IreneUnited States4 Stars Out Of 5Not One of My FavoritesJanuary 11, 2014IreneUnited StatesQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for #3: Chocolate-Covered Baloney.This was just an OK book for me. I have not read many books like this but wanted to give it a chance. I gave this book 4/5 stars. I liked the characters in the story. For having a young girl be the main focus of the story her personality really came through. The minor characters were also written well and you could feel their emotions with just the words on the pages. I did not enjoy the many arguments and what I felt like were disrespectful comments. You can write an argument or discussion without a lot of words and still get the idea of the fight across. I would recommend this book to the early high school age group.
I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read. -
Monica HAtlantaAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5More Adventures with April GraceApril 22, 2013Monica HAtlantaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for #3: Chocolate-Covered Baloney.Though written for a young adult audience, as a 30-something I eagerly awaited the release of Chocolate Covered Baloney. The protagonist, April Grace, is smart, witty and wise for her age - I enjoy her sense of humor and ability to tell it like it is. Middle school is an exasperating time for anyone and April Grace demonstrates how it can be handled with humor, heartache and a fair amount of well-intentioned spunk.
In this third book in the series, April Grace is facing more changes. Her family has welcomed a brand-new baby, her beloved grandmother has a new boyfriend and someone unexpected shows up in a very un-subtle blast-from-the-past. On top of all that, April Grace's older sister is acting very sneaky and no one will listen to April Grace when she once again (correctly) insists that something is wrong Myra Sue.
I liked the storyline about the unexpected visitor, who turns out to be April Grace's other grandmother. The author does a good job of developing this character over the course of the story and creates a more believable plot line by not making her return to the family an instant happy ending.
One element I like about this book (and the series) is that it is not set in a time-specific period. It appears to be set sometime in the late 80s/early 90s, but it's hard to tell. I like the non-specific timing because it enables to reader to identify with the characters, rather than the time period. For example, when Myra Sue goes missing, the family can't check her Facebook page or cell phone records for clues to where she went.
I enjoyed this book as a quick, light-hearted read, and would definitely recommend it for the young adult (tween) audience it is intended for.
I received this book from BookSneeze in exchange for an honest review. -
HSCottageRaleigh, NCAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Humor, Whit, and Adventure...March 27, 2013HSCottageRaleigh, NCAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5This review was written for #3: Chocolate-Covered Baloney.There are more changes and adventure in store for April Grace, again.
New neighbors, her wonderful Grandma has a new boyfriend, and her annoying big sister goes missing and April must use her mad skills to find her sister before she ends of in trouble.
This books is just like the first two, just a bit different in story line. You get the same down to earth family that wishes you really were a part of. April is still a smart whitty girl with with a huge sense of humor. You still get to hear that twangy accent in her voice by the phrases she uses. My favorite character in this book is the Grandma. You can really tell that April Grace and her Grandma are kindred spirits.

Jelly Fish5 Stars Out Of 5I loved reading this book!February 28, 2013Jelly FishQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for #3: Chocolate-Covered Baloney.When I first saw that this book was available to review, I was instantly excited. Confessions of April Grace: Chocolate Covered Baloney by K. D. McCrite is the third book in the Confessions of April Grace series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first two books in this series, and had been looking forward to this next book for a while. I was not disappointed.
There are three books in the Confessions of April Grace series by K. D. McCrite:
In Front of God and Everybody,
Cliques, Hicks, and Ugly Sticks,
and Chocolate covered Baloney.
I loved reading this newest book just as much as the two before. All three books in this series are worth reading, no matter how old or young you are. When my younger brother heard the title, even before I got this book he asked if he could read it. Doesn't chocolate covered baloney sound good? ;) In each book the story continues on right after what has happened in the last book, so you don't miss a moment in the excitement of April Grace's life.
I enjoyed reading about April Grace and her adventures in this book. You won't want to put this book down as you read about how she solves a mystery, meets someone she never thought that she would meet, and continues on her many other adventures. You will laugh right along with April Grace as you read about her grandma's crazy driving and April Grace's many confessions about starting Jr. High School. I am sure that you will enjoy these books as much as I have!

And halfway through the story she meets her other grandma and instantly doesn't like her. But learns more about her and they end up becoming friends. I liked this book because I read in a day and I could not put it down. I would definitely end up recommending this to my friends.

Best Kids' Books of 2008
As 2008 draws to a close, our fabulous Readings children's buyers reflect on their favourite books of the year. Anyone looking for Christmas tips should find plenty of inspiration on these pages, for kids of all ages and interests.
Young Adult
Kathy Kozlowski raves about The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (Sherman Alexie). 'Based on Sherman Alexie's own life this story of a boy who leaves the reservation to go to the all-white school, thereby alienating his rez friends too, is a fascinating read. Tough, funny, honest and ultimately uplifting, it's my must-read of the year!' Marie Matteson loved it, too. She also loved The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks (E. Lockhart). 'How to become a feminist, infiltrate the boys club, get the coolest boy in school and bring down the establishment when you are 16.'
Leanne Hall says the best book she read this year was Allegra Goodman's The Other Side of the Island, 'an effortless and completely convincing account of a young girl's struggles in a dystopian society where climate instability is the justification for a totalitarian regime'.
Callie Martin loved the 'brilliant and challenging' Red Necklace by Sally Gardner. 'A fantastical book set in the dark, dangerous days of the French revolution. Sequels to come!' And Simmone Howell's second book, Everything Beautiful 'continues to amaze. How does she describe the indescribable?'
Holly Harper says The Knife of Never Letting Go (Patrick Ness) is 'the funniest, saddest, most gripping thing I've read all year'. Todd lives in a world where no thought is private, where animals have voices, and his town is hiding a terrible secret. This 'futuristic action thriller' is Alexa Dretze's pick, too, along with The Declaration (Gemma Malley).
Middle Readers
Kathy Kozlowski says that The Wish Pony (Catherine Bateson) 'sounds heavy, but it's not'. It's a contemporary Australian story about a family coping with a difficult pregnancy and the neighbour who is there for them. 'With its touch of mystery, it's a sort of Mary Poppins of the suburbs.' Alexa Dretze concurs: 'the power of being understood is magical'. Alexa also loved The Rules of Cool: Mac Slater, Coolhunter (Tristan Bancks). 'When uncool is surprisingly cool.'
The OK Team (Nick Place), starring Hazy Retina and his team of misfit novice superheroes, made Leanne Hall 'laugh constantly with their Melbourne-based misadventures'.
She also loved the 'gentle, whimsical' Kenny and the Dragon (Tony Ditzerlizzi): ' Kenny is the cutest, bravest and most honourable rabbit to ever wear a rubbish bin lid as armour.'
Holly Harper highly recommends The Incredibly Boring Monotonous Family (Phil Barry) for fans of Roald Dahl. 'This boring family collects twigs and only eats foods that aren't too colourful, until Ann finds a magic key and shows them the meaning of excitement. This book had me laughing out loud on the tram.' The first in Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom Series, Mister Monday is another winner. 'Arthur Penhaligon must win seven keys from seven guardians to save Earth and the mysterious realm of the House: a place of powerful, winged Denizens, Pied Piper's children and pirate rats. Nix is a master of creating amazing fantasy worlds.'
Callie Martin's pick is Sunny Side Up (Marion Roberts). 'Set in our very own St Kilda, in one of our very own heat waves, this is a delightful, funny story about growing up.
Marie Matteson loved The London Eye Mystery (Siobhan Dowd). 'How do you disappear from a sealed pod on the London eye? Ted and Kat work together to find their missing cousin before time runs out.'
Holly Harper says that 'everybody: young, old, lovers of fantasy, haters of fantasy, should read the His Dark Materials trilogy, starting with Northern Lights (Philip Pullman). One day this will be thought of in the same way as Lord of the Rings and Narnia, and hopefully the Nicole Kidman film will be long-forgotten.'
Younger Readers
Kathy Kozlowski loved both Audrey of the Outback and Audrey Goes to Town (Christine Harris). 'Probably Audrey Goes to Town, when our indomitable heroine finds herself staying with a very proper elderly lady, is my favourite. It was a steep and quite touching learning curve for both of them!'
'I think if I wasn't me I'd like to be Henrietta,' says Callie Martin. Alexa Dretzke also has a soft spot for the 'quirky and delightful' heroine of Henrietta Gets a Letter (Martine Murray).
Holly Harper chooses adventure. 'Tashi is brave, clever and goes on the coolest adventures, like the time he tricked a dragon or escaped getting eaten by giants.' His adventures are collected in The Big Big Book of Tashi (Anna Fienberg & Kim Gamble). 'Top secret missions, high-tech gadgets and evil villains are all in a day's work for 12-year-old super spy Zac Power. These are so exciting - I think Zac has the best job in the world!' The Zac Pack (HI Larry) has a backpack and four recent titles in the series.
Leanne Hall was a fan of Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie series. '*Elephant and Piggie* are excitable, melodramatic and full of energy; their stories are hilarious and simple enough for beginner readers.'
Picture Books
Kathy Kozlowski has two favourite picture books for the year. The Pencil (Allan Ahlberg, illus by Bruce Ingman) about a pencil who draws his own world, has a wonderfully dramatic climax (when the eraser he draws gets out of control), and a comfortably happy ending. Nyuntu Ninti: What You Should Know (Bob Randall & Melanie Hogan) is a photographic picture book about Aboriginal life and values which brings to life both the simple freedoms and commonsense respect for the land innate in this world so different from ours. 'It's probably the children's book I think about most, of all I have 'read' this year.'
Leanne Hall raves about Little Seed (Gav Barbey). 'I love the colourful ink-spattered pictures that illustrate this gorgeous story about the travels of a little seed as it visits trees all over the world.' Ditto for The Very Cranky Bear (Nick Bland). 'I can't help but laugh every time I look at the page where the very cranky bear emerges from the cave with a huge and ridiculous pair of moose antlers strapped to his head.'
Holly Harper can't resist Dexter Bexley and the Big Blue Beastie. 'Who can resist a Big Blue Beastie in a waistcoat and a bowler hat, even if he is trying to eat you?' And she says that Duck, Death and the Tulip (Wolf Erlbruch) is 'a beautifully simple book about life and death, for kids, adults and ducks alike'.
Callie Martin has two picks. She says that the 'beautifully illustrated' Sunday Chutney by Aaron Blabey ' celebrates the wonderful effervescence of the individual'. And on There are Cats in this Book by Viviane Schwarz: 'Finally, a book with enough cats in it!'
Marie Matteson loved Nobody Owns The Moon (Tohby Riddle). 'Life is hard in the big city for a fox and a donkey but one wonderful night can reaffirm the warmth of friendship and the wonder of shared experience.' And Edwina: The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct. 'Reginald knows that dinosaurs are extinct but no one will listen to him except Edwina – the dinosaur who didn't know she was extinct.'
Board Books and First Books
Kathy Kozlowski from Readings Carlton loved Alison Jay's Nursery Collection. She says, 'I have always loved the modern fresco type art work in Alison Jay's board books and now they are together: Alphabet and Numbers in a box.' There is also a matching ABC wall frieze.
Her second pick, Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes (Mem Fox), was also the pick for Readings Hawthorn's Alexa Dretzke: 'A perfect gift for every new baby'. Alexa also loved Happy Hector (Polly Dunbar): 'A very cute Hector is happy, but then he's sad. A colourful, charming look at friendship.'
Readings Malvern's Holly Harper had two favourites. Mix Up World (Herve Tullet) enables young readers to mix and match to create an elephant on a house, a man lifting a mountain or a camel balanced on a fingertip. In This Dinosaur is So Big, the dinosaurs are big enough to eat a tree, a house or a plane for breakfast.
Callie Martin from Readings St Kilda chose Froggy Green by Anna Walker, 'a darling little charmer about all the colours we love, especially when those colours involve ice cream'. And Charley Harper's ABC's, 'a unique artistic animal A to Z'.
Marie Matteson from Readings Port Melbourne picked the new version of an enduring favourite: the novelty playhouse Maisy's House and Garden (Lucy Cousins). 'You can play outside and inside and even the toilet opens!'

A Goofy Movie is an animated musical comedy released in 1995 by Disney and directed by Kevin Lima. It's mostly based on the Goof Troop TV show, albeit with different character designs, and was produced partly by Disney's television studio despite having a theatrical release. Because of this, the movie doesn't have the best animation or attention to detail, and looks a bit low budget by Disney standards. It didn't have the strongest critical reception either, getting some pretty mixed reviews: it's actually listed as "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes, even though the famous critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel enjoyed it. Personally, I think it's a great film, but it certainly isn't perfect.
The story concerns Max (voiced by Jason Marsden, singing voice by Aaron Lohr) and his relationship with his father, the classic Disney icon Goofy (voiced by Bill Farmer). Max is in high school and wants what most teenage guys want: to fit in, have friends, and get the girl. In the first act, he highjacks a school assembly to ask out the girl of his dreams, Roxanne, but in doing so ends up getting in trouble with the principal. When Goofy hears that his son is causing trouble, he takes parenting advice from his neighbour Pete and tries to get his son "under his thumb" (i.e., earn his son's respect) with a little bonding time on the open road.
If someone told you that there was a Goof Troop movie, would you expect much more than a made-for-TV cash-in? Surprisingly, this movie is more than that. Yeah, it's a goofy cartoon (get it?) with tons of slapstick, but it never forgets to include the undercurrent of drama required to maintain your attention for the running time. When the film needs to be quiet and mature, it can be -- and there are quite a few touching, insightful little moments thrown in -- but A Goofy Movie never forgets that it's essentially a big-screen Saturday morning cartoon. Personally, I think that's what makes it so good. I don't want Goofy's movie to try to be The Lion King. As a family road trip movie, it works.
The film is also a musical, and though the songs aren't the greatest tunes you'll ever hear, they're not too bad either. They work within the context of the film, and one or two of them do stand out as being memorably good -- most notably the first song, "After Today". The song that marks the beginning of the road trip, "On the Open Road", isn't that spectacular on its own but is accompanied by countless visual gags that elevate it. There's isn't much to complain about, but nothing to write home about either.
The animation, as I said, was done by a television animation studio and is a bit bad by usual theatrical Disney standards. Watch the backgrounds and you'll see extras conspicuously frozen in place, elements that are clearly painted onto separate cells (having mismatched colours as a result), and there's even a few sequences that appear to have been artificially slowed down in post-production, causing the frame rate to drop erratically. It's nothing worse than you'd see in a TV show, however, and the movie makes up for it with some very clever use of colour; I especially like the red light that illuminates the map every time someone looks at it dramatically. It isn't subtle, but that's what makes it fit this style of animation so well. For a theatrical release, a bit more effort could have been put in, but it's passable.
A Goofy Movie isn't a grand epic tale that digs deep into important issues -- it's a fun little tale about a boy and his dad. Goofy is definitely my favourite Disney character, and the script does an incredibly good job of keeping him ridiculous while still making me feel some genuine emotion about him. Like in Goof Troop, Goofy is a single dad, but now that Max is a bit older, he finds himself struggling to maintain his relationship with his son. Max is embarrassed by his dad in that way teenagers frequently are... and when your dad is Goofy, it's a pretty believable embarrassment. I can empathize with Max's desire to gain some independence from his parent, but I can just as easily sympathize with Goofy. The relationship is done very well. Some people might have wanted something with a bigger scope, but I think this modest story does the movie a favour: the emphasis is on what made the TV show good, while still expanding it to fit a movie format. Maybe a "Goof Troop Saves the World" movie could have worked, but that formula has been done to death. This works fine.
Is it a masterpiece? Probably not, but A Goofy Movie is still one of my personal favourites, bias taken into account. I grew up with those old Goofy cartoons, and I can see a lot of myself in Max and his relationship with his father. Sometimes, it is hard for a little boy to tell his dad, "I love you." If you don't understand that, you probably won't understand what makes me like this movie so much. And if you don't like Goofy... well, don't expect him to suddenly endear himself to you. He hasn't changed.
If you're a fan of Goof Troop, or if a father-son road trip movie with Goofy sounds like something you would enjoy regardless, check this one out. Maybe it's not really the best Disney movie, but it's far from the worst.

How Did Communism Start
How Did Communism Start?
How did Communism start? Communism, also known as Marxism or "Revolutionary Proletarian Socialism," is an economic and political philosophy. The summation of Communism is contained within the text of The Communist Manifesto, published by Karl Marx in 1848, and based on Friedrich Engels' first draft, Principles of Communism. Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) authored The Communist Manifesto at the request of the Communist League, a revolutionary society in Europe to which both men held membership.
The primary purpose of The Communist Manifesto was to outline the theory of Class Struggle and incite the Proletarian to revolt. Furthermore, it was to define a more ideal form of government, whose economic policy would do away with the Bourgeoisie class, thus freeing the Proletariat from the yoke of their Bourgeoisie "masters."
Essentially, The Communist Manifesto was an outcry against the adverse poverty of the Proletariat class.
How Did Communism Start?
Communism started because Marx, Engels, and other communist thinkers saw problems in society due to the unequal distribution of wealth. To usher in a utopian society for everyone, the distinctions between the rich and poor classes must be removed. Since the rich class will never give up their property and power voluntarily, a revolution of the poor, working class is necessary.
Communism is a socio-economic philosophy that maintains violent struggle is necessary to achieve a utopian, classless society. Whereas capitalism is a socio-economic system based on individual rights (and individual wealth), communism was created to be the direct opposite. Communism proposes equality (goal) through force (means). Individual rights and private property are lost to absolute government control for the ultimate benefit of the collective.
Communism dismisses religion as the opiate of the people, and embraces atheism as part of its socio-economic philosophy. Religion was part of the capitalist system designed by the rich to maintain power over the poor. Therefore, communism requires that religion be removed.

CARSON CITY – Southern Nevada utility customers will get a small break on their electricity bills beginning next week.
The reduction taking effect Tuesday is the result of an agreement approved Wednesday by the state Public Utilities Commission.
The agreement, reached by Nevada Power, doing business as NV Energy, PUC staff and the state Bureau of Consumer Protection, will save the typical residential customer in Southern Nevada about $1.35 a month.
The reduction is based on a customer using 1,145 kilowatt hours of electricity a month, and equates to a 0.88 percent decline from $154.04 to $152.69.
The reduction is the result of Nevada Power's deferred energy rate application filed in March. It encompasses fuel and purchased power expenses for 2013 and a reset of several renewable energy and energy efficiency program rates.
The initial filing proposed to increase rates an estimated 0.39 percent across all rate classes in Southern Nevada.
Instead, because of the agreement, rates will be lower starting July 1.
There was no opposition voiced to the proposal at a consumer session held Thursday.
The overall result is a decrease in the utility's revenue requirement of $20.7 million, or 0.90 percent.

Medtronic Jobs: Firm Will Double Chinese Workforce in 4 Years
A Chinese English-language newspaper, China Daily, is reporting that Medtronic (NYS: MST) is planning to double its workforce in the Asian nation in four years.
That will mean 2,000 employees will work at the Minnesota device maker's Chinese operations in 2015. Job openings will be available on all fronts, from sales and marketing to research and development.
Emerging markets make up 60% of Medtronic's international revenue, and China accounts for 40% of those emerging markets, confirmed Steve Cragle, a Medtronic spokesman.
"Emerging markets and the largest emerging market are absolutely important to our overall growth," Cragle noted.
Earlier this year in March, Medtronic, which makes new innovative medical devices, opened a new regional headquarters building in Shanghai.
The Chinese article quoted Medtronic's Jean-Luc Butel, executive vice president and group president of Medtronic International, saying that Medtronic aims to form new relationships with the Chinese medical-device industry through joint ventures and M&A activity.
In 2008, Medtronic and Shandong Weigao Group created a joint venture with Medtronic holding a 51% stake. The joint venture was created to market Medtronic's spinal products and Weigao's orthopedic products, which include therapies for the hip, shoulder, spine, and trauma in China.

FC Barcelona will be without left-back Fernando Navarro for the rest of the season after the Spanish Under-21 international suffered a serious knee injury.
Cruciate ligament
Navarro snapped the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Barcelona's league defeat by Sevilla FC on Sunday. He will undergo surgery this week but will be out of action for five or six months.
First choice
The 20-year-old played all bar one of Barcelona's ten UEFA Champions League games before the winter break, missing the Matchday 8 win against Newcastle United FC.
Costly absence
Navarro's absence leaves coach Louis van Gaal with only three fit defenders - Carles Puyol, Frank de Boer and Philippe Christanval - for this weekend's Primera División match at RCD Mallorca. Barcelona lie 13th in the table after the 3-0 loss against Sevilla.

6.6M HKM Nimbus 4 - yet another one takes to the wing
Not a new subject, but it's been quite some time so I thought I'd share a little bit of putting together my HKM Nimbus 4 this afternoon.
I dearly miss my 5 meter one (serious seller's regret) and really liked seeing Hans Weideker fly his at LASS last spring so I had John at HKM USA exchange that balance in my account for some fiberglass and bring one along to the JR Aero Tow last June (where I believe Tom Kallevang was also flying his). This bird has sat too long so time to put it together for the upcoming season. Since seeing servos going into wings is the hobby version of watching paint dry, I'll spare us all that tedium. There really isn't much news in this very nice kit. Scale is 1:4 making total span 6.6M. Each wing is a short root panel with flap and airbrake, then a big honkin` rectangular joiner, the outboard panel is two ailerons and finally short tips put an end to things. Center joiner is a large steel rod. One thing I did today was attack the really basic seat pan. It's none too impressive and looked sad lying in the bottom of the fuselage. These photos show adding "LET style" supports, dressing it up with parts from the scrap bin and getting the rudder and elevator sorted. I'm very interested in people's impressions of flying this bird, so please share anything here. I know Len Buffinton still has his for sale and having seen that one fly and taking a short turn at the sticks, I can highly recommend it now that it's "too small" for Len. More to come. Let the sharing begin... ImagesView all Images in thread

Nimbus 4
Hi SPasierB
Lovely to see a build from the seat up.... You ask about flying qualities.... I have the Icare/Icarus 5.2M version not the beautiful single seater HKM you have but feel I can comment just a little,, if I may? I haven't aerotowed mine yet but have sloped it. Absolutely realistic and a really ladylike performer in two-seat guise. Keep the speed up and everything tucked away on the wing and the hiss as she goes by is 1:1! Chandelles are my speciality - low G and high oooh factor! It's my intention to mount a GoPro on mine later this year - I'll post the vid soon as. I don't want to hi-jack this thread but, anyone out there got the 5.2M version so WE can compare notes as well? Anyway, I've enjoyed the first instalment of the fit-out, please keep 'em comin' Pete |
That's the one I had. Absolutely loved it. A great flying airframe, indicated lift just great and the wings made that nice Nimbus curve when you wanted.
I'm hoping this one serves me as well! Steve |
If I didn't love it, would it be my avatar?
Fly it like you would if your butt was in the cockpit and she handles wonderfully.
I absolutely love mine, coupled with the 12X and it's everything I could want in a scale model ... mine has flat basic/basic cockpit (no pan), I finally glued a head in there so she isn't a pilotless RPV anymore, but you've done a great job with the cockpit pan. With flap/spoiler mixing in landing mode, there is NO elevator compensation needed. She isn't an aerobat, I've kept mine right side up the whole time altho the video shows an inverted pass ... that just isn't scale to me I'm sitting here trying to remember all the mixes and such ... I do run the spoilers on Matchboxes to leave me a channel for the vario, and the tow release is a separate channel, not ganged with anything else. Have any specific questions I can help you with? tk |
I love the ball links you are using. What type are they?
They are 4-40 Sullivan S591 aluminum ball connectors with locking sleve from the local hobby store. Tower and others carry them... http://www.sullivanproducts.com/ContSysAccMainFrame.htm |
would love to know the suggested throws for various conditions. Tom has offered but his is in his basement and would't want to make it difficult for him.
This may be gps contender but good grief I have to maiden it first. Has anyone winched launched theirs. Seems like a good candidate. Regards Dean |
The Nimbus should winch just fine! Just make sure you set it up for a bridal and make sure you angle the towhooks down slightly so the rings slip off as soon as you get off the pedal! Also. I am ready to tow you with the Porter.. Just say the word! Randy |
Hi SP
Very cool Tuck & Roll its a shame to have to cover it up with your pilot, you have a hand lever on the control stick is that for a tow release on full size gliders ? Don |
The Nimbus has been sitting in the workshop all dusty and forlorn. After a major shop cleanup this morning, it was finally time to actually program it into the 11x. Now that this is the fourth plane I've programmed on that radio, it's a snap!
I also permanently attached the nose weight and put elastic cord on the retract doors. I had to run to WalMart for Velcro and decided to look in the sewing department and found some excellent 1/8" wide flat woven elastic. It worked out so well I replaced the nasty old stuff in my Duo Discus and replaced what was originally installed in my new 1:3 Ventus. I'm still waiting for the missing wing servo covers to come from HKM and have yet to do the red diamond detail on the nose. Axel is enjoying his new home but his "posterior" needed a serious liposuction session to fit into the pan and with the seat detailing I did. I think his name will officially be Old Flat Butt. I used 1:4 multiplex instruments in the cockpit, but of course forgot to take a few photos. It's essentially ready to fly now, but it looks like many more weeks until the snow gives way to grass. I'll post some photos and a flight report whenever that day comes. Steve PS: Don - I believe the lever is a wheel brake on the retract |

XThe official word: Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company announced today the Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD release of two-time Academy Award® nominee Ralph Fiennes' (Schindler's List, The English Patient) directorial debut, CORIOLANUS.
Fiennes, who also stars in the title role, was nominated for a 2012 BAFTA Award – Britain's equivalent to an Oscar® – for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. Based on the original play by William Shakespeare, the critically-acclaimed film features an award-winning cast that includes Gerard Butler (300, The Ugly Truth), Academy Award® winner Vanessa Redgrave (Julia, Howards End), Academy Award® nominee Jessica Chastain (The Help, Tree of Life), and Emmy® Award winner Brian Cox (Bourne Identity, HBO's "Deadwood").
A fast-paced, action-packed film, CORIOLANUS heads to retail on May 29, 2012 for an SRP of $34.99 for the Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and $26.98 for the DVD. In her review for Entertainment Weekly, film critic Lisa Schwarzbaum described Fiennes' interpretation of CORIOLANUS as "an utterly arresting, creative modern-day adaptation." David Edelstein, film critic for New York Magazine, wrote CORIOLANUS is "sensational and gripping," adding "Brian Cox is superb and Jessica Chastain is riveting!" Wrote The Hollywood Reporter's Ray Bennett, "Ralph Fiennes delivers heavyweight screen acting at its best," while Rolling Stone's Peter Travers exclaimed, "Ralph Fiennes, as star and commander, pulls off a triumph!"
The classic legend of honor and betrayal has been astonishingly re-imagined in this exhilarating action thriller that wields a profound relevance for today. Caius Martius 'Coriolanus' (star and director Ralph Fiennes) is a feared and revered Roman General, suddenly pitted against his own city and fellow citizens. Rebelling against the power-hungry designs of his manipulative mother (Vanessa Redgrave) and rejected by his own people, Coriolanus incites a riot that expels him from Rome. The banished hero joins forces with his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler) to exact his revenge — and determine his destiny.
The CORIOLANUS Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD special features include an audio commentary with the film's director and star, Ralph Fiennes, and a "The Making of Coriolanus" featurette. Note: Special features are subject to change.

Take your hand off the horse I was going to get! |
Our growing farms... |
Unlike the original Agricola, this is a two player only stripped down version. There are eight rounds instead of fourteen, and you have 3 family members to use for actions throughout the entire game. You no longer have to worry about feeding your family. Whew! Even with these changes, gameplay is fast paced and you reach the end of eight rounds very quickly, and realizing you didn't get to do half the things you planned on doing. While I felt like there was a lot of things to do left undone this first game, I'm not sure how I'll feel after twenty games. The original Agricola had decks of cards to add some variety for replay, and this version does not have anything like that. I'll have to see if the lack of random elements will hurt replay value, but for now, it's a fun game that you can fill a small chunk of spare time with.
My final farm - complete with failed expansion plan... |
Each round has four phases. The refill phase is first, when you place resources and animals on the game play sections according to the nicely printed picture instructions on the game board. The work phase is second, where you take turns placing your family members on the game board to collect resources or perform actions according to the section of the board you claim with your 'farmer'. This starts with the player with the starting player marker (which can be stolen via a board space) and continues until all 3 farmers from both players is on the board. The home phase is third and easiest - bring all your farmers home to the cottage on your land. The breeding phase is the last phase, and nets you one animal for each type you have two or more of. The rules comically point out that you cannot get more than one of a single type of animal this way each round "regardless of whatever romantic preconceptions you might have." This made me chuckle and compliment whoever wrote the rules...
Gwen's final farm - Hey! I think a couple of those pigs are illegal... |
We both felt the pressure of the last couple rounds to get in all we wanted to. In comparison to the original Agricola, this is a great feeling shared by both games. I always feel that time is short by the time you are in the last stretch, and there is still too much to accomplish. Choices have to be made based on how many point you'll gain, and it gets a bit easier to see what choices are necessary, and what well made plans are bust. I managed to pull off a heavy victory today, but I know I shouldn't underestimate my wife as she picks up strategy. Also, I know I have to watch her closely - if you inspect her farm, she's keeping one extra pig (black figures) than is allowed in an open pasture... Maybe she forgot to place her fence when she bought it... Gwen managed more stables than I did, but I managed more pastures with feeding troughs (orange buildings). Next game I'll try for a better balance and see if it makes a difference. It was always a race for space for the livestock.
And the winner is.... |
Scoring is fairly quick and simple, with points for each animal, bonus points according to the number of animals (too few and you get -3), scoring for fully used 3 space expansion pieces, and buildings. A little basic math and... Oh oh... Note to self, be nicer to wifey next time... After our first taste, we're both eager for a next time!
A quick word of warning, in case you for some odd reason want to ditch the box - the bonus points for the animals are listed on the sides of the bottom part of the box. Don't throw them out!
I noticed there is an expansion for the game already, adding more special buildings. We didn't manage to use all the special buildings this game, nor could I have seen us coming close with all there was to do. I imagine this expansion will be what will add the random element for replay value with more options in the game, but we'll hopefully see sometime in the future. I linked both the main game and expansion below in case you are interested in delving into the world of Agricola on a small scale.

Situated in the "Canadian life zone," the park offers a well represented example of a typical Sierra forest. During the development of the interpretive trail, focus was specific to native flora, emphasizing common factors affecting Sierra ecosystems.
While walking the nature trail, you may observe the difference between a Jeffrey pine and a Ponderosa pine. You will pass a burnt cedar stump from fires long past. You will walk through a ghost forest where displays interpret the ecosystem. You will learn what squirrels, birds and bears like to eat. You may even see a red-tailed hawk, Chickadee or Stellar Jay. You may learn how Native Americans used the Sierra plants for food. Illustrations will show you how soil is formed, why plants grow the way they grow and how the lumber industry has affected this area.
This trail was developed and constructed by the North Tahoe Parks Department. The Nature Trail is in need of some repair and updating, if you or your organization is interested in taking on this project, please contact the District

Samlyn Capital, Greenlight Capital, and Chilton Bolster Research Teams
July 29th, 2009 | ||
While many big hedge fund names have crashed and burned during the downturn, a number of established managers have expanded their investment teams by hiring talented industry veterans. In this week's report, we look at recent hires made by three hedge fund firms that manage more $1 billion in US equity assets each. The first fund is New York-based Samlyn Capital, which was founded in 2007 by Robert Pohly and his team from Sigma Capital, a SAC Capital subsidiary. The long/short equity manager has recently hired experienced analysts Doug McLane and Hunter Davis. Prior to Samlyn, Mr. McLane worked as an analyst for more than five and half years at growth-oriented Sirios Capital Management. Mr. Davis joined the firm in June. He has experience in private equity and investment banking at Wachovia Capital and Goldman Sachs, respectively. As of 3/31/09, Samlyn managed more than $1.2 billion in equity assets. Industry stalwart, Greenlight Capital has hired David Tepperman as an analyst. Mr. Tepperman was previously with New Jersey-based GSC Group. Greenlight was co-founded in 1996 by David Einhorn who garnered significant media coverage in 2008 by predicting the downfall of Lehman Brothers. The value-oriented shareholder activist firm currently oversees more than $2.4 billion in US Equities. The final firm is Richard Chilton's New York-based Chilton Investment Company. The hedge fund manager, which manages approximately $2.5 billion in US Equities, hired Mingli Kwang as an investment analyst. Kwang was previously a senior investment analyst at Maverick Capital, where he principally covered Asian equities. Chilton Investment Company is a long/short equity investor that primarily invests in securities of growth and special situation companies.

I am going to be leading a workshop in a couple of weeks at the Annual Conference of the Fellowship of Fundamental Bible Churches. The title for this workshop is "Whatcha' Reading?" (I did not come up with the title :) ).
As part of that workshop I want to discuss/consider some recent books of which pastors (in particular) should be aware - either because of their significance or because of their helpfulness.
I realize that people will have vastly different opinions of what is significant and what is helpful, but the more suggestions I can get on this, the greater help it will be as I seek to lead the discussion.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Just my thoughts,
(P.S. I am aware that Chris Anderson at My Two Cents has asked a somewhat similar question in a recent post. I will also be monitoring those responses, but this question is slightly different and may elicit some different responses.)

One book that really has me thinking right now is David Peterson's Possessed by God: A New Testament Theology of Sanctification and Holiness. Here is what he says in his conclusion:
"The popular view that sanctification is a process of moral renewal and change, following justification, is not the emphasis of the New Testament. Rather, sanctification is primarily another way of describing what it means to be converted or brought to God in Christ and kept in that relationship. It would be more accurate to say that renewal and change flow from the regeneration and sanctification that God has already accomplished in our lives."
I would say it is worth a read.
I also like Coming to Grips with Genesis, edited by Terry Mortenson and Thane Uty. This book approaches the creation debate from a much stronger foundation than the typical creationist fare in that it looks to the Bible as the primary source for refutation of evolution and support for Young Earth Creationism (YEC). I really believe this is the right approach to the topic.

The beginning of any new school year brings many changes. This year brings a change in our LMS, Blackboard. This past weekend we upgraded to a recent release to gain some additional features and improvements.
One of the more anticipated enhancements is the Student View building block. This add-on creates a button on the top of the content screen that instructors can use to see the course as their students will see it. Unlike toggling the edit mode button off, when in Student View instructors can see and interact with every aspect of their course in the role of a student. The tool creates an account that is enrolled in your course as a student. Since there is an actual student account any submissions are recorded. You can see, for example, how the test grades specific responses to partial credit questions.
Group management is enhanced with an "All Users" screen which lists the group membership of each individual enrolled in the course. This enhancement allows more efficient assignment of students to groups. In addition, when you create groups, you will have an option to create a Grade Center Smart View at the same time.
Date Management is a new tool that allows you to adjust dates associated with content items copied from a previous course, all at once. Once the system shifts the dates, you will see and be able to validate the new dates all from a single page.
Grading functionality is improved with the expansion of inline grading to Wikis, Blogs, Journals and Discussion Boards. Workflows for tests have been improved with the shift of "Score Attempts Using" to the Test Options page.
My Grades for students has been update with options to reorder scores by due date, last activity, or Grade Center alignment. The interface has been improved to provide more information in the same window. Instructor feedback is now inline reducing the number of clicks needed to get a complete picture of performance on individual items.
To read more about the enhancements in the upgraded Blackboard check out the Upgrade page on our website.

Luckily, they don't trot out the old "defense wins championship" cliché as much in baseball circles – but there's no denying there have been teams who improve their 'D' and then find increased success.
So, as we continue to poke and prod at the Orioles' competition in the American League East, it's worth a quick check of how these teams have been addressing their glovework in the offseason.
Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com wrote this week about the propensity of John Farrell (and his third base-infielders coach Brian Butterfield) to implement infield shifts on right-handed batters. Obviously Farrell and Butterfield are bringing that strategy with them from Toronto to Boston this season.
Shifting, of course, doesn't make you a better defensive team if the players can't pick it. Tampa Bay's Joe Maddon has been anointed the "King of Shifts" but his Rays committed more errors than any other team in the AL last year.
It's no coincidence that the Rays overhauled their infield this season, adding James Loney at first, Kelly Johnson at second and Yunel Escobar at shortstop. They expect those three newcomers will "turn what was an uncharacteristic weakness in 2012 into a strength this season," Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune writes.
"Getting back to a high standard of defense is really important," Maddon said in that story. "It's there. The defense is going to be there. We got pitchers who are going to put the ball on the ground and we'll be in the right spots [defensively]."
The Yankees had a plan to improve their outfield defense this spring, experimenting with Curtis Granderson in left and Brett Gardner in center, then Granderson broke his arm, changing those plans a bit.
The Red Sox added some speed in the outfield this offseason with Shane Victorino, but in terms of personnel, offense is still clearly their focus. Look no further than at short, as Boston has been leaning toward shortstops who can hit almost exclusively since Orlando Cabrera's defense helped them win a World Series title in 2004.
The Orioles, as alluded to earlier, leaned heavily on an improved defense in the second half of last season. They have Gold Glovers stationed at five positions, and Chris Davis has made it clear he wants to make it six.
What do you think?
On to this week's roundups...
New York Yankees
Granderson's injury is the buzz in Yankees camp, and the New York Times' Tyler Kepner writes that the Bombers suddenly seem short of the long ball.
Joba Chamberlain has opened the proverbial can of worms by saying he feels he can be a starter again.
And right-handed starter Phil Hughes may not be ready by Opening Day.
Tampa Bay Rays
Wil Myers has made his spring debut, and the first impression was 'very strong.'
Jose Molina is being lauded by the Rays for his ability to frame pitches behind the plate.
And the Rays still have high hopes for Tim Beckham, the No. 1 pick in 2008 who has yet to do much at even the Triple-A level.
Boston Red Sox
Third baseman Will Middlebrooks will see a specialist after leaving Wednesday night's game against the Orioles with right wrist soreness.
Newcomer Mike Napoli smells opportunity in Boston (as well as something else at Fenway), ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes writes.
Also, Ryan Dempster impressed in his spring debut with the Sox.
Toronto Star columnist Richard Griffin writes about the Dominican flavor at the top of the Blue Jays batting order.
MLB.com's Richard Justice writes that this once model franchise could come full circle.
Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun delves a little deeper into the personality of J.P. Arencibia. And it wouldn't be fair to broach that topic and not also include the latest video of the Jays catcher doing his Tim Kurkjian impersonation.

37pfl5604h/12 - Remote Control Not Working
So, 2 Years ago my flatmates and I bought a Philips TV (37pfl5604h/12) and 2 weeks ago the remote control stoped working. Reading some blogs and forums (Yes, I've changed the batteries several times) I've concluded that the receptor of the tv is broken. I wanted to know where can I buy a new one in Germany and how to change it (I've talked to some technicians and they want a fortune to do it, and I'm sure it's not rocket science to do it).

Hi Ben,
Sorry to see you're having problems with your television and remote control
Have you spoken to Philips in Germany directly about costs of repair? We would never recommend replacing any parts yourself, so it may be best to have a chat with them
You can contact them using the following link:

Two weeks ago, the Bengals were sitting in great position to get the No. 2 seed and grab a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs.
Two losses later, Cincinnati faces a game against Cleveland this Sunday with everything on the line.
If the Bengals win, they could still ascend to the second seed in the conference, but if they lose we could be witnessing a team spiraling out of control.
THE TWO SEED – In order to get week one of the playoffs as a rest week, the Bengals likely need to win the rest of their six games, or at the very least win five of those games.
Cincinnati will also need help from New England's opponents on the way, as the Patriots have a 1 1/2-game lead in the standings.
That being said, the Bengals have the head-to-head tiebreaker on New England, so as long as the two teams finished tied Cincinnati will have the higher seed.
The Patriots have a tough game at Carolina this week and another tough one at Gillette next week vs. Denver; the Bengals will need the Pats to lose one if not both of these games for Cincinnati to catch up.
New England also has Cleveland at home and a week 16 trip to Baltimore as well. In order for the two seed to fall to the Bengals, they may rely on division rivals to help them out down the stretch.
If the Patriots falter, the Bengals still need to surpass Indianapolis, which has a half-game lead in the standings.
The Colts' schedule isn't exactly easy either, as they travel to Arizona in Week 12 and Kansas City in Week 16.
Of course the biggest matchup left to determine the higher seed between the two is the Week 14 match up between the two at Paul Brown Stadium.
If the Bengals can win that game, they will have the head-to-head tiebreaker against both the Pats and the Colts.
Even if the two seed is out of reach by then, the three seed is much preferred to the four and that game should still be huge for both.
OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS – Obviously the Bengals could fall flat on their faces and only win one or two more games, but they could actually only lose one more game and still miss the postseason.
If both the Browns and Bengals finished at 11-5, then Cleveland will have won this coming week's matchup and will win the division as they will own the tiebreaker.
It's unlikely that the Browns will win out, given their tough games at New England and at the New York Jets, but in the NFL all outcomes are possible.
Once the division is out of play for Cincinnati, it comes down to the second wild card at the six seed as either Denver or Kansas City. Whichever doesn't win the AFC West will get the first wild card.
The Bengals have already lost the tiebreaker to Miami, which could win out and take the playoff's final playoff spot, regardless of final record Cincinnati must be a game up on Miami.
The Jets can also oust the Bengals from the postseason, but the Jets would have to finish a game ahead of Cincinnati due to the beating they received at Paul Brown Stadium.
That said, New York's remaining schedule isn't too rough other than a trip to Carolina in Week 15, and Cincinnati needs only to be tied with the Jets if they are the final two teams fighting for the six seed.
Baltimore, Tennessee, and San Diego are the other five-loss teams fighting for the final AFC wild card.
While Cincinnati doesn't play the Titans this year, it still have the Chargers in Week 15 and the Ravens again in Week 17. With a loss to either team, the Bengals lose another tiebreaker, and we all know that west coast trips haven't been great for Cincinnati, and the Ravens just knocked off the Bengals last week.
Here's hoping that week 17 is for a Bengals playoff bye, and not a play-in game for the orange and black.

i need one more post to post my resource list, hello Java , goodbye Pussy :)
Components are java gui elements. Container components like tab panes, jpanels, etc... can contain other components. In other words, you can put things like JTextAreas inside tab panes. The normal syntax is something like the following:
Java Code:... JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(); JPanel panel = new JPanel(); panel.add(textArea); ...

Its really not that scary. This took about 4 minutes to write:

ill fig out how to plug in everything else myself but, still open for more info to who ever wants to play teacher :)
If you look at my example, you should be able to extend it to yours. I did what you are trying to do but very simply. If your entire text editor is in a JPanel or JPane, you can simply copy/paste the entire panel into the JTabbedPane. However, you will also need to declare and import everything that your text editing JPanel/pane does, which is where it can get messy, esp. if you have many methods. The other idea (and prob. a much simpler one) is to simply wrap a tabbed pane around the existing code in the text editor class. Either way, start with a simply example that works (like mine) and build on it a bit at a time. Good Luck!

Well what im doing is putting together a program for experience.
What i wanted to do is put together a program that will hold all the info about the android app. So far ive decided i want :
Password protection - just 1 password at the start so as to not get in the wrong hands.
Then some tabs
Tab 1 : Company overview with a menu that people can click on different features and see a pic and some text .
Tab 2: Employee and Contacts list - We have around 200 ppl voulunteered to help out plus teachers, lawyers, advertisers and a board of advisors so i wanna make a spreadsheet with all this info.
Tab 3: A tree hierarchy of our business plan as of now . possibly editable but , at least viewable upon click.
and thats it as of now . id like to play with changing the background of swing as well or making my own GUI .
youll be seeing me around here alot im guessing , thanks for your help.

Your example works but, theres not much to connect the dots between the 2 projects bc you coded a bit diff from suns examples.
I understand the border layout now , and i want the tabs to be @ PAGE_START.
...so is it standard to put the border layout in the tabs or do you put the tabs in border layout?

import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Dimension;
public class BorderLayoutDemo {
public static boolean RIGHT_TO_LEFT = false;
public static void addComponentsToPane(Container pane) {
//Why is there a exclaimation after the if?
//What is jlabel?
//What is this statement doing . (it seems to be getting the bored layout and adding a pane
//but , i dont uderstand why this would be a if statement.
if (!(pane.getLayout() instanceof BorderLayout)) {
pane.add(new JLabel("Container doesn't use BorderLayout!"));
if (RIGHT_TO_LEFT) {
JButton button = new JButton("Button 1 (PAGE_START)");
pane.add(button, BorderLayout.CENTER);
//Make the center component big, since that's the
button = new JButton("Button 2 (CENTER)");
button.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 100));
pane.add(button, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
button = new JButton("Button 3 (LINE_START)");
pane.add(button, BorderLayout.LINE_START);
button = new JButton("Long-Named Button 4 (PAGE_END)");

I don't know what your gui is supposed to look like, but if I had an interface dominated by tab panes, then I would use no outer layout manager, and simply put the tab panel into the window. If the content of the tab is so complex that it needs a layout manager, then you can do that (for example, a couple rows/columns of buttons and a few text fields). However, if its simple, like a button and a text area, don't bother with fancy layout, it isn't needed. You can always put things into panes and panels to divide them up too.

Right now im using Dr. Java bc Netbeans just has to much shit for just begininng. I was scared to press or name anything and theres just to many ways 2 fuck up . Eventually i will transition but, both developers i ask for assitance at night agreed since this is my first language besides web languages i should learn the hard way doing code and transition into netbeans/eclipse. Plus ive always liked playing with code over programs like dreamweaver ect. ... i saw the sec about absolute positioning but , i haven't had a chance to read it yet.

If you know all the basics to java, (up to inheritence, hashtables, arraylists, treemaps file reading, exception handling etc) then I think at this stage you should move onto netbeans or eclipse. they both come with tutorials and once you spend a day or less (couple hours) learning those, it's not something you forgot easily.
This was how I approached it, and seemed to be quite easy. I felt the same way, in that I did not want to have to spend a few weeks learning an IDE when I had more important things to do (eg. learn java). But I think if you don't know the basics then a lot of basic settings that the IDE's have will seem very oblivious.
Netbeans has the advantage of GUI builders... which saves a lot of typing. But then if you don't know the basics I probably would not be jumping into swing and Gui's just yet as it may complicate things. *just my 2 cents.Last edited by gcampton; 12-28-2009 at 02:04 AM.

I would not recommend trying to decipher Sun's tutorial programs because they can get very confusing for newbies. Also ! means not, so !true could be read as "not true" which means false. The code if (!(pane.getLayout() instanceof BorderLayout)) means that it gets the layout of the pane, checks if is is borderlayout, and then applies not, !, to it so if it is border layout the if statement would be if(!true). Basically the if statement makes sure the pane uses borderlayout.

FOSTORIA - The city, citing four drug raids conducted at a home within two years, yesterday ordered the property's owner to demolish the structure within 20 days.
On Monday a team of police officers and agents from a joint drug task force raided the home at 537 S. Poplar St. and arrested two adults and seized an undetermined quantity of marijuana, Ecstasy, crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and criminal tools, police chief John McGuire said in a statement.
Mayor John Davoli said he was with the police chief and his officers for three hours during the raid and spoke with neighbors afterward to discuss the property.
Arrested were a tenant, Joseph Morton, Jr., 55, and Harmonie Poe, 27, of Findlay.
Mr. Morton was charged with obstruction of justice and persistent disorderly conduct. The police chief said other charges were pending, based on laboratory results.
Ms. Poe was charged with failure to appear in court on a warrant.
Mr. Davoli said juveniles and other adults were in the home at the time, and were questioned and released.
The demolition order, signed by zoning inspector Tiffany Shaver, cited the structure's alleged violation of the international property maintenance code that the city has adopted.
The violation notice cited the building's dilapidated condition, "unsafe, unsanitary, or otherwise unfit for human habitation or occupancy ."
The notice provides for an appeals process. The home is owned by Roy Reinhart of Alvada, Ohio. He could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Davoli said the city, through its zoning inspector, is trying to become more aggressive in cleaning up properties that have been neglected or are used for drug deals.
"These properties stick out like a sore thumb," he said.

It is naturally occurring in the body, with high concentrations found in the heart and skeletal muscles, nerve tissues, and the brain. L-carnosine levels in the body declines starting the age of 40. Other than age, stress and trauma also depletes the body's L-carnosine concentrations.
L-carnosine is a very potent anti-ageing nutrient. It performs a very unique function of rejuvenating the cells, restoring cell vitality and extending cellular life-cycle. According to experts, L-carnosine is the only substance made commercially available which possess this extraordinary ability. The antioxidant protection from L-carnosine makes the cells more resistant to oxidative stress or "cellular rust" produced from damaging free radicals. This free-radical damage is the leading cause of premature ageing and degenerative (age-related) diseases. Also, protecting the cells against free-radical induced damage gives way for the numerous L-carnosine benefits for health.
L-Carnosine Benefits
L-carnosine Side Effects
Until today, there is no known side effect of L-carnosine use. L-carnosine anti-ageing supplements are generally safe and nontoxic.
Possible Drug Interactions
In animal studies, Carnosine has been shown to reduce the absorption of certain antibiotics. This however, is not observed in humans. To avoid possible adverse effects, L-carnosine supplements should not be taken together with antibacterial medications.

low light should be easy, wire up a lensed white LED pair with one light on each side of the camera, it could even run the lights in sequence to help identify photos or other fake faces
Definitely, there are a lot of things that one can try to overcome poor lighting to make things work. But, that is not the point. The point here is that a manufacturer is not providing you a ready-made solution that one expects. I have got a DELL laptop that has face recognition feature but I hardly use it. Yep, you guessed it right, because of poor lighting (I come from a nation badly struggling with power shortage). I often use it at night (and hence in dark) and have to rely on manual password entry. For me, there is nothing new in the news (and I seriously think the appearance of this story on Slashdot look like a joke). If Lenovo, for example, could solve the problems like one mentioned above or could differentiate between real human and his photograph, then it would have made sense.
Yes but they're using Macs. Why not just use netbooks w/Windows 7 Starter? Cheaper for taxpayers and parents alike, and Windows 7 at least prepares them for the corporate world.
Why don't they simply go with Free/Libre Open source? This way one saves a lot, is not stuck to any particular platform and is actually learning something.
Uncertain fortune is thoroughly mastered by the equity of the calculation. - Blaise Pascal
