The Rancho Obi-Wan 2014 membership kit pays homage to two artists, one central to the making of the original trilogy, and another whose artwork helped kick off the Star Wars renaissance in 1993.
The kits, upgraded from last year, will be shipping soon. Become a member of Rancho Obi-Wan and we'll let you know when you can start watching your mailbox like you did in the "old days" when there was an Official Star Wars Fan Club kit on its way every year.
This year's patch is based on original art of Obi-Wan Kenobi by comic artist Joe Smith. It was one of the first 12 character cards in Topps' Star Wars Galaxy Series I, which relaunched Topps into the Star Wars world after a long hiatus. Coincidentally, Rancho's Steve Sansweet was consulting editor on the first three Galaxy sets.
A new edition to the kit is an oversized, spot-varnished card that is the first of a planned series honoring John Mollo, who won an Academy Award in 1978 for Best Costume Design on Star Wars. It shows one early version of the design for Obi-Wan's costume.
The kit also contains a welcome letter from Steve. And, as a special thank you, all past members of Rancho Obi-Wan will receive a bronze-colored 2014 Member pin.
Membership helps support the main goals of Ranch Obi-Wan, the repository of the Guinness World Records-certified largest collection of Star Wars memorabilia, to preserve, educate, and provide a nexus for collectors and fans worldwide.
Members get special privileges and offers and can purchase merchandise and Rancho Obi-Wan tour tickets online at the Member Store.

Tips on How to win a custody battle
Custody of children is an important part of divorce proceedings and the most difficult to settle. The decision of custody may have to be done by the judge, if a mutual consent on shared custody is not formed. A good family law attorney with the right expertise and experience can help you win the case in your favor easily. An attorney specializing in family law would expect you to support in a few aspects for succeeding in the custody. Here are some tips:
Prove you are a better parent
If you are after sole custody, you should ensure that you satisfy the following criteria:
• You should help in the physical health of your child by focusing on the routine eating and sleeping habits, activities after school and in general, the child's routine. Judges will favor your case, if they find that you encourage a good and healthy lifestyle for the child
• Emotional wellbeing should also be taken care of. For instance, you should allow the other parent to visit the child. This would be in your favor, as judges would prefer the child to have an ongoing smooth relationship with both parents.
Play an Active role
You should actively participate in the educational activities of your child, even if you have not done this before. This includes interacting with their teachers and having a continuous communication open with them in addition to helping with their homework. Since the evaluation of teachers is an important consideration at court, a family law attorney usually stresses on this matter.
Other than education, you should also take interest in sports and other activities after school. This not only increases your advantage but also helps in overall development of the child socially and health wise. Having pictures taken of the time you spend with your children will help in making your case stronger.
Satisfying legal considerations
The primary objective of the court in a custody battle is to ensure the child concerned has a stable environment. Parents who do not meet the expectations of the court such as not providing the appropriate childcare, inability to have a steady income, failure to provide proper home environment and not allowing the other parent to visit are strong points that will go against your favor. Some of the factors that courts consider in a custody battle include:
• Personality, ability and disposition of the parent towards raising the child
• Relationship with child
• Employment status, mental and physical health of parent
• Motive for demanding custody
• Ability to encourage relationship of the child with extended family and the other parent
The children's preference in being with a particular parent is also taken into account. The impact of moving and the parent's wish regarding relocating is also considered. The quality of the neighborhood where the children will move also influences the decision made by the courts.
Gaining sole custody of your children is a situation that is wrought with various difficulties. Parents involved in the battle are strained emotionally as well as financially due to the separation. The children have to face growing up in a fragmented family. When there is discord in the custody arrangement, the situation can turn nasty easily. It is therefore necessary to get assistance from a reputed and experienced family law attorney specializing in custody cases, if you want to win sole custody.

Hello hello!
Easter just passed and we're tumbling on our way to the end of school and the start of summer.(ha. I wish)
As you can probably tell from the headline this book review is about mystical monsters. Not zombies or ghouls or ghosts or skeletons, but dragons, fairies, ooze toads and Granous(I'll get to those last two in a bit)
These to books are a set by Emily Rodda and Marc McBride:
#1 The Tales of Deltora
#2 Secrets of Deltora
Deltora is a place where dragons are the rulers and 7 gems keep the lands healthy.
- Del Territory – Topaz
- Ralad Territory – Ruby
- Plains – Opal
- Dread Nome – Emerald
- Mere – Lapis Lazuli
- Toran – Amethyst
- Jalis – Diamond
The first book The Land of Dragons(Deltora) is being destroyed by the Shadow Lord and his Greers. Adin, the Dels blacksmith, dreams of a silver belt made by his hand and knows he is the only one who must visit each and every Territory to tell the people about the belt which is made to hold each gem.
Adin goes to every place and collects every gem except one. The Torans's gem, the amethyst. When the battle for Deltora happens and all seems about lost…Will the Torans give their gem for the cause?
This book is AMAZING and is filled with beautiful coloured pictures . It is great for all ages and is perfect for those mystical monster lovers! 🙂
The next book "Secrets of Deltora" is set in the aftermath of the Battle for Deltora.
Written by the view of a journeyer, it is filled with tips and descriptions of monsters such as Ooze Toad and the ferocious Kobb. You go to places like Tora in Toran Territory and Broome in the Plains Territory. Learn how to act and learn the people's superstitions.
Have fun reading these books and enjoy the fabulous artwork.
Au Revoir!

Changed goal in altitude_node to be current height when enabled.
Added PID subscribers to altitude_node
This should make testing at least a little easier, until we come up witha better way. Also, moved joystick_control.launch to where it could beseen globally by ROS.
Added ability to change constants in PID_control
Minor changes in preparation for test flight.
-Added parameter default_goal to altitude_node-Changed joystick button for toggling altitude control to button 11 instead of 1.
Nevermind... didn't need those
Adding some files to arduino so it compiles
These files are generated by rosserial, but they don't need to beregenerated by everyone, and I don't remember now how to generate themanyway.
Moved mikrokopter to quad2
Added blob_image back to opencvdetect
Added joystick_node for the new node_control system
It can also enable/disable altitude_node's thrust messages, and publishits own instead.
Moved mikrokopter package one folder deeper
The packages arduino and altitude_node aren't found inside anotherpackage directory, so this way they're both found and the repo is alittle more organized.
Fixed segfault in opencvdetect
Added cvblobs8.3 to repo so that opencvdetect can compile
Added /altitude_node/enable topic to disable PID
Also, added node_control.cpp and Velocity2D.msg, which should have beencommited before but apparently weren't.
Merge branch 'master' of ssh://roboclub.org/home/svn/quadrotor
Now it seg faults but compiles, please check this out if you can help.
Added altitude_node and node_control
node_control listens to /mikrokopter/thrust, yaw, and velocity, andpublishes control messages using nav_lib. altitude_node publishes to/mikrokopter/thrust using PID_control on barometer values.
Improved the README in mikrokopter/arduino
Changed max thrust in nav_lib and set thrust to 0 in mk_wrapper
Tested joystick_control with the quadrotor, and it works! And it now hasenough thrust to get it off the ground.
Merge branch 'debugging' of ssh://roboclub.org/home/svn/quadrotor into debugging
Changed max thrust in nav_lib
removed bin, build folders from git
Merge branch 'master' into debugging
Conflicts: vision/CMakeLists.txt
Added all temporarily
Changed manifest.xml
Modified CMakeLists.txt
Added files, changed it, still getting a bad executable error.
Edited and so it works, with the exception of now losing all of the CBlobResults includes when linking. I'm going to figure that out next.
Changed rviz target to publish constantly
Added vision test photos from fence at noon.
Changed the names of the files in an array-friendlier way, also so they won't have conflicts with people trying to add theirs seperately. The 13 here were taken in the robotics club.
I added screenshots of the images from inside the robotics club. I am going to rename them now, as I just realized I had forgotten to.
Modified nav_lib to cap input for set_velocity and set_yaw between -1 and 1. Also modified CoordToPID to pass timestamp to PID.
Added a time thing to PID control
Created file CoordToPID. It takes the simulates coordinates from Tom's simulator and plugs them into Priya's pid to come up with mikrokopter controls.
tested pid_control and fixed it. added the test file for future reference
fixed a semicolon
Fixed callback problem using std::bind
Still some TODO's.
Commented code!
Added a way to spoof target position.
It's an rviz interactive marker which can be controlled by the mouse,and which will publish 3d target positions. There are still some TODO'sin src/rviz_interactive_target.cpp.
changed a few things, tested, and now it outputs a sensor_msgs::point so that the control group can use it. We still need to figure out a target HSV value so that we can use that to test.
Wrote pid control stuff...untested.
Fixed params not loading correctly
Fixed problem in joystick.launch
Major changes in mikrokopter for lost connection
-In nav_lib.cpp, added main_loop, so we don't have to keep rewriting it:). Also, this now publishes to /mk_wrapper/control, which should beused from now on. However, old publish_on still works as it did....
Removed build files from repository
Working more.
Wrote mikrokopter/turn_to_target
It subscribes to /v2v3_converter/target_3d, and publishes yawproportional to the angle of the target in the horizontal plane. It mayuse the wrong axes and/or turn the wrong way.

Tell us how erwin helped you transform data management.
I just sat down about an hour ago to play around with erwin a little bit and I must say that it has been really easy. I didn't have to read any Help or tutorials--I knew what I had planned to do and I was right at it the moment I opened the software. I must say it is a really good tool for a data modeling. My evaluation is going great. I am happy with it as a first timer. Now I wouldn't have to panic if I am asked on an interview whether I am familiar with erwin. I would certainly recommend this to any employer of mine as the go-to tool for data modeling.
We're now working with erwin and we've got Sandhill Consultants onsite helping us to do that… They've run a user day where I was able to see some of the features that the latest version of erwin was coming out with. They've helped me with getting consultants onsite in order to train my staff. Without Sandhill, we would still be at the very very early stages with erwin – we wouldn't have been able to offer any of the benefits we've already offered to projects in the organization… I'm looking forward to continuing with erwin with Sandhill's help. I hope to keep the relationship going forward for years to come
We wanted the software, but we also the support that goes with it. Sandhill advised us on how we can best use erwin… I like the fact that they're able to help me to leverage the investment in erwin. They tell me about the things I don't know about erwin that make it more of a success here and I like the fact that they know where erwin's going so they know the long-term future and I think they're able to help me formulate a strategy on how we can build on that together. I'm looking forward to working with Sandhill and erwin to work out how we can best use these products going forward because I'm sure there's lots more good stuff we can do over the next ten, fifteen years.
What I like best about erwin is how it makes much of my job easier and allows me to customize how I do my work. Between the API and the Forward Engineering Templates, I can customize my output to what the other groups within my company are expecting and they don't have to change things to accommodate me.

MILWAUKEE — A hirsute man in Miller Park turned his shirtless back to the TV cameras this weekend. Someone had shaved the word "Mauer" and the number "7" into his back hair.
Maybe it was Joe. He seems to have time on his hands.
That Mauer didn't start at catcher on Sunday wasn't a crime. His manager, Ron Gardenhire, is determined to protect Mauer's legs and back by keeping him from catching in day games following night games. Mauer didn't beg out of the game; Gardenhire never gave him the chance.
Mauer's crime is that he didn't volunteer to play first base for a team desperate for hitting, leaving Gardenhire to play Luke Hughes out of position at first.
Two weeks ago, everyone in the Twins organization knew that Mauer's buddy Justin Morneau was headed to the disabled list. This week, the Twins announced that Morneau would undergo neck surgery that will sideline him until at least August. Meanwhile, the Twins have been fielding a lineup that Bud Selig will use as Exhibit A in his case that baseball players no longer use steroids.
With Delmon Young, Denard Span and Jason Kubel on the disabled list, Michael Cuddyer is needed in the outfield, meaning the Twins are desperate for Mauer to play first base on the days he doesn't catch.
Mauer has not only avoided volunteering to play first base for a team that wants him to do so, he has yet to even practice taking ground balls at first.
It's time for Mauer either to start playing when and where his team needs him, or to start writing refund checks.
The guy had a lousy week. He proved he needs dozens more at-bats to regain his timing. He's hitting .200 in late June.
He got called out by a left-handed middle reliever over his pitch calls, a sure sign that Mauer is less popular in the clubhouse than the IRS. Can you imagine Jose Mijares jabbing Mauer if Mauer's average were .340 and he was playing every day?
Today, Mauer's status in his clubhouse must be even worse than it was when he was slowly mending in Florida.
He spent more than two months rehabilitating his mysterious injuries. He returned to the big leagues 10 days ago. He played in three consecutive games, then the Twins had Monday off.
Mauer caught on Tuesday and Wednesday, then took Thursday off. He caught on Friday and Saturday, and then took Sunday off. The manager can keep him from behind the plate. Only Mauer can keep himself out of the lineup.
He should have played on Sunday. He did not need a second day of rest in a span of four games, a third day of rest in the past seven.
With his team desperate for runs and wins, Mauer has relaxed. That's why some of his teammates have been rolling their eyes this season whenever his name is mentioned.
He has proved to be the softest of stars, and if that wasn't bad enough, his $184 million contract could prevent the Twins from retaining a valuable veteran who plays whenever and wherever the Twins need him.
Mauer makes $23 million a year. Michael Cuddyer is making $10.5 million in the final year of his contract.
While Mauer seems intent on turning his name into a punch line, Cuddyer offers everything you would want from a professional athlete.
While Mauer has balked at playing a position other than catcher, Cuddyer has moved from shortstop to minor league third baseman to outfielder to fill-in at first and second base.
While Mauer is visible mostly on video game commercials, Cuddyer constantly promotes or serves charities and acts as a public spokesman for his team.
While Mauer has yet to start even breaking in a first baseman's mitt, Cuddyer has told Gardenhire he's willing to play anywhere at any time.
Sunday morning, Gardenhire said Cuddyer should finish his career in Minnesota. Meanwhile, Mauer is causing dread over the remainder of his eight-year contract, a deal so immense it could prevent the Twins from affording Cuddyer or any high-profile free agents.

Contrary to the false headlines being splattered throughout the world by the MSM, a group of Israeli soldiers were viciously attacked when they attempted to board a flotilla carrying "aid" to Gaza. The following video, via The Sundries Shack, clearly shows that it was the soldiers who were attacked and not the other way around:
How did the MSM and the crackpots and thugs at the UN get the story so wrong? Simply, they wanted to.
Stacy McCain has background on the "activists" on the flotilla.
Melissa Clouthier-President Obama Abandons Israel (AGAIN)
American Power-Gaza Flotilla Activists Launched Pre-Planned Attack on Israeli Commandos
As we speak, the UN Security Council is meeting to condemn Israel. The UN is a joke. It is comprised of a bunch of thugs and self-dealers who have no moral authority to pass judgement on anyone.

If you conduct a really simple Google search, you will notice the fact that there are literally hundreds of SEO services available at the moment. You do not need to go to school in order to call yourself an SEO professional. In fact, you can make that claim alone. If someone hires you and you are not able to offer a quality service, it is your problem.
The problem is that most of the SEO companies you find on the internet are really bad at what they do. In fact, they just do really small jobs for you and will make money while not doing much. It is a certainty that you do not want to pay someone to do nothing. In many cases the only thing that is guaranteed is that you will lose your money in the process.

I'm turning to the bee, for support I guess….. I don't know what else to do.
My dad (well stepdad since childhood) has made my mom reach the point of separation. But then, who wouldn't after what he pulled?
Quick background story, my dad is very verbally abusive towards my mom.always putting her down, calling her names and just being a flat out asshole. At least this has been going on for the last few months which I found out about yesterday.
He went to Spain last week to visit his kids (well, they are in their 20's so not really kids anymore). He was supposed to be on a plane back today. He treated my mom like a complete ass all week, refusing to talk to her, disappearing for 24hrs at a time, just being shady as all hell. Telling my mom he was packing and heading to the airport yesterday. Well…….he never boarded that plane. He reschedule his flight to next week and led my mom on all week lying pretending he'd be back today only to find out he wasn't. He drained the bank account and then lied and told us there was a strike in Spain and couldn't fly back (i checked online, the flight is enroute, 3 hours shy of landing in Los Angeles). He turned his phone off and haven't heard from him since.
My mother is devastated. I don't know what to do. She left everything behind in Spain for him. I'm the only thing she has here and in 5 months I'll be starting my own family as a married woman. My Fiance is absolutely speechless but then what can the poor guy say or do? She is moving in with us on Sunday till we can figure something out, otherwise she is completely alone.
I am so upset, I don't even know where to start to process the situation. After what my dad has pulled, that is no father of mine. Now I find myself thinking about my wedding and feeling sorry for myself because I will no longer get walked down the aisle, or get a father daughter dance. I also feel bad for feeling bad about myself because I need to focus on my mom and getting her into safety.
*more background story referring to the safety comment above* My dad is crazy. He will obsess, stalk you, go to your work, my mother is terrified he will threaten her, apparently (I found out about this yesterday) his ex wife has a restraining order against him for this exact same reason. This is more than I can handle.
I don't know if I'm looking for advice or a slap on the face and a "snap out of it and figure this out" talk. I'm maybe just venting. I feel bad opening up like this to my Fiance. We just moved into our new home 3 months ago and now he has to face living with his Future Mother-In-Law.
anyway, sorry for the huge vent. I didn't know what else to do.

Cory says he isn't gay but he has fantasized about being fucked by a chick with a strap-on. He says that once when a girl stuck a finger up his ass he knew that it was something he really liked. The finger led to Cory experimenting on his own with a dildo and he found his new favorite solo pastime. Hang on to your hats 'cause this cowboy is about to take you to a rodeo and it's gonna last a lot longer than eight seconds. This guy was born to ride horses and cocks. He takes on a big dildo like a champ and gives us one hell of a hot show with it. He rides it like a true cowboy as he takes the whole thing deep inside him.

Thanks a lot, folks.
My rejection slip tally proves to me that world domination is a very long way off, Eloise!

I just discovered that I hadn't added my congratulations (thought I did already). You're on a roll, doing very well, and deserve your success because you've earned it through hard work.

Hey Rob -well done on nth.position!
The momentum is great when it finally gets going!

Thanks folks. It might seem as if there is a momentum, but there's not really. And I've no idea how to create one or even if one is desirable. I'll sometimes get three submissions to poetry magazines accepted in a row, and then get the next eight rejected. It's always been like that with me.

The Right Way to Wrap a Burrito
Part of the genius of Chipotle's business model is that burrito ingredients are cheap. What you're paying for is the convenience of having burritos on demand, along with the labor that Chipotle's employees put into making your burrito as perfectly cylindrical as possible.
But if you keep tortillas, rice, beans, salsa, vegetables, and other fillings in your fridge, you, too, can make beautifully tubular burritos—and for much less money than you'd spend in a fast-casual Cal-Mex chain. Watch this video to find out how:

Motivation and Self-Regulated Learning: A Multivariate Multilevel Analysis
Volume 4 - Issue 3
Wondimu AhmedPages: 1-11 Download Count : 693 View Count: 793 DOI Number 10.17220/ijpes.2017.03.001
This study investigated the relationship between motivation and self-regulated learning (SRL) in a nationally representative sample of 5245, 15-year-old students in the USA. A multivariate multilevel analysis was conducted to examine the role of three motivational variables (self-efficacy, intrinsic value & instrumental value) in predicting three SRL strategies (memorization, elaboration & control). The results showed that compared to self-efficacy, intrinsic value and instrumental value of math were stronger predictors of memorization, elaboration and control strategies. None of the motivational variables had a stronger effect on one strategy than the other. The findings suggest that the development of self-regulatory skills in math can be greatly enhanced by helping students develop positive value of and realistic expectancy for success in math.

"You should come in," he invited playfully. Then he splashed me and dove under water again. He was like a kid again. Suspecting almost anything from him I post-haste left the water and began to undress. Conducive to the essential time, in a hunger once in a while, I felt like I could just be a teenager again. I ran back into the water and just as I get up to my knees in grade, I felt his hands around my ankles and he pulled me down.

Well it's BAAAAAACCCKKKKK! The Anti-Agenda 21 bill from last session (previously SB1507) now SB1403.
I wrote ad nauseum about this bill last session. You can read my Triple Pundit piece HERE, watch some news footage HERE, and read about the victory of the bill finally dying HERE.
UGH. It's just like a ZOMBIE, and according to Grist, it's hungry for your BRAAAIIIINS!
Please help us kill it- AGAIN- by signing this PETITION (revived from last session, just like the batshit crazy bill.
Also, someone really needs to do a reality show based entirely around the bills (and testimony) by Senator Burges. You really can't make this shit up... Watch for yourself.

Leadership changes and management trends
Before we can manage and lead we must be able to understand and connect. Today's ideal supervisor is one who values communication not just authority, who manages things, not people, one who leads by example and involvement and not just by command and control.
For workers today, the ideal leader gives public affirmation, pats on the back – both figurative and literal, remembers names/interests of their staff, and creates an emotionally safe, friendly, collegial environment where people feel free to contribute ideas.
Gen Y and Z are definitely keen to move into leadership, but they first need effective leadership role models who can engage with them. The ever-present generation gap is very visible when we attempt to lead them in our old method. Traditional leadership stresses controlling, they want relating. We focus on structure, they are influenced by style. We think framework, they think freedom. The answer is to take the time to better understand the younger generations and then we are well on the way to being able to engage, train, and lead them.
This table highlights the changes in leadership styles represented by these leaders across five generations:
Great leaders across the generations
|Winston Churchill
|John F. Kennedy
|Nelson Mandela
|Barack Obama
|Sam Walton
|Lee Iacocca
|Bill Gates
|Mark Zuckerberg
|Adolf Hitler
|Fidel Castro
|Saddam Hussein
|Osama Bin Laden
|Mohandas Gandhi
|Martin Luther King Jnr.
|Mother Teresa
|Walt Disney
|Bob Dylan
|Oprah Winfrey
|Cate Blanchett
|Dietrich Bonhoeffer
|Billy Graham
|Dalai Lama
|Benedict XVI

U.S. stock index futures are pointing to a solidly positive open this morning, but that could be rendered irrelevant by the government's June jobs report, due out at 8:30 a.m. ET. The major averages are on track for a second consecutive weekly gain, pending the outcome of today's session, something that hasn't happened since the weeks of May 11 and May 18.
Consensus forecasts for the employment report call for 160,000 new non-farm jobs for June, compared to 175,000 in May. The unemployment rate is seen edging lower to 7.5 percent from May's 7.6 percent.
There are no earnings reports on the calendar today, though the traditional start to earnings season is just ahead on Monday afternoon when Dow component Alcoa (AA) releases its quarterly numbers.
Some of the pre-employment report enthusiasm from investors comes courtesy of the European Central Bank and Bank of England, both of which left key rates unchanged on Thursday while sending signals of easier monetary policy.
Sprint (S) is among our stocks to watch today, with multiple reports saying the FCC has unanimously cleared Softbank's proposed acquisition of the majority of Sprint shares, as well as the Sprint proposal to buy the portion of Clearwire (CLWR) that it doesn't already own.
Zynga (ZNGA) will give its new chief executive Don Mattrick a pay package worth about $50 million – mostly in stock-related compensation – in the coming years. An SEC filing shows Mattrick will get a base salary of $1 million in his first year, along with a signing bonus of $5 million and a 2013 bonus of $2 million.
Walt Disney (DIS) is seeing a holiday disappointing at the movie box office, with "The Lone Ranger" performing below expectations and raising the possibility that Disney could lose money on the $225 million film.
TransDigm (TDG) declared a special dividend of $22 per share, which will be payable on July 25. TransDigm is a maker of aircraft components and made the move in an effort to boost shareholder returns.
Nokia (NOK) saw its debt rating lowered by Standard & Poor's, after it bought out the share held by Siemens in their networking equipment joint venture. S&P cites negative free operating cash flow prospects, although it did term Nokia's outlook "stable".
