil and garlic can be applied to the affected area of the teeth to ease the pain and improve dental health. This remedy will surely show benefits in the form of stronger teeth that are free of any pain.
Lime and asafoetida: The vitamin C content in citrus fruits is an effective disinfectant that heals teeth which experience sensitivity due to decay and the formation of cavities. Limes can cure sharp tooth pains as well as bleeding gums and loose teeth. A mixture of asafoetida, also known as hing, and lime juice should be slightly heated and applied on the affected for pain relief.
Neem and babool: Extracts of neem and babool are well known for their ability to heal tooth pains and related oral problems. These Ayurvedic herbs are good anti septic disinfectants that remove dental decay and provide relief from pain by healing and strengthening the teeth and gums.
Pepper and rock salt: Pepper, known as maricha in Ayurveda, is highly effective in treating sensitive teeth. When pepper dust is mixed with rock salt and applied on the aching tooth, it alleviates the pain and reduces sensitivity. This mixture will improve oral health and hygiene and it can also be used along with clove oil.
Bayberry bark: The bark of the bayberry tree is a useful Ayurvedic remedy for treating tooth pains. A paste made from the bark and a vinegar base can be applied on the tooth for getting relief from the pain.
Toothache is perhaps one of the most abhorred form of body ache, which can potentially stall the normalcy of our lives to a great extent. Although seemingly non-hazardous, toothache can also lead to severe health implications. The dental health often indexes the condition of the heart and hence, should not be taken lightly. Toothache usually emanate from cavities or gum infection. While there are multiple cures for the same, these are the types of ailments, which are laden with the risk of relapse. The last minute rush to the dentist may buy temporary relieve from the excruciating pain, but what you should actually look for is a more holistic and sustained cure. Homeopathy brings all the benefits of natural herbs and traditional condiments to ensure your well-being and provide substantial relief from the menace that toothache can be. Some of the most reliable cures have been listed below.
Merc Sol: This is a very beneficial remedy for toothaches which are accompanied by increased salivation and swelling in the gum. This brings additional warmth to the gums which largely mitigate the pain.
Coffea: Coffea functions as an effective adjuvant to cold water in decreasing toothaches. It works best on increased sensitivity and irritability and cures them both to a large extent.
Sepia: Sometimes excessive intake of sweets leaves a bitter aftertaste in one's mouth, resulting in unbearable toothaches. The ringing pain often spreads to the ears and the gums also get swollen. Sepia sufficiently pacifies such agitation.
Kreosote: Kreosote relieves those extreme kinds of toothache which reach up to the temples and induce sleeplessness in the patient. It also cures ulcerated gums.
Mezereum: Mezereum purifies dental health from its very roots. It reduces toothache from spreading and stalls the decay at the very roots. Mezereum soothes acute sensitivity and a constant ringing sensation in the temples and the ears of the patient.
There are various other drugs also which are of immense benefit in toothache and also for the cutting of wisdom tooth.

US eyes Big Brother plan
BBC Washington correspondent Justin Webb reports on a Pentagon project looking into ways of monitoring everything everyone does, as part of its war against terror.
The premise might seem far-fetched but it could be closer than we think.
In the Pentagon in Washington, a team is working on plans to collect as much information about every single aspect of everyone in America as they can.
This includes everything from doctor's records to bank deposits, e-mail to travel tickets, phone conversations to magazine subscriptions.
The reason, according to the Under Secretary of Defense Pete Aldridge, is to catch people intending to carry out terrorist crimes.
"The bottom line is that this is an important research project to determine the feasibility of using certain transactions and events to discover and respond to terrorists before they act."
Willing public
Backers of the project, known as Total Information Awareness, admit that it sounds Orwellian.
He says that it would only take one more terrorist attack and public support is assured.
"At that point there will not only be a willingness to submit to those sorts of infringement but a demand that they be infringed upon in the hope of trying to protect us.
"If there were no war on terror, this is not something that we would want to do."
Not everyone though is convinced, particularly since the man heading the Pentagon team has a dubious past.
Hi-tech doubts
Total Information Awareness is the baby of Admiral John Poindexter.
Most opponents, though, focus on the wider question of what Admiral Poindexter is trying to achieve and how likely it is to fail.
Mark Rotenberg monitors government attempts at surveillance and snooping. He believes hi-tech solutions are often the ones with the highest rate of failure.
"This is a technology-intensive approach that assumes if you have enough data you can produce clear conclusions," he said.
"We went through a period of time recently in Washington with the sniper attacks when everyone was looking for a white truck.
"We could have had a computer database running profiles of every white truck owner in the country to try to decide which of them was the sniper. In fact, the answer was that none of them were."
The white van was found to be a false lead in the infamous Washington sniper case.
In the film Minority Report things go horribly wrong with the system.
Many in Washington are predicting that this real-life scheme, if it ever got off the ground, would lead to hi-tech chaos and failure.

CULTURE- ART FEATURE- It's all relative: With families like these, who needs...
Publicity photo
In the Talking Heads' "Sax and Violins," David Byrne sings, "Mom & Pop, They will f*ck you up. For sure." This weekend's "Kin Flicks"-themed Virginia Film Festival will, no doubt, provide numerous celluloid expressions of that sentiment. Several of the scheduled films, however, such as those of Su Friedrich and Brent Green, take dysfunction and turn it into art.
Like the yin to last week's column's yang– Alan Berliner's father-focused Nobody's Business– Su Friedrich's The Ties that Bind uses similar components– home movies, still photographs, and symbolic imagery– to tell the story of her mother, Lore Bucher, a woman who lived through the Nazi regime in Germany before marrying an American soldier and immigrating to the U.S. But Friedrich's 55-minute film is more abstract in its visuals than Berliner's, and she purposely avoids using that staple of biographical documentaries, the talking head.
Instead, we see frames of Friedrich's mother's gestures or other footage– sometimes clearly related, other times not so much– accompanying a soundtrack of her mother's recollections. Friedrich, somewhat disingenuously, removes her own voice from the picture, instead scratching narration and the questions she asks her mother onto the film itself, so it annoyingly flickers by one word at a time). That distraction aside, this 1984 film's harrowing story of life during wartime and under subsequent American occupation is particularly relevant today.
Friedrich's 1990 Sink or Swim picks up almost where The Ties that Bind leaves off, examining the filmmaker's troubled relationship with her father, a famed linguistic anthropologist who abandoned her family in the early 1960s. More polished and formally structured, Sink or Swim is arranged into 26 expressionistic chapters, subversively moving from Z-A, that use the same visual tactics to explore Friedrich's childhood memories. Again, the filmmaker absents herself from the film, resorting to a third-person narration of Greek myths and fairytale-like personal stories, read in voiceover by a young girl.
Moving farther away from standard filmmaking and even deeper into dark dysfunction, Brent Green's presentation of stop-motion animated shorts, crafted from his nightmarish sculptures and drawings and accompanied by frenetic poetic narration and live music, is a festival must-see. Green 's website, nervousfilms.com, promises the Gravity Lounge event will be "an entire hour spent on the verge of collapse."
No matter what dysfunction they explore, both Friedrich and Grant capture another family fact that completes the Talking Heads lyric: "Love so deep, kills you in your sleep. It's true."
Su Friedrich screens and discusses The Ties that Bind on November 2 at 1pm at Vinegar Hill Theatre, where she also presents Sink or Swim on November 3 at 10am. Brent Green brings his one-of-kind show of animated films and live music to the Gravity Lounge November 2 at 7pm. 800-882-3378. vafilm.com.

Europe's southernmost city
Situated 35km away NE from Agios Nikolaos, the largest city of Lassithi lies next to a fertile valley, where the conspicuous ancient city of Ierapytna used to stand.
With the glory of the southernmost city of Europe that faces the African coast in a mild climate, hardly ever will Ierapetra see temperature go below 12°C. It is well justified to claim to be the most sun-kissed holiday spot in the Old Continent. Enchanting for its history, gorgeous for its natural beauty, ideal for day trips to mountainous and seaside villages alike, Ierapetra is well developed to meet the needs and preference of all.
Strolling around
Whether you pick the peaceful cobbled streets of the old city in Kato Mera or the busier seafront, you are no doubt going to relish a walk in the charm of genuine Cretan sounds, smells, tastes, coulours; handmade artifacts from outdoors workshops make marvellous souvenirs.
Sightseeing won't be complete until you have called at:
Beaches for an Oscar
Apart from the Blue Flags the city's beaches are presented with every year, Ierapetra has been awarded again in 2012 with a Gold Medal from the Quality Coast Association.
If you leave the city heading East or West, you'll cross a huge coastline forming an endless chain of sea arms with crystal clear waters.
Beyond doubt, the winning card of Ierapetra for a beach experience is the volcanic little island of Chryssi, which will take your breath away with its stunning natural beauty. Get to it by boat on a day trip and feel the sensation. A short one-hour sail to the area of Vougiou Mati will take you to a string of more or less secluded coves, pristine beaches and sand dunes with gold and white sand, turquoise crystal clear waters, but also acres and acres of forests of rare cedar trees.

Criterion has been reduced to a team of just 16 people, creative director Alex Ward has revealed, with the 60-65 Criterion staff currently working on Need For Speed: Rivals now working under the umbrella of Ghost Games.
In a series of tweets, Ward explained that Criterion is "a small team now", with the majority of the studio forming part of a team called Ghost Games UK.
The team remaining at Criterion is thought to now be known as 'Criterion Zero'.
It was announced last month that Ghost Games had taken ownership of the Need For Speed IP, and will be leading development on all future games in the series.
Its first Need For Speed, Need For Speed: Rivals, launches on current & next-gen consoles and PC this November.
Criterion, who has previously developed Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit and last year's Need For Speed: Most Wanted, is currently working on a secret project.
The title is not related to Need For Speed.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 15, 2009) - The ETSU volleyball team saw its rally come up short as the Bucs fell to Chattanooga Tuesday night at Brooks Gym, 3-1 (22-25, 20-25, 25-23, 23-25).
"I am disappointed with the loss tonight," said head coach Lindsey Devine. "It is tough to play a former Southern Conference rival and lose to them twice in the year. Coach Rhodes does a good job of keeping her squad scrappy and disciplined for the entire match. We need to understand that we can't wait till the game is on the line to make a move."
Junior Whitney Cogburn (Kingsport, Tenn.) picked up her second double-double of the season as she had 12 kills and ten digs in the match. Erin Ryan (Davie, Fla.) also had a good night offensively posting 12 kills.
Amanda Youell (Middleburg, Fla.) ran the ETSU offense tallying 44 assists and six digs, while Lauren Baufield (Plymouth, Minn.) had a good all-around night with eight kills and 12 digs.
"Every time we step out on the court the coaches learn more and more about the individuals on this team," Devine said. "Once we have one team of six girls playing together on the court we are going to make a breakthrough and pull out some wins."
In the first set, after falling behind 6-3 the Bucs won seven-straight points to take a 10-6 lead. The Lady Mocs chipped away at the ETSU lead going on a 6-3 run to tie the set at 19-all. With the score tied 21-21, Chattanooga went out in front on a kill by Laura Brock. The Lady Mocks closed out the set 25-22 on a kill from Courtney Barnes.
Chattanooga jumped out to a 7-3 lead in the second set after a couple errors by the Bucs. ETSU cut the Lady Mocs lead to 13-10, but that was as close as the Bucs could get in the set. The Lady Mocs took the second set 25-20 on a service ace by Stephanie Harville to go up 2-0 at the break.
The third set was tight until Chattanooga won three-straight points to take a 20-17 advantage. With the Bucs down 22-19, ETSU went on a 6-1 run to take the third set 25-23. Ryan led the way for the Bucs with four kills in the set.
The Lady Mocs answered jumping out to a 7-3 advantage in the fourth set. ETSU battled back using a 6-0 run to even the set at 11-all. Play went back and forth as there were seven ties and two lead changes late in the set. The Lady Mocs got a big kill from Brock to break a 23-all tie, and closed out the match on an ETSU attack error to win the set 25-23.
ETSU (3-7, 2-1 A-Sun) is back in action Friday at 7 p.m. as the Bucs head to Kennesaw, Ga. to take on Kennesaw State. For more information on Buccaneer volleyball and all other athletic news, please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

The Citadel
The Citadel presents the most dramatic feature of Cairo's skyline: a centuries-old bastion crowned by the needle-like minarets of the great Mosque of Mohammed Ali. The complex was begun by Saladin, the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty, the Crusaders' chivalrous foe. Saladin's reign (1171–93) saw much fortification of the city, though it was his nephew, Al-Kamil (ruled 1218–38), who developed the Citadel as a royal residence.
The main features of the Citadel as it is today, however, are associated with Mohammed Ali, a worthy successor to the Mamlukes and Turks. In 1811 he feasted with 470 leading Mamlukes in the Citadel palace, bade them farewell with honours, then had them ambushed in the sloping lane behind the Bab al-Azab, the locked gate (now closed to the public) opposite the Akhur Mosque. An oil painting in the Manial Palace on Roda Island depicts the apocryphal tale of a Mamluke who escaped by leaping the walls on his horse; in reality he survived by not attending the feast.
The Citadel remained the residence of Egypt's rulers for nearly seven hundred years. Mohammed Ali prophesied that his descendants would rule supreme as long as they resided here, and his grandson Ismail's move to the Abdin Palace did indeed foreshadow an inexorable decline in their power.
On entering the Citadel, keep the wall to your right and follow it round into the southern courtyard of the southern enclosure, whose buildings include the former Mint (currently closed). A passage from the courtyard's north side leads through to the central courtyard; to the left of this passage, stairs lead up to the back of the Citadel's most dominant structure, the Mohammed Ali Mosque.
Mohammed Ali Mosque
The Turkish-style Mohammed Ali Mosque, which so ennobles Cairo's skyline, disappoints at close quarters: its domes are sheathed in tin, its alabaster surfaces grubby. Nonetheless, it exudes folie de grandeur, starting with the ornate clock given by the French king Louis Philippe (in exchange for the obelisk in the Place de la Concorde, Paris), which has never worked; and the Turkish Baroque ablutions fountain, resembling a giant Easter egg. Inside the mosque, whose lofty dome and semi-domes are decorated like a Fabergé egg, the use of space is classically Ottoman, reminiscent of the great mosques of Istanbul. A constellation of chandeliers and globe lamps illuminates Thuluth inscriptions, a gold-scalloped mihrab and two minbars, one faced in alabaster, the other strangely Art Nouveau. Mohammed Ali is buried beneath a white marble cenotaph, behind a bronze grille on the right of the entrance. The mosque itself was erected between 1824 and 1848, but the domes had to be demolished and rebuilt in the 1930s.

When Veron of Veronica's Test Kitchen and Patricia of Technicolor Kitchen announced that the recipe for this month's Daring Baker challenge was a Milk Chocolate and Caramel Tart, my thoughts went something like this: Yay, there's chocolate! Boo, it's milk chocolate, no dark. Yay, there's caramel, I love the taste of caramel! Boo, I hate making caramel, it always tries to attack me and my kitchen. Yay, I have a family reunion coming up that I can bake this tart for! Boo, I have to work that day so I'm going to have to send the tart with my parents for everyone to devour but me. Yay, it's sunny outside! Boo, there's something sticky on the bottom of my foot, ew, what is that? Yay, I like the colour blue. Boo, I distract easily and have no clue where I was going with this.
Anyways, I made this tart without too much sweat and without dropping any curse words either, which generally isn't the case with a Daring Baker Challenge. I had no trouble rolling out the crust, but I heard the crust drove some of the other Bakers to the brink of insanity, or as close to the brink as a failed crust can drive someone. The caramel process went smoothly, quite the opposite of most of my caramel making ventures, I didn't even scald myself with the hot sugar like normal. The chocolate mousse was apparently without incident because all I can remember about making it was licking the bowl. And yet, despite the relative ease with which it was made, I wasn't overly impressed with the end result. I made two tarts, one regular sized that was shipped off to my family reunion and one baby tart that I kept for myself. I only tasted the baby and I don't think this tart worked well in the mini version. There was too much crust and not enough filling. And the filling was what this tart was all about. It claimed to have a chocolate crust, but with a measly 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder in the crust, it was hardly chocolately. With such an uninspired crust I should have known all along not to make a little tart that was dominated by crust.
This just proves my 'Go Big or Go Home' theory because from what I've been told by those who sampled it, the results of the large tart were quite fantastic. Although I didn't get to witness this myself, Mom tells me they were lined up for a slice of tart and there wasn't a crumb left on the plate. You'll have to take this with a grain of salt though as Mom has a tendency to exaggerate, and by exaggerate, I mean she makes stuff up. I often tell her I'd rather be criticized than receive false praise, but I don't think she believes me because even when I make something I don't like, she still tries to tell me it's great. And then I feel like bashing my head into a wall out of frustration. I almost want to feed her something that's purposefully bad, that's simultaneously too salty, sour, sweet and hot all at once just to hear how she'll try to describe what she thought of it without offending me...
Don't forget to check out all of the other Daring Bakers' posts, links can be found from the DB Blogroll and the original recipe will be posted on either Veronica's or Patricia's blogs.

5 Get Started
5.1 Essentials You Need
Before starting to use your NanoPi Fire3 get the following items ready
- NanoPi Fire3
- SD Card: Class 10 or Above, minimum 8GB SDHC
- A DC 5V/2A power is a must
- HDMI monitor or LCD
- USB keyboard, mouse and possible a USB hub(or a TTL to serial board)
- A host computer running Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit system
5.2 Make an Installation SD Card
5.2.1 Boot NanoPi Fire3 from SD Card
Get the following files from here to download necessary files:
- Get a 8G SDHC card and backup its data if necessary
Image Files: s5p6818-debian-sd4g-YYYYMMDD.img Debian image files s5p6818-android-sd4g-YYYYMMDD.img Android image files s5p6818-FriendlyCore-Xenial-4.4-YYYYMMDD.img Ubuntu Core + QT image files Flash Utility: win32diskimager.rar Windows utility. Under Linux users can use "dd"
- Uncompress these files. Insert an SD card(at least 8G) into a Windows PC and run the win32diskimager utility as administrator. On the utility's main window select your SD card's drive, the wanted image file and click on "write" to start flashing the SD card.
- Insert this card into your NanoPi Fire3's boot slot, press and hold the boot key and power on (with a 5V/2A power source). If the PWR LED is on and LED1 is blinking this indicates your NanoPi Fire3 has successfully booted.
5.2.2 Make Installation Card under Linux Desktop
- 1) Insert your SD card into a host computer running Ubuntu and check your SD card's device name
dmesg | tail
Search the messages output by "dmesg" for similar words like "sdc: sdc1 sdc2". If you can find them it means your SD card has been recognized as "/dev/sdc". Or you can check that by commanding "cat /proc/partitions"
- 2) Downlaod Linux script
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/sd-fuse_s5p6818.git cd sd-fuse_s5p6818
- 3) Make Android SD Card
su ./fusing.sh /dev/sdx
(Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system)
When you run the script for the first time it will prompt you to download an image you have to hit "Y" within 10 seconds otherwise you will miss the download
- 4) Here is how to make a Debian SD card
./fusing.sh /dev/sdx debian
5.2.3 Extend NanoPi Fire3's SD Card Section
- When Debian/Ubuntu is loaded the SD card's section will be automatically extended.
- When Android is loaded you need to run the following commands on your host PC to extend your SD card's section:
sudo umount /dev/sdx? sudo parted /dev/sdx unit % resizepart 4 100 resizepart 7 100 unit MB print sudo resize2fs -f /dev/sdx7
(Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system)
5.2.4 LCD/HDMI Resolution
When the system boots our uboot will check whether it is connected to an LCD or to an HDMI monitor. If it recognizes an LCD it will configure its resolution. Our uboot defaults to the HDMI 720P configuration.
If you want to modify the LCD resolution you can modify file "arch/arm/plat-s5p6818/nanopi3/lcds.c" in the kernel and recompile it.
If your NanoPi Fire3 is connected to an HDMI monitor and it runs Android it will automatically set the resolution to an appropriate HDMI mode by checking the "EDID". If your NanoPi Fire3 is connected to an HDMI monitor and it runs Debian by default it will set the resolution to the HDMI 720P configuration. If you want to modify the HDMI resolution to 1080P modify your kernel's configuration as explained above.
5.3 Update Image Files in SD Card From PC Host
If you want to make some changes to the image files in your SD card follow the steps below otherwise you can skip this section.
Insert your SD card into a host PC running Linux, mount the boot and rootfs sections of the SD card and follow the steps below:
1) If you want to change your kernel command line parameters you can do it via the fw_setevn utility under "sd-fuse_s5p6818/tools". Check the current Command Line:
cd sd-fuse_s5p6818/tools ./fw_printenv /dev/sdc | grep bootargs
Android 5.1.1_r6 starts SELinux. By default it is enforcing. You can change it this way:
./fw_setenv /dev/sdc bootargs XXX androidboot.selinux=permissive
This sets it to "permissive". The "XXX" stands for the original bootargs' value.
2) Update Kernel
Our customized uboot will check the LCD type when it boots.
For Android it doesn't make any difference which display device is detected. You can use your generated uImage to replace the existing one under "boot".
For Debian if your generated kernel is for an LCD you need to replace the existing uImage or if your kernel is for an HDMI monitor you need to replace the existing uImage.hdmi.
5.4 Run Android or Debian
- Insert an SD card with Android/Debian image file into your NanoPi Fire3, connect the board to an HDMI monitor, press and hold the boot key, power on the board the NanoPi Fire3 will boot from the SD card. If you can see the PWR LED on and the LED1 flashing it means your board is working and you will see Android/Debain being loaded on the HDMI monitor.
1) If you connect the NanoPi Fire3 to an HDMI monitor you need to use a USB mouse and a USB keyboard to operate. If you connect it to an LCD with capacitive touch you can operate directly on the LCD.
2)If you want to do kernel development you need to use a serial communication board, ie a PSU-ONECOM board, which will allow you to operate the board via a serial terminal
- Here is a setup where we connect a NanoPi Fire3 to a PC running Ubuntu and Minicom via a serial cable you will see system messages output to the PC's minicom terminal:
- Under Debian the password for "root" is "fa"
6 Working with Debian
6.1 Ethernet Connection
- If the NanoPi Fire3 is connected to a network via Ethernet before it is powered on, it will automatically obtain an IP after it is powered up.
6.2 Install Debian Packages
We provide a Debian Jessie image. You can install Jessie's packages by commanding "apt-get". If this is your first installation you need to update the package list by running the following command
apt-get update
You can install your preferred packages. For example if you want to install an FTP server you can do this:
apt-get install vsftpd
Note: you can change your download server by editting "/etc/apt/sources.list". You can get a complete server list from [1]. You need to select the one with "armhf".
7 FriendlyCore
7.1 Introduction
Ubuntu Core with Qt-Embedded is a light Linux system without X-windows. It uses the Qt-Embedded's GUI and is popular in industrial and enterprise applications.
Besides the regular Ubuntu core's features our Ubuntu-Core has the following additional features:
- it supports our LCDs with both capacitive touch and resistive touch(S700, X710, S70)
- it supports WiFi
- it supports Ethernet
- it supports Bluetooth and has been installed with bluez utilities
- it supports audio playing
8 Make Your Own OS Image
8.1 Install Cross Compiler
Download the compiler package:
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/prebuilts.git sudo mkdir -p /opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain sudo tar xf prebuilts/gcc-x64/arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf-4.9.3.tar.xz -C /opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/
Then add the compiler's directory to "PATH" by appending the following lines in "~/.bashrc":
export PATH=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3/bin:$PATH export GCC_COLORS=auto
Execute "~/.bashrc" to make the changes take effect. Note that there is a space after the first ".":
. ~/.bashrc
This compiler is a 64-bit one therefore it cannot be run on a 32-bit Linux machine. After the compiler is installed you can verify it by running the following commands:
arm-linux-gcc -v Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=arm-linux-gcc COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3/libexec/gcc/arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf/4.9.3/lto-wrapper Target: arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf Configured with: /work/toolchain/build/src/gcc-4.9.3/configure --build=x86_64-build_pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-build_pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3 --with-sysroot=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3/arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf/sys-root --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-arch=armv7-a --with-tune=cortex-a9 --with-fpu=vfpv3 --with-float=hard ... Thread model: posix gcc version 4.9.3 (ctng-1.21.0-229g-FA)
8.2 Compile U-Boot
Download the U-Boot source code and compile it. Note that the github's branch is nanopi2-lollipop-mr1:
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/uboot_nanopi2.git cd uboot_nanopi2 git checkout nanopi2-lollipop-mr1 make s5p6818_nanopi3_config make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
After your compilation succeeds a u-boot.bin will be generated. If you want to test it flash it to your installation SD card via fastboot. Here is how you can do it:
1) On your host PC run "sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot" to install the fastboot utility;
2) Connect your NanoPi Fire3 to your host PC via a serial cable (e.g. PSU-ONECOME). Press the enter key within two seconds right after you power on your NanoPi Fire3 and you will enter uboot's command line mode;
3) After type in "fastboot" and press "enter" you will enter the fastboot mode;
4) Connect your NanoPi Fire3 to this host PC via a microUSB cable and type in the following command to flash u-boot.bin:
fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin
Warning: you cannot update this SD card by commanding "dd". This command will cause trouble when booting the NanoPi Fire3.
8.3 Prepare mkimage
You need the mkimage utility to compile a U-Boot source code package. Make sure this utility works well on your host before you start compiling a uImage.
You can install this utility by either commanding "sudo apt-get install u-boot-tools" or following the commands below:
cd uboot_nanopi2 make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- tools sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin && sudo cp -v tools/mkimage /usr/local/sbin
8.4 Compile Linux Kernel
8.4.1 Compile Kernel
- Download Kernel Source Code
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y.git cd linux-3.4.y git checkout nanopi2-lollipop-mr1
The NanoPC-T3's kernel source code lies in the "nanopi2-lollipop-mr1" branch.
- Compile Android Kernel
make nanopi3_android_defconfig touch .scmversion make uImage
- Compile Debian Kernel
make nanopi3_linux_defconfig touch .scmversion make uImage
After your compilation succeeds a uImage will be generated in the "arch/arm/boot/uImage" directory. This kernel is for LCD output. You can use it to replace the existing uImage.
If you want to generate a kernel for HDMI output you need to run nanopi3_linux_hdmi_defconfig and do it this way:
make nanopi3_linux_hdmi_defconfig touch .scmversion make menuconfig
After your compilation succeeds a uImage will be generated for HDMI 720P. If you want a uImage for 1080P you can do it this way:
touch .scmversion make nanopi3_linux_hdmi_defconfig make menuconfig Device Drivers --> Graphics support --> Nexell Graphics --> [ ] LCD [*] HDMI (0) Display In [0=Display 0, 1=Display 1] Resolution (1920 * 1080p) ---> make uImage
After your compilation succeeds a uImage will be generated for HDMI 1080P. You can use it to replace the existing uImage.hdmi.
- Compile Kernel for Ubuntu Core
The steps here are nearly the same as the steps for compiling a Debian kernel:
LCD Output:
make nanopi3_core-qt_defconfig
HDMI Output:
make nanopi3_core-qt_hdmi_defconfig
Select your configuration file and run the following commands to generate a uImage.
touch .scmversion make uImage
8.4.2 Use Your Generated Kernel
- Update the kernel file in SD card
If you use an SD card to boot Android you can copy your generated uImage file to your SD card's boot section(e.g. section 1 /dev/sdX1).
If you use an SD card to Debian and you generated a uImage for an HDMI monitor you can use that uImage to replace the uImage.hdmi file in the SD card's boot section. If you use an SD card to Debian and you generated a uImage for an LCD you can use that uImage to replace the uImage file in the SD card's boot section.
- Update Android kernel file in eMMC
If you want to update the kernel file in eMMC you need firstly boot your board, then mount eMMC's boot section, replace the boot section's kernel file with your generated one and reboot your board to make your new kernel run.
If you boot your board from eMMC you can update your kernel file by following the steps below:
1) After Android is loaded mount eMMC's boot section (in our example eMMC's device name was /dev/mmcblk0p1) by using the following commands:
su mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/
2) Connect your board to a host PC running Ubuntu and copy the uImage file to eMMC's boot section by running the following commands;
adb push uImage /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/
3) Or you can copy your generated kernel file to an external storage card(e.g. an SD card or a USB drive), connect the storage card to your board the move the file from the card to eMMC's boot section;
4) After update is done type in "reboot" to reload Android. Note don't directly power off and on the board or press the reset button to reboot the board. These two actions will damage your kernel file.
- Update Debian kernel file in eMMC
If you boot your board from eMMC you can update your kernel file by following the steps below:
1) When Debian is being loaded eMMC's boot section will be automatically mounted(in our example eMMC's device name was /dev/mmcblk0p1). You can use "mount" to verify that;
2) Connect your board to a host PC via Ethernet and copy your generated uImage file via scp/ftp to eMMC's boot section and replace the existing file. If your file is for an LCD use your uImage file to replace the existing uImage. If your file is for an HDMI monitor use your uImage.hdmi file to replace the existing uImage.hdmi file;
3) Or you can copy your generated kernel file to an external storage card(e.g. an SD card or a USB drive), connect the storage card to your board the move the file from the card to eMMC's boot section;
4) After update is done type in "reboot" to reload Debian. Note don't directly power off and on the board or press the reset button to reboot the board. These two actions will damage your kernel file
- Generate Your boot.img
If you want to generate an image file that can be flashed to eMMC you need to generate a boot.img file and copy it to your installation SD card.
For Android copy the uImage file to Android source code's "device/friendly-arm/nanopi3/boot/" directory and compile this whole Android source code. After your compilation is successful you will get a boot.img file.
For Debian follow the steps below to generate a boot.img file:
1) Download debian_nanopi2
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/debian_nanopi2.git
2) Copy the image file for an HDMI monitor and use it to replace the "debian_nanopi2/boot/uImage.hdmi" file and copy the image file for an LCD and use it to replace the "debian_nanopi2/boot/uImage" file;
3) Generate Debian's boot.img
cd debian_nanopi2 mkdir rootfs ./build.sh
A newly generated boot.img will be under the "debian_nanopi2/sd-fuse_nanopi2/debian" directory.
The "mkdir rootfs" command creates a working directory for the build.sh script to run. It also creates some files such as "rootfs.img" but these files are useless.
8.4.3 Compile Kernel Modules
Android contains kernel modules which are in the "/lib/modules" directory in the system section. If you want to add your own modules to the kernel or you changed your kernel configurations you need to recompile these new modules.
Compile Original Kernel Modules:
cd linux-3.4.y make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- modules
Here we have two new modules and we can compile them by following the commands below:
cd /opt/FriendlyARM/s5p6818/android ./vendor/friendly-arm/build/common/build-modules.sh
The "/opt/FriendlyARM/s5p6818/android" directory points to the top directory of Android source code. You can get more details by specifying option "-h".
After your compilation succeeds new modules will be generated
8.5 Compile Android
- Install Cross Compiler
Install 64 bit Ubuntu 16.04 on your host PC.
sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make python-networkx zip sudo apt-get install flex libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev gawk minicom
For more details refer to https://source.android.com/source/initializing.html 。
- Download Source Code
You need to use repo to get the Android source code. Refer to https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html 。
mkdir android && cd android repo init -u https://github.com/friendlyarm/android_manifest.git -b nanopi3-lollipop-mr1 repo sync
The "android" directory is the working directory.
- Compile System Package
source build/envsetup.sh lunch aosp_nanopi3-userdebug make -j8
After your compilation succeeds an image will be generated in the "out/target/product/nanopi3/" directory.
filename partition Description boot.img boot - cache.img cache - userdata.img userdata - system.img system - partmap.txt - partition file
- Flash Image to SD Card
If you want to boot your board from an SD card you need to copy your generated image file to the "sd-fuse_s5p6818 /android/" directory and flash it to your SD card with our script. For more details refer to # Make an Installation SD Card under Linux Desktop。

A truck carrying 8,000 gallons of printer ink flipped over on an interstate in Peabody, Massachusetts this morning, resulting in what must be the most colorful car crash in history. No one was injured, so feel free to enjoy the aftermath with child-like glee.
The photo above, snapped by Winslow Townson for The Boston Globe, shows the technicolor scene resulting from the spill.
Joe Ferson, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, confirmed that 16,000 pounds of red, blue, and yellow ink cartridges from an Indianapolis-based printing company were involved in the crash, though thankfully, the Globe reports, "Ferson said there is no evidence the yellow ink was released." After my investigation of the relavent photographs, however, I must dispute his claim.
Clean-up crews were quick to respond to the scene, soaking up the rivers of ink with sand, though some sections of the ramp will reportedly require repaving—is the driver responsible for what must be like $30 gazillion dollars ink cartridges?—and some of the ink has already seeped into nearby storm drains. It isn't considered an environmental hazard, but state environmental officials are nevertheless on-site overseeing the cleanup.
The on-ramp is expected to remain closed throughout the evening. Meanwhile, at an office somewhere in America, toner is presumably running very low. [Boston Globe, Image: Winslow Townson]

In the calculation of life cycle cost, the initial cost of a pumping system covers all the equipment and accessories needed to operate the system.
Initial costs include the purchase of:
- Pumps
- Frequency converters
- Control panels
- Transmitters
The initial costs may conceal the real cost of an installation over its lifetime.
There are certain trade-offs that should be seen in this context. For instance, a speed-controlled pump system may use considerably less energy compared to a cheaper constant-speed system. Over its lifetime the energy saving can more than offset the higher initial cost.
The graph compares the initial cost of a constant-speed pump system (system 1) with a speed-controlled pump system (system 2). The higher initial cost of a speed-controlled pump is often offset by lower operating costs.

An American Martyr for Kenya
Father John Kaiser's Witness for Human Rights and an African Constitutional Vote
I write this column with mixed emotions. With the vote yesterday on a new constitution that would decriminalize child-killing and enshrine bigotry, the beautiful and faith-filled people of Kenya face yet another deadly blow from their government and ours. My first emotion is one of dread.
My cousin, Father John Kaiser, was assassinated by the Kenyan government in 2000 for supporting the rights of Kenya's marginalized poor. He loved the Kenyan people and was martyred while trying to protect them and advocate on their behalf in the face of a violent, corrupt and greedy government. This impending pro-abortion constitution would have grieved him greatly.
Until now, Kenya's laws, despite the corruption of the government, have respected the right to life of every human person. Unborn human beings have always been protected as equal persons.
But now, my government and my president are spending $23 million to lobby the starving Kenyan people, tempting them with promises of aid and food, in an effort to impose our way of life, our disdain for unborn children, on a culture that historically welcomes children and family as an unmitigated gift.
The pro-abortion Obama administration knows money talks with politicians, and it is happy to keep Kenyans in the dark about the horror this will bring. Decriminalized homicide has devastated first-world countries.
Cultural commentators have long spoken of the rise of the Western world's "walking wounded": those millions negatively impacted by materialism and the sexual revolution. Father John saw this on his visits back to the United States. He couldn't wait to get back to Kenya.
Are we so eager to see our fate played out in Kenya? Americans have witnessed the collapse of the family, the skyrocketing divorce rate, exploding teen suicide and pregnancy rates, and the increasing prevelance of sexually transmitted diseases. Here, heartbreak is the norm.
America is once again engaged in the enslavement of Africans, denying their personhood and putting a price on their heads.
This constitution didn't come out of the abyss. I was hardly surprised when I first heard about it many months ago. I have heard of the plight of the Kenyan people my whole life.
Father John, the man who brought my mother home to the Church simply by loving her and handing her a book by G.K. Chesterton, was a Mill Hill missionary priest there for 36 years.
When he came home every few years to renew his visa and visit family, I would get to see the man behind the letters. Always writing of his people, the Kiisi, then the Kikuyu at Maela refugee camp and, later, the Massai, Father John grew his love for these people in us.
He publicly advocated for them in the face of the tyrannical Kenyan government. Specifically, he testified against President Daniel arap Moi and a member of his inner circle, Julius Sunkuli. Father John said that Moi and his wife were behind the government instigation of tribal warfare that was devastating the tribes to whom Father Kaiser was a missionary. He also testified in court accusing Sunkuli of raping and impregnating young girls in Father John's parish.
In representing his parishioners, Father John fought for the rights of all people, apolitically. He lived the life of a missionary priest, not succumbing to the oft-held misnomer that "poverty" refers only to monetarily impoverished people. He seamlessly ministered to all people who cannot speak for themselves, whether they are marginalized Kenyans or marginalized unborn children.
While home, Father John would speak to his sister of the shameful way that America was bankrolling the imposition of the culture of death in Kenya. The outsourcing of contraception and abortion on this burgeoning Christian culture scandalized him and threatened his flock.
During those brief visits in the U.S., Father Kaiser would also speak around the country on behalf of Father Paul Marx and Human Life International, an international pro-life missionary organization. His life's witness spoke to the truth of the Catholic faith: that advocating for the personhood of all, especially the innocent unborn, is intrinsically tied up in the call for social justice.
In the 1990s, his trips home were more tasking, as he witnessed Americans increasingly seduced by materialism and the contraceptive mentality. From Africa, his letters grew more worrisome, telling us of the dangers he was facing in retribution for his outspoken advocacy for the rights of the abused and oppressed.
In August of 2000, when he was months away from testifying in front of the World Court, Father John was executed with a shotgun to the back of his head, his body left on the side of a rural road in Naivasha.
I opened this article saying that I have mixed emotions when it comes to the vote on the new Kenyan constitution. I began with dread, but on thinking about Father John, his great faith and his rare ability to love to the point of martyrdom, I know that Kenyans have a great advocate in heaven. Not only is he powerful for the Kenyan people as a symbol of justice and strength, giving voice to their oppression, he is a martyr. His prayers are powerful. His agony in facing death, which Christopher Goffard detailed in his award-winning L.A. Times series on Father John, is truly a reflection of Christ's agony in the Garden and submission to the Father's holy will in death. Father John was criticized for wanting to be a martyr, but it is clear he knew that his was the way of the cross, leading to Calvary.
Now, in the location where Moi and Sunkuli had hoped this upset for human rights would end, Kenyans gather to take a stand against tyranny, injustice and crimes against human rights.
Please, join me in praying for Father John's intercession on behalf of his beloved Kenya. Father John would not have stayed silent. Let us storm heaven with our prayers that all human beings may be protected as persons everywhere — most especially at this time in Kenya.

DETROIT – Mitch Albom announced Tuesday that 'Ernie' will once again return to the City Theatre, located inside Hockeytown Cafe to offer fans a third season to remember "The Voice of Summer" starting June 6.
Presented by Blue Cross Blue Shief of Michigan and Blue Care Network, the two-man play, dedicated to the late and beloved Detroit Hall of Fame Detroit Tiger announcer, Ernie Harwell, will also welcome back local stage favorites Will Young, as the iconic Harwell and TJ Corbett in the role of "The Boy."
Tickets go on sale Friday, March at 10 a.m. Tickets may be purchased online at OlympiaEntertainment.com, at all Ticketmaster locations, Ticketmaster.com and at the City THeatre box office, located inside Hockeytown Cafe. To Charge tickets by phone call 1-800-745-3000. For discounted Group Sales Tickets (8 or more people), call 313-471-3099. As wtih the past two seasons, proceeds from Ernie merchandise sales will go to the Ernie Harwell Foundation.
Albom, who was asked by Harwell if he'd consider a play about the announcer's life, began writing the script after Ernie's passing in May of 2010. The two-actor play debuted this past April to coincide with the Tigers baseball season for fans to once again enjoy the "Voice of Summer".
The play features classic footage from historic baseball moments, supplied courtesy of Major League Baseball, and boasts many unmistakable Harwell calls. Tigers fans will get a glimpse of the time that Ernie met the Great Bambino and Ty Cobb. They'll witness how he recreated games in his early days, and what was behind his broadcasts of the Tigers' 1968 and 1984 World Series.
Harwell died at age 92 on May 4, 2010, after a battle with cancer.
the play is set on Harwell's last night at Comerica Park in September 2009, prior to his thank-you speech to the city of Detroit.

Calculus/L'Hôpital's Rule
L'Hôpital's Rule[edit]
Occasionally, one comes across a limit which results in or , which are called indeterminate limits. However, it is still possible to solve these in many cases due to L'Hôpital's rule. This rule also is vital in explaining how a number of other limits can be derived.
If exists, where or , the limit is said to be indeterminate.
All of the following expressions are indeterminate forms.
These expressions are called indeterminate because you cannot determine their exact value in the indeterminate form. Depending on the situation, each indeterminate form could evaluate to a variety of values.
If is indeterminate of type or ,
In other words, if the limit of the function is indeterminate, the limit equals the derivative of the top over the derivative of the bottom. If that is indeterminate, L'Hôpital's rule can be used again until the limit isn't or .
can approach a finite value , or .
Proof of the case[edit]
Suppose that for real functions , and that exists. Thus and exist in an interval around , but maybe not at itself. This implies that both are differentiable (and thus continuous) everywhere in except perhaps at . Thus, for any , in any interval or , are continuous and differentiable, with the possible exception of . Define
Note that , and that are continuous in any interval or and differentiable in any interval or when .
Cauchy's Mean Value Theorem tells us that for some or . Since , we have for .
Note that since or , by the squeeze theorem
This implies
So taking the limit as of the last equation gives which is equivalent to .
Example 1[edit]
Since plugging in 0 for x results in , use L'Hôpital's rule to take the derivative of the top and bottom, giving:
Plugging in 0 for x gives 1 here. Note that it is logically incorrect to prove this limit by using L'Hôpital's rule, as the same limit is required to prove that the derivative of the sine function exists: it would be a form of begging the question
Example 2[edit]
First, you need to rewrite the function into an indeterminate limit fraction:
Now it's indeterminate. Take the derivative of the top and bottom:
Plugging in 0 for x once again gives 1.
Example 3[edit]
This time, plugging in for x gives you . You know the drill:
This time, though, there is no x term left! is the answer.
Example 4[edit]
Sometimes, forms exist where it is not intuitively obvious how to solve them. One might think the value However, as was noted in the definition of an indeterminate form, this isn't possible to evaluate using the rules learned before now, and we need to use L'Hôpital's rule to solve.
Plugging the value of x into the limit yields
- (indeterminate form).
(indeterminate form)
We now apply L'Hôpital's rule by taking the derivative of the top and bottom with respect to .
Returning to the expression above
(indeterminate form)
We apply L'Hôpital's rule once again
Careful: this does not prove that because
Evaluate the following limits using L'Hôpital's rule:
