This is going to be my third article of many to come. The article series is the how to when it comes to writing in the children's market. It is going to be a considerably long series so keep checking back for new updates.
Children hate it when they can't check out the book they want because it's going to be too hard for them to read. That as why as writers we write what's called easy readers. There for kids that are in the in between stage of reading. There still developing their skills but they want to read. So we have to get them reading a good story through easy readers and then we will have them reading for life.
Easy readers are books that are a step up from picture books. Even though adults are still the primary buyers of easy readers the books themselves are intended for children in kindergarten to grade 3. An easy reader usually runs about 64 pages long and is formatted very differently. The story is usually divided into sections that are meant to resemble chapters.
There are some pictures in easy readers but they don't mean as much as they did in picture books. Plots are kept simple by focusing on one main character and only one event. It is important to know that the characters must be children and children will always solve all conflicts. Kids at this age don't mind reading cross gender stories.
You have to use humor, suspense or action to keep the children interested and keep the stories moving. You have to remember that these kids are just starting school so there is a whole new world opening up to them. There are so many topics to write about at this point. All you have to do is open your eyes and you can write about what you see.
Dialogue is used very freely when it comes to easy readers. Dialogue is a very important way to keep the story moving. It also helps to keep a lot of whit space on the page thus making it easier for the children to get through a page. You have to still use proper sentence structure but you have to keep them simple. There are no specified vocabulary lists because children are learning how to sound out words at this age. However you don't want to make things too difficult.
To sum it up while developing an idea for your story make sure you keep the plot simple and limit your main characters to no more than 2. Once you are done your manuscript should be 20 to 25 double spaced pages.

July 25, 1787
A letter from Petersburgh, dated June 20, says, that that Government is busily occupied in establishing its power on the Black Sea, and has likewise formed the project of extending it, if possible, on the other seas at the extremity of the empire. With this design they have ordered a frigate of 36 guns and three other vessels to be fitted out, besides a small squadron, destined particularly to take the soundings and examine the coasts of China and Japan, and afterwards those of Kamschatka, that new and correct charts may be made of those coasts, in order to render the navigation of them more secure, or to procure an exact knowledge of those parts. These vessels will proceed by the way of the India Sea, and will sail directly from Cronstadt for the Cape of Good Hope. Capt. Maulowsky has been to receive his instructions from the Empress herself at Kiow.

Mor Aldenn Cover!
Mario Zuccarello has delivered the first of three full colour covers, the one for the Guide. This means that I can finally start planning the actual layout of the book, which is something of a challenge, as I have just begun dabbling in desktop publishing.
Below you'll find two versions of a possible cover. Feel free to offer your oppinions to which you like the best, or if you think both of them suck! 🙂

I prefer the "framed" artwork of covers 1 and 3.
I like the larger picture on cover 3 but I prefer the title placement on cover 1 (with Mor Aldenn sitting halfway on the picture, halfway on the "frame").

Well, I guess that one has become kind of a Benefit-classic 😉
But why do I even need a primer?
A good primer should prep your skin before applying concealer, foundation etc. and help it to last longer. But this one does more! It brightens your teint and can be used throughout the day for a touch-up to make you look more awake.
- makes your skin smooth and helps foundation to blend in better
- blends in really well and fast itself
- has a scent like bubble gum (to me; which I personally love!)
- easy to use: just twist the base until the product is distributed on top
– due to that: amount can be controlled easily
- perfect to touch-up your make-up throughout the day (especially in summer!)
- makes you look more awake, takes away any dullness
- lightweight texture
- sweet design of packaging (as always with Benefit!)
- can be worn alone or just with powder on top
- makes your make-up last longer (though: see CON)
"Why we love it!
Our silky pink primer takes your complexion from dull to darling! Simply blend it on for the look of brighter, smoother skin. Contains light-reflecting pigments to help brighten all skin tones and raspberry & chamomile to soothe skin.
How to apply
Twist the base until the primer is distributed on the top. Apply with fingertips onto the face. Blend this silky pink primer in an even, upward motion. Wear alone or under makeup for smoother makeup application. Gently pat on during the day to re-brighten your complexion.
Beauty tip
"That gal" is the perfect partner to your foundation or moisturizer. If you're a no-makeup gal, wear it solo for a darling glow."
- has a really sweet scent, that not anybody might like
- doesn't replace your moisturizer – will settle in dry spots if you don't use one before (on really dry skin)
- there's only one shade, which may not be perfect for darker skin tones
- if you're searching for something that makes your make-up last really long, that effect might not be enough for you with this product – but I personally feel like that's not really the main-purpose of it
Recommendation: ✓

Haircut. Yes, that's right. The blogger who is often referred to as "Shaggy" because of his external excess of hair has finally got a haircut–the first since March.
For a while there, I was really contemplating just taking a hacksaw to it and ending the madness (partially because it gets really hot in the summer here, and having as much hair as I did made it even more unbearable, and partially because I'm rather impulsive). But I didn't. Instead, I went to a local salon and got the best seventeen dollar haircut of my life!
Granted, seventeen dollars is a little on the high end for a haircut, and the bangs are a little short, but this does not deter me. As the saying goes, "The difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is a week."
So, you see, my plan is to freeze all time except for my hair for one week to let the bangs grow out a bit, and then unfreeze it so they don't grow too much. However, in what way I am to accomplish this I know not. Probably I'll resort to black magic. You know, stuff like ritualistic slaughtering of fawns, drinking human blood, listening to the Spice Girls, etc. Normal black magic stuff.
Well…That's about for my hair. And, as I have to go clean downstairs, I'm off. I'll be back tomorrow with another edition of Ask Seth–Stay tuned! Or, erm, something of that sort…

Last week, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned that a major cyber attack is an imminent threat and could have a devastating impact on the level of a super storm like Hurricanes Katrina or Sandy.
According to Napolitano a "cyber 9/11" could happen "imminently" and that critical infrastructure — including water, electricity and gas — was very vulnerable to such a strike. An attack on infrastructure could shut down power for large swathes of the country for weeks or longer.
Napolitano has urged Congress to pass legislation governing cyber security so the government could share information with the private sector to prevent an attack on infrastructure, much of which is privately owned.
So far, achieving any sort of legislation has failed. A cyber security bill fell apart in Congress last year after business and privacy groups opposed it fearing government overreach and Internet eavesdropping.
In an illustration perhaps of just how vulnerable our systems could be to a cyber attack, hackers claiming to be from the group Anonymous hacked in to the US Department of Justice website over the weekend, shut it down and claim to have stolen damaging information that they will release to the public.

When I read that we should bring deodorant with us to South Korea, I didn't take it too seriously. I figured that somewhere, somehow, we would be able to find deodorant, even if it were expensive. Well, boys and girls, believe what you read, because Koreans DON'T SWEAT! And it is true that you will not find deodorant here at all! How do they manage to not get all funky on hot days with applying anything on their underarms? Nobody can answer this question.
Yesterday (Wednesday) was the last day with the group of kids we got on Monday. Remember, normally we have one-day programs and week-long programs, making the programs this week "Special." It was an easy day since we only had them for about an hour and a quarter in the morning, took them to lunch, and then they left. We had meetings for the rest of the day in which we discussed the program for Thursday-Friday. We'll be getting first-graders who I'm sure will be a nice break from the middle schoolers. Either next week or the week after is "military week," when the Korean military comes to GEV to practice and improve their English. As you can see, every week will be different here and we'll get a chance to work with all different age groups. I doubt we will ever get bored around here!
In the meetings, we newbies learned our Content Areas (there's science, media, drama + music, and cooking). I was assigned to cooking, which I am quite excited about since it's always the kids' (and the teachers') favorite due to its hands-on nature, easy planning, and often hilarious results. I had observed a couple of cooking classes on Tuesday and requested to join their team – though to be fair, I did make it clear that I was flexible and would be fine in any Content Area. I was grateful that they considered my request!…until I met the rest of my team….
I will not go into specifics regarding my team members, especially since 2 of them are leaving within the next few weeks and we will be getting new members anyway. Let's just say that I'm accustomed to working with people whose work ethic is on a slightly higher level. (Those of you who know me really well, know that one of my biggest turn-offs is unprofessionalism in the workplace.) My CAL (Content Area Leader), on the other hand, is awesome! His name is Ben and he's very laid back and casual, yet is a good leader because he knows how to delegate work and we therefore get a lot done.
The next meeting was just for new teachers; we discussed anything and everything about GEV, Paju, and South Korea in general. I commend GEV on being so organized and communicating so well with us newbies and all the staff, considering I've heard some horror stories about teaching in Korean public schools and hagwons (after-school institutions where students go to continue studying and to get help with their homework. Yeah, they actually take education seriously over here.) After that meeting, we had our final meeting where all of us teachers were gathered together one more time and we newbies had to present a PowerPoint slide we had created introducing ourselves. We finished early and were out of there by 5:30 (but still had to wait until 5:50 to clock out. There is no such thing as "getting out of work early" in Korea!).
But let me rewind back to lunch time. It was not the greatest experience. First of all, someone had the idea of going on a 20-minute walk just to get paninis (yes, really). I went just because it's where most of the teachers were going. There were about 12 of us, which I discovered was too much for the restaurant to handle in terms of cranking out the paninis. The first table got their first sandwiches (each half of the sandwiches were served one by one) literally 25 minutes before we got our first ones, and the server tried to give them their second sandwiches before serving us ours, but we yelled and she eventually brought them to us instead. Anyway, later as we were paying, I discovered why the paninis took them so long: they were using a small panini press that could only make 2 sandwiches at a time. I felt bad that we made them work so hard.
After work, my amazing colleague Caleb (who has possibly been the most helpful and generous to us newbies out of everyone here so far) took us to the big Emart (like a Super Walmart) to buy some things we couldn't get at the little Emart in Paju (the one I can walk to) or the EVMart (the dinky one in the village that only sells junk food). I was utterly amazed at Korean innovation and efficiency in practicality… let me explain:
- Instead of having escalators to take you up/down to the next floor, they have a moving walkway on an incline or decline on which you take your shopping cart. Do you have to hang on so your shopping cart doesn't roll away, you ask? Nope! Once you're on it, the cart's wheels lock into the floor and it's stuck there until you get off at the other side. It's pure brilliance.
- There is a food eatery on the bottom floor, because most people shop in the evenings after work and are usually hungry because it's dinner time. Make sense? I thought so!
- Since you probably have a cart full of stuff by the time you make your way down to the eatery, they provide an area to park your cart and leave it while you eat. In Korea, nobody will mess with your stuff or take anything out of your cart. Another point for Koreans.
- Instead of waiting in long lines at each individual place to eat and dealing with people crowded around each one, there is one counter where everyone orders. Then, you pick up your food from the restaurant… but in the meantime you can pick out your table and sit, because when your order is up, your number will flash across the screen right above the retaurant. Again, pure brilliance.
- If you don't want a drink, you can get water for free from the water machine.
Oh, and Korean food is delicious. I have LOVED everything I've tried here so far (I realize I've only been here for 4 days, but considering I was worried about not liking the food here, I'm rather pleased!). I ordered dolsot bibimbap, a type of bibimbap. It's basically a bowl of rice, noodles, and vegetables that you mix together and can add hot sauce to make it spicy. It's also served with kimchi (of course), a plate of bean sprouts, and soup. The dolsot bibimbap is served hot (the regular kind isn't) and includes beef. I can't even describe how delicious it was. I would encourage all of you to find your nearest Korean restaurant and go there with lots of money so you can try everything!
Today will be a fun day with the first-graders, and I can't wait to go to work! I've been up since 5:00am (yup, getting better) and I'm still so happy and excited to be here!
This weekend, we newbies are going to head into Seoul and I can't wait!

Release Date: June 10th, 1994
Running Time: 1 hour and 55 minutes
Written by: Graham Yost
Directed by: Jan De Bont
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Daniels
By: Michael "MovieBuff801" Dennos
In his 1994 review of the film, Roger Ebert placed Speed, directed by Jan De Bont, under the category of "Bruised Forearm Movies," i.e. movies where "you're always grabbing the arm of the person sitting next to you." Well, I'd like to take this opportunity to coin a similar term for describing action movies which offer endless thrills, and it's a term which derives from my personal home viewing experience: "Chair Rocking Movies." You see, whenever I watch a movie at home, 99% of the time, I'm sitting in a comfortably-cushioned recliner/rocking chair seated slightly to the side of a widescreen television. And for some of the really exciting movies, the ones that get me fully involved in their happenings, I start to absentmindedly rock back and forth in the chair out of excitement; Speed is such a film, despite the fact that by this point, I've seen it a good many times.
Speaking of terminology, "non-stop thrill ride" gets thrown around a lot these days, especially in those thirty-second TV spots promoting the newest action movie of the week, to the point where such a term has become trivial. But if ever there was a movie that phrase was made for, it's Speed, a movie comparable to the sensation of a rollercoaster ride, driven by thrills and excitement more than anything else. The craft on display is so good, the fact that the film puts more emphasis on action than characters or story is in this case unimportant, because through the action, the story develops and the characters are still given opportunities to be compelling.
Keanu Reeves stars as Jack Traven, an LAPD SWAT officer who's part of a team called in at the film's beginning to handle a hostage situation involving a suspended elevator in a high-rise building and the mad bomber (Dennis Hopper) demanding $3 million, or he'll send the people trapped in said elevator plummeting to their demise. Jack and his partner Harry (Jeff Daniels) are the ones placed in charge of securing the freedom of the hostages before the bomber can kill them. They do just that, and the bomber seemingly takes his own life in the aftermath. And that's only the first twenty-three minutes of the movie. Not long after that, Jack receives a surprise call: the bomber is still alive, and he reveals that he's placed a bomb on a public transit bus. Once the bus goes over 50 mph, the bomb is armed. If the bus drops below 50 mph, it explodes. Jack frantically tracks down the bus and gets on it in action hero fashion. But almost immediately after that, the driver is shot by an unruly passenger, leaving Annie (Sandra Bullock), an LA native who's had her driver's license revoked for speeding, to keep the bus going amidst many other complications soon to befall Jack and the passengers.
Speed is a most-apt title for this film, because once the plot kicks into high gear, it rarely, if ever, takes a moment to catch its breath — or to let us catch ours. It's a pure example of an entertainment value movie done absolutely right, sporting sensational action scenes a plenty while throwing in bursts of good humor and character interactions to make sure things don't get stale. It's also a reminder of just how good 80's/90's-era action films could be, and now twenty years after it was first released, Speed still manages to outdo a pretty vast majority of the action films these days which aim to scoot by on entertainment value alone and yet don't.
Because even when it appears easy to pull off a movie such as this, there are still certain "tricks of the trade" that have to be well-incorporated, and screenwriter Graham Yost clearly understands this. He finds clever, natural ways to complicate matters so that there's always a mini-crisis of some kind for the characters to deal with, as opposed to having them just stand around on the bus, beside the bus or in front of television screens with worried looks on their faces. For instance, Jack doesn't just stand by Annie and coax her and the other passengers through the situation. No, he's constantly trying to find ways of disarming the bomb or determining how to deal with, say, gaps in the highway. Yost also ensures that while the situation and structure of the film may limit the opportunities for proper character development somewhat, the characters still have enough personality to them so that we do end up caring about whether they make it out safe or not.
Keanu Reeves plays Jack mostly as the straight-arrow of the movie, but still indulges in the kind of sly humor that sometimes unexpectedly comes out of these situations. As an action hero, Reeves proves here that he's got what it takes if given the right material. Sandra Bullock effectively complements him, bringing her own sharp comedic timing (which was sorely missing from The Heat) and reminding us that Gravity wasn't the first time she's been able to hold her own in a harrowing life-and-death circumstance. The two of them also have good chemistry together. Jeff Daniels provides a bit of welcome levity while Joe Morton is convincing as the Captain who's on the road, doing everything he can to help Jack every step of the way. But the true highlight of this cast is Dennis Hopper as the villain. This is the kind of scenery-chewing 90's villain acting that's just a joy to watch, and Hopper himself is clearly enjoying every second of it as much as we are. He can often be threatening and darkly funny in the same scene, and Hopper makes sure to stay a constant presence throughout.
Before this film, director Jan De Bont worked as a cinematographer, with one of those films being Die Hard, and with Speed he shows he knows what he's doing. He brings such an immediacy and energy to the film, as if he's taking the title to heart, which proves beneficial. The action scenes certainly owe a lot to De Bont's direction.
There's really not much more to say, except if you're one of the handful of people who hasn't seen Speed yet because you've been living under a rock, what the hell are you waiting for?

4 year will not self entertain
My four year old will not play with toys. He does not color, he doesn't do anything on his own. He loves watching movies, playing learning games on the computer. He does like to go outside, if I'm with him, and dig in the dirt.
He LOVES being right next to me and following me around. I try to use this to my advantage. I will have him help me clean etc.
How can I get him to be more independent? How can I get him to "like" toys? I will pretend play with him. I'll show him how a toy or game works. But he won't continue playing with it unless I play with him. HELP!

By the way, I have tried taking him to the toy store. He doesn't want anything. We will spend an hour walking up and down the else. He won't pick anything out???
mine is the SAME way, but he is an only child, and i think thats part of it? he is just always used to being around one of us.
how many kids do you have?
how many kids do you have?
I have a younger son, he is 18 months. He is learning that he can play with him. But most the time he is torturing him ;)
I can relate to your situation 3rdtime...I,too, have a son (who is now 5 years-old) who had huge attachment issues to both my husband & myself. He was absolutely spoiled, because he was our first. Shoot, we spoon-fed him up through the age of 2 because we didn't want to deal with the messes with food that he could create! So, we have learned that in some ways, because of the way we were always coddling him & doing everything for him....he never learned to do things on his own in those precious years. His younger sister, on the other hand, is used to doing things on her own, because we were so busy keeping up the "little monster" we created. I felt that I was doing more damage than good by spoiling him with my attention 24/7, which made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to get things done without him tagging along....so my husband & I agreed to try out daycare/preschool. We felt that by exposing him to an environment which would kind of "force" him to socialize with others....while learning & growing (ofcourse)...would be better for him & for our sanity! He began going to daycare/preschool at the age of 2 1/2. It's taken him quite a while to open up & socialize with other kids, other than his sister, who began going at the age of 2 as well. Over the years, we've seen him grow & change in certain ways. He had a HUGE problem with separation anxiety...whenever I dropped him off, he would grab onto my legs & cry. At first, I thought there might be some issues with the teachers themselves, because of how emotional he got. But, it never was them...it was him. He had a tough time with transitioning & playing with others. He would rather play by himself. After being in daycare for 2 1/2 years now, he's opening up big time & seems to do well with other kids. But, I still notice that he would rather play by himself a lot of the time. We realized, after talking to his teachers & watching him grow & change over the years that....while sending him to daycare/preschool opened him up in so many ways....his personality isn't like most other kids...including his sister. He is more introverted than her. There's things that he doesn't like that most other kids enjoy. It's something that I think is more difficult for the parents to understand & comprehend than for the kids to. Because we just want our kids to fit in & not be considered "different" in any way....for their sake. It's taking me & my husband some time to come to this reality. My advice, having gone through a similar situation as you & still going through it, is to cultivate that personality of his. I know how overwhelming it can be having him practically velcroed next to you all day long. If it gets to be too much for you, try to put him in daycare/preschool 2 or 3 days a week (if you can afford it). This will give him the opportunity to socialize with other kids, see what other kids are doing & maybe change his ways. If he doesn't, we will know that it is just his personality & while we, as adults, don't like to do certain things....some kids don't either. We will have to learn to accept it. The light at the end of the tunnel is, that he will grow out of it to some degree as he gets older. He may become a loner, but he will probably break away from your "skirt-hems" at some time. And all of those things are okay.
I hope this helps, or at least lets you know that you aren't alone in this. All my best!
I hope this helps, or at least lets you know that you aren't alone in this. All my best!
By the way, another main reason we enrolled him in daycare/preschool, other than because I was losing my sanity from having him right by my side constantly....was because I deal with social anxiety myself. I didn't want him to feed off of my anxiety & create that for himself. He needed to learn, on his own, what he enjoys & what he doesn't enjoy. I didn't want to carve that path for him because of my behaviors.
school helped us big time! he was beyond ready for it...i just didn't want to take him. everything is so much smoother, now...and our time together is MUCH more positive.
i think his constant need to be with me was creating serious anxiety for me, and like camnmaksmom said, i didn't want him to feed off that...and he was starting to.
now at school, he has structure, friends, teachers, and constant activity. he needed that.
all the best to you!

All the best to you too, beephobia! I know what you mean about not being ready to "let go" & take your child to daycare/preschool. It was extremely tough for me too. Once I saw my son's accomplishments at school & saw his big smile on his face while playing with the other kids....I just told myself to "knock it off...because he's fine!" It took a while & at the same time, for a while there I considered keeping him at home, but in my heart, I strongly felt that I was doing the right thing. My kids didn't need to experience my anxiety issues with me during the day. They were much better off, learning & having fun with other kids....with no cares in the world! Kids are very resilient & can adapt to change much easier than we can. It's usually my own fears that hold my kids back from doing things & I need to learn to just EXTEND the invisible "leash" I have around them....a little...so that they can explore things on their own & make up their own minds about the world.
I haven't heard back from 3rdtime, I hope you are doing okay. I wish you all the best!!
I haven't heard back from 3rdtime, I hope you are doing okay. I wish you all the best!!
try going to some community playgroups. my 5 year old loves them. it's a change of scenery and he'll get a chance to play with other kids his age.

Oh, feels really wrong to remove the push/pull arms... but I agree why is it on only two of the links (the answer is probably that they could not find an easy way to add push pull to the last one).Lowandslows method sounds too easy to be true - but I will try it out before cutting the poor thing

I know many of you will disagree with this solution but I don't believe the pushpull is worth the aggrivation. Besides, all the carbon frame versions are direct... no pushpull. This is actually better for your servos as it mildly cushions the servo with slop. By the way there is almost no slop in my setup here.Get a pair of dikes and lop off the top half of both arms. Saves Weight! Less Friction, Problem Solved!

I must have got lucky as I used the default canopy post location and I get zero rubbing. I am however using Futaba S3110's and they're little buggers. The stock Futaba arms stink, but I used some arms from a GP Flatout foamie I have, trimmed them down and redrilled for the ball links and they work great.LOL about the tunnel vision remark, so true...

Hootowl! Yes it looks like a good idea but in time you will be replacing your servo cases and or servos. The pushpull design keeps equal pressure on the output spline shaft. If you notice, when you put pressure on the swash it will actually move the sevos in the mounts. I think you will find yourself going back to the stock setup. The reason the SE has no push pull is because the servos are mounted directly under the swash (ECCPM)

So the servos will hold up fine on the SE but not any other non-pushpull application? I don't agree with that. The setup I have now it takes very little effort to move the linkage with the servo disconnected and the eccpm shared servo advantage is still there.What these servos can't handle is strong resistance as in canopy interference or a crash. The metal gears should help out immensly and I no longer have interference. Problem solved.

from CE's site:
Full Push-Pull control system with thicker rods eliminates play as well as shear forces to the servo. The Push-Pull system transfers the torque of the servo directly to the levers. This eliminates the shearing force that wears out the servo bearings when they take lateral forces. Thicker rods prevent the rods from bending under compression.

Yes I know push pull is easier on servos.Again, the SE uses no push pull. They call it Superior

I honestly don't mean to insult your intelligence here or anything of that nature but the SE servos are NOT mounted in the same way as the CDE version. You keep refering to the SE which has nothing to do with push pull. Anyways, good luck with that setup and happy flying

Jay,Insult my intel you won't do. I don't mind being wrong but please explain why you believe the SE mounting is easier on the servo than my setup, from a side bearing load perspective. In fact many have stated having some linkage between the servo and the swash helps protect the servo. In any case Align was not consistant with the CDE design in that the elevator linkage is not push pull in stock form. In the end I guess I'll find out. There are others running this way with success.

Although I've owned many planes both nito and electric, this is only my 2nd heli and I'm VERY frustrated with the design of the stock Trex XL. Heating up the canopy to MAKE it fit is really poor. I personally would not recommend a Trex to anybody at this point.I sure hope they come out with a fix soon!

Bkahuna,I would have to agree about the poor quality. They purposefully make it very good looking with the blue anodizing bling... all the carbon and mods but in stock form whatever model you get it's a poor example of fine machinework and construction. On the other hand if you do the right things this birdie flys quite well and is cheap to fix. I would not go as far as not recommending it as it can be made into a nice heli.

Ok, Here is what I found out...If you have the CDE version and you are using HS-56 servos your going to have issues with the canopy. Options are...
1) Buy HS-65 servos. Thery are lower profile servos.
2) Strech or cut the canopy. I guess I'll modify the canopy as I don't want to spend another $75 in servos.

or you can buy GWS Naro Fast High Power servos for $15.75/ea, are also low profile and are faster and put out nearly as much torque as the hs56 servos.

Is GWS any good? I started helis with a GWS 22D dragonfly and wasn't impressed. They sell a lot of their stuff to newcomers. They barely can take off with their own weight.But Dan, for cheap, if they work and hold up reasonably well I guess you can't go wrong. Heck these higher dollar JR's aren't that great.

i'm anal, i'm a research freak, and there are so many servos out there. if you have a bad servo, you'll prolly tell 10 people about it, if you don't have any bad servos, you prolly won't say anything about them.since the internet only represents a small percentage of rc users, and a few bad ones get voiced on here, i'm just gonna take the plunge based on the numbers and some positive reads on the GWS Naro Fast High Power servos and just get them. if they crap out, i'll live and learn, if not, then i'll just be flying

i've never built a balsa model, but geezz, gotta use finesse to the extreme with these models...if the model's were built to higher quality, majority of people wouldn't be able to afford them from the get-go. if you give up because you can't get your canopy to fit, you try another model and you'll surely find other problems that you'll make into excuses to just quit. if you want something that is done, fitted and flyable, buy a Trex or micro heli that is already setup by someone else.

Voting for change in the Kansas Senate
It's often said that a legislator's most important vote is the first one – the vote cast for leadership in the chamber in which the legislator was elected.
It's so important because leadership sets and controls the agenda, picks committee chairs and committee assignments. Leadership has the bully pulpit when it comes to the press and opinion leaders across that state.
Because leadership is so important, that's why it was disappointing the Senate decided to maintain the status quo by reelecting Steve Morris as Senate President, and John Vratil as Vice President when there were much better alternatives.
It should be noted that Majority Leader Derrick Schmidt was not challenged and was elected by acclamation, receiving support from the entire caucus.
A vote for the current team is essentially saying that everything is A-OK in Kansas. That the past four years, when a billion-dollar budget deficit was created, were just hunky-dory.
Yes, part of the vote was a simple reflection on the conservative-moderate split in the Kansas Republican Party. But does this split excuse a vote for a billion-dollar deficit?
Does being a moderate Republican mean that you condone such large budget deficits?
Though the vote is secret, it is fairly clear who voted for them. If anyone has contradictory information, please let us know.
Votes for the current team and for a billion dollar deficit:
Pat Apple, Jim Barnett, Pete Brungardt, Jay Emler, Julia Lynn, Carolyn McGinn, Bob Marshall, Steve Morris, Tim Owens, Roger Reitz, Derek Schmidt, Vicki Schmidt, Jean Schodorf, Mark Taddiken, Ruth Teichman, Dwayne Umbarger, John Vratil, David Wysong
Votes for change:
Steve Abrams, Karin Brownlee, Terry Bruce, Jeff Colyer, Mary Pilcher-Cook, Les Donovan, Tim Huelskamp, Dick Kelsey, Ty Masterson, Ralph Ostmeyer, Mike Petersen, Dennis Pyle, Susan Wagle

Hey, I'm Katherine!
New York, New York
Setting up a corporate catering business won't be too difficult as long as you know what to do and how to please your clients. There are different corporate functions where the service of a catering crew is needed. Workshops, seminars, training, and product launches are but a few examples of company events where participants need to be served with food. Such events could take place in board rooms, hotel banquet rooms; conference center and other function rooms. Knowing the type of event, venue, and attendees will help you in planning the most fitting menu and presentation.
Creating a website where you can post menus for corporate catering is a great way to reach out to clients. It will give them the opportunity to personally choose the food they want to be included in the menu you will be preparing, and it's also a great way for them to estimate the cost. These days, there are restaurant catering systems that you can invest in. Such a system will allow you to accept catering orders coursed through the Internet, as well as run operations remotely. Additionally, you can use the software to promote your cater business.
Overall, the system will allow you to handle catering management breezily. As the caterer, it's important that you know what time the event will start, because that will give you ample time to set up the food and table. You also need to know how long the event will last, since that would give you an idea whether or not you should divide your menu per meal time.
In corporate catering, the most basic items in your menu should include hot and cold meals, salads, beverages, and desserts which are often laid out on a lavish buffet-style spread. However, there may be times when important clients and other distinguished people will be part of the attendees.
Normally, this happens when a company is trying to attract new investors. In this case, you need to arrange for a sit-down, full-service meal. That would require the help of waiters and waitresses in serving each table. Cocktails, wine, and finger foods are often served during such formal meals.
Don't worry about supplies running low because the catering software allows you to track/monitor inventory so you can re-order supplies ahead of time. Basically, the software makes every aspect of your catering business flow smoothly. That could mean more business opportunities for you, something that the corporate world is never short of since there are numerous events happening in and around it.
You will be successful in your corporate catering endeavors if you know how to make your clients happy. Great-tasting food, an eye-catching presentation, a pleasing staff, and top-notch service are what you should provide your clients to keep them coming back to you. An impressive portfolio will attract future clients, so make sure you post in your website photos of your past catering engagements, as well as testimonies from past clients.
Moreover, streamlining your catering business and keeping it in tune with advancements in technology would mean bigger profits and more clientele for you.

Don't mind their length – there's a weird bulkhead above the window which means that even though the curtains are hung high, there's just not much space between the ceiling and the floor right there. I should probably shorten them, but I'm loathe to do something irreversible to these gorgeous curtains. (Wasn't there a time that extra long curtains indicated wealth? As in, "I have so much money I can afford to buy enough fabric that it puddles on the floor.")
Here's another little detail in the room that I love:
I picked these up on my travels. They are tiny, maybe 5″ x 5″? But they're adorable & they definitely match with the color scheme in here. I think at some point I want to mount them on larger frames to make them more substantial, but for now they work in the narrow space next to the light switch.
Here's a refresher of our floor plan. The guest room is the smaller of the two bedrooms. Oh and our actual floor plan is the reverse of the one below, but this gives you a general idea of what we're dealing with.
The bed is currently on the wall that's shared with the living room & our window is off-center (and in the corner closest to the balcony/patio).
Next to do in here:
- Rehang art to work with new room layout (above bed and on window wall).
- Repaint or replace chest of drawers on other side of the bed.
- Get king size pillows for the bed.
- Find a (fun and inexpensive) rug for the room.
- Find a piece of art for over the desk.
- Find a desk chair.
- Get picture frames to frame already owned pictures & hang on door wall.
I'm sure I'll think of plenty more things to do and change in here, but that's a pretty good list for now. What type of rug do you think will work in here? Any suggestions for a stylish desk chair? What about ideas for inexpensive 11×14 frames? (Ikea is SOOO far away from us).
What should I hang over the desk? I'm thinking a white magnetic surface of some kind, so I can change out what's there frequently.

The h-index was developed in 2005 to qualify the impact and quantity of individual scientist's research output. The h-index serves as an alternative to more traditional journal impact factor metrics.
The measure is simple: a scientist with an h-index of, say, 20 has published 20 articles that have each attracted at least 20 citations. This means that the rest of the author's papers have less than 20 citations. The index works properly only for comparing researchers working in the same field as citation conventions differ widely among different fields.
The h-index can be manually determined using an Internet database such as Google Scholar. Google Scholar Citations and licensed resources such as Scopus and the Web of Science provide automated calculators. Note that each database is likely to produce a different h for the same scholar, because of the different coverage in each database.
Citation databases tell us how often a published work has been cited within that database's journals.
Major citation databases are listed below.
Receive alerts when authors or documents of interest receive new citations. Set up a personal profile in your favourite database and explore the options for citation alerting.

I guess I just don't understand how that helps Tibet.
April 7, 2008 4:35 pm
I guess it's because there have been calls for the US and other countries to boycott the Olympics (hosted in Beijing this year), or at least not participate in the opening ceremonies, and so some protesters who understand (correctly) that that's never going to happen have decided to take matters into their own hands.
But I don't see how this helps Tibet either.
(I don't see why Tibet should be helped. It's a semi-autonomous region like any other, except that its local authorities are more repressive than most — should we make the Chinese leave so that the Tibetan authorities can repress their own people better? But what do I know, anyway.)
April 7, 2008 8:57 pm
You can't ask a Chinese person about China, they're totally biased!!!
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but last year it was trendy for New Yorkers to hire Tibetan nannies:
The largest museum of Tibetan artifacts is also in NYC — it's basically this guy's private collection, put out on public display. Perhaps because the political situation is once again revving up (a few weeks ago there were major protests by Tibetan monks against Chinese rule), Tibetan Cool, which has been a factor in US and European cultural spheres basically since some important sutras were translated into French, then English by societies formed expressly for that purpose in the 1800s, is reaching (or has reached) a kind of local maximum. I'm sure there are legitimate political grievances involved here, but I honestly feel that THIS (and good old-fashioned anti-sentiment) is what's driving the bulk of the protesters. Otherwise, where are the protests for the rights of the Abkhazians? Setting aside the fact that Tibet is much larger, and that this year's Olympics are being held in Beijing, and not in Tbilisi.

Should have been "good old-fashioned anti-China sentiment".

The christmas time brought me home and allowed me to fit in another game versus SH and his Saurian Ancients on 21.12.2015. As my car was already packed, I designed my army for easy transportability, which means a lot of infantry and my old altar which is ulgy, but also indestructible. We played 2400 points with the 0.10.1 rules and 8th edition terrain setup rules on SH's table. His table is a little bit longer and features deployment zones of roughly 15,5 inches.
The Bleak Legion
- Cult High Priest, Cult of Yema, Altar of Yema, Ring of Shadows, Hardened Shield, Lash of Yema, Yema General
- Exalted Oracle, Path of Black Magic, Level 4, Dispel Scroll, Obsidian Nullstone
- Assassin, Nightshade
- Captain, Battle Standard Bearer, Fleet Commander, Headman's Axe, Crimson Mail
- 10x Corsairs, Additional Hand Weapons
- 10x Corsairs, Additional Hand Weapons
- 25x Dread Legionnaires, Full Command, Banner of the Relentless Company
- 11x Repeater Auxiliaries, Musician
- 20x Dancers of Yema, Full Command, Banner of Speed
- 5x Dread Knights, Champion
- 6x Raven Cloaks, Great Weapons
- 8x Dark Acolytes, Champion
This time I went all out infantry. I thought to advance in strenght, have the Corsairs guard my near flanks and get some Skinks into charging range. The Repeaters would follow and shoot some stuff or act as an emergency bunker for the Exalted Oracle. The Knights and Dark Acolytes were the swift hammer to get anything that is not a main combat block.
Saurian Ancients
- Cuatl Lord, Telepathic Control, Higher State of Mind, Wandering Path, Obsidian Rock, Book of Arcane Power
- Saurian Warlord, Glittering Cuirass, Starfall Shard, Shield
- Skink Priest, Lore of Heavens, Level 2, Alpha Pteradon, Black Cube
- Skink Captain, Light Armour, Shield, Serpent Bow
- Saurian Veteran, Battle Standard Bearer, Armour of Destiny, Shield
- 12x Skink Hunters, Blowpipes
- 12x Skink Hunters, Blowpipes
- 12x Skink Hunters, Blowpipes
- 23x Saurian Warriors, Spears, Serpent Warriors, Full Command, Banner of Speed
- 5x Skink Sky-Riders, Pteradon, Shields
- 5x Skink Sky-Riders, Pteradon, Shields
- Salamander, Spout Venom
- Stygiosaur, Poisonous Breath
This time, SH fielded Saurian Warriors, to my surprise. Luckily he didn't bring his shooting heavy dinosaur list from last time. He was gambling a little bit, since he didn't include a dispel scroll this time.
Terrain, Magic and Army Setup
This time I had a clear plan for terrain. With my army being the attacker and having close to none shooting, my plan was to make the battlefield as narrow as possible. I deployed impassable terrain from the lower to the upper side and took the narrow corridor with a complete army drop to get first turn.
SH reacted by playing avoidance nonetheless. His Pteradons would be able to fly over the impassable terrain and the Skinks and Cuatl Lord would be able to use the narrow gap on the lower end to move into my initial deployment zone.
However I had one ace, my Raven Cloaks deployed near the river to prevent any aggressive vanguard movement of the Pteradons.
The Saurian spells were Lightning Storm and Blizzard for the Skink. The Cuatl Lord's spells were pre-assigned anyway, by virtue of his discipline. My Exalted Oracle got Moraec's Fury, Freezing Gale, Crippling Agony and Bolt of Darkness. The combination of two damage and two non-damage spells has been very efficient in the past games and I had one double to make it happen.
Turn 1 – Dread Elves
Movement: My attack line consisting of Dread Knights, Dark Acolytes, Legionnaires and Dancers moves forward in the fastest way possible. Both casters made it into 18" range of Pteradons and the Salamander. The Auxiliaries were blocked by the lake. The Raven Cloaks retreated to disallow a flyover maneuver and the Corsairs moved sidewards to protect my flank from Pteradon attacks.
Magic: 6+5, both channel. In the first magic phase a critically high magic flow was exactly what I needed versus a no-dispel-scroll magic defense. Large Freezing Gale (6+3+1) on the Pteradons went through and dealt two wounds. The Lore Attribute dealt one wound to the Salamander. The Dark Acolytes cast Bolt of Darkness on the Salamander (6+4+4+3), which is also uncontested. The Salamander dies and the Lore Attribute fails to do a wound. With four remaining dice I refuse to cast another spell versus his six and +5 defense, not wanting another miscast ridden magic phase like last game.
The Pteradons are panicked by the Salamanders death and flee. As the Skinks are behind them, they are jumping over and from the table. The Skinks hold their panic test.
Shooting: Some, but basically none.
Turn 1 – Saurian Ancients
Movement: The reamining Pteradons cross the impassable terrain, but stay behind for a while, not wanting to risk a charge. The Skinks and the Cuatl Lord make their way towards the narrow gap between terrain and battlefield edge. The Saurian Warriors retreat 2" and the Stygiosaur and the Skinks with hero advance into 18" range for spells and Serpent Bow.
Magic: 6+1, Dread Elves channel. Lightning Storm (5+2+3+1+1) is dispelled (5+4+3+3+3). Light Spell with one die, is dispelled with two. The Fireball with one die succeeds and kills all but one of the Raven Cloaks. The remaining one does not panic.
Shooting: Serpent Bow doesn't hit on five.
Turn 2 – Dread Elves
Movement: The main battle line advances as fast as they can. Meanwhile I take care, that no units could hide on the right flank of my altar unit. For my Dread Auxiliaries I clearly didn't have a good plan and should have avoided the small lake altogether. The Corsairs moved to protect the flank and provide good attack zones to deny a fast approach of the Pteradons. The remaining Raven Cloak moved into the forest.
Magic: 3+1, Saurians channel. After some deliberation I decide on a 2/1 split and try the Bolt of Darkness (6+1) which is dispelled (6+3+2). The one die Freezing Gale (4) is also dispelled (4).
Shooting: Basically none.
Turn 2 – Saurian Ancients
Movement: While the main force retreats from my battle line and positions the skinks half before the Saurians, the Skinks and Cuatl Lord continue to move towards the gap. The Pteradons make a risky move and get close enough to the Corsairs to shoot with all ranks.
Magic: 3+2, both channel. The Cuatl Lord tries a medium Fireball (3+1) which fails. The following Lightning Storm on my Corsairs (5+5+5+2) is dispelled with a Dispel Scroll.
- The Serpent Bow fails to hit again
- Pteradons on Corsairs do one wound
Turn 3 – Dread Elves
Movement: Once again, I cannot quite make it into combat with my main force, as Skinks and Stygiosaur keep moving away with 12", so everything kept on moving forward with nearly full speed. Nearly because I didn't want to get charged too easily by the Saurians. But the Corsairs of course try a charge. Stand & Shoot brought no results and the Corsairs get in.
Magic: 5+5, no channels. Another really good Magic Phase for me. Unfortunately I didn't really plan ahead what I wanted to achieve. Freezing Gale (4+3+2) on Skink Hunters kills five or six Skinks. The Lore Attribute kills one more Saurus. Bolt of Darkness (5+2+2) on the same Skinks is then dispelled (4+3+3). Now I couldn't target the Skink Hero with my next missile. So I cast Crippling Agony (6+1+1) on the Saurian Warriors, which wasn't dispelled (2+1). The Lore Attribute kills another Skink. The Skinks hold their panic test.
Shooting: Basically none.
Close Combat: The Corsairs have 14 attacks and manage to do very impressive nine wounds (average would have been seven). The Pteradons suffer six wounds, returning three to the Corsairs. The Pteradons fail their break test (only double one could have saved them) and flee from the battlefield.
Turn 3 – Saurian Ancients
Movement: Stygiosaur and Skink Hero charge the Dark Acolytes, who hold. The Skinks move into the way of the Dancers, while the rest flees from my forces.
Magic: 5+2, Dread Elves channel. Blizzard on Dark Acolytes (3+1) is not contested (grave mistake on my part), Shadow Miasma (5+2) is dispelled (6+5+2+1), The Beast Within on the Skink Hero is successful, as well as Regeneration on the Stygiosaur.
- Skinks on Dancers don't manage a wound.
- Skinks on Corsaris deal two wounds.
Close Combat: The Skink Hero manages to survive the Dark Acolytes attacks. The Stygiosaur also saves all wounds from the Dark Acolyte attacks. On the other side, the Saurians manage to kill three Dark Acolytes, sending them fleeing, but unable to catch them.
As the Skink Hero and Stygiosaur are now easy prey to my combat units and the Pteradons already gone, my opponent concedes the match at this point.
Units & Balancing
The Corsairs as small units were intended to protect my flanks and kill any Skinks if I manage a charge. For this they are definitely strong enough and AHWs are very important there. However even in this role, where you would expect it, Throwing Weapons are beyond useless. They will never get to throw them, without being Skirmishers.
Dancers plus Altar seemed overwhelmingly strong in the eyes of my opponent. As this combination is not possible anymore in 0.11 other opponents of Dread Elves seem to have seen this the same way. I am still unsure. The altar wouldn't have seen relevant combat for at least another and I already had favourable terrain and the Banner of Speed.
On the Saurian Ancient side, my last comments still apply, but were not present in this game: Cuatl Lord attached to skirmisher without matching base seems silly. Skinks as 12x units does not change their OP status.
Having the Oracle in the Altar unit is really cool as she can be pushed back and also benefit from the Ward Save. This way I could give my most important a massive MR(3) in addition to the Altar Blessings Save.
My opponent once again complained about the Lash and the Headman's Axe. As they were severly nerfed, these issues should also be resolved.
This time the game was decided by a combination of small mistakes on my opponents part and the timely luck of a really good first magic phase and failed panic roll on the pteradons. This caused his chaff to crumble and allow my main force a straight up rush to his Saurian Warriors, the only unit that could not flee. However without this unit (and most SA play without Saurians), my infantry would never have gotten a relevant combat in the game, showing, that Skirmish avoidance still is somewhat too good.

I was listening to the radio in the morning like I often do. KLBJ 590 AM Austin TX, is the station I frequent at night, somewhat because I miss Texas, but mostly because they have an Ipad app for their station, and no one in Montana does that I have discovered yet.
The story being discussed as I woke up was that democrats were giving Obama an ultimatum after hearing that the web sight would not be fixed by the end of November. Fix it in a week, or we vote with republicans and their plan.
Dem leadership aides have predicted that some House Dems will vote for the plan. And CNN's Dana Bash stirred up chatter today when she Tweeted that "lots" of House Dems will vote for it if the White House has not put forth its own fix by the end of the week
I take back all bad things about Obama not being a leader, and having no diplomatic skills. He has successfully alienated himself against his own base. He has brought republican and democrat together in a battle of survival against him. Even president Clinton chimed in against Obama's handling of this situation.
Bill Clinton's widely reported comments today are not making this any easier for Democrats. Clinton said that "the president should honor the commitment" made to people who want to keep their insurance, "even if it takes a change in the law."
I dare say that Clinton is the only reason the democratic party ever retained any semblance of power. He carefully navigated a minefield of republican majority while he was in office, not only curved our deficits but gave us a surplus, and masterfully managed a government shutdown with negotiation and agreements. Nothing that Obama has managed under his term, so it is understandable that democrats are straying away from this man who is more and more showing that he is neither republican nor democrat but some new form of politician altogether. Many have called him a communist, many a Marxist, but I say he is simply a bad leader, over his head, and drunk from power. Little does he realize with this recent loss of his base, and rating numbers that rivaled that of war hungry President Bush, he is all out of power to get anything done.
I say cudos to democrats for seeing the fox in sheeps clothing and admiting a willingness at last to work with republicans.

Chinese City Fact: Guangzhou
February 8, 2011 Leave a comment
Guangzhou, formerly know as Canton, is a metropolis of more than 10 million permanent inhabitants situated on the Pearl River about 75 miles from Hong Kong. It has long been an extremely important transportation and trading hub and has a rich history including it's key role during the Opium Wars in the 1800's. The population speaks an approximate split of 50% Cantonese and 50% Mandarin (and other dialects).

In recent years, a number of high-profile construction projects have been completed including the high-speed rail link connecting Guangzhou to Wuhan (and the rest of China), the Guanzhou IFC (formerly known as the Guangzhou West Tower 432m tall), the Guangzhou Opera House designed by Zaha Hadid. Perhaps most striking of all is the Canton TV Tower completed in September 2010. This now stands as the world's second tallest free standing structure at 610m and for those of you not afraid of heights, has an observation wheel on it's top deck.
