Isn't that the truth. 30 years ago, I jumped into a low wing aileron plane after flying rudder planes. Handling was drastically different enough, that I shortly Figure-9'd it, rekitting it in all its glory.
take your time. If I may suggest, Fly a low wing trainer until you can do figures of 8 where the center of the 8 is over the cross Rwy (or a similar mark) and your circles are even and flown at a constant speed and altitude (do this into the wind and down wind). Do this until you can do this repeatedly and make it look not as "just made it" but polished you will develop a good feel for the airplane. Use rudder in your turns (as done in full scale flying) not just ailerons and elevator. using rudder will allow you to control how tight you turn without banking the plane excessively and will prepare you for the use of rudder in take-offs and landings, which is crucial. Work on landings, try and get the plane to land in the first 3rd of the Rwy as close as you can to a pre-determined spot. this will further help you get a feel for a consistent approach. try and touch down on the main wheels and then let the tail settle, once it is on the ground apply (gently) up-elevator to peg the tail wheel on the ground and work on keeping the roll-out straight down the Rwy. On Take-offs, get used to applying the power very gradually. this will help you get the plane under control with the rudder much easier than if you whack the trottle open and the plane veers violently to the left. This leads to a dangerous situation (for the plane). the inexperienced pilot sees the plane running off the runway at a speed that looks to him as high speed, decides that he MUST get the plane off the ground before something else goes wrong and the pulls up-elevator.... the plane does get airborne and proceeds to tip-stall (War-birds are particularly prone to do this). in most instances this will result in the destruction of the plane. I speak from experience. this happened to me when I maidened my H9 Spitfire. I did manage to save it, just. If I had not waited until I had ample experience before trying to fly it the results would have been a destroyed plane. the picture was taken about a second after the plane left the ground. if I had not had full rates, a strong motor and Full right rudder I'd not had a chance of saving it. Happily the plane is still in one piece and flying. Obviously there are many other ways to enhance your flying skills, mu suggestions are just one way. the main point is not to rush and try to fly a plane until you are absolutely sure that you can manage if comfortably. Brgds, Danny |
Already doing all that! My turns are done mostly with rudder and opposite aileron so the plane turns almost if not flat. My landings are on the numbers, coming over the top of the corn rows too. I also do flat turns inverted, and starting to get lower to the ground when inverted. Been flying a 4*120, up until the wing snapped off and it did a death spiral. Building a new one from a kit instead of just getting the replacement fuse and wing from Sig. The ARF didn't hold together very well. I also have a T-34, which started as electric, converted to glow, and will make it electric once again. I was hoping the added power of a glow would improve its performance, but it flew the same.
I was finally relaxed and stating to perfect my loops doing Cuban 8's when the wing snapped off. However, all of my planes I did the maiden flights on, without any mishaps, so I am confident I can get the plane up and trimmed, and I really don't think I will have any issues flying the P-51, and once I learn its stall point, and what to look for as it approaches stall, I should be OK with it. I do that with all my planes, get it up high, then chop throttle and just keep holding up elevator and wings level until something gives. On my 4*, the nose drops, the Kadet it will drop left wing and nose, the T-34 drops either wing, and basically falls out of the sky. I'm thinking the P-51 will react the same. My Dewey, don't know yet since I only had one flight on it with the new engine, which resulted in a dead stick and picture perfect landing. Don't ask me why, but my Dead sticks are perfect every time. When I had the DLE20 on it, it would drop its nose. Its better balanced now with the Magnum on it, so I am not sure what it will do, if I ever get a chance to fly it again with the way the weather has been. |
You ought to try it with a rudder only plane. One learns to judge sink rate, rudder reaction (more rudder, nose drops, picking up speed), got to where I could put the plane within 10 feet of me. |
Nice going, I wouldn't feel as comfortable do that. Speaking of formations, couldn't but was reminded of this plane by Ken Willard (attached).
75% of all RC planes I've ever had were tail draggers I'm used to everything being a pain to takeoff. Keeps me on my toes. Seriously, my Pete n Poke needs right rudder for the first 75% of takeoff, less and less as it speeds up, then in the last 20% of throttle right before it gets to flying speed and the tail wheel lifts, the right thrust kicks in and I suddenly have to give it left rudder to keep it from going off the side of the runway. If I ever get a nose wheel equipped plane its gonna be easy peasy.
I've composed in such way that a reader who is new to the Hobby will not get the wrong idea that flying a war-bird straight after a high wing trainer is going to be easy. Brgds, Danny |
Years past, we did not have this luxury. Thus, there was a graduated upgrade path, which ensured the progressing R/C pilot did not get in over his/her head. Thus in general, high wing trainer, to shoulder wing trainer, to a mild low wing, then on to more aggressive planes. Also, the plethora of small electric R/C has allowed one to enter the hobby and sustain it at minimal cost. The smaller models, although more susceptible to wind, are lighter in weight and if flown over grass, preferably tall grass, don't rekit themselves like the .40 sized planes weighing 5 lbs. or more. |
Thumper, you are right.
the Sim is of great advantage, but has some potential negative issues. Seeing as the result of a crash in the sim is that the plane resets itself and you are ready to fly again the user can get into the habit of giving up as soon as the plane gets out of control, instead of fighting to regain control until it either crashes or he does regain control. This can become a habit and cause the person to lose a plane that he may have been able to save if he tried until the last moment. Brgds, Danny |
The one thing the sim does have a problem with is perspective. Its my biggest complaint because you lose orientation quickly on the sim, but in RL its easier to keep perspective. If I flew my plane out to where it looks like it does in the sim, it would be darn near out of radio range!
I know on RF4 I used a stationary view and that helped, at least it made the view a little more realistic rather than following the plane closely all the time.

Early this month, Andy Samberg announced he'd be leaving "Saturday Night Live" after seven seasons on the sketch comedy institution. Usually, this means a performer intends to pursue a movie career (whether that movie career will participate is another issue), and Samberg does have "That's My Boy," with fellow SNL alum Adam Sandler, opening this Friday, Sundance pick "Celeste and Jesse Forever" out in August and "The To Do List" (with Aubrey Plaza) in the hopper.
But Samberg's also already got a new TV project in the works, and it's British — BBC three announced today that he'll be starring opposite Welsh comedian and actor Greg Davies (of "The Inbetweeners") in "Cuckoo," a six-part comedy series that'll shoot this summer and air in the U.K. later this year.
"Cuckoo" focuses on Midlands couple Ken (Davies) and Lorna (Helen Baxendale) as they find out, to their horror, that their young daughter (Tamla Kari) has in her gap year travels met and gotten married to "self-appointed spiritual ninja" Cuckoo (Samberg). According to the the BBC:
Cuckoo is every parent's worst nightmare – a slacker full of outlandish, New Age ideas. Ken and Lorna have no choice but to welcome him into their family home – and if every Englishman's home is his castle, then this hippie has stormed Ken's fortress and plundered everything, most unforgivably, his princess.
The show's created and written by Robin French and Kieron Quirke and will be directed by Ben Taylor, and while it doesn't yet have a U.S. broadcaster, it's hard to imagine with Samberg on board that it won't get picked up by a network here.
Here's Samberg giving poncho-wearing a test-run in SNL Digital Short "Ras Trent":

AHHHH, I stood in that corridor, on my trip to Montepulciano. It's a beautiful building. Unfortunately, I can't add links to blog comments... :(
ReplyDelete too bad they played up the fact she's Dakota Fanning verus making her look like the Jane described in the book. Jane is supposed to have short chin length brown hair....
I like Dakota but am once again disappointed that the author's character description was not followed. Seriously, how hard is it it make the characters look like the author's vision?
**sigh**- AnonymousAugust 18, 2009 at 11:53 PM
I'm not trying to be rude, just honest but she is nothing special.
I agree with the other anon they should have stuck with the book and found someone else, not just Dakota because she's famous.

From OpenWetWare
The MIT BioMicro Center has five high-throughput Illumina sequencers, including a HiSeq 2000, three Genome Analyzers and one MiSeq. We support a wide variety of applications, such as ChIP-Seq, miRNA sequencing and RNA-seq. Each lane can potentially accomodate dozens of barcoded samples (depending on sequence complexity and desired coverage). Read lengths vary, depending on users, between 36nt and 150nt per end.
All questions about Illumina Sequencing can be directed to Kevin Thai at email@example.com.
Contents |
Illumina Massively Parallel Sequencing
Illumina sequencing works by binding randomly fragmented DNA to an optical flowcell. Fragments are sequenced by sequentially incorporating and imaging fluorescently labeled nucleotides in a "Sequencing-By-Synthesis" reaction. Illumina recently rolled out its TruSeq v3 reagent kits, improving read quality and reducing GC bias at high cluster densities. For an in-depth overview of the Illumina sequencing chemistry, please refer to Kirchner et al 2009.Platforms
HiSeq 2000
The Illumina HiSeq 2000 is the workhorse of BMC's Illumina fleet and is optimized for maximum yield and the lowest price per basepair. Each lane on the HiSeq is typically produces between 160 and 220 million reads passing our quality filter (for high quality libraries). HiSeq flowcells have 8 lanes, one of which is committed to a control sample that is used for base normalization (lane 1). Read lengths on the HiSeq very between 40 and 100nt per side and nearly all flowcells use barcoding to run multiple samples in each lane.In order to optimize work flow and keep costs under control, only full flowcells are run. Since all 8 lanes of the flowcell must be run at equal lengths, submissions of single lanes must be grouped with other similar read lengths. This means that some read lengths move through our queue faster then others because more samples of that length are submitted to the BioMicro Center for sequencing. 40nt single end (SE) samples are by far the most common and move through the queue rapidly followed by short paired end (40+40) runs. Many lengths are very unusual (eg. 100nt single end) and can wait months for sequencing. We strongly recommend moving samples with unusual read requirements to one of the other platforms. If you have questions about this (or any other aspect of sequencing) please do not hesitate to contact us.
The HiSeq2000 is ideal for:
- High numbers of multiplexed samples
- De novo sequencing
- SNP detection
- ChIPseq
- Bisulfite sequencing
- RNAseq
- Exome sequencing
The HiSeq2000 was donated to the BioMicro Center by Drs. Penny Chisholm and Chris Burge.
The MiSeq is the newest sequencer in the BioMicro Center. Unlike the HiSeq, the MiSeq is optimized for speed. The MiSeq has a single lane that can produce approximately 5 million reads passing filter. The MiSeq does *not* have a control lane so having good base balance is critical for runs on this sequencer. Amplicons, such as 16S, can be run on the sequencer but should be constructed to have phased sequencing. Highly unbalanced libraries, such as RRBS, should not be run on the MiSeq.The strength of the MiSeq is its speed and read length. The MiSeq is able to sequence 12nt/hour which allows it to complete a 150+150nt paired end read, from cluster to fastq files, in a little over a day. This compares to 2-3 weeks of sequencing on the HiSeq. Because the chemistry is on the flowcell for less time, error rates are much lower for the MiSeq then the HiSeq. New kits should push read length even longer, with 250+250PE kits coming soon and the Broad Institute having reported 400+400PE runs.
The MiSeq is ideal for:
- Small genome resequencing
- Targeted resequencing
- Metagenomics
- smRNA
- barcode sequencing
The HiSeq2000 was donated to the BioMicro Center by Dr. Chris Love.
Genome Analyzer IIx
The Genome Analyzer II (GAII) are the oldest sequencers in the BioMicro Center and remain the most flexible. The newer generations of Illumina sequencers have been designed with increasing focus on clinical applications and have removed some of the "hands on" aspects of the older GAIIs. The GAIIs remain the only sequencers where the actual images of the flowcell can be reprocessed for example.<ADD MORE>
The Genome Analyzer IIs were donated to the BioMicro Center by Drs. Penny Chisholm, Chris Burge, Ernest Fraenkel and the Dept of Biology with contributions from many others
Platform Comparison
Illumina currently provides reagents and support for four major sequencing applications:
The following application has been published but does not yet have a kit from Illumina:
- Genotyping: Protocols are being developed for detection of SNPs, chromosomal rearrangements and other genotyping applications.
Sample Preparation
Illumina sequencing requires the input of libraries which have been properly fragmented, ligated to specific adapters, and, in the case of RNA inputs, converted into complementary DNA. The BioMicro Center accepts fully prepared libraries from users and also offers a variety of sample preparation services for different applications.
Information is also available about multiplexing.
Quality control is very important for optimizing the number of reads and the quality of data produced. We run Bioanalyzer and RT-PCR for all submitted cDNA libraries for Illumina sequencing. For more information on QC methods and protocols please visit the Sequencing Quality Control page.
Data Analysis
Each flowcell lane flowcell should produce between 10 and 120 million DNA fragments as of September 2011. Understanding this data often requires a significant investment in informatics and many applications require entirely different interpretations of the data. As part of our sequencing service we provide many of the early steps of bioinformatics for different applications. Further data processing can be arranged on a collaborative basis as resources are available. For more information, check out the links below:
Protocols for all supported technologies can be found here.
Pricing and Priority
Full pricing information is available on our price list.
Priority for Illumina sequencing is currently given to labs associated with the BioMicro Center Core departments. We are able offer our services to other MIT and non-MIT users as space allows.
Turnaround Time
Each Genome Analyzer processes 8 samples per run, or 7 samples plus a control. Multiplexed pools of samples count as one for this purpose. The control is typically used to improve sequence quality. Full flowcells can usually be run within two weeks of submission. Partial submissions of less than eight samples (or 7 with control) are put into a project queue, where they join existing samples or await others before processing. Wait times for partial submissions vary depending on demand from other users. Once processing begins, approximately six days are required for clustering, sequencing, and data analysis for a 36-base-pair read. Longer reads add approximately one hour per additional base-pair including a second read and the barcode read, if either are present.
MIT Core Collaboration
Because of the layout of Illumina flowcells, samples must be run in batches of 7 lanes (a pool of multiplexed samples counts as one lane). In order to ensure quick throughput, we have established a collaboration that allows us to move partial flowcells between the various centers at MIT. For users with less then 4 samples, their samples may be moved between the BioMicro Center, the Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Technologies and the Koch Institute Biopolymer Center. Samples will be moved only to fill out runs or to expedite processing. The Centers are committed to working together to maintain consistent quality between the different cores, so you should see no difference whether your samples are run in BioMicro or at one of our sister centers. Transfers are only available for members of the MIT community.

This new mix from Rapper Big Pooh, formerly of Little Brother, serves less as a standalone project and more as a means of previewing his upcoming EP, FatBoyFresh Vol. 1: For Members Only. And he's linked with Statik Selektah and DJ Flash for the FatBoyFresh Vol. 1 mix that has been put together with that old-school, single-track flair. As such, snippets from the EP have been blended together seamlessly, allowing for a proper taste of what's to come on the project. The EP includes features from De La Soul's Posdnous, Kidz In The Hall's Naledge, Stat Quo, and several others. And they're all rapping over some topnotch production, too, which is handled by Young RJ, Madlib, Khrysis, and Mr. Porter, among others.
Download the mix over at DJ Booth.

"Just wanted to let you know of my brewery, The Spey Valley Brewerys and our beer Spey Stout which uses no finings. I make very small batches of beer, just 18gallons at a time, but am hoping to produce a larger batch in a bigger brewery soon. I intend to bottle this batch so wanted to include it on your website to let anyone interested in trying it know that it is vegan friendly. The brewery is too small at this stage to have any kind of certification, but as I am the brewer I can assure you that nothing other than the malt, hops, yeast and water are used in the brewing process. Carageenan, PVPP and silica hydrogel may be used in the bottling process as they filter the beer prior to bottling, but they are vegan friendly processing aids and I will be speaking to the bottlers to see if they'd be happy to bottle without any fining.
The other beers from the brewery are not available in bottles yet and do use isinglass finings at the moment, but I am still working on getting the appropriate clarity using bentonite. I'll be sure to let you know when those become available.
Anyway, thanks for reading and I'll send you a follow up email when the Spey Stout bottles are available."

King Starts Final Season On High Note
Sept. 1, 2012 ATHENS -- Throughout preseason Georgia's senior receiver Tavarres King has been referred to by teammates as a leader. On Saturday - in the Bulldogs' 45-23 victory over Buffalo - he led by example. King caught six passes for 117 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown grab. The TD came after King had previously been overthrown in the end zone on a similar post pattern. "Every time I got behind them I was just smiling because I knew it was coming," King said. "I didn't get upset, didn't get mad about anything. I just kept my cool and let it all play out." Eventually it did play out as the senior from Mount Airy, Ga., escaped the single coverage created by Georgia's effective run game and hooked up with quarterback Aaron Murray for the score that put the Bulldogs up 24-6. "We knew earlier they were going to single cover us when the running game got going," King said. "I got behind them on a couple of plays before, and I knew on those plays that I had the opportunity. When this one was there, me and Aaron never lost it." The fact this was King's final opening day wasn't lost on the receiver who said he took a little more time pre-game to enjoy the occasion. "It's crazy I was thinking about that on the bus ride," King said. "I was thinking 'Man this is my last go round.' That's when it finally sank in that I'm a senior and this is it. On the Dawg Walk I was extremely happy, hugging everybody. It was a pretty emotional day." He also said that he appreciates the small things more at the start of his final campaign wearing the red and black. "I feel like it takes a while for you to understand what the 'G' means to you, what this tradition and this Georgia pride is all about," King said. "I think the older you get and the more you mature, the more important those kinds of things matter to you." Sophomore flanker Chris Conley said that King's success is the result of the work he put In before Saturday's season opener.
"TK's been doing a great job of just preparing himself for this season...a lot of things behind closed doors that a lot of people can't see...putting in that time and that work and that effort," Conley said. "He's been doing a great job of preparing here and at practice, and it's showing up on the field. " Conley also said that he has seen a change in King's demeanor at the start of this season as he prepares for the last season of his collegiate career. "He's taking this year very seriously," Conley said. "Not that he hasn't taken past years seriously, but he's doing what it takes to go out strong and do it the way he wants to." |

Weaving philosophy and science together into a riveting, dystopian story of love and adventure, The Office of Mercy illuminates an all-too-real future imagined by a phenomenal new voice in fiction.
Twenty-four-year-old Natasha Wiley lives in America-Five - a high-tech, underground, utopian settlement where hunger and money do not exist, everyone has a job, and all basic needs are met. But when her mentor and colleague, Jeffrey, selects her to join a special team to venture Outside for the first time, Natasha's allegiances to home, society, and above all to Jeffrey are tested. She is forced to make a choice that may put the people she loves most in grave danger and change the world as she knows it.
The Office of Mercy is speculative fiction at its best with a deeply imagined, lush world, high-stakes adventure, and romance that will thrill fans of Suzanne Collins, Margaret Atwood, Justin Cronin, and Kazuo Ishiguro.
©2013 Ariel Djanikian (P)2013 Tantor
"Orwellian Hunger Games at Nuremberg"
The Office of Mercy presents a dystopic, post-apocalyptic vision of man's attempts to reestablish civilization following catastrophic societal disintegration. The tale picks up about 300 years after the collapse in a tiny oasis of civilization called America 5. This group represents several hundred inhabitants with advanced technology, including organ replacement offering near immortality. Despite, their advanced state, the colony lives within a confined space ringed by sensors on the alert for roaming tribes of other, less civilized humans migrating through their region. Our heroine, Natasha, works in the Office of Mercy, a euphemism for the group that tracks and kills these people ostensibly due to an ethical imperative that is so focused on eliminating suffering, that mercy killing (for all those outside the colony) is consider humane and noble.
Natasha struggles with the ethics as well as romantic love interests both inside and outside the colony and makes plenty of mistakes along the way, Besides the warped philosophy leading to strained ethical conclusions (since the tribes' people may suffer in the future, it's better to kill them now to relieve that potential suffering), the story suffers from multiple inconsistencies. For examples, with only several hundred people (the zetas, the 6th in line, only number around 80), it's hard to imagine how this installation can maintain their high tech medical facilities, computer systems, sophisticated electronics for peripheral sensors, as well as high tech weaponry that are essentially cruise missiles. There are references to other similar type colonies, but in over 300 years no attempt seems to have been made for contact. It's also hard to imagine individuals remaining complacent about being cooped up for decades in what is essentially a dictatorial regime that they have no say in (what's the point of immortality if someone else will always tell you what to do?). Finally, the main infodump occurred nearly at the end, was unimpressive as far as providing necessary background, and amounted to badgering an impressionable, confused young woman.
The narration is adequate, but unremarkable.

Ground Blizzard in Western and Southern Minnesota: February 11, 2003
The first ground blizzard of the season hit western and southern Minnesota on Tuesday, February 11, 2003.
The event began as a powerful Alberta Clipper brought light snow over southern Minnesota.
There was a band of heavier snow Tuesday morning with 1 to 3 inches from La Crosse, Wisconsin to
Watertown, South Dakota. Then strong northwest winds moved in behind the main area of
snow as it moved off to the south east. The peak gust seen was 63mph around noon at
Windom. The snow rapidly moved out of the Twin Cities area by lunch time and the
skies quickly cleared. There was enough instability for some convective snow showers
to develop and these briefly reduced visibility with the blowing snow over the Twin
Cities through early afternoon.
Listed below is information from a National Weather Service Public information statements about the strong winds
and damage from the ground blizzard.

meh, nope.
From Filmation's Season 1 Episode 39 Trouble in Arcadia: Queen Sumana rules the beautiful hidden city of Arcadia, where men are kept underground as slaves to mine arcalite, the mineral that fuels the invisible "power dome" force field that protects the city from outsiders, and only women are citizens allowed above ground.
I think her character looks great, and doesn't appear to be a difficult figure: a regular female body repaint, and a rare opportunity to reuse Queen Marlena's dress. I think the only new parts needed would be a new head and her characteristic dress sleeve extensions.
I think her throne is awesome too; too bad diorama accessories are out of the question.
A 2-pack of her together with Ananda (the slave masterthe only man admitted above groundand her future husband and king) could be a nice idea:
Regular Arcadians [see attachments] could make for a good and easy "army/population builder" 2-pack: a citizen/soldier woman and a slave miner (with two heads each for variation). And, just to complete the picture of characters that appear in this episode, there's also the Arcadian mistress of arms, who almost melted down He-Man's sword at Arcadia's foundry! Lastly, I've included a shot of an Arcadian airship, which has a simple design that, nonetheless, I've always thought looks pretty nice (again, too bad vehicles are also out of the question).
No thanks. Her arrogance and her hatred of men really got on my nerves. Sending the crown prince to the slave pits is an act of war and she didn't seem to care. I'm passing this one.
Oh, well... Didn't Granamyr's arrogance and hatred of humans also get on your nerves, and his sending He-Man and Teela to cut down the Skytree just so the old dragon could appease his jelousy towards the only being older than himself and finally contemplate the oldest tree's wood burn in his fireplace?
Sorry, but I find your argument ridiculous. Sumana was supposed to be the "bad guy" of the story, in the first place. And in any case, the Arcadian women's prejudices against men were: (a) a way to highlight real-world gender inequalities, by completely turning the tables and placing women in the role men have played throughout most history, (b) not entirely wanton and gratuitous, in the sense that their attitudes served a "purpose" in Arcadian society (Sumana explains it in the episode—you may not like her explanation, but she didn't view Arcadian men as inferior out of pure "hatred", as you suggest). Plus she redeemed herself at the end of the episode, admitting that her previous views and prejudices were misguided.
Although, thankfully, I concede that at least you've tried to argue something—unlike baronterror's very thoughtful previous remark.
Besides, isn't it the rule in this section that comments are for support only, or has that changed?
I'd like to see this figure eventually.

The leggy lass is at it again! This picture is the sexy siren's attempt to pep up the men in blue who have been struggling during their tour of England
Model and wannabe actor Poonam Pandey has been threatening to strip for quite some time now. She first swore to go nude if the Indian cricket team won the World Cup. But when the men in blue brought home the cup, Poonam didn't really stick to her statement. She said she would to do it whenever and wherever the team would ask her to. But unfortunately for the girl, Dhoni and his boys didn't react to her statements at all. The babe just doesn't seem to give up though. Now, she has posted a semi-nude picture of her on a micro-blogging site to inspire the cricket team which has been having a terrible run in England. She tweeted: "The world will see that I lived up to my inspiration. Now, I am sure my team will beat England. Our time has come." And just before uploading the pic, she said: "All my followers count till 100 and a motivational pic for Men in Blue is on its way."
If that wasn't enough Poonam went ahead and promised to upload one new revealing pic each time the Indian teams wins a match. "Hence forth I PROMISE Every Match the Boys win will Keep Posting PIX for Every Win..n It WIll get Hotter n Hotter Every time… But for the Day will Post One More Pic for u all .. but for that u Shud #Retweet my Previous tweet the More u do .. the Sooner i do!!!.. LOVE U ALL 🙂 Muuuuwwwaaaah."
Now we don't know if this picture is meant to make the Indian team focus on their game or whether it's a ploy to distract the England team enough for the Indians to pull of that elusive victory in the on-going England series! Anyway, we think that some of the B-town men should also take Ms Pandey's cue and offer to strip for a good cause. Salman Khan, John Abraham, Imran Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Shahrukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar- are you guys listening?

Showbiz Sandbox 204: The Argument Over Broadcast Retransmission Consent Fees
September 9, 2013
After a programming blackout that lasted more than month Time Warner Cable came to an agreement with CBS over retransmission consent fees. Unless the 20-year-old retransmission consent legislation is revised or updated, the number of network blackouts will continue to increase. Unfortunately the real losers in all such disputes are consumers.
The Time Warner Cable-CBS deal was reached just as the new television season is about to begin. We'll review some new series that have potential and are worth catching, as well as a few you might want to avoid.
Meanwhile, the book publishing industry was in the news last week with Amazon announcing plans to bundle e-books with the sale of traditional print copies, and a new startup hoping you'll stop buying books altogether and simply rent them.
Of course we also cover the week's top entertainment news including declining attendance on Broadway over the summer, Bruno Mars heads to the Super Bowl and a major personnel change at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

To our Zynga Community,
Today is a hard day for Zynga and an emotional one for every employee of our company. We are saying painful goodbyes to about 18pc of our Zynga brothers and sisters. The impact of these layoffs will be felt across every group in the company.
None of us ever expected to face a day like today, especially when so much of our culture has been about growth. But I think we all know this is necessary to move forward. The scale that served us so well in building and delivering the leading social gaming service on the web is now making it hard to successfully lead across mobile and multiplatform, which is where social games are going to be played.
These moves, while hard to face today, represent a proactive commitment to our mission of connecting the world through games. Mobile and touch screens are revolutionizing gaming. Our opportunity is to make mobile gaming truly social by offering people new, fun ways to meet, play and connect. By reducing our cost structure today we will offer our teams the runway they need to take risks and develop these breakthrough new social experiences.
Because we're making these moves proactively and from a position of financial strength, we can take care of laid off employees. We're offering generous severance packages that reflect our appreciation for all of their work and we hope this will provide a foundation as they pursue their next professional steps.
Although these are hard decisions, I'm confident that our strategy of building leading franchises and supporting them with the largest network is the right one for the long term. I'm encouraged by our recent progress. Running With Friends is a great example of the quality player experience we can deliver, already receiving an average 4.5 app star rating from 22,700 players in less than one month after launching. Our FarmVille franchise teams continue to innovate and deliver ground-breaking new social experiences like County Fair which, despite only being available on the web, is engaging 39m monthly players.
I want to thank every one of you for the spirit, creativity and energy that you've invested in Zynga. You've reintroduced a generation of people to gaming and through these games offered them new ways to connect with their families, make new friends and even sometimes find love.
Everyone will be affected by these changes and I'm sure there will be many follow up questions to this email. If you have specific questions relating to your project or team, please talk to your manager. For any other feedback or thoughts feel free to email me directly.

The GlobalMBA curriculum for the current and next cohorts are available at the links below. To understand the tables, recall that each university in the consortium selects a small group of students who function as a single cohort, studying together throughout the program. The opportunity to live, study, and travel with students from other nations represents one of the most important learning experiences in the GlobalMBA. All instruction is in English.
Teamwork is used intensively in the GlobalMBA. Traditionally each team consists of at least one student from each institution, deepening the intercultural aspects of the program. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, each student earns two master's degrees and a certificate of attendance.
All GlobalMBA students, regardless of the home university, must meet the following admission requirements.
Example Curriculum
Below is a list of links to sample syllabi for GlobalMBA courses. These merely provide an overview of the topics and design of the courses. The precise syllabus used for your cohort may differ somewhat from the sample syllabus, depending on the professor, text, etc.
Technische Hochschule Köln (formerly Cologne University of Applied Sciences)
October – January
University of Warsaw
February – June
Dongbei University of Finance and Economics
June – August
University of North Florida
August – December
Throughout Program
Travel Schedule
Degrees Earned
Upon successful completion of all program requirements, each GlobalMBA student earns two master's degrees:
Also, students will receive a certificate of participation from Dongbei University of Finance and Economics (DUFE); students are not eligible for a DUFE degree. The GlobalMBA program is a dual-degree program. Students must complete ALL program requirements to earn both degrees; is it not possible to complete part of the program and earn one degree.

Response to Original message18. I had all retirement funds in mutual funds and bondsI am afraid to look. they were with Vanguard..not much, but enough to get me by til I am 80. If they are gone, I will end up in the street. Its that simple. I have already lost 2 husbands, a son , and now my retirement. Last night I was looking up ways online to suicide. Yes, it is that bad, I am tired of grieving, but this may be the straw that breaks me if I dont have a retirement.May the FORCE be with you!
Serously suicidal people don't discuss it on message boards. Attention seekers and sympathy vampires discuss their rhetorical suicides with strangers.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.42 / 5.00 6,198 Views*edit* WEEKLY SIXTH!! No trophy, but it still feels special! :D
*edit* FWONT PWAGE!! This is great! I'm glad you guys liked it! :D
*edit* DAILY SCHECOND!! Thanks everyone! :D
Brace yourself Newgrounds...
I've pooped out a steaming nugget of fresh animation and it runs for a whopping, wait for it, 45 seconds.
I've always been one of those guys who would draw in class all the time, and now it's kind of starting to get out of control. I'm doing it when I go out for dinner, when I'm watching a band, in meetings at work, on the train, when I wake up with an idea in the middle of the night, while riding my bike... well not then but you get the idea.
So I've been drawing all these crazy characters for a while and decided I wanted to see what they'd look like moving around. I didn't want to spend time developing a story or personality for them, so I found a music track with lots of bloopey bleepey sounds and animated them as though they were dancing around and making the sounds with the music, which is National Zombie Attack by Tarteviant.
I believe this is the best animation I've done to date, and at 30 fps (1370 frames) it came to four weeks of hard work to make it, and I might use some of these characters again in a story in the future now that they've developed their own little personalities. Oh yeah, it'll continuously loop back to the start each time the music finishes, so don't sit there all day thinking something new is about to happen...
thrust your pelvis around the room dancing, chuck us a review, and if you like it please submit it to the music video collection.
So AWESOME!
I used to watch this about three times a day, and now that I have watched it again I can see why. I really love the choice of music, and characters are really weird and awesome, then it all comes together really well! My favourite character is the green dog looking thing in the far left corner, he's so cool!
wow, thanks for letting me know that you like it so much! I love that green guy too!! :D
Very nice!
I really like this! Very good job, i think the music adds a very good effect. 10/10
Thanks! I'm glad! :D
Who needs sleep anyway?
I liked it. Music and art was good.
But I don't know, but the music and made it creepy though.
I wanted it to be a little creepy :)
thats really cool ithink you should make a part 3
Thanks man, I will hopefully in the new year :)
This is pretty Awesome man! I am really impressed how much this amazes me. I hope you make more videos like this in the future man! Thanks for sharing the video. [:
I'm really amazed by everyone's positive responses to the video. I didn't think many people would like it because of it's lot of story and dialogue and just made it for my personal enjoyment. I will keep making them, thanks for letting me know you're out there! :D

Written by Gregg Brekke
National religious leaders, Congress members and recipients of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamps) gathered at a Washington, D.C., Safeway supermarket Oct. 27 for a press conference and a shopping trip for a week's worth of groceries. Their challenge was to spend no more than the weekly SNAP allotment of $31.50 per family.
With Congress considering cuts in SNAP, the religious community is focusing the country's attention on the realities of hunger and poverty. An estimated 45 million Americans currently receive food via SNAP.
"The timing is very important in that comes when the Super-Committee is deliberating and will soon be delivering its recommendations for deficit reductions to Congress by Nov. 23," said Sandy Sorensen, director of UCC offices in Washington, D.C. The Super-Committee comprises 12 members charged with submitting the proposal.
"Faith leaders were accompanied by recipients of food stamps," said Sorensen. "It was interesting to watch because (the food-stamp recipients) know this territory and know how difficult it is to find quality, nutritional food and still remain within the budget of $31.50 a week to feed a family."
Sorensen said one team of shoppers found itself $6 or $7 over budget. "The things they needed to put back were peanut butter and rice," she said. "We're talking about choices involving peanut butter and rice. We're not talking about steaks here."
The national event marks the beginning of the fourth annual Fighting Poverty With Faith mobilization. Co-sponsored by the Jewish Council for Public affairs, Catholic Charities USA and the National Council of Churches, Fighting Poverty With Faith comprises more than 50 national faith organizations.
Among featured guests and speakers Oct. 27 were: Fr. Larry Snyder, president of Catholic Charities USA; Rabbi Steve Gutow, president of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs; the Rev. Peg Chemberlin, president of the National Council of Churches; Sayyid Syeed, director of Interfaith and Community Alliances, Islamic Society of North America; Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D – Mo.); Kathleen Merrigan, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture; and local SNAP recipients.
"So many of us have no idea what it is like to struggle to feed families on $4.50 a day," said Chemberlin, who once had been on food stamps. "I challenge all of us to share in that struggle for a week, not merely to attract attention to the growing needs of persons in poverty, but as a reminder that God does not expect any of us to turn our backs on others in need."
Added Sorensen, "The notion that these baseline programs that help people survive from day to day could be threatened is just really alarming. You can just see that what we have now is barely enough for people to get by."

Interprofessional Education
Kathy L. Coufal, PhD, Professor and Chair and Doctoral Coordinator andJulie Scherz, PhD, Associate Professor and Graduate CoordinatorCommunications Sciences and DisordersWichita State University
A variety of terms have been used to draw attention to the cooperation needed among stakeholders involved in providing interprofessional practice (IPP), and therefore to the need for interprofessional education (IPE) to prepare the future workforce (Odegard, 2006). The term interprofessional education has been defined as "a learning process in which different professionals learn from, with, and about each other in order to develop collaborative practice" (Freeth, Hammick, Koppel, Reeves, & Barr, 2002, p. 2). If the goal is to produce professionals who advocate for and engage in coordinated patient care, preprofessional education programs must provide their students with a forum that allows them to learn together.
Why does personnel preparation continue to be discipline-centered when substantial evidence exists that demonstrates the efficacy of interprofessional team processes as best practice to achieve optimal performance outcomes (i.e., Coufal, 1993a; Mackenzie et al., 2007)? In communication sciences and disorders (CSD), the call to action is not new. The theoretical framework, critical components, and professional competencies essential to an interprofessional, holistic approach to service delivery were summarized by Coufal (1993b) and followed by implementation examples. The contemporary lexicon has changed slightly, but, moreover, the conversation has been expanded to include more partners. The primary impetus for this change is the pressures put upon all health care providers; earlier conversations occurred largely in the context of special education (Ensher, 1989; Gutkin, 1993; Hillier, Civetta, & Pridham, 2010).
To prepare future CSD professionals to be successful in any work setting requires the creation of diverse learning environments that engage students in developing their understanding of how their discipline-specific knowledge can be integral to team-based decision making. To attain such outcomes demands that those of us in higher education engage in conversations with our colleagues across disciplines and immerse students in learning opportunities that involve critical thinking and effective communication about roles, responsibilities, team processes, leadership, and systems theory. We cannot presume that students will infer such knowledge or develop effective interpersonal, team-based skills unless they have overt instruction, models, and meaningful experiences, followed by feedback from experienced professionals. Bhutta et al. (2010) made clear that the paradigm shifts in educational programs and institutional functions require dialogue and debate that lead to partnership, collaboration, and the formation of teams. Such shifts depend on a well-organized and comprehensive evidence-based foundation, coupled with tools for implementation that result in collaborative team functioning.
The evolution from discipline-specific care and hierarchical processes toward an inclusionary team process requires that every member of the team develop and employ strong relational skills and effectively coordinate his or her work with the work of other team members. "Relational coordination in the form of high-quality communication, mutual positive regard, trust, and active engagement are associated with a stronger collective identity, reduction in status differential, increased ability to respond to pressures with resilience, job satisfaction, and retention of staff" (Weiss, Tilin, & Morgan, 2014, p. xxiii). To develop students' knowledge and skills, to prepare them to become valuable members of the team, they must develop these abilities and perspectives in tandem with the discipline-specific competencies they bring to the team. Further, they must understand the stages of team development and their roles and responsibilities in that evolution. Some characteristics of a team are preexisting, such as each member's discipline-specific responsibility to the client and the shared concern among other professionals, the client, and the client's contextual partner(s). Other qualities of the team evolve as the members engage in the complex process of determining mutually defined goals, developing trust, sharing ownership and responsibility for both process and outcomes, and effectively communicating with one another. The collective wisdom of the team emerges through the process and results in new understandings and perspectives, as well as creative solutions to complex problems—solutions different from what any individual team member would derive if working alone (Coufal, 1993b).
To accomplish the mandate of IPE, an expert panel identified four core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice (Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel, 2011). These are:
At Wichita State University, we have experimented with several IPE activities to promote development of these competencies. The following are a few examples.
In each of these experiences, our students started with an initial sense of frustration when their counterparts appeared to know nothing about our discipline-specific roles and responsibilities. By the same token, however, our students had little understanding of the roles and responsibilities of their team members' disciplines. A sense of appreciation emerged over time through teamwork and communication, as students learned a common patient-centered approach to solving complex problems.
This work will not be without difficulty! Faculty need to learn to leave their discipline-specific silos just as much as do their students. The need to concede bits of knowledge or practice approaches to another professional has caused consternation for some faculty. In that light, faculty development is as necessary a part of the interprofessional picture as student development. Faculty from different disciplines in the College of Health Professions at Wichita State have worked together to develop simulation scenarios to engage students. Brown-bag lunch sessions have been devoted to topics related to the provision of IPE.
Given the enthusiastic responses we have seen from our students, the work required in the development of interprofessional education activities should be well worth the effort.

A July 29 article in the Toronto Star, entitled "Ontario's pit bull ban: The pit bull underground railroad," compels my brisk re-entry into the debate over dangerous-dog legislation. The offensive Star title alone cries out for condemnation, implying as it does that rescuing dogs is morally comparable to rescuing human slaves.
The article reports on a litter of seven illegally-bred "pirate puppies" by a mixed-breed bitch in Ontario. A pit bull (PB) activist "spirited" them to Halifax (home to several recent PB attacks). The activist's greater purpose was to promote Bill 16 — a private members bill in its third incarnation — that would end Ontario's PB ban.
The article was dense with sentimentality (the innocent puppies "hadn't done anything wrong"). It relied uncritically on PB scofflaws and apologists without balance from disinterested researchers. And it failed to challenge the puppy rescuer's fallacious credo: "It's the deed, not the breed."
Fact: When it comes to dog bites, it very often is the breed. Each year, about one PB in 100,000 kills someone, compared with one non-PB in about 10 million. About one adopted PB in 30,000 kills or disfigures someone after passing behavioral screening. (Other dangerous breeds, like Rottweilers and Huskies do plenty of damage too; more on them another time).
For a preview of Ontario if it lifts the PB ban, harken to the experience of internationally acclaimed animal behaviourist Alexandra Semyonova, author of The 100 Silliest Things People Say About Dogs (published in 2009).
Semyonova worked for years at a humane shelter in the Netherlands. During their ban years, they took in four or five PBs annually (mostly collateral catch from drug raids). In 2008, the year of the ban lift, there were 180 PBs awaiting execution; all had hurt someone. Today, various dog shelters there are going bankrupt, because they can't handle the tsunami of dumped PBs.
PB advocates are passionate and verbally aggressive. When Semyonova spoke publicly about the inherent dangers of PBs, she was smeared through a methodical intimidation campaign so virulent that the Dutch Ministry of Justice acknowledged it as a pattern clearly constituting organized crime. "If you speak out about pit bulls, you are on your own," Semyonova writes. She notes that confiscated PBs were never sent to their home-town shelters "in order to prevent the violent, histrionic break-in rescues that the pit bull lobby sometimes organized."
Her findings are borne out in the U.S. and Canada. According to Merritt Clifton, for decades a statistics-driven investigative reporter in this field, PBs accounted for 930,000 shelter killings in 2011, 60% of the U.S. total, even though they represent 3.3% of the dog population. PBs also account for 51% of dogs impounded for attacking other animals. Each year, from 33% to 45% of the total U.S. PB population enters an animal shelter, "a phenomenon never seen with any other dog breed." Clifton says there are few accidental PB births, "because nothing resembling a pit bull occurs in nature."
In their unconditional love for PBs — there are apparently more PB advocacy organizations than for all other specific breeds combined — denialists all quote each other's baseless statements in an endless loop, and parrot the same Manchurian-candidates mantras: "My PB may lick you to death"; "all dogs bite"; "It's the owner, not the breed"; "the pit bull was the most popular family pet in America."
These are all myths. Dog-sales statistics show that PBs were never that popular in America; and they were never bred for anything but fighting. All dogs bite, but few do serious damage on a statistically consistent basis. Some PBs may lick you; others may maul you. Nobody can predict their behaviour — not even celebrated dog whisperer César Milan, as a recent YouTubed episode rather horrifyingly demonstrated.
The fact is, even responsible owners cannot prevent PB attacks. Most killer PBs were raised in loving homes and seemed sweet — until they attacked. Semyonova says, "There is no temperament test or behaviour test that can predict or assure that a pit bull won't suddenly do what it was bred to do." PB "impulsive aggression" is a genetically carried trait and strongly heritable. By seven months, those cuddly pups usually start attacking other animals without provocation. Small children are at particular risk for harm because they are easy prey.
Yes, abused, starved, endlessly-chained or desperately cornered dogs of other breeds will fight, but not to the death like PBs. Once PBs attack (without warning, unlike other breeds), with their characteristic grab-and-shake death lock, they are so pain-insensitive they are almost impossible to dislodge.
But the off-the-charts actuarial stats on PB harm are no match for the PB propaganda machine — of which the Toronto Star now has declared itself a part.
So naïve people keep buying them. Then they find they can't manage them. Typically, according to Clifton, they arrive in shelters at about 18 months, and unlike other dogs, have been through three homes: their birth home, the home they were sold to, and a third rehabilitation-attempt home that gave up on them.
Since 1982, PBs and close mixes account for: 45% of all U.S. and Canadian human dog-attack fatalities, a total of 207; 51% of all dog-attack disfigurements of children, 850; and 66% of all dog-attack disfigurements of adults, more than 700. According to Clifton, media databases show that there has never been a time when PBs did not account for more than half of all fatal dog attacks over any given 10-year interval, even though PBs (by all their alias names) never amounted to even 1% of dogs in the U.S. and Canada until 30 years ago.
Bans work. In 1989, Denver passed the strongest and oldest PB ban still in effect. The result is that Denver is one of few major U.S. cities that hasn't had a dog-attack fatality in 20 years. Ontario adopted its law prohibiting PB possession in 2005 (with a provision grandfathering responsibly owned dogs). Ontario shelters now kill fewer PBs serving a population of 13 million people than does Detroit, with no ban, and a human population of 1.2 million. Lift the ban and Ontario will enable tragic, preventable human and animal carnage, while condemning thousands of dumped dogs to death every year.
What is particularly disheartening about the "canine correctness" one constantly encounters in this debate is that so many influential people and organizations — including some veterinarians, kennel clubs and the SPCA — lend their credibility to the claim that no breed may be said to be more dangerous than any other.
One e-mail denialist triumphantly held up a petition attesting to PBs' good character signed by 4,000 veterinarians as proof of their worthiness. I replied that veterinarians cannot always be counted on to be disinterested observers; they have to be on good terms with all their clients and cannot afford to offend the PB lobby.
Send me a petition from 4,000 emergency-room doctors insisting PBs are no more dangerous than any other breed, I wrote her, and I will reconsider my opinion.
Still waiting.
National Post
On Wednesday morning, the National Post received this letter to the editor. At the writer's request, we are withholding their name for the reason stated below.
I am a regular reader of the National Post and Barbara Kay's articles. Please withhold my personal information, as my workplace (a hospital) is a bit Orwellian and communicating with the media is frowned upon, and even punishable.
The article today on pit bulls is absolutely 100% correct, and your invoking the opinion of emergency physicians' opinions on the matter is also correct. I am such an emergency physician, having practiced full-time in ERs of eastern Toronto for some 17 years.
I have seen many many dog bites over the course of 5-6 weekly ER shifts during the time. I have seen no deaths. I have seen 3 very severe maulings, and all were committed by pit bulls. One was a man mauled by a pit bull on the loose at 4 AM, and his face resembled hamburger. Another was a 9-year-old immigrant child whose family was (incredibly) given a pit bull by the Humane Society as a family pet; her shredded legs needed hours of surgery. All the other dog bite injuries I have seen have paled in comparison to those from pit bulls, though to be fair I have not seen a lot of injuries from huskies. And, yes, I ask every patient with a dog bite about the breed that bit them. And, yes, I remember very well all the bad ones. As well, I do not recall any pit bull bite that was in any way minor or incidental, for example from a bit of confusion over a chew toy or that sort of thing where there is a little nip.
You may get a letter from some misguided or misinformed or wilfully disagreeable (for whatever reason) ER doc saying pit bulls aren't so bad at all. I'm writing to you now to support your article, and allow you to disagree with any ridiculous support for pit bulls coming from such an ER physician.

Operation Comics, Issue #2
In this second issue, Wonderguy encounters a villain named the Shape Master. He used to be Ernie Schwump, a shiftless worker at a government research facility, until he messed with some equipment he should not have. Now he is able to change shapes at will, and he decides to use this power for evil. It's up to Wonderguy, Claire, and Dillon to find his weakness, and put a stop to his shenanigans.
In this issue, the mathematics concepts of the volume of a rectangular prism, cylinder, and sphere are presented.
This issue was reviewed by Michelle Robertson for Readers' Favorite:
Rating: 5.0 stars
"The Shape of Things: Operation Comics #2" is written by Bruce Kessler. "The Shape of Things" was uniquely created as an adventurer-educational comic. The layout and design of the book is spectacular, filled with vibrant colors and descriptive pictures allowing the reader to follow the story simply by looking at the pictures. An everyday super hero helps citizens and law enforcement. A particular villain is involved in an unusual accident that causes him to be able to change shape and become different sizes as well. Children at an elementary school previously saved by the hero aided in helping capture this villain by using their own knowledge of a math lesson previously learned during school.
"The Shape of Things: The Operation Comics #2" is a fun adventurous story-comic book for children of all ages to enjoy. Children will not only indulge themselves in an adventure story but learn a lesson in math at the same time. This comic book is a great reference and tool for schools/educators/and parents. I was a little skeptical at first about reading a comic that was classified under "Children's Education". When I was growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, that was just not our typical comic genre. We found Batman and Superman as adventurous and courageous, maybe offering a life lesson from time to time but not really any academic lessons. "The Shape of Things" is creatively written and drawn making students think back to what they learned in class to help solve the mystery of the super villain. I loved that the work of solving the problem was drawn out and stated within the comic. I myself found it embarrassing that I did not remember the formula talked about within the comic. It was refreshing to see it on the pages, and I will be using it as a reference when I forget it, or my children have trouble in the future with a math lesson.
