La Estrella es donde bailo con señoras raras | La Estrella is where I dance with strange old women
Gringafication is an unspoken concept that's especially popular along Mexico's northern border. It mandates that all of yesteryear's quirky fixtures, signs and general architectural techniques be exchanged for a Wal-Mart-approved version of their predecessors, in an effort to keep up with whatever the white folk on the other side of the fence are currently into.
Chastising modernization puts me at risk of criticismo picante, but it's the lack of taste for which my people are so famously known (and of which they're unaware) that I fear will infect the starry-eyed minds of Mexican copycats.
La Estrella (The Star) recently succumbed to gringafication when the red neon star that had crowned the club's forehead for decades was replaced by a 21st century upgrade. A blue-collar dance hall where people who are my parents' age sweat to cumbia and norteño until dawn, it was (once upon a time, or so I'm told) the only bar on the block. Then came the rest: Dandy Del Sur, Los Cuatro Amigos, Chips, Tropic's and most recently La Mezcalera and El Chez. Collectively, the dive loop is the Sunset Boulevard of Tijuana. American Apparel's arrival a few months ago officially christened the barrio as a hipster cesspit. Since then, it seems like half the town's deep-V-necked population empties its wallet to Tezcatzontecatl (god of booze and fertility) here on a nightly basis.
Sam Walton supernova aside, the innards of La Estrella are the same: the wraparound conga line mural, ashtrays carved into chipped Formica tabletops, Iron Maiden jean vests. Please, Tezcatzontecatl, let it stay that way.
Ladies, stand too close to the dance floor without your nails clasped around another waist and it's only a matter of minutes until you'll be kidnapped by some mustached papi and hauled out to dance. He'll of course assume you know the steps to whatever's being barked through the speakers. But even if you don't, there's no need to fret. Just go limp, keep your weight off your heels and let him drive you around. I have to admit, it makes me jealous. The man always leads, whether he knows what he's doing or not. In my case, I do not. So in the rare occasion when some woman shyly asks me to dance (she's usually someone who could pass for an ex-con), she has no idea that she's about to undergo the most awkward three minutes of her evening in which she'll have to shout ONE TWO THREE ONE TWO THREE ONE TWO THREE over and over and over and squeeze my finger whenever she wants to be twirled.
Sadly, I value my life too much to thrust social progression on the natives by showing up in drag.
Nevertheless, on nights when I don't care to ponder why the female audience members are the only ones who are permitted to shove their hands down the strippers' G-strings at the gay megaplex around the corner, La Estrella tends to serve as the end of the line.
after dark,
La Estrella,
neon joy,
zky blue

Do they still charge 22 pesos to get in and then hand you a tecate? I love this place, and have had some of the most memorable nights just hanging out here. I don't think I've ever left before sun up.
This was a definite stop when we hosted Couchsurfers from el norte.
Is the MC still the little old man in a golden shirt, with cig hanging out of his mouth as he announces the next song?
If it wasn't for a wedding this weekend I am so there...Wait our wedding ends at mid-night, perfect timing for this spot.

still love cuba. the people, the music, the dance, the sun, the smiles and generally being there.
this time round it was even more interesting as my spanish is good enough to hold conversations and ask some probing questions about their culture, their lives and their problems. the issues they face are difficult, no doubt, the economy seems screwed, but the cuban spirit is strong. bit like fidel...
anyway, as i knew before, cuba gives me guaranteed platinum impressions and i am certainly gonna go back. again. learn more. in another wave of crosscultural exchange that is travel.

Percutaneous nephrolothotomy09/05/2008 |
I had this procedure done 5 years ago and may have to have it again for a large kidney stone. I had very severe pain starting as soon as I woke up from surgery and required stong IV pain meds for 2 days. I had a C-section with spinal anesthesia and had very tolerable pain afterwards and was able to take just pain pills with very few side effects. I was wondering if this surgery could be done with spinal anesthesia and if so would this reduce the amount of pain. I would really like to avoid the severe pain I had the last time and avoid the IV medicines if possible. Thank you.
A spinal anesthetic wears off within minutes to hours of the termination of the procedure. I don't think the difference in the degree and duration of pain you experienced with your C-section and the kidney procedure have much to do with the anesthetic technique. It is much more likely to do with the different nature of the two surgical procedures. A spinal anesthetic is feasible for most abdominal surgeries, however for kidney surgery the block has to be pretty high and spinal anesthesia is therefore not a common choice for this type of procedure. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your anesthesiologist so there can be a plan to treat, or even prevent, your pain. Multimodal analgesia is the concept of attacking the pain at various points in the pain "pathway" - combinations of regional anesthesia (nerve blocks, spinal, epidural), with opioids (strong pain killers like morphine and fentanyl), anti-inflammatory medications, and other drugs and non-drug therapies can be very effective.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie took his message that his state's shore is open to tourists to a national audience Friday and said he'll welcome President Barack Obama to a shore tour next week.
"For probably 80 percent of the Jersey shore, you won't notice any difference at all from last summer," Christie said on NBC's "Today" show. He said that hard-hit residential areas are coming along more slowly than business districts as homeowners wrestle with individual decisions of whether to rebuild.
The Republican governor was originally planned to be a guest host on the show, but was merely a guest instead because of equal time considerations less than two weeks before a primary election.
The show broadcast from Seaside Heights, where the storm swept a roller coaster into the ocean, making for one of the superstorm's iconic images.
The roller coaster was taken away this month, but Casino Pier, the seaside amusement park where it used to sit, plans to have 18 rides open this summer.
Up and down the coast, some boardwalks have been rebuilt, including most of the one in Seaside Heights. Beaches are open — many with symbolic ribbon-cuttings scheduled for Friday — though many of them are narrower this year. Southern New Jersey resorts such as Ocean City and the Wildwoods had relatively little damage.
When the storm hit in October, New Jersey sustained an estimated $37 billion worth of damage, with 360,000 houses and apartment units damaged.
Boosting the shore is important to New Jersey because tourism brings in more than $35 billion per year.

But some Democrats are complaining that Christie, a Republican, is promoting the shore as a way to promote himself as he seeks re-election this year. They take aim especially at a $25 million federally funded ad campaign for the shore. Christie and his family appear in a TV commercial as part of the campaign. He has said that not being in the ad because of fears of political criticism would have been a mistake.
The White House announced that President Barack Obama will tour the coastline with Christie on Tuesday.
Christie was criticized by some Republicans last year when he appeared with Obama and spoke warmly of him days before the president was re-elected last year. He said he'd welcome the president back next week because it's the job of the governor to work with the president.
"I think what people in my state want more than anything else it's for me to do my job," he said.
Christie was also asked about his repeated statements that climate change did not cause Superstorm Sandy, though experts say it likely made it worse.
"I've got a place to rebuild here and people are talking about esoteric theories," he said.

Further Thoughts (And Tweets) On CPI
Here is a collection of my post-CPI tweets and some additional thoughts:
Looks like +0.09% on Core CPI - incredibly, rounded UP. Lots of little drags - vehicles, computers, utilities. Some very curious.
YOY core down to 2.10%, no rounding needed. This is a BIG downside surprise in CPI, which was biased to a round-up.
Energy subtracted from headline - last time for that for a while.
Electricity, which is 3% of overall consumption, fell 1.3% on the month. That's a lagged response to natural gas' decline, probably.
CPI number gives a bit more latitude for the Fed's QE3. Not that 2.1% vs 2.2% is great, but will make contours of inflation look better.
Primary rents +0.3%, OER +0.2%… together [are] 30% of overall basket, and the stickier part.
Accelerating CPI groups: Medical Care, Other (12.2% of basket); decelerating: Food/Beverage, Housing, Apparel, Transportation, Education/Comm (81.9%!)
A fair amount of CPI deceleration was base effect of last July falling out. Pressure is on the inflation bulls (me included) hereafter.
VERY interesting… Cleveland Fed's Median CPI +0.2%, YOY stayed at 2.3%. This is the most that Median has been above Core since 2009.
I don't think my view of the likely trajectory of core CPI has changed much. Housing remains buoyant, and certainly there are no signs that housing inflation is going to decelerate going forward, since surveys of primary rents are rising comparatively briskly. If housing isn't going to slow down, then it's hard to get a meaningful deceleration of core CPI going.
The base effects at work here shouldn't be underestimated. Apparel prices rose, and rose on a seasonally adjusted basis, but year-on-year apparel inflation declined. As the chart below shows, however, this doesn't mean that apparel prices are falling. And, in fact, the character of apparel price inflation still appears to have undergone a tectonic shift.
August 2011 core CPI, which will fall out of the year-on-year calculation next month, was +0.24% and will create a decent chance of another slip lower in core CPI. But the four months following that were all +0.17% or less, which means that the local low for year-on-year core CPI is almost surely in August. If traders perceive a bigger swing in the CPI than is actually happening, it will represent an opportunity to get long breakevens or inflation swaps at lower-than-current levels.
Outside of core inflation, there are relevant trends building in food and energy. Although retail gasoline prices are only up about $0.12/gallon from a year ago, they're also up $0.40 in the last six weeks at a time when most observers were expecting continued low prices. Some of this is Middle East tension, but a fair amount of it is related to domestic refinery issues and, of course, the increase in money. Energy prices will continue to ebb and flow, but gasoline prices within $0.40/gallon of an all-time high at a time when the global economy is sputtering at best should not be discounted. "Slack demand" isn't working. Since 2004, retail gasoline prices are up at around a 9% per annum pace (and much faster if you measure from the 2008 lows, which erased 2004-2008 gains), while M2 is up at a 6% per annum pace over the same period. This just in: More money in the system means that money depreciates relative to hard commodities.
While the current cycle in grain prices, to be followed soon by livestock prices, is likely amplified by the domestic drought and other food crop problems worldwide, I think it is unlikely that we will see prices back to the lows of a few years ago. As I pointed out here , real grain prices are not particularly high at all, and arguably are low considering the current crop condition.
These are not in core inflation, and there is nothing that Fed officials can do to restrain these prices separately from their efforts to restrain all prices. Accordingly, it is still reasonable for policymakers to focus on the more stable core CPI and median CPI in setting policy. It doesn't mean they don't care about food prices going up. It doesn't mean they want everyone to live without energy. It is just that they need to focus on a less noisy series.
At the same time, though, a rise in food and energy prices narrows the window during which the Federal Reserve can point optimistically at headline inflation being below core inflation. If the Fed is going to ease, I think it is going to be in September or it's not going to happen. And if that's going to happen, then I think we'll hear Chairman Bernanke speak generously about the capabilities of monetary policy at the Jackson Hole conference, which begins August 30.
Astonishingly, despite weak inflation data and a very weak Empire Manufacturing report (consensus was +7.00 and the print was -5.85), bonds sold off anyway with the 10-year yield up 5bps at 2:40pm on Wednesday (when I wrote this) and real yield actually up more (10y TIPS +7bps to -0.46%). Equities traded listlessly, and commodities rallied. So, even though I was completely wrong Tuesday about what was going to happen with core CPI, I was fortunately also wrong about the market reaction. In this case, two wrongs make a right, although I don't recommend pursuing this method of prognostication on a regular basis.

No break for Hartley
Hartlepool, Updated:
[.[views].], BY ClubCall
Hartlepool manager Neale Cooper has allayed fears centre-back Peter Hartley suffered a broken leg at Yeovil on Saturday.
Hartley left the field on a stretcher during the first half of Pools' 1-0 victory, but Cooper hopes the problem is not as bad as first feared.
He told the club's official website: "We'll have to take a look at him again on Monday.
"At the time we were concerned he had broken his leg but the specialist told us to wait until the swelling settles down but he's on crutches so we will have to wait and see."

Denis Leary is known in media circles for being one of the most fun and friendly interviews in the TV business. Here he is, chatting about Bristol Palin, real firefighters, and the last time he hit a cabdriver with his hockey stick. (The comedian and FX star is in town Saturday, bringing his Rescue Me tour at the Hard Rock, along with legendary Boston comic Lenny Clarke.)
Learys a native of the Boston area, a tough place indeed.
It is, as Jon Stewart once described it, the drinkingest and fightingest town in America, Leary says. We like to settle things face to face.
Many Boston guys keep baseball bats and other items in their vehicles in case a fight needs to break out.
I always had a hockey stick in my car. I still do in my truck, because I play hockey, he says.
You still hear stories about people getting into fights about shoveling out spaces when theres a snowstorm. They shovel out a spot for their car, and somebody takes it, and its the beginning of World War III.
But Leary keeps a lid on his aggression.
Truly the last time I had a confrontation was about four years ago now. That was with a cabby in New York. It wasnt pretty.
I was on my way to play hockey. Im sure I dont have to explain: He was in the wrong. Suffice to say, it did not end well for him.
The real reason it ended is I decided in the middle of it, people were on their way to work and they were pulling out their cell phones, and I thought, I really should get out of here before the cops come.
But I just want to emphasize I havent done it since. And I was in the right. I was definitely in the right. I had a green light, and he had a red light, and he decided he was gonna go through.
Some proceeds from Learys Rescue Me tour will go to his charity (LearyFirefighters.org), as will some proceeds from a Rescue Me Tour special running on Comedy Central in August.
Learys foundation helped fund the first high-rise firefighting simulator in the history of the Fire Department of New York. The simulator stages stunts for firefighters to practice rescues.
They go in there and theres fire and smoke and flashovers and elevators that collapse, and every circumstance you can imagine, Leary says.
It allows the fire department to create and train in the chaotic circumstances they would find in any skyscraper in New York City, whether its a fire or a terrorist attack.
His foundation has helped rebuild fire houses in various U.S. cities and helped resupply fire boats in New Orleans.
Leary says fire departments in New York and other cities are strapped for money to build such things, because firefighters never go on strike as a bargaining chip.
I told Leary its typical that politicians didnt fund that firefighting simulator.
I know, I know, he says. Hey listen, I started this charity with the idea that eventually it would go out of business, because people in city government and state government and federal government would be embarrassed that somebody like me had to raise money to help the fire department. But Im OK with doing the job until they finally say, Were really embarrassed, so we want to put you out of business.
If Leary ran for office, he could do his part to change the government. Thats what I tell him. He laughs.
I would love to be president or the governor or something. They would really see some abuses of power if I was in charge, Ill tell you that much. First of all, thered be no cabs available, because Id be arresting every single cabdriver Id run into. ... Id arrest everybody. Thats why Im not a cop or the president.
OK, so maybe Leary should stay on TV and not run for anything.
When I was a TV critic at the Chicago Sun-Times, I named Rescue Me one of my 20 favorite shows of all time.
Learys top three favorites ever are Columbo, All in the Family and The Sopranos.
But he doesnt think All in the Family could play on broadcast TV now, because of the controversial language it pioneered in the 1970s.
Not only that (I say), but theres no way a major film studio would put out Fast Times at Ridgemont High in todays climate, because of the abortion scene alone.
Its unbelievable. Weve actually gone backwards in time in some regards, he says.
He knows which kinds of people to blame for that situation:
People like Sarah Palin who doesnt want to talk about abortion because her daughter is getting paid $30,000 a speech to talk, I guess, about how not to have sex with a hockey-playing moron. Im just guessing. I havent seen her speak. But shes getting paid $30,000 to tell teenagers not to have premarital sex. So you know, whatever.

It must have accidentally gotten in with my seed packet. Does anyone know what kind of flower it is? The leaves are unusually shaped and the flower is only open one day. It's very pretty even if the bloom is short lived. I am wondering if it is a perennial or and annual and if it will produce seeds that I can harvest for next year. Thanks to any and all who can help me identify it. |

Seriously, people on the subway look at me weird. The game features the same dark, maze-like hallways and caverns as its PC/Mac sister. Controlling a space marine on the run from hostile aliens, players swipe (or control the virtual joystick) in the direction they need to scurry to after grabbing a keycard or exploding a wall away. Tension builds as you round corners to enemies, watching as they pace back and forth, and waiting for their flashlights to dim before dashing to another safe zone.As a stealth game, Dynamite Jack is spot on.

Giveaway: Pamper's Diapers and Wipes
posted by Andrea | 12/19/2013UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
Congrats to Norah (samandnorah@…)
Almost all my blog readers have children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews — and lots of those kiddo's wear diapers!
So since I'm a huge fan of Pamper's diapers (they're definitely my favorite brand for Nora these past 2 years), I figured it would be a great time to do a little Pamper's giveaway — especially since I don't know any parent of small children who would complain about free diapers!
In my experience, Pampers diapers give me the most bang for my buck. Their sizes run larger than other brands, which means I can almost alway buy a size smaller and get more diapers for the same price.
I'm also SUPER pleased with their performance. Not only do they hold up well overnight (seriously, I can't remember the last time Nora had wet clothes in the morning), they are sturdy and don't easily rip or tear like so many other diaper brands I've tried.
I'm definitely a die-hard Pamper's diapers fan!
No parent wants to be short on diapers — especially not during the crazy, busy holiday season when we have 210 other things to think about and shop for. So thankfully CVS stores make it really quick and convenient to pop in, buy a few packs of diapers, and be on our way again.
If you're looking for a great quality diaper at a reasonable price… or even if you're looking for a super practical clutter-free gift for young parents on your Christmas list, head on over to CVS and pick up a few packages of Pamper's diapers and wipes.
Oh, and you'll definitely want to enter my giveaway too 🙂
The Giveaway:
Today, 1 lucky reader will win two coupons for a free package of Pamper's diapers and Pamper's wipes from any CVS location.
How to Enter:
{required} Leave a comment on this post. What would you do with your free diapers?
If you are reading this in your email or feed reader, please visit the actual blog post to enter. Email entries, Facebook comments, and Twitter messages will NOT be counted.
(1) Package of Pamper's Diapers and Pamper's Wipes as described above.
This giveaway ends at 10:00 pm on Saturday, 12/21/2013 and is open to US residents, 18 years or older. I will use And the Winner Is to select the winning comments at random. Winners will be notified by email and noted at the top of this post. Winners must respond within 48 hours of notification to claim their prize or I will choose a new winner. Please see my full disclosure policy and contact me with any questions you have. Good luck!
I was selected and compensated for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective; the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Is there no shame in Trimble County?
I can remember that 10 years ago when a special interest group of people were crying about how we needed zoning here. They said that if not passed the lower class of people would destroy Trimble County by moving in with their trailers, drinking, their drugs and trashing our beloved county. It did not happen.

High-Tech Equipment: The MiNDS Laboratory has state-of-the-art equipment that's preparing students for careers in the expanding fields of nanotechnology and nanomedicine.
The expanded laboratory for Micro-Nano Device and Systems (MiNDS) is allowing students to put as many as 200 micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) on a chip that's one centimeter square.
It's also opening new career opportunities in this expanding field of science.
"MEMS is the future. The MiNDS Laboratory gives Rose-Hulman students distinct advantages in the exciting world of micro and nano technology," says Azad Siahmakoun, PhD, associate dean of faculty and director of the MiNDS Laboratory. "We're one in a handful of colleges providing MEMS experiences to undergraduate students."
Nano-sized products used every day include sun screen with micro devices that detect the sun's intensity and prevent sunburns, vehicle car safety bag technology, clothing created with nano textiles that never stain, and nano-particles are being researched as a non-invasive method for selectively killing cancer cells.
The 1,800-square-foot MiNDS Laboratory, located on the first floor of Myers Hall, has state-of-the-art equipment that allow multi-disciplinary teams of faculty and students to complete a variety of micro and nano technology-related projects. Course work spans the fields of material science, chemical detection, optics, power generation, and bio-MEMS.
Each of these areas has promising futures, according to Rose-Hulman faculty members.
"This facility is a unique teaching and research laboratory on campus," says Richard Liptak, PhD, assistant professor of physics and optical engineering. "It is a fully-functional cleanroom, allowing for the fabrication and characterization of novel devices such as diodes, capacitors, transistors, MEMS devices, and lasers."
The professor adds, "Most academic cleanrooms located at large institutions do not allow undergraduates in these types of labs."
Students in several engineering physics and optical engineering classes receive instruction and hands-on experience with state of the art tools used to fabricate semiconductor, MEMS, and optical devices. During these labs, students fabricate fully functional devices while learning the fundamentals of photolithography, diffusion doping, wet and dry etching, metallization, and oxidation.
A multi-disciplinary research and educational program in nanomedicine—a hot topic in science of the 21st century—will be offered for the first time this summer.
"Nanotechnology is one of the new science and technological frontiers of the 21st century," says Renat Letfullin, PhD, associate professor of physics and optical engineering. "Nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine, creating a new science–Nanomedicine, a multidisciplinary science approach to medicine. It is the future of medicine, and it is smart medicine."
Furthermore, students gain invaluable experience in several characterization techniques, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The expanded space has brought new tools, such as an Arradiance GEMStar-6 Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system. This system allows for highly controlled (one monolayer/cycle) deposition of metal oxides, which can be used as gate dielectrics in transistors, optical materials, hard masks, and several other applications. There are plans to add a plasma capability to this tool in the future, further expanding opportunities for students to deposit nitride, carbide, and sulfide materials.
"The training the students receive in the MINDS facility prepares them for graduate school or jobs in the fields of micro and nanotechnology," Liptak says.
In 2002, a multi-disciplinary team of faculty from several different departments acquired a $400,000 W. M. Keck Foundation grant to launch a program to teach MEMS technology to undergraduate students. The original grant has been supplemented by equipment donations from ON Semiconductor, and the renovation of a clean space by Rose-Hulman's Office of Academic Affairs, bringing a hands-on lab component to the program.
The original MiNDS Laboratory had 900 square feet—about half the size of the new facility—and was located in Moench Hall.

Many issues facing local voters on Election Day
Election Day is Tuesday and polling locations will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Voters still need to bring identification to the polls in order to vote.
"Also, if you have moved or changed your name and did not update your voter registration, you will have to vote a provisional ballot at your new precinct," said Carolyn Campbell, executive director of Auglaize County Election Board, speaking of requirements for all voters.
Five area school districts are putting levies before voters: St. Henry, Parkway, St. Marys, New Bremen and New Knoxville.
In Auglaize County, the school levies are the only issues on the ballot. There are no candidates on the Auglaize ballot so voters do not have to declare a party when voting. Also, only voters who actually live in the school district will vote on that district's levy.
Auglaize election board office will be open from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Residents of Logan Township who are in the St. Marys school district will vote at the Salem Township House for this election only, Campbell emphasized.
The only contested race in Mercer County is between Republicans Myron Buxton and Matthew Jeffries who are both running for Celina City Council Ward 1.
Mercer County has one countywide issue, that of Mercer County MR/DD's renewal levy. Voters in Rockford also will vote on a renewal levy for the village.
The Mercer election office will be open on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon and on Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Mattress Discounters Begins Restructuring Process
Oct 23, 2002, 01:00 ET from Sealy, Inc.
TRINITY, N.C., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Mattress Discounters Corporation, one of Sealy's largest customers, today announced that it had filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Mattress Discounters, subject to court approval, has arranged for debtor-in- possession (DIP) financing through direct loans from its current shareholders that will fund operations during the reorganization process. Mattress Discounters remains open for business and anticipates no change to normal operations during the reorganization. "We believe that Mattress Discounters will successfully restructure its business," said Dave McIlquham, Sealy's Chief Executive Officer. Sealy has agreed to enter into a new supply agreement, subject to court approval, under which Sealy may provide Mattress Discounters with up to $3 million of credit terms. As part of its filing, Mattress Discounters has asked the court to approve a contract allowing for the sale of its stores in San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Diego to California-based Sleep Train, another large Sealy customer. Sealy has negotiated a supply agreement with Sleep Train covering any stores that Sleep Train may acquire from Mattress Discounters in California. "Mattress Discounters' business in its core markets is very attractive to prospective buyers," added McIlquham. "We expect that Mattress Discounters will no longer be a Sealy affiliate following the restructuring. We look forward to expanding our relationship with Sleep Train as well as with any buyers that may emerge in other markets." Sealy is the largest bedding manufacturer in the world. Including its subsidiaries, Sealy has 31 manufacturing plants in the United States, Canada, France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. There are a total of 11 international licensees operating in Australia, Israel, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Saudi Arabia, Japan, New Zealand, Thailand, South Africa, the Bahamas and the United Kingdom. In addition to its licensees, Sealy has a joint venture in Southeast Asia, India and Korea. Sealy produces and sells a full range of mattresses under the Sealy, Sealy Posturepedic(R), Stearns & Foster and Bassett brand names. Sealy-branded licensed products include crib mattresses, sheets, pillows, mattress pads and comforters, and futons. More information on Sealy, Inc., can be accessed at http://www.sealy.com. This news release contains forward-looking statements concerning Sealy's future relationship with Mattress Discounters and Sleep Train. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, some of which are outside the company's control. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements are changes in Mattress Discounters plans, whether the Bankruptcy Court and Mattress Discounter's bondholders approve the plan currently being proposed by Mattress Discounters, changes in the business performance of Mattress Discounters or Sleep Train, or changes in the economic or financial conditions in the world or the market. We do not assume any obligation to update these forward- looking statements. Make Your Opinion Count - Click Here http://tbutton.prnewswire.com/prn/11690X70954351

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa — Borrowing his son's race car, Merv Chandler jumped into the lead in the IMCA Sport Compacts feature and never looked back en route to his seventh win of the season Friday night at Marshalltown Speedway.
David Moorman comes home in the runner-up position, Alec Gill driving Jon Gill's car came home third, Chad Larson was fourth and Joe Alday was fifth.
Dusty Masolini grabbed the early race lead in the Toby K's Hideaway Mod Lites feature but he had a slight bobble and that opened the door for Mike Kennedy. Kennedy grabbed the lead away on lap four but his short lived as Josh May worked his way through the field and grab the top spot away on lap seven. May led the remaining laps to take the win for the second week in a row and sixth total at MoTown. Andy Hennigar, Mike Kennedy, Mike Morrill and Masolini rounded out the top five.
Mike's Hard Lemonade IMCA Hobby Stocks feature saw Jennifer Hulin start off a little better this week as she grabbed the lead on opening lap. Jacob Keiser took the lead away on lap two and just after the completion of lap two the caution waved when three cars get together. On the restart, they were racing hard for position behind the leader but it was Keiser remaining out front. Keiser lost the lead on lap four when he slid up the track and open the bottom side for Eric Stanton. Stanton held off several late race challenges from Bill Bonnett to take his third win of the season at Motown. Jacob Keiser came home third, Gary Pfantz was fourth and Hulin came home in fifth.
After having the initial start called back in the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods feature it was Shawn Simatovich grabbing the lead. Simatovich lost the lead on lap two when Bill Hildreth snuck the bumper in the inside but just after the completion of lap two the caution waved when Simatovich lost the handle in turn four and Brandon Williams came to a rest in turn one. On the restart, Hildreth had to deal with Johnathan Logue and Chad Ryerson but it was neither of them grabbing the top spot away from Hildreth, it was Eric Elliott grabbing it away. Elliott went on and start to pull away as he builded up a ten-car length advantage over second place when the caution waved on lap thirteen for debris on the race track. Elliott saw Carter VanDenBerg and Jenae Gustin on his back bumper, he held off any challenges from them to take his second win in back-to-weeks and third of the season. VanDenBerg finish second with Gustin in third. Paul Nagle after getting some early damage to the front of his car found his way in fourth and Ben Kates was fifth.
Cory Piffer grabbed the lead on the opening lap in the Amsoil IMCA Stock Car feature but it was Tracy Gienger making the bottom side work to grab the lead away on lap two. Gienger continued to lead until the cautions waved on lap six and then again on lap eight. Gienger lost the lead when Derek Reimer, Steve Meyer and Jay Schmidt wanted to make it a four car battle for the top spot. Reimer grabbed the lead away on lap nine then he slip the grip and that allowed Steve Meyer to find the traction on the bottom side. Meyer grabbed the top spot and held off any attempt from Jay Schmidt on the high side through out remaining laps. For Meyer it was win number two for the season at MoTown, Schmidt finish in the runner up spot. Reimer, Norman Chesmore and Gienger rounded out the top five.
The final feature of the night was the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds feature saw a different driver from Kellogg grab the lead as this week it was David Brown. Brown lead the first three laps before Ronn Lauritzen grabbed the top spot away. Laurtizen and the field saw the only caution wave on lap five and this set Brown and Jon Snyder on back side, Snyder worked his way eventual by Brown and set his sights on Lauritzen. Lauritzen and Snyder race for the top spot on laps eight and nine, with Laurtizen leading lap eight and then Snyder on lap nine. Snyder eventually was able to pull away and take his third win in as many weeks. Lauritzen was second, Cayden Carter was third, Mike Van Genderen was fourth and David Brown came home fifth.

You may notice that this tab differs slightly from the guitar tab. I moved everything down the neck so that you could take advantage of the open strings, thus wearing out your fingers less. Bassists should still take advantage of economy fingering, though. It is very useful in Riff A. Instead of moving your whole hand down to play the E note on the 2nd fret of the D string, try playing the 2nd fret on the E string with your middle finger, the 4th fret on the D string with your pinkie, and the 2nd fret on the D string with your index finger.

This is what I could find for determining terminal coordinates based on current position, bearing and distance. This would be used to calculate the phantom waypoint on the fly. Since your osd as seen above already knows the current coords and bearing (291) it should just be a matter of doing maths. Accuracy isn't paramount.
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/find...g-and-distance |
but fulfilling user expectations is a paramount :-) Quote:
By the way schematic for my OSD M328 is available since 2008 here: http://rc-cam.pl/viewtopic.php?t=199 But I don't know how releasing source code (and all knowledge) will increase sale of new design. It potentially inceases number of people trying to build another exciting OSD, slightly changing my code... Let me build my reputation slowly, in my way |
Thanks. In fact this kind of job can't be finished at all.
We are working not only on ground station - "another brick" in out FPV system, but also on new features for OSD, Autopilot and PC management software. Latest version 2.8 was published january 13, and today new features mentioned by users are ready for BETA tests (I hope snow and low temperature won't postpone tests). Among other features there is a new temperature sensor with extended range -30C (Siberian users will be happy :-) ) up to 120C (is someone going to visit Sahara?) or -20F to 250F if you choose "imperial" units to be displayed. For any displayed item you can choose Inverted B/W letters (especially in upper part of screen when black letters on bright sky will be better visible), and added user Callsign, especially for radio amateurs with HAM licenses, but one can put here any text he like, e.g. nick from RC-groups :-) . |

I'm so glad that Zbig and PitLab decided to inform all RC flying hobbies about grate OSD and wonderfull AP.
I use this system from all last year and I'm still impressed how well it works. It has some safte settings like minimal GPS speed, min and max altitude for autonomus flight, 9 waypoints, full customizable OSD layouts, many, many parameters for stabilistaion and autopilot tuning. But we still have some suggestions about OSD and AP functionality. Maybe this time Zbig will be more willing to make fast change :-) : - all 4 layouts to be user defined - now are 2 (with sublayouts) and this is realy greate but 4 is better - as Zbig announced - black OSD content - maybe alternativ fonts apperance - AP in stab mode to fly "just forward" (keep cours magneto or GPS) as you can read in previous posts - some additional sensor like temp, air speed - some of them are working on On You Tube and Vimeo there is a lot of films, how well this OSD&AP performs. One of users (AP beta testers) even fly without ailerons - only rudder ! |

In fact fixed layouts are OK at early stage of this project, when OSD has limited set of OSD objects on sreen, and few configured options and sensors user can use and optionally turn on, or change it's appearance. Now, with growing number of options fixed layouts seems obsolete. 2 fully user-defined layouts will fit most FPV flyers. Probably most of users at the end of the day will use only one layout (as I did). Nevertheless something should be done with fixed layouts. Maybe just remove it? Btw. Layout designer looks like this: Application works on PC with Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, all of them 32 or 64 bit), without installation. No drivers is reqired for USB connection to OSD, so application can be started instantly from any location or device (e.g. pendrive) on any machine with Windows. |
I've got serious problem with this request.
Font size is choosen according to former and present user expectations, and of course my (and my wife as well ) private experience (my google are Z800 - with quite big FOV and resolution) Some of users claim that fonts are too big, but another said that larger fonts will be better . When I look at movies on YouTube from OSD with smaller fonts - they are almost illegible. But on the other hand larger font will occupy big part of screen thus obscuring view. So what is your opinion? Bigger or smaller? Or any other suggestion? Bigger font causes another problem: there will be no space for all menu items with on-line help :-( |

I'm shure everyone pilot has his most favorite layout, including me. I have my 2nd favorite, and I cant designe my 3rd and "technical" layout (may be all possible information completly useless in standard flight) Sometimes, in flight, it is worth check some parameters in exaple roll and pitch for adjust the AP horizon. About font: is there any pixels x pixels area for fonts? In the picture for me it is quite OK, but I prefeer smaller, to be honest I would like another font style. Long time ago on ZX Specrum (as I remember) all coders has 8 x 8 pixels and font styles was so many. |
Font is 12px height x 10px width for each character. There is no variable -sized letters (or kerning). So far there is only one set.
Other font is possible, of course it need to be defined in pixel-by-pixel basis (I hate such a work). Due to font body (black) and outline (white) it can't be made much smaller, but 11x9px or probably 10x9px will be possible. It makes it only 10% smalller, without real harm to its appearance. Here is original 12x10 and reduced 11x9 sample letters: As you can see vertical lines in font are 2px width. This is because of aspect ratio of pixels - it is not exactly 1:1 (rather 4:3), and very thin lines will be hardly legible in tough conditions. This gives also effect of thick body of font with thin outline, which looks better. According to font size there will be also changes in designer, according to new "field" sizes. Changing font for whole screen seems to be quite straightforward, but mixing them in one layout may be more difficult and will require far more work. We are independent from Smart OSD and Andrzej Antosik, we know him only from FPV forum in Poland. Speaking of layouts number, removing fixed layouts is simplest task, but I agree: for customer it is better to add something rather than remove :-) I'll think about it. |
Ok. Alot of his work looks similar to yours and I knew they were based in Poland. I love the smart osd for Mikrokopters because of the software interface and great features, and yours looks to have similar capability, but for any kind of aircraft. Sweet. Good luck with it!

The Vitamins Your Kids May Be Missing
Kids, back to school, and the immune system are a notorious trio. Keeping them healthy for the new school year is a must, but which supplements really make the grade?
The first test – a multivitamin
Cover the basics first.
To do that, children need the right nutrients, but not those cloaked in sweeteners.
Despite the best (and often heroic, given the circumstances) efforts of parents, many children still have nutritional gaps in their diets. It may not even be related to the foods they eat – or don't eat – simply the fact of feeding a fast-growing system is challenge enough.
Are they getting these nutrients every day?
How about natural antioxidants from bilberry, cherry fruit and elderberry? Not exactly items you'd normally pack in a lunch, but they contain important nutrients that give your child's immune system a boost when and where they need it, especially this time of year – when all the other kids are back at school.
Or, what about magnesium? This often overlooked mineral supports growing muscles and bones and healthy exercise.
Of course, nutrients that support the mind should be on their vitamin schedule, too. Iodine is one of them. It's absolutely key to thyroid health, which you might not associate with kids, but affects just about everything in the body, including healthy brain development.
Where can they get 'em? Sea Buddies
brand supplements
For every day support consider one of two Sea Buddies
Daily Multiples. They contain 25 essential (think "must-have") ingredients that your child needs to be their best. For an extra boost, take a look at Sea Buddies
Immune Defense
dietary supplement.
Sea Buddies
Daily Multiple
provides nutrients for the youngest students in your life (up to 12 years old), without the heavy load of sugar you'll find in many other supplements. But don't worry, these chewable tablets have been taste-tested and approved by the most discerning critics–kids. There are two flavors to choose from:
Tropical Splash
, both of them delicious.
Sea Buddies
Immune Defense
dietary supplement
is excellent for children or the teen student. It combines vitamins A, C, and B6 with zinc, an immune system "power player" and good ol' elderberry extract (something you don't see in many made-for-kids fruit drinks) for a daily immune system boost.
Not just for kids – Esberitox
supercharged echinacea
You've probably heard about echinacea. It gets into the health headlines on a regular basis. So just what does "supercharged" mean?
It means
has two – count 'em, two – types of echinacea, plus two other botanical ingredients, wild indigo root and white cedar leaf. It's this natural combo that provides greater short-term immune-boosting power than echinacea alone.
It "supercharges" the benefits of Esberitox in a way you just won't find from ordinary echinacea supplements. In fact, in a recent clinical study, people taking Esberitox felt better two times faster!
Henneicke-von Zepelin HH, Hentschel C, Schnitker J, Kohnen R, Kohler G, Wustenberg P. Efficacy and safety of a fixed combination: results of a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, multicentre study.

Franchises create roughly 10 percent of all new jobs in the U.S., and job growth in the sector is expected to outpace that of the broader economy this year, according to the International Franchise Association.
The IFA claims that franchises have the potential to create even more jobs in 2014 if the government reforms some of its policies. Franchisees' top concerns right now include health care, government regulation, taxes and labor regulation.
Check out the infographic below on the state of the franchise economy in terms of jobs, growth, policy and what to expect in the coming year.

The ultimate in realism...you won't want to put them down!
Full body silicone dolls are the must have for any collector, and you can certainly see why they are becoming so popular! The full body means no cloth to cover up so dressing them has become limitless, and the varying grades of silicone means your baby can be super soft, squiggy and oh so cuddly.
Silicone has a great translucency to it which makes the finished skin look even more realistic than a vinyl doll, and they can be gently bathed and washed just as you would a little newborn! Incorporating an open mouth with a tongue and even gums is guaranteed to astound. No more modified dummies or bottles with these stunning babies!
As you can imagine, a tremendous amount of work goes into creating these dolls. Over several months I sculpted my full body baby in clay with a great deal of reference pictures, and from observations while print taking. No deatil was left untouched or forgotten. Once complete, a very time consuming silicone jacket/fibreglass mould was created. Having learnt all the necessary complex techniques at University I was able to do this entirely myself. Once the one piece mould was removed from the sculpt, it was ready to pour. This is quite possibly the most stressful thing ever! Once the expensive silicone is mixed you have 30mins to fill the entire mould before it begins to set...and this goes very quickly! Before pouring I degass my silicone to remove all the nasty little air bubbles which like to creap to the surface of the skin, and then I pressurise my mould/cast to make sure that any air bubbles that have got in the silicone are shrunk down, leaving a perfect...bubble free baby! I carefully created a mould that would leave no seams too, so once the baby is removed from the mould it is ready to be painted to perfection : )
Please visit the "Tiggi", "Portraint Babies" and "Amelia Rose" tabs under the menu for information on specific babies.
I DO NOT use additives to soften my silicone as this can cause the silicone to deteroriate faster.
Please consider this when choosing your silicone firmness as I have found the popular eco30 to be suprisingly firm when used neat. I pour all my babies in NEAT ecoflex 10 as I find it produces a lovely naturally floppy baby.
