Determining Continuity Applet
In this applet, the user selects or inputs a function and chooses a point x = a at which to check continuity. The applet will calculate several dozen values of f(x) near x = a. From this data, which is presented both in a table and in a graph, the user can make a conjecture regarding continuity at x = a. Limits at infinity are also considered.

text: Set in the last days of the Edo period in Kyoto amongst the Shinsengumi the guardians of the imperial capital there is one man who shows outstanding skill as a swordsman. He is Kanichiro Yoshimura an economic refugee from the famine in Northern Japan. His one sole pre-occupation is self preservation to allow him to earn enough money to send home to his starving family. His fellow samurai scorn him for his dishonourable mercenary ways. Foremost amongst his antagonists is Saito one of the leading figures in the group.As the Kyoto government of the time disintegrates into civil war the Shinsengumi are called upon to defend their clan against the superior government troops and Kanichiro distinguishes himself time and time again in mortal combat earning the respect of his fellow samurai and the friendship of Saito.Told in retrospective by the dual memories of Kanichiros grandson from tales told by his father and those of an elderly deteriorating Saito. When The Last Sword Is Drawn is a stirring stylish and evocative look at the last days of a dying breed of men who held honour above all else.Check stock and price

Just announced
City & Guilds now have 95 Technical Qualifications approved by the DfE to appear on the 2019 Performance tables.
Find out the new qualifications available to deliver from September 2017 >
City & Guilds TechBac is a new approach to skills-based education for 14-19 year olds that's been designed to bridge the gap between education and employment.
TechBac has been developed with employers and education providers to offer a unique blend of hands-on technical skills, transferable 'soft' skills and workplace behaviours. This helps learners to feel more confident and ready for work, and gives employers the skilled and work-ready recruits they need.
City & Guilds Technical Qualifications and Workplace Skills can be studied on their own, but combining the two is the only way to achieve a TechBac.
TechBac is leading the way in establishing a gold standard curriculum for young people that enables them to successfully progress into a job or apprenticeship, or on to university.
TechBac provides you with a strategic, forward-thinking curriculum for 14-19 year olds that addresses some of the key challenges identified in the 14-19 Reforms. These include learner destinations and outcomes, employer engagement and adopting digital delivery.
The benefits of delivering TechBac include:
Find out more about delivering TechBac, our Technical Qualifications and Workplace Skills.
TechBac is designed to set you apart from the competition. It achieves this by not only giving you a City & Guilds Technical Qualification, but also the professional workplace skills needed by employers.
The benefits of studying TechBac include:
Find out more about studying TechBac
"After my TechBac course I would like to go to either university and do an HNC or an HND, or I would like to do an apprenticeship where I can get paid while I am learning at a big company such as BAE Systems or Olstam. I think I will be more than prepared to go into a job after the course and it has given me the confidence to do that."
Rhyce Merrifield, learner at Preston's College
TechBac shows our commitment to meeting employers' needs. It's been designed in close partnership with industry to place a real emphasis on employability.
TechBac is stamp of quality that says a young person has both the relevant technical skills and the key workplace behaviours identified by employers.
This unique combination ensures that a TechBac graduate will be able to perform at work from day one.
Help shape the future of 14-19 education
There are still opportunities for employers to help with developing next phase of TechBac or to get involved in supporting our Technical Qualifications.
Find out more about TechBac and how you can get involved.
"The new style curriculum is very, very good, it's an opportunity for young people to actually develop themselves, their communication skills, how they portray themselves….. The students so far have been absolutely fantastic."
Adrian Berg, Project Manager, Balfour Beatty
Bob Howlett
Director of Construction at South and City College Birmingham, a TechBac pioneer
'The 14-19 reforms have really turned some of what we do in FE on its head because we no longer can just concentrate on technical qualifications. The employability has become core curriculum and TechBac really brings that into focus and it gives students a very seamless experience.'
TechBac has been developed by City & Guilds, a global leader in skills-based education, to help young people to confidently make the transition from education to employment. It's been designed to meet the needs of employers and a rapidly changing education landscape.
Employers demand more than great technical skills from their young recruits. They want the right workplace attitudes, soft skills and behaviours that help them to perform at work from day one.
And, with the competition for jobs never greater, having something which helps young candidates stand out from the crowd is essential.
TechBac was developed following a lengthy consultation with education providers and employers, to uncover their needs and ensure young people are equipped with the skills for the future.
The Department for Education (DfE) has brought in significant changes to vocational qualifications affecting providers of full-time 14-19 education in England.
There is also increasing pressure from Ofsted to track destinations, improve outcomes, increase employer engagement and adopt digital approaches.
TechBac has been designed to answer some of these challenges; a fresh approach for the new educational landscape.

Masahiro's Xtracycle in a Japanese Parkby Josh Lipton
A customer from Japan sent us in this photo of his Xtracycle out for its first test ride, outfitted with the Flight Deck and Pannier Racks. We've heard and seen with increased sales that Xtracycle's are becoming quite a hit in Japan in recent years.
In Masahiro's words:
When doing a test ride to the big park around here just after a bicycle was made up, this picture is the one of which I took a picture. A so nice forest is still also left in Tokyo. I don't match your national grand nature.

Two Mechanisms of Heat Transfer in the Home
Traditional windows are an energy weak spot in a house's design. The energy and heat we generate to warm our homes simply flows out through ordinary windows in winter and flows in through these same windows in summer.
The use of energy efficient glass acts as a plug. We can essentially control our physical comfort through the right window selection.
Conducted Heat
– Thermal Insulation
- Windows represent ~8% of the surface area of a typical residential building
- Yet their very low resistance to conducted heat flow makes them a 'thermal wound' in the building fabric
- Heat flow takes the path of least resistance, hence ordinary windows allow a disproportionate loss of energy through conduction (~50% in an otherwise well insulated home)
- An ordinary window (alum framed, clear glass) can conduct around 6.5 W/m2.K (its U-value)
- So if there's a 10˚ temperature differential between the inside and outside, then that's 65W of energy loss for each m2 of window (typically around 40m2 to 60m2 per house)
Radiant Heat
– Absorption, Reflection & Shading
- Generally speaking, windows (and other glazed areas) are the only entry point for radiant heat into a home
- Responsible for around 90% of unwanted heat gain in otherwise well insulated homes
- In cold places radiant solar heat gain is desirable — 'passive heat gain' reduces need for artificial space heating
- In hot places this is undesirable
- In mixed climates a median level of solar heat should be struck
- The theoretical maximum heat load from the sun is around 750W/m2. Windows don't see all of this due to the angle of incidence and shading from eaves etc
- In tropical climates, radiant solar heat gain equals or surpasses conductive heat gain (during hours of sunshine)

The Australian Childhood Diabetes DNA Repository (ACDDR, or The Repository) aims to assist researchers to identify genes that increase the risk of diabetes.
As you will be aware, diabetes is a devastating disease that affects over 3% of all Australians (ABS National Health Survey 2004-2005 [2.0MB, PDF] ). There are two main forms of diabetes: type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an immune response that goes wrong. We do not know what causes this to happen, but we do know that children who get diabetes have certain genes which make them susceptible.
We are also including children with child-onset type 2 diabetes (cT2D) because this disease is increasing alarmingly. T2D has many environmental factors such as diet and exercise. So, we believe it is important that we research this disease in children.
To battle diabetes and find a cure, researchers are trying to identify genetic risk factors that determine your family's risk of developing diabetes. Researchers can find these genes by testing DNA from people with diabetes. Unfortunately, collecting DNA samples for genetic research is both time consuming and costly. This is where the Repository can help.
The Repository aims to collect the DNA from 3000 Australian families affected by diabetes. Each family consists of the child with diabetes as well as his/her biological parents. This 'trio' family will allow researchers to look at genetic links between diabetes, as well as other autoimmune diseases such as thyroid and coeliac disease.
The ACDDR was established and is supported by the NHMRC Enabling Program. We also acknowledge The Diabetes Research Foundation and Diabetes WA.
Studying genetics in type 1 diabetes is important to understand the disease process, identify people at risk and, ultimately, develop preventative treatments and cures. (Article thanks to Diabetes WA)

Status of ACDDR ProjectMarch 2 2009
1485 families have joined the ACDDR
4339 people have donated DNA samples

Kevin H.
Massage Therapist " CNMT"
At his NeuroMuscular Junction Wellness Center in Plymouth, Mich., Kevin Howley helps clients heal—and teaches them to heal themselves.
With Kevin's guidance and expertise in neuromuscular therapy, clients participate in their own healing process by learning body awareness and performing self-care techniques.
"I don't just rub on you to try to fix you," he says. "I educate my clients about how certain things affect their stress and pain levels and teach self-care methods so they can take an active role in their own health and wellness."
In practice as a certified massage therapist since 2005, Kevin takes a comprehensive approach to health, wellness, injury prevention and rehabilitation. Kevin, who graduated with honors from the Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy in March 2005, holds certifications in neuromuscular therapy and myofascial massage.
The massage therapist looks at many factors in each client's life to determine what may be contributing to the individual's problems. Kevin offers neuromuscular therapy, a method that focuses on locating improper structural and biomechanical patterns in the client's body. Once Kevin finds these patterns, he designs a comprehensive program to guide the client through rehabilitation.
Postural Assessment
In March 2010 Kevin began offering his clients a new protocol for postural assessment using a postural analysis grid chart. By taking photos of the client in front of this grid to show any distortion in the body, Kevin is better able to determine which muscles and areas of the body will need specific manual therapy, stretching or strengthening.

Liuying (Lucy) L.
Massage Therapist " NCTMB"
Liuying (Lucy) Li is a nationally certified massage therapist who offers residents of Livonia, Mich. a moment of relaxation and relief in contrast to the chaotic world outside her doors.
Lucy, a native of China, was exposed to the tenets of Traditional Chinese Medicine at an early age, cultivating an appreciation for healthy living that would inspire her professional development. As a nationally certified massage therapist, she enjoys getting to interact with different kinds of clients, from locals and office professionals to those with particular pain or back problems, and finds satisfaction in knowing that she truly makes a difference in their lives.
"It makes me happy when a client walks out of the massage room with release and a smile on his or her face," says Lucy, who offers ways to prolong this sense of well-being at the session's conclusion. "Clients will feel relaxed and pain-free once the massage is done, thus setting up a great chance to tell them about healthier lifestyle choices such as eating more greens, staying active or keeping a great mood."
A typical session with Lucy involves both traditional massage as well as advanced services, like hot stones when requested. In addition, she gives clients the opportunity to choose and experience all of the benefits of each style, introducing them to such techniques as Thai massage and bodywork.

DescriptionThe cat has been with us since time began. Enigmatic, independent, surprising, single-minded, loving - cats too can be a man's best friend. The haiku is an ancient and honourable Japanese verse form - three lines, seventeen syllables - encapsulating a vision of the poem's subject; a person, place, even a cat... CAT HAIKU presents cats as you've never seen them before. In a series of brilliant vignettes, Deborah Coates gets inside the minds of our cats and comes up with some surprising revelations. You will never look at your (or anyone else's) cat the same way again.

The C.A.M.P. Blade Runner Crampon represents a new era in technical ice crampons. A wealth of innovative features combine to create a crampon that conforms to the ergonomics of modern boots, increases rigidity along the entire length of the crampon without decreasing dexterity or compromising fit, adapts to alpine conditions with a variety of front points and toe bail configurations, and naturally reduces balling with its inverted V-shaped front platform.
The patented heel slide integrates the linking bar with the heel piece for better torsional rigidity. This allows the Blade Runner to offer the best of both worlds by combining the power and stability of vertical frame crampons with the precision and ease of adjustment of horizontal frame designs. The entire heel slide is constructed from proprietary Sandvik Nanoflex steel: an amazingly strong and tough stainless steel that allows for a reduction in the thickness of the frame from 2.75 mm to 1.8 mm, thereby reducing weight while simultaneously increasing strength and providing the right amount of longitudinal flexibility for a precise fit on modern boots with more extreme rocker. The front platform is constructed from traditional chromoly steel alloy to absorb impact energy and maintain solid rigidity under foot. The elimination of connection joints leaves little room for play and reduces much of the flex that can make crampons seem less secure on technical terrain.
The sophisticated geometry of the front points interact with the secondary points on the main frame for easy penetration and superior hold even in the most fickle conditions. Switching the front points between dual and mono, centered or offset is made easy with the hook and notch system on the rear contact point. The optional snow points convert the Blade Runner into all mountain machines with their beveled design and precise shape and spacing that maximizes purchase in ice and hard snow. Optional semi-automatic toe bails also allow the Blade Runner to be used on boots without rigid toe lugs – a great feature for alpine climbing where the bulky toe lug reduces sensitivity and performance on rock.
You don't need separate crampons for ice, mixed, and alpine climbing when the Camp USA - Cassin Blade Runner Crampon excels at all three. This innovative crampon has a unique heel slide that integrates the linking bar with the heel for better torsional rigidity, and it combines the power and stability of vertical frames with the precision and easy adjustment of horizontal frames. Made with Sandvik Nanoflex steel, the heel slide is incredibly strong for how thin it is, and it provides the right amount of flexibility throughout the crampon. Cassin made the front platform out of Cromoly steel to absorb impacts and maintain solid rigidity under your foot, and it reduces the flexibility and play that make you feel insecure on technical terrain.
The Blade Runner offers easy penetration on icy precipices and a superior hold even in ever-changing conditions. You can switch the front points between dual and mono, centered or offset quickly and easily thanks to the hook and notch system. Semi-automatic toe bails and anti-balling plates give your boot a secure fit regardless of whether your boot has rigid toe lugs or not. And an asymmetric design follows the contours of your boot to ensure a precise fit that gives you the confidence you need to send successfully.
|Anti-balling Plates:

I switch between Linux and Windows (and sometimes OSX) on a regular basis. I also like to do things like mark all mail in an IMAP folder as "read". On Linux, that keyboard shortcut is "Control-C", but on Windows it's "Control-Shift-C".
I'd like to request that we make them the same.
This is probably a religious issue so I'll put on my flame retardant suit now... :-)
Not so much religion. Basically due to bug 269228 I think, but that shouldn't be an issue anymore
Anyone have an update on this one?
I'll take this.
Created attachment 335171 [details] [diff] [review]
proposed fix
For thunderbird, just need to revert bug 239483.
SeaMonkey seem to have a different approach, through bug 250005.
Since it was only a workaround in the first place and GTK2.9-> has changed to only reserve ctrl-shift-u (according to bug 311756 comment 35), we can now just switch to use the same shortcut on all platforms.
Comment on attachment 335171 [details] [diff] [review]
proposed fix
Thanks for fixing help too!
changeset: 208:c05edc316cd8
Magnus, I'm so sorry to do this to you, but I just switched to the Mac and realized that the keyboard shortcuts for the Mac are still the three-character chord (shift-command-c) rather than just command-c. Is it possible (and "correct" on the Mac) to make this change also?
Er, the fix was to remove the linux specific shift-c since it was added just of technical necessity. Now all three platforms use the Ctrl+Shift+C (or Cmd+Shift+C) combo.
Well, consistency is good. I don't really care all that much. Go ahead and close it out and work on something more important. ;-)
It's good to read that this is fixed in Seamonkey2, I never understood why this had to do, I never had problems with the Ctrl-Shift-C in first place, I even patched Seamonkey back to use the right key combination, the development team should have been pushing more on the gtk2/gnome2 bunch to fix the problem as it was where it was or done something I hade liked even more switched to QT instead, sad that the trolltech guy's didn't continue to do their work, it's always nicer when application matches the desktop environment, just don't like when buttons on popup windows are wrongly placed.

House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
Book DescriptionMatteo Alacran was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patron, lord of a country called Opium -- a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster -- except for El Patron. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself. As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patron's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacran Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect."

If not, this one's will be. An amorous moose was caught in the throes of passion in a parking lot outside of Hampton, New Hampshire and would not be dissuaded from his task by beeps from a remotely sounded horn or camera flashes from onlookers. The mighty beast eventually wandered off and in its wake left a bewildered owner and a scratched up truck.

The #1 Usability Software Tool Gets an Upgrade as TechSmith Introduces Morae 3.3
New Morae features maximize results-sharing capabilities and customization
OKEMOS, Mich. – March 13, 2012 – It's now easier than ever to capture the nuances of unique testing situations thanks to TechSmith's new release of Morae 3.3. Morae, the number one usability software tool on the market, now offers real-time chat, a searchable table of contents and storage on Screencast.com, allowing users to easily share testing results with anyone, anywhere.
"We understand the distinctive needs of the usability market and that every testing situation is unique," said Jeremy Vanisacker, Morae product manager. "Morae 3.3 provides users with an integrated, comprehensive research experience that evolves the user experience thanks to Morae's new pluggable architecture platform."
Customize the Testing Environment with Pluggable Architecture
Make the most of Morae 3.3 by building features specifically for your unique testing environment. Morae's pluggable architecture encourages both customers and partner companies to create a customized Morae experience with Recorder, Observer and Manager plug-ins.
"Our partnering companies have already given us a glimpse at the potential of this feature," said Vanisacker. "Eye tracking experts Tobii Technology created a free plug-in for Morae that allows researchers to overlay eye-gaze data from a Tobii eye tracker (http://www.tobii.com/) into the Morae Recorder, which captures user behavior. SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) (www.smivision.com) is now offering a free Morae plug-in for all SMI eye trackers which supports Morae Recorder, Morae Manager and as a world's first allows to analyze live gaze behavior in the Morae Observer, functionality that is highly valued by usability experts for live observation of users. Additionally, Visual Interaction (VI) is launching a bundled solution with a new portable remote eye tracker and a plug-in for Morae Recorder, Manager and Observer."
Christian Villwock, Director of SMI's Eyetracking Business Unit says: "Our new OEM-Customer Visual Interaction has taken a focused approach to offer a ready-to-go UX gaze tracking lab for Morae users. It integrates the new fully portable myGaze™ eye tracker and all Morae interfaces in a plug&play mode. The price point of this bundle addresses the needs of UX Professionals much better than the existing high end eye tracking solutions. We are convinced, that the combination of this affordable gaze tracking lab with Morae 3.3 will emerge as the new gold standard for usability testing."
"These plug-ins bring a new dimension to Morae usability studies by allowing researchers to combine the actions of users with their gaze trails, providing comprehensive insights into the behavior of the users — a measurement that has remained undefined until now."
Tweak in Real-Time with Live Chat
With Morae's new chat feature, it's now easier than ever to interact with fellow Observers during testing – even if they're not co-located. Morae's real-time chat enables more team based collaboration allowing users to communicate from Observer-to-Observer while testing, or from Observer-to-Recorder for pre and post-test communication.
Find Relevant Content Faster with the Enhanced Table of Contents
Highlight videos can be long and finding the exact parts viewers want can be tedious, but not anymore. The searchable table of contents allows Morae users to seek out important parts of videos to showcase to others.
Share More, Instantly withScreencast.com
Easily transfer videos from different parts of the company or to external clients with Screencast.com; just send test results straight from Morae to a Screencast.com account for instant sharing to anyone, anywhere. Additionally, Morae maintenance customers will now receive a free Screencast.com Pro account, which offers more storage, monthly bandwidth and caption capabilities.
What can you do with the New Morae?

NMDA receptors have received a great deal of attention because of their role in synaptic plasticity, seizure initiation, and ischemia-induced neuronal death. Recent crystallographic advances have provided the first structure for the agonist binding domains of NR1 and NR2A subunits, and recent functional studies have provided the first conceptual models of NR1/NR2A receptor activation that account for both single channel and macroscopic properties. These advances create an ideal opportunity to explore in detail the relationship between structure and function for NMDA receptors. We will evaluate function in the context of structure for NR1/NR2C and NR1/NR2D receptors, which remain poorly understood despite their roles in striatal and cerebellar function and the intriguing therapeutic potential of NR2C/NR2D subunit-selective modulators. The proposed experiments exploit our recent success in obtaining outside-out membrane patches that contain only one active channel to examine the function of NR1/NR2C and NR1/NR2D receptors activated by both glutamate and novel subunit-selective agonists and modulators. Single channel studies will be extended to native NR2D-containing receptors and recombinant heterotrimeric receptors containing two different NR2 subunits, which can be unambiguously isolated in one channel patches. Complementary experiments will exploit structural data by using atomic co-variance analysis of molecular dynamics simulations of the agonist binding domains for all NR1/NR2 combinations to evaluate long-range intra-protein motions. Our preliminary data reveal intra-protein motions that show domain closure, a pivot around the NR1/NR2 dimer interface, and different interdomain contacts between functionally dissimilar NR2A and NR2D. Understanding the relationship between structure and function is a pre-requisite to rational drug design, which may ultimately yield therapeutically relevant compounds. Proposed experiments will address four questions. 1. How do the NR2C and NR2D subunits control NMDA receptor activation? 2. What are the functional properties of heterotrimeric NR1/NR2A/NR2D and NR1/NR2B/NR2D receptors? 3. How does the NR2D subunit control native NMDA receptor activation? 4. What structural features of the NR1/NR2 dimer influence intra-protein motion and receptor activation?

Meet Nuzhat, a mother and resident of Chikar, Pakistan, who shared her story with us through SKYPE:
"Sadia was four. One day, she came down with a fever and as it climbed higher over the period of the next few days, she fainted. My husband and I were convinced that we were about to lose our little girl. Fortunately, a family member contacted the SHINE Humanity-sponsored Chikar Rural Healthcare Center. Sadia was admitted and after receiving treatment, she quickly returned to good health. Without their help, who knows what would have happened."
Sadia was lucky. She could have become one of the thousands of children under five who die each day in Pakistan because of lack of access to basic healthcare. Her mother Nuzhat expressed gratitude to SHINE Humanity donors who made treatment for her daughter possible through their funds. In response to a question regarding living conditions of the surrounding population, Nuzhat explained "most of us struggle to afford food. Besides this hospital, there is nowhere we can go for treatment. "
We are glad that Sadia is thriving today and wish Nuzhat and her family good health and best wishes!
To advance basic mother-child healthcare, SHINE Humanity launched a Mother's Day campaign that is continuing throughout the year, to secure monthly financial support. Only $20 a month – the cost of one dinner– enables us to provide access to basic healthcare for 10 patients per month.

Funny story
I found this in the 50 foot Floyd thread - funny!
"True story: I was at Old Country Buffet once with my family. After we had finished eating, I noticed that my little brother (about 4 at the time) was sitting there with a mouthful of gum, which he didn't have when we came in.
"Andrew? Um... Where did you get that gum?"
"It's under the table! There's lots of it!" He could barely talk because of the massive wad in his mouth... I think he did the same thing in a few different places, actually "
Xoar my favorite prop.
I have not picked it up from my buddy yet, the order just came in.
chime in and any help and suggestions welcome
Dad 10% of your stuff LOL Thats like a lifetime supply for most of us LOL and that vid is just off the wall I don't know who was better really the heli pilot or the camera guy LOL I didn't know helis could knifedge in a hover amazing stuff right there.
DOG Nice looking prop
Nothing like free Gum,, Emmmmmmmmmm good ROTFLOL
Plow Nice Hub and prop also, I'm going to have to get me one of the Xoars for sure. I have the same Hub going on my P-47 I have to cut the 10mm screw down though, it sticks out front about 3/4"
I have to use the LHS for my purchases, we have not moved into the ordering things on line world yet, well at least not for RC stuff, I'd be in big trouble if those bills came in and the wife saw the costs LOL so nothing RC goes on the old credit cards, I do everything with cash after saving for weeks and months, Its easier than explaining She loves that I'm into RC and supports me whole heartedly. If I really need something I tell her and then its mine soon after, I'm trying to keep it that way As I think I would be shut down if I approached her weekly with new needs ROTFL
HAHA!! I do almost exactly the same thing! Keep online ordering to an absolute minimum and use cash as much as possible! You are a wise man Waldo!!
My wife and I made an agreement - we established a separate checking account for R/C stuff. Once we agree on how much money goes into the hobby account it is mine to do what I want with it, no questions asked. Of course, once the money in the hobby account is gone, it is gone until I figure out how to get more money into the account.
I have a separate checking account tied to my paypal that I use for all my online purchasing/selling. Its really convenient and I can usually find ways to build it up as I buy and sell things so I have the hobby supporting a lot of its own cash needs... but admittedly not all haha.
I took my friend Darren out this morning to fly his first plane for the first time. I took it up and got it trimmed well and made sure everything was working perfect. Then I landed and we set it up for buddy box and he got a little stick time. Man was that fun. I really got a kick out of helping him try and learn the basics of NOT putting the plane into the ground. Boy, he got out of control easy though. I guess it was kinda weird to me since I had probably cose to 100 hours of simulator time before I ever got a real model. But I faintly remember flying that way on the simulator as I struggled to master orientation and basic level flight.
He usually had control for 10-15 seconds at a time before getting in a little trouble. I think he actually only made two or three successful turns. I had him just using aileron/elevator for everything and he never touched the throttle. The good thing is that we both had a blast and his plane is still pristine!
To his credit I think he would have done a lot better but the buddy box was impossible to get trimmed properly so he had to worry about compensating a little for being out of trim along with just trying to learn to fly. I am guessing the JR tx he has has a trainer trim menu in it somewhere to adjust the buddy box inputs but I couldn't find it while we were out there.
Did you try matching up the trim settings on the ground, so that when you hit the switch none of the surfaces move at all?
LOL Wise is a very big word to use in my department, My wife is 5.2 about 110lbs and I'm scared to death of her LOL
LOL If I need stuff she will always say well go and get it as I never ask for a thing ever I save my $5.00 - $10.00 every 2 weeks on payday and I try not to touch it until I've saved for whatever it is I need I just happen upon stuff mostly because of being in the hobby.
Mschulz I like that system but yes replenishing it could prove interesting at times I'm sure lol
kerwin LOL I hear that
Brathanke Thats great, Good job and yes what Plow said is the first thing to do Take off the plane trim and land it then set the trainer box, I'm sure that feature is in there somewhere, Sometimes when that kind of thing happens I'll take the plane off and then push in the trainer button and have the guy in training Hold the trainer button in while I trim his box with the plane in flight, that way its easier for him when you switch the boxes back and then once you take it back you can just fly it and not be so worried about the trim, but of course its best to get it all figured out so its easy on everyone involved LOL
Like the guy who just gave me an awesome deal on the P-47 I couldn't afford at all or refuse at the same time just called me today on another deal, A club member who just passed away was in the middle of building a Scratch built Bird Dog its all he's worked on for the last 2 years I've known him, he couldn't wait to complete it and was really proud of how it was coming out, He had all the parts cut out but never got it finished as he was sick and in and out of the hospital. so I was asked if I wanted to finish it, I of course was honored and couldn't refuse so I told him I would just add the money to the other payment I'm making. but come hell or High water I will finish the bird dog Like he planned on and fly it high so our buddy can see his work soaring in the sky. hmmm Come to think of it I don't even know what size scale it is or the scheme he wanted to do on it I know he has all the pictures of what he was trying to do and showed me 2 years ago, I just don't rmember it exactly so I may have gotten myself into a little trouble here LOL
I'm sure he won't mind Waldo, he'd probably just like to see it finished and bringing a smile to someone's face. I know I would feel that way.
I'm still waiting to fly the new 3DHS Edge. I'll post videos when I get to that point for sure.
Try adjusting it all mechanically for him and zero out the trims. Better yet, teach him how to do it himself! I'm sure you will when you have time. I'm glad to see that you enjoy teaching and sharing the hobby as much as I, and others here do! Course I never doubted it for a second, after all, you're a T___Taholic!! lol
I'm a T___Taholic that has never had a twist! I really like the T___T just for the fact that it has brought so many great ppl together here Buying one is down my list a ways as there are so many other models I want more than it. That is NOT to say I don't want one... just have other things that are coming first

Well, this has not been a fun week for me. On December 24th (last Monday), I woke up with chills, and feeling achey, and with the cough that I'd already had deciding it was going to be much worse. I spent the day lying on the couch, passing in and out of sleep.
This continued throughout most of the week, thereby ruining my Christmas gatherings. I did manage to make it over to my Mom's on Christmas day, but I was a zombie… it wasn't the best of Christmases, that's for sure. I am only now — almost a full week later — starting to feel a little more like myself, again.
The worst part was, there was a family gathering on the evening of December 27th that I'd soooo been looking forward to, as my cousin was home visiting, and she's a favorite cousin. I haven't seen her in at least 5 years, if not more, so I was very much looking forward to getting in some quality time. Needless to say, my stupid cold (or, whatever this is), kept me home, and I did not get to see my cousin. 😦 Oh, man, was it ever hard to stay home that night, especially since hubby & the kids went over to his parents' house for a visit, given that we weren't going to my Aunt's after all. So, I was left home alone.
Anyhoo. Enough whining. That's how my week's been, and I'm done with the pity-party. LOL
I got a book in the mail, the other day, so that helped to perk me back up. It was "Radical Well-Being" by Rita Hancock, M.D. Dr. Rita is the author of "The Eden Diet" (which I highly, highly recommend!), and she had emailed to ask if I'd like to read & review this newest book of her's. I agreed, and now it's here. I've already started reading it, and so far, it's good.
I'm starting to really get excited for the new year. I love a fresh start, and new years are great for that. 😉 I've been prepping my blogs for the switch over to 2013, and trying to decide whether or not I will participate in any reading challenges… I'm thinking probably not, as I'm just tired of that. I will do my own sort of "challenge", in that I will still try to get a lot of TBRs read, etc. But, I don't want to sign up for anything and put that kind of pressure on myself.
The one "challenge", of sorts, that I am doing is taking part in Holley Gerth's "God-Sized Dream" project. It's 6 months of pursuing a God-given dream in cahoots with 99 other fellow women bloggers, and reading & reviewing Holley's upcoming new book, "You Are Made for a God-Sized Dream" (March 2013). I already reviewed her eBook, "The Do What You Can Plan" — which you'll be able to get your hands on soon, as it releases January 1st! It's a fantastic little book full of motivation to get you moving on your dreams and goals. It basically tells you to start now, and keep on going! 😀
I also blogged about what my God-sized dreams are for 2013. Yes, my list is ambitious. But, the things on that list are all of great importance to me. So, I'm looking forward to seeing where God takes me with each of them in the new year!
One of my "dreams" is to finally get over my weight issues, once and for all. I have about fifty excess pounds that need to go, and I plan to use the Intuitive Eating method (aka "mindfulness") to help me shed the pounds. It worked for me, before, so I know it will work for me, again. And, as part of that goal, I put up new inspirational posters on my bedroom wall, yesterday. One of them is a picture I found in a magazine of a 99-year-old woman named Esther, who still runs marathons! I mean, seriously… if a 99-year-old woman can run a marathon, then I have absolutely NO EXCUSES for sitting on my butt and complaining about my health! It is time to do something, instead of always bemoaning my situation but never changing. I Googled it, and found this story of another 90-something who still runs marathons, too — this mega-inspires me!
On a bookish note, the other day I picked up a book from the local library called "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore" by Robin Sloan. The cover of it is very unassuming, but I still kind of like it because it's all books. Well, now I love this cover even more! Why? Because, that night, when I went to bed, I shut off the light, and thought it weird that this book seemed to be "glowing" on my bookshelf… so, I went over to inspect it… and found out that it is a glow-in-the-dark book cover!!! Can we say… Coolest. Library book. EVER!!! ..? I was giddy! I grabbed the book and rushed out to the other room to share my finding with my hubby & kids. Hubby was a party-pooper and wasn't nearly as impressed by this find as I was. My kids, on the other hand, thought it was pretty cool. 😉 LOL
Yes, small things amuse me. 😛
Anyhoo. I will be staying home, today, as my family goes out to one last family Christmas gathering (I am still coughing, and don't want to go around my niece's new baby, or get anyone else sick, for that matter). Then, tomorrow I am working for four hours in the morning, and we'll stay home and do our traditional New Years' Eve thing: steak & seafood-stuffed mushroom caps for dinner, then watch a couple of movies until the "Ball" drops in Times Square on TV. Then I'll head to bed.
Wishing every one of my readers a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! Stay safe… and, Cheers! 😀

This multi-PI project will provide integrated expertise in stroke and Alzheimer's disease to address a cerebrovascular disorder of wide prevalence. Careful neuropathological analyses indicate that cerebral microscopic hemorrhage is an extremely common feature of the aging brain. The current project proposal focuses on these hemorrhagic changes in a comprehensive way, with a goal to define the anatomic and pathophysiological substrate of cerebral microscopic hemorrhage as well as develop therapeutic strategies that can be incorporated clinically in efforts directed to reduce consequences of cerebral microscopic hemorrhage. This RO1 was initiated in 1984 and work from this project has demonstrated that the brain has unique hemostatic regulatory capacities, a phenomenon termed "brain-specific hemostasis regulation." More recently, we have developed the concept of "mixed cerebrovascular disease" to address the increasingly recognized clinical conundrum of patients presenting with ischemic stroke symptoms coexisting with hemorrhagic phenomena that are largely subclinical. The current application may therefore be conceptualized as combining these two novel concepts, ie, how brain specific hemostasis regulation mediates and modulates mixed cerebrovascular disease.
Our specific aims are as follows:
Specific Aim 1 : To demonstrate exacerbation, mitigation, and mechanisms of brain microvascular hemorrhage in vivo, using models of cerebral amyloid angiopathy and aging.
Specific Aim 2 : To demonstrate microvascular integrity-altering mechanisms of in vitro endothelial injury mediated by cerebral amyloid angiopathy and aging.
Specific Aim 3 : To demonstrate the relationships between human brain microhemorrhage, vascular risk factors, blood-brain barrier characteristics, and cognitive function. Completion of these studies will point the way toward protection and maintenance of brain microvessel integrity against the challenges of aging and vascular risks. These issues affect virtually the entire population of individuals over the course of the usual lif expectancy. The studies incorporate a transgenic animal model that develops cerebral amyloid angiopathy and microhemorrhages, cell culture studies, and analysis of human brain autopsy samples;the latter emphasizes the clinical relevance of these studies. Part of the novelty of the project is the genuine collaborative multi-PI effort that combines expertise in stroke and Alzheimer's disease, contributing to the high translational significance.
This project will analyze development of small areas of bleeding in aging brain. Animal models, cell cultures, and human brain autopsy specimens will be studied. The project will address how these small areas of bleeding develop in the aging brain, what are the clinical consequences, and how they can be mitigated.
