Teacher Kicks Student
Lubbock , Texas -
(KCBD) A Lubbock, Texas teaching aide has been fired after accusations that she abused a special needs student at Bean Elementary School.
The incident happened Friday after school and was witnessed by a grandparent who was picking up a student from school.
"I could hear a lady say get up, get up real loud and bad and I could hear someone crying," said Gloria Deatherage. "I could see the doors to the classroom closed and the lights off so I looked through the window and I saw a little boy lying down and I see the teacher kicking him."
That's when Gloria opened the door and confronted the teaching assistant.

ExxonMobil GHG Reductions 2013
Company | Exxon Mobil Corporation |
Filer | Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment |
Year | 2013 |
Sector | Oil and Gas |
Subject(s) | Air Pollution; Climate Change; Greenhouse Gas Emissions |
Resolved Clause Summary | Adopt quantitative GHG goals for products and operations |
Status | Vote: 26.7% |
Increasing data reveals the negative consequences of the increase of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2012, 60% of the United States experienced a severe drought. The consequent increase in food prices is expected to rise as much as 4.5% next year. Superstorm Sandy wrecked devastation, including loss of life, homes, businesses, closed trading on the New York Stock Exchange, and incurred losses projected at more than $75 billion.
2011 set another record for world carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with a 3.2 percent increase over the 2010 global estimate to 34.83 billion tons. This international increase was reflected in a net increase of 3.2 percent in ExxonMobil's GHG emissions from operations in 2011 over 2010 .
The Carbon Disclosure Project's "Carbon Action Initiative" is supported by investors managing $10 trillion in assets. It asks the world's largest companies to publically disclose targets to reduce carbon emissions and to implement investments in projects to realize reductions through the established CDP annual survey. CDP reports "High emitting companies that set absolute emissions reduction targets achieved reductions double the rate of those without targets with 10% higher firm-wide profitability."
ExxonMobil's "2012 Outlook for Energy: A View to 2040" suggests it will make significant investments in deepwater, shale oil and fracking plays; yet all of these contribute significant GHGs emissions. None of its publicized major strategies to date are low-carbon.
Although governments, including the U.S., resist taking significant steps to reduce emissions, fearing taxpayer backlash, the data above shows that, sooner or later, restrictions on carbon emissions will be necessary. Indeed, in its 2012 Annual Energy Outlook, the International Energy Agency (IEA) states, "No more than one-third of proven reserves of fossil fuels can be consumed prior to 2050 if the world is to achieve the 2°C goal..." This has led economists to fear a "carbon bubble" as current investments may be stranded.
Low Carbon Fuel Standards and the recent EPA Fuel Efficiency Standard requiring autos to average 54.5 MPG by 2025 demand the development of a new generation of fuels that will be economically and environmentally sustainable.
While ExxonMobil investors have requested the company to set GHG reduction goals in operations and products for six years, management has failed to do so. Creating clear-cut goals will focus management on our company's need to significantly reduce our carbon footprint by implementing a disciplined business strategy to cut emissions from our operations and products. Investors expect ExxonMobil to take leadership in developing solutions to this global challenge as the company plays such a critical role in energy markets.
RESOLVED: Shareholders request that the Board of Directors adopt quantitative goals, based on current technologies, for reducing total greenhouse gas emissions from the Company's products and operations; and that the Company report to shareholders by November 30, 2013, on its plans to achieve these goals. Such a report will omit proprietary information and be prepared at reasonable cost.

Hello guys,
I have a form on some pages and I'm trying to make submit button disabled when user submits form.
I googled for it and found this solution:
But it doesn't work. How can I make this code work?
i dont know much about this keyword i'am little confuse use that keyword if not used at oop coding.
have a read to this tutorialhttp://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom_obj_form.asp
that is enough easy for navigating the form as you like after reading the tutorial
Try the onsubmit event of the form.
Don't leave 'return false' in there, it stops the form submitting.
Perhaps you've just forgotten the closing quotation mark.
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="this.disabled=true;">
Although I agree with r51 in that javascript should be kept outside the HTML, in the <head>.
Thanks. This code works.
What do you mean? I should remove line "return false" from the code?
I think returning false should have no effect on the form submission. If you were to want to stop it submitting you would have to use preventDefault() for non-IE browsers and window.event.returnValue = false for IE.
Quotation mark is there, but onclick="this.disabled=true;" doesn't work.
<input type="submit" onclick="this.disabled=true">
This works for me in Firefox. I clicked and it disabled itself. Don't see why it shouldn't work in other browsers.
I'm pretty sure 'return false' at the end of the onsubmit event handler prevents submission. It certainly does for the code I posted.I think when you start to use the more flexible event model with listeners, then you need to start working with preventDefault etc.
You use return false when it's an inline event handler and the others when it isn't. That's how it is with onclick and onmouseover at least, so I would expect it to be the same for onsubmit.

A dear friend once asked me, "Leon, if you could choose just one, which would you take: character or anointing?" I asked him what he was getting at. He went on to share some examples of anointed people who lacked credibility because of their lack of character.
I told my friend that as believers we should not desire one over the other; anointing and character must exist together as two equal forces in our lives.
To be a Christian means to be like the Anointed One, and that means to be truly Spirit-filled. Ephesians 5:18 instructs us to be filled with the Spirit, for this is the way of true Christian living.
But being filled with the Spirit does not excuse us from the necessity of developing character traits that confirm the reality of Christ in us. To be filled with the Spirit requires us to be Christlike, meaning that our attitudes, motives, words and deeds must be pure.
If we do not conduct our lives in a way that corresponds to the description of the Spirit-filled life in the Bible, we are a contradiction. If we have character but no spiritual passion, we are merely good, moral citizens. And though a good, moral life is commendable, it is not enough.
A person of character, virtue and dignity must also be a God-possessed person overflowing with spiritual zeal; these two aspects go hand-in-hand and are absolutely inseparable. Barnabas exemplified this balanced kind of life: He was a man of character who was also zealous for God.
As a result, he won many people to Christ. The Bible tells us: "For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord" (Acts 11:24, NKJV).
True spirituality is not evidenced by our ability to quote from the Bible, pray eloquently, lay hands on the sick or cast out demons. Rather, it is evidenced by the way we treat one another.
As I left the sanctuary one night after a powerful revival meeting, I noticed a small group standing around one of the ushers. From their scowls and animated gestures, I gathered they were not engaged in passionate prayer.
When I began walking toward them to find out what was going on, I was told that a disgruntled couple was reprimanding the usher because he had asked their teenage daughters to stop talking while I had been preaching. In fact, I had seen him go over to the girls to quietly ask them to stop disrupting the meeting.
Just a short while earlier, these parents had been lost in worship, standing with uplifted hands and tightly shut, tear-filled eyes. The anointing and presence of God had filled the house, yet not five minutes later we had a boxing match in the making.
What happened? Where was the anointing?
The anointing does not remove personality, emotions or free will, nor does it guarantee that we will do or say the right thing in the right way. Remember Peter, who, moments after being commended for recognizing Jesus as the Christ, was rebuked for not being mindful of the things of God.
Jesus said to him: "'Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men'" (Matt. 16:23, NKJV). As powerful as it is, the anointing will not inexorably lead us to always do or say the right thing; neither will it replace the need for character.
D.L. Moody used to say that "character is what you are in the dark" when there is no one looking, no one listening. It is the thought, the desire, the intention that counts in the sight of God. We should not present a different personality in public than we do in private; there should be consistency between who we are and who we appear to be.
Character is the measure of our Christ-likeness.
There is no denying that we need more of the anointing in our lives, but we also need character. Some who desire a deep walk with God in the realms of the anointing will invest much time and effort in reading books. I believe they would do well to invest equal time in the development of their character.
As the many examples of gifted Christians around us make clear, being anointed does not guarantee maturity or character. We can have power without the traits listed above--but in the end this one-sidedness will lead to our demise.
On the other hand, it's important to remember that we all have growing up to do; none of us has arrived or is fully developed and conformed to the image of Jesus. We are Christians under construction--and making a mistake or acting immaturely in a particular instance does not mean we lack character.

The Central Bank today publishes the latest data on mortgage arrears, restructures and repossessions for the period ended December 2011. The figures show that 9.2% of private residential mortgage accounts are in arrears of over 90 days.[1]
Director of Consumer Protection, Bernard Sheridan, emphasised the importance of consumers struggling with mortgage repayments, or those who fear they will fall into arrears, to make contact with their lender as early as possible. He said: 'It is important that borrowers cooperate fully with their lenders in order to be able to avail of the protections under the Central Bank's revised Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears.'
At the end of December 2011, there are 768,917 private residential mortgage accounts held in the Republic of Ireland to a value of €113.5 billion. The stock of accounts continues to decline from the 794,609 that were held at the end of September 2009 when this data series commenced. Of the current stock of accounts, 70,911, or 9.2%, are in arrears of more than 90 days. This compares with 62,970 accounts (8.1% of total) that were in arrears of greater than 90 days at the end of September 2011.
Restructuring Arrangements
The data also show there was a total stock of 74,379 accounts that were categorised as restructured at the end of December 2011. This is a 6.7% increase from the stock of 69,735 restructures at the end of September 2011. Of this total, 36,797 are not in arrears and are performing as per the restructured arrangement. The balance of restructured accounts (37,582) has arrears of varying categories (arrears of both less than and greater than 90 days). Therefore, 107,708[2] accounts are either in arrears of over 90 days or have been restructured and are performing as at the end of December 2011. Arrangements whereby at least the interest only portion of the mortgage is being met account for just over half of all restructure types (51%)[3].
The fourth quarter 2011 of the data series is also the first reporting period which includes data on accounts that have been restructured under the voluntary forbearance arrangement: Deferred Interest Scheme (DIS).
During the quarter ended December 2011, legal proceedings were issued to enforce the debt/security on a mortgage in 95 cases comprising arrears totalling €13.9 million built up on loans equating to €37.8 million. 187 court proceedings were concluded in this quarter, of which the Courts granted orders for possession/sale in 109 cases.
133 properties were taken into possession by lenders during the quarter, of which 50 were repossessed on foot of Court Orders and the balance following voluntary surrender or abandonment. The total number of properties taken into possession this quarter represents a drop of 18% (from 162 properties) compared with quarter three 2011. 118 properties were disposed of in the quarter, meaning lenders held 895 properties at the end of December 2011.
During 2011, the Central Bank published a Consumer Guide on the new mortgage arrears code and Frequently Asked Questions .

View Residential Mortgage Arrears and Repossesion Statistics - Trend to December 2011
Note for Editors
This is the first reporting period that includes data on accounts restructured under a Deferred Interest Scheme (DIS). The Expert Group on Mortgage Arrears and Personal Debt's final report published in November 2010 (Cooney Report) included in their recommendations that lenders offer a DIS arrangement to borrowers struggling with their mortgage repayments. The DIS should enable borrowers who can pay at least 66% of their mortgage interest (but less than the full interest) to defer payment of the unpaid interest for up to 5 years. When the accumulated amount in the deferred interest account is equal to a total of 18 months interest, or when the borrower has participated in the DIS for up to 5 years, the mortgage may be deemed to be unsustainable. The DIS is a voluntary offering from lenders, but a majority of the market have implemented or are in the process of implementing a DIS or equivalent scheme.
Figures on arrears and repossessions were first published by the Central Bank for the quarter ending September 2009. Restructures data were first published for the quarter ending December 2010. All figures are available at www.centralbank.ie

Economic Calendar Terms |
The trade report is most widely watched for trends in the overall trade balance. But trends in both exports and imports of goods and services bear watching as well. The export data in particular are important to watch for indications that a strengthening competitive position at home and/or strengthening economies overseas are boosting U.S. growth. Imports provide an indication of domestic demand, but given the severe lag of this report relative to other consumption indicators, it is not particularly valuable for this purpose.
The volatility in the monthly trade balance can play an important role in GDP forecasts. Net exports are a relatively volatile component of GDP, and the trade report provides the only early clues to the net export performance each quarter.

Mediaset Swings to Quarterly Loss on Slump in Italian TV Ads
Daniele LepidoMediaset SpA, the broadcaster controlled by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, reported a second-quarter loss as a slowdown in southern Europe cut demand for advertising.
The net loss was 8.1 million euros ($10.9 million) compared with a 20.8 million-euro profit a year earlier, the Milan-based company said yesterday. Sales were little changed at 904 million euros. That compared with the average analyst estimate for a 12.5 million-euro net loss and revenue of 907.8 million euros, according to a Bloomberg survey.
The shares fell 2 percent to 3.09 euros at 9:14 a.m. in Milan. They have fallen 11 percent this year, giving the company a market value of 3.6 billion euros.
Mediaset is working to improve profit by cutting spending and selling stakes in businesses following declines in its southern European markets. The company, which competes with Rupert Murdoch's Sky Italia, is also investing in sports rights and content to lure higher-paying customers. It may face stronger competition after British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc agreed to buy Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland AG stakes last week from Murdoch's 21st Century Fox Inc.
Mediaset is considering a content partnership with Spain's Telefonica SA in Italy and elsewhere, Chief Financial Officer Marco Giordani said on a conference call. He confirmed a full-year sales target of 550 million euros for pay-TV unit Premium.
Second-quarter earnings before interest and taxes dropped to 79.9 million euros from 80.2 million euros a year earlier, Mediaset said.
Premium Partner
Telefonica agreed this month to buy an 11 percent stake in Premium for 100 million euros. The company also bought Mediaset's 22 percent holding in Spanish TV operator Distribuidora de Television Digital for 295 million euros.
Mediaset is also looking for another partner to buy a stake in Premium. Al Jazeera and Vivendi SA are among the potential bidders, a person familiar with the matter has said. Deputy Chairman Pier Silvio Berlusconi met Vivendi Chairman Vincent Bollore last week in Milan to discuss a possible investment in the Italian pay-TV service, news agency Radiocor reported.
As part of its strategy to gain exclusive content, in February, Mediaset won UEFA Champions League TV rights during the 2015-2018 period, bidding about 700 million euros for the soccer matches. In June, it won the right to show 248 matches of eight top-division Italian soccer league teams with an offer of 373 million euros.
BSkyB's deal with Fox is valued at more than $9 billion, including BSkyB's 21 percent stake in National Geographic Channel as part of the payment for Sky Italia, and will create a pan-European pay-TV business with 20 million customers in five countries.

Instead of just slapping on five creams—then washing your face because, seriously, that stuff is heavy—follow the lead of the pros.
1. Start light. Serums—the thinnest products—go first, because a) that just makes sense and b) "they deliver active ingredients into the skin most efficiently," says Ranella Hirsch, a dermatologist in Boston. Plus, they're easy to customize. Pick two or three serums that each treat one of your concerns: formulas with peptides for wrinkles (we like Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum), salicylic acid for oily skin (try Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Serum), and licorice or aloe to calm redness (like First Aid Beauty Anti-Redness Serum).
2. Add an antioxidant. Vitamin C is one ingredient every skin type needs. "It brightens, protects against sun damage, and promotes collagen production," says cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson, who recommends using a potent serum (such as Obagi Professional-C Serum 15%).
3. Take a coffee break. "If you give each product a minute to dry, it won't pill," says Fredric Brandt, a dermatologist in New York City and Miami. "I flow my skin care in with the rest of my morning routine. For example, I put on a product, have coffee, then put on a second product, then brush my teeth."
4. Lock it down. Moisturizer is key to any layering routine because "it seals serums on your skin, which can make them more effective," says Wilson. Feel free to keep it basic: Try Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 for normal and oily skin and Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer for dry skin.
5. Know when to go in reverse. If your sensitive skin reddens at the thought of using even one treatment product, try putting on a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer first and then serums on top. "The cream will reduce the potency of the serums," says Hirsch, "but they'll also be less likely to cause irritation."
6. Add an oil. In small doses, oils make skin radiant. Put them on dry areas after creams—as a rule, oils can penetrate moisturizers, but not vice versa. We like L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Glow Renewal Facial Oil, with sunflower-seed and jojoba oils. Skip the oil if you're wearing more than two serums under your moisturizer, though—at some point, you can't avoid looking greasy.
7. Don't forget protection. "Sunscreen is your last step in the morning," says Jeannette Graf, a dermatologist in Great Neck, New York. "It sits on top of your skin, so if it goes on first, it prevents other ingredients from penetrating." Coppertone ClearlySheer Faces for Sunny Days SPF 30 is lightweight enough to layer over multiple products.
8. Have a nightcap. It's not as sexy as a snifter of whiskey. But ending your nighttime routine with a retinoid makes you look a whole lot younger. (Every dermatologist recommends this anti-aging superingredient.) "I put my retinol over a serum and a cream—moisturizing helps retinol to penetrate better with less irritation," says Brandt, who uses his own Dr. Brandt Do Not Age Transforming Pearl Serum and Time Reversing Cream.

October is New York is a fun month. We've been having great weather and there have been several design events happening as well. There have been so many events it's been hard to attend them all. Yesterday I had the opportunity to stop by the tabletop show hosted by Luxe Magazine at Forty One Madison. It was great to see the trends happening in table top and the new products being offered. I had a great time walking around the Lenox floor. I had always thought of Lenox as traditional, something my mother used. But after seeing the new designs created by Kate Spade, Aerin, DKNY, Donna Karan and more, I've changed my mind. I want it all! Here's a bit of what I saw.
Next week I'll be at High Point Market in High Point, North Carolina. I'll be visiting Hooker Furniture, Klaussner and more. I'll be blogging throughout the week but you can catch me in real time on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Here are some links I loved this week:

I have these muffins I like to make every now and then that are filled with zucchini, carrot and all kinds of good stuff, so the other day when I was feeling like whipping up a batch I asked P if he could pick me up some zucchini on his way home. I figured 4 or 5 would be plenty, but what I didn't realize is that he went to the land of giant vegetables and out of the 5 zucchinis he picked up, I only used one. So, stuck with 4 huge ass zucchinis that I didn't want to go to waste, I ferociously searched through my magazines in search of zucchini recipes. I'm not usually a fan of recipes that have vegetables masquerading as pasta, why deny yourself of something as perfect as pasta…ok, I can understand it if you're celiac….or eating healthy…or you have zucchini you need to use up….ok, I get it. That didn't change the fact that I didn't have high hopes for this dish, yeah it got good reviews but I kept envisioning taking the casserole dish out of the oven and ending up with a big watery mess. Oh ye have little faith.
The first step involves sprinkling salt on the sliced zucchini and patting it with paper towels, so right there in the very first step the watery dilemma has been solved. The recipe calls for store bought marinara, if you're feeling a little more ambitious then I was then feel free to make your own but I figured why make something more complicated then it needs to be. I picked up a bottle of Presidents Choice Sweet Basil marinara, which is not too shabby I might add. This lasagna actually turned not just good but pretty damn good! I'm still not 100% sold on the vegetable/pasta issue but I was impressed by how sneaky those zucchini were into fooling me that I was eating pasta. I loved the quinoa filling, the addition of tofutti made it nice and creamy; I may store that recipe in the little back corner of my mind to pull out when I'm in need of a filling for stuffed peppers or something.
I'm pretty sure my favourite lasagna will always be the recipe in Nonna's Italian Kitchen, but for a lighter and quicker lasagna, this one was pretty decent. The fact that it has less calories because of the zucchini was kind of moot on my part since I went a little overboard with the Daiya, I had an open bag in the fridge and I figured if I was gonna use it I might as well use it all. Well I guess there was more in there then I thought and once I started going I couldn't stop myself, no point in keeping the bag when there's only a tiny little amount, that's like putting the orange juice back in the fridge when there's only a couple drops left. Whatever, it made the dish extra awesome. I did have a salad with it though, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear about that, I've got to spread this stuff out otherwise I'll have nothing to talk about!

Rakovsky out for six weeks
Goalkeeping crisis for Hecking after shot-stopper breaks finger
By Thomas Zocher. Last Updated: 12/09/11 3:51pm
Nurnberg are facing a goalkeeping crisis after Patrick Rakovsky was ruled out for up to six weeks with a broken finger.
Rakovsky: Broken finger
The setback comes in the wake of captain and first-choice shot-stopper Raphael Schafer's leg injury, which is expected to leave him unavailable for three months.
Nurnberg will now have to call on third choice goalkeeper Alexander Stephan or reserve team shot-stopper Benjamin Uphoff and manager Dieter Hecking is concerned by the latest setback.
Hecking told Bayerischer Rundfunk media: "It is a blow, of course.
"We have our skipper, Raphael Schafer, out with an injury and it is believed now Patrick Rakovsky will take perhaps the same amount of time to recover from his injury."

Danny Welbeck responded a minute later with his fifth goal in his last five league matches but it was another tame home display by United, which is now 11 points behind leader Arsenal.
"The margin of error has been slim for a long time,'' United manager David Moyes said of his team's title hopes.
United has dropped more points after 20 games this campaign (26) than it did all last season (25), and notched just one win over the current top nine.
Visiting teams are coming to Old Trafford with more confidence and belief in the post-Alex Ferguson era. Tottenham was no exception and continued its revival under new manager Tim Sherwood, who has picked up 10 points from a possible 12 since replacing Andre Villas-Boas.
Spurs climbed above United into sixth, two points off fourth-place Liverpool.
"It is about letting (the players) have their head and go out and enjoy themselves,'' Sherwood said. "We have all played in the street. Sometimes you need to take it back to that.''
Adebayor has been central to Spurs' improvement, and he has now scored three goals and set up two others in his last four games since returning to the first team after being overlooked by Villas-Boas.
His goal was a classic striker's finish, drifting to the back post and beating back-pedaling fullback Chris Smalling with a downward header into the corner from Eriksen's pinpoint cross.
Aaron Lennon and Roberto Soldado squandered good chances in the first half and United's frustrations built, with Rooney booked for a blatant tug on Eriksen and Welbeck avoiding a yellow card despite a dive in the penalty area.
Moyes removed Smalling and holding midfielder Michael Carrick to go on all-out attack for the final 30 minutes but United was caught on the counter-attack for Eriksen's goal.
Adebayor launched the move and Soldado fed Lennon, who burst into the box and sent in a cross that deflected up off Nemanja Vidic. Eriksen nipped ahead of Antonio Valencia to head home from six yards out.
The two-goal cushion lasted barely a minute as Adnan Januzaj curled through a pass that Welbeck seized upon, before chipping the outrushing Hugo Lloris for a fine finish.
Spurs hung on in the final stages, with Lloris' reckless lunge at Ashley Young just inside the penalty area going unpunished. Moyes was incredulous at the decision of referee Howard Webb, saying: "I thought it was scandalous. It's a scandal.''
"You'd hope the people who put the referees out there would have a look at it and look to see if they think the referees are doing as well as they can be,'' Moyes added in a lengthy attack on Webb, arguably English football's top referee.
Spurs had gone 23 years without a league win at Old Trafford until a 3-2 victory last season. Now they have won there two seasons in a row.
Adebayor was carried off on a stretcher and Sherwood said he was unsure whether the striker would be fit to play against former club Arsenal in a north London derby in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
"He has ice on everything,'' Sherwood said, without specifying the injury. "He doesn't know what is hurting him more.''

I just went to Amok Time and they have 12" Padme, Anakin with Mechanical arm and Geonosian Instock Now!!! :D

I just went to Amok Time and they have 12" Padme, Anakin with Mechanical arm and Geonosian Instock Now!!! :D
i don't believe it. why don't they post photos other than those from entertainment earth or the hasbro site? usually before dealers get these in stock, this site or others have detailed loose and boxed photos of the product. when they post some new loose and boxed photos, i'll believe it.;) untill then, i wouldn't order them.
they are not on e-bay either. everytime, these kinds of things show up on e-bay way,way before they even get near the united states. but i'm happy if i'm wrong.:evil:
Sounds a bit fishy to me as well.
were you actually at their store? i see you are in new york, and that's where amok time is. if you're saying you actually saw them, then, how did they look? please tell me padme's head is smaller and anakin's head is better than the doogie howser prototype.:)Quote:

Yes, I live very close to the store unfortunetly I have not been there but I also think something is wrong here this site usually gets pics of boxed items and close up images of the lose product. I'm Sorry if I got anyone mad I just saw that on their site it said Episode II 12'' Series 3 instock. Again, I'm sorry if I got any one excited or angry. :(
-The True Maul-
no need to apologize. we all appreciate the info. personally i hope they do have them. that means others will have them soon as well. if possible, go over there in the next day or 2. i'm very curious and hopeful that hasbro imprioved these a bit before release. i'm only suspisious because these aren't on e-bay. even amok time sells stuff on e-bay. they could easily sell these for at least $40 each, since no one has them, which is why exhaust port is correct, "something is fishy".:)Quote:
Again, I'm sorry if I got any one excited or angry
Sorry I can't go to their to there store because I have a lot of work to do. But I notice one thing about Amok Time they are always getting new products before anyone else does, but usually a feww weeks after they get it the retail stores get it so maybe this means they will be in stores very soon.:)
I hope your right True Maul. It's been pretty quiet on the 12" front over the last few months.
well, this wave has now popped up on e-bay. see the main news page for links. anakin and padme look bad, as in horrible. they look like custom figures, and not very good ones at that. the anakin head looks to be badly painted and not a good sculpt. it looks like some of my attempts at painting.
padme's head is smaller, but looks nothing like the prototype. she also looks deathly pale. and the geo warrior,i was never impressed with. this could possibly be the worst wave of 12 inch figures hasbro has ever released.:cry:
Even though they aren't the best, I bid on Geonosian Warrior anyway. But I do agree with you Derek about Anakin and Padme, but the way the picture was taken maybe the cause of Padme being pale.:)

NEW YORK (AP) — Police have increased their presence in New York City neighborhoods still struggling with the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
The Staten Island Advance (http://bit.ly/12Qeo2C ) says break-ins left some residents on the island so frustrated and angry that they'd talked of setting booby traps and administering vigilante justice.
In at least eight houses, thieves cut out recently-installed copper piping. That caused flooding in homes that were just a few weeks away from becoming habitable again.
Police made several quick arrests. But they're not taking any chances.
Ten patrol cars are being dedicated around the borough's east shore.
Deputy Inspector Joseph Veneziano says the patrols will focus on areas where some houses still remain vacant. They include Ocean Breeze, Midland Beach and part of Oakwood.

Organize and reorganize in minutes: Garage storage system design
Rearrange, reorganize, add on, make room for new stuff. It's as easy as lifting off the hangers and putting them somewhere else. There's nothing complicated about this storage system. The matching bevels and gravity hold the hangers securely until you want to move them. And you can build the whole system with just two power tools—a circular saw and a drill. What could be simpler!
Garage storage design, materials and tools
The problem with organizing garages is that there are so many different kinds of things to store that it's overwhelming trying to decide how to do it. But with this system, you don't have to worry about the ultimate positioning of all your hooks and shelves because you can rearrange them at will. And you don't have to plan ahead for future storage needs either. You can easily add on to the system just by assembling more hangers and rearranging the existing ones. Once the beveled strips are attached, you never have to locate a stud or use drywall anchors to hang hooks or other hardware. Just screw them to an appropriate-size wood-cleat hanger and put them up wherever you want.
The system consists of beveled strips that are screwed to the wall studs, and custom-made wooden hangers that lock onto the strips. We built everything with utility plywood, which costs about $45 a sheet. You can cut enough strips from a 4 x 8-ft. sheet to cover a 12-ft.-long wall. And you can assemble enough hangers, tool totes and other miscellaneous holders from another 4 x 8 sheet to get a good start on organizing your garage. See the Materials List in "Additional Information" below for other items you may need. We used four sheets of plywood to build everything you see in the photo.
It would be a little quicker to cut the parts using a table saw and a miter saw, but you don't need these tools; we'll show you how to safely and accurately cut all the parts using just a circular saw. You'll be surprised at how quickly and easily you can cut the parts with the help of a few simple saw guides. But before you start, make sure you have a sharp blade for your circular saw. To make clean, splinter-free cuts in plywood, we spent about $15 on a 40-tooth carbide blade. In addition to a circular saw and drill, you'll need a hammer, level, tape measure, pair of clamps, chalk line with dust-off chalk, and small and large rafter squares.
Wood Strips, Hangers, Shelves and Bins
The system consists and wood strips screwed to the wall and a variety of hangers, shelves, bins and whatever containers you dream up to hold special items like our golf bag holder! Work with whatever sections of garage wall you have open.
Cut the beveled strips
Cut the strips from a sheet of plywood. Photo 1 shows how. You won't be able to cut the narrow beveled strips from the last 10 or 12 in. of the plywood sheet with this guide. Instead, use the remaining wide strip for the totes or other wider parts.
Build a Saw Guide for Perfect Cuts
To make the saw guide, start by marking a line and cutting a 5-in.-wide strip from the edge of an uncut sheet of plywood (photo "Cutting a straightedge"). It doesn't matter if you don't saw perfectly straight because you'll only use the factory edge. Draw arrows toward the factory edge to identify it.
You could simply clamp this straightedge to the plywood as a saw guide, but then you would have to compensate for the distance from the guide to the saw blade every time. The photo "Building the saw guide" shows how to build a guide that you can line up with the cutting mark, a technique that is quicker and more accurate. Attach a 12-in.-wide strip of 1/4-in. plywood to the straightedge with short screws. Make sure to face the factory edge of the straightedge toward the excess base material. Then, with the saw set to a 45-degree bevel, run the saw's bed along the straightedge to cut off the excess base. To see a video on how to build this saw guide, download the September iPad edition.
Make another guide just like this one, except set the saw to cut 90 degrees when you cut off the excess 1/4-in. plywood. You can use the opposite edge of the same sheet of plywood for the straight edge. Use this guide for non-beveled cuts.
Mount the strips on the garage wall
To ensure that the strips are straight and level and that all the screws hit the center of the studs, make a grid of chalk lines. Start by drawing a level line to mark the bottom of the lowest strip (Photo 2). Then make marks every 12 in. above the line and connect the marks with chalk lines (Photo 3). Use special dust-off chalk—it's easily erasable.
Next, locate the center of a stud. Use a stud finder or knock on the wall until you feel and hear a solid spot. Then zero in on the center by probing with a nail (Photo 4). Do this above the lines, where the nail holes will be covered by the strips. Find both edges of the stud with the nail. Then mark the center. In most cases, studs are 16 in. apart, and you can measure from this first center mark to find the remaining studs. Whatever method you use, probe with a nail at each stud to make sure you hit solid wood. Make marks for the center of the studs at the top and bottom and connect the marks with chalk lines. With the grid done, it's easy to align and attach the strips (Photo 5).
Cut the hanger parts and assemble the hangers
With the saw guides, it's fast and easy to make long, table saw–quality cuts in plywood. But what about all those small parts? One problem with cutting small parts freehand is that it's hard to keep the cuts square. Another is that the cutoff pieces tend to fall away just before the cut is finished, creating a little torn-off section. You can solve both these problems, and make marks for repeatable cuts, by building two crosscut guides (See "Build simple guides for cutting small parts" below). We bought a 2 x 4-ft. piece of MDF at the home center, but you can use any flat scraps of plywood. Start by cutting two fence strips 1-3/8 in. wide by 3 or 4 ft. long. Then cut a 4-1/2-in.-wide strip and a 9-1/2-in.- wide strip for the base pieces. Use your straightedge saw guide to make these cuts. Glue and clamp the fence parts to the base pieces. Or you can glue and screw them. If you use screws, remove them after the glue sets.
"Build simple guides for cutting small parts" (below) shows how to use the crosscut guides. When you make the first cut, mark the location of the square on the crosscut guide. To make several parts that are the same length, measure from the saw kerf in the work support and make a mark. Line up the end of the material with this mark and align the clamp with the clamp mark.
With a little ingenuity, you can hang just about anything from these beveled strips. The golf bag holder and tote boxes are just a few ideas. We haven't included detailed plans because frankly, it doesn't really matter. Anything you can attach to a beveled cleat is fair game. Home centers, hardware stores and sporting goods stores all have hooks and brackets for hanging stuff. You just have to build a wooden cleat to screw them to. Have something to hang? Have fun inventing a new hanging bracket. When you're finished, your garage will be the envy of the neighborhood.
Build Simple Guides for Cutting Small Parts
Both of these crosscut guides are simple: All you need to do is glue a 1-3/8-in.-wide strip of plywood or MDF to a wider strip. Set the work-piece on the guide, clamp on a rafter square and run your saw along the square to get straight, precise cuts. This works for plain cuts or 45-degree bevels. It's best to have two widths and two sizes of rafter squares for different size parts.

@neversommer; you should have plenty of mixes especially if you are not setting the tailplanes up as tailerons.
4mixes for TV, 1mix for Stabilator. If you want to get creative, you can use the Vtail or delta mix on the tailerons, again 4 mixes for the TV and one each for the ailerons/flapperons to make it more to scale. Re servo reversers; I find they drift and can fail. By the time you spend $$$ for a reverser you may as well have bought a programmably reversable digital servo. Or you can solder the reverse your self. |
Just maddened my f18, absolutely amazing very stable, and fast. I didn't bring it Down low, but I'm sure it's approaching triple digits. I flew mine completely stock with the TV disabled. She burned probably 200ft of runway but I let her get plenty of speed,she was ready to fly by 120' or so.(off pavement) she didn't pop off the ground aggressively on rotation either all pretty stable. I'm flying with a 4000mah 30c pack. I had my timer set to 3:40 just to be safe, my next packs will be 5000mahs. for being my first large edf jet I am impressed and defiantly in love. I plan to get a twin 70mm f22 next
Hi, as I´m relatively new with EDFs(15 jears of large gliders) and the wide variety of supplies/brands is just too much at a glance, I´ve got hope some people here can answer a few questions quickly for me...
What servos(make/model) give best results/reliability vs. price for the F-18 ? Will a BEC not be a bit overstressed by 8/9 servos plus lights? (off topic but wondering...the LX twin 70mm EDFs have up to 17 servos. Do they have 10A BECs or multiple or what???) Better fly with separate receiver battery? Whats the best fitting Lipo for longest flt. time? And last... is there some software out there to compare best efficiency of motor/fan setups? Want to find THE best motor for Wemo Midifan on 6S Sorry for my lesser experience :-) |
The E-Flite 15-25 Electric retracts will do with a few modifications the best job, also they can hold up a pretty good weight Hope this helped Regards Neversommer |
Yes I know.. Its gonna be like a similar story like the eurofighter setup hmm?? Since I am using 2 same servos for the elevators, i need to mix 1 with the elevator so it will move the same direction like the other servo. I will be flying with TV turned on but 1 with higher movement then the other for take offs and landing. I think a 4500mah battery will be the best bet for weight and cg purposes, however a 5000 mah battery would be even better but I may end up with cg issues. The Starmax F-18 balances out very nicely in comparison to a 4000 mah battery and the cg is spot on. Lets see how it turns out The mixing part will require some hard time I think regards neversommer |
Mike |
Not a Problem at all Viper.
The biggest modifications to be done is the nose steering wheel, basically that will be the part where the biggest mods needs to be done. You can either choose to keep the plastic mounts on the rear retracts or to exchange them with self made wooden mount blocks which will hold up better for the long term regards neversommer |
If you are going for taileron then you'd use the delta mix, an external mixer or need more channels. As for the TV with the 4 mixes you can set the TV to three different throws and expo. I just keep the TV at max throw, or max travel as long as the TV doesn't bind, since its not a flight surface. I'd set different levels of expo. |

Are E-flite retracts and Super Hornet retracts the same?
So Maxthrottle, are you saying that the electric retracts on the Hobby Lobby Super Hornet are actually the same as the E-flite .15 - .25 retracts? It they are, they should work on the Starmax F-18.
Regarding the struts on the Super Hornet, can someone please tell me what the distance is from the bottom of the fuselage to the centre of the wheel axle of the main gear when the strut is "compressed"? Thanks in advance! Mike |
Viper this is off topic for the build thread but single answer and you can PM me to continue the conversation.
More a cross breed of a RCLander with a Eflite but they are rated the same. These are taller than Eflites but judge for yourself; FW Eurofighter retracts http://rc-castle.com/shop/product_in...oducts_id=1695 I meantioned to Jason that since these appear to be Eflite retracts they would not sit flush for the Euro main gear bay since these retracts are about 22mm deep. I just noticed HL have taken the links to the future Euro retract that Jason had mentioned down from the HL site part list. Jason mentioned the same that was on the F18 was going to be used on the Euro. The Euro s come in at 5.5-6.2 lbs. FW F18 retract See pictures below Horizon Eflite Retracts The main difference of Eflites to these is the Nose retract is different. Note one persons comment regarding the difference between the 10-15 and the 15-25 ; https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...1&postcount=23 look at th close ups of the Eflites https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...mentid=3026034 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...mentid=3026035 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...mentid=3548230 The size and shape, brass trunnion axle, screw patterns are all the same. The mount patterns may be wider on the Eflites. The only thing that may differ is the electronics which after looking at ChangeSun, RCLanders, Eflites and now the FW all appear to be the same. Eflites go for $125 http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=EFLG230 but when HL had them posted they were for $69 and RCCastle has them for $63. The main difference of the Eflite retracts is the nose retract with the reversed type mount. On the F18 and Future Euro Retract they just used another main gear type retract, didn't lock it in place to freely steer and added a steering arm. The Strut wire goes through that brass trunnion axle and on the 10-15 it is drilled to 3.5mm but on the 15-25 its drilled to 4.5mm. Theres another pic somewhere either in this build thread or the other that shows the F18 strut wire thickness to be 4.5mm (which is why I kept asking for anyone to post the strut dia. I forgot the name but again thank you). Since HL updated their site likely to release the new version of the Euro on black friday, but because there shipments times are iffy I ordered a set from RCCastle. I'll post pics once it arrives. The struts are obviously different but should be able to accomadate the range of struts from http://www.smartmodel.com.hk/product...51&third_id=86 that have 5mm strut wires and handle from 40 -120 sized models. Or you can go old school with wire struts like the Eflite retracts. Nothing against Horiz but when I started seeing the price differences on stock from HK and the like I realized to be watchful of sourcing this stuff direct from other Vendors if the stuff was available. Take a look at EC3 and EC5 bullets from Hor vs HK. |

Flew the jet twice yesterday... the first time was the first flight after the strengthening of the stabilators. It was way out of trim (yay) but once I trimmed it out it flew fine.
The second flight was done once it got dark and it was out of trim, again, although it was just the ailerons. I think it's the cheapo servos aren't holding center, and since I have a lot invested in this plane, I'm going to change the elevator and aileron servos to something stronger and more reliable. And whoever put "the plane can be flown at night by an experience pilot" in the manual was dead wrong.... you cannot see those lights at night, period. The only light visible was the nose-gear light. Made two circuits, landed, and considered myself lucky as I lost orientation many many times during those two circuits due to the low visibility of the lights. Lesson learned, and I was lucky! |
ditto on the servos. I found much the same after going thru 33 of them. They are ok for a clean TV and small stuff like doors etc. but on the main flight surfaces I couldn't trust them. Few ever centered and almost all of them buzzed.
Night flight; good to hear it didn't freak you out. I tried it on one of my Euros at dusk and realized if I can't see the ground the lights wouldn't matter. Had to put my cloths in the laundry as soon as I got home after sweating buckets. They could use 10mm LED Superbrights instead but even then it has to be really close in field flying. |
Definitely going to upgrade the servos. |
Mike great info here ...i hav'nt read the whole thing but the take off proplem you had ....when you chopped the power and the plane came off the ground .that is a thrust line issue ...i guess you could try putting some up thrust in it and then sucuring your nozzles ....if you already fixed this issue than good for you ...i just did'nt have time to read the whole thread.
I ordered new servos last night, 4 Hitec HS-65HB servos for the ailerons and elevators. |
