Customer Reviews
We at SIG are very excited offer the SIG FOUR-STAR 40 ARF, and it is back with a NEW NAME and some significant upgrades.
The original
is now called the 4-STAR 54 EG ARF. The "54" in the names denotes the wingspan of the airplane. They are shorter! Clipping the wing has been a favorite modification that Four-Star pilots have been doing themselves, cutting-off the last rib bay at the tip of each wing panel. The clipped wing improves the roll rate and overall maneuverability, with no loss of the legendary Four-Star stability and slow flight characteristics. And, it still lands like a trainer!
The "EG" in the name means the airplane is designed to accommodate either Electric or Glow Power. Fly with a 2-stroke glow engine, a 4-stroke glow engine, or a brushless outrunner electric motor and lipo battery. It's your choice!
All the control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, and rudder) have been enlarged for better control response at slow speeds. The new 4-STAR canopy has been streamlined for a sleeker, more aggressive appearance. This is another change that many Four-Star pilots have been doing themselves - replacing the original "high bubble" canopy with a lower one. However, if you still prefer the traditional bubble-shaped Four-Star 40 canopy, you can still get that as an option. They both still fit. Available in Red or Yellow.
Other upgrades include a molded fiberglass cowling and a removable hatch on top of the fuselage for quick access to the battery/tank compartment. Also, the top of the fuselage between the canopy and the fin (the turtle deck) is now fully sheeted with balsa for smoother appearance and greater strength.
We are very excited about the changes being made to the 4-STARs, and we hope you are too. There are only limited quantities available in 2013. Order your 4-STAR ARF today to ensure you are flying newest ARF version of America's favorite "second plane!"

Good Overall RC Plane
Good plane except the fuel tank. Normally with ARFs I throw the tank away and install a Dubro or Sullivan tank. Even though the tank looked "iffy" I decided to give it a try. After the 4th flight I saw fuel dripping out of the bottom. The tank was leaking and the inside was wet. I dried it an sealed it best as possible and installed a Sullivan 8oz tank. It fits well but had to open the hole in the firewall at the top a little. I have had many Sig planes and now also have a Somethin Extra that I built from a kit and love. The 4 Star 54 is a fun sport plane. I have an OS 52 SF and plenty of power unless you want to hover it. You can't go wrong with Sig, just throw the tank away.

Fantastic all the way around. SIG's customer service is 2nd to none. The plane is a dream to fly..it loves to float on landings..I chose an older OS 50 Max for power. ARF quality is excellent. Super fast shipping. The airframe platform is tried and true..based on the original 4star forty. I may someday buy the 120 size for a gas engine. I'm sure it will be just a good as the smaller versions. The only thing I changed was the hinges (I'm old school) I replaced the kit one with Dubro regular hinges and pinned them in, as well as I always seal the gaps on the control surfaces. I believe that is adds better control to the surfaces. I would highly recommend this plane to anyone who has mastered a trainer. Excellent choice for a 2nd plane.

This is my second 4-Star 54. I wrecked the first one flying inverted close to the ground. I learned to fly models with a SIG Kadet. The 4-Star ARF is an easy build and a great flying plane. It is an excellent second plane because it handles so well. It performs slow flight nicely and is a good aerobatic plane. This is my favorite plane.

I bought one of these arf planes, It flew better than I expected but I will not purchase another. I put a OS.46AX engine in the plane. I flew the plane off a grass field. I was disappointed with the Quality of the balsa. On my one and only dead stick landing the plane came down in deep grass(6"). The plane flipped onto its back and broke its back. I believe that the kit model would have survived such a landing. The balsa on the ARF 54 was so thin and brittle I was not able to repair the plane fuse. I will continue to buy SIG products but no more ARF planes

Good Points, Bad Points
This is a very complete kit, right down to the fuel tank and engine mounts for nitro application. Sig needs to leave the decals off for application after using the iron as the need for extensive wrinkle removal is made impossible over the decals. They don't like the iron. Yes, there were many wrinkles but they came out as long as they weren't under the decals. I was impressed by the exact fitting canopy, it was perfect. The wheel pants were also nicely finished.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 4-Star 54. It fell victim to elevator/horizontal stab flutter. It did have a .55 on it, so it was overpowered. I feel the horizontal stab on these planes really needs to be sturdier. I have not ruled out replacing it with another 4-Star. But if I do, I will replace the horizontal and vertical stab with my own scratch built ones.

great flight
This is my third plane and so far my favorite. This is my first arf, but I marveled at the craftsmanship of the all wood construction and the beautiful monokote job. I pulled some of the stickers off, per my taste, but other than that its gorgeous. It flies very well also. It feels well balanced. It has great slow flight characteristics so you can really walk it in for landing. Your first time it may float down the runway a bit, but you just simply learn to manage that next go around. You can do some aggressive acrobatics with it, and you can also simply carve beautiful lines. Flies great even with a gopro suck on it

My instructor and and other experienced flyers have flown it five times and are highly impressed by its stability and looks. They tell me that this will be a great transition plane for me to fly. I am highly pleased with the way it looks and how easy it was to assemble. Thanks for a great model!! Don

The Four Star is the first plane i have purchased from SIG. Very impressed with the packaging and the instructions that came with the airplane. I am in the assembly process and continue to be impressed with the quality of all the components and the fit up of the various pieces on the airplane. I am confident that this will become one of my favorite airplanes to fly. I would like to see SIG do a military aircraft such as the Thunderbolt. Great job on the Four Star.

Great ARF
I bought this ARF to replace an older 4 Star that I bought used. The older plane used stick construction on the turtleback and was easily cracked. The ARF turtleback uses sheet construction. The new ARF is better built and stronger. The parts fit with no modification. The covering had some wrinkles but was no worse then another ARF from a different company that I had built. The wing is attached in front by tabs on each wing half leading edge. The tab on the left wing half arrived cracked in shipment but was easily repaired. I have not maidened the ARF yet but if it flys like the older model it should be a fun and reliable plane.

I am very happy with the new 4 star 54. It arrived well boxed and all pieces were counted, every thing was there. The plane went together very nicely. The covering required lots of ironing to get the wrinkle out, but everything fit perfectly. I can't wait to get in the air.

Municipal Emergency Management Plan
Like all municipalities in Victoria, Moreland has its own Municipal Emergency Management Plan for handling natural disasters and emergencies.
About the plan
This plan, coordinated through the Victoria Police by a Municipal Emergency Response Coordinator, sets out the procedures to be followed when Council and community resources are required in the case of an emergency.
Moreland is generally a low risk area, however storm, flood damage, major transport emergency, or chemical spillage may need an appropriate and quick response.
Under the Municipal Emergency Management Plan, many services can be called in to help including:
- ambulance and fire services
- local Council
- service authorities
- Victorian Department of Human Services
- other state and federal government departments, and
- the media.
These organisations each have a role to play, depending on the nature of the emergency and the need at the time.

This update also allows multimedia/ffmpegthumbnailer to build against ffmpeg
3.0.x. The ports tree currently still has multimedia/ffmepg at version 2.8.6,
however this update is backwards compatible with ffmpeg 2.8.6. The update of
multimedia/ffmpeg to 3.0.x branch is waiting for ports which depend on it to
successfully build with the newer version of ffmpeg.

Employers and Organizations
Helping to Address Your Business Needs
Mon Valley Initiative's Workforce & Business Development team works with you, as a regional employer, to help you address your human resource needs, from pre-screening, to assessments, to retention services.
Because job seekers join our program on a voluntary basis, the individuals we work with are very motivated and interested in obtaining employment. We provide significant professional development assistance to those individuals to prepare them for success in the workforce.
We have several resources immediately available for employers & organizations, regarding employing the job seekers in our program.
What We Offer:
1 A pipeline of job seekers who are motivated and eager to work
2 Valuable information on targeted hiring incentives for employers
3 Pre-screening services of potential employees, including assessments, informal criminal background reviews, and qualifying experience reviews
4 On-site recruitment and interviewing opportunities at our location in Homestead
5 Ongoing support to individuals hired through our program, with the goal of promoting job retention
Our program offers a number of opportunities for employers & organizations to partner with us. Interested employers can contact MVI's Job Developer and Workforce Development Specialist & Financial Coach. Possible partnership opportunities include:
On-Site Recruitment: We regularly invite employers to present to our job seekers at our twice-weekly Job Clubs. At these presentations, employers will have the opportunity to share information about their companies, their requirements for employment, and their application process.
On-Site Interviews: We welcome you to visit MVI at our location in Homestead to host on-site interviews of our candidates. The interviews can be done as a group, or individually, according to your preference.
Mock Interviews: Mock interviews help job seekers improve their interviewing skills, contributing to their success in finding employment. This is a great opportunity for employers to shape the workforce and to potentially pre-screen candidates for open positions.
Job Fairs: Our Team holds several small, industry-specific job fairs per year in order to help employers like you find suitable job candidates. These job fairs are also promoted outside of our job seeker base in order to bring in more candidates.
Job Postings: Many employers routinely share job postings with us so that we can share them with our job seekers. We contact employers when our job seekers apply and assist both the job seeker and employer, as needed, through the candidate review/interview process.
The Workforce Development Advisory Committee: This committee helps shape the programming we offer to our job seekers and provides valuable insights into your HR process and needs. It also identifies public policy advocacy issues relevant to your business. Meetings are held quarterly.

Description: This paring knife is a perfect choice for detail tasks - from taking the eyes out of potatoes to removing stems from tomatoes. The short, thin blade combines control and precision.
Mutsumi Hinoura, is widely considered to be amongst Japan�s elite group of highly revered bladesmiths. He lives in Sanjo, in the Niigata region and is the son of renowned bladesmith Tsukasa Hinoura. This area is renowned for its handmade cutlery experts and is the home of makers such as Yoshikane, Shigefusa, Iwasaki, and more. Mutsumi studied industrial engineering at Niigata College of Technology and graduated in 2001, when he began working as a full time bladesmith. Like his father, he is very active in promoting the art of bladesmithing within the Niigata region. Mutsumi has become famous for his craftsmanship and ability to forge knives with excellent balance, sharpness and a stark beauty that speaks to Japan�s feudal past.
Each knife is individually hand-forged beginning with an aogami super carbon steel core (hagane). The smaller crystalline size of this carbon steel results in superior edge holding when compared to nearly any other steel. Many knifemakers and users feel that aogami super is among the best carbon steels used on kitchen knives today. Additionally, aogami super is less reactive than many carbon steels such as shirogami. A dark kurouchi finish from the last phase of heat treatment adds a limited degree of rust resistance. This time consuming process creates a knife with outstanding edge holding and beauty. Particular attention should be paid when washing Kurouchi finished blades as a scouring pad can potentially wear off the black finish.The blades are hand forged to shape with a tremendous distal taper - beginning with a thick spine where the blade travels out of the handle and quickly moving into a thin, high performance spine as it moves toward the tip. This ensures optimal balance, strength and control. The spine has been nicely rounded for comfort. Convex ground sides assist food to release from the knife while slicing. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust.
The "Wa" style handle is called 'shinogi'. A ridge travels along the right side of the handle. While designed for right-handed use, most lefties find this handle style equally comfortable. Natural macassar ebony is combined with pakkawood for a handle that will last a lifetime. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.

Yes, one's habits and morality are linked to social functions as one learns his/her habits and morality from those around him/her. To suggest that one's habits and morality are ingrained from birth into him/her is a bit silly as babies born in different parts of the world learn different habits and moralities.
All habits (assuming we have them) are determined by the environment in which we are raised and those whom raise us. Therefore the habits we develop influence how we conduct ourselves as individuals. Thou even as individuals we are part of a larger community and that community moderates and molds our views on what is "moral", which conduct is considered "good" which in turn ultimately enforces which habits survive to progress on to the next generation and which get left in the past.

Below the thunders of the upper deep, far, far beneath in the abysmal sea, the Kraken sleepth, wrote Tennyson, proving the beardy twerp a liar who should have stuck to penning moralistic tripe about Arthurian maidens in the hopes of getting a hand up Queen Victoria's petticoats. Kraken, sea monster, leviathan, whatever you call it, I am here to tell you that the giant squid is this: rubbish.
There are two squid residing in Melbourne at present, one at the museum and another at the aquarium – which, incidentally, has sparked off some fairly vituperative competition between the two institutions (ain't nothin' like a nerd fight). But although the two exhibits may vary in presentation ('Monsters of the Deep' exploit-o-rama vs. educational diorama; frozen in ice vs. floating in alcohol) both squid retain one important feature in common, this being that they are shit.
I grew up on tales and B-grade movies about vast aquatic monstrosities a'wrassling with submarines; about sailors cowering on the decks of their comparatively tiny ships for fear of the be-tentacled hell-beast looming over them, wondering if they would ever see shore, mother, and a good solid buggering down by the docks ever again. These robust boyhood fantasies have been ruined by the reality of what I saw in the museum last week. It turns out that 'giant' is a misnomer that might be best replaced with 'sort of big, I suppose'. The squid are actually about five feet long, in the body at least, and instead of being able to take down entire ships could probably do no worse than give you a nasty nip. Sure, the tentacles grow to about 15 or 20 feet (What do I look like, a frikkin' marine biologist? If you want an exact length, go and find an encyclopaedia), but these had rotted down to stubs. You can see more horrific things in the meat cabinet at your local butchers, provided your butcher, like mine, has a healthy attitude about what is and isn't edible.
In order to distract from how dull the actual creature is, there is a giant TV screen above the not-so-giant squid, which plays a fairly interesting record of how the carcass was prepared for display. Now, the squid's beak had already deliquesced, and it's remaining mouth looks, well…distinctly vaginal. Repeatedly on the video scientists shoved their hands inside the beast's slimey maw. And here is a small but significant tip for if you should decide to visit the museum: when surrounded by dozens of small children, and upon meeting one of your girlfriend's best friends for the first time, who works at the museum and who has let you in for free, and who is giving you a tour, it is vitally important not to let your otherwise Wildean wit fall by the wayside for a spilt second while watching this video, and announce in a loud voice to all and sundry, "Wow, it's ages since I've seen a good squid fisting".
Deep apologies to all those parents whose children got more of an education than they bargained for.

Thanks. That kind of squiddy bah humbug is what I need to make me feel okay about not living in melbourne and not getting to see the squid (plural).
Have you seen the octopus fighting a shark?

Surely the aquarium could save a fortune by exhibiting all their sealife frozen in blocks of ice.

About Me
- Name: Robert A. Pauly
- Location: Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
I was born and grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have loved art from a very young age. I guess I always knew I was going to be an artist. I find painting as an ongoing challenge. Everyone is new and exciting and a chance to stretch ones limits. Starting a painting can be very intimidating but once you're moving forward and seeing things develop the sky is the limit. I live in a household with my wife and 2 daughters along with 2 dogs, 3 cats, 1 bird and 2 turtles.Never a dull moment. Life is good and when its not good I try to make the most of it. Its a lot easier to paint when things are good. Blessings for a New Year, Bob

This is a fresh interpretation of classic California winemaking--farmed here on the estate in rich Huichica loam, composed over time by volcanic, rhyolitic ash from the nearby Mayacamas range. After a series of trials and experiments in our early years, we eventually decided to age all of our Chardonnay in Sonoma-made concrete tanks, allowed to rest on its heavy lees as long as possible without any oak barrel contact. It all adds up to a powerful, mineral white wine, full of earth tones that expresses our distinctive geological history.
2015 meteorological data: A dry, warm winter encourages an early start to the season, with bud break in mid-February. The rainy spring that followed reduced the yields to small, concentrated berries but August head spikes prompted our earliest harvest yet.
Soil type: Huichica loam, volcanic tuff
22.5 °Bx | pH 3.37
Bottled on March 2, 2015 | 12.5% alc.

Restaurant Imposes 1% Property Maintenance Fee On Tabs, Hopes No One Notices
When you go out to eat, you generally pay the price on the menu, then a tip for the service staff. Should you also have to pay an extra fee for the maintenance of the building and grounds of the restaurant? One Florida restaurant thought so…at least, until the "personal usage fee" caught the attention of a local TV channel. Then the fee suddenly disappeared.
According to WESH, the fee appeared on customers' tabs as "Ravaudage PUF." The restaurant is part of a mixed-use development called Ravaudage. It wasn't the fee itself that was the problem: it's perfectly legal, as long as the property doesn't pretend that it's a tax. The problem was that it wasn't disclosed on the menus or on any signs on the restaurant's walls. The majority of diners stopped outside of the restaurant after their meals didn't even notice the fee.
"I'll have to take that off the tip next time," one woman told the WESH reporter. Fighting words in the restaurant business.
Miller's Ale House drops usage fee to patrons (Thanks, Joe!)

The first problem I have is that the program (Internet Explorer) just shuts down sometimes when I'm online... unexpectedly, just like that.
The second problem I have is that after using the computer and coming back to it after a while... when I click on any icon to use a program, the little hourglass appears for a couple seconds then goes away and nothing happens. I can't get any program to open, nothing! It won't even let me shut down using the icons. I must shut the computer off with the switch and turn it back on. Then everything is fine for the first few uses then it does it all over again. I've tried deleteing updates, I've tried not letting it go into save power mode, I've tried a lot of the scan programs on this site. Nothing!!
I'm hoping someone can help me cuz this is annoying. Thanks for any help.

North Carolina's Sinners & Saints released their second full-length album, On The Other Side, on March 10th. Although Sinners & Saints consists of two members, Perry Fowler and Mark Baran, whose harmonies are front and center, don't think of them as an acoustic duo. With Baran on the upright bass, Fowler adding color with the harmonica, and each of them powering a drum by foot, they've got the energy and full sound of a band.
On the Other Side delivers ten songs with addictive melodies and simple, infectious beats. You might find yourself involuntarily nodding along before noticing the sometimes sorrowful lyrics. Or maybe you don't notice them at all, and that's okay too. Listening to this record is like walking into a slightly seedy dive bar in an unfamiliar town and meeting your new best friends.
Of all the songs on the album, "Music Man" might serve as the best introduction to the band. A rolling, playful tune, aided by frequent collaborator Geoff White on fiddle and banjo, it describes the life of a touring musician, from the highs of getting the audience singing along and dancing, to the lows of budget travel–and sometimes not even getting paid.
The band's primary songwriter, Perry Fowler, sings about the balance between the fun side of playing music and the tough side of trying to earn a living at it. Without sugarcoating the difficulties of being a working musician, Fowler hones in on what it's all about for him—sharing a moment of connection with the audience. "Gotta make 'em sing, gotta make 'em feel. Gotta have some faith to make it real."
"In my mind," Fowler says, "I'm writing this song to someone who's trying to be a songwriter, or thinking about getting into the music business. It's not fairy tales and daydreams and butterflies. It's sleeping on floors, putting up with some weird shit. Being broke and all that stuff that goes with it. "
"Whiskey Drinking" is another song that captures the ambience of the band's usual venues, complete with background banter and clinking glasses.
"We thought that since most of the time we're playing in clanky bars that it would be fitting for a song titled 'Whiskey Drinking' to have that same noise and chatter. We pretty much just did a couple of takes of me and Mark and our friend Jeremy reading out of books and banging glasses around."
It's a feel-good song, in the most southern of senses. It shifts unselfconsciously from talking about the lord to talking about drinking, sort of like a drunken tent revival, the gospel of good times.
"Nobody Left to Believe" gives voice to the little guy being taken advantage of by the powerful, and yearning to fight back: "Don't give 'em an inch. No, take what you can. They can't take us all if we rise up."
Fowler says, "I wrote that song before Trump threw his hat in the ring as a candidate for presidency. Things have definitely not gotten better."
In "Old Bones," Fowler offers up a twist on the typical "boy meets girl, boy loses girl" story song. In this version (spoiler alert) boy meets girl, boy and girl get a dog, girl leaves boy, girl misses dog, girl comes back. Each verse ends with the lyrics "he'd (or we'd) howl at the moon" and each chorus ends with "I don't ever get any sleep at night," but the connotations of the howling and not sleeping cleverly change with each verse.
Fowler gives Geoff White credit for bringing an unexpected interpretation to "Old Bones," as well as to "Promise Land."
"When we got Geoff White in the studio with us to play fiddle we were like, holy shit, that's a totally different song! His fiddle parts in those songs give them a Cajun vibe."
Mark Baran's dog, Bump, gets the last word in, though, with an extended howling solo at the end.
The final song, "Ready to Go," is the only song listed on the album written by Mark Baran. It stands out for its easygoing waltzing tempo and the warm trombone solos, but also for what happens after it ends.
Wait a few seconds and you'll hear a hidden track, a beautiful finger-picked guitar instrumental, written and played by Baran. It's as if the bar has finally closed, the patrons have stumbled out and the tables have been wiped down. The room is empty and the sound has been turned off. The guitarist plays the untitled song for himself, and maybe for the good friends who stick around after the party ends.

That's Happy Chinese New Year in mandarin. Yup, it's not always about oranges only.
This time, it was a pretty short cny break. Not that I'm complaining but maybe another night's stay would be a bonus.
I aimed at taking as many pictures as possibly so that this would be the most visually documented chinese new year for me. I tried. The thing is, you can't really take lots of pictures when you're in charge of driving the whole way back. I like driving. So just try picturing a boot full of luggage, new year cookies (baked by my sis – awesome), boxes of dialysis solution (dad's) and shoes. Traffic was bumper to bumper and we had to get into the coastal road halfway, which was really cool cause it's definitely more scenic than the PLUS highway.
First stop: Bak Kut Teh Lunch with Old Friends
Next Stop: Sitiawan
Again, I was driving. So my sis was the one happily snapping pics away. The journey was scenic – rice padi fields, kampungs and a clear view of the horizon. I remembered that an uncle of mine brought me to one of these padi fields for eel fishing. An experience it was.
45 minutes later, we hit Swiss Garden Damai Laut. Nice resort. Probably the best choice in Sitiawan town. Here's the view from the room.
The next 3 days were just filled reunions, good food, red packets, firecrackers, warm conversations and late supper laughs at grandpa's house.
I guess with all the comfort of city life, you really miss how simple life can be. Everything's around the corner – kedai runcit, kedai ubat, kedai kopi; everyone knows one another and I mean EVERYONE; joyous occasions are celebrated and tough times are faced as a "family". Most of all, I'll miss
– hearing rubber seeds landing on roof after being "launched" from the tree
– being woken up by the chickens at 5am
– walking opposite for a plate of kanpua noodles for only RM1.50
– sitting at the side of the house and just looking at the many faces waiting at the only bus stop of the village to town
– having to hold my nose everytime i passed by the rubber sheet processing house 5 doors away
– playing firecrackers (awesome)
– riding motorcycle around the kampung without helmet or license (sssshhhhh!)
And most of all, this chinese new year, I miss my grandma. I missed having her call me to the dining table for my mee suah (she still makes the best ones), hearing her sing as she laze in the living room during the afternoon, seeing her put weird white powder on her face and of course, I miss talking to her.
May the coming chinese new years help us remember the simple joys of life, fragility of lives and the Friend that holds it all together.

A Delicious and Awesomely Easy Meal to Make for Guests!
This past Saturday, when I was in Minneapolis, I visited my uncle and his girlfriend. They had invited my boyfriend and myself over for dinner to catch up. While we were there, we were served one of the best (and easiest to make) dinners I have had in a LONG time. From that moment on, I decided that this is the meal I would make whenever I have guests over. It's quick, it's yummy, and it's so easy that even I can make it! Read what it is after the jump!
We started off with some wine and appetizers. There were some crackers laid out, along with two of my favorite spreads, hummus and chicken liver pate. The great part about making these two tasty spreads is that you can make them in advance and store them in the fridge, which keeps you from having to juggle ten things at once when the guests arrive. Try these easy recipes for hummus and pate:
Chicken Liver Pate
In addition to the crackers and spread, there was a big plate of shrimp and cocktail sauce laid out. This is another great make-ahead appetizer to try! Here's the cocktail sauce recipe I plan to use in the future:
Cocktail Sauce
After we snacked on some appetizers, it was time for the. main course We had some grilled chicken breasts, one of the easiest dishes to make. This isn't the exact recipe they used, but it's a great one:
Honey Grilled Chicken Breasts
We also had a salad with mixed greens, shredded carrots, tomatoes, avocadoes, and feta cheese. It was very simply tossed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then some salt and pepper were cracked over the top for additional flavor. It was divine. Here's another great salad recipe to try:
Tomato, Cucumber, and Feta Salad
We also had some simple garlic baked potatoeson the side. These were cut into thin slices, but not all the way through the potato, creating an accordion-like potato. These were brushed with butter, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and had thin pieces of garlic between each slice of potato. Soooo good. The best part is that they didn't even need anything else on them! Here's another tasty baked potato recipe for you to try:
Cheddar Baked Potatoes
Finally, we had tiramisu for dessert. This is yet another perfect make-ahead dessert you can make the night before to save time. And you don't even have to turn on the oven to make it!
Tiramisu in a Cup
The dinner was definitely memorable- I always enjoy meals that taste great and are simple to make. This will surely become my go-to meal for guests from now on!

Liverpool Football Club may not win the Premier League title this season, but to many soccer fans worldwide the brand of football displayed by Brendan Rodgers' Reds this season has been refreshing and, at times, wonderfully exhilarating. They have played the game in a manner the game ought to be played. It was exciting, attacking soccer that has provided massive entertainment for those of us who love this most beautiful of games.
Rodgers and his team will no doubt be dragged over the coals for their approach to the Crystal Palace game, with many critics saying that they should have been more tactically aware and hearing the term "manage the game" being bandied about quite a lot. To all this, I say rubbish. Teams ought to play to their strengths and Liverpool's strength is in their attack — plain and simple. Defensively, Liverpool is poor. Their center-back combinations cannot be qualified as the highest quality. Glen Johnson has once and for all proven to even the uninitiated that he cannot defend at all. If Hodgson was watching at Selhurst Park, let's hope he took note for England's sake.
Merely winning the game was simply not enough against Palace. Liverpool needed goals if they were going to give themselves a chance at the title. The fact that they were not content to close up shop at 3-0 is a testament to Rodgers and his team. Liverpool fans, though disappointed, should be extremely proud of how their manager and his team have approached this season especially in an era where it has become the norm for so-called "big teams" to park the proverbial bus and try to grind out one nil results — which ultimately results in dour insipid games that not even the match officials should have to suffer through.
Arsenal and Manchester United won Premier League titles with wonderfully gifted teams playing absolutely breathtaking football. So did Chelsea in their 2009-2010 title-winning season when they netted a whooping 103 goals. That's the type of soccer fans pay good money to see. We even remember the teams such as Newcastle United in the mid 90s and Leeds United at the turn of the century that won no titles but entertained in a memorable way, playing the game the way it ought to be played.
When Liverpool face Newcastle on Sunday, they should play with the same verve and panache that have won them so many new fans this season. They may not win the title but they have won the appreciation of true soccer lovers across the globe. And we look forward to watching more of the same next season.

This post has not been edited by the GamesBeat staff. Opinions by GamesBeat community writers do not necessarily reflect those of the staff.
Recently, Sony prematurely pulled the online support plug on all three Resistance games. In doing so it became apparent the series never quite reached the popularity their creators intended them to, but the guys at Insomniac Games did manage to achieve something special. A look back at the evolution of Resistance looks like a cross-section of all of last generation of first person shooters.
Resistance: Fall of Man saw the light of the day in November 2006 as a PlayStation 3 launch title. Everybody marveled at its supposed visual and gameplay fidelity, and not having to wait for a quality game for a new console: four million copies were sold. Booting up Fall of Man today it's hard to believe all that, because the game looks and plays like a PS2 title on steroids. The character of Ted Price's game is more in line with Quake than Call of Duty – which may seem weird given the post-World War 2 setting – but that was the time when Modern Warfare was still yet to be released.
Ye olde school
Before Insomniac dove into the world of regenerating health, bombastic scripted events and aiming down sights, it searched for an inspiration amidst the works of id Software. Therefore the protagonist Nathan Hale is silent, carries around a whole arsenal of weapons and replenishes lost health with good old medpacks. At one point he even goes through a mutation, just like the "stroggification" in Quake IV (which in Resistance's world means amplified strength and a self-regenerating body).
The weapons at a player's disposal feature more ammunition than in your everyday FPS (a regular carbine is fed with 50 rounds instead of 30) and the enemies are bullet sponges. The weapons sights are unusable, so you don't have to bother with precise aiming and the movement speed is high, thus you can easily engage your strafe'n'circle routine. To strengthen the old school feeling, there are rare checkpoints, ascetic cut-scenes and 12 hours is needed to complete the campaign. Even the level design brings back the old times, although backtracking is mercifully spared.
The second installment of Resistance shocked the fans of the original. It's really hard to find another franchise that changed so much over the course of mere two years. The ammo clips suddenly lost rounds, the grenade pouch became smaller, the enemies bit the dust after just a few hits. And the protagonist spoke! The list of surprises for the Chimeran war veterans goes on. If a player is hit, the screen gets engulfed in a familiar red tint, telling him to get behind cover to regenerate health. Aiming down the sights is now possible, although not quite, as the game displays both iron sights and a painted crosshair. Finally Nathan Hale himself, during those few years that separated the two games, must have put on some pounds, as his movement speed is significantly diminished (despite carrying only two guns). To compensate for this, a sprint ability was added.
Although some of the changes may not seem like a step forward, in general Resistance 2 was better designed. There were more checkpoints, difficulty spikes were less frequent, level design got better and the plot became more interesting thanks to a brand new antagonist and fully fledged animated cut-scenes in place of the original game's slide shows. It's worth noting that completion time shrank to about 10 hours, which obviously isn't necessarily a good thing.
Despite being vastly better than the first installment, a lot of Fall of Man fans found Resistance 2 disappointing. Thus, when creating part three, Insomniac decided to consider the cries of their fans and fused together the best of each of the previous' games. The compromises made are greatly exemplified in the ammo count of the .303 Storm Rifle, now set at 36 (previously respectably 50 and 30). No more limiting arsenal to two pieces plus each and every gun has working iron sights and unlockable parts. The player character gained a brand new climbing ability and amped up movement speed, which comes in useful in the more spacious levels. There was also a symbolic change – Nathan Hale wasn't around to be a protagonist, so Insomniac could get rid of the regenerative health
The plotline in Resistance 3 was, in keeping with the latest trend, more personal. The time needed to complete the campaign shrank to a mere eight hours and the looks and sounds were seriously improved. Back was single player cooperative mode, while multiplayer had a popular progression system, with passive and active perks for our character.
In five years an almost nonexistent protagonist became a fleshed-out character. He recalled how to use medkits, learned how to sprint, climb, and use weapon iron sights, while carrying a whole arsenal. He had an open mind and invested in himself, learning new skills and honing known ones. The world around him also got better – more spacious, accessible, with branching paths.
Taking a closer look at each Resistance, we see, clear as a day, the road taken by the whole genre of first person shooters over the past eight years. We realize, how similar designs were integrated into countless of other FPSes, how great the influence of Modern Warfare was and how, with the power of nostalgia/getting back to the roots, developers started to reintegrate old ideas. Lastly, we see clearly the newest trend in the whole video game industry – the going for RPG mechanics, various systems of character/equipment progression. What's next? Only time will tell, although the next Resistance most likely isn't happening.

September 19, 2017
By Clayton Wong
According to the firm, a record 61.02% of prime consumers chose used vehicle loans, up 1.12 percentage points from a year ago. In the superprime category, a record 44.32% of superprime customers took out used-vehicle loans, 1.06 percentage points higher than a year ago. The shift comes as new-vehicle loan payment reached a record $504, about a $139 difference from the average used-vehicle loan payment.
"One of the trends that we've consistently seen is all-time highs and record-highs of prime-plus consumers who are choosing a used vehicle," said Melinda Zabritski, senior director of financial solutions at Experian Automotive, adding that the gulf between payment amounts has played a major role in the new-to-used shift.
The used-vehicle market, however, wasn't the only solution for car buyers seeking payment relief. Loan terms, which continued to stretch during the period, were also a go-to option in the second quarter.
According to Experian, the 61- to 72-month term band did lead the way in the second quarter, accounting for 40.4% of all new-vehicle loans. However, the 73- to 84-month and 85- to 96-month bands showed the largest growth.
The share of loans in the 73- to 84-month range increased 1.22 percentage points from a year ago to 32.5%, while the 85- to 96-month band increased 0.3 percentage points to 32.5%. Zabritski noted that a majority of loans in the latter range were primarily clustered around 85 months.
Also reaching a new record was the balance of outstanding loans, which increased from $1.027 trillion in the year-ago quarter to a new high of $1.1 trillion. The new high was achieved as delinquencies, which have caused a slight tightening in underwriting standards in recent quarters, showed some improvement.
According to Experian Automotive, the 30-day delinquency rate inched down 0.02 percentage points to 2.2%, while the 60-day rate increased slightly by 0.05 percentage points to 0.67%.
The improvement in delinquencies didn't translate into a loosening of credit standards, however, with the share of subprime lending in the second quarter dropping from 21.46% in the year-ago quarter to a near-record low of 20.57%. Deep subprime also showed no improvement, falling 0.08 of a percentage point to a near low of 3.98%.
"The last time deep subprime was below 4% for a Q2 period was way back in 2012, and it was 3.77%," Zabritski noted. "The all-time Q2 low was seen back in 2011. It was about 3.64%, but, again, we're still near historic lows for deep subprime in the total loan market."

S&P/Experian: Auto Default Rate Registers Largest Increase Since December 2011
Despite the nine-basis-point increase, the auto loan default rate remains near levels recorded one year ago. However, declining auto sales and the normal end-of-year push to make room for newer models may encourage easier credit conditions and raise concerns about future defaults.

The Attorney General's Office (PGR) obtained from a federal court a new arrest warrant against Ye Gon, for the crime of smuggling precursor chemicals regarded as serious by Mexican criminal law.
In a statement, the PGR said that after investigations by the public prosecutor attached to the Deputy Attorney Specialized Investigation of Federal Crimes (SEIDF) last June 28 criminal charges were filed against businessman of Chinese origin for this offense .
The federal agency noted that a district court had denied the arrest warrant requested, so the Federal Public Ministry filed an appeal.
Therefore, on 1 October a federal court ruled the judge to revoke the resolution and order the arrest of Ye Gon, considering that the evidence gathered during the preliminary investigation is credited the offense referred.
The PGR said the investigation was initiated following a complaint lodged by the Tax Administration Service (SAT) against Ye Gon, in its capacity as sole director of the company "Unimed Pharm Chem Mexico", imported illegally precursor chemicals on 35 counts.
However it was done under the cover of a fake license, allegedly issued by the Commission on Health Authorization Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (Cofepris), which caused damage to the federal treasury more than 10 million pesos.

In order to know where to run the electricity, we had to know where the island was specifically going to go. Trust me, after all the work it was going to take, I didn't want the darn thing in the wrong spot. So, we cleared the decks in the kitchen and taped off the floor. Thankfully there was a large divot (?) (not sure which word to use, so throwing a golf one in because it seems to be the same thing to me) from the old cabinetry, so we decided that was as good of a starting point as any place. Any port in a storm. We used an angle grinder borrowed from a friend to cut the channels before using an air hammer chisel out the concrete.
In the picture it seems so simple and easy to do, kinda like on tv. No big deal, cut three simple pieces out, and run some wiring. H.A. H.A. In case you're missing the bigger picture, here's one that gives a better perspective...
So, with Marc running the air hammer and myself running the vacuum, we trudged on. I ran the vacuum as a close distance, sometimes too close, sorry dad, in an effort to keep down the dust. If you've never worked with concrete before, it rates right up there with grout & tile in terms of dusting mess and skin drying potential. (Note to self, maybe I shouldn't wear flip-flops while doing concrete.) I did tape off the doors and turn off the A/C to help with the effort, but I still need to scrub the whole house...
So, on and on we trudged, inch by inch, and what did we discover?
Are you kidding me? Rebar is only supposed to be every 2 feet, so I've been told, so what were the odds that the rebar would be running directly through the middle of where we were headed?????
Add to that another cattle panel, and the headaches were growing. Thankfully, God was on our side and the rebar sat just low enough for us to be able to run a piece of conduit for the wiring. All in all, I'm guessing it took just over 8 hours of angle grinding, vacuuming, air hammering and all the necessary safety gear, except steel toed boots to complete the job. Please note, that when I say complete the job, I don't mean finish the whole project, just chipping out the concrete.
It took another entire day to put in the wiring conduit.
Due to the unlevel nature of the chipping concrete, so not going there, and the levelness of the conduit, the pipe wouldn't sit below the grade of the concrete. Out came the heat gun, just enough to bend the conduit so that it stayed where it was supposed to. It takes a while to heat up the conduit to bend it and it takes just as much time to cool it down. Not to worry. I had the uber heavy drain pipe from kitchen sink that had been cut out. Boom! Conduit done! Finally.
While it may not be a tropical island, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this island much, much more in the long run!!


text: I would very much like to hear your opinions on the possibility of weed smoking causing throat cancer, as I have become very concerned about this lately. I don't know about you all, but when I take a big hit out of a bong, especially a gravity bong, I experience a slight pain in my throat/upper airways. This pain varies according to how much smoke I inhale. So if you just take light puffs on a joint you may not be able to relate to this. I have always thought that lung and throat cancer is caused by the carcinogens in tobacco smoke, more specifically the way these carcinogens mutate DNA in the cells that line our throat/lungs. I have always believed that the tobacco smoke is chemically more harmful than marijuana smoke, and I still believe this. Plus, a close examination of the properties of marijuana smoke reveal an element of protection that certain properties of the smoke give -- I'm not a scientist but I understand that the carcinogenesis that occurs in the cells of heavy tobacco smokers is blocked in heavy marijuana smokers by certain ingredients of the smoke. BUT.... what about the physical burning of the cells that line our throats caused simply by hot smoke? I have read that chronic irrititation of any internal organ increases the risk of cancer. And I can't think of any more severe case of chronic irritation than taking daily massive gravity bong hits... After a week of bong hits your throat feels pretty sore correct? So the big question is whether the cells that form the lining of our throats that get burned to bits by heavy marijuana use will be replaced by cancerous cells? I have been smoking weed heavily for 5 years. It has been a cycle of burning and then healing, burning and then healing, burning and then healing, over and over. I will hit the bong several times a day for like 6 days.... experience soreness in my throat, provoking me to completely stop for another 6 days... then when I'm healed up I will start the cycle over again. The pattern varies greatly of course (some months I would only smoke blunts).... but it's safe to say that for 5 years I have been smoking very very heavily and put my throat and lungs through some definite burning. Also worth mentioning is that in the past year my throat has been more sensitive to heavy hits than it was 5 years ago. But the difference isn't drastic. I would guess that the carcinogens, the chemicals that mutate your DNA play a bigger role in cancer than physical irrititation, but without being more certain I can't continue to smoke weed. I always thought that the immediate pain I get from a big bong hit is the only consequence -- I never thought the size of the hit (how badly you burn your throat) was a factor in cancer risk... always just thought it was the amount of tar that gets into your lungs that mattered. So what do you all think? I can't be the only one who gets a sore throat from bong rips, can I? And no, that one study by Dr. Tashkin in 2006 just doesn't put my mind at ease.

The acquittal yesterday of the Philippine armed forces chief of staff, Gen. Fabian Ver, and 25 others accused of involvement in the 1983 assassination of opposition leader Benigno Aquino Jr., came as no surprise to many Filipinos. Critics of the decision, handed down by a three-man prosecution panel appointed by the government ombudsman, say its main impact has been to further erode faith in the country's judicial system.
Leading human rights lawyer Joker Arroyo said the whole government -- not just the military -- had been on trial and called the verdict ``condemnable, . . . an indictment of the judicial system.''
But businessman Jaime Ongpin, a political activist and prominent critic of President Ferdinand Marcos, said the decision does not prevent offended parties from reopening the case in a new administration. The acquittal, he said, does not disprove General Ver's guilt.
``He was acquitted on a technicality because the evidence [against him] was thrown out [by the special court],'' Mr. Ongpin said.
Corazon Aquino, widow of the slain opposition leader, is expected formally to announce her candidacy in next February's snap presidential election shortly. She said she would pursue the case further when President Marcos is no longer in office.
``Marcos remains my No. 1 suspect. I hold him responsible for the assassination of Ninoy [Aquino],'' said Mrs. Aquino.
According to Philippine law, no appeal is permitted except on claims of legal error. Under a law against double jeopardy, none of the accused may be tried again for any crime related to the assassination.
In a 90-page decision, the three justices stated that the prosecution failed to establish ``beyond reasonable doubt'' that the military plotted the Aquino assassination. Instead, Ver and his colleagues were faulted for inadequate security.
The judges affirmed a theory held by the Philippine military that Roland Galman, an alleged communist agent, killed the opposition leader. Mr. Galman was shot and killed by military police who had been escorting Aquino from his plane when the senator was assassinated at the Manila airport Aug. 21, 1983.
The judges discounted the testimony of the prosecution's chief witness, Rebecca Quijano, who said she saw a soldier shoot the opposition leader as he was leaving the plane.
Ver, a relative and close confidant of Marcos, told reporters after the verdict was handed down that he never doubted he was going to be acquitted.
``There was no evidence against me. It is no surprise,'' Ver said. The trial followed a 10-month investigation by a five-member civilian board of inquiry that charged Ver and 25 others with involvement in a conspiracy to murder Aquino.
Ver resumed office yesterday after receiving a hand-written note from the President. The note said that the general was reinstated ``for such period as may be decided upon by me and upon the advice of senior officers of the armed forces.''
Marcos said last week that he will reorganize the military after the Feb. 7 presidential elections. Ver is expected to stay in his post until that time.
Some military officers critical of the decision have adopted a wait-and-see stance regarding Ver's future role.
Officers interviewed Monday said they have no choice but quietly to put up with the special court's decision.
One colonel in active service said that most of the younger military officers are ``steeped in traditions of obedience and legalism,'' and those who cannot accept the decision have only one option -- to leave the military.
Leaders of the armed forces reform movement being supported by the United States are concerned about Ver's return. They have recently taken a high profile, appearing for the first time on Philippine television and giving a number of interviews apparently to insure their protection once Ver is back in office.
But the reform movement will continue, the officers said, and it will be difficult for Ver to fight their efforts.
