Workplace Action Steps for Leveraging Mature Talent: Findings from the Talent Management Study
by Jungui Lee, Tay McNamara, and Marcie Pitt-Catsouphes
when it comes to older workers, companies now reaping what they sowed
Analysis of the Talent Management Study shows lack of planning
July 2012—We've all heard the advice about putting something aside for a rainy day. Trouble is, many of us fail to heed that advice. And when it comes to planning ahead for their human resources needs, many U.S. companies aren't much better. A new analysis of the Talent Management Study, conducted by the Sloan Center on Aging & Work at Boston College, indicates that companies have not done a good job of gathering the information they need to ensure they have the right people in place to get the job done. This finding is being borne out in today's coverage of the country's labor troubles. News media regularly report on the shortage of skills that employers currently face. The 2009 Talent Management Study found that more than two-thirds of employers (68%) had done little or no analysis of the makeup of their work force. And three out of four employers had done little or nothing to collect information about employee career plans, work preferences or projected retirement rates.
The new analysis of these findings concludes that the more employers analyze their own talent management situations, the more likely they are to have policies and plans in place to recruit, engage and retain older workers. In other words, the analysis draws a direct link between employers' lack of prior human resources planning and today's skills shortage.
"The lesson we learn from this, or should learn," says Tay K. McNamara, PhD, Senior Research Associate, Sloan Center, "is that companies need to plan ahead. They need to gather information about their work force in order to avoid being caught short-handed down the road."

While porcine epidemic diarrhea virus has caused both physical and emotional damage, the silver lining is that it's bringing increased attention to biosecurity importance.
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) has hit the nation's swine herd hard. Eight million deceased pigs later, the pork industry is still baffled as to how the virus even entered the U.S.
National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) President pointed out during World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, this week that even though PED has caused both physical and emotional damage, it could have been worse. He says the silver lining to the virus is that it's bringing increased attention to biosecurity importance.
Watch the full AgDay report:
One of those individuals working hard on future outbreaks is Hank Harris, president and CEO of Harrisvaccines. Even though his lab is remotely located in Ames, Iowa, the work being done behind the doors is nothing short of impressive. Not only has Harris already created a vaccine for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv), but he's also trying to find answers to a more fatal foreign disease before it even occurs.
"We're very interested in working on other foreign animal diseases, and before PED occurred, we were underfunding for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)," says Harris. "So, we've conducted efficacy studies with USDA for FMD for both cattle and pigs."
With a vaccine already created for FMD, and one under development for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), he's been working closely with USDA.
"I would say in the last two to three years that the USDA has been very cooperative as far as getting vaccines approved," he says.
It hasn't always been that way, and Harris says that's partially because his technology is so new.
"If there's a new disease, like PED, then we take specific genes from the PED, off the Internet, and take the gene sequence, and have it synthesized," he explains. "Then, we place that gene into the Alpha virus platform."
Harris' biggest challenge today is overcoming perception, as many veterinarians and large producers continue to doubt he can make a successful vaccine with a sequence off the Internet. Harris says it's that technology that allows him to break ground on new vaccines so quickly.
"We can make a vaccine and switch out the gene in about four weeks," he says. "So, with other technologies it may take a while to change the nature of the vaccine, but it takes us about four to six weeks."
Harris says currently viruses of foreign animal diseases aren't allowed with the U.S. borders. So, his new technique allows him to create the vaccine without ever touching the live virus.
"But to actually test them for efficacy, we have to send them to the government, to Plum Island, to be tested, or to a foreign country," he says.
Meanwhile, Michigan pork producer Erin Ehinger has fears of what a more severe virus could do to her farm, and she wishes a response to PED would have happened quicker.
"There has been progress made, but if you talk to producers and vets, everyone has a different recommendation, so there is still a lot of unknowns as to what is the right thing to do and what is the best thing for the future," she says. "So, I think overall, we wish people would have come together better, and so we would have some more solid answers at this point.
Harris knows the pressure is on to not only have a successful answer for PED, but possibly save the U.S. herd from future outbreaks. And it's a challenge he's working on every day.
"We want to make sure we have the best vaccine we can, and we want to try and save as many pigs as we can," he says.
Meanwhile, USDA announced Thursday that it would pledge $26.2 million in funding to combat porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) and porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and issued a federal order requiring new detections of these viruses to be reported to animal health officials.
"The industry is already seeing herds previously impacted by the virus become re-infected, and routine and standard disease reporting will help identify the magnitude of the disease in the United States and can help determine whether additional actions are needed," according to a USDA press release.
Hear more about this issue on AgDay and AgriTalk and Market Rally, as they report from World Pork Expo.

Five Tips for Glucose Monitoring
1. Know your target blood glucose range. Talk to your healthcare provider about your personal glucose goals for pre- and post-meal readings. To get an idea of the range for which you should aim, see below:
Time of check
Usual goal for Most people
Before meals
Two hours after meals*
less than 180
less than 7%
*expect a 30–50 point rise from premeal glucose levels 2 hours after a meal
2. Learn how to check your glucose. Always wash your hands with warm water prior to drawing a sample for the test. If you can't wash them, wipe the area with an alcohol swab, and then shake your hand a bit below your waist to bring blood to the area. Perform the fingerstick, and apply directly to testing strip.
3. Decide when to check your glucose levels. Talk with your healthcare team about when the best times are for you to check your glucose. It often makes sense to check before a meal, and then two hours after. Also try to check your glucose when you think you might be experiencing high or low glucose.
4. Identify glucose patterns. Checking glucose levels shouldn't be viewed as an annoying task, but instead as a tool to figure out what the next step is in treating your diabetes. Think of monitoring as a compass: when you figure out what your glucose is at different times of the day and look at the patterns, it will be much easier to determine what direction to head in.
5. Determine what causes blood glucose changes. Do you sometimes miscalculate how much carbohydrate is in a particular food, and then find that your blood glucose is either too high or too low? Log these observations and try to remember them so you'll have an easier time in the future.

4G LTE devices are usually a bunch of fatties because the size of 4G LTE modules is ginormous (relatively, at least). Sometimes that tradeoff is too much! But it looks like things are a-changin' because Sierra Wireless just introduced the world's thinnest 4G LTE module at 2.5mm skinny.
The anorexic AirPrime EM7700 will only work with AT&T's 4G LTE network and is 2mm thinner than the previous generation. That's 44% fat loss right there! But cutting size didn't come without compromise, the new 4G LTE chip is tossing away its support for EDGE speeds and will only support LTE and HSPA+. It's time to kill the slow, I guess. The new 4G LTE chip is targeted toward ultrabooks and tablets and should trickle down to AT&T devices soon enough. Now if you see 4G devices getting smaller, you'll know why.

Let $x,y$ be vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let's use the notation $\hat x$ for the vector $x$ with its components sorted in increasing order. The Hardy-Littlewood-Polya inequality states that $$ x\cdot y \leq \hat x\cdot \hat y.$$ Let us also use the notation $xy\in\mathbb{R}^n$ to denote the coordinate-wise product of $x$ and $y$. I conjecture that $$ \frac{ ||xy||_p ||xy||_r}{||xy||_q} \le \frac{ ||\hat x\hat y||_p ||\hat x\hat y||_r}{||\hat x\hat y||_q} $$ for all $1\le p\le q\le r$. For $q=p$ and $q=r$, my conjectured inequality is true by the HLP inequality. Any ideas for a proof?
UPDATE: thank you for the quick answers. The counterexamples indeed work when negative coordinates for x and y are allowed. However, when all the coordinates of x and y are required to be positive, the conjecture seems to hold.
UPDATE 2: so the conjecture is totally false; see below for counterexamples.

Wandering Off (Elopement)—Autism Toolkit
View spanish version, share, or print this article.
What is wandering off
This is the tendency for an individual to try to leave the safety of a responsible person's care or a safe area, which can result in potential harm or injury. This might include running off from adults at school or in the community, leaving the classroom without permission, or leaving the house when the family is not looking. This behavior is considered common and short-lived in toddlers, but it may persist in children and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Children with ASDs have challenges with social and communication skills and safety awareness. This makes wandering a potentially dangerous behavior.
How common is wandering off in children with ASDs?
According to a recent survey of parents, nearly half of children with ASDs between the ages of 4 and 10 have tried to elope. This behavior may continue to occur in some older children and even teenagers and adults with ASDs. This is concerning because many individuals with ASDs may not be able to communicate their names, addresses, or phone numbers if they become lost.
What happens to children with ASDs who attempt to wander off?
Of the children with ASDs who tried to wander, nearly half succeeded and were missing long enough to concern their parents. One-third of the parents surveyed called the police. Two out of 3 parents reported their wandering children had �close calls� with traffic injury, and almost one-third reported near-drowning episodes. Older children and adults with ASDs who wander may also have negative encounters with law enforcement officers, particularly if they do not respond to officers in an expected way or if they are unable to communicate at all. Untrained officers may mistake ASDs for intoxication or drug use.
Why do children with ASDs wander off?
Parents of children with ASDs report the following top 5 reasons for wandering:
Simple enjoyment of running or exploring
Desire to reach a place he enjoys (such as the park)
Trying to escape an anxious situation (like demands at school)
Pursuit of a special interest (as when a child fascinated by trains heads for train tracks)
Trying to escape uncomfortable sensory stimuli (like loud noise)
What can be done to decrease wandering?
Be aware that wandering can occur anywhere and anytime.Caregivers should be free of distractions when supervising a child with an ASD. Family gatherings or other events may give a false impression of �all eyes on� a child, but visiting relatives create changes of routine, which can increase risk for elopement. Also remember that children with ASDs who are outside playing may need extra supervision to prevent wandering.
Secure your home.This might include installing dead bolts, a home security alarm system, battery-operated alarms on doors and windows, and fencing around your yard.
Teach alternative behaviors.If a child is wandering to obtain something preferred or to escape a situation, teach alternative ways to request and access these situations.
Alert your neighbors.Knowing your neighbors can help reduce the risk associated with elopement. Consider giving your neighbors information about your child that you think might help in preventing wandering.
What else can be done to decrease risk?
Create a family wandering emergency plan.Make sure your family has a plan in case of a wandering emergency. Involve other caregivers such as grandparents or personnel at school in developing the safety plan. The Autism Wandering Awareness Alerts Response and Education (AWAARE) Collaboration has a sample plan that can be downloaded (see Resources).
Maintain an emergency form.Keep up-to-date information cards about your child, including a picture and physical description of your child. These can be distributed to neighbors and safety personnel in the event your child wanders.
Consider a tracking device.These devices are worn on the wrist or ankle and locate the child through radio frequency or with GPS tracking. Check with your local law enforcement agency for more information (also see Resources).
Consider an ID bracelet or other ID device.Medical ID bracelets and devices will include name, telephone number, and other important information. If your child will not wear a bracelet, there are alternative ways (for example, temporary tattoos) (see Resources). When vacationing away from home, it is especially important that your child has some form of identification that can be easily recognized in case of elopement.
Teach safety skills.Work with your intervention team to evaluate your child's safety skills and proactively teach skills to help your child identify herself and stay safe (for example, state name, respond to �stop,� wear and show an ID bracelet).
Teach your child to swim.Ask your pediatrician if there are organizations that offer swimming lessons for children with special needs in your area. If you own a pool, completely fence it in and have gates that self-close and self-latch higher than your child's reach.
Alert first responders.Your community may have programs that allow you to provide first responders with key information about your child before an incident occurs. This information might include emergency contact information, a photo, and any other information about your child that might help should she become lost.

At its most obvious, Noki custom mounts a challenge, a symbolic critique or even
a form of resistance, against mainstream, mass-market, homogenous and
depersonalised commodity fashion.
Where sportswear relies on brands and powerful logos to make its selling
proposition, Noki abducts these signs, reconfigures them, uses, abuses and
reuses them and creates the new and unorthodox.Oink. Not pis. Geddit?
With French philosopher De Certeau, the operations of Noki can be seen as
tactics of the weak, pitted against strategies of the strong. David's fast and sneaky
movements, too fast for Goliath, strong, but slow and inflexible.
So, at its most obvious, the story of Noki is the story of resisting monolithic
corporations and their hardnosed profit mentality, wherein individuals are reduced
to passive but unfaithful consumers and clothes are objectified and turned into
mere 'stock', which needs to be invested with attractive myths and promises
through intensive marketing. While certain multinational clothes retailers design,
manufacture (outsourced to underpaid workers through a complex supply chain?)
and distribute the same bland jumper to identical outlets all across the world,
Noki custom makes one-off pieces. With care. With dedication. With aura.
The work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction (the title of Walther
Benjamin's famous essay) – it's not always reproduced.
Noki pieces are antithetical to assembly line textile production. They don't go 'on
stream'. Their production is not economical but excessive. They are not "dead
labour" but full of raw energy, evident in the creative play with forms. The point is,
at its most obvious, Noki is about a simple ethically-charged dualism:
transnational, monolithic corporate operations? Not good.
Independent, authentic, original, passionate, artful and creative production of one-
off art pieces? Good.
But the story is more complicated and also more significant. Rather than simply to
assume an imaginary position outside of dominant relations of production (if this ispossible) and to launch an anti-corporate critique from this outside vantage point, Noki raises a different set of questions.
Put simply, Noki's work is not saying 'fuck the system'. Noki's work is about the
much more real and pressing matter of how to challenge problematic aspects of
the system as you are inside it and part of it.
Let's begin by making clear the impossibility – or near impossibility – of a morally
just high-ground, above and beyond the systems of commodity exchange and
symbolic production, i.e. branding and marketing. Noki can't just make clothes for
free, for everyone, one love, heal the world. Noki must eat, Noki must sleep, Noki
must ring the publicist on a mobile which is not cheap. This takes us neatly to the
second point. Noki must have a point, this idea must be communicated to the
world, it must be shaped and managed, as do the relationships with the wider
public. It's called PR. Sometimes the meanings attached to products can be
planned – marketing was invented to do this – sometimes the meaning of objects
including clothes is negotiated by the receiving public in unanticipated ways.
This means two things: sometimes Noki has to accept productive partnerships
with businesses that have much less issues with contemporary consumer
capitalism than Noki. Secondly, some of the ways in which Noki must work as a
label are not so different from those enterprises Noki sets out to challenge.
Let's think this through. Let's be self-reflexive, honest and aware, for a second.
A Noki outfit or piece may cost between £400 and £1500. Objectively, not cheap.
But what are you getting for it? A special, one-off creation, an object full of aura
and – in its strange riotous aesthetic – beauty. This limited edition, the mystique of
the Noki brand, the enviable following of hip celebrities and cool art-hipsters-cum-
skate kids as well as the object itself, in its symbolic context, make it a very
desirable thing. More specifically: consumer object. Even more specifically:
So there you are. It's been said. Noki makes commodities too. Does that mean
they are any less creative? Any less critical? Any less challenging to both logos
and branding as well as conventional aesthetic hierarchies? No, of course not.
They are critical of and – to a certain degree – complicit with contemporary
relations of production and consumption.
These questions are raised, through the position of Noki pieces in the market
place and on the very garments themselves, with their playful subversion and –
dare I say? – celebration of the brand and the logo. Noki is zeitgeist, constituting a
nuanced commentary on contemporary society and culture not just because a
simple reactionary critique of brand capitalism. But because of a much more
complex exploration of the many ways of reproducing as well as challenging
existing social conditions.
To put it simply, Noki is about exploring the productive contradictions of being part
of the system and resisting it from within.

We're down to 10 contestants on this seventh season of "Project Runway" and I think it's fair to say to say, after watching the beginning of this season, that the show has officially returned to form.
Everyone is back in New York. Michael Kors and Nina Garcia have been on every episode. Tim Gunn looks happy. The challenges have been lively (and tonight's hardware store challenge looks tremendous). And, most importantly, the designers are competent. They even use colors! Who knew such a thing could be used in fashion?
I'd go so far to say that this is the deepest pool of designers the show has had in a very long time. After they got around to booting that one girl who cried all the time last week, the ten remaining designers are all fairly talented. We've quickly surpassed the "Can we just get rid of all the crummy designers already?" phase of the show, and now we're squarely in the good stuff. Nice place to be.
Right now, it's hard to pick out a favorite from this pool. Usually, the favorites on shows like this announce their presence within a few weeks, but such is the depth of this group that it's hard to pick out one designer and say, "Hey, they're clearly the best." This time, it appears anyone can win. Here is my best shot at handicapping the remaining field.
Jesse (30/1) - He looked to be among the dregs up until last week, but then the dude who looks like Chase from "House" bounced back with a solid kiddie/mommy outfit that landed him in the top 3. Could have been a one-time deal. Or, perhaps, he's finally over Cameron and ready to show Dr. House he means business.
Maya (28/1) - The token hot girl of the group was (SPOILER ALERT) not in attendance at some recent Project Runway event, while all the other remaining contestants were. This is a shame, as ScarJo's hot dwarf sister has spent the past six weeks fluttering her lashes and throwing her bangs all over the place. She's delightful.
Mila (25/1) - Also known as Maya's mom, Mila won a challenge and placed in the top 2 right after that (for that star dress that was the ugliest thing I've ever seen the judges fawn over). Since then, she's been outed as a one-trick pony, and the one annual member of the cast who is treated like an unwelcome in-law by the rest of the designers. Emilio says she doesn't do anything but "color blocking." I don't know what this means, but I agree with it. COLOR BLOCKER.
Anthony (20/1) - My favorite contestant. I've heard some in the gay community slag Anthony for being too stereotypical, and to those people I say BAH! My boy has EARNED his blazing flamboyancy, I tell you. And he listens to the judges and improves every week. YOU CAN'T STOP MY LITTLE SOUTHERN FIRECRACKER.
Amy (15/1) - Got crushed for her petal pants last week, which made her model look like a deformed peacock. Also, the stud in her lip completely distracts me.
Jonathan (15/1) - Was in the bottom last week, but excellent at construction (you need to have those construction skillzzz), and the judges clearly thought his outfit last week was an aberration. Also, his Michael Kors impression is SPOTLESS.
Emilio (10/1) - I'm waiting for the background story of his lisp. I can already see the segment now. Born with a speech impediment. Learned to express himself… THROUGH FASHION.
Seth Aaron (9/1) - Also known as the guy who's far too old to still try and dress like he's Scott Weiland. Seth Aaron won last week's challenge and has the clearest identity of all the designers. But I give to demerits to any guy who wears fingernail polish AND lets it chip. Seriously. Makes me nauseous.
Ben (7/1) - Thom Yorke's quiet twin grinds out a passing design every week, and seems on the verge of busting out with something more impressive.
Jay (5/1) - Hard to anoint Jay as the favorite when there really isn't one, but he's been as consistent as Ben, only with a win and other top finishes in his pocket. No color blocking from Jay and his semi-fauxhawk.

When connecting a computer via audio cable to an external amplifier, there may be a difference in ground potential between the two devices.
This may cause a few types of issues, such as:
we strongly recommend not to remove the grounding of one of your devices (VAIO or amplifier). Doing this may solve the ground loop issues, but will endanger you and your equipment. Without proper grounding, the risk exists that the complete electrical current goes through someone's body.

Sure my youngest child is around 8 years old, maybe 7, also could be 9. Do I look like the department of health that holds birthing records? NO. Of course not! So, my youngest child wants to watch a horror film. He doesn't really understand that horror movies are rated R for a reason. When he asks daddy to watch all the Saw movies I figure it's a great idea because watching horror films can teach an invaluable life lesson. Plus daddy has it on extreme authority that my 8 year old knows someone in his class that might have watched half of a Saw movie one time. He said it was either Goosebumps or Saw and he can't remember. So as father of the year we decided Saw was pretty close to Goosebumps .
First, horror films teach you that people are insane and to trust no one because they might one day betray you for something pretty trivial like a pack of gum. For my daughter, I feel like it really taught her not to go running into the woods with her boyfriend to have sex, because she will die first and that her boyfriend is a pussy and won't be able to protect her. Also, (we watched Carrie recently) only refer to boobs as dirty pillows when talking to daddy because the subject is super uncomfortable. My child love scary movies. They practically beg to watch them then run home and tell mommy on me which results in a 3 hour lecture on how they're only kids and "blah, blah blah" something about you're the adult.
Look, as a great father I want to give my children everything, and part of everything is nightmares. You haven't lived if you haven't woken up in a cold sweat scared to death because there might be a monster under your bed that asks you, "Want to Play a Game?" By the way any movie that asks you if you want to play a game has to be a kids movie because games are for kids.
All the life lessons pail in comparison to the real life lesson we learned as a family, how to keep secrets. Here is a really life conversation with my children on the way to the movies to go see Oculus:
Parenting Tip # 66 Horror Movies Can Teach Your Children Valuable Lessons

Parenting Tip # 65 Teaching Your Children to Eat Healthy (Part 2)
Recently, my daughter decided she wanted to be a vegetarian, this action infuriated Daddy as we pulled into the barbecue restaurant for my youngest sons birthday. I felt this act was selfish, that she had made up this decision as a way of punishing me for my excellent parenting skills. As I explained that this form of requesting a special dietary option as we pull into barbecue joint was unacceptable. I told her that being a vegetarian is similar to quitting smoking and one must set a quit date for meat.
Further I asked, "Daddy would love to understand why you no longer want to partake in dead animal flesh, from poorly mistreated animals, that were probably beaten and abused before they got on our plate." She replied that, "She doesn't like the taste of meat." This response sent Daddy into a tizzy. I immediately started yelling which is Daddy's first and only line of defense. As I screamed at my daughter that she could have approached her new found vegetarianism in so many different ways and that I feel like she has decided to become a vegetarian as a way of rebelling against Daddy and I feel like she is holding a shotgun to my head. I told her I would never conform to this and she can now consider herself a starvetarian because Daddy will no longer feed her.
After this altercation we went inside the restaurant. My daughter calmly pointed out that they have these things called salads and that they are very comparable in price to the item she would normally order. I looked at her with eyes of defeat and allowed her to get a salad. The salad came and she looked at some of the vegetables in disgust. I explained she has to eat all of the vegetables or she is no longer a vegetarian. She said she doesn't like peppers, onions, or mushrooms. I said, "Why don't we get a chicken sandwich and forget this ever happened?" She nodded her head in agreement. Then we went home and watch a PETA documentary on chickens and laughed.
Parenting Tip # 64 How To Bring Your Children Back Down To Earth
It occurred to Daddy this weekend that buying my children everything they wanted in order to shut them up, was a stupid and expensive idea. Now they are ungrateful little brats that use whining and yelling as a tool to hold daddy hostage. So daddy decided to take them dumpster diving for dinner and clothes. I explained that if daddy ever lost his job and we became poor this is how poor people survive. My daughter questioned this by asking me if I ever met a poor person before. I told her they have this cool newspaper that homeless people write and sell on the corner for money and that last week daddy almost bought one from the poor person. She then asked why I didn't buy it. I told her daddy has this fear that if you touch a poor person you might become poor. So time for dumpster diving. As we edged near the dumpster I looked at my children and said women and children first. They looked at me in disgust and immediately started crying. They screamed, "NO! We are SO SORRY! We will be good!" But their little tears did not persuade daddy to stop. It was the moment I picked up my daughter and threw her in the dumpster that it occurred to me this might possibly be child abuse. But it was a little late to doing anything about it. So in order to make up for it I bought her a pony.

Parenting Tip # 63 Teaching Your Children To Eat Healthy
My children loved pizza and Mc Donald's. Every time daddy asked them what they wanted to eat they would say PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! If I tried to serve anything healthy they would roll their eyes and not eat it. So I decided to ruin their favorite food. Daddy use to love Doritos and would eat it all the time, until one day daddy was drunk and vomited Doritos in the back seat of his friends new Lexus. I never talked to that friend again, not because I was embarrassed about puking in his car, but he tried to make daddy pay for the clean up. It's not my fault you make me sea sick when you drive drunk. But what I learned from that experience besides screwing up a 10 year friendship over who vomited in whose luxury car was if you vomit something you like you usually won't eat it again. So daddy bought 15 pizzas and I kept feeding them pizza until they vomited all over the place. Now when I ask them what they want for dinner they say, "Anything but Pizza!" Mission Accomplished.
Parenting Tip # 62 Talking to Your Children About Drugs
Approaching your children on the topic of drugs is intricate. It's extremely important not to mess this up, or not only will your child try drugs they will grow up to be little crack whores. Don't be stupid and quote the 80's slogan "Just Say No!" That's a crock of S@#* and also why Daddy tried drugs at 12 years old. Be realistic in your approach. Sit your children down and simply say "Look at Daddy, do you really want to grow up and be like this? You know Daddy cries sometimes because he is such a failure and never reached his full potential. You know why Daddy never reached his full potential kids? Marijuana, well not to call it a gateway drug but ultimately heroin."
Then reinforce the fact you aren't telling them not to do drugs but that drugs have consequences. Tell them if they do drugs you will buy it for them….. with their college money, because if they do drugs basically college is going to be a waste of time, so you might as well spend it on killing their brain instead of expanding it. Break it down for them, tell them exactly how much they have to spend on drugs/college, say if you go to college you will also get a car, if you do drugs I don't want you driving and you will probably live at home with Daddy until you're 40 and be working a McDonalds.
After you explain the whole situation depending on your child's ability to negotiate they might talk about experimentation, like trying it a few times to see what it does, explain to them they have addictive personalities, for example harassing Daddy for ice cream like a crackhead every 5 seconds, then jumping off the walls and asking for more ice cream, that is a huge indicator that you will be addicted to drugs if you can't even handle your ice cream addiction.
Parenting Tip # 61 Never Protect Your Children from Non-Imminent Danger
First, Daddy would like to clarify this tip is specifically geared for boys, sexist it might be, but let's remember gender roles are real, know your role. As Daddy walked through the park yesterday with his kids running a muck, somewhere, not sure where, but they came back, unfortunately. But as Daddy walked in the park, I spotted a father and son walking together. The boy was a toddler and looked like he was just learning to walk. What pissed me off about his parenting skills wasn't his keen supervision of his child, but as his child edged toward a puddle, he intervened and saved him from the soggy doom. As parents it's our job not to teach our sons to grow up thinking Daddy is going to save us from trivial things like water. Luckily as this was happening my middle child came up and I whispered in his ear to push the boy in the puddle.

Parenting Tip # 60 Little Snitches Get Stitches Too
It annoys Daddy to no end when my children talk to me to begin with, but when they use that time to tell on each other, it sets Daddy threw roof. Tattle tailing children will grow up will no social skills because they are always looking for someone else to solve their problems. We all know those types of people today and they're the ones you want to smash in the face with a Louisville slugger. Daddy teaches his children that "Snitches Get Stitches." A saying my children love cause Daddy made it fun for them by singing it as a rhyme. Daddy tried making another rhyme like tattle tails might not go to jail but they have no friends cause they are pussies, the kids didn't like that one to much. But I try to teach my children to spread the word for the greater good, when we go to the park now and a child says they are telling on them this set my children into stealth mode and they will go to extremes to prevent that child from snitching. It's cute cause they chant "Snitches gets stitches." As they kick the child in the spine.

Kate Cox
Class of 2004
Major/Minor: Drama, Music
As the College prepared to dedicate the newly renovated Gibson Center for the Arts in 2010, Kate talked about her undergraduate experience.
As a drama major and music minor, I spent a lot of my time in the Gibson Center for the Arts. I devoted entire afternoons to singing through songs from my voice lessons and practicing for the Early Music Consort in the music practice rooms—and sometimes even in Dr. Garry Clarke's office. We rehearsed scenes in the green room for long hours, late into the night, only to return the next morning for a 9 a.m. carpentry work call in the shop. We cleaned Phoebes, the old black box theatre in the basement of Gibson, and then we were presented with a neat new small performance space right next to it. I think we created amazing things in that building, and I loved every minute of it. The wonderful thing about people involved in the arts is that physical limitations and restrictions never restrict their creativity. If we didn't have a space for a show, we found one. People used the loading dock at the back of the theatre, and we had classes outside on the steps on nice days. Tawes may be a little old and dowdy, but it was home for those of us consumed with a passion for music and theatre.
How fortunate tomorrow's students will be to have a wonderful new performing arts space. This center is exactly what Washington College needs right now. As the school strives to raise its profile among its liberal arts competitors and remain competitive for prospective students, the physical campus must reflect the quality of the academic experience offered here. This new facility will become a gathering place for students, faculty, alumni and friends to celebrate Washington College and the arts.
Think of all the plays, concerts and performances created in Tawes. Now consider how much more potential a modern performance center holds. With new facilities, students of the arts will have no restrictions on space or technical support. There were always scheduling conflicts for rehearsals in Tawes; if the Concert Series was using the stage and the green room, where could we rehearse? If a lecture were scheduled in Bill Smith, would there be a place for the Early Music Consort to meet on the music hallway? In the new performing arts center, there will be a place for everyone and everything. I can't wait for the drama and music professors to finally have a much-deserved opportunity to watch their students fully blossom into actors, technicians, musicians and artists over the course of four years, in a space equal to their creative talent.

The truth about Gov. Rick Perry and secession
It didn't take long after Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced that he was running for president for Democrats to rekindle a favorite talking point: Perry, they say, wanted Texas to secede from the union.
But what did the Republican governor really say? Our colleagues at PolitiFact Texas first explored that question during the 2010 campaign.
Houston Mayor Bill White, the Democratic nominee who ran against Perry, said his opponent "threatens to secede." We rated that False.
Perry, in explaining his remarks, claimed that he said there was "absolutely no reason to secede." That earned a Mostly True.
This week, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Perry "wanted to secede from the union." We rated that False.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I really sat here and submitted more than one tutorial. Today I will start the day filling requests with some easy stuff once again. To start, let's learn "how to draw an easy elephant", step by step. Elephants are always fun to draw because they are just so big in size, and their appearance is so massive. They are what you call gentle giants when it comes to safari animals. Now just because elephants look harmless, they are still very dangerous and should not be approached even at a zoo. Anyways, to me these animals have a serene presence about them, and that is why they are one of the more popular safari creatures roaming the world today. When it comes to drawing an elephant, there is so many ways to start a project such as this. In the past I have done lessons on cartoon style elephants, realistic elephants, and even just a plain old elephant. This tutorial is going to teach you to "draw an easy elephant" with little or no complications. When you are done, you can make a neat looking background, or you can choose just to leave your newly drawn animal just the way you see it here. No matter what you want to do, there is no better way to enjoy one of the oldest mammals on earth. I'll be back with more drawing fun so stay tuned in to see what I will put up next.

Saturday the players arrived on campus, received dorm assignments, met new teammates and filled out reams of paper work. Monday morning they were on the court for the first practice session.
"The first practice always brings excitement," said coach Brandon Rosenthal. "The anxiety that builds up is a little different for the fall sports because there is no lead time."
The first days back are even more hectic for the freshmen who are making adjustments on a number of levels both on and off of the court. Rosenthal has welcomed three freshmen in outside hitters Kaycee Green, Kory Honel and Amanda Rhein. Also new to the team are junior Tory Ashcraft, a setter who is returning to the court after sitting out her freshmen and sophomore years; and junior outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer, who made the transition from Clemson during spring semester.
"I can only imagine the butterflies that are there for the freshmen," said Rosenthal during a break from a busy practice schedule. "They have heard so much about college volleyball from their friends, their high school coaches and their club coaches.
"To through your first college practice is kind of like a baptism by fire. The first practice is a fun time. It is a learning process. We are not going to win or lose any games by what happens in the first practice."
Rosenthal has been impressed with the energy of the team. He is also pleased with the way the upperclassmen have quickly raised the bar in terms of leadership.
"I really like the steps the upperclassmen have taken," said Rosenthal. "The intensity in practice, not only in game-like situations, but in the drills, is definitely there.
"It is a fun team. While they are going through the process of getting to know each other and trying to figure out there identity they are having a good time."
Rosenthal admits he doesn't have a lot of rules for his team, but one of them is no cell phones during team meals. A violation prompted an extra session of running during Tuesday's practice.
"There is a team aspect,'' said Rosenthal. "You are no longer an individual. You are part of something bigger."

Sticky Notes: Post-it Notes and Much More
The inventors of the Post-it were just inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, as organizer Jane Campbell pointed out on Twitter. The Post-it product range is pretty darn large; "Post-it Notes are now available in eight standard sizes, 25 shapes and 62 colors." But sometimes you might want to consider another product.
Jane asked about Post-its with carbonless copies - and while that type of Post-it doesn't seem to exist, you can get carbonless copy sticky notes made by Rediform. [via Lifehacker] Update on Oct. 3, 2012: I'm no longer finding this product.
MegaSticky provides giant sticky note pads, called Genius Pads, which measure 30cm x 30cm (11.81" x 11.81"). (Post-it also has a number of large pads, but nothing the size of the Genius Pads.)
For pretty sticky notes in a range of patterns, head over to Cavallini & Co; the company's products are sold many places on the web.
The Unemployed Philosophers Guild has sticky notes featuring a number of famous people: Shakespeare, Frida Kahlo, Einstein, Freud, etc.
Fans of David Allen's Getting Things Done might especially appreciate these sticky notes, provided by From Piles to Smiles, which ask, "What's the next action?"
Or you could get origami sticky notes - notes with folding instructions on each sheet. Again, a number of sites sell these, including ThinkGeek.
And finally, over in Japan, you can get these exquisite fruit-shaped sticky notes - available individually or by the case. [via sub-studio and TokyoMango]

Haha the pear one is so cute! Personally, I think Post It! is expensive for sticky notes. Unless it's just Staples that is expensive. I buy these sticky notes when they are on sale and by bulk so it wouldn't be so pricey.

These are great, Jeri. I'm especially impressed with the Rediform carbonless ones, though I shall hide them from my sticky-note-addicted clients.
As you know, I tend to call all those lost, unattached, incomplete notes "floozies" when I'm working with clients, but I have to admit I crave them just as they do. But I force myself to use them only as labels and mini-cover-sheets to get to the right person, because I know what dangers lie when important information lands on teeny tiny paper. I know...and yet I want them all the same.
Thanks for the excellent showcase!

None, prices will certainly vary from store to store - but Post-its might still be more expensive (at least when not on sale) than some other sticky notes.
Besides price, another possible consideration when deciding between Post-its and other brands is the quality. Here's a quote from the article I linked to:
Fry is briefly excited when he notices a reporter taking notes on a pad of sticky notes, then shakes his head sadly when he begins to suspect that he's seeing not the real deal with 3M adhesive -- discovered by Silver and made ubiquitous by Fry -- but a knockoff.
He reaches over and peels off a pale yellow sheet, holding it aloft for inspection.
"Our paper doesn't curl like that."

Julie, I know just what you mean. I always hesitate just a bit before writing about sticky notes, because it is so easy to misuse them. But they can serve plenty of useful purposes, too, so I go ahead and post.

To paraphrase a famous slogan: "Sticky notes don't create chaos for people; people create chaos for people."
I say this, I'm so sorry to admit, while sitting at my computer desk which currently holds twelve tiny sticky notes with truly important information on them. And six index cards (both sides full). And about two dozen more index cards in a pile nearby. Sigh. Yet another challenge to be conquered.

The letter advises priests that Dignity should receive no support
because "they espoused a position contrary to Catholic moral teaching
supporting that (sic) moral correctness of sexual relations between
two persons of the same sex in a 'faithful and loving relationship.'"
Dignity/USA President Marianne Duddy, a Boston resident, commented,
"We certainly did not expect the support of the Archdiocese -- I think
it's safe to acknowledge that we disagree on certain questions of
sexual morality. However, this prohibition goes far beyond a lack of
support. It's a clear statement that the Church in Boston refuses to
even have dialogue with us. I would have hoped, in these days of the
late Cardinal Bernadin's Common Ground initiative, we would be beyond
this kind of pettiness.
This letter also prevents local priests from exercising their own
best pastoral judgment. The Dignity Convention will offer significant
resources for priests seeking to better understand gay and lesbian
Catholics in their parishes, for parents and family members of gay and
lesbian Catholics, and, importantly, for gay and lesbian people who
are struggling to remain connected to the Church. Bishop Murphy has
effectively obliterated access to this resource."
Lourdes Rodriguez, another Boston resident and co-chair of Dignity's
Convention Planning Committee, responded, "This letter shows precisely
why Dignity has to exist. The Church hierarchy has refused to accept
gay and lesbian people. The Dignity Convention is a place where
people will feel embraced by a loving God, instead of rejected by
Church officials. It makes the Convention even more important. Where
else will the children of God get what they need?"
Dignity's convention features internationally known speakers such as
Dr. Elizabeth Stuart, Chris Glaser, and Dr. Mary Hunt, and will draw
participation from throughout the US and Canada. Comedienne Kate
Clinton will perform a special show. In addition, the Convention
offers nearly two dozen workshops on topics such as "Pastoral Care for
People with AIDS" and the "Role of Straight People in the Gay Movement."
It will be held at the Park Plaza Hotel.
Dignity's Boston Chapter celebrates its 25th Anniversary this year.
Chapter President Michael J. Leclerc expressed dismay about the letter
from the Archdiocese, noting, "This is another example of how the
hierarchy is out of touch with the people who are the Church. What a
shame they felt the need to do this."

Called...Prophets to the World," call Dignity/USA at 1-800-877-8797,

Postponing to after 1.0.1.
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-08-01T15:02:36.000+0000
We should resolve this for 1.1.0.
Posted by Simon Mundy (peptolab) on 2007-09-27T17:44:42.000+0000
But why is this a problem? The rule is satisfied by the Child role and since there is no ACL specifically for Parents on the Toy then Zend_Acl returns true.
Wouldn't performance suffer if Zend_Acl iterates through the whole inheritance only to come to the same conclusion that it did in the first place? Or do you see a use case where a custom Assertion will need to query this hierarchy to supply a more qualitative answer?
Posted by Ralph Schindler (ralph) on 2007-09-28T11:49:12.000+0000
Hey Simon, The problem i specifically notice (from above) is in test case number 3. If I am writing custom assertions, then my assertion (if applied) should always get the exact object that i proposed when i asked if it "isAllowed".

$acl->isAllowed($mommy, 'Toy', 'Play'); // where mommy is of type (class Acl_Parent)
I should expect any assertions that were triggered as a result of that exact query should indeed get teh exact object i passed into the query. The reason for that expectation is in case I want to call some Acl_Parent specific methods in order to assert that what is queried should be allowed or not.
I see no direct performance impact, its simply a matter of whats being passed to the assertion.
as far as this statement: > Or do you see a use case where a custom Assertion will need to query this hierarchy to supply a more qualitative answer?
Assertions don't query the inheritance chain, its actually the other way around, currently the inheritance chain is iterated in order to trigger the appropriate assertion.
make sense?
Posted by Martin Pärtel (lagitus) on 2008-07-01T10:14:48.000+0000
This is still not fixed in 1.5.2, and is still quite irritating when trying to write any non-trivial assertions.
One workaround: Inherit Zend_Acl, override isAllowed(), store the parameters in a private member and make them available through a new method, say, "getLastRequest()". Then, in an assertion, get them using something like: list($role, $resource, $privilege) = $acl->getLastRequest();
(It's a good idea to make sure getLastRequest() always returns objects, even if a string was passed to isAllowed().)

Congratulations to campaigning MP (and fellow blogger) Tom Watson for exposing the bullying of women members of staff at the tabloid Sun.
According to Watson, Sun editor Dominic Mohan, told the Leveson enquiry "it is wrong to suggest that the Sun trivialises offences against women."
Not so, says Watson, and I know who I believe. Watson tells us on his blog he has inside knowledge that at least five female journalists on the paper have been sacked in the last eight years. At least two of the sacked women went on to win compensation after challenging their dismissals. Two out of five strikes me as a high percentage and provides strong evidence of serious discrimination against female employees.
More recently, Whitehall editor at the Sun Clodagh Hartley had a complaint of bullying against her upheld by an independent adjudicator. This will, of course, be of great concern the beleaguered Mohan, who has a lot on his plate after the recent arrests of Mike Sullivan, the paper's crime editor; the former managing editor, Graham Dudman; executive editor, Fergus Shanahan; and Chris Pharo, a news desk executive.
Appalling though this is, unfortunately it's not the whole story. The Sun still publishes topless and virtually naked women on page three – a practice deeply disrespectful to women, which I believe should immediately be consigned to the scrapheap.
The Sun is not just a newspaper, it's theUK's largest selling national daily with a circulation of 7,774,000. It's our most popular newspaper and it behaves in a totally unacceptable way towards its female staff. It also publishes demeaning images of women.
I wholeheartedly agree with the four women's groups – End Violence Against Women, Equality Now, Object and Eaves – who appeared before the Leveson inquiry arguing that the Sun should ban sexualised images which would not be shown on television before the 9.00pm watershed. As Former Labour MP Clare Short, who has campaigned against page three, said in the Guardian "The bottom line is that pictures that would not be permissible in the workplace or on broadcast media before the watershed can still be published in a daily newspaper."
What is more, the newspaper reading public do not want page three, perhaps understanding how degrading it is to women. According to the Huffington Post, Platform 51, formerly the Young Women's Christian Association, commissioned a nationally representative poll which showed that twice as many women would support a ban on pictures of topless women appearing in daily newspapers as would oppose it. And it's not just women. Almost a third of the men questioned also supported a ban.
So it's actually the Sun "wot 'as got it wrong".
Disrespect to women and actions such as bullying at work and publishing pictures of undressed women are no longer acceptable. Thankfully the world has moved on from the 1970s when the Sun introduced page three. It's about time the Sun itself caught up with the modern world.

For a very brief moment, Quiet Riot was a rock & roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the pop chart (a claim that greatly depends on one's exact definition of heavy metal), the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album Metal Health. But Quiet Riot's road to success had in fact been long and arduous, and when their star power subsequently began to fade, their fall from grace was ironically accelerated by the man who was most responsible for taking them to the top: singer Kevin DuBrow.

Is there any way I can pay you to create something like that for me and my summit so I can add rear steering and a winch?
I have sent you a PM.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Sweeeeeeet man really enjoyed your project. Very nice workman ship
Could you add a third battery box to the bottom for batteries? Looks awesome though.
Thanks Litfuse!!
I could add a battery box to the bottom... but I found a battery that will fit in the handle. This is allow the controller to look almost stock... except for all the switches and the extra LED and buttons. The battery is finally in stock overseas, but I have the order through the USA warehouse. Once it is in stock and I have all my parts (more still on back order) I will show the final product... maybe even with some video.
Speaking of which...
I have a few options with the battery... only charge it up to 6v or use a small UBEC so it only sees 6v.
If I do not get enough life out of the LiFe battery only charging to 6v, I will use the UBEC.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Great work Jimmie, I really like how you've stuck to trying to keep it stock! That's what makes it so fun imo =)
You interested in showing me what it looks with the case open? I'm certainly interested in seeing! Hahaha.
I mentioned to you in PM a while ago that I was looking to just unlock further channels from within the remote itself (did it with the 27mhz stocker with my Merv) but after thinking and seeing your dual radio setup, that's much better as you get another 5 channels! $30-40 for a new RX is one thing, but I'm curious how much of the second remote you used inside.
Just the board was used from the second remote... maybe a few of the wires.
It is possible to use the trim and multi-knob as well, but you would have to sacrifice the LCD display for voltage.
You really don't need the features that those knobs provide anyway. Not with the Summit anyway.
I am still waiting for those parts... as well as the battery.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I've just ripped open my TQi (what a pain, it's 4 pieces!) and I've figured how to lock and unlock the front or rear diffs, so I'll make two switches one for front and one for rear lock, that way I can have.... more control haha.
It is a different board from the TQ's it's two boards in one soldered awkwardly so I'm thinking I might look around at other remotes to see what's inside of them for making a dual radio, radio.
I would like to use the throttle and steering from another system to make a camera rig, I figured two servos would work.. throttle channel makes one servo pitch up and down, then steering makes makes a servo connected to the first one pan left and right! I have two water proof 2080's from the Merv that I think would be up to the task. I could get a joystick switch to control them both, that'd be pretty sold - I have one from one of those cheap helicopter controllers - it would be pan AND tilt in one control, that'd be pretty slick.
I think if you split it into two switches you still can only have one activated at a time.
(channels 4 & 5)
Unless they have changed from LINK to TQi...
How the LINK works:
When the switch is all the way up...
the lockers are off/off (front/rear) and the servos are activated/unactivated
When the switch is in the middle...
the lockers are on/off (front/rear) and both servos are unactivated
When the switch is in the lower position...
the lockers are on/on (front/rear) and the servos are unactivated/activated

Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Right I have TQi so it looks like this:
Pos 1: 0 1
Pos 2: 0 0
Pos 3: 1 0
I can make a switch for 0 0 and 0 1
I can make a switch for 1 0 and 1 1
There are two inputs to the microchip, they are controlled by low high, low low, high low.
I've already done it by shorting them with my pliars haha, but I can certainly activate the front OR the rear, individually. My only explanation as to why they did it this way was because it was cheaper to use only ONE switch (3-way) and drill only one hole, and one set of wires etc.. to keep the cost down.
So a switch that controls the front, or the rear, is 100% possible .. I just need to find the right hardware for it - why do these things always happen on a SUNDAY! Hahah
I'm curious about your rocker switches, those guys are usually pretty deep, did you order shallow specific, or was the depth not an issue?
I just re-read all of this thread again, so awesome until I read my posts! Who is this idiot? Oh that's me... hahahaha
ANYWAY after tackling a similar TWO remotes in one project, I have much more respect for this! It's truly great, I'm very impressed with what you've done! Those switches are so gorgeous too.. man I was at a shop (Sayal) to find some switches and they had allllllllllllllll kinds probably 150 but NONE were rockers that would fit other than the mini's I posted pics of recently.
I'm writing again not only to say, "wow I really love your project more now than ever" but also to say that my 0 1, 0 0 , 1 0... idea is correct up until I try to do 1 1.
The software won't accept it, so it defaults back to 0 0, which is "front locked, rear unlocked" and there's just nothing to be done without getting in to the software, and I'm pretty sure they'd have it locked as well. SO incase anyone reads this, it is certainly NOT possible to get channels 4 and 5 to work independently of each other, at least as far as I could figure.
Thanks for the support, Krall... it is appreciated!
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I have finally found the end of my patience in waiting for this battery to complete this project... ordered one from a gouger on eBay... it totally sucked paying $10 for a battery I can get for $3.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Hahah patience is killer! You've ended up paying almost 250% more than you needed to! .... but still only paid $10 hahah
I'm waiting on a reply from this place in China for my voltmeter shipping cost, been two days already and it's not even been ordered, uh yi yi.
It came in!
Holy moley this thing is small!!
Still, it barely fits in the handle.... I will start installing it tomorrow.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
...... And!?
What?? Don't like suspense??
The wee little battery
Carved out a spot
Fits in there pretty snug
Here she is... being fed 6.8v right now
I have not tested beyond power up yet. Hopefully tomorrow... schedule permitting.
I did get a chance to fix the antenna my daughter snapped off. It is no longer flexible... I have enlarged the hole for a small piece of copper tubing to fit into it. Nothing is glued, just a friction fit.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I just saw this! Awesome, it's probably lighter now than it was with the 4aa's even though you have two boards in there!
I think my next trip to Harbor Freight is going to include some scales so...
1) I can even out the weight on each tire of an RC to even out the weight distribution
2) I can weigh stuff like this and get a accurate reading over "feel"
But I do think it is a wee bit heavier... but not by much.
That LiFe battery is very light.
So far, I have gotten about 3-4 hours of use out of it....
and it reads 6.41v; so it has dropped about .1v per hour.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Selling the project!!
Just moving on to another radio project...
Need the money to fund my addiction! lol
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
That's a totally awesome price! For the amount of ingenuity and time involved in this, that should ship fast! This will allow people who don't know anything about electronics or have the guts to mess with it, to do so much more with their cars!! Good luck with the sale!
Thanks Krall!
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I think you could've saved some fabrication time by going this route (replace Call of Duty guns with remotes)
Sig edited for awesomeness. NC
The fab work is half the fun!
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
*most... of the fun!
C'mon Krall... let's be honest.... it is all the fun.
I bought the Summit to mod it... to tinker with it. I have spent way more time doing that than running it.... and while I run it all I think about is tinkering with it.
How long as your Summit been under the wrench?? lol
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
...... shush!
But to be honest, I have no more than 4 hours driving time with it, since I bought it in April. BUT that's about 60+ tests throughout haha.
hey Jimmie,
I have found an easier way to 8 channel, take a look on example 4wheel crab and No crab, shift, diff front, diff rear :
It is a GT3/C 3-channel with Hack and special firmware to 8 channel with very many functions, also channel mix!!
another advantage, weight is only 330g including Lipo Accu!! Is perfect for Summit...

Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
To answer my own question; yes, yes it does.
Sorry all the pictures have stopped working. I no longer have them or the radio.

What about you? Still around?
Sorta... I don't surf here as much... or anywhere really. I will be getting back into the hobby here before too long. Just had some very major changes in my life to deal with so a lot of things were put on hold.

You and I both! I'm planning on getting back to it in the new year as well.
Until then! =D
Sounds like interesting work Jimmy, although I could not see the photos, I just stumbled upon this thread. I'm working on my own radio system as well, 8-channels with very long range and LCD control screen. I'll post photos/videos once it's all completed.
Well this is the year I've gotten back in to it Jimmy! You still around? I'm gathering parts and doing a bunch of behind the scenes work before I get back to posting =D
I'm still around... just not anywhere near as active as I used to be in the hobby. I still answer PM's and respond to thread comments as necessary though.
I hope to eventually get back into it... too much "life" is taking priority at this point.
I look forward to seeing posts on your threads pop up in my email. If I don't comment, please bring it to my attention via PM. I don't want to miss out!
