The Kuwaiti delegation was not permitted to defend Mubarak , already they have not read the case or know anything about case.
@10:20 AMClashes between the Mubarak supporters from one side and the families of the martyrs from another side and the families of the martyrs and the CSF from another side.
There is a huge presence for security forces unlike other time yet it is not separating between the Mubarak's supporters and the families of the martyrs but rather chasing the families of the martyrs and the media !! It started when the families of the martyrs tried to cross the barricades and to attend the session.
The journalists as usual are being attacked by both Mubarak supporters and the CSF. There are stones hurled from every side and as a result there are wounded from the Mubarak's opponents as well as the security forces.
@10:48 AMThe journalists were chased and beaten by the CSF and the Mubarak's supporters. The police threatened to take and smash the cameras of the journalists !! The Mubarak's supporters aided the police against the families of the martyrs and their supporters
The injured number is between 20 to tens !! Here is a photo from Farah Saafan from Daily News Egypt.

Lawyer Amir Salam will present to the court the 50 GB footage he claims to have incriminating Mubarak regime.
@11:02 AMHere is Farid El Deeb outside the police academy from couple of hours ago

Here is a video showing the clashes from Al Jazeera Mubshar Misr.
Here is the photo of Mubarak entering the court room over the stretcher as usual wearing a grey training suite.
Mubarak is currently facing the following charges :
- Intended murder and attempted murder of protesters
- Issuing orders to kill the protesters
- Allowing the use of live ammunition against civilian protesters
- Squandering public money
- Corruption selling the gas to Israel
Not less than 4 Anti-Mubarak protesters have been arrested by the security including an alleged member of April 6th
Youm 7 published a terrible photo allegedly from today's clashes outside the court.
Here is a photo gallery from AP, Reuters and Getty shows you the battles outside the courthouse or rather the Police academy.
Not less than 15 protesters from Anti-Mubarak supporters including members of the martyrs families have been detained by the security forces.
I do not think I should write down the testimony of general Moussa or not because I feel it is wrong yet my media instinct tells me not to do it.
Ok I am going to do because it is important but please wait coz they are extremely important.
There is a recess now , the judge has suspended the session after a debate with the civil rights claims lawyers. Supposedly after the recess the second witness will be called.
The session is resumed.
The Mubaraks have left police academy late night. Gamal and Alaa Mubarak not to mention El Adly "officially convicted" are not handcuffed.
|Without handcuffs
TV host and political activist Abdel Rahman Ezz was attacked and hit by security forces from more than 6 hours ago when he tried to defend Mousa. Ezz is an also member of April 6th Movement "Democratic front"
Here is the helicopter transferring Hosni Mubarak back to the international medical center.
Now I would like to share this photo with the civilized world showing our CSF while dragging the father of 16 years old martyr Mohamed Soliman. If I am not mistaken Mohamed Soliman was originally from Alexandria and his father was a 1973 war navy veteran !!
|Dragged by CSR !!

NYCC '09 - DC Comics' 'DC Nation' Panel
It's the first DC Nation panel (the publisher's Q&A-heavy convention staple) of the year at 2009's first major show, and it's also the first DC-wide panel since a certain mini-series titled Final Crisis wrapped. There should be some stuff to talk about, no?
Held at 7:15 p.m., a quarter-hour after the New York Comic Con exhibit hall closed, a packed crowd — standing attendees dotted the meeting room's walls — awaited some shreds of info on the latest happenings of the DC Universe (or some attention paid to their various gripes.
Led, as usual, by DC Universe Senior VP/Executive Editor Dan DiDio, the panel also included legendary penciler George Perez (who received claps from the crowd when he arrived first; "For once, I'm early," the artist said), VP of Sales Bob Wayne, Senior Story Editor Ian Sattler ("He's going to explain to you all the minute details not in Final Crisis," DiDio joked), Final Crisis/Blackest Night editor Eddie Berganza and writers Greg Rucka, James Robinson, Sterling Gates, and Geoff Johns.Writer Peter Tomasi was also brought in, from the audience.
DiDio began the panel by showing off a Build-A-Bear monkey dressed (kind of) like Darkseid. "This is what you get from fans that hate you," he quipped.
Let's get it out of the way," DiDio said. "Final Crisis?" A decidedly mixed reaction from the audience."How many of you understood Final Crsis?" Some raised their hand. "Stand up," he said. "You guys are my idols."
DiDio brought up the somewhat ambiguous status of Batman post-Final Crisis. "'Why didn't you publicize that Batman was going to die in #6,'" DiDio said, voicing complaints. "Because we all knew he'd be back alive one or two weeks later," he answered.DiDio addressed confusion behind how Final Crisis and Batman R.I.P., both written by Grant Morrison, flow.
"We're going to make sense of this," said DiDio. "Just for you."
DiDio pointed to the projector, saying that story started with the first issues of "R.I.P.," going to Final Crisis #1, and then the last issue of "R.I.P.," Batman #681, then moving to Final Crisis #3.
After that falls the "Last Rites" story (Batman #682-683), and then Final Crisis #6.
The next part after that, somewhat logically, was Final Crisis #7.
"When you put it like that, it still doesn't make sense," joked Rucka.
After that, DiDio said he was looking for feedback from the fans—what DC Nation panels purport to be all about.
First comment from the fans: "Can we get the Orange Lantern oath?" Johns: "It's my favorite oath, and I can't, I'm sorry."
A fan pleaded, "Can you please stop going back in time and going into space and going into alternate Earths and going into the future?" One fellow fan loudly yelled "boo" in response. "Where do you want them to go?" added another heckler.
"Green Lantern's in space, I apologize," said Johns.
"Trinity is all in alternate universes," said the same fan that raised the complaints. "Yeah, but it's pretty self-contained and it's an exploration of the characters," said DiDio.
DiDio said Blackest Night is the next big focus, and is contained on "our" Earth, though much of it is in space.
What's up with Connor Hawke? "I will show Connor the love," said DiDio, who was wearing several shirts — all of which depicted different color Lantern logo — and taking them off periodically. Hopefully he'll leave at least one on.
Status of Animal Man and Starfire? A new Animal Man ongoing is coming, and Starfire will continue to be in Titans.
DiDio asked the fans what they thought of Final Crisis: Revelations. The response was positive from the handful of fans he polled, with one noting that he liked the use of religion.
DiDio also asked about more FInal Crisis tie-ins: Resist, Submit and Rogue's Revenge.
When asking about Requiem, a fan said he liked that it said goodbye to a "beloved character" that was "shortchanged" in Final Crisis itself (according to this guy, at least).
DiDio is now on his Orange Lantern t-shirt.
DiDio then said that the tie-ins were meant to be independent of each other, to counter common complaints about crossovers where fans are "forced" to buy dozens of comics. One audience member dissented, saying it made the event seem less important. Another, especially squeaky-voiced, fan said that "Crisis" was overused. "We're going to give the Crisis name a rest for a while," responded DiDio.
DiDio is down to the Yellow Lantern shirt—uh oh!
"Um...bring Batman back?" asked a fan. "He's barely gone," said DiDio. "Give him a rest! And oh yeah, Batman's not gone. We have a new Batman coming. Never mind. Next question!"
First post-resurrections reunion of Barry Allen and Hal Jordan? Blackest Night #0 and Flash: Rebirth #1, said Johns, who added that Blackest Night #0 will be free—as part of Free Comic Book Day.
A fan asked if "death meant anything any more" in the DC Universe. "Some people aren't coming back," said Rucka. "There is a logic to it.""Can someone talk me out of dropping Brave and the Bold?" said a fan looking for some shopping advice. DiDio said there are three types of stories coming up in the book: a Booster Gold/Magog one-shot by Dan Jurgens, "some crossovers" with the Milestone and Red Circle characters being further integrated into the DCU, and then JMS working with the DC characters.
"MIlestone characters. Why?" "They are untapped sources of great stories," said DiDio. "They are unique and have a voice."
The same fan asked when Justice League was "going to be Justice League again," and Berganza and DiDio defended the title, saying the book would deal with some "hard issues." The fan asked if it would be without Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, and DiDio answered, "without Batman."
DiDio then asked Robinson and Rucka to talk about Superman; Robinson discussed the "World of New Krypton" story, where Supes is forced to leave Earth and live on New Krypton. "On this book that's set on an alien world, events will be constantly unfolding that will affect things on Earth," said Robinson.Starman or Golden Age sequel? "I think the best sequel to the Golden Age was done by Mr. Darwyn Cooke," said Robinson, referring to New Frontier. "As far as Starman, probably not, but I am doing a Shade origin miniseries."
DiDio then brought a fan in a Kid Flash outfit up to the dais to pose for a picture with George Perez. The fan asked about the future of Bart Allen: "He'll be in the 31st century in Legion of Three Worlds," said Johns, adding that he'll be back in the Flash universe as of Flash: Rebirth."If Wally West is just going to be in Titans and guest starring in Flash, aren't you basically making him Kid Flash again?" "Who said those would be the only books he'd be in," asked Sattler. "Thanks for Vixen," said a fan, referring to the Vixen: Return of the Lion mini-series. DiDio shared that Vixen was slated to have her own series before the "DC Implosion" of 1978, but that this was the first time she had her own book since those plans. DiDio said you're seeing "a lot of change, a lot of chaos" in the DC Universe right now, and that that all feeds into Blackest Night.
When speaking of the "absence" of the "trinity" at times in the DCU, Rucka opined that their presence is still felt even if that they're not around; for example, that Superman's greatest power is to inspire others."What happened to 'done-in-one' stories?" DiDio pointed to Paul Dini's work on Detective Comics, and the John Rogers run on Blue Beetle
"Our goal is to keep you coming back every month," said DiDio. "That's it. Simple as that. We're in the business of creating periodical stories, so we got to create things that make you want to come back every week."
Are there any original graphic novels like the Azzarello/Bermejo Joker hardcover in the works.? "Absolutely", DiDio answeredAny new All-Star comics? "We're only going to do it if we feel it matters, and right now what matters is what these guys are doing in the DCU," DiDio said. "That's were my attention is." A fan asked Perez what he thought of the subsequent Crisis stories, being that he was the artist of Crisis on Infinite Earths. "I may not agree, or understand, all of what's going on," he joked. "But that's the starting point. It's not like they ignored it. I've been flattered beyond my worth. Every time there's been a Crisis book, they've approached to me to work on it in some capacity. I'm very grateful. It it's a 'Crisis,' whether they like it or hate it, my name will be near it somewhere."
A female fan (the only one asking a question thus far, so it's worth pointing out), thanked the panel for Tiny Titans. DiDio said that people always claim they want to see comics for kids, and that book was truly a comic designed for younger audiences.
Another question about Tiny Titans: "How come we can't get it into the newsstand market?"
"The entire print magazine category, from Time magazine and Newsweek all the way down to comics, is incredibly difficult right now," said Bob Wayne. "It is going to be a very tough period for almost anything to survive in that environment. It is very difficult to get any number of new comics in that environment."
"The reality still is that there isn't that much distribution out there, because there aren't that many places where they're on sale anymore," he added. "Comics, in your lifetime, has gone from something you can find anywhere to something you have to seek out on your own. And that is unlikely to change at any point soon due to how the market is now."
"Where can we look for Aquaman in the future?" "Underwater," snapped Sattler. "He's in Blackest Night," said Johns.
Is Superman/Batman still continuing on with Batman "dead"? Absolutely.
DiDio excitedly talked about the next weekly project, saying it's "short-term," starts in the summer and is "a format you will be familiar with."
With 10 minutes left, DiDio started "the lightning round"—and stripped down to his Black Lantern shirt.
Max Mercury? "Uh...maybe," said Johns.
"Future plans for Libra?" "No."
A poster on the Bendis board asked about an in-joke from that site involving a Lantern walrus named Babboo. "Don't go to those sites," DiDio said. "They'll rot your brain."
"How many Flashes will you kill in Blackest Night?" "Not enough," said DiDio.
"Do you have any idea with what you're doing with the New Gods after Final Crisis?" "Yes," said DiDio.
"Any word on maybe seeing the Golden Age or Earth-2 Superman anytime soon?" A knowing laugh erupted, given the reports of that character being a Black Lantern in Blackest Night
"Any chance of a Young Justice trade paperback?" "Not at this time," said Wayne. The crowd didn't like that much (or at least the vocal portion)."When are the Indigo Lanterns going to appear?" "Blackest Night," said Johns.
"Can I have the shirts you took off?" "They're sweaty!" DiDio said.
Will we see the Blue Beetle supporting cast again? DiDio indicated that we would.
"Ted Kord, Black Lantern?" "Done," said Johns.
"More 3D or no more 3D?" "Oh please, no more 3D," said DiDio.
Perez on an All-Star book? No, but Perez on something big soon.
"President Obama in the DC Universe, when?" "He's got his hands full with the real job," said DiDio. "The answer is no."
"Are you going to be doing anything with the Secret Six?" "You mean beside the book that's been coming out for about eight months? I love that book," said DiDio.
Anything more with Spectre? DiDio said no at first, but then the panel rumbled that something may be coming up.
Sinestro's daughter? Johns said you'll know more soon.
Doom Patrol? "Yes," said several panel members.
How long will Rucka be on Detective for? "I'm going to be on Detective for 12 to 14 issues, guaranteed."
Anything coming up for the Rogues? "Yeah, it's called Flash: Rebirth"
Who will be the artist when Morrison comes back on Batman?" "Yes," said DiDio. "There will be an artist."," said Johns.

Poker TV losing sponsors after crackdown
Televised poker shows in the U.S. are apparently losing commercial support after the sweeping crackdown in April on the three largest poker sites operating in the country. It's not a surprising trend because the operators of those sites – PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker/Ultimate Bet – were key sponsors.
After the crackdown, "the companies who were interested in sponsoring many of the poker shows on TV have packed up and left," Mori Eskandani, owner of Poker Productions, a television production company that has produced shows for the poker websites, told the WSJ. "So we are looking for new sponsors."
Major events such as the World Series of Poker, which garner mainstream support from the likes of GoDaddy.com, are still televised, but lesser-known tournaments such as the North American Poker Tour have been canceled, according to the WSJ.
Locally, the Heartland Poker Tour is scheduled to return for another round in September. The tournament is televised on Altitude Sports in Colorado.

Charlie Chaplin, the famous comedian, actor, and filmmaker, lived from 1889 to 1977. Charlie Chaplin came to America as a vaudeville comedian in 1910 and scored his first hit with the sketch "A Night in an English Music Hall." He made his first movie in 1913. He did the movie The Tramp in 1915. The character of the Tramp has remained famous, and in the 1980s appeared in a series of television commercials for computers. Dolls, candy containers, and all sorts of memorabilia with the image of Charlie's Tramp are collected. Some of his silent films are considered classics and are often shown on old movie sites.

The Real High-Efficiency Toilets Have Arrived
A version of this article appears in the Water/Energy: Linking Efficiency Efforts (Special Edition) issue of Home Energy Magazine.
June 07, 2007
Why discuss toilets in an energy publication? The interesting secret about toilets—and all of the other fixtures and appliances that use water—is that they are responsible for a good part of a region's energy consumption. Why? Because pumping water, delivering water, and treating wastewater all require electricity. About 5% of all electricity consumed in California is used to provide these essential water-related services. Another 14% is used on the customer side of the meter to water lawns, take showers, and so forth. In short, 19% of all electricity used statewide is used for water-related activities. And according to various field studies, toilet flushing in the typical home is responsible for 27% of indoor water use. Add to that the leakage that is found with older fixtures, and the figure can rise to well above 30%—more than for any other indoor use! Clearly, improving the performance and efficiency of toilets will save energy.

Grace is 8 today. Eight years ago our lives changed in a way we could never have anticipated. I never would have guessed how hard parenting can be or how rewarding. I never knew that you could love another person in the way that we love our Grace.
We think that Grace is amazing. Really and truly amazing. I'm so proud of who she is and who she is becoming. I feel truly blessed that I get to be her Mom. Here are the top ten things I love about Grace right now.
1. She loves her family and wants to spend time with them. Her parents, her brother, and her grandparents.
2. She's a good girl. She thinks of others and has a moral compass that she listens to and follows.
3. She gets excited about life and all that it has to offer. She has told us before that she wants to try and experience everything that she can while she is a child.
4. She loves being a child.
5. She loves to read.
6. She's at an age where she very much wants to be helpful (most of the time).
7. She has not yet gotten to point where she compares herself to others (my wish for her is that she never gets to that point). She is quite happy to be herself.
8. Her red hair and her freckles.
9. She has such a sensitive heart. Two years ago she watched the Curious George movie and she cried (a lot) when he was separated from the man in the yellow hat. To this day she cannot listen to the music that accompanied that movie. She cries at sad commercials and stories. (I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree on this one!)
10. Her smile!

We're spoiled by the relatively rust-free trucks in Southern California, but a quick trip to the South or Northwest is an eye-opener. Gary Wirkkala Jr. knows this firsthand since his family has owned the same Ilwaco, Washington-based shop since they built it in 1932. They restored the building in 2004, and Gary now runs it under the First Avenue Rods & Customs banner, where he built this '55 Chevy truck that was once rusted from the bottom up. Besides the rust, the truck came to the shop with a Nova clip with disc brakes and a ZZ4/TH350/10-bolt drivetrain used as a foundation for the rest of the build. After repairing the body rot, the front fenders were welded to the cab and rockers, a front roll pan was installed with scalloped reliefs for the park lights, the top of the vertical front fender/door gap under the windshield was curved, and all the emblems were shaved. The '55's rear half also got a custom roll pan, while the rear fenders were pie-cut and fit to blend into the roll pan. The rear stake pockets were moved and flushed with the tailgate, which uses modern pivot/lift-off hardware, while the front stake pockets were removed. Under the bed cover that Gary designed and friend Brian Koskela fabricated is a custom aluminum gas tank and white-washed oak bedwood that sandwiches stainless bed strips.
After all this fab work and more, Darrold Weekly finished the bodywork and topped it with DuPont's '05 Cobalt Red with brilliant silver accents, while Gary laid down the flames. A 3-inch exhaust and a set of Foose wheels wrap up the Chevy, which was recently sold to Sandy Welsh, who loves every square inch of Gary's handiwork!
If you have a Classic Cruiser and want to see it here, e-mail at least six high-resolution photos and background info to the e-mail address above, or mail prints to: Classic Trucks, Attn: Grant Peterson, 774 S. Placentia Ave., Placentia, CA 92870.

I love this oil and have been using it in my spa for 3 years. It's silky smooth with excellent slip. It's thick enough so it's not runny. It also works well as a carrier for essential oils.
I like how it easily absorbs into the skin.
I use this product when I am working with hot stones or bamboo. It gives excellent glide and I've never seen it stain the sheets.
I actually use it to shave my legs and find it works wonderfully. It is light enough to not leave my skin feeling too oily.
It's very light and goes a long way, it almost seeps right through my fingers after one pump. It's nice to not have to reapply very often.
It has left oil stains on my shirt. It hasn't stained my cotton sheets, but it did stain my one set of bamboo sheets.

Skype recruiting Xbox developers for 'next generation services'
A llsting on Microsoft's job site reveals that it's looking develop Skype products for the Xbox. The company has kept pretty quiet on its plans for integrating its Skype purchase into its various hardware pockets. While a beta for Windows Phone continues to tick along, this is the first salient sign that Skype and Xbox are looking to team-up. According to the listing: "As a member of the Skype Xbox Engineering Team in London, you will have a strong technical background developing client and/or embedded software." On top of those recent vacancies for browser-based Skype engineers, it's no stretch to see Skype bringing its telephony skills and heavily integrating them into Xbox Live, also giving the internet phone group a huge inroad to people's living rooms. However, the job ad doesn't clarify whether the result will be a simple stand-alone Skype client or something with a little more spice. We'll have to wait for some successful applicants.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After scoring the lone goal of the game against Simmons College the night before, senior Michaelann Rodriguez (Florence, Ala.) scored both of MIT's goals against Worcester State University to lead the Engineers to a 2-1 win over the Lancers at home on Tuesday evening. Tech, who is ranked #20 in the latest NSCAA Continental Tire National Rankings and third regionally, is now 2-1 for the season, while Worcester State fell to 1-1.
Worcester State started the first half off very strongly, scoring its first goal just 11 minutes into the game at the foot of Shelby Archer, who shot the ball from the right corner of the field, firing it clear over the head and out-stretched arms of freshman goalkeeper Lauren Ullmann (Princeton, N.J.). The Engineers wasted no time evening the score, however; at 16:23, Rodriguez received a pass from junior Ambika Krishnamachar (Darien, Conn.) and pocketed the ball in the back of the net, tying the score at 1-1.
Just five minutes later, Rodriguez stole the ball from the opposing team's keeper and shot it at the goal, hitting the post with such power that it rolled into the net before the keeper could knock it free, giving the Engineers the 2-1 lead that they would hold onto for the remainder of the game. MIT took seven more shots at net throughout the remaining 30 minute half, with three of them being saved by keeper Jillian Witkowski. It looked as if MIT might score its third goal of the night at the 36 minute mark when sophomore Amma Okwara (Charlotte, N.C.) swept the ball up and fired it at the keeper, who knocked the ball out of harm's way with the tips of her fingers.
Tech turned up the intensity in the second half, firing 19 shots at goal throughout the entire second half, 13 of which were saved by the goalie. Worcester State were able to break through MIT defense a handful of times, but were thwarted each time by freshman goalkeeper Tamar Weseley (Weston, Conn.) during her stint in the net. With neither team able to get close enough to the opposing goal, the game ended with an MIT victory.
MIT outshot Worcester State 35-12. Ullmann and Weseley each spent 45 minutes in net, with Ullmann making two saves and allowing one goal and Weseley making three saves. Witkowski made an impressive 19 saves throughout the entire game.
The Engineers will host their second of three consecutive home games on Saturday, Sept. 7, facing Emmanuel College at 11:00 a.m..

Wow it looks better!!
Now the next challenge is the assembly of the base station.

lol jokes , I can't wait to see it in action man
What's a coffee if it aint Irish
Yeah BUILDING it is all I'm waiting for hah.
I just got back from another day of shopping and picked up the following:
Two cameras (480TVL with night vision) bunch of connectors, adapters, couple fans, some braided wire loom, another battery, led holders and a universal adapter for my DVR cause it came with a stupid Chinese plug not North American.
If you bought everything you say, i can't imagine your wish list.

Haha my wish list is post #15 on page 1, but I've spent a bit more on switches and buttons and the like haha. About 4x as much oops.
Yeah I've ended up buying even more than I planned, but hey that's all part of the hobby! hahah
I picked this up today:
Now I'll just rip that one apart and build it on to the car, instead of ruining my other remote I made and put all that time and effort in to. I'm going to replace the steering and throttle with the pan and tilt knobs, the transmission will be camera 1, 2, 3 and the diff 1 and diff 2 will be HeadLights and HeadLights + Roof lights. The antenna will stick out of the case, probably at the top of the monitor, where I plan on having the video receiver antenna as well. I spent $20 on an SMA extension last night - the only sma connectors they had, I was planning on extending the video rx antenna to the top, BUT the connectors are BACKWARDS! EUGH.. another wasted $20. (Cost $25 in gas and 3 hours to get back to return it, not worth it)
I did a volume knob test, here's how it'll look:
As you can see I simply printed the graphic out and used a scalpel to cut the circle out.
And finally, I've decided I'm going to tear apart the cameras I bought, look at the size difference:
Much easier to work with now!
They come with IR leds so you can see at night, which is very cool! I'm going to mount one set to the front of the car, and one set to the back of the car, and there are sensors that turn them on when it's dark. It'll be automatic night vision! Going to be pretty sweet.
A very notable difference.
Any updates?
Sl4sh MM2
T-Maxx 3.3

Sl2sh VXL
Yeah big difference!
No nothing really to update, I've been busy this last weekend with other things but I'm about to place an order for another $150 worth of things:
Two new 2.4ghz antennas, 2 36inch antenna extensions, 1 24" antenna extenion for the 1.2ghz video receiver, $45 worth of blue led's and I think that's it. Add shipping and taxes, $140-150. It'll be here tomorrow.
HOWEVER I'm thinking of not using my jeep body anymore for the FPV car. I'm thinking of making it more "military" and less "toy."
I have 3 receivers on the car in total, that's 15 channels. Currently I have:
Ch 1 - Steering
Ch 2 - Throttle
Ch 3 - Transmission
Ch 4 - Diff 1
Ch 5 - Diff 2
Ch 6 - Camera Pan
Ch 7 - Camera Tilt
Ch 8 - Camera Select (1,2,3)
Ch 9 - Lights
Ch 10 - Roof Lights
I'm thinking of this:
Ch 11 - Second Pan
Ch 12 - Second Tilt
Ch 13 - NOT SURE
Ch 14 - Night Vision On Front
Ch 15 - Night Vision On Front And Back
So I received my ALMOST final order of parts. (this hobby is INSANE) (In total $155)
I Just received 10 blue, sleeved pre-wired LED's for all the system stats.
Two relays (one to control charger, and the other to control the rest of the system)
Five antenna extensions
Two 2.4ghz Antennas
1 x 7pin Connector and Plug (for charger balance port)
Not all the extensions in this pic but here's the parts:
Here's what I'm doing with the Charger Balance port: 7-Pin connector that will plug in to the top of the case, making a much cleaner looking jack for the balance board, than the stock one:
This is where it plugs in on the case: (picture shows only five pins, but I'm using the full 7, so I can do 6s battery balance)
This is the plug that I'm going to use:
Here's the antenna extension on the remote! It works!
Basically what I'm going to do is go from the TX through the tiny IPEX connector to SMA adapter (3-4inches) then plug a 24" SMA to SMA extension in to THAT and at the end of that plug a 2.4ghz antenna in to that. I've tested it and it works! (Haven't tested more than 20 feet but without an antenna it wouldn't go that far)
Here's how it'll look once all the antennas are extended and
For those who are reading this and haven't been following along:
I'm using two transmitters and one video receiver - thus the three antennas. I'm placing the video transmitter on the left side far away from the two transmitters on the right side to avoid as much signal pollution as possible. The two transmitters on the right are both going to be from Traxxas TQ remotes, with the above antenna extensions.
It's allllllllll coming together now!
I think I'm going to buy another one or two Castle Creations 10Amp BEC's and power the 5v things off those. I'll plug them in to the 12v source and program them to be whatever voltage I need. So far I have 5V: DVR, Sound System. Then I have the two 6v TQ transmitters.
(great as I'm writing this one of my video card fans just decided to start screaming! Uh yi yi never ending)
Looking Nice!!!

I love this build, hope the base station all comes together in the end
I was curious, how were you able to control the LEDs so the main ones, rear and front turn on with one button and then when you press the next, the roof lights come on aswell. I have the Traxxas TQ 4-ch remote and am thinking of making my LEDs have that capability and wish to use the switch next to the wheel (For a Summit they lock the diffs). Would you be able to help or give a clue?
Good luck with the rest of the build
Following your build it's awesome lol we have a much larger bomb bot at my shop
psycho, I have the switches setup like this:
CH4: Chassis Lights
CH5: Chassis Lights & Roof Lights
Exactly as you mentioned, using the diff locking channels! Because I'm using a second radio, I can still operate the diffs from the other remote.
Emaxx, that's awesome!! Massive tires on that thing! Any videos!???!
Lol, Nice!!

Oh yes that's right, ahha sorry!! I'm using RC-LIGHTS Receiver switches, you can google'm - don't wanna post a link and get in trouble. They're cheap $10-15 and my LHS had them, so I've picked up 5.
So basically you just plug the thing in to the receiver box (ch 4 or 5 or whatever you want) and when that channel is selected, it activates the switch - in this case, turns the led's on. Very cool.

Ill have a look now
Im planning on having light that are able to be turned on and off, like yours
and then driving lights, so brake lights, indicators etc
That MARCBOT is awesome, I love how NASA took over and gave it some security, and an Xbox remote haha!
LOOK WHAT I PICKED UP TODAY ($220 uh yi yi)
The trouble is, I didn't know how to hook it up!! It's designed to work with its own 5v camera and transmitter, not use my 12v cameras and 12v transmitter.
The gentleman I picked it up from (superior store for all things FPV, and he just happens to be close to me - 1.5hrs) helped me out. I sent him this picture asking, "uh here's what I have, now what!?"
He returned with this a couple hours later:
How awesome is that!?
So I wired it all up, and it works!! Best of all, I've re-wired my transmitter, making the cables longer and tougher, and wired in the fan so now testing won't be a problem. Totally excited, I video'd the whole thing, I'll get it converted and uploaded within an hour and throw it up here, so you can live through the SAME SUSPENSE I did (... as I said, very exciting.)
So it's uploading now (all 200mb) annnnnd yeah, it'll be here once it's done:
Should be up by 2:00am EST
I mentioned in the comments, "I just watched it AFTER clicking upload, lots of dark space and ... very poor filming" haha so I'm sorry about THAT part.
Hahah nice
you're using the gopro on the summit though right or that one that I seen in the video?
What's a coffee if it aint Irish
Both! Using two of the ones you see in the vid, and the GoPro Hero2 as the main - though the video for FPV is better on the two smaller cams because they provide 4:3 instead of 16:9 like the go pro.
So I just picked up $30 worth of Aluminum rods from 2" wide by 4feet to 8feet and 1 inch to L's to .5inches etc..
And $50 worth of screws and another CC 10amp bec. That's another $80 + the $25 in gas there.
I think I'm mentally ill. HOWEVER the screws are very nice, here's how it looks now:
I know I know I know, STILL not being built, BUT I had to get the screws so I knew what size to show the holes for the laser cutting. They're all HPI Wheel Screws - Hex Socket, 2.5mm x 7mm. I picked up 75 in 3 bags of 25.
The CC BEC is going to be used to power the two TQ transmitters I'm building in to the Ground Station. I was going to get TWO bec's so I could throw 6v to the transmitters, and 5v to the sound system, but I'll see if the sound system will be able to take 6v straight. Shouldn't be an issue either way.
Looking good
I think you should throw in some of the Mars Rovers fpv systems into your Summit and take a lil drive around america from youre couch

Thanks again DBG! physcophantsy, tell me about it! I would if it was legal, but that sort of TX/RX power is far beyond anything I can use - I'd have the government knocking on my door in no time. Hahah, as my signal would certainly over power those coming from Mars; "New pictures from NASA's Curiosity....... strangely enough it appears to have transformed in to a type of Traxxas style vehicle, and most importantly.. there is greenery and blue sky everywhere!? This is what we've been waiting for folks!" ......... oops!
Any updates?

Sadly nothing. I had to give some love to my Mini E-Revo today. Turns out my neighbor has a Nitro T-Maxx! We spent the day getting it running.. Nitro, what a joke hahahahahahaha. Srsly.
It was cool though, that thing FLIES in second gear, very very fast. Anyway so no, no updates other than:
Waiting on graphics/cutting company to get back to me so I can get them the art work to laser cut and print everything for the panels on the ground station.
Then I need to rig up something on the body of the Summit. I'm pretty certain I'm going to build a claw crane arm thing, and have a camera mounted on that. It'll be 5-6 servos, built out of aluminum annnd yup I'll need another radio or two in order to control the whole thing. I've already got a small case (about 8inches x 9inches) that I'll make in to a remote control for the crane. If I can plan the whole thing out tomorrow, I'll come up with controls and get the graphics guys to also cut out a panel for that! How cool would that be? Main ground station for TV and camera controls, but theeennn second smaller box for "crane claw control" haha. Something like this:
One servo to Turn the whole thing left and right. One servo to lift the whole thing up and down. Another to lift the second arm up and down. Another to rotate the claw. Another to open and close the claw. And perhaps another to rotate the claw left and right.
Yeah! ..... pretty crazy idea, but I think it's doable, and I really like the idea of a second wireless small box to control it.
(wow I tried posting this and Traxxas forums wouldn't respond - happening to me all day every day recently, but there's this "restore auto saved content" button that popped up, niiice!)
Lookup the EOD talon it has some features your looking for u could copy some like it uses a chain for the arms
You could also use an Xbox controller to replace all yours if u wanted
Last edited by Emaxx1991; 08-13-2012 at 11:45 PM.
Yeah the xbox controller is too easy in my opinion, I want a more customized controller. More industrial looking and feeling. The Talon has only so many videos online and I've seen'm all at least twice over the past few days hahah! I have a bunch of ideas brewing and I'm just trying to combine them all to be unique yet elegant. Thanks for the suggestions! =)
If u want any more just let me know lol I have 12 talons at work
Some pictures of their controller would be a HUGE help to me! I can't find ANYTHING worthwhile online.
I tried for 24 hrs to load this page, I haven't been able to! This is so frustrating, but last night I ordered two 6-channel radio systems (hk-t6a) so now I have 12 more channels to play with. Guess what, 12 of them are proportional!
So making THIS:
... no problem now! That's a 6 DOF (Degrees of Motion) Manipulator arm.
I'm still stuck on how I'm going to control it. I'm thinking of so many cool things:
Simple Joysticks and a Pan knob.
Replica model but miniaturized so I can literally just manipulate a model arm, and the real one will do whatever I'm telling it to do.
Simple sensors that say, "contact made" and either turn on a light, or make a quick BUZZ or something, incase I bend it in an illegal way - such as back in to itself.
The gripper/claw/grabber will be proportional as well, so I'll have very fine control over how much "force" is used to grab something. Without feed back it'll be tough, but I'm sure I can figure something out.
A camera will be mounted to the top of it also, so I'll be able to see what I'm doing from a proper point of view.
THEN I'll have another 6 axis free, so I can make both my GoPro AND the other camera full pan and tilt cameras. That takes up only another 2 channels, leaving me with four more - Perhaps a quick "flipper bar" to push myself back over, or perhaps pull up and over something. We'll see.
Getting very exciting.
When does this stop being a Summit and start being a Krall Creation??
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
You sir have taken this over the edge of madness!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sent using lipo power
Mountains cant stop me
they have tried
Hahaha, quit trying to get me in trouble would ya Jimmie! I have to keep saying SUMMIT so I can keep my build thread on the Traxxas forum. Besides, I have three Traxxas radios, using Traxxas Batteries, Traxxas EZ Peak, and Traxxas vehicle of course. I think it's Traxxas enough to keep here, buuut I'm not changing the SUMMIT name of it haha.
Thanks jamann, I read somewhere when I first got in to the hobby back in Jan, "Yeah but once you start you can't stop!" and then when I switched to the Summit from my Mini E-Revo people on that forum were saying, "any time now you're going to show up with a completely modified Summit!"
Thing is, it's not really being modified at all. Stock EVERYTHING on it still, just some plastic modifications and screw holes for now! I'm pretty certain I'm going to have to do something with the suspension to really beef it up - I'll get to that bridge when the time comes.
For now I'm just keeping myself busy with this crane thing, and my options so that I can get this second case designed, and get them both sent off to be printed/cut.
Back to work...
I've been following your build since the beginning and all I can say is Wow. And, you just keep taking it up another notch.

Diabetes is a disease that is caused by the lack of insulin in the body or the body's inability to properly use normal amounts of insulin.
The body converts the food we eat into sugar (glucose). The body needs this sugar, in the form of energy, to perform its functions. The hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. If the body lacks insulin or does not use the insulin properly, then this imbalance results in high blood sugar. Eventually many unhealthy changes can occur in different body organs, including the kidneys.
Sometimes at a later stage, so much protein is lost from the blood that water from the blood moves into the body tissues and causes swelling (edema). After a number of years, the kidneys' filters can become so damaged by diabetes that the kidneys fail.
Sometimes at a later stage, so much protein is lost from the blood that water from the blood moves into the body tissues and causes swelling (edema). After a number of years, the kidneys' filters can become so damaged by diabetes that the kidneys fail.
There are several types of diabetes. The most common ones are Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 1 - Juvenile Onset Diabetes
Type 2 - Adult Onset Diabetes
Signs of early kidney damage can develop in as many as 50% or more of people with diabetes(1-3). If left untreated, this could lead to more damage or kidney failure.
You could have serious kidney damage without being aware of it. There are usually no specific symptoms of kidney disease until the damage is severe. However, if you have diabetes, you should be tested once a year to see if diabetes has affected your kidneys. Your doctor can arrange a urine test for protein (a random urine test for "albumin to creatinine ratio"), and a blood test to check how well your kidneys are functioning (the "serum creatinine").
When your kidneys are about to fail you might experience tiredness, nausea and vomiting. You could also retain salt and water, which could cause swelling of your feet and hands, and shortness of breath. You may also find that you need less insulin than usual.
When the kidneys fail, wastes and fluids will accumulate in your body and you will need dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant. You may be referred to a nephrologist (a kidney specialist) if your doctor thinks the damage to your kidneys is severe.
There are special treatments (including proper food choices and medications) which may help to delay kidney failure. It is necessary to start these treatments as soon as your doctor notices any of the early signs or risk factors. Therefore, you should stay in close touch with your doctor.
There are many things you can do to help prevent kidney damage:
* Blood pressure goals vary depending on the individual. Discuss your blood pressure goal with your doctor.

Quiberon is a prosperous francophone nation in western Wallasea. It has played a leading role in developing liberal thought, especially in the realms of democracy and egalitarianism. In the 20th century, Quiberon saw its global role reduced. However, it remains an important economic and military power, and by most accounts is the most influential liberal democracy in the world.
Quiberon is a constitutional monarchy, in which the monarch is head of state, but government is managed by a bicameral legislature. The framework for government is established by a codified constitution. Quiberon is a unitary state.
Conventional long form: The Kingdom of Quiberon.
Capital: Evian.
Administrative divisions: 55 unofficial regions.
Citizenship: At least one parent must be a citizen of Quiberon.
Suffrage: Universal at age 18.
National symbols: The fleur-de-lys, the lily, the royal coat of arms, the hare, the colours blue and white.
National anthem: By the Will of the People (À la Volonté du Peuple)
I. Government
Head of state: King Charles VII.
Head of government: Corinne Lapointe, Prime Minister.
Legislature: Two-tier. The lower house, the Chamber of Representatives (Chambre des représentants), has right of initiative. The Chamber of Peers (Chambre des Pairs) can review and amend bills, but cannot veto them.
Voting: First-past-the-post ranked voting for the lower house, appointment by sovereign for the upper house. By convention, peers are drawn from the twelve royal academies of art and science.
II. Law
Quiberon has a codified constitution, as well as national civil and criminal codes. The judiciary operates independently from government. Judges make decisions that are binding on future courts, except to the extent that they are overridden by the legislature. Quiberon comprises one legal jurisdiction. A national supreme court is the last court of resort. Defendants are innocent until proven guilty in court.
Constitution: Codified.
Highest court: The Supreme Court of Quiberon (Cour suprême du Quiberon)
Jury trials: For criminal trials with penalties of 5+ years imprisonment or $50,000.
Double jeopardy: No one may be retried for the same offense if their first trial concludes in an acquittal, conviction, or mistrial.
Law enforcement: By the Quiberon Royal Police (Gendarmerie royale du Quiberon).
An economic underperformer following its defeat in the Great War, Quiberon emerged from the 20th century as a global economic and trading power. Its economy is the fifth-largest in the world, and is 88% the size of the largest economy, Questers. Markets are dominated by a mix of public and private enterprise. The Quiberonnais economy is underpinned by one of the most comprehensive social security nets in the world. The 2014 Questarian Civil War led to a protracted economic recession, from which Quiberon recovered in the first quarter of 2016.
GDP: $5.750 billion
GDP growth rate: 2.5%
Debt as % of GDP: 85%
Unemployment: 6.0%
Richest 1% of persons own: 13% of all wealth
Richest 20% of persons own: 45% of all wealth
Currency: Quiberonnais couronne
Quiberonnais values were shaped by proximity to the Common Law Commonwealth. In contrast to that of the Commonwealth, Quiberonnais society places prime importance on human equality and natural rights. Tolerance and pluralism feature prominently, although Quiberon is a monocultural society made up almost entirely of Quiberonnais people. There is a general sense that the underprivileged in society ought to be taken care of; this is achieved through the provision of social services, such as public employment, education, and healthcare.
Ethnicity(-ies): >99% Quiberonnais.
Language(s): French.
Religion(s): Catholicism.
Urbanization: 65%
Major urban areas: Evian, Port-Cartier, Reims, Pérouges, Montpellier
Education: Public, universal.
Healthcare: Public, universal.
Life expectancy: 76 years
Quiberon does not have a strong military culture, and maintains a relatively small army and navy. Budget cuts during the 2014-16 recession reduced most existing army units to low-readiness status. Recently, fears associated with a Commonwealth military build-up have shifted public opinion toward expansion of the armed services. Quiberon operates a force of 6,000 soldiers in its former Cratean colony, Motappaland.
Divisions: 14; of which 4 are full-readiness, 2 are partial-readiness, and the remainder are low-readiness.
Aircraft carriers: 4 CVNs.
Military presence in: Quiberon, Motappaland

Planning is under way to bring a playscape back to Preston Veterans Memorial School after other equipment was removed because of safety concerns.
Melissa Lennon, who has children in kindergarten and second grade in the school, said she and Board of Education chairman Jan Clancy surveyed students and teachers at the school to get their suggestions about possible play equipment. Lennon said students in grades 2 through 5 were shown slides explaining the pros and cons of each feature.
�At this point, we�ve got the crucial information to move ahead with the planning,� she said.
At its August meeting, the board voted, 4-2, to have a deteriorating wooden playscape removed from the school grounds. At that meeting, it was estimated that the playscape needed $27,000 in repairs, while new equipment would cost between $180,000 and $250,000.
Lennon said the old playscape was taken down three days into the school year. In October, the board unanimously voted to spend up to $6,000 for a new, six-seat swing set at the school.
Lennon said the survey collected input on features such as slides, climbing equipment and bridges to see which ones appealed to students and teachers. They were also shown unique equipment, such as fire poles and a centrifugal �gyro spinner,� and asked to share suggestions of their own.
John J. Welch, superintendent of the Preston school district, said a presentation on the proposed design of the new playscape should be ready at the December meeting. He said the playscape cannot be placed on a 86-by-72 foot wood chip area because the new swing set is being built there. However, an 89-by-72 foot grass area remains available.
�It�s not a problem, because we have that real estate and it�s not being used for any other purpose,� Welch said.
Lennon said she hopes the playscape would be ready for use in the 2014-15 school year. Clancy said a budget has not been set for the project, but that Lennon has been involved in fundraising activities and that other staffers are also developing ideas to fund the effort.
�I had a teacher and a (paraprofessional) come up to me, and they were full of ideas for raising money,� Clancy said.

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom are giving their marriage another go.
E! News confirms the 31-year-old "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star and the 35-year-old former NBA player are calling off their divorce. The two both signed divorce papers in July, but, due to a file backlog, the judge had yet to sign off, so the pair is still legally married.
Kardashian's attorney Laura Wasser went into court Wednesday and asked the judge to withdraw the divorce petition that was currently being processed and awaiting a judge's signature. The judge granted the petition and now the divorce case is over.
The news comes just over one week after the E! star rushed to her estranged husband's side at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas after he was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel on Oct. 13.
Odom suffered a drug overdose and has since come out of a coma. Currently, he appears to be recovering; however, he will need "a lot" of rehab in the coming months.
PHOTOS: Stars send prayers to Lamar Odom
On Monday, Odom was discharged from the Las Vegas facility and transported to Los Angeles. Kardashian was photographed exiting Sunrise hospital, and she remains by Odom's side as he continues ongoing treatment.
Yesterday, the reality star released a statement for the first time since Odom's hospitalization. She admitted the "past week has been incredibly difficult" and thanked friends, family and fans for the "outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received."
On Tuesday, a source also told E! News that there are no immediate plans for Odom to be discharged from the hospital in Los Angeles.
"Every day he is getting a bit better, but he is continuing to have extensive tests on his cognitive and motor functions, so no one can make a definitive diagnosis yet" the insider said, adding, "He is more coherent day by day."

Nicki Minaj was all about the girls on BET's "106 &Park."
Yes, the "X Factor" judge suffered a nip slip on live TV Monday. Wearing an ornate, bejeweled bra, the "Freedom" singer seemed blissfully unaware that the top of her left breast was exposed.
See how Nicki strategically avoided an onstage nip slip last month
But don't judge Nicki by her little wardrobe malfunction. She bought the entire "106 &Park" audience pizza and signed a $15,000 check for the Food Bank of New York City.
There's a big heart behind that bare breast!
Ms. Minaj is certainly not the first star to flash some flesh

What is Max?
Max is an application for creating high-quality audio files in various formats, from compact discs or files.
When extracting audio from compact discs, Max offers the maximum in flexibility to ensure the true sound of your CD is faithfully extracted. For pristine discs, Max offers a high-speed ripper with no error correction. For damaged discs, Max can either use its built-in comparison ripper (for drives that cache audio) or the error-correcting power of cdparanoia.
Once the audio is extracted, Max can generate audio in over 20 compressed and uncompressed formats including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Apple Lossless, Monkey's Audio, WavPack, Speex, AIFF, and WAVE.
If you would like to convert your audio from one format to another, Max can read and write audio files in over 20 compressed and uncompressed formats at almost all sample rates and and in most sample sizes. For many popular formats the artist and album metadata is transferred seamlessly between the old and new files. Max can even split a single audio file into multiple tracks using a cue sheet.
Max leverages open source components and the resources of Mac OS X to provide extremely high-quality output. For example, MP3 encoding is accomplished with LAME, Ogg Vorbis encoding with aoTuV, FLAC encoding with libFLAC, and AAC and Apple Lossless encoding with Core Audio. Many PCM conversions are also possible using Core Audio and libsndfile.
Max is integrated with MusicBrainz to permit automatic retrieval of compact disc information. For MP3, FLAC, Ogg FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Monkey's Audio, WavPack, AAC and Apple Lossless files Max will write this metadata to the output.
Max allows full control over where output files are placed and what they are named. If desired, Max will even add the encoded files to your iTunes library in a playlist of your choice.
For advanced users, Max allows control over how many threads are used for encoding, what type of error correction is used for audio extraction, and what parameters are used for each of the various encoders.
Max is free software released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Partial screenshots of the General preferences and Formats preferences are also available.

Searching For Chiropractic Clinics Near You?
If you frequently deal with back pains, neck pains, spine, and sports injuries, you might be searching for the best chiropractic clinics near Brighton Colorado. Chiropractic care is considered a holistic and alternative treatment option that triggers the body's natural healing abilities. It is a non-invasive treatment option where millions of Americans are benefiting at the moment. The approach is shown to treat more than a dozen of different conditions. One of the best things about chiropractic care is that the method is 100% drug-free and helps heal your body naturally. The treatment option is effective in dealing with headaches, back pains, ear infections, neck pains, joint pains, arthritis, bowel irregularities, blood pressure, asthma, improved mental clarity, and a host of other conditions. With hundreds of chiropractic clinics near Brighton, one should be cautious when selecting the best practitioner in the area. Here are important tips to consider when choosing the best chiropractic clinics nearby your location.
Despite the popularity of the treatment method, there are many misconceptions about the field of chiropractic care. Many patients are still confused when it comes to how the practice works and how chiropractic professionals are trained. In fact, most of the chiropractic programs incorporate an entire year of Ph.D.-level training in different subjects. Hence, a chiropractic doctor is a highly skilled and trained individual out there. Like with all other professions out there, there are many quacks operating in this industry too. That is why it is important that you perform extensive research before deciding to work with the right chiropractic doctor in your Brighton area. Your homework is essential to choosing the best candidate for the job.
Lower Back Pain And Chiropractic Care
Thousands and thousands of people annually seek medical care for back pain. For some, the pain is gone within 6 weeks. For others, it becomes chronic back pain.
Chronic back pain affects individuals in various ways. Most make repeated visits to physicians, seeking relief. They want to know what causes their chronic back pain. They want new tests. They want to try whatever treatment may be available.
Chronic back pain sufferers may report difficulty in performing normal daily activities. They may believe the pain is increasing. They may simply want someone to sympathize, and agree that it is not "all in your head" at all.
Although back pain is the main reason people visit orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, and the second main reason they visit primary care physicians, an estimated 5 to 10 percent of those visitors will receive no cure. They will go from low back pain to chronic back pain.
Patients are frustrated because physicians do not cure back pain. Physicians are frustrated because they cannot cure low back pain. Many think they can do little to prevent occasional severe back pain from becoming chronic back pain.
If nothing is done, however, chronic back pain limitations can seriously impinge on daily activity.
Clinically Proven Limitations
For the patient, it is difficult to believe that chronic back pain limitations are often unnecessary. They continue to believe that the pain has a cause that can be readily diagnosed, despite their physician's repeated assurances to the contrary. They believe the physician can find a medical sure for their back pain if pressed often enough and hard enough. As for treatment, patients often believe that until the cure is found, the best treatment is bed rest and limited activity.
The result of such beliefs is that back pain that could initially be resolved with exercise becomes chronic back pain. Chronic back pain that might still be resolved if the patient were to exercise regularly gradually develops and produces chronic back pain limitations.
TIP: Back pain is very, very common in our society. Rather than let it lead to complications and limitations, you may want to ask your physician for gentle exercises that may resolve your back pain before it becomes chronic.
Most of the wellness and health benefits associated with chiropractic care are due to the chiropractic adjustments received by the patients. These adjustments are important to place your body in the proper position so that it can heal itself. In fact, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the stress placed on the patient's immune system. This will release energy that is vital for maintaining homeostasis and preventing diseases. The treatment option addresses the whole body of the individual thereby improving his or her ability to think and act more positively.
A professional Brighton Colorado chiropractor prides him/herself on taking a drug-free, natural approach to helping the patient improve his/her wellness and health in the long run. In fact, the entire principle is built on the basis that the body has an innate ability to heal itself under the right conditions. The chiropractic doctor will help create the right environment for the body to start healing itself. The practice focuses on keeping one's spine properly aligned at all times. The nervous system controls every organ and cell in the body. Hence, if the spine shifts out of its proper place, it should be brought back into alignment without delay to prevent issues in the nervous system which can manifest as various diseases in the body. That is where a professional and experienced chiropractic doctor comes in handy.
Middle Back Pain On Right Side - What To Do?
Having to bear lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain is an experience no one should ever have to go through. Scientists and doctors all over the world are groping around, mostly in the dark, trying to put their finger on the cause of lower back pain. So far as women are concerned doctors are sure that lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain is related to their menstrual cycles and this is something that can be dealt with a fair amount of ease.
However, doctors have admitted that it is not an easy thing to pinpoint the cause of lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain. They insist that a patient who can keep a track of the symptoms and report them to the doctor will make the process of diagnosing the cause and arriving at a better and effective treatment an easier task.
Some of the causes of lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain are related to the more common urinary infections and kidney or bladder problems, then again you may have a serious bowel problem. Whatever the cause of your lower back pain and abdominal pain you will soon find that it is very difficult to pinpoint and even more difficult to treat effectively. Most treatments available will prove to be temporary in nature and the condition will recur frequently.
If you happen to have lower a bloated or swollen lower belly, this may be a warning flag for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. Notice fresh blood or tarry looking stools? This would need investigating as well.
Your pain may feel like it's coming from the womb or any other of your internal reproductive organs. This would mean you would experience the pain in the middle of the lower belly, just above the line of public hair about as far up as the navel. There might be more pain to one side than the other - usually an indication of an ovary being inflamed etc. If you have pain when you have sex, you would feel that deep in your pelvic area. The possible range of conditions is varied. You could be looking at pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, fibroids or maybe even endometriosis. In any event, don't wait call your doctor immediately.
The American Chiropractic Association states that there are more than 70,000 chiropractic professionals operating in the United States alone. With so many to choose from, finding "any" chiropractic doctor is fairly easy. But you don't need "any" chiropractic when it comes to treating your condition. In fact, you want the "best" chiropractor in Brighton to treat your specific condition. This is a bit trickier than finding just any chiropractic doctor in the area. There are many things to consider when choosing the right professional to treat your condition.
When provided by a highly skilled and experienced professional, chiropractic care is quite effective in healing a wide variety of conditions. The right professional should have a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience. A personal referral from someone you trust is a great starting point when searching for any type of professional near Brighton Colorado. Ask your existing health care team, friends, family members or co-workers for recommendations in this regard. You may also hop online and read patient reviews and surveys on professional chiropractors operating in your area. Make sure you do the homework properly before scheduling your first appointment with the potential candidate.
Don't forget to check the credentials and experience of the potential candidate. Chiropractors are also known as doctors of chiropractic (DCs). They are highly trained professionals who have completed nationally accredited graduate-level programs. In addition to their 4-year undergraduate degree, a chiropractor should have a 4-year doctorate degree – similar to doctors of osteopathy (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs). Make sure the candidate you choose is licensed and a graduate of an accredited school of chiropractic. Evaluate his/her experience before you work with them. These are some of the most important things to look for when choosing the best chiropractic clinic in Brighton Colorado.

Use the off-season to get your gear ready for the fish
If you're like me, you tried to fish all the way to the end of the season. So your tackle was never put up properly.
Now that there's little angling left, outside of possibly a little pickerel action, it's time to care for your tackle. The chore is necessary if you expect to hit the ground running in the spring.
Get a sponge, some good dishwashing detergent and thoroughly clean each of your fishing rods, hitting the guides with an old toothbrush. Cork grips should be scrubbed with a cleanser, like Ajax, Comet or the environmentally friendly Bon Ami, and reel seats gone over with a good, soapy brush and rinsed.
Pickerel and plenty of them are the best news of the month. The Severn and its many tributaries are producing reports of really nice 20-inch-plus fish. The Magothy is getting good reports as another source, as is Bodkin Creek just south of the Patapsco. Just about any Bay tributary should hold pickerel up nearer the headwaters where the water is sweeter.
Hunting Seasons
Ducks: thru Jan. 26
When the rods have dried, apply a heavy-duty marine grade of silicone or silicone spray the whole length of the rod tubes with particular attention to the guides, then the reel seats. In a pinch, you can use other types of preservatives such as WD-40 or a lubricating oil, but they are not intended for this application and won't provide optimum protection.
Nicks, scars or scratches in the cork grips can be repaired with a wood filler, such as Elmer's in Golden Oak color. Afterwards sand the grips lightly with 220-grit sandpaper. Saturate all your cork grips with neatsfoot oil. It will keep them young.
Neoprene and other types of rod handles can be simply scrubbed lightly with a brush, soap and water and, when dry, sprayed with the same heavy-duty silicone to renew their appearance and keep them soft and lasting a good long time.
Your fishing reels deserve extra-special attention. During the year, your lines will accumulate and concentrate surprising amounts of salt, which can eventually cause spool corrosion. Replacing old line is a good idea. Strip off and discard all the line if you intend to replace it.
First, strip off all the line and discard it if you intend to replace it in the spring. Otherwise, saturate it with a good line conditioner. I like Line and Lure Brand Saltwater Formula. Blakemore's Reel Magic is another choice. Both will neutralize the salt accumulation, keep your monofilament and fluorocarbon from becoming stiff and brittle and improve your casting distance for all type lines when you start out next year.
After attending to the line, scrub the reels themselves with a small brush saturated with marine-grade silicone, blown off with a can of compressed air, then buffed with a clean soft cloth.
Do not directly spray your reels with WD-40. This household favorite is really a solvent-based, anti-rust compound and only a light, temporary lubricant. Applied too liberally, it will get into your bearings, bushings and drags and dissolve their grease and oil. Apply this compound, if you must, lightly, with a cloth or soft brush and only to the exterior.
Spinning reel spools should be removed and the reel and spools carefully cleaned with a brush and Q-tips. You can anoint exteriors with a light machine oil, but all lubricants should be wiped off with a cloth.
Examine your line roller assemblies to be sure they spin freely. If they don't, apply a solvent-based cleaner, then blow them clean with a can of compressed air. Repeat until they spin freely. Lubricate them with a good reel oil. Rocket Fuel, Reel Butter and Hot Sauce are a couple of the better brands.
Never coat the outside of your crankers with grease or heavy oil. While it might be great protection against the elements, it will also attract and hold dirt and grit and eventually cause wear and performance problems.
Casting- and trolling-reel level-wind worm gears should be cleaned and lubed with oil or grease, the handles scrubbed clean and lubed and the entire reel closely examined for corrosion. Then lightly lube the reel and wipe clean.
All bearings should be lightly lubricated. Bait-casting and trolling reels are far more mechanically complex than spinning reels and much more dependent on proper servicing to ensure long life and trouble-free operation.
Once these chores are done, you should store your reels in their covers or wrap them in cloth and then put them in away in a drawer until springtime. Reassembling the reels on the rod and leaving them in the open will only re-expose your tackle to dust and dirt, which creates a new source of fouling and performance failures come the new season.

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) has said that, "McDonald's, KFC and Starbucks have come over to Taiwan," that "McDonald's has opened 390 branches in this nation, it has been here for 30 years, employing over 200,000 people. When it first came to Taiwan, people were concerned about the impact it would have on small traditional food outlets...opening up makes Taiwan more competitive... being worried about it is like Chicken Little panicking the sky will fall."
If Ma wants to use Uncle Sam's McDonald's, KFC and Starbucks as examples, then let us run with that.
Is the entire staff of these companies, from management down to counter staff, comprised of foreigners, paid more than double the average local wage, unable to speak the local language, or are they Taiwanese who can communicate with their customers? Would they be able to employ staff when they first came over here had they offered less than the going rate? Indeed, have the owners of McDonald's, KFC and Starbucks suppressed salary levels in Taiwan? Have they not given people in Taiwan jobs?
However, what if today, there were Chinese investors opening stores selling hamburgers, fried chicken, coffee, etc? Workers' salaries would fall and if not, then there would be no job creation. Businesses are not charities — they are profit-seeking enterprises. To increase profits, slashing wages is the best way.
If you think NT$22,000 is low, then what do you think a boss from China, where the average wage is typically a quarter of that, thinks? They would consider it too much, not too little. If they are to make a profit, they would have to insist upon pay cuts of 20 or 30 percent. The Taiwanese will just have to "be good" and accept it. If they say no, Chinese bosses will find it easy to bring in others happy just to have a job. It would only take the price of a plane ticket to bring people — management and staff alike — from China.
What would happen if Chinese investors were allowed to open stores here is they would make the most of the dual advantages of the lack of language barrier and a low domestic salary level. If they could not employ local staff for less, they would import Chinese to replace them. Bad money chases out good.
This is why Taiwanese are so against the opening up of the domestic service sector to Chinese employers. It is not just that Taiwanese are concerned, it is more that they are up in arms.
Even more worrying is that, concealed within the service Trojan agreement, it says that Chinese immigrants and spies need only prepare the sum of US$300,000 — money which can be used repeatedly — and they can enter Taiwan, perfectly legally, for three years, after which their stay can be extended for another three years, then another, indefinitely.
From a national security perspective, what chance does Taiwan have?
If Taiwan is to sign a service trade agreement, why would the first be with the only nation in the entire world that has ambitions on Taiwan's sovereignty?
Nobody wants Taiwan to close itself off from the world, or to oppose the nation's engagement with globalization. However, what is objectionable is tying Taiwan to China, and equating China with the rest of the world.
If Taiwan is to sign a service trade pact, why not engage with the US, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Australia or the EU — countries and regions that do not harbor hostile intent toward the nation? Nobody would oppose that.

Valdia, Russia (AP) – President Vladimir Putin has denied gays face discrimination in Russia, saying that a new law that has drawn protests worldwide does not infringe on their rights.
Putin on Thursday insisted the law bans only "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations among minors." He argues that it is "no infringement on the rights of sexual minorities."
The law has prompted calls for boycotts of the 2014 Winter Olympics hosted by Russia in Sochi.
Putin says while some European nations have allowed gay marriages, "the Europeans are dying out…and gay marriages don't produce children."
He added that heterosexual couples should have more children to reverse a population decline, saying "let us make our own choice, as we see it for our country."

There were plenty of stars celebrating last night's passage of the gay marriage bill in New York. Among them were Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, who just announced their engagement.
"I've already purposed (sic), he said yes! Thank god!" tweeted Burtka, before adding, "he proposed to me as well. I said yes! Thank god!"
The couple are already parents to twins, a boy and a girl.
