The statewide ballot initiative to label genetically engineered food known as Proposition 37 was soundly defeated on Election Day but drew strong support along California's liberal coast.
While trounced by voters statewide 53 percent to 47 percent, the measure was endorsed by more than 65 percent of voters in San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Humboldt counties. It was rejected in nearly all of the more conservative inland counties, including the state's agricultural center of Fresno, Kern, Kings and Tulare counties. In Fresno County, 63.6 percent voted no while 36.4 percent voted yes. The measure won in farm-heavy Imperial County and the Sierra Nevada mountain counties of Mono and Alpine.
The geographic divide highlighted the challenges that Proposition 37 had reaching and appealing to voters in more rural and conservative parts of the state, particularly in counties where agriculture is a huge part of the local economy.
"This is a story about money," Stacy Malkan, media director of the Proposition 37 campaign, said Wednesday. "Our loss had to do with being outspent. We didn't have the funds to compete on the air in the central regions of the state."
Kathy Fairbanks, a spokeswoman for the No on 37 campaign, said Wednesday that initiative supporters underestimated the views of California farmers.
"We had the overwhelming majority of groups representing family farmers and those who depend on California's agriculture industry," Fairbanks said. "They didn't like that Prop. 37 would have put family farmers in California at a competitive disadvantage."
Supporters of Proposition 37 said Wednesday that efforts to require labels on genetically modified foods are now shifting to other states. Signature gathering is under way for a similar ballot initiative in Washington state in November 2013, along with legislative efforts to require labeling in Connecticut and Vermont.
A petition effort is also under way to get the federal Food and Drug Administration to take up the issue of labeling. There will also be renewed pressure on President Barack Obama in his second term to support labeling.
In a postelection conference call with journalists Wednesday, the Yes on Proposition 37/California Right to Know campaign said the election results, while disappointing, were not surprising given the $46 million raised by the No side.
St. Louis-based Monsanto, a leading maker of genetically engineered seeds, was the largest single contributor with $8.1 million. The Yes side raised $9.2 million, with the largest contribution coming from Joseph Mercola, a popular holistic health activist from Illinois.
"We fought Monsanto and DuPont to a standstill last night," said Dave Murphy, executive director of Food Democracy Now. "More than 4 million Californians are on record saying they want to know what's in their food. This is a dynamic moment for the food movement."

Abstract: | In this review of research in applied linguistics and language teaching and learning in Singapore, more than one hundred national publications for the period 2000–2007 will be reviewed. Since this period encompasses certain changes that were introduced in Singapore schools at the start of the new millennium, it would be appropriate to take stock of the studies that showcase these changes. These studies fall under five main areas of local research: norms, standards and models; English language curriculum and policy; reading and writing instruction and research; mother tongue teaching and learning; and the teaching of English to international students. In this review, representative work under each research area will be discussed, and this will be done within the broad historical and sociopolitical context of research in Singapore. The results of the review suggest that practical concerns assume priority over theoretical issues, which are relegated to secondary importance. This can be explained in terms of the role of the state in education reform and governance and its top–down decision-making processes, the impact of globalization on education, and the role of education in the management of race relations in the country. |

The First Food Shots From Nacho Borracho
Kate Opatz and Rachel Marshall are on fire, and last night they opened Nacho Borracho to a slam-packed house. The pair behind the crazy-busy Montana Bar dreamed up this super-casual spot, no doubt over some strong cocktails. Everybody's welcome, of course, but it's a perfect playpen for industry types of late and looking for amped-up junk food with a twist. The lineup - including the loaded Sonoran Dog, pictured here - hits that mark using quality ingredients. Everything tastes fresh and vibrant, holding up to the lineup of frozen drinks and a wide range of beer on tap. Just don't expect your server to mention that the "local" tater tots come from Idaho. Brunch will start soon. 209 Broadway E.

Victoria's Secret is launching a new fragrance accompanied with a body care collection named VICTORIA. This perfume is fresh, sexy and totally irresistible—as announced by the house. It is constructed as a floral-fruity blend and contains everything that fans of Victoria's Secret fragrances like and recognize as the brand's signature.
The composition of the new fragrance Victoria opens with juicy, luminous notes of red berries. Luminous red berries surround and sweeten the Victoria rose placed in the heart of the composition, accompanied by a fine gourmand trail of crème brûlée in the base of the perfume. Sweet, romantic, sexy, exciting, gourmand … the new fragrance by Victoria's Secret will leave a full impression if used with the perfumed body lotion or perfumed body scent. Victoria arrives on the market as EAU DE PARFUM.

The flacon of Victoria is made of heavy glass and embellished with a pink ribbon on its neck. It was presented as 50 ml at the price of $52 and 100 ml for $68. Accompanying body care products are available as 250 ml (body mist) and 200 ml (body lotion). The collection is already available on the official website of the company.

i got to smell this fragrance and it is really nice up there with bombshell forever...the two new and best fragrances they have put out lately
Only a $16 difference between the 50ml and the 100ml? That's always a huge indicator to me that a fragrance will be incredibly cheap and way overpriced for what you get.
I purchased this fragrance yesterday. The Berry and Rose notes are very prominent and delicious. It has a very characteristic scent that is typical of V.S fragrance but never the less is very pleasant. When I smell this perfume I think, automatically, of sparkling champagne (I don't know why). This perfume is sooooooooooooooo good, worth every single penny.
Lately vs fragrances are all the same
poor quality,lack of staying power
horrible projection and pricey,you can buy
online fragrances that are cheaper and nice
as volupte(oscar de la renta) or even celeb fragrances
like fancy or fancy nights by Jessica simpson
you can find em for less then 20U$ and I can assure they are lovely
I wore all of them and I will buy all them again and again
I'm from brazil and fragrances around here are usually
very expensive and if you will buy something,it have to be
good and worth the money you spent on it, that's why many brazilians are
crowding malls in US in order to fill their bags and pay affordable prices
and almost all of them are skipping vs frags for their poor quality.
I went to test today and I like it a lot. It sprayed out super gross almost cat pee-ish. But a minute later it was pretty. I love creme brûlée in fragrance and this does t disappoint. I also get the rose note pretty strong too. I like this a lot and want the lotion an perfume. I wanted to buy a travel $10 spray but they didnt have any in
The bottle looks really nice, but it's pretty much it. The fragrance itself is not bad, but you will ask yourself - where did I smell this before? Generic smell I guess. Lasting power is terrible. I only wish it was the good and old VICTORIA. I just don't get it. That terrible Rapture has been out there forever and Victoria is not. Tell me why...
I just received the rollerball version of this today and it is NOT the original Victoria. It is nice however. At first I smelled nothing but pink grapefruit. The opening and middle of this fragrance is a dead on copy of Yves Saint Laurent Babydoll. The dry down is very different from Babydoll though. I smell the rose and brulee but what stands out is a spicy note. Not a strong spicy note it's quite light but a spice none the less. I like it and I can still smell it after about five hours now so that's pretty good for VS. I don't know if I would buy the full sized though, I think the rollerball will be enough. I've been a member of this website for a long time but have never posted so I hope my review doesn't sound like a moron. I don't know how to describe things as good as some of you do but I thought I would just give my opinion on how it smelled on my skin at least.
Is it just me that almost all their fragrances have that same smell to them? I end up hating each one that I try. They need to get a different nose in there.
I read all the reviews even if I don't like a line because I keep hoping they will come up with something I want to try. I actually own the original Victoria and was hoping this was a re-issue. It's not. That is important for people that loved the original to know.
Aw, just bring back the original Victoria!
I may get this as a gift for my little sister because her name is Victoria and she likes VS perfumes
I DO like crème brûlée notes in fragrances, but I have a couple that have it. I actually hope the rose is stronger than the berries, and the crème brûlée is just at the end. I think that would be an interesting mix of floral & gourmand.
Sometimes I read some of these "preview reviews" and wonder, 'If you proclaim to hate the whole line, and you aren't interested in even trying a fragrance, why are you bothering to comment on it?' It leaves me scratching my head every time!
Now where have I seen a similar bottle? Oh, that's right! The Ricci Ricci bottle. Copycats =^.^=
Can't believe they are re-cycling the name of one of their discontinued classics. Do they really think people won't notice? Or do they hope people won't notice?
Never liked VS fragrances. Lately they all smell cheap, unsophisticated, and all the same. I don't see any reason this one should be any different.
I thought this was going to be a re-release of the original Victoria. Instead it sounds like it's just going to be yet another in a sea of generic fruity-florals. How disappointing :(.
Just smelled this....was hoping for something lovely, instead it was the same generic Victoria's Secret scent. So dissapointed!!
Ugh Sickening stop re-releasing so much Recycled smells! There are way better fragrances thumbs down !
Not so excited about the red berries top note since I already own a few berry dominated fragrances, but the rose heart and crème brûlée base seem interesting enough for me to want to try it out.
@ Cybernoir-I wonder if this is like when they released the 'new' version of Body by Victoria?
Though I agree VS puts out scents way too fast I am still interested in sampling this one, mostly because of the rose in it.I figure if I like it they have the rollerball for only $10 right now.It's weird;I think the bottle is borderline silly yet I find it strangely appealing:)
Most of Victoria Secrets fragrance are fruity..They all start smelling the same.
For the first time in a long time I am actually looking forward to trying a Victoria's Secret fragrance! :)
This bottle reminds me of the Nina Ricci Ricci perfume bottles. When I first got into the perfume scene I was still young and bought just about every scent Victoria Secret put out. Now that I'm older the novelty has worn off. Their fragrances don't have any sillage or longevity and I would rather spend my money on fragrances that I know will last longer than fifteen minutes. Even though I have moved on (for the most part, lol) I'm still a sucker for the bottles! :-)
Is this a re-release of the discontinued and much loved original Victoria? It would be great, but it doesn't sound like the original.

Actually cheese is still edible when its moldy. You just have to scrape the mold off. Besides what do you think bleu cheese is?

DALLAS (AP) – Southwest Airlines Co. has joined a sweeping increase of $10 in the price of many domestic round-trip airfares, citing the need to offset high fuel prices.
Southwest's action over the weekend may have ensured success for a price hike by major airlines that seemed to be faltering. Southwest carries more U.S. passengers than any airline and wields great influence over prices.
It's the sixth time airlines have raised fares already this year. FareCompare.com CEO Rick Seaney says leisure travelers may now have to pay $260 for a ticket that cost $200 back on Jan. 1.
The airlines say they need the money. "As an industry, we are all feeling the cost pressures surrounding fuel prices," Southwest spokeswoman Ashley Dillon said Monday.
Jet fuel prices have risen more than 50 percent in the past year to more than $3 a gallon, although most airlines have offset some of the increase through hedging — in effect, paying extra to lock in the top price they'll pay for some of their fuel.
The latest price increase started early last week. Delta Air Lines Co. tried to raise many fares by up to $20 per round trip, but other big airlines sided with a $10 increase started by AMR Corp.'s American Airlines.
Southwest waited three days before matching American's move on Friday night. Other airlines had rolled back fare hikes on routes where they compete with Southwest and other discount carriers, but they revived the full increase once Southwest raised prices too, Seaney said.
Low-cost airlines JetBlue, AirTran and Virgin America also raised prices, virtually assuring that the increase will become permanent, he said.
There were only four broad price increases in all of 2010, and two of those occurred in December. The flurry of fare hikes so far this year mirrors the rapid rise in fares and fuel surcharges in early 2008, when oil prices were heading toward record levels. Oil prices have soared in the past three weeks, approaching $107 a barrel on Monday, because of unrest in the Middle East.
Some airlines have also been dialing back 2011 growth plans because of high oil prices. Frontier Airlines became the latest to do that on Monday. Frontier said its second-quarter capacity would be flat, rather than a planned increase of 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent.
Frontier, a unit of Republic Airways Holdings Inc., said it made the move because of the uncertainty of future oil prices, even though bookings are better than last year.
Delta and American have also said they will scale back their capacity growth plans this year.

You can't change your family medical history, which may put you at increased risk for chronic disease, heart disease, or cancer. But you can fight back against such conditions by altering your lifestyle, particularly your diet.
Nutrition is a critical component to promoting good health, and if certain diseases run in your family, you'll want to make your diet as preventive as possible.
Here's food for thought on dietary changes that can help you prevent several serious health conditions.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer during her lifetime. To reduce your risk:
Limit alcohol. Having more than one drink a day for women has been associated with an increased risk for breast cancer.
Watch calories. Getting to and staying at a healthy weight is one of the most important things you can do to reduce your breast cancer risk.
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women in the United States. To reduce your risk:
Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Include whole wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice, and barley in your diet.
Limit red meat. Diets high in red meat have been associated with an increased risk for colon cancer. To eat less meat, think of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains as the entrée at meals, and meat as the side dish.
Drink moderately, if at all. Alcohol has been associated with an increased risk for colon cancer, so if you drink, do so in moderation.
Heart disease is the number one killer of American men and women. To reduce your risk:
Consume only enough calories to maintain a healthy weight.
Fill up on fiber. The American Heart Association recommends consuming 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day. To add fiber to your diet, eat oatmeal or other whole-grain cereals for breakfast and opt for whole-grain bread instead of white bread. Have at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
Keep your diet low in fat. This means fat should make up no more than 30 percent of your daily calories. And of the fats you do consume, avoid those that are solid at room temperature, such as butter and margarine. They're high in unhealthy saturated or trans fat. Instead, use unsaturated fat, such as canola or olive oil, whenever possible.
At least 79 million Americans have prediabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association.
To prevent or delay the onset of diabetes if you have prediabetes or if type 2 diabetes runs in your family, maintain a healthy weight (body mass index of 18.5 to 24.9) by cutting calories and exercising. Being at a normal weight is the most important thing you can do to prevent type 2 diabetes.

Labor And The Gop: A Shoot Out In California
Organized labor is gearing up to fight its biggest threat since Republicans captured Congress in 1994: GOP-sponsored legislation that would force unions to get annual written permission from members before donating money to political campaigns. "These initiatives are an attempt by conservatives and business to silence the voice of working families," AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney says simply. So, on Feb. 7, he planned to convene a war council of several hundred top union political directors to plot a counterattack.
The first GOP beachhead is the state of California, where a June referendum has already garnered the strong backing of Republican Governor Pete Wilson. The proposition is being pushed by Republican activist Grover G. Norquist and other allies of House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.). The speaker, along with Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), pushed similar bills last year but failed. Now, they plan to reintroduce the legislation in early March. But meanwhile, Norquist's group has placed initiatives on ballots in Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. And he threatens to follow up in all 50 states.
STRIKING BACK. In California, unions expect to spend some $8 million on television advertisements and phone banks to battle the initiative. They also will call thousands of activists to demonstrations. "We need to make clear that the people pushing this are right-wingers who want to stop workers from complaining about issues like Medicare cuts," says AFL-CIO Legislation Dept. Director Peggy Taylor.
Labor also is striking back with a counterproposal. The unions' plan would require annual authorization from stockholders for corporate political spending, which is 11 times greater than labor's and skewed sharply toward Republicans. In California, unions say that they have gotten more than the 350,000 signatures that are needed to get a measure on the ballot. On Feb. 3, however, labor held off filing after business groups agreed not to fund the anti-union initiative. "We want to stay neutral since many companies have good working relations with unions," says California Manufacturers Assn. President William Campbell.
A Washington state law shows the danger unions face. In 1992, the state passed a less sweeping law than the proposed California bill. It only requires unions to get written authorization for paycheck deductions that go to political action committees. Result: the Washington Education Assn.'s annual PAC contributions plunged from $548,000 to $120,000 today. WEA officials point out that unpaid volunteer teachers buttonhole members for its PAC signup, while many unions have full-time shop stewards who could be counted on to gather signatures. Still, it would be a costly logistical nightmare to get separate written authorizations from each of the 16 million union members every year.
Organized labor faces an uphill fight. National and California polls show that some 70% of voters agree with the initiatives. But many voters change their minds when they hear labor officials explain in focus groups just how the measure could cripple unions politically, says Taylor. Given how much labor must spend to stave off the Republican initiatives, it seems they're already succeeding.

A Christmas Eve Surprise.
We wondered why Houdini the goat would not budge from her spot near the water hole. When hubby got to Houdini what did he find? I huge baby boy kid.. and I mean huge! Born over night. How exciting. The girls are yet to name him, I think they either thought of "Karma" or "Jesus". Who knows how the girls think? Not me.
What an exciting Christmas Eve gift. Onto new adventures...
Oh, and Hillbilly Momma, you are right, those goats need hurricane proof fencing! Haha

Does God really decide, and care who wins a football game?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 04, 2012 Category: Articles
I began asking this question myself long before Tim Tebow was even born. I was a little boy, deeply committed to the Pittsburgh Steelers. I remember praying that they would beat the Oakland Raiders in an upcoming playoff game. When my prayer ended fear set in- what if there were a little boy just like me, somewhere in Oakland, praying that the Raiders would beat the Steelers? My father comforted me by explaining that no real Christian would ever pray for the Raiders. Keep Reading -

Soft Hearts, Solid Spines
from Nathan W. Bingham Feb 02, 2012 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
The Internet allows unprecedented opportunity for communication between Christians from different theological traditions. The results have not been pretty. Comment threads are the Devil's playground and blogs his amusement park. And even if we exclude online media, theological bickering between Christians is and has been pervasive. Regrettably, Christians who hold to the Reformed confessions are often viewed by other Christians outside our tradition as some of the least winsome members of what we call the communion of the saints.

Columns from Tabletalk Magazine, February 2012
from Nathan W. Bingham Feb 01, 2012 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
The February edition of Tabletalk is out. This month's issue examines what Jonathan Edwards called charity as described by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:1–13. This passage rings familiar to many people on account of its frequent use (or misuse) in wedding ceremonies and other occasions demanding a proclamation of love. Yet the truth of Christian love as laid out in 1 Corinthians 13 reaches far beyond these settings. Contributors include R.C. Sproul along with Joel Beeke, D.A. Carson, Michael Haykin, Joe Holland, Steven J. Lawson, Keith Mathison, Ray Ortlund, John R. Sittema, R.C. Sproul Jr., and Cal Thomas. Keep Reading -

Thread: Big Ben
Re: Big Ben
He'll probably play, but he obviously was hurt bad enough to leave the game and go to the hospital, so how effective he might be would remain to be seen.
Even if he doesn't play, a win isn't some guarantee. They have played us tough without him, despite us winning those games.
Re: Big Ben
I honestly don't understand the narrow minded comments from people that are so sure that he will play. Yes, there is no question that Jen has had a history of bigging up his injuries, and coming back trying to look tough when it really hasn't been all that serious, but there has also been many times when he has legitimately missed games, especially games the week straight after the game, he missed a few games last year because of the ankle sprain, it's not like he played in all of them. I know people want to assume he'll play because it's the Ravens in prime time, but honestly, a sprained shoulder is a sprained shoulder, not even an idiot would play with a sprained shoulder. Ed Dickson sprained his shoulder and missed the full pre season, and that was only said to be minor (grade 1), nobody even knows what the grade is right now.
There is of course the possibility that it really is't that serious, but by the looks of it, he did fall on his shoulder in an awkward position and it was enough to cause him so sit out for the rest of the game.
Re: Big Ben
Yeah, we've been made Leftwich's bitch on more than one occasion in his illustrious "Boller Beating" career... They still have speed at WR, and a decent Running game. KC did a good job shutting their WRs down on a slow field. But, if Wallace is running free, it doesn't matter who the QB is.
Re: Big Ben
Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Big Ben
As much as I like to agree he is a drama queen with injuries, I agree with ^LB. He is really hurt. I saw the injury. You don't get sent to the hospital if it wasn't serious. They are sweating in Pittsburgh beyond just playing us. This could hose their entire season.
Personally, I'd like to see him, Ray, Lardarius all on the field. But that's the way it goes.
I don't know that you change the game plan at all regardless of who is in the QB, so I don't think this effects the Raven's game plan. If anything, his absence makes it easier, cut and dry, end of story.

Re: Big Ben
No matter if Ben is in or out, the Ravens offense still has to go against a Steelers defense that is playing way better than the Ravens defense. The Ravens offense is terrible on the road. Could be one of those field goal battles.
Re: Big Ben
Ben is a drama queen, but he is also very tough... He feeds on the attention. No doubt about it. We can't say anything based on what we officially know. A sprain can mean any number of things.... A Separation of the AC joint is specific. Grade 1,2, or 3 each mean something different. Grade 1 one could mean as little as he could work it out all week and take some ibuprofen before the game. Grade 2 means he could miss a week, and play it by ear.... Grade 3 means potential surgery.
Grade 2 and 3 are mechanical/structural changes in the joint. That means inflammation, severe pain, and weakness. There are certain movements that are fine and don't cause much pain with even a grade 2 separation... Throwing motion is not one of them. Add the weight of a football and you have trouble. And then there are risks of more injury from impacts.... This means if he has a grade 2 or 3 he will sit this week and probably more.

Re: Big Ben
I don't think they are terrible, they are 2-2 on the road, and have played terrible in patches, but have still won 2 games on the road, terrible would be 0-4 or 1-3. Our running game has been pretty good on the road, and our offense has came up when we needed them to, like in the Browns game. I think it's fair to say that our offense is incredibly inconsistent on the road, but terrible is too harsh.
I think if Jen sits this one out, the stillers defense will stop our offense for the first few phases of the game, but Leftwich isn't going to move the chains consistently enough, and their defense is going to be on the field for long periods of time. Jen managed to mask the Olines woes in pass pro, but Leftwich does not have that elusiveness in the pocket, and Suggs could have a field day with Mike Adams. The best bet is for the Steelers to run the ball 30 + times, but the Ravens haven't been all that bad against the run since the Cowboys game, so Isac Redman or Dwyer isn't going to be enough to win them the game with 9 men in the box without the presence of Roethlisberger.
I easily had this as a loss before the season, but with Jen out, I can see us winning this by a comfortable margin.

I got the idea for two wings from searching on the web. The incidence is just about 1 degree, if that much. Its angle of attack looks normal, i.e. it's not dragging its tail around, so I guess it's enough? With the slight wind, and due to the area I was flying it, I couldn't get a good look at the side from a far enough distance to verify its angle. I've got some tuning to do, that's for sure. |
The weather looks good for Tuesday ...
Low wind .. clear skies ... It looks like it will be a great day for flying ... except it will be my "discovery flight" and I will be flying in a Cessna 172 ! Its the first step in getting my real license ! ... Wait .... You guys are talking about RC planes .... |
Ohboyohboyohboy!!!! 64*F yesterday and possibly warmer today. All the ice is gone from my fields.
Funny, it was jus there on Friday. At least a 3" solid layer of the stuff, just up an' run away This, combined with the 5 day weekend I've got coming, means.... FLYING!!!!! My second Slow Stick is all ready for a maiden. I've had it since January and it's never been outside..... |
I did some good flying on Thursday with the new PBF. It was a real sunny beach to fly before I got the CG right, but it's just great now. I also found that 2" Maxx wheels are more than capable of taking off and landing in soggy grass
Until those flights I thought of them mostly as pavement gear, but I was pleasantly surprised I also discovered that the power system is good for LONG flight times. I ran that pack for a good 5 minutes of flying before Thursday's final trimming, and then it flew for easily another 10 or more without a charge. There's WAY too much power on this thing; it flies happily at 10% throttle. Not even gonna guess its top speed; it's obscene.... Hoping it warms up so I can fly a little more Saturday. Friday was all cold and windy, Thursday was HOT and calm.... I'm referrring to all these days by their names because it's 12:14am Saturday and I want to avoid confusion |
Ok, I did the planned flying today. One solid 10 minute flight on the PBF limited by lack of daylight and chilled fingers
Great landing, too Conditions were dead calm (the reason I went) and about 45*F. At 7:34 when I took off there was plenty of light, but 10 minutes later it was almost dark Oh well, it was good.... |
It was sunny and slightly breezy here today.
I flew the PBF for awhile (12 minutes, one flight, emptied the pack). Good fun. Good landing. I maidened my Slow Stick. Simply great, but Lou's 2100mAh 3S lipo was as bad as he said and I barely got 5 minutes total. That thing came down HOT.. I then flew the PBF again. Got about 8 or 9 minutes (flying much harder than the last flight) before I was forced down by the battery.... and a freaking bird. This peregrine falcon that holds the park as its territory came in at about the 8 minute mark and just circled around (the plane ) watching my plane and looking awful unhappy about its presence. My pack was too weak to keep flying so I landed in a hurry. Bird immediately left. Scary but cool.... |
I almost went out to fly my Parkjet today but that didn't happen as my field was invaded with soccer players, so I just stayed inside and flew my MCX. Temps were in the mid seventies with no wind!! That is quite unusual for where I live so I really wanted to go flying! So I told my dad next weekend we needed to go with his friend to the flying field so I can fly where there is plenty of room.
HT, that sux... Generally I try to avoid flying over people (as should EVERYONE ). Just too many things could go wrong....
I'm lucky because it's still not the best outdoor-activity weather here so I get my fields all to myself. The total for today is 3 PBF packs flown empty in 3 flights. Just love this little bugger. Usually after the 3rd iteration planes become fairly permanent in my fleet This one is just too much fun. for some reason it seems WAY more CG-sensitive than the previous two but oh well... Nothing else to complain about, really. Nothing. Perfect airplane in my opinion. It's logged almost 45 minutes of flying and I built it only 5 days ago That works out to 9 minutes per day, or about 1 flight/pack daily so far. Planning on more, of course |

util-linux: unintentional grant of privileges by umount Sep 12 2005 08:16PM David Watson (baikie ehwhat freeserve co uk) Affected: Linux umount command as provided in the util-linux package in versions 2.8 to 2.12q, 2.13-pre1 and 2.13-pre2. Privileges needed to exploit: local account with permission to unmount a user-mountable file system with Unix-type features (set-id bits or device nodes). Effect: removal of nosuid, nodev and other flags from the file system, thus allowing setuid and setgid bits to take effect and device nodes to be interpreted. While this may be undesirable in itself, someone who can write to the underlying device or otherwise provide its contents can use this to obtain root privileges (for example by creating a setuid-root binary in the file system and having its setuid bit take effect when run). Explanation: When mounting a user-mountable file system, the mount command always imposes the nosuid and nodev flags by default, and only the superuser or an explicit setting in the fstab entry can override this. However, I recently discovered that the umount command allowed users to remove these flags again by using the -r option. The -r option tells umount to try to remount the file system read-only if it is currently busy and cannot be unmounted fully (for example, if it is the current directory of some process). However, the file system is remounted with the MS_RDONLY ("ro") flag alone, thus clearing all its other flags, including nosuid and nodev. In the affected versions, the user who mounted the file system can use this option and easily force the unsafe remount, even if the file system is already read-only. If "users" was given in the fstab entry, then any user can do so. Workaround: edit /etc/fstab to limit the (un)mounting of filesystems appropriately, or just remove the setuid bit from umount. Fix: fixed in util-linux 2.12r-pre1 and 2.13-pre3, by refusing to accept the -r option from a non-root user. [ reply ] |

Department Overview
Adopt-a-Highway is a public service program for volunteers to pick up litter along Minnesota's roadways.
Adopt-a-Highway Program for Rice County
Thank you for your interest in providing volunteer litter clean up along our County roads.
Rice County Permit form and Terms and Conditions
Please read the terms and conditions carefully.
We will assign roadway segments to groups on a first come first serve basis. Every attempt will be made to assign segments requested but in the event of conflicts, the closest available road segment will be offered to your group.
Our program does not provide the blue and white recognition sign which you may have seen along other highways because of the sign cost. We will install the sign if the sign purchase and installation costs ($150.00 per sign) are included with the permit application. A group desiring signs may request a sign at either or both ends of the segment.
If you desire to participate in the Adopt-a-Highway Program, please fill out the permit form and return it to the Rice County Highway Department, 610 N.W. 20th Street, Faribault, MN 55021.
We look forward to successful roadside litter clean up efforts and would appreciate your participation.
Adopt-a-Highway Program for the State of Minnesota
The State of Minnesota Adopt-a-Highway program asks community groups, churches or businesses to adopt a highway by picking up litter on both sides for at least two years.
For a class looking for an environmental project that is shorter term, Pick-a-Highway is a one-time litter picking activity on an assigned segment of state highway. Mn/DOT will provide the bags, vests, training, and bag retrieval. You contribute approximately four hours of labor.

Long time reader first time poster here, so here's my dilemma. I've been researching a lot the last few weeks for a new closed back headphone for listening mainly at home, for now un-amped. The on-board soundcard on my laptop actually does pretty well so im not to hard pressed to run out and buy an amp right this second, but i will in the near future. So I listen to about 80 percent metal, meshuggah, decapitated, btbam, gojira and such...and alot of rock/grunge/alternative...soundgarden,pearl jam, radiohead,dredg, alice in chains. I dont listen to any rap/hip hop or dub step. I currently have a set of modded grado sr80i's that I absolutely love, but they leak so much that I cant listen to them without my wife hearing music from 40 feet away. So im looking for a set of closed cans that will offer decent sound isolation without being noise cancelling and a different sound than grado gives. Ive heard audio technicas lower end m30s and I like the neutral sound of them but i havnt heard beyers or ultrasones. My concern with the beyers is their bass heavy nature just wont work for fast paced metal. The m50s sound good on paper but ive read their midrange is lacking. Im leaning more toward the ultrasones but just cant make up my mind here... budget is around 170 usd. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Oh and just to throw this in, almost all of my music is FLAC ALAC or high quality otherwise, no low bitrate mp3s. Also, for some reason or another, I just dont want sennheisers, from everything ive read they just dont sound like my cup of tea. Maybe adding Shure 840s as a possibility though.

The Obama administration kicked off a new program Wednesday that's designed to help up to 9 million borrowers stay in their homes through refinanced mortgages or loans that are modified to lower monthly payments.
The Treasury Department released detailed guidelines designed to let the lending industry know how to enroll borrowers in the program announced last month.
"It is imperative that we continue to move with speed to help make housing more affordable and help arrest the damaging spiral in our housing markets," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a statement.
The administration, launching what it calls the "Making Home Affordable" initiative, said that borrowers will have to provide their most recent tax return and two pay stubs, as well as an "affidavit of financial hardship" to qualify for the $75 billion loan modification program, which runs through 2012.
Borrowers are only allowed to have their loans modified once, and the program only applies for loans made on Jan. 1 2009 or earlier. Up to 4 million borrowers are expected to qualify. Mortgages for single-family properties that are worth more than $729,750 are excluded.
Separately, up to 5 million borrowers who have mortgages held by government controlled mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be eligible to refinance through June 2010.
Meanwhile action to put in place another part of Obama's housing plan is expected soon on Capitol Hill.
House Democrats, under pressure from a group of moderates in their ranks and the banking lobby, agreed Tuesday to narrow legislation that gives bankruptcy judges the power to force lenders to lower the interest rate or principal of mortgages for troubled homeowners.
Under the terms of the agreement, judges would have to consider whether a homeowner had been offered a reasonable deal by the bank to rework his or her home loan before seeking help in bankruptcy court. Borrowers also would have a responsibility to prove that they tried to modify their mortgages.
The compromise legislation was expected to come to a vote in the House as early as Thursday.

Hi all,
I need help!
I sent my BlackBerry in for a service and they wiped it and reloaded the software. It seemed to be working fine and then a few days later it stopped working. The screen says error 507 reload software. I plugged it in and started BlackBerry Desktop software for Mac and it said: "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device. If clicking Retry doesn't connect the device, or the device isn't rebooting with a charged battery, you might need to repair your software to correct the problem." When I click repair it asks me to select a download and I select the suggested one. Than it downloads and then says The device could not be repaired please try again. When I do, the same thing happens again. I have no idea what to do but I can't go on without a phone!
Please help me as soon as possible! All help is appreciated hugely!
Thanking you in anticipation.

Hello jordz022
Welcome to the Commnity
Sorry to hear what happened. Please check this Article ID: KB02792 and let us know if this helps. Good luck.
Thanks for your prompt reply, but the page didn't help. My BlackBerry is plugged in via the supplied USB and the power to the USB slots is uninterrupted.
I really don't know what's going on with this thing!
Any other suggestions???
Error 507 just means the device has no OS installed.
You will need to reload the OS to the device:
1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
2. Download the OS file from step 1 to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
3. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Also check the following locations for vendor.xml files and delete any instances of the file:
On Windows Vista/7 navigate to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
On Windows XP navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
4. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

Daily Report: Dollar Soft as Markets Consolidate
Dollar trades with a soft tone today and markets digest last week's sharp post-NFP moves. Nikkei jumped another 1.45% to close at 10167 in response to Friday's sharp fall in the Japanese yen but Asian stocks are generally mixed elsewhere. Gold is a touch weaker today but is holding above Dubai low of 1127.6 so far while crude oil continues to struggle around 75/76 level. The economic calendar is rather light today and markets may continue to consolidate for a while.
Taking about yen, last week's sharp selloff indicates that the short term buying climax is definitely over. It's a bit early to call for medium term reversal against the dollar and sterling. But yen looks vulnerable to a new low against commodity currencies. For example, CAD/JPY's strong rebound from 79.89 leaves the price actions from 90.28 in three waves in form of a falling wedge which suggests that it's merely consolidation in the larger rally from 68.38. The pair seems set for a test of 88.26 resistance at least and a break there will bolster the bullish case for rally resumption to 90.28 cluster resistance and above.
On the data front, Swiss retail sales is expected to grow 1.2% yoy in October, up from prior month's -1.6% yoy. Eurozone Sentix investor confidence is expected to improve from -7 to -4.1 in December. German factory orders are expected to rise 0.7% mom in October. Canada building permits are expected to rise 1.0% mom in October.
EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.4754; (P) 1.4922; (R1) 1.5023; More
EUR/USD recovers mildly today and the break of 1.4894 minor resistance suggests that an intraday low is in place at 1.4820 and turns bias neutral for the moment. Some consolidations could be seen but upside is expected to be limited well below 1.5037 resistance and bring fall resumption. Below 1.4801/20 support zone will target 1.4626 support next.
In the bigger picture, the failure to break through 1.5143 resistance and subsequent sharp fall and break of 1.4828 support revives the case that EUR/USD has topped out at 1.5143 already. Focus now turns to 1.4626 support and break there will confirm that case rise from 1.2456 has finished at 1.5143 already, on bearish divergence conditions in daily MACD and RSI. This will also mark the completion of the whole three wave consolidation pattern from 1.2329 and the whole down trend from 1.6039 is possibly resuming for another low below 1.2329 in such case.
On the upside, another high above 1.5143 cannot be ruled out for the moment. But after all, even in case of another rise, we'd expect strong resistance at 123.6% projection of 1.2329 to 1.4719 from 1.2456 at 1.5410 to conclude the medium term rise from 1.2456 eventually.

Write a ReviewJulian rated this product on 05/13/13 I bought these and they were delivered last week. I had been taking lessons with a pair of used clubs that didn't fit. These clubs are perfect! Before, I couldn't hit the side of a barn with my irons. Now, I'm hitting them long and straight. Once I get used to my longer distance, I'll be a decent golfer.
Matt rated this product on 04/19/13 I bought these for my 14 year old son who is a lefty. It has been difficult in the past to buy clubs as there is not much selection for juniors much less in left hand (I ordered these with a regular shaft and 1" under standard). We received them yesterday and hit the course today. He expressed to me that today was the "funnest" day of golf he's ever had. He was striking the ball consistently straight with the appropriate trajectory (he even hit a 180 yard 3 iron to the green). The price was great but seeing my son happy and playing well is gratifying. Thanks Pinemeadow!
Damon rated this product on 04/16/13 I took these clubs to the range today and I have mixed feelings. On one hand they are VERY FORGIVING. When I miss hit the ball they still fly straight. The balance was perfect. Because of this I was able to swing harder and get more distance out of them. I improved my distance by one club length. However, they didn't feel right. You can feel everything. A miss hit stings. When I hit my old clubs perfect it was as if I never even hit the ball. It had a very unique sound and great feel to them. These clubs do not do that. Maybe its just me but something is just a little off. Overall I like them a lot. Being able to hit the ball consistently is huge for me. I just have to get used to them.
John rated this product on 10/27/12 Hi All, I read some of these comments that people post about buying OEM clubs. Rember it's not the arrow it's the Indian!!!!
Jon rated this product on 07/05/12 will you please start making up sets of strongs, with 5-pw or 6-pw as options with a sw posibly included. I would love to purchase. This way slow hiters can also choose those top notch hyprid strongs as replacements for 2-5 irons or woods. Giving senior's top quality options for good put togeather golf sets. I'll buy if they available, several folks would I think. I just a thought. Thanks

A freeway worker who was struck down on Highway 91 by a hit-and-run driver earlier this month remains in a coma, according to the charges filed against the man arrested about a mile from scene.
Fellow freeway workers and friends of the victim, Jesse Silva, 37, sat in the back rows of the Riverside County courtroom Tuesday, Jan. 29, during a brief hearing for Enrique Lopez Lopez, 30, of Moreno Valley.
Lopez is charged with driving under the influence causing bodily injury with the enhancement that it has induced coma or paralysis in the victim; hit and run; and driving without a valid license. He has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody.
Tuesdayâs hearing, scheduled to check on the case's progress, was continued to Feb. 13.
The prosecutor handling Lopezâs case said outside court he had been told Silva is in a vegetative state, unresponsive and only able to open his eyes.
Silva is an employee of Lake Forest-based SEMA Construction, the Caltrans contractor on the Highway 91 carpool lane project.
The workers who showed up for the 8:30 a.m. hearing were fresh off their jobs, still wearing their safety vests and doffing their helmets and beanies as they entered the courtroom of Judge Becky Dugan.
They sat silently through the proceedings and were guarded in their comments afterward, saying they did not want to harm the case against Lopez.
Members of Silvaâs family also were in court, and cried and hugged workers in the hallway afterward.
âTheyâre emotional, theyâre very frustrated,â Deputy District Attorney Kevin Beecham said of the family.
Silvaâs family is âat the hospital, all day, every day,â said Jeff McDermott, a project manager for SEMA on the Highway 91 job.
Silva has âa lot of support. Heâs got a lot of friends, and there were guys here from all different companies, not just my project but other projects throughout California,â McDermott said.
He said Silva is a traffic-control supervisor, and was working as a foreman the night he was injured.
âJessieâs been known for a long time. Heâs taught most of the traffic-control guys how to do it right. Heâs got quite a following,â McDermott said.
Some of the workers present were at the scene of the accident at 9:30 p.m. Jan. 14, when Silva was standing off westbound Highway 91 in the area between the freeway and the14th Street offramp, setting out cones in preparation for freeway lane closures.
A driver veered onto the right shoulder, struck Silva and sped away, California Highway Patrol officials said. Witnesses said the driver never tried to stop or hit the brakes. Riverside police found Lopez stopped near Central Avenue in a 1996 Honda Accord with major front-end damage, the CHP said.
