As promised, here comes the detailed review of Flysurfer Speed 3 in size 21!
A few weeks ago Armin asked me if i will have one of the first 21er to post a review, I could not of course say no! After the kite arrived one week to late (because UPS delivered over prag), we couldn't wait anymore to try this new lightwind beast!!
After 2 Days of over 20 Knotes... the third day we arrived at the beach and: around 10 Knotes!!!! PERFECT!!!!
Fipi (Mykite.ch Team Rider and FFCustomes CEO / shaper) and Räffu were with me in the car.
The Test: I was out for about 1 houer on my directional... then i headed in to give it to fipi. I had to eat and shoot some pics...
after that we swiched back again and again..
This review is our opinion... as FS and Armin knows... we allways write waht we think...
We made a rating system:
****** Out of reach!
***** Very good
**** Good
*** Acceptable
** Bad
* Disaster
the test riderss:
Fipi: I weigh 70kg and kite for five years. I have a 12 and 15 Speed 3 and fly regularly the 19.
Phil: i weight about 90 kgs. I ride 90% strapless. Normally on: 12/15/19 SPEED3 and 5-12 Wainman Hawaii
The Review:
Phil: First impression *****
After I put wet sand on the tip(this almost broke my heart) the kite starts as usual ... When i heard from Ernst that a 21 is coming my reation was this: BOAAAA ... but it does not look bigger than the 19 and feels not bigger. So my 6'0''under my arm and straight on the water ... hey! the thing turns !!! and makings nice pressure ... and where is now the backstall?!?!! Let's try the first Straplessair... Hang Time guaranteed! First impression: this is a 19 without Backstall and more grunt! Perfect for my weight.
Fipi: First impression *****
I've just come from the water with the 15 when phil gave me the 21. So back out and what do i notice??? Nothing.
And that's great: no gusts, no ears rattle, not a Zeppelin feel. First jump... and up it goes... like a elevator ... Excellent.
Fipi: Turn ****
It is still a 21. But if i would not have know that this is the 21, i would have thought it's the 19!!! Both turn the same!!! Overhead kite loops, etc. Downloops work properly. No Tiptucking at all... only at the lower windrange when i was working the kite hardly!!!
Phil: Turning *****
I totally agree with fipi!!! When i heard that the kite will turn like a 19 .. i said tomyself: marketing Bla Bla ... as always ... However, it's ture!!!!!! The 21er turns at least as good as the 19er.
Straplessairs with kiteloops for the landings... (I speak here of a loop initiated during the landing) were not a problem. Sure it takes a bit of timing. But it works great!
Fipi: low end ******
Despite the small fish in in 8kts (which is approximately comparable to a 140s), I could still comfortably ride upwind. the basegrunt is way better.. if you have windholes.. the kite keeps pulling. Just send the kite down, pull the bar in and there you go... no backstall... really easy!!!.
Phil: low end ******
KILLER! I AGREE WITH FIPI ! i gave the kite to a beginner (80+ kgs) . Even for him it was no problem at 8 knots in combination with a Doorshape to make high and jump. Absolutely easy for beginners! I think with a race board, the low end is magical! For a foil, we prefer not to talk
Phil: de-power & high end ******
We had some 15 kts for a couple of minutes. At my weight and a 130s board, it was really funny! Had absolutely no problems. The depower is again excellent. I noticed that the kite coveres comfortably a big windrange... at 7 kts you ride it and at 15-20 kts you can ride it... no problemo!!!. I think I have to figure out the high end. But probably it is minimal among the high end of the 19er. It is incredible how the kite eats gusts!
PS: the wind range is huge! just huge!
Fipi: de-power & high end *****
Also in the 15knt I was far away at all touch the trimmer. Overall, the comfort zone is very large, which is fun whether you feel like at BigAir, unhooked or Strapless.
Fipi: Jumping ****
After one year of speed3 experience, I felt comfteble with the 21 immediately . Some Speed and the right timing is the key to massive hangtime!!!! You go up really gentle... and the you stay in the air for ages.. after that i goes down really slowly!!! Overhead loops are no problemand do make a lot of fun, thanks to the light bar pressure you will be able to kite for ages!!!!
Unhooked its like a cablepark!!!. The trimmer does not need to be touched, because there is no BACKSTALL, Pop is as with the other Speed's very good.
Phil: Jumping ****
AGREE!!! just figure out the timing and you will FLYYYYYYY....
Phil: stability *****
we where at a gusty spot... no problemo at all!!! a tube tried to go to the water 3 times... he came back 3 times with a wet kite
Fipi: Stability ****
Also at the very gusty entry in Portalban there were no problems. underjump the kite and he drives slowly back into the wind window.
Fipi: Barfeeling *****
Barforces are really low!!! Perhaps a wee bigger than the 19 on softsteering.
Phil: Barfeeling *****
The Barfeeling in my eyes is TOP! I do not like it when my arms start to hurt after half an hour. With the Speeds that was never the case! Very pleasant barfeeling and you can feel where the kite is.
Phil: Design *
Sorry .. but the design is very boring. Simply White with a cutted FS logo. It is a pity that FS did not do a better job on the design. In addition, the kite won't look white anymore in short time.
Fipi: Design **
The kite comes all in white (who knows the Silver Arrow 2, knows that it wont remain white for a long time), only a cutted FS Logo is sewn in gold.
Fipi & Phil: Conclusion *****
Flys like a 19 with more grunt and no backstall at all!!!. Absolute fun machine in light winds as in the middle and high winds.
With the 21, the number of your waterdays will once again increase significantly! Thanks to Armin and Flysurfer for the new lightwindmonster!!!! ...
For the relaunch, I can not say much. One drop and easy realaunch without Porblemes ...
Here are some pictures of the test:

Just when we finally stopped reeling from her VMAs performance, Miley Cyrus went and released her super-naked "Wrecking Ball" music video, and now we are all collectively staring aghast at our computer screens wondering how on earth the former child star plans to top THAT?! It's also natural to wonder what the heck her fiance Liam Hemsworth has to say about her antics ... and if he's reached his breaking (up?) point yet or is willing to grin and bear it while his fiancee continues to shock/confuse/disturb us all.
Well, HollywoodLife.com's source claims to know the answer ...
The supposed insider revealed, "Liam can't really control what [Miley] does, and this ["Wrecking Ball"] video is another wave into him letting her do what she wants to do, because it's not affecting him or his career, it is all on Miley." They continued, "He is just separating everything and treating it as what it is, and that is entertainment. Let's be honest, she's not killing anyone."
Huh, interesting. If this is true, Liam sounds quite ... evolved, huh? Because it wouldn't be completely crazy to think that her "career" would actually reflect poorly on his. Then again, sometimes you have no choice but to overlook aspects of your partner's job that aren't ideal ...
It's not uncommon to be affected by and need to come to terms with the negative aspects of your partner's career -- even if they aren't twerking for a living like Miley! Ha! It just comes with the territory of being in a long-term, serious relationship. Your partner might work crazy hours or complain about their coworker or have to transfer to a different city, and you have to be supportive. Have their back. Figure it out together.
Who knows, maybe that's what's going on here!? Maybe Miley's being prodded to keep pushing barriers by her team, and Liam has had to make peace with the fact that if he loves her (bless his heart!), then for better or worse, he's along for the ride. If that's the case, maybe they do stand a chance after all!
Do you think that Liam may be cool with Miley's new shtick? What drawbacks of your partner's career have you had to come to terms with?

One of many lakes by this name in Colorado. This one happens to be in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. The ridge line is the Continental Divide
Boulder Origins
This outflow from Jasper Lake in the Indian Peaks Wilderness of Colorado is the source of Jasper Creek which feeds the Middle Fork Fork of Boulder Creek.
Lone Eagle Reflection
One of the most striking peaks in Colorado even though it is not even 13,000 feet tall. Located in the Indian Peaks Wilderness it is a long hike to get here. Mirror Lake is aptly named!

If you will upgrade the video phone V60 to the specific firmware, you can refer to the below steps: 1. Put the firmware to your USB device; 2. Plug the USB device to the video phone; 3. Press two keys at the same time when you power on the V60 IP phone 4. The phone will go to recovery mode, we can press up and down key to choose the second option: update from USB equipment, then click OK key. 5.Choose the firmware file and click OK button: 6.The phone will start […]
Upgrade V60 video phone with USB device
WX IPPBX connects with the FXO gateway
When we connect the WX IPPBX with the FXO gateway in the same network, we can realize the function like this: 1. The IP extension can dial 9+number, the call will go out through the FXO of gateway; 2. When anyone calls in the FXO of gateway, they will hear the welcome message, then can dial the extension. For the setting, you can refer to the guide here: Let us try to set the WX IPPBX firstly. 1. Create one IP trunk for FXO gateway, here we connect the WX IPPBX with FXO gateway by IP to IP. Registrar server: here 10.168.1.190 is the IP address of FXO gateway. Trunk ID: you can input any number, as usual, we input 100. Username: the number is same as Trunk ID. Password: any digits we can input. Concurrent: it means how many calls can go through the ip trunk at the same time. Trunk type: if we choose DID here, we need to go on choosing the extension in the next option DID, it means when we call in the ip trunk, the extension in DID will ring directly. If we choose IVR here, we need to go on choosing the voice file in the next option greeting, it means when we call in the ip trunk, we will hear the welcome message we choose: 2. Create the dialing rule. Here in order to be convenient to control the call, we choose using prefix, and set the prefix as 9, choose the ip trunk we create. It means when any extensions dial 9+any number, the call will go out through the ip trunk 100. Let us try to set the FXO gateway. 1. Set the IP address as the static, because the IP address is in DHCP mode at default. 2.Set the routing table. IP[10.168.1.31:5070] x ROUTE FXO 1-2 It means when the gateway receives any calls from the WX IPPBX, the call will go out through the FXO 1-2. FXO x ROUTE IP 10.168.1.31:5070 It means any incoming calls from any FXO will be transferred to the WX. 3. Set the inbound calls in the gateway. Here we choose Inbound handle as Binding, and number is the IP trunk of WX IPPBX. It means when the FXO receives any incoming calls, which will be transferred to the number 100.
How will the call of PABX work with VOIP gateway
As usual, we can connect the PABX with the VOIP device by the FXS or FXO, and how does the call work? here we will describe the different connections will have the different methods for dialing. Connection A: FXO of PABX connects with FXS of voip gateway. Here it is the outbound call of PABX. When the extension 7001 wants to dial the extension 8001, 7001 needs to dial 9+8001, here we assume 9 is the prefix which is used to call out through the FXO in the PABX, after that, the call will be transferred to voip gateway. Here it is the inbound call of PABX. When the PABX receives the call from 8001 through the FXO, 8001 will hear the second dial tone firstly, then 8001 can go on dialing 7001, so 7001 will ring directly. […]
remote connection of two analog PBX
When two analog PBX or PABX are in two different offices, we hope all the extension of them can call each other for free, and two offices are in the same VPN or two offices are using the static public IP, but how will we connect them? and which device do we need? You can refer […]
Making Screensaver for IP Phone
Here we will modify the picture used for screensaver with the software PCtoLCD. Steps: Step 1: Modify the logo picture for the standby screen of IP Phones. The picture must be monochrome bitmap with the file name *.bmp. The size of logo depends on the IP Phones you choose. Here is the specific introduction: F62: […]
FAX to email in UCM
In the UCM, we can try to transfer the FAX to email when UCM receives the FAX. The related steps are as follows: We need to make sure the UCM can send email to our email. Here we take sina email as sender, in the sina email, we need to enable smtp service. After we […]
Network Influence to the Quality of the VoIP Communication
Sometimes when we communicate on two different networks through voip devices such as IP phones, we may find that our speech probably is intermittent or we hear some acoustic echo. These make us feel a bad communication. That is because the quality of VoIP communication will be influenced by the network environment. We can test […]
Call Park on UCM6104 and IP40
Here we are going to talk about the function of Call-park on IP phone IP40. Call Park can be used in such a situation, we are making a call but for some reasons we have to leave, and we don't want to end it, so Call Park can work. In a word, Call Park means […]
PBX220 Connect with VG3X-2S/2O Gateway by No Registration
We can connect the VG3X-2S/2O gateway and the PBX220 without the registration of the FXS port to make the functions below available: IP extension and the analog extension on FXS port can call each other; IP extension can call out via the FXO port; The analog extension on FXS port can call out via FXO port; […]
XML Remote Phonebook
If you hope the IP phone can get the phonebook remotely, you can refer to the method below: 1. Please create the xml file, and you can refer to the below content to input your own information: 2. Please put the xml file into the update folder of ftp server or http server, and make […]

Musing Mondays #8
What attracts you to a book blog? What puts you off in a book blog? Do you share personal stuff on your book blog?
I love book blogs that have a nice colour scheme and the colours are not too bright or clashing. I also love if a book blog has their own banners for things like 'ramblings' or other such posts. I like when they have their own rating system rather than just a star rating system. Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea uses biscuits as her rating system and I love that! I prefer when there is links and images of the books that the particular blogger is showcasing. Book discussions are also great. I love organized sidebars too.
I hate clutter and blinding colour schemes and backgrounds. I also hate when there is too much of a focus on the person's personal life in posts. I want to see mostly book related things. I think all the different Sunday memes are okay for talking a little about your personal life. I personally don't like talking about my personal life unless I'm letting you guys know why I have been absent or slacking a little in my posts.

I'm attracted to your blog! And it seems we all hate clutter :)ReplyDelete
Here's mine: http://fiktishuhs.blogspot.com/2012/08/musing-monday.html
Interesting answer. I need to go think about what is considered clutter.ReplyDeleteReplies
What I meant by it is crazy unorganized posts with links and images everywhere (not in a row etc). I also hate messy sidebars with every kind of a thing on it and a ton of unnecessary links.Delete
I started a rambling post last week, mostly likely will do it weekly depending on how much is on my mind of course. here's my MusingReplyDelete
I don't have a book-specific blog, but I do talk about books on my blog. Maybe I'll start a book blog.ReplyDelete
I like a clean blog too - and visuals are a must for keeping me interested and reading.ReplyDelete

MTS, the market leader for mechanical test equipment, wanted to increase profitability and reduce delivery time of their project-based operational model. They strived to leverage a range of product offerings within a unified product family and significantly increase the efficiency of operations
- Please Register to Access Even More Content
MTS landmark systems integrate the latest in MTS
Servohydraulic innovation, versatile flextest® controls, proven MTS application software and a complete selection of accessories to provide highly accurate and Repeatable static and dynamic testing across the material testing continuum.
The engagement with Modular Management began with Modular Strategy and Potential Analysis™ (MSAP™). A modularization program was formulated that would accomplish MTS's strategy and provide a business case to support the investment. Complexity costs were evaluated using ValueMap™ quantifying the bottom-line benefits of modularity within MTS's value stream. A program plan addressed the creation, implementation and governance of the various product offerings within consecutive waves.
An optimized Modular Product Architecture was created using Modular Function Deployment® (MFD®), and this architecture was populated with the Module Variants and rules needed to configure the full range of products. Module Finance™ supplied a model that balanced the direct and indirect cost implications of each architecture decision and the tools to analyze the profitability of the modular system. To make the modular architecture actionable, MTS's inbound, outbound and production value streams were newly envisioned using Module Supply Chain Study. Plans were established for each module along with the system requirements to deliver them.
Module Design™ was used to implement standardized interfaces while managing development streams, priorities and module requirements. With these enabling concepts, MTS's approach to documentation was reimagined with process and tools and applied to the existing CAD/PDM systems. A new end-to-end, integrated Configure-to-Order system was also implemented and production was transformed from time-station assembly to a production line. MTS began to manufacture and maintain a product families with dramatically fewer unique part numbers while greatly decreasing lead times and inventory.
Modular Transformation™ established needed changes for a new way of working to ensure the benefits of modularity would be a lasting and profitable foundation for MTS. Processes in and around the value stream were enhanced with decision metrics and tools to sustain the improved business performance. New roles, such as Chief Architect and Module System Product Manager, were created with the mandate to sustain and leverage the architecture.

text: Just got my iPhone 5 today, and while I know there were many threads about yellow tint at one point, this one is kind of different. I don't know if my eyes are fooling me or not, but it appears that the left side of my screen has normal tint, and it progressively gets warmer going toward the right side. The right side looks a tad bit yellow. Has anyone seen this happen? Should I be concerned? I was very excited to get it today, as I previously had the iPhone 4. Wondering if I should return this during the 14 day period I have with AT&T.

One of my all-time favourite scenes from a movie comes from the 2005 re-make of Pride and Prejudice, when Mr. Darcy emerges from the mist on that early morning and stammers and stutters his "I love you" to Miss Elizabeth.
My heart melts and soars simultaneously - the sentiment behind his words, the magical nature of the English weather and its countryside. What girl wouldn't be swept off of her feet? Yet as romantic as the mist is, it usually brings to mind much more ominous thoughts than this romantic scene.....
Last summer, when our family had our own European adventure, my husband happened to see a sign to "Castle Drogo" on the highway, remembering the name from an architectural book he had at home, he thought it warranted a detour.
As we wound our way through the English countryside, the mist was thick, the hedges were high, and the single-lane road was deserted. We merely relied on the Sat-Nav, which had mostly been reliable as we hoped to be heading towards the castle. All I could think of were the scenes from the mystery novels I had devoured as a child... nothing good comes out of the mist (except for Mr. Darcy, whom I had forgotten for the moment) ... and I was convinced we were going to meet our demise.
The roadway leading to Drogo
Upon arrival at the Castle, I rather happily (and gratefully!) discovered that we were not the only people who had made this particular journey; there was no axe-murderer waiting to end our lives. I was relieved and joked with the cashier about the weather being typically English, very spooky and mysterious at the same time. He replied quite matter-of-factly to this, "why yes, it is very Hounds of the Baskerville-esque!"And that phrase has stuck.
Today, as I drove my daughter and I to the Good Friday service, the mist was thick and soupy; trees and buildings would suddenly appear and then disappear as the mist enveloped them, and all I could think about was the drive to Drogo, and how very Hounds of the Baskerville-esque the weather is today.
The view on the way to Church

A preview of Ballet Nice Mediterranee's 'Marco Polo'
by Saul Marziali
Novemeber 2010
The "Ballet Nice Méditerranée" will present as opening evening program, for its second season under the new direction of Eric Vu-An, "Marco Polo", a new production staged by the italian choreographer Luciano Cannito. I had the pleasure to be invited for the "summer version" of it, given last July
The work explores imagination and the imaginable through the descriptions of towns by Marco Polo the explorer. It tells also about a conversation between Polo and the busy emperor Kublai Khan, who all the time has merchants coming to describe the state of his expanding empire.
Marco Polo and Kublai Khan do not speak the same language. When Polo is explaining the various cities, he uses objects from the city to tell the story. The implication is that each character understands the other through their own interpretation of what they are saying. This leaves many options of
In Nice Eric Vu-An interpreted majestically the hard role of Kublai Khan, thanks to his strong presence, that kept the attention of the spectators sitting in the audience from the beginning to the end. Eric Vu-An's variations distinguished themselves for his unique ability to tell a story through mouvements of high artistical quality, nourished by his inner landscape rich of warm, deep and lived feelings.
Marco Polo, interpreted by the soloist Jean-Sébastien Colau, has been describe through a choreography, which used mostly as vocabulary the male jump and turning classical technique. A lot of virtuosism, but mastered very lightly by the tall and talented Jean-Sébastien Colau.
Others highlights of this productions were the duets between Eric Vu-An and Jean-Sébastien Colau as well as the pas de deux and the group scenes. The corps de ballet was very together and really involved in the piece, evidence of a very good work and of a very motivated company.
Marco Polo is also a colourfull, fascinating production and it is beyond question that is worthy to see the next performances the 29th, 30th and 31st of October at the main stage of the "Opéra de Nice", but this time with the full set on it!

CHESTER, Pa. – Hosting the San Jose Earthquakes in a rare late Sunday night game, the Philadelphia Union were the last team in the Eastern Conference to play this weekend. It gave them a chance to know what the rest of the East did and where they stood in the standings.
The Union could not have liked the results, though.
New England, New York and Columbus, who started the weekend either tied with or slightly in front of them, each won as the idle Union dropped to seventh place and four points outside of a playoff berth.
It set up a critical scenario against the Quakes to keep pace with just nine games remaining.
The Union responded with a wild 4-2 victory at PPL Park as Andrew Wenger tallied a pair of goals and Sebastien Le Toux had a goal and three assists.
"You gotta pay attention to that stuff," said Union defender Sheannon Williams, who admitted keeping track of other MLS games this weekend on his IPad, phone and TV and who scored the go-ahead goal off a free kick by Le Toux in the 72nd minute. "It's nice to know what you need to do to get right back into it. It's an advantage playing the last game and looking at the table. We definitely want to control what we can and take steps forward."
The win gave the Union 30 points and pulled them even with New England for sixth place, and they sit just one point behind New York for the last playoff spot.
The Union knew it could not afford to lose to the Earthquakes, who were playing their third game in eight days and had to make a cross-country trip after playing in Seattle on Wednesday.
"For sure, when you see every other team in the East picks up points on you there is added pressure," Union interim head coach Jim Curtin said. "You need a little help along the way but if we win all of our home games we are in the playoffs. That is the one thing we control – we have the majority of our games at home."
Six of the final nine games will be at PPL Park, where the Union have compiled a pedestrian 4-2-5 mark.
"I suppose it does add a little pressure but if we take care of business we are going to be in a great spot," Wenger said. "That is all we can ask of ourselves. It's important to win at home but it's one game and goal at a time and keeping things rolling."
Despite jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first 15 minutes, the Union almost let the three huge points slip away. After Wenger and Le Toux found the back of the net twice in four minutes and the Union headed into the break up 2-0, the Earthquakes tied the game behind goals from Sam Cronin and Chris Wondolowski.
However, the Union quickly responded behind Williams' goal, which he flicked a low cross from Le Toux with his head in front of the near post. Seven minutes later Wenger put the win to bed with his second of the evening and fourth of the year.
The Union are off until next Wednesday, when they host Toronto – and U.S. Men's National Team's Michael Bradley. With Saturday and Sunday off, Williams surely will be paying attention to the slate of MLS games with his trio of electrical devices again.
By the time Toronto arrives, Williams and the rest of his teammates will know exactly where they stand in the East.
"These last nine games are big games and every one of them is going to be tough," Williams said. "We are not going to have any easy ones."

Welcome to the latest edition of the Comics Run. Or final edition, I should say. Dark gods have fallen to Earth, taken human form, and declared thumbs down to IGN Comics. Our final crisis is at hand.
Not really. The truth is that IGN Comics has a new editor - a fellow you may recognize by the name of Joshua Yehl. And a new editor means changes for the site. One of those changes will be a revamped version of what started out as the Weekly Buyer's Guide, is currently known as The Comics Run, and will have a new name and look next week.
And thus ends my current stint on The Comics Run. But fret not. I'll be as involved with the site as ever, and I suspect I'll still pitch in on these features from time to time depending how many other plates Joshua is spinning in any given week.
As you've probably noticed, I've worked hard to make sure each Comics Run reflects a diverse lineup of books from various publishers. This week, however, is very much a Marvel-dominated list. All-New Marvel NOW is really kicking into gear as Marvel releases nearly every new January title in one giant batch. But you can also count on the Caped Crusader and a certain duo of Gaulish warriors to add a bit more variety.
No doubt you have your own opinions on what's hot this week, so take the opportunity to strike up a lively conversation in the comments section below.
If you want a comprehensive list of all the books being released this week, check out Diamond's shipping list.
All-New Marvel Now Point One - $5.99
It wouldn't be a new status quo for the Marvel Universe without another Point One issue. Like the previous two Point One specials, this issue features a number of short stories that basically act as prologues to upcoming Marvel books.In this case, you can look forward to tastes of Silver Surfer, Avengers World, Loki: Agent of Asgard, Black Widow, and Ms. Marvel. Hopefully this issue will also follow the example of the other two by offering a framing story that links these vignettes and teases what's to come from Marvel later in 2014.
All-New X-Factor #1 - $3.99
These days, we're lucky to get more than a couple of years out of any writer on a superhero comic. Peter David managed nearly a decade with his X-Factor run, and that wasn't even the first time he had an extended run with that team. It was obvious from David's final story arc that he was leaving certain threads open to return to later. Luckily, later is now. All-New X-Factor is a continuation of the previous series in some respects, but it's mostly a fresh start with a largely new cast and a new direction. All that really matters is that David still provides the humor, in-depth characterization, and intricate plotlines he's known for.
Asterix and the Picts HC - $14.95
If you need a break from the All-New Marvel NOW tsunami this week, let Asterix be your salvation. Asterix and the Picts is the 35th volume in this long-running series of Franco-Belgian graphic novels. It's also the first to send Asterix and Obelix overseas to Scotland. Perhaps a more significant first is that this is the first volume not handled by co-creator Albert Uderzo. It's a new era for a classic series, and it's good to see that these Gaulish warriors will continue to thrive as the torch is passed to a new pair of creators.
Avengers World #1 - $3.99
Writing three Avengers comics a month is a tough gig even for someone like Jonathan Hickman, so he's bringing in a little help. Avengers World is becoming the third pillar of Hickman's massive saga as Avengers becomes a once-a-month title again. And while Hickman is very much involved in shaping the book, it's Nick Spencer who's actually scripting it. But as we've seen from their previous collaborations and Spencer's solo work on Secret Avengers, Spencer has a knack for fitting right into this world and matching Hickman's grand style of storytelling. This book will allow an even bigger showcase for Spencer's talents, and hopefully a chance for some of the lesser-used Avengers to shine.
Black Widow #1 - $3.99
If there was any justice in the world, Marjorie Liu's Black Widow series would still be on the stands. Unfortunately, that book never quite found its audience, even in the wake of Iron Man 2. Whether this new series will prove any more successful in that regard remains to be seen. But the concept seems sound at least. Sort of a darker spin on Hawkeye's "This is what he does when he's not being an Avenger" concept, this series sees Natasha work to atone to the many families she wronged as a Soviet assassin. And it's got Phil Noto on art, which is never a bad thing.
Cable and X-Force #18 - $3.99
From the moment Marvel announced two X-Force books for Marvel NOW, one of the burning questions involved when the two teams would cross paths. Well, these two series are almost finished, but they're wrapping up with the big crossover everyone has been waiting for. In "Vendetta," Hope Summers is eager for revenge against the man who hunted her for most of her life - Bishop. But the return of Stryfe severely complicates matters for both X-Forces. This crossover will set the stage for the new, unified X-Force comic that's launching in March.
Detective Comics #27 - $7.99
DC only has one really noteworthy and unusual release this week, but it's a doozy. Detective Comics #27 pays homage to Batman's debut in the original Detective Comics #27 by offering up a massively oversized issue full of new stories. In addition to the first chapter of "Gothopia, the final story arc in John Layman and Jason Fabok's run, this issue features tales from Brad Meltzer and Bryan Hitch, Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy, Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen, and plenty more. There's even a variant cover from Frank Miller if you need a reminder of how whacked-out his All-Star Batman and Robin was. I wasn't overly fond of the previous Detective Comics anniversary special, but this gathering of creators is almost too promising to possibly disappoint.
Revolutionary War Alpha #1 - $3.99
Somehow, in the midst of all this All-New Marvel NOW madness, Marvel is also finding time to kick off a new crossover event that effectively brings back Marvel UK for a few months. I kind of wish they had timed this a little earlier when it might have attracted more eyeballs during Marvel's December dead month. But regardless, I'm eager to read any event that teams characters like Death's Head, Captain Britain, and Pete Wisdom and involves creators like Andy Lanning. Hopefully this event will be just the start of bigger things for this branch of the Marvel Universe.
Wolverine #13 - $3.99
We already know big things are coming for Wolverine this year, what with Marvel already hyping up September's Wolverine Vol. 6 #14. But first Paul Cornell has to wrap up Vol. 5. This penultimate issue is the final chapter of "Killable," with a wounded, weary Logan confronting the architect of his recent misery - Sabretooth. Last issue was easily one of the best of Cornell's run, and I'm expecting no less from this finale. And hopefully by the end, we'll have a better diea of what Wolveine's 2014 status quo will involve.
Young Avengers #15 - $2.99
I guess we're destined never to have a Young Avengers series that lasts longer than a year. I would have gladly followed this series for far longer than 15 issues. But better to go out on top than overstay your welcome. Kieron Gillen wraps up his run alongside Jamie McKelvie and an impressive lineup of guest artists (Becky Cloonan, Mike Norton, Ming Doyle, etc.). It's the after party these teen heroes deserve after saving the world from Mother. And while Loki and Hawkgirl have bright futures ahead of them, I hope there are plans brewing for the various other Young Avengers. Suddenly Marvel's teen heroes are feeling rather under-represented.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson did not appear at a scheduled disciplinary hearing with the NFL on Friday after agreeing to attend last week, according to ESPN.
The NFL claimed that Peterson refused to give the league an alternative date for the disciplinary hearing, which stems from his arrest for child abuse.
Friday's meeting was more significant than the conference call scheduled for 2 p.m. ET on Monday. The NFL Players Association filed an expedited, non-injury grievance on behalf of Peterson, requesting removal from the commissioner's exempt list.
The Friday meeting was originally scheduled last Tuesday, but the NFLPA told the league on Thursday...

The Case for Visual Analytics of Arsenic Concentrations in Foods
AbstractArsenic is a naturally occurring toxic metal and its presence in food could be a potential risk to the health of both humans and animals. Prolonged ingestion of arsenic contaminated water may result in manifestations of toxicity in all systems of the body. Visual Analytics is a multidisciplinary field that is defined as the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces. The concentrations of arsenic vary in foods making it impractical and impossible to provide regulatory limit for each food. This review article presents a case for the use of visual analytics approaches to provide comparative assessment of arsenic in various foods. The topics covered include (i) metabolism of arsenic in the human body; (ii) arsenic concentrations in various foods; (ii) factors affecting arsenic uptake in plants; (ii) introduction to visual analytics; and (iv) benefits of visual analytics for comparative assessment of arsenic concentration in foods. Visual analytics can provide an information superstructure of arsenic in various foods to permit insightful comparative risk assessment of the diverse and continually expanding data on arsenic in food groups in the context of country of study or origin, year of study, method of analysis and arsenic species.

Ukraine's press on Tuesday praised Andrei Shevchenko, who scored twice in the country's 2-1 win over Sweden, hoping that victory against France in the next match will take them through to the knockout stages.
"Twenty men ran while two masters played," the Internet site champion.com.ua quoted ex-Russia footballer Evgeny Lovchev as saying, referring to Shevchenko and Sweden's goalscorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Lovchev added: "God has helped people like Shevchenko. He's suffered from injuries and his career seemed to be over. But what a match he played! The master did everything required, which confirms his class and greatness."
The former coach of Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk, Jozsef Szabo, was just as enthusiastic, calling Shevchenko "admirable, a delight" on the website HotSport.ua.

Footballers are often subject to levels of fanaticism and worship that can turn any young player's head.
But Sheffield United's Chris Morgan says the real 'heroes' are out there in the community - and it would do up-and-coming soccer stars good to meet them.
Morgan, a patron of Weston Park Hospital, is referring to the seriously-ill youngsters whom players visit from time to time.
The Blades' U21s coach, who is taking part in the hospital's fund-raising 'Run in the Park' on Sunday July 12, believes it would be "good experience" for younger players to visit a place like the WPH Teenage Cancer unit.
He said: "We talk a lot to our young players about attitude and bravery - we talk about bravery in terms of being brave on a football pitch. To accept the ball in difficult situations. If we took them up to the hospital and showed actual bravery I think the young players would have their eyes opened."
Morgan said many young people were either sheltered or ignorant of the challenges, tragedies and successes of patients battling cancer.
"If we could show them that, it is truly an eye-opening position to be in" he says.
Morgan became involved in raising money for WPH years ago when he became a father, himself. "When you see the children and see how brave they are, that started me thinking. I was kindly invited to represent WPH as a patron, I thought about it for all of two seconds! Hopefully things like the Run will raise the awareness...let's try and fight this illness and get as much as funds as we can to get up against it."
The former defender said that key research at the WPH was funded by fundraising rather than from any NHS budget. "You have got to have research to get the better drugs and more understanding about the illness. Research triggers the new medicines and the results."
Morgan is clearly a driven-man when it comes to the WPH charity, one of three beneficiaries of his testimonial game against Newcastle United, on Sunday 26 July.
"I sometimes think I should do more. I certainly need to get up to the hospital more and go and see the patients and have a wander around" he says.
"When you (as a club) get the invite you think how can a football team going up to a hospital, how does it raise people's feelings and make them happier? But you can physically see them change."
Morgan said he and Nick Cox, the Blades Academy manager, welcomed the opportunity to represent the club at the Run in the Park.
He hopes to bring others from the Lane.

Response from Dr. Luzuriaga
You don't have anything to worry about with regards to HIV and sun exposure. However, you should probably take routine precautions (not too much sun, use sunscreen, etc.) to guard against other potential consequences of sun exposure (such as skin cancer).

- Wildlife
- Birds
- Wading birds
- Ringed Plover
Tom Marshall
A small, rotund wader, the ringed plover nests on bare gravel, shingle and sand at the coast and around flooded gravel pits and reservoirs. Unlike the little ringed plover to which it is quite similar in appearance, the ringed plover is a resident, although it is joined by wintering birds from Europe. Like other plovers, it forages for invertebrates and crustaceans in a particular way: standing and watching, running forward, pecking, then standing still again. Underground prey is tempted to the surface by 'foot-trembling' - the ringed plover taps its feet fast on the ground to mimic raindrops.
How to identify
Larger and chunkier than the little ringed plover, the ringed plover has an orange bill with a black tip, orange legs and no yellow ring around the eye. Sandy brown above, white below, with a black chest-band and black bridle markings on the head. When it flies it has a broad, white wingbar.
Where to find it
A common resident right around the coast, also found on gravel pits and reservoirs inland.
When to find it
- January
- February
- March
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
- October
- November
- December
How can people help
Breeding populations of ringed plovers are declining and are under threat from the development, drainage and pollution of their wetland and coastal homes. The Wildlife Trusts manage many wetland nature reserves for the benefit of the wildlife they support. You can help by supporting your local Trust and becoming a member; you'll find out about exciting wildlife happenings, events on your doorstep and volunteering opportunities and be helping local wildlife along the way.

Applies to: Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL
All currently available software released for Nintendo DS can be played on Nintendo DSi. However, as the Nintendo DSi does not have a Game Boy Advance Game Pak Slot, certain games for Nintendo DS that make use of the GBA Game Pak Slot cannot be played, or some of the games' features cannot be used. This concerns games that allow for the transfer of data between the Nintendo DS Game Card and a Game Boy Advance Game Pak, or games that require the use of an accessory in the GBA Game Pak Slot.
This is a list of Nintendo DS products that are not (fully) compatible with Nintendo DSi:
In the future, there may be DS games which have certain features that can only be enjoyed on a Nintendo DSi, or which will not play on Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite systems at all, but this will then be specifically mentioned on the product's packaging as well as on its gamepage here on the Nintendo website.

Age: 40
Number of Cruises: 1
Cruise Line: Norwegian
Ship: Norwegian Sea
Sailing Date: April 2nd, 2005
Itinerary: Western Caribbean
This was my first cruise and I spent a lot of
time looking at reviews after booking. There were many poor comments of the
Norwegian Sea and I was a bit apprehensive. There all full of BS.
The ship is a bit smaller than some other ships I'm told. But it seemed huge to me. There were 1700 onboard and I never felt crowded except on the days at sea when everyone was trying to lay in the sun. The pool was never crowded.
The carpet looked near new and everything was in good shape. The ship was absolutely spotless and is cleaned continually. The crew was excellent and incredibly hardworking.
I am an experienced musician and the musicians onboard were very good. One night there was a black woman they called the "chocolate goddess" that sang blues and jazz and was unbelievably good. I'd pay to see her again.
There was a duo in a lounge that played
classic rock. A big band type orchestra and a dance band in another lounge. All
were outstanding.
The food was excellent and plentiful.
The ports are fantastic, especially for scuba divers. This is some of the best diving in the world and great for snorkeling too.
I'd love to go on the Sea again. I'll definitely go Norwegian again. It's the best vacation I ever had.

The Grand Prix saw sales of 142,018, up from 104,979 in 1996, according to Automotive News.
Before brand management arrived at General Motors Corp. three years ago, designers and engineers planned vehicles and then turned to marketing to find "hot buttons" to sell them, said Mr. Heugh.
Now, in contrast, marketing staffs work together with designers and engineers to determine what target customers want in styling and features.
In planning the 1997 Grand Prix, Pontiac's best-selling car, Mr. Heugh and his team gathered 1,500 Grand Prix and competitive-car owners to test five different throttle linkages -- devices that control acceleration. The target buyers preferred a fairly fast throttle.
"We wouldn't do that before brand management," he said. "Before, all GM cars would have the same throttle."
Mr. Heugh, 55, estimates that he spends about a third of his time developing future products. The rest of his time is spent working on strategy, positioning, advertising and promotions with his Pontiac brand teams and agency D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles, Troy, Mich.
The "wider-is-better" tag that launched the '97 Grand Prix and continues on the '98 stems from the car's roots.
"We looked at the first Grand Prix ads from 1962. That's where we came up with `Wide Track'," said Mr. Heugh. The 1997's track -- or distance between the front or rear wheels -- is three inches wider than its predecessor.
Pontiac's Wide Track cars first arrived in 1959, with extended axles and sleeker, longer profiles; it sold the popular cars until the early 1970s' energy crunch.
Once the Wide Track design was determined for the '97 model, the "wider-is-better" ad theme fell into place, Mr. Heugh said.
In addition to not working with car developers before brand management, each division also had dedicated staff handling merchandising and promotions for all models that operated in virtual isolation from the advertising staff. But now all such activities are better planned because staff works with dedicated brand teams at both the client and the agency.
Last year, Grand Prix became a sponsor of Winter Fest, a promotion at downhill ski mountains. That tie-in has been expanded this year with an online sweepstakes.
Pontiac's measured media spending on Grand Prix was $45 million in the first three quarters of 1997 vs. $17 million during the same period in 1996, according to Competitive Media reporting. Grand Prix spending in all 1996 totaled $41 million.
Mr. Heugh has been with Pontiac since graduating from Detroit's Wayne State University in 1962. Before being named brand manager of Grand Prix in fall 1995, he was business team manager for Grand Prix, Firebird and Trans Sport.

Department of Defense Offers Refreshed "Frame of Choice" Eyewear Program
Department of Defense Offers Refreshed "Frame of Choice" Eyewear Program
YORKTOWN, Va. (NNS) -- Naval Ophthalmic Support and Training Activity (NOSTRA), Yorktown, Virginia, has announced active-duty military members have a newly refreshed selection of eyewear frames to choose from. The "Frame of Choice" updates were made and are now available Nov. 3.
James Darrah, director, NOSTRA Quality Operational Support noted, "The new frames come in a variety of plastics and metals, and reflect current styles in today's commercial market. With the exception of the 'Elite' frame, all other old Frame of Choice spectacles from the 2004 program have been removed."
The Frame of Choice Spectacle Program is a collection of civilian-style frames offered to permanent party active-duty Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard members. Reserve components on active duty for 31 days or more, and members of the National Guard who are called to active federal service for 31 days or more are also eligible. Military retirees, including retired general and/or flag officers, are not eligible for the Frame of Choice Spectacle Program.
The standard issue frame, which is not part of the Frame of Choice program, previously transitioned from the male and female brown S9 frames to the unisex black 5A and 5AM frames for eligible activity-duty personnel and retirees.
"The Ophthalmic Services instruction delineates which beneficiaries are authorized to receive the new Frame of Choice eyewear," said Cmdr. Brian Hatch, NOSTRA executive officer. "While we want to get this information out to the masses, we need everyone to be clear on eligibility. The complexities of ophthalmic product authorizations are well circumscribed in the current Ophthalmic Services Instruction. Interested personnel should consult the services' regulations -- Army Regulation 40-63, SECNAV Inst. 6810.1, or Air Force Instruction 44-121."
Capt. Paul Andre is the commanding officer of NOSTRA, the program executor for the Department of Defense Optical Fabrication Enterprise, and is charged with oversight of military optical fabrication worldwide. NOSTRA is the largest Department of Defense Optical Fabrication Lab and the home of the Department of Defense's only training program for opticians and optical fabrication specialists at its Tri-Services Optician School.

There are various homemade lye soap recipe, which require different materials that can be availed from the markets with ease. It is a bit time consuming and has complicity. Therefore, it is always better to opt for the hobby classes. The experienced teachers in the classes will make you learn how to make the soaps easily and quickly at home.
Soaps are considered a necessity in our daily lives. Since we use soaps in a lot of applications, we need soaps in our homes. One of the primary concern that people have when it comes to using commercial soaps is the drying effect on the skin. Most people are aware of how chemicals can do work and dry up the skin. Unlike natural organic soaps, you can be sure that your skin is moisturized even if you use it frequently.
Looking for a hobby that you want to try out? Soap making is a very fun hobby. You can put your creativity into making soaps. Since all ingredients are natural, you will not have to worry about any side effects on your skin. You can be sure that whenever you use your soaps, you will not have any allergies and so on.
When making soaps, you have to know that these are formed by saponification. This process deals with the alkali hydrolysis of oils with lye to make the soaps. Soaps are practically salts of carboxylic acids. This just involves mixing of oils as well as a base to produce the hardened soaps.
Organic handmade soaps are very fun to use! Especially if you made them from scratch, you would definitely enjoy using them. Switch to the safer alternative when using soaps. Do not let your skin get harmed. If you want beautiful skin, switch to only the natural choice.

Many people do not give their HVAC system until it is too late. It is sometimes tricky to find the right individual to fix or install your HVAC system. The tips here will ensure you go through the process.
If you struggle with your HVAC, try touring your home before calling a professional. Jot down the rooms that are hot and the ones that are cold. That way, the contractor will have an easier time diagnosing the problem and repairing it fast.
Know what type of your HVAC system before looking for a repair person. This will enable you can give your chosen contractor all the information they need.
Think about what improvements you want made before picking an HVAC contractor. If you can't describe the problem, you may not get an accurate quote. They also won't be able to offer you a quote if they don't have a detailed idea of what you want done. You need to know this before you begin.
If you've been having trouble with an HVAC system, do a tour of your house before you call in help. This will help the repairman determine where the problem is and how to fix it.
In order to keep your outside condenser fan running efficiently, make sure the coils and the fan blades are cleaned before the cooling season begins. Shut off power before working or cleaning your system. Additionally, it's important to clear out leaves and other debris from the outside condenser unit.
Hvac Contractor
A big mistake that people make is cutting the grass next to the outdoor condenser unit and allowing all of the clippings to blow inside the fan and coil. Get the grass shot away from your unit. Be just as mindful when you blow leaves to not blow them toward your HVAC equipment.
Know what you need before you select an HVAC contractor. It will be difficult for an HVAC contractor to give you a price estimate over the phone without knowing what your current system. It will be way more hard if you don't know what's wrong.
Look for shade when placing a compressor outdoors. The unit will operate more efficiently to cool your home if the intake air is cooler to begin with.
Your outdoor HVAC units might suffer when trees start to lose leaves. Make sure you clean out your fan grill is cleaned often during the fall. The fan needs to have an unobstructed path for air to enter the unit, and if it gets blocked, you will have to contend with problems.
Turn off outdoor condenser units when weather turns cold. To avoid damage, units should be turned off when temperatures are below 60 degrees. You'll pay less for repairs which you follow this tip.
Put your outdoor units in the shade if you are installing them.
Replace single pane windows by installing double pane, if possible. Double pane windows can help minimize how much you use your air conditioner in the summer, because they keep cool air inside the home. This also works during the cold months to keep the warm air inside.
Don't ever let your home get overly hot. Air conditioners can cool a home by just twenty degrees Fahrenheit within a reasonable amount of time. If the temperature in your home rises above 100 degrees, you'll only cool down to still above 80. This is not a healthy environment to live in.
If there isn't anyone at home, then there's no need for the AC unit to be running and wasting electricity. The house will only heat to certain level and a decent HVAC system can quickly cool this down once you are home. Leaving it on all the time only makes it work harder and results in a larger utility bill.
This article has given you some great tips about HVAC systems that you may not have been familiar with before. If your current system needs to be replaced or repaired, you'll know what things to look out for and what things to avoid. Keep this advice in mind to find the right system.
To choose a reliable HVAC contractor, the best thing to do is to do your homework on a number of possible firms and check out their reputations. Check with the BBB (Better Business Bureau), and look them up on review sites online to see what previous customers have to say about their experience. Take these steps to ensure you make wise choices.Read More...

Purdy drops two nail-biters to Seneca
The Purdy Eagles and Lady Eagles basketball teams lost a pair of tightly contested games to Seneca on Jan. 8.
The Purdy girls missed a game-winning shot as time expired to fall 35-34 to the Lady Indians.
The Purdy boys were sunk when Kyler Ng drilled a 3-pointer with 5.1 seconds remaining to give4 Seneca the 49-46 victory.
Purdy Girls
Purdy's girls got off to a slow start and fell behind 10-5 after one quarter of play.
Katie Hughes provided a spark off the bench for the Lady Eagles in the second period, scoring 5 quick points to pull the black and yellow to within 14-10.
However, Seneca recovered to take a 23-12 edge into halftime.
Purdy looked like a totally different team in the second half.
A crisp, aggressive and opportunistic Lady Eagles squad opened the third quarter with a 12-0 push to take a 25-23 lead.
Baskets by Desirie Ennis, Hughes, Courtney White and Mattie White led the charge.
Purdy held a 27-26 edge after three periods.
Mattie White's deuce and a Courtney White free throw to open the final quarter lifted Purdy to a 30-26 advantage.
The Lady Indians fought back with a basket by Mirana Heath and a trey by Courtney Cook to take a 31-30 lead with 4:07 left.
At the 3:09 mark, the Lady Indians' Molli Cooper broke a 32-32 tie with a 3-pointer from the right elbow.
Mattie White responded with a layup with a minute left. The Lady Eagles took three shots in the final minute to try to take the lead but couldn't get the ball through the hoop.
"We played one bad half and one really good half tonight," said Purdy coach Eli Ernst. "We have got to figure out how to play for all four quarters. I liked our energy in the second half. We just didn't finish."
Scoring for Seneca: Cooper and Heath, 12 points each; Bailey Skelton and Cook, 4 apiece; and Annie Howard, 3.
Scoring for Purdy: Mattie White and Ennis, 8 each; Hughes, 7; Jayse Henderson, 5; and Billie House and Courtney White, 3 apiece.
Purdy boys
The Purdy Eagles squandered a 9-point first-half lead, then erased an 8-point deficit in the fourth quarter before falling 49-46 to Seneca.
"It boils down to fundamentals," said Purdy coach Tommy Egan. "We struggled to keep Seneca off the offensive boards, and tonight, it cost us."
The Eagles controlled the first period using their speed in transition to beat the Indians down the court to take a 16-10 lead.
Seneca slowed the pace in the second quarter and outperformed the Eagles 15-10 to trail 26-25 at halftime.
Seneca, behind Ng's leadership, surged to a 39-33 lead after three periods.
The Indians pounded the ball into the paint and used their size to outmuscle the Eagles on the glass during the third quarter surge.
Purdy wouldn't fade and came out firing in the fourth quarter.
Alex Mareth started a 7-0 run with a 3-pointer then a five-foot jump shot. Austin Hancock completed the run with a layup.
Purdy tied the game at 44-44 on Tyler Scott's 3-pointer with 2:59 remaining. Hancock gave the Eagles a two-point lead with 1:54 left but Chance Smith's offensive board and put-back tied the game with 1:05 remaining.
After an Eagles' turnover with 15 seconds left, Ng worked free at the top of the key, catching a pass and shooting in rhythm to lift Seneca to the 49-46 victory.
Scoring for Seneca: Ng, 17 points; Logan St. Clair, 10; Smith, 8; Elias Roelfsema, 7; Bradley Jumper, 5; and Seth Harris, 2.
Scoring for Purdy: Mareth, 13 points; Glenn Scott, 12; Tyler Scott, 10; Hancock, 7; and Keevin Walker, 4.

Skip to comments.White Separatist Teen Twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede Say They've Renounced Hateful Message, Want Marijuan
Posted on 07/28/2011 7:39:11 PM PDT by TheDingoAteMyBaby
Lamb and Lynx Gaede were established teen recording artists 5 years ago. But the adorable, freckle-faced California twins weren't singing songs of love.
Raised in a Neo-Nazi household, the Gaede twins' lyrics were those of white supremacist hate.
Now 19, the pair formerly known as the pop group Prussian Blue claim to have changed their extremist ways.
"I'm grown up now. I was a little kid back then and said a lot of things I don't believe in now," Lynx told ABC News.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
Oh, I remember them. Nice to learn they're approaching normalcy. Still stuck with the stupid names, though.
All they gotta do is say their parents were Republican all along. The MSM will have them on 24/7.
Huh? These girls' mother did anything but "try [her] best to raise 'em right" - she tried her best to raise them white supremacist.
And people say Marijuana isn't good for anything.
They want to marry Juan who? And do both of them want to marry him?
LOL! The format limits the number of characters in the title.
Juan you get out of my country, is his name.
Terrible! Obviously, home schooling must be outlawed. Socialist indoctrination must be standardized.
On a side note, I like their names.
Not marry Juan - Juana.
Have to move to New York first.
I had a college classmate named Steed.
Just teasin'. ;-)
How do you think I'm getting through watching the news right now?
The Nazi (national Socialists) back then and today have always taught collectivist thinking and beliefs like all the other flavors but theirs has a racist bent to it - others a class warfare bent.
Damn. That ought to be a manly boy! A couple years ago I had a student named Thor AND a student named Ulysses! I was sure that Mercury or Zeus would show up any day.
Not if you offered me a tractor trailer full of gold.
So, any estimates for how soon they will be appearing in a minor men's magazine? I'm not sure they have what it takes to go direct to Internet, unless it is behind a very expensive subscription wall.
Oddly enough, Germany has anti homeschooling laws on the books that date back from the 3rd Reich. The NAZIs didn't like parents determining what little Hansel and Gretel learned.

Oil Over the Bridge
BP Black Friday
Friday 06/11/10 @ 12:11 pm
Millennium Park Chicago
Bring a black umbrella. If you don't have a black umbrella, wear all black.
12:11 pm: Casually converge on the BP Pedestrian Bridge
12:20 pm: When the whistle blows, we will generate a visual representation of the oil slick seen from above by filling the entire walkway of the BP bridge. Starting from the middle of the bridge over Columbus Drive, open your umbrella and squat or sit down, covering as much space with your umbrella or body as possible. Sit close enough to the people around you to create a canopy of umbrellas and bodies.
Please do not
carry signs,
confront patrons of Millennium Park,
damage property,
or otherwise break any laws.
This flash mob is a silent protest intended to bring together a community of concerned citizens in creating a living illustration of the damage that threatens the collective health of our planet.
The intent is not to block the bridge, nor to damage it, but to join together in a lively way to make a statement: swift action must be taken before more of our world is destroyed by oil.
12:35 pm: When the whistle blows a second time, quickly and calmly collect yourself and disperse. Please do not linger any longer than necessary.
Bring your friends and family! The more the merrier and when the bridge fills with umbrellas, feel free to do what the oil would do and spill out into the park.
Don't forget to greet your neighbors: introduce yourself, make new friends. A key objective for this action is to have fun!
If anyone asks what is going on or what you are doing, we suggest simply stating, "The oil flow must be stopped."

Brilliant conception - public art with a message

I am still trying to find out who is the brains behind this protest. Found out about it thru Face Book. The Bridge is actually named BP Pedestrian Bridge for energy firm BP, which donated $5 million toward its construction!

Too bad Chicago decided to close the bridge -- an elegantly conceived photo op dashed. But then, don't corporations have the last word?

text: Hi there, I'm just upgrading some equipment due to our neighbors polluting the 2.4GHZ in some areas (specifically two routers sending at 1+6 and 5+11 channels in addition to 6 other routers resulting in a really dirty 2.4GHZ band in some locations). I'm looking for: The best High Performance Wifi-Setup for Throughput and High Performance Gaming (= Low Ping at a stable connection) in the N and AC-Band only. The High Performance Device(s) will connect via the Wireless Ethernet Bridge in the 5.8GHZ Band. The 5.8GHZ Band should also be used to link between the Router and Repeater since the 2.4GHZ Band is to polluted in the area (the positions are optimally choosen and switching positions will not do anything other then worsening the situation). The rest of the Clients will be using the 2.4GHZ Connection of the Repeater (due to it being the best position for it - and only needing medium performance throughput). The Main-Router will have QoS enabled and properly Setup (I've read all tutorials and have used it to good success for over 2 years now) to trottle bandwidth dynamically enabling still good pings while watching a stream or downloading a big file. I'm a bit unsure how to arrange my Equipment as of now, so in short I'm looking for advice how to arrage them. As in f. e. AC56U in 2nd Floor as Main-Router, AC66U in 1st Floor as Repeater, N66U as Wireless Ether Bridge in the ground floor. Read below at "My previous Setup". My Environment: 30MBit's Connection via Cable with a Stable Ping between 15-20ms (averaging at 17ms) 9 Wireless-Clients all of them at least at N-Standard with a Throughput of 144 Mbit 's each at least. However only one of them should be used for High Performance Gaming / Maximum Throughput, that is also the one which will get the Wireless Ethernet Bridge this one is sitting at the ground-floor level with 1 wall and a medium wooden ceiling in-between. Big house with medium-thick walls (no steel/concrete) ranging over 3 floors (including the ground-floor) The Modem and Main-Router is in the 2nd floor. It wasn't my choice to do that - but at least it 's enabling quite good WiFi access in the garden/court via the 2.4GHZ band (which hasn't be used at High Performance Speeds. The Equipment I have at hand now: Asus RT-AC66U AC1750 Asus RT-AC56U AC1200 Asus RT-N66U N900 (the only device from my old setup) My previous Setup: Cable-Modem connected via 1GB Ethernet to the Asus RT-N16U acting as Main-Router with QoS enabled and acting as the DHCP-Server in the 2nd floor. The Asus RT-N16U will be replaced by either the N66U or the AC56U. It 's all working in the N-Band only right now. Asus RT-N66U in the 1st floor with almost Airline (not exactly - a bit of the stairs is in the way - wooden that is) connected in Wireless Bridge Mode via the 2.4GHZ Band (since the N16U has only 2.4GHZ that is why I'm replacing it due to the new routers in the neighboorhood). The connection between them is at 20mHz Channel-Width with a signal of 50% at 144MBPS pretty stable but as I said the 2.4GHZ is pretty polluted especially at the area both of those connect so I'm absolutely looking forward to replace that with a more reliable 5.8GHZ connection. The Asus RT-N66U also has a 64GB USB 2.0 Stick attached which is used for the TV and to share movies with different Devices via DLNA. Asus USB-N66 Wireless-Client in the Basement with a wall and a medium tick (more thin then thick) wooden concrete. I'm connected via 5.8GHZ to the RT-N66U with about 56-58 dBi at 144-178 MBits. The Connection to the RT-N66U is pretty stable, so I imagine with a Wireless Ethernet Bridge it should be better even though the USB-N66 is using 3 internal Antennas. How I think I should be arranging the new Setup: Cable-Modem connected via 1GB Ethernet to the Asus RT-AC56U in the 2nd floor. It only has 4 internal Antennas however I read that the AC-Band has far better Wireless Range in the 5.8GHZ Frequency so I guess it 's best to use the 5.8GHZ Band with AC/N Mixed and ... ... connect the Asus RT-AC66U in the 1st floor to it via Wireless Repeater Mode in the AC-Band. This place is the best one for reaching all clients - also my own PC with High Performance needs in terms of a reliable and low Ping and good troughput via the Wireless Ethernet Bridge. All other devices will connect via 2.4GHZ which can now run properly either in the Channel 3 or Channel 9 which are the least polluted in that area, and hasn't to be shared like in my previous Setup also giving the best range for most of the other Clients. This should also enable me to ... ... use the RT-N66U as a Wireless Ethernet Client in the ground-floor. I know that it isn't possible for it to reach the theoretical Speeds of the AC-Routers / Clients being limited to 20mHz only however if it has a stable Connection with a least 180 Mbit/s it should be well enough and not give me a bottleneck - unlike if I use the RT-N66U either as the Repeater or Main-Router since it doesn't have the AC-Band. Yep it 's a long read but in the end ... Let me add that I have about 0% packetloss with my current Setup and a ping from my ground-floor to the LAN-PC at the Main-Router averaging at 2-4ms with a maximum ping of 50ms (which is simply due to the polluted 2.4GHZ connection between the Repeater and the Main-Router). Between the ground-floor and the Repeater I have a maximum ping of 4ms and an average of 1ms. Wew, ok. Quite a read, did I forget anything or am I doing some stupid stuff? I would like to hear your thoughs on if I'm planning my new setup correctly or if I should arrange it differently - or add a station inbetween. Thanks for taking the time to read that Wall of Text! Cheers, Simon. p.s: Shibby, Jacky any everyone working on Tomato - if you ever read that - thank you very much for all the work you do for us! Your stuff ranges far above all other business implementations I've seen and I wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't for you! Edit: Sorry if this isn't the correct Sub-Forum. I though it best fits here since all of them are using Tomato and it 's related to it in good amounts (the complete setup and it 's performance that is).
