It's Election Day in Canada, and it promises to be an historic one. Stephen Harper's Conservative government was returned to power in 2008, when it won a plurality of parliament, but not a majority, for the second time in as many years. The result was what they call a "minority government."
But Harper lost a confidence vote earlier this year when all of the other parties in parliament decided to force the issue. As a result, we are about to see Canada's fourth national election in seven years.
For decades, the Liberal Party was that nation's natural governing party. Today, the left-of-center Liberals are expected to place third for the first time in Canadian history. The conservatives are expected to win again (although it's anyone's guess by how much) and the left-wing New Democratic Party.
We will find out tonight the precise effect of the NDP's late and sudden surge in the polls. One possibility: They act as a spoiler in enough races (both against the liberals and against the separatist Bloc Quebecois) to give conservatives an outright majority for the first time in 23 years. Another possibility: They win enough close races to weaken the Conservatives and return a smaller minority government. A third possibility, considered far less likely: They do well enough for their leader, Jack Layton, to become the next Prime Minister of Canada.
Under any of these scenarios, the NDP has an opportunity this year to replace the Liberals as Canada's default left-wing political party. In U.S. terms, this would be the equivalent of a third party overtaking the Democrats.

Finally, after months and months of waiting we get our hands on Smash Bros. Brawl.
Smash Bros. Melee was one of the greatest games on the GameCube and a huge amount of unlockable content helped it stand the test of time longer than any of the others. Since the Nintendo Wii was launched we've been teased with animated trailer sequences of the next Smash Bros title, but launch delays and a longer wait for European gamers to get their hands on the game have tested the patience of many of us.

Virtual Memory Too Low Balloon Error
I am receiving error at the bottom left of my screen. It's randomly appearing without warnings. The error I am receiving is:
I deleted some useless files to be able to have free spaces. When I look in My Computer then right click the C drive and go to Properties I still have a lot of remaining free spaces. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 before but now I downloaded an update to make it Service Pack 3.
Since then, this error keeps popping on my screen. I also tried defragging my system. And also cleared all my browsers history and cache. This pesky error is really pissing me off. I adjusted the setting for this error by right clicking My Computer then Properties then advanced tab and the settings in the panel. The error stops popping for a while. But after a week, the error is there again. If anyone here who had the same problem and luckily fixed it, please help me.

I want to help you pick out the right unit. So, starting next week I'm launching a new UCS blog series titled "How To Choose The Right Condo". I will post every several weeks on pointers and caracteristics of what makes up a great condo purchase.
If there is one thing I've learned over the time, it is that the "right" purchase will benefit you beyond your wildest expecations. Keep in mind that the inverse could happen as well. Making the wrong purchase can haunt you for years; especially during a down market. When you understand how to properly evaluate your purchase, you'll gain a sense of confidence when making that very important decision.
Stay tuned; I think you will enjoy what I have to say.

Release Date: 2009 |
Album Rating: 4.5Hello everyone!I'm new to this site and I've always enjoyed writing. I thought I would begin by basing my first review on a more obscure band before attempting more major releases. Looking forward to hearing from everyone!
11/03/2010 - Thanks for the feedback so far!I found a place where you can stream almost the full album for all of you are curious: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=192566A37B3CC435
the concept of this album alone makes me want it. i love i,robot. so this seems like something i need. nice review, will pos.
Rage Against the Machine vs. God by Machine...
Tell me something, where does 13 refer to? (in "energized 13")
Seems awesome, will check it out
good review, especially for a first. Album sounds interesting so if I have the time I'll check it out.
Also, some pointers:
1) the whole 5th paragraph could be turned into delete, as it adds nothing to the review, rather breaks up the flow a bit
2) the Conclusion at the start of your final paragraph is unnecessary. Just start the final paragraph with I, Human depicts that while Deus Ex Machina...
Still, this is a good review and I will pos (pos means to vote yes on "was this review well written?", incase you didn't know)
Thanks for the review. We're much obliged. We'd love to play in your country if we ever could.
Keep in touch and thanks for all the support

The city builder is a genre that's nearly disappeared over the last decade. It's a victim of the market. City builders aren't the kind of flash-bang titles that big publishers usually love, but they're also too complex for most small studios to tackle.
Electronic Arts will finally revive the SimCity franchise next year, but until then there are only a few modern options, which I highlighted in a previous article The 3 Best Modern Alternatives To SimCity The 3 Best Modern Alternatives To SimCity One game genre that's unfortunately withered is the city simulator. This type of game was never a huge success compared to action-packed shooters and real-time strategy games, but it's always had a place in the... Read More . They're all fun games, but SimCity 4 is still the standard in the genre. If you haven't played the game recently – or *gasp* at all – here are five reasons to fire it up.
Easy In
SimCity 4 is a simulation game, but it's no IL-2 Stumorvik. The game is designed to be friendly and accessible to all players. This is an Electronics Arts title, after all, and it was developed alongside The Sims. There's even an option to import your Sims character.
What this means is that you'll find plenty of tutorials and an easy difficulty level that's well worth its name. Even the medium difficulty setting gives you plenty of money for early growth. You can screw up in SimCity 4, and badly, but it won't be because you don't know the difference between a residential zone and an industrial zone.
The game also benefits from its age and 2D graphics. You can run the game on just about anything. It was made before widescreen displays were popular, however, so you'll need to use a minor tweak to make the game look nice on large monitors.
Flavor Text
The SimCity franchise has a long history of informative silliness. I still remember the newspapers from SimCity 2000, a game I played endlessly in my youth. They were funny but also helpful. Without them I would have far less knowledge about what was happening in my city.
SimCity 4 actually improves the concept by introducing a small window that displays a variety of issues as they appear. Some are silly non-issues meant to lighten the game. Others are praise for the things you get right. And a few are serious issues that need to be resolved if you want your city to grow.
This seemingly minor feature is one of SimCity 4's greatest advantages over many more modern city builders. When you screw up in SimCity 4, you usually have a good idea why, because the game tells you. It will even direct you to the exact intersection that's clogged up or the exact neighborhood with too much crime.
Constant Challenge
The wealth of information doesn't make the game a cakewalk, however. The general agreement among fans of the series is that SimCity 4 is, beneath its friendly exterior and box art, a pretty hardcore game. But the challenge doesn't come from figuring out the problem. It comes from figuring out what to do about it.
Sitting down and enjoying your city does sound nice to some players, I'm sure, but it doesn't make for much of a game. The more recent Cities XL is a good example. That title is beautiful and allows for wonderful cities that are full of interesting buildings. But I grew bored with it, and most reviewers expressed similar disinterest. It was just too easy, and staring at your city's skyline is interesting for only so long.
SimCity 4 is difficult. Your first five cities will probably stall out or go bankrupt. It can be disappointing, and frustrating, but it also gives you a reason to try again. There's always a new strategy to try.
Fake Realism
There are a lot of things to like about SimCity 4, but its greatest accomplishment its realism. The game abstracts city management in many ways, but those abstractions don't make the game feel transparent. Instead they make it feel like an accurate reflection of real life.
A situation from my recent game is an excellent example. I built a new city with a focus on high-density, high-value residential neighborhoods. These bring in more tax dollars without taking up more space.
Higher density means more demand on roads, however, and the volume of demand took me off guard. I discovered my layout was inefficient, so I had to rip up some residential neighborhoods and widen the streets to avenues – a costly development project. I also had to increase services and begin a metro bus service. Before I knew it, costs were out of control, and my plan began to fall apart. I had to deal with high traffic for several in-game years before I had the money to completely resolve the problem.
These are the problems real cities face, and they are the problems you'll face in SimCity 4. They are difficult, but they feel real, and playing the game may give you more respect for the challenges faced by real-life city planners.
It's Still The Best
There have been some popular city-management games of various types since the last title in the SimCity franchise. Some of them are quite good. I'm particularly fond of Dawn Of Discovery and its economic model, which focuses on the demand for certain goods.
Yet there's no doubt in my mind that SimCity 4 remains the game to beat. It's a perfect balance of accessibility, challenge and fun. Dawn Of Discovery feels obtuse and too abstract while both Cities XL and Tropico are a bit too easy.
The new game in the franchise, which is simply called SimCity, will be released in 2013. It looks promising so far, but SimCity 4 is the standard it will be compared to. I don't envy the developers trying to top it.
Oh, and if you do decide to pick up the game after reading this article, make sure you buy the Deluxe Edition. It includes the wonderful Rush Hour expansion.

Installed it again on July 2011 and played a lot ever since. Love this game, remember playing SimCity 2000 when I was young on a SNES and then SimCity 3000 before I got to SimCity 4. The Rush Hour Expansion it's definitely a must have for hardcore SimCity players.
Damn, great review.. This time i read article seriously every word, because i don't know what game is it, but i am thinking to know what interesting about it..
And you know, I'll definitely play it..
Thanks for this..
I remember when I used to go to my friend's house and play this the whole afternoon! this really is a great game!
i lost my interest of playing sim city from long time, it is not providing new idea
Great! Time to bring out my old copy of Sim City 3000 then.
Go back to it? I never left! It's been my city simulator of choice since 2004. And you forgot, hands down, the #1 reason. Mods! There are so many amazing mods available, such as the NAM, RHW, NWM, CAM, and literally thousands more. http://community.simtropolis.com/files/
For first time users, everyone should always start with the NAM, and probably the RHW and NWM. The rest you can worry about later, but the difference those mods make is staggering, it's a must really.
I never played SimCity or Sims before! Because it is very large to download. Is there any ultra-compressed download?
you better go with the normal one or buy it from a local store! never ending fun! :)
Although I'm still you could look for a portable version and would still come up with something!
SimCity 4 is not a large download compared to modern games. I'm not sure exactly how big the download is, but I doubt it's any more than 1-1.5 GB or so from Steam. I mean it fit on 2 700 MB CD-Roms. That's small compared to any major modern game. Or, you could easily buy it on CD off Amazon or something.
Actually, Amazon's PC download service says it's 1.2 GB, so I bet Steam is about the same. And it's only like $12 on CD. http://www.amazon.com/SimCity-4-Deluxe-Edition-Pc/dp/B0000C0YW2
SC4 maybe more complex, but it still isn't the best - it's boring. Not as bad as zzzzzzXL though.
Playing with old school SC2K is more fun. :)
I love the SimCity franchise and m waiting for the next. the trailer looked awesome and you sould've added the trailer at the end of this article so that the readers get the idea of the next game. how ever, SC4 is kinda lagging on my 560ti with high end graphics and I dnt have a solution! so m waiting for the new one to come! :)

Before you post your domains here, keep in mind that unless it's a one word domain, and even though a recent undeveloped domain can be bought for a high price, most of the domains are worth acording to the amount of traffic generating, if they include website or not, rank on google, the amount of automated income, etc. So, post your domains here and someone will reply soon enough.

Muscled Frat Dude Stu Nails His Buddy Porter Raw & Deep
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Feb.13, 2014, under SeanCody
Stu is a cute, muscular 19-year-old stud with a nice charming smile and a very laid-back attitude towards life in general. People love to spend time with him because of his all-around relaxed nature. He might come across as a bit shy at first, but later on everything goes well.
Stu likes to play sports, he's adopted an active type of lifestyle. In fact, he says he must always do something in order to remain "normal". He has worked in a gym at the front desk where his job primarily consists of greeting people when they arrive.
However, during summer he opts for something that requires a more active use of muscles. For example he works as a lifeguard at a local beach. He says he's been a lifeguard ever since he turned 16 and that he adores the job! Stu is still not sure what he would like to do in life, what profession to choose, but he has a few ideas already. He says he could become a skydiving instructor, or teaching younger children to ride dirt bikes. So it has to be something that involves an active lifestyle.
Stu has a very nice, muscled chest, quite muscled and very hairy legs and a very nice cock to match!
So, Stu was paired with handsome new stud Porter whom we met relatively recently. Porter is a self-admitted exhibitionist and he says he's already had sex in weird places such as on the beach, and in an elevator. He loves blowjobs, but the cocksucker has to use his or her hands and tongue, and focus on the cockhead a lot.
Porter lets Stu drill his ass in various positions. Nice hot bareback fucking action with these two hotties.

text: Found this doing my "homework" I think it will be interesting: Q: What if I use multiple computers for my business - will I have to verify my identity every time I use one or the other? A: We will definitely support multiple computers. During this information-gathering stage (now through June, roughly) we'll be able to tell which computer(s) you typically use to buy or sell, and as long as you're using one of these, you won't need to verify your identity. You also will be able to access multiple, different accounts from the same computer (such as in the case where a business has multiple IDs). Q: How will you track which computer I'm using? A: We generate a unique ID that identifies the computer you've used to connect to eBay. This unique ID is stored on your computer using cookies and Flash objects* so that the next time you visit eBay, we're able to confirm that you're using the same computer. This unique ID doesn't include any personal information, such as your email address or eBay transactions, and won't be shared with anyone else. Q: Will people who do not have a cell phone, or other alternate number that can be used when away from home, be able to verify their identity in some other way? A: If you're away from your normal computer, you will be able to enter the telephone number where you are as part of the identity confirmation process. However, you'll also need to to answer your secret question to do so, as part of an additional security step. If you're not able to provide another number (for example, because you don't have a phone handy), you can use our Live Chat function so that one of our Customer Support Reps can verify your identity. Q: Why not just use a "challenge question" instead of phone calls? A: Some businesses use challenge questions, some use phone calls, and some use a combination. We chose the phone method because we felt it provided the right level of convenience and security for the eBay Marketplace. Q: What about ISPs that assign a different IP address for each session, or those that change the IP address each time the modem is rebooted? A: We use a number of different variables to note what computer you buy and sell from. You won't need to verify your identity as long as you're using your normal computer(s), even if your IP address changes. Q: How will listings submitted through a 3rd party listing service be handled? A: You should not be affected unless you need to authorize 3rd party access to your eBay account. During that process, you will need to go through identity verification if we do not recognize that computer. Q: Are you going to put similar security measures on bidders? A: Right now this will only affect selling. But depending on the results of this initiative and changing fraud patterns, we may apply this program to other eBay activity in the future. Q: Won't bad guys just change the phone number as soon as they take over an account so they then receive the phone call? A: If we see that you've just changed your contact details (or basically any time we feel that the phone number may not actually be the seller's), we will ask you to answer your secret question as an additional security measure. This will prevent fraudsters from changing your account details and using the new info to confirm an identity. *If it's ok with moderators I will post info about Flash objects

El Segundo, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2012
Source Interlink Media, LLC (SIM) announced today that AUTOMOBILE Magazine, America's leading automotive lifestyle publication, has selected the Tesla Model S as its 2013 Automobile of the Year. The magazine also honored winners of its Design, Man, Technology and Racing Car of the Year with today's announcement.
To say that the editors were surprised by the efforts of Tesla, a young automaker building its first ground-up automobile, would be an understatement. Associate editor David Zenlea writes in the January 2013 issue that, "We weren't expecting much from the Tesla other than some interesting dinner conversation as we considered 'real' Automobile of the Year candidates, but in fact, the Tesla blew them all away."
Indeed, the Tesla Model S broke out of a crowded competitive field to win AUTOMOBILE Magazine's most prestigious award, edging out highly regarded finalists such as the Porsche 911, Honda Accord, Subaru BRZ, Cadillac ATS, and BMW M5. After four days of on-road and track testing, editors concluded that Elon Musk's brainchild heralds a new frontier in automotive development due to its pure electric powertrain, long driving range, and performance – especially its performance, which was the biggest and most talked-about surprise of testing week. "It's the performance that won us over," said Jean Jennings, president and editor-in-chief of AUTOMOBILE Magazine. "The crazy speed builds silently and then pulls the edges of your face back. It had all of us endangering our licenses."
The AUTOMOBILE Magazine staff was also smitten by the Tesla's design elements, such as flush door handles that power out to meet the passenger, the lack of an ignition button (the car automatically turns on when it senses a person in the driver's seat), and the luxurious, ultramodern cabin highlighted by a 17-inch touchscreen that controls audio, navigation, climate, and other vehicle functions.
The editors were also pleased by how the car performed on the track. The steering is nuanced and well-weighted, and the Tesla Model S maintains impressive body control and grip through corners, all while providing an uncannily smooth and quiet ride. There are plenty of luxury sedans with these qualities, but only the Tesla Model S is a pure electric car, one with a range of up to 265 miles. That's what makes it an absolute game changer.
Any all-new 2013 car was eligible for consideration, and finalists for the 2013 AUTOMOBILE Magazine Automobile of the Year were established by a primary ballot vote of the senior editorial staff and contributing writers of AUTOMOBILE Magazine. While editors consider what the finalists signify for both their respective manufacturers and for the automotive industry, pure desirability, practicality, affordability, packaging and fuel economy also help determine the winner.
In addition to the Tesla Model S being named the 2013 AUTOMOBILE Magazine Automobile of the Year, the brand also announced the following winners for Design, Man, Technology and Racing Car of the Year. Full stories on all of the award winners can be found at automobilemag.com and in the January 2013 issue of the publication.
Design of the Year – Porsche Boxster
The third-generation Porsche Boxster lives up to its hype, writes AUTOMOBILE Magazine design editor Robert Cumberford: "With this Boxster, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer has brought the Porsche design team into a realm it has never before occupied, with pure style and pure functionality fused in products of exceptional elegance." It emerged as the unanimous winner of the AUTOMOBILE Magazine Design of the Year.
Man of the Year – Sergio Marchionne
Had CEO Marchionne, a lawyer and accountant, not taken the wheel at Chrysler in 2009, the automaker would likely have been driven straight to the scrapyard. Instead, strong new products have been streaming into dealerships, sales have bounced back, and profits have returned with the AUTOMOBILE Magazine Man of the Year at the helm.
Technology of the Year – Cameras
Cameras in cars aren't new, but with their increasing prevalence and their capacity for reducing the risk of accidents via forward collision warning, lane departure alert, and pedestrian detection, they are the clear choice for AUTOMOBILE Magazine's 2013 Technology of the Year award.
Racing Car of the Year – Ben Bowlby's DeltaWing
The Nissan DeltaWing is AUTOMOBILE Magazine's slam-dunk Racing Car of the Year. Designer Ben Bowlby's groundbreaking insight was realizing that two tiny front wheels positioned close together would turn just as well as two large wheels spaced far apart, offering unparalleled aerodynamic efficiency. In the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the DeltaWing ran competitively with roughly half the power, half the weight and half the fuel of its rivals.

When Walt Disney was originally creating Mickey Mouse, he was actually debating naming him Mortimer, after a mouse he owned as a child, but Walt decided against this name after some discouragement from his wife Lillian Disney. Lillian believed, rightly so, the name sounded too pompous for a cartoon character and recommended Walt change the name to Mickey, and believe it or not the name stuck. The beloved mouse we all know today debuted in November 1928, but the idea of Mortimer the arrogant mouse remained in the back of Walt's mind for years.
Although the idea behind Mortimer was already in the mind of Walt, it wasn't until 1936 that Mortimer was brought to life as Mickey's distinct opposite in the short "Mickey's Rival," however he originally appeared in the Mickey Mouse comics under the alias Mr. Slicker. The only distinct similarity between Mickey and Mortimer is their affection for Minnie. There's even a rumor that Mortimer was Minnie's former boyfriend, but Mickey and Minnie's love is much stronger. I mean they have been together for 88 years! Beyond this similarity though, their traits diverge.
Mickey had been established as a short, silly and loving mouse, so to visually create Mortimer as Mickey's opposite he was manifested as tall, slick and cunning. Mortimer is said to be a mouse, but because of his long snout, whiskers and defined front teeth, he resembles an animal closer to a rat fitting for his personality.
In "Mickey's Rival," Minnie enjoys the company of Mortimer in the midst of a date with Mickey, but after Mortimer releases an angry bull, Mortimer flees. Mickey is left to protect his true love with the help of his car and saves the day.Mortimer ran so far, he didn't appear again in a cartoon again until "Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas" in 1999; over 60 years later! After the Disney Christmas special, Mortimer gained popularity allowing him to be brought into future Mickey cartoons. Mortimer first came to Mickey Mouse Works in the short "Mickey's Rival Returns." In addition, Mortimer frequently appeared on the House of Mouse, often being seen attempting to seduce the woman at the House of Mouse. Even though he's one of Mickey's main villains, Mortimer was widely disliked by the other Disney villains. Even Mickey's arch nemesis Pete didn't care for the rodent.Next Mortimer is seen as Megamort in Mickey Mouse Club House in the episode "Super Adventure." Megamort attempts to take over the Clubhouse world, but Mickey stops his villainous behavior!
Most recently, Mortimer has appeared in the series Mickey Mouse. In the episode "No" he uses Mickey's inability to use the word "no" to pursue Minnie Mouse, but by the end of the episode he explains Mickey can have her.
Over the past few years, Mortimer has become a staple of Mickey Mouse cartoons and has shown time and time again that he is sleazy and doesn't hold any regard for the feelings of Mickey Mouse or the ladies he attempts to impress, but hey I would be frustrated too if I could've been Mickey Mouse.

Since they switched to the new platform, adwords for video, I can't seem to figure out how to buy views for my keywords without getting my adwords account banned because of the links. I have lost 3 adwords accounts. Does anyone know how I can set up a campaign and just have my videos show? I don't need all the extra stuff that the adwords platform has. Thanks,

I'm interested in images as traces of cognition that betray those mechanisms that allow us to generate internal representations of the world. Images allow us to reflect not only on how we attend to the world but also how we categorize and conceptualize every unique moment of embodied life. At the root of my artistic enquiry is an epistemological position where subjects and objects are considered mutually constructive. As subjects, we read into the world and ignore variation to focus on the abstract and quintessential aspects of objects; these aspects are as much a function of our imagination as they are of the world as independent of us.
We build internal simulations of the world that mirror our constructed culture and facilitate perception. Cognition requires simulations to resist the constant barrage of the world as independent of cognition, less we recoil into the abyss of unrelenting flux, randomness and noise. This constant tension between objects and subjects is the very core of our nature. We believe we are in control, but the independent world always creeps into our minds, throwing off predictions and subverting expectations.
I use computational systems to examine this power struggle between subjects and objects. I build machine subjects that manifest foundational processes that carve boundaries in continuity in the formation of percepts and concepts. My machines categorize, organize and reduce the infinite complexity of the independent world. In doing so they participate in a process of abstraction that breaks sensed structures into atomic particles that serve as the material from which new structures are constructed. These 'mental' images are of the world—they uncover underlying statistical truths about the world, but they are also of the subject—they are projections of bounded subjective understanding.
In some of my recent work, machines learn from cultural artifacts rather than sensory information. These artifacts are cultural products through which we understand the world and ourselves. In deconstructing, categorizing, predicting and reconstructing cultural artifacts, I emphasize the tension between subjects and objects. The machine is both an alien subject attempting to understand our culture and a cultural object that manifests our understanding of ourselves.

Quadcopter Kits for Sale
For some quadcopter enthusiasts there's an alternative to purchasing an already assembled quadcopter, known as a quadcopter kit. Quadcopter kits put the imagination and creativity in your hands, as you get to design and build your own model rather than buying a ready-to-fly model such as the Phantom 3 or Parrot BeBop.
Typically there are several components involved in building a quadcopter from the ground up, and understanding the complexity your venture in advance will determine the types of materials you'll need. However, if you're just beginning to dabble in quadcopters, we would recommend starting with something simple, as putting together a quadcopter can be complicated if you're not sure what you're doing.
An all-inclusive quadcopter kit eliminates the guesswork and provides all the materials to assemble a functioning quadcopter. Rather than starting with a base support, these are a nice alternative for someone just starting out. Always keep in mind that just because you attach certain parts together doesn't guarantee your quadcopter is going to fly. Several varying factors come into play when designing a quadcopter, and most of them have to do with physics and the laws of gravity. Keeping this in mind, you don't need to be a science whiz or an engineer to build your own quadcopter kit, but you do need some basic knowledge of technology and a bit of practice. For instance, if you choose a heavy frame but not a motor or propellers that can accommodate the weight from the frame, you're going to end up with a quadcopter kit that doesn't leave the ground. Companies who provide all-inclusive quadcopter kits have already completed this legwork for you by testing the product prior to allowing it to be sold. Therefore, if you purchase a quadcopter kit that requires following simple instructions, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a machine that will fly.
Either path you take, whether it's an all-inclusive quadcopter kit or purchasing individual parts, it's recommended that you start off small and forego the advanced elements such as FPV (first person view) and camera capabilities, as these can be incorporated at a later time once you've developed a functional quadcopter from your quadcopter kit.
If you're determined to create your own quadcopter from individual parts purchased based on your research (like the advice from this article!), you should know some of the basic components that are required. Forgetting to purchase any of these parts will leave your hobby desires unfulfilled and your quadcopter dreams crushed.
1. Frame
First you'll need a frame for the quadcopter – this is the foundation all other parts will be somehow reliable on. Frames are available in different sizes and shapes, and they vary in weight. The weight and durability of the frame are very important to understand when choosing a frame for your quadcopter kit. A lighter frame allows you to incorporate other, heavier components without having to worry about introducing an overload of mass. Too heavy of a quadcopter and you won't make it off the ground.
You also want a frame that is durable and capable of withstanding unexpected crashes or impacts during the testing stages. It's possible to construct your own frame from a kit but it's not recommended for anyone that hasn't building quadcopter kits for years. One other important thing to remember is to make sure that your frame is equipped with landing gear or arms.
2. Motor
The second most important component is the motor; it's the engine and the power of the quadcopter – the battery just provides the juice. Your choice in a motor plays a pivotal role in the success of your copter. Researching the specifications of motors is essential for individual quadcopters, as you'll want to incorporate enough power to get the copter off the ground. Your motor also determines the speeds you can reach and provides the strength to support the frame and other attached parts. Motors are commonly categorized in a KV rating, which is a measurement for motor velocity more commonly known as revolutions per minute or RPM. The more RPM's you have to operate the propellers, the greater power and lifting capabilities it will have.
3. Propellers
Propellers vary greatly – especially their price range. They are the determining factor on how well your quadcopter will fly. Less expensive propellers can be manufactured with imprecise tendencies and tend to vibrate more. A little vibration is fine, but the more stable a propeller is in flight, the more control you'll have while flying in adverse or long-range conditions. Having stable propellers also assists when using your quadcopter kit for video or photo.
Keep in mind that the length of a propeller has a lot to do with the KV of the motor. The higher KV your motor has the smaller the propeller you'll need. Motors with less KV tend to fly better with longer propellers, as they provide additional stability. The pitch of your propellers determines the amount of thrust. A smaller pitch is easier to fly, but provides less of an exciting flight experience. The last measurement to take into consideration is the bore size. The bore is the hole located in the center of the propeller that is connected to the shaft of the motor. If you're not careful, you'll find that the bore doesn't match the motor shaft, and you'll have to purchase an adapter separately. Make sure to check this before buying any propellers.
4. Batteries
Not only do you need to have a battery attached to the quadcopter, you'll also require a battery for the remote control. There are three essential components to consider when choosing a battery.
- Number of Cells (S-rating) – Batteries in general consist one or more cells, 1S being a single cell, 2S being two cells, 3S being three, and so on and so forth. Each cell contains a number of volts. You can determine the amount of volts your batteries contain by using basic arithmetic. Simple multiply the volts by the number of cells. For examples, a battery that contains 3.7 volts and has 3 cells contains 11.1 volts.
- Capacity (mAh) – The capacity is the number one determinant of flight time. The higher the capacity, the more life storage the battery has. However, batteries with higher capacities tend to be heavier, so remember to consider this when calculating your overall payload.
- Discharge Rate (C-rating) – As a general note, the higher the C-rating the better. The discharge rate determines how fast the battery can be safely discharged; it also provides information to assist you in calculating the flight time in minutes with the maximum load. To accomplish this, you need to divide 60 (1 hour) by the C-rating; this will give you a fairly accurate estimate of flying minutes.
Remember, this time can vary due to the load capacity and is calculated based on a maximum load. To determine your maximum load capacity, you'll want to multiply the C-rating and the capacity (mAh). In addition, the C-rating will also assist you in determining your stunt capability or if you want to include other components such as a camera.
Some batteries come with connectors, and some do not. If the latter is the case, you'll have to solder these on yourself, which can prove to be troublesome for the average quadcopter kit enthusiast. To avoid having to attach connectors to the battery, we would suggest selecting ones that are pre-connected.
Along with batteries, you'll need a charger that is compatible with your battery. This is an area you want to splurge a little and ensure you buy something of quality. You want a charger that will outlast your battery and not the other way around. A good durable charger will serve you well and prevent your battery from dying faster than it should.
5. Remote Control Device or RC Transmitter
The RC transmitter is required for the pilot to operate and direct the quadcopter in the direction he/she decides. As with any other component involved in building a quadcopter, the remote control device needs to be well thought out before purchase. Remote controls are associated with channels and each channel operates a specific function. For instance, one channel will operate the throttle, one will control left and right direction, one will provide forward and backward thrust, and another will allow for rolling left or right. 4-channel remotes are the minimum, and anything above a 4-channel will increase your overall ability for customization during flight.
In addition, remotes also are available in (2) two modes, mode one and mode two. It's fairly simple, right? With mode 1 the elevator or lifting control is located on the left joystick and the throttle is located on the right joystick. Mode 2 is the complete opposite, in that the elevator is located on the right joystick and the throttle is located on the left. Mode 2 is also the most common of the modes as it also controls the axis direction of the quadcopter.
There are generally two frequencies available for transmission, 72 MHz and 2.4 GHz. The difference between them actually quite large. A 72 MHz transmission allows for greater range, but since it is such a common frequency, you can encounter a lot of interference. 2.4 GHz frequency is fairly new, and its range isn't spectacular. If you like to fly your quadcopter kit with others the 2.4 GHz frequency is ideal as it doesn't catch as much interference.
The items listed above are only the basic components involved in a quadcopter kit. There are countless additional items that you can incorporate into your quadcopter. If you plan on further customizing your quadcopter kit, make sure you have an adequate platform to work with – along with channels and the proper weight capabilities.
In closing, thoroughly research your options to educate yourself on the advantages and disadvantages of every part. Remember, size isn't everything when it comes to building your own quadcopter, and sometimes building a micro quadcopter can be just as rewarding as a larger, more complex model. Start slow and work your way up to a more advanced kit, that way you'll have the experience built up to tackle a more advance quadcopter kit with all the bells and whistles you've always wanted. Most of all, have fun with your kit, and make it your own.

Stuffed Turkey
Tacchino Ripieno - for non-Italians, that means turkey stuffed with chestnuts and prunes — is chef Mario Batali's favorite way to cook turkey because, he says, it never comes out dry. st.
- Ingredients
- step-by-step directions
Stuffed Turkey
- 1 whole turkey breast (boned/halved/butterflied by your butcher - 5 to 6 pounds total)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 pound pancetta cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 1/2 pounds ground pork shoulder
- 10 prunes (pitted and quartered)
- 12 chestnuts (roasted/peeled/halved)
- 2 cups fresh bread crumbs
- 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano (freshly grated)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
- Nutmeg (freshly grated)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon sage (chopped)
- 3 cups dry white wine
- Pound the butterflied breasts to flatten then season with salt and pepper and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat until smoking. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Add the pork and cook until it starts to brown in its own fat, about 25 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Drain all but 4 tablespoons of the fat from the pan and add the prunes and chestnuts. Continue cooking for 8 minutes until the prunes really start to soften. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, about 20 minutes.
- Add the bread crumbs, Parmigiano, eggs, pepper, nutmeg and herbs and just bring together, stirring with your hand. (Overmixing here can result in a lead torpedo for stuffing, so do not overdo it.) Place the two turkey pieces on a cutting board skin side down and divide the stuffing between them. Roll each of the breasts like a jelly roll and tie them firmly in several places with butcher's twine. Place the two rolls on a rack in a roasting pan, skin side up.
- Pour 2 cups of the wine over them, season with salt and pepper, and roast until dark golden brown outside, and a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees at the fattest part of the breast, about 1 hour, plus or minus 10 minutes.
- Remove and allow to rest 15 minutes before carving. Add the remaining cup of wine to the roasting pan and de-glaze, scraping with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Shake the pan to emulsify the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
- Carve the roast into 1/2 inch slices and drizzle with the pan sauce. Serve.

I need a monitor that's fairly good size, for a decent price (sub $1000). It will double as a monitor and a TV. So far I've seen two that have me very interested:
Dell 24" LCD Widescreen (12ms response time, $1000)
ViewSonic 27" LCD Widescreen (16ms response, $850)
I have read nothing but great reviews on the Dell, so I have no question that it's a great monitor. But when I try searching for anything on the ViewSonic I can't find much, I'm especially concerned with the 16ms response time and if it will be acceptable for gaming (PC FPS's, XBOX 360, etc). But I do like the fact that it's 3" larger and $150 cheaper. But if it's gonna be ghosting on me while playing fast-paced games, I'll take the smaller monitor.
Does anyone have any reccomendations or can anyone offer me any sort of guidance?

While the United States is emptying its Treasury into the 'War On Iraq', distracted, trapped and deeply troubled, China has been busily sewing up energy and trade deals with four nations set to become the biggest power players on the international stage in the next decade : Saudi Arabia, Iran, India and Pakistan. To say nothing of their quiet, slow infiltration of Africa and renewed 'friendship' with Russia.
Of course, it's easy to argue that China's military strategists well knew, as did many others around the world, that the United States would sink into an Iraq War quagmire once Saddam Hussein was deposed and the Iraqi Army and police forces were disbanded. Regardless of whether or not China knew what would become reality in Iraq, they were ready to make the massive world power plays now unfolding.
It's also decidely clear now that Russia and China will neither back major sanctions against Iran, nor support any military action by the United States to take out its nuclear energy facilities. At the same time, behind the scenes, Russia and China have made it well clear to the US and Israel that they will not tolerate any sabotage (in lieu of officially military strikes) on Iran, nor further moves to destabilise the country, the regime or the region.
US Vice President Dick Cheney went begging to Saudi Arabia a few days ago to help sort out the mess in Iraq, and President Bush and Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice are about to head to the Middle East to beg some more.
Meanwhile, China stands back and waits, holding more than a trillion US dollars in its reserves, prepared to take massive losses on its US debt holdings now the US is buying less and less Chinese products.
China has been rapidly expanding and creating new markets for its low-cost, high production products in India, Pakistan and soon enough Saudia Arabia and Iran as well.
The question now is what will the United States do to counter the continual, rapidly increasing rise of China to the top ranks of world powers?
When China can literally destroy the entire US economy in a matter of days, by utterly dumping its US debt holdings on the world markets at the first signs of true aggression, it seems the United States has no cards left to play. Outside of friendship and good relations. China insists on it, and not just for China, but for Iran as well.
From the International Herald Tribune :
And this from the Khaleej Times :
Iran and China have moved a step closer to signing an energy deal worth as much as $100 billion, with the Islamic republic saying it had invited China Petrochemical's managing director to Tehran to sign an accord first reached in 2004.
The contract for Sinopec Group, as China Petrochemical is known, to develop the Yadavaran oil field in Iran and secure oil and gas supplies over a 25-year period is complete and ready to be signed, Petroenergy Information Network, the Iranian oil ministry news agency, said Saturday.
Iran, under U.S. economic sanctions and at odds with the United States and the European Union over its nuclear activities, is seeking friendlier markets. China and Russia said in October that they would oppose a draft resolution imposing United Nations sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program.
China's insatiable demand for oil — and Saudi Arabia's position as the world's top exporter—have become the basis for a trade partnership that analysts say could upset (Saudi Arabia) Riyadh's decades-old oil-for-security relationship with Washington.
Saudi Arabia has become the key regional player as China quietly moves onto traditional US turf in the Middle East.
This new alignment has also seen China boosting ties with six booming Gulf Arab states, including oil producers Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
China National Offshore Oil Co. (CNOOC) is in talks with Qatar for liquefied natural gas supplies, PetroChina is studying plans with Kuwait to build a refinery and petrochemical complex in South China, and Aramco is negotiating refinery joint ventures in China.
China's economic thrust has coincided with a time when US prestige in the Arab world is at a low ebb due to the Iraq war and US support for Israel.
In addition, once-cosy US-Saudi ties have not fully recovered from the shock of the Sept. 11 attacks in which 15 of the 19 suicide hijackers were Saudis. This has hit the oil-for-security "special relationship" long based on the role of US military forces as guarantor of Saudi Arabia's safety, largely to protect huge Saudi oilfields.
Saudi Aramco was the largest supplier of oil to China for the last four years, in addition to being the biggest supplier to India, Japan, South Korea and Singapore.
China has even started discussions with Aramco to provide it with a strategic oil reserve, opening up the possibility of future tension over global access to Saudi crude oil.
Chietigj Bajpaee, research associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., said China risks being seen as trying to "lock up" Saudi oil at the expense of Washington, or India, another Asian tiger economy with a billion-plus population and a voracious appetite for oil.
"(China and the United States) have an increasingly symbiotic relationship," Bajpaee said. "This has led to fears in the United States that China is encroaching into its 'sphere of influence' and undermining relations with its traditional allies."
As China moves to solidify its power on the world economic stage, so too it arms itself to cope with any and all the military strengths of the United States. China is rapidly closing the gap with the United States in regards to military strength. And that's only what they're currently disclosing, or allowing American spies and intelligence agents to know. The true secrets of China's military strength, and future combat systems, are buried far below the earth, well out of sight of the United States' and Israel's spies and spy satellites.
From the Washington Times :
China's military buildup includes new missiles and naval weapons designed to sink U.S. aircraft carriers and deny U.S. forces access to the Asia-Pacific region, a congressional commission official said yesterday.
Daniel Blumenthal, a former Pentagon defense policy-maker and now a member of the U.S.-China Economic Security Review Commission, said China's military is building up forces to "deny the United States the use of the commons -- the sea, the air, cyber and space."
"The Chinese have been quite successful ... in the area of sea denial, meaning that if we sent a carrier to or outside the [Taiwan] Strait as we did in 1996, it would be a lot riskier and a lot costlier to the United States...."
The comments followed disclosure last week that a Chinese submarine sailed undetected to within five miles of the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk near Okinawa, Japan, and surfaced close enough to fire wake-homing torpedos or anti-ship cruise missiles, according to U.S. defense officials.
...Chinese weapons include 10 different types of ballistic and cruise missiles and up to 800 missiles aimed at Taiwan, five different types of submarines and 15 types of new warships.
Beijing's military also is experimenting with new attack concepts, including land-based attacks on ships "through multiple entry concepts" in what Mr. Blumenthal called "a very serious effort to try to basically sink a carrier or battle group."
The report revealed that China's new DF-21C ballistic missile is being configured with a guidance system that will allow it to attack ships at sea and defeat shipborne missile defenses.
The report stated that China's warships and submarines could delay the arrival of U.S. Navy forces called on to defend Taiwan....

Colorado voters back pursuit of campaign spending limits
November 7, 2012
Denver — Amendment 65, which would theoretically stop the influence of corporate spending in political campaigns, was projected to win by The Denver Post, netting more than two-thirds of the votes.
But the measure won't have legal standing anyway, even if it passes.
Amendment 65 was ahead 73 percent to 27 percent with 43 percent of precincts reporting.
"I think Colorado voters said loud and clear that they want their elected leaders to take action … ," said Elena Nunez, executive director of Colorado Common Cause. "The decisive vote margin demonstrates this is not a partisan issue."
The ballot measure instructs Colorado's congressional delegation to propose and support an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would reverse the 2010 Supreme Court Citizens United decision that held that corporations and unions could spend unlimited amounts on political campaigns.

Review Overview
- Sales Rank – 42.60
- Refund Rate – 50
- Link authority – 24.82
Don't want to read the whole review? Well you just have to read this summary where I provide 123 WysiWyg HTML Editor an overall score. My goal has been to use stats to produce a totally neutral review that can help to give a clear idea of whether or not you should get this product. I looked at the sales figures, the refund rate and the authority of the product's site to establish an overall idea of trustworthiness. It's a computer algorithm, yes, but it should be a great help nonetheless. So, the final score is 55.03/100 – pretty decent!.
It's time for another high-quality thecalculatr.com review. I make it my very own mission in life to guide consumers with their tough buying decisions. I make certain that each and every product I evaluate has a 60 day refund policy and I additionally review objectively by sticking to the stats. So settle-back, chill out, and prepare for the analysis! If you've already purchased and are asking yourself how to lay claim to your bonus, click this link. To determine how the site is funded you can just click here – my priority is my followers and I want everything to be clear. Done it? Good, now why don't we really get going.
Sales Stats
First, a confession. I tend to be impacted by the reputation of products. If I see everyone is buying something I have a tendency to go along for the ride. My reasoning? Well, if everyone wants it, it should be fantastic, right? Of course, that's not always true but product sales could be a great proof of quality. Luckily for you, I actually have some sales information for 123 WysiWyg HTML Editor. First, I have a little something called Gravity which comes directly from the payment processor. It provides us a rough proof of sales volume. 123 WysiWyg HTML Editor has a gravity of 0, which is pretty low and could mean a low quality product, something I'd hate to see you waste your money on. Now, this gravity figure may not mean much to you. Hence, dear readers, I've examined the gravities of every product on this website and produced a sales rank! A rank of 100 indicates it is the best selling product here … and all the way down to 1 with the worst seller. So what about 123 WysiWyg HTML Editor? Basically, it gets a sales rank of 42.60, which indicates it is certainly below average – I would suggest you see if any alternatives fare better.
Does it get many refunds?
Of course, I prefer to give my readers more than just sales stats. You want to know about a product's quality. Unfortunately, my time restrictions (and bank balance!) don't let me to try every product personally. So I use another stat – the refund rate.This stat comes straight from the payment processor, when it was available for a short time. 123 WysiWyg HTML Editor scores 3 /5 which is the average score and indicates we either don't have any refund data or the refund amount is at a satisfactory level – should be Okay to proceed here.
Do we know anything else?
So, what else can I say to you? Well, why don't we take a look at the domain that this product is bought from (market-soft.com)? There are a few stats available that will provide us witha better idea about how efficient the product is. For starters, we know the site has 35 pages – the theory is that the more pages it has, the older and more reputable it is. So, in this instance, 35 is not really that and could mean this site is new. But, of course, you couldn't just judge a website by the number of pages it has. They could all be junk! Instead, let's learn something from Google's book and have a look at the amount of other sites that are linking in to this one. Lots of links from quality sites means this one is bound to be quality too. So market-soft.com has 2 backlinks with an authority score of 24.82/100, which means it's got some links coming in, but it's still substandard (tread carefully).
Additional products – what else is this merchant selling?
We're approaching the end of this review now, but I still believe there's some more data to be found. I've hunted high and low and created a list of all the other products this supplier is selling, and also any specials they have on at the moment. Let's have a look… So, it seems 123 WysiWyg HTML Editor has no special product(s) on sale.
.img-right {float:right;margin-top:-50px;}
And what about any other products?
123 Wysiwyg HTML Editor – $47

The other day one of the Passionate Critters said she was having trouble getting motivated to get any writing work done. She knew what she wanted to write, knew she had some edits to do, but her heart wasn't in it. Other things were just more interesting. Six of us responded that we felt the exact same way, including me. It's not writer's block–which I don't really believe in, anyway–but it is a writer's meh, which totally exists.
I have two books in various stages of completion, and while I have a third out on submission I should be working on them. One is so close to being done it's practically taunting me. I was a bit stuck on where I was going with it, but last week I had a brainstorming session with a friend and I realized exactly what I needed to do. But I still haven't been able to keep my butt in the chair, and some days I can't even get it there at all.
It's very easy to blame writer's meh on lack of time or life stress–especially during tax season, which is particularly painful when one is self-employed–but that's really just an excuse. There's always time to write, even when life is being persnickety.
I think writer's meh stems from a need to check out for a while. To take stock of where you are as a person, writer, mom, wife, worker, whatever. To clear the brain of cobwebs, I suppose. (I'm thinking a lot about spiders today–I found FOUR in my house this morning. *shudder*) Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure how to get rid of it. The meh, I mean, not the spiders. I'm pretty clear on how to get rid of those.
Perhaps just a little time is the answer, although a writer friend suggested a meditation exercise that might help. In any case, I think I'm close to getting the cobwebs out, to getting the brain ready to get back to work, and to pushing the writer's meh away, at least until next time.
How about you? What do you call this weird period of non-productivity? How do you get through and out of it? All of us critters could use your suggestions. 🙂

NYPD cracks down on dirt bikes and ATVs
NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton condemned the use of illegal dirt bikes and ATVs, calling their drivers "nitwits" and "knuckleheads" at a news conference Tuesday.
Bratton announced a crackdown on their use, which he described as dangerous behavior.
He also called on residents to report neighbors who store and use them.
Along with the announcement, police used bulldozers to crush around 70 seized vehicles. They say they've seized hundreds more and made dozens of arrests.
Police say five people died last year using off-road vehicles on city streets.

Despite some turnover in the kitchen this past year, Blake Brokaw's flagship restaurant maintains degrees of both consistency and innovation in vegetarian fare. Staples like stuffed portabellas and the signature (and singularly good) mac-and-cheese mingle on the menu with fine, rotating specials. Even if you're not a vegetarian by nature, you'll be won over by the fun décor, great drink selections and solid dishes. The granddaddy of Wash. Ave. restaurants keeps the good stuff coming.

Experts say that no orthotic works for everyone, and the only way to know if a specific orthotic works is to try it.. A podiatrist reports that Walkfit orthotics may be effective in relieving ball-of-foot pain in some people, but are unlikely to relieve heel, back or big toe pain.
Walkfit orthotics have an extremely high, stiff arch support that may be uncomfortable for some people. They also elevate the toes well above the heel of the foot, which may lead to back pain in some people. They act by transferring most of the body's weight off the heel and toe area to the arch of the foot instead, which may relieve foot pain in some people. However, the arch of the foot is not intended to be weight-bearing. Walkfits are advertised as being able to correct posture and relieve foot pain.

Happy Halloween!
Can't believe it's Halloween already. That means Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner.
We took the kids to pick out some pumpkins at the pumpkin patch, and ended spending 10x more on rides and the jumpy house than we did on pumpkins : (
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!

Herschel Infrared › Where to use › Schools & Universities
Schools & Universities
Revolutionary heating for schools and universities
Herschel offer a unique range of energy efficient electric heating solutions for heating classrooms, halls and reception areas, lecture theatres and student accommodation.
For classrooms we offer ceiling mounted, zero light infrared panels. These can be integrated into ceiling grids or mounted directly to the ceiling. The heat produced radiates down to warm pupils and the classroom itself. They are efficient because energy is not wasted heating the air. Controls can be centralised or on an individual classroom basis. Because they are ceiling mounted there are no concerns over pupil safety or vandalism. They are simple to install, long life and maintenance free. This is a great alternative to convection based systems and can be combined with solar for truly renewable heating.
For lecture halls, reception areas, corridors and sports halls and changing rooms our space heating range provides a stylish and efficient solution either as supplementary heating or primary heating. Our solutions allow large areas to be heated without heating the entire volume of the building, or specific zones within an area, something which is not possible with convection based heating. This leads to better thermal comfort levels and lower energy consumption. Installation costs are relatively low and with zero maintenance typical paypack periods are short.
Recommended Heaters
|Herschel iQ WH1 Central Control Unit
Herschel iQ WH1 Whole House Control. Control up to 6 zones each with up to 6 R1 receivers. For effective zone heating controlled centrally.

Case Studies
"We successfully installed the Herschel Pulsar units at our site in Paddington. They look great and are working very well keeping the reception staff comfortable. They have proved great for our staff morale, are very safe and overcome the challenges on our site around air flow and stratification. A very elegant solution. Thanks for such a great product and the advice around the installation".
[Comparing Select XL to existing electric convector]
On the 'feel' of the heat:
"It felt like a warm summer's day, not like a heater, & was very comfortable". "Old heaters were more stuffy, this one felt a lot better". "I can feel the heat all over the room, & it feels like being surrounded by warm water rather than having a heater on".
On the levels of heat / temperatures:
"Really very good, very satisfied". "Works a lot better than the old heater & seems to hold the heat better".
On the speed of warming up:
"Heats very quickly, literally in matter of minutes. I can turn it on go & make a cup of tea, & the room will feel warm when I get back". "Very quickly, its hot in 5 minutes".
On changing anything:
"No. It looks so much better & takes up much less space than the old heater". "Not really, I prefer the new heater".
On heat loss:
"Not a problem". "The room seemed to stay warm for a long time"

Tony's Salad
Source: Recipe from Chef Bruce McMillian
All the necessary ingredients for a great salad come together here. A variety of fresh greens and some mixed fruits and vegetables are brought together with a flavorful vinaigrette. Apple crisps make a nice garnish.
1-2 heads radicchio, leaves removed to form "cups"
1 romaine heart, cleaned and torn into 1-in. pieces
2 small heads Boston or Bibb lettuce, cleaned and torn into 1-in. pieces
2⁄3 cup dried figs (approx. 8-10 figs), sliced
1 celery root, peeled and julienned
1 1⁄3 cups tomatoes, peeled and julienned
1 cup crumbled Roquefort
2⁄3 cup Orange Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
8-12 apple crisps (see note)
Orange Vinaigrette:
1 orange, juiced
1⁄3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄3 cup salad oil
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
Pinch of salt
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Note: To make the apple crisps, place thinly sliced apples on a nonstick baking surface and dust with powdered sugar. Bake at 225°F for about 1 hour, or until crisp.
1. Make vinaigrette: Whisk orange juice into olive oil, salad oil, and mustard. Add vinegar and season to taste; set aside.
2. To assemble the salad, place radicchio cups on each of four plates. In a large bowl, toss together the lettuces, figs, celery root, tomatoes, cheese, and just enough dressing to coat the greens. Divide salad among radicchio cups, drizzle with remaining dressing, and garnish with the apple crisps.

Topic: fader not working properly in Protools 8 on PC
All of a sudden my AT fader has stopped responding to volume up commands and it is also out of calibration. It is at 0 before i get a 1/3 of the way up. I've recalibrated over and over with the same results. My studio partner has an AT as well and his is working fine on my computer and in the same session. I'm hoping that I can get this taken care of by sending it in to you with an RMA number for service. Please advise.

Submitted by Arthur - N1ORC NASA HSF News Digest Thursday, April 25 2002 Volume 01 : Number 044 In this issue: 2002 International Space Station Status Report #20 All NASA HSF News Releases and Mission Status Reports are available online at <http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/spacenews/>. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 01:34:00 -0500 (CDT) From: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: 2002 International Space Station Status Report #20 2002 Report # 20 2 a.m. CDT, Thursday, April 25, 2002 Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas A Soyuz rocket blasted off today from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying a multinational "taxi" crew to the International Space Station to deliver a fresh return vehicle to the orbital outpost. Russian Commander Yuri Gidzenko, Flight Engineer Roberto Vittori of the European Space Agency and South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth rocketed away from the Central Asian launch site at 1:26:38 a.m. Central time (626:38 GMT) in their Soyuz TM-34 craft. Less than nine minutes later, with the Soyuz solar arrays and navigational antennas successfully deployed, they had reached orbit to begin a two-day chase to reach the ISS early Saturday. At the time of launch, the ISS was flying over Iraq at an altitude of 244 statute miles. The Expedition Four crew on board the station had just awakened at the time the Soyuz began its journey. Gidzenko, who is making his third flight into space, is the first former resident of the ISS to return to the complex, having been a member of the Expedition One crew, the first crew to live aboard the station. Gidzenko first arrived at the ISS in November 2000. Vittori, who is a professional astronaut, is making his first spaceflight, traveling to the ISS under a contract between the Italian Space Agency and the Russian Aviation and Space Agency. Shuttleworth is a South African Internet entrepreneur flying under contract with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency as well on his first mission. The three crewmembers will dock to the Zarya module of the ISS on Saturday at 2:57 a.m. Central time (757 GMT). That docking port was freed up last Saturday when Expedition Four Commander Yury Onufrienko and Flight Engineers Carl Walz and Dan Bursch relocated the Soyuz vehicle currently at the ISS from Zarya to the Pirs Docking Compartment. Gidzenko, Vittori and Shuttleworth will spend almost eight days on the station, conducting experiments and educational activities. They will depart the ISS on the evening of May 4, U.S. time, in the Soyuz currently docked to the station, and will land a few hours later on the Kazakh steppes. All systems aboard the ISS continue to function well as the station orbits at an average altitude of about 245 statute miles. Information on the crew's activities aboard the space station, future launch dates, as well as station sighting opportunities from anywhere on the Earth, is available on the Internet at: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov Details on station science operations can be found on an Internet site administered by the Payload Operations Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., at: http://www.scipoc.msfc.nasa.gov The next ISS status report will be issued on Saturday, April 27 after the Soyuz docking, or earlier, if developments warrant.

Irish Attorney General Patrick Connolly was scheduled to cut short a US vacation and fly into a political storm here over the arrest of a murder suspect at his Dublin apartment.
Newspapers and politicians demanded an explanation of why the suspect, Malcolm MacArthur, charged with two killings Saturday, gave Mr. Connolly's penthouse apartment in a wealthy Dublin seaside suburb as his home address. Prime Minister Charles Haughey summoned Mr. Connolly home to discuss the situation. A government statement said Connolly had not been asked to resign, nor had he offered to quit his post.
