The most decorated Olympian of all time can now add another sports win to his roster.
Michael Phelps and 2004 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Hal Sutton, 1995 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Lanny Wadkins and actor and comedian George Lopez won the first-ever 2012 Ryder Cup Captains and Celebrity Scramble on Tuesday.
After posting a score of 9-under par, the foursome bested other teams featuring past Ryder Cup Captains, celebrities and local Chicago sports heroes in the event at the Medinah Country Club.
"This is fun. It's fun to clown around," said actor Bill Murray, well-known for his appearance in the Caddyshack movie. "It's a great event."
The event had former cup captains teaming up with sports legends and celebrities for 10 holes that had fans cheering and laughing.
The celebrities included Murray, Lopez and Justin Timberlake. They were joined by Chicago sports legends Ernie Banks, Richard Dent, Stan Mikita, Robbie Gould and Scottie Pippen. Participating captains included Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, Tom Lehman, Corey Pavin, Dave Stockton, Hal Sutton, Lee Trevino and Lanny Wadkins.
The team of Lehman, Stockton, Timberlake and Murray finished 6-under par, as did the team of Pavin, Trevino, Gould and Mikita. The team of Kit, Crenshaw, Pippen and Dent finished 2-under par.
"Our participating celebrities and past Ryder Cup Captains are excited to bring their best golf games to Medinah," Ryder Cup Director Michael Belot said before the event.
Timberlake earlier this summer was named first-ever Ryder Cup U.S. Ambassador, and Olympic medalist Phelps is scheduled to star in the Golf Channel's "The Haney Project." Lopez will also perform at the Akoo Theatre at the Ryder Cup Gala on Sept. 26.

Recently Revised Label for Marketed Calcitonin Products Has Helped Clarify the Regulatory Landscape in the U.S.
Industry Veteran Nicholas LaBella Joins Tarsa as Vice President, Global Regulatory Affairs and Will Oversee the NDA Submission Process
PHILADELPHIA, PA – May 29, 2014 — Tarsa Therapeutics, Inc. today announced that it raised $7 million to prepare for filing a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Ostora, its oral calcitonin tablet for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The financing is the second tranche of a Series B round Tarsa announced in May, 2012. All of Tarsa's existing investors participated in the financing, including Foresite Capital, MVM Life Science Partners, Quaker Partners and Novo A/S.
Separately, Tarsa announced that Nicholas A. LaBella, Jr., MS, RPh, has joined the company as Vice President, Global Regulatory Affairs.
In a Phase III global, randomized, double-blind trial in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, known as the ORACAL trial, Tarsa's once-daily oral calcitonin demonstrated superiority to both placebo and nasal calcitonin spray in increasing bone mineral density at the lumbar spine after 48 weeks. In the trial, the safety profile of Ostora did not substantially differ from nasal calcitonin or placebo. The trial results were published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
"Osteoporosis is a leading cause of disability, yet our aging population has limited choices for the treatment of this potentially devastating condition," noted David Brand, President and CEO of Tarsa. "We were encouraged by the FDA's recent decision to allow the continued availability of nasal spray and injectable calcitonin for the treatment of osteoporosis. Calcitonin has been shown to have a modest but consistent positive effect on bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, and we believe Ostora may be an attractive therapeutic option for many of the at-risk women who cannot or will not take other therapies."
According to a recent journal article, prescriptions for oral bisphosphonates, the most commonly used class of drugs for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, fell by 53% between 2008 and 2012 (Wysowski et al., J Bone Min Res 2013).
Mr. Brand added, "We appreciate the continued support of our investors as we look forward to filing our NDA currently targeted for early 2015."
In 2012, the European Medicines Agency suspended the Marketing Authorization for calcitonin nasal spray and limited the duration of use of other calcitonin products, due to a purported association with cancer. In a plenary poster session at the 2013 American Society of Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Annual Meeting, Tarsa presented a new meta-analysis based on 24 randomized, controlled calcitonin trials showing that salmon calcitonin does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of cancer, At the 2012 ASBMR Annual Meeting, Tarsa presented clinical data from two one-year studies that enrolled nearly 700 postmenopausal women and reported there was no carcinogenicity signal for its oral calcitonin.
The FDA's "Questions and Answers: Changes to the Indicated Population for Miacalcin (calcitonin-salmon)"issued onMarch 11, 2014, reported that "The FDA's review of these products found there is no conclusive evidence of a causal relationship between the use of these products (calcitonin) and cancer…We recommend that health care professionals assess a patient's need for osteoporosis therapy, as well as the benefits and risks of available treatments."
Mr. LaBella brings more than 30 years of diverse hands-on experience in managing R&D, clinical operations and regulatory affairs at leading biopharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations. He previously held positions of increasing responsibility at Insmed, Cardiokine, Pharmanet, Medex, Watson, Circa, Bolar and Sandoz.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Nick in the past and am delighted he will be leading the charge as we prepare to file the NDA submission for Ostora," said Mr. Brand. "Nick's varied clinical experience and past success in managing regulatory submissions make him well-suited for this important role."
About Tarsa Therapeutics
Tarsa is developing Ostora, a novel oral formulation of calcitonin for the treatment and prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. This product has the potential to be the first approved oral calcitonin, a natural hormone with a long history of safety and efficacy as an osteoporosis therapy. Tarsa is based in Philadelphia, PA.

Sometimes I like to tell you the story of how I came to read a book, because the story is so coincidental, and the book is so amazing, it's as if divine intervention put the book in your hands. You didn't choose it, it chose you and there's really not a whole lot you could have done about it. Now, I requested Love is the Higher Law from the library, so I had some hand in it, but I never expected to read it the day I picked it up from the library, I never expected to read it one sitting, I never expected to love it. I requested a random book from David Levithan simply because I know Will Grayson, Will Grayson, a join effort by Levithan and John Green, is out and I wanted to be at least a little familiar with Levithan. I picked Love is the Higher Law, because I had seen a good review over at Bending Bookshelf and I had little interest in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Plus, Love is the Higher Law is an awesome title. I only started reading it as soon as I got it because the library lost one of my holds and went searching for it. So, what does a person like me do when they have to wait somewhere for a long time? We read.
And I read. And then I got in my car and all I wanted to do was keep reading. Then I got home and I read and I read. I cried a little. And then I read some more until the book was over and all I wanted to do was keep talking about it. Maybe I'm a sucker for books about September 11, but I can't help it. 10 years later, I still want to tell you where I was and what I was doing. And I still want to talk about how none of my sisters remember it at all because they are so young, and that, among everything else, will probably define where our generation ends and begins. Because I remember what it was like before.
The point is that, not only do I want to tell you, but I want to hear it. I want to hear where you were, and what you were doing and how this huge thing changed your life. That's what David Levithan does with Love is the Higher Law. Essentially, this book is about grief. It's about grief that's bigger than one person, than one family, than one city. It's about a grief that holds over an entire country, but that each individual person feels acutely in some way, shape or form. Yes, this book has plot and there are characters, but who the characters are doesn't really matter, because it could be you or me or your next door neighbor. The thing about grief is that it is the most universal and yet most individual feeling in the world. Explaining what grief feels like seems impossible, it's too much bigger than words. Somehow, though, David Levithan manages to make this a story that's even bigger that September 11 by the end. This book is about 3 New York teenagers who are trying to sort through their feelings about what happened, while at the same time dealing with going away to college for the first time and trying to find love.
Claire, Jasper and Peter become friends through coincidences. Claire and Peter are acquaintances at school, who are both at a friend's party. Jasper is there too, a friend of another friend. Jasper and Peter have a flirtation that does not end well. Jasper and Claire randomly meet each other again and have beautiful conversations. They form an odd friendship, the three of them, but it is the best kind of friendship. How it began is too coincidental, too strange to even seem real.
The narration switches from three main characters and I think out of all of them, Jasper was the strongest. I would have liked more Claire and Peter, but Jasper really carried this book. More than anything, I think the alternating voices give different perspective to the event itself. Claire was at school, but ended up leaving to find her little brother. They walked with the rest of the elementary school to a safer part of the city and her description of what that was like was absolutely terrifying. Jasper was house sitting for his parents, who are visiting family in Korea, and slept through the whole thing. Can you imagine going to sleep and waking up to find the entire world has changed?
If I could, I would quote this whole book to you. But I will settle with this conversation:
She went on, "There's the drown of things and the swim of things, I guess. I've been going back and forth, back and forth. I feel the weight of it. […] Have you talked to people about this?" Claire asked me. "I mean, about what happened? I've tried, but it never works. I don't know what I want from it, but I'm never satisfied. I can't talk to my mom about it. And even my friends are strange to talk to, because they're all caught up in their own versions, and every time I bring it up, they make it about them."
I almost forgot she'd asked me a question. Then she paused, and I said, "Oh. Me? I haven't really talked to anyone…. I mean, what's the point?"
This wasn't really a question meant to be answered, but Claire looked out to the water and gave it a shot.
"I think the point is to realize you're not alone." (103)
I think everyone should read this book, because we're not done talking about September 11th. We're going to have to explain to kids what it was and what it meant and how things were different before. How will we do that? How will I explain to my children where I was and what I was doing and how confusing and terrifying it was for a 12-year-old? There are no answers to those questions, I know that. The readers who are the target audience for this book are kids like my sisters, they were there, but they probably don't remember it too well. This book will explain something, will explain the loss we all felt. But they aren't the only ones who should be reading it, so please, get out there, grab this book and read it. It's beautiful and heart breaking and one of the best novels I've read this year.
So go read this!: NOW| tomorrow | next week | next month | next year | when you've exhausted your TBR

Just needing to vent (er, I mean lament) over the impending demise of Google Reader. Like so many others, I had been a very happy and active user of Reader for several years — particularly to keep up with the genealogy blogging community. After Google made the announcement of the death of Reader, I let the dust settle for a few days and then started looking for a replacement. I've since found one that I'm pretty happy with – and I'll get to that later. The main problem in this situation, however, is that having to research and come up with an alternative to Reader wasn't something I was anticipating having to do.
This is the second time that I've felt like Google has pulled the rug out from under me. The first was when they abandoned the newspaper archive project. I used that extensively in my genealogy research. I could have better understood if they abandoned the scanning, indexing and adding of new content to the archive while leaving the search mechanism intact. But they pulled the archive search box too. Yes, the newspapers are still available, but searching them is now so much more convoluted. And we have no guarantee as to how long the existing newspaper archive will remain available.
Both times Google has used the excuse that the popularity of these services is too low to justify maintaining them. I can maybe believe that with regard to the newspaper archive, but with Reader? Really? If that's the case why are so many complaining about it on blogs, websites and even G+?
Then, virtually before the ink was dry on the press release announcing the end of Reader, Google announced a new service called Keep. This one apparently is in direct competition with the very popular Evernote. Honestly, I'm not sure I even want to give it a try. I'm afraid if I like it and start relying on it, they'll stop supporting it too! Or maybe it's just me being overly cynical.
But back to the Reader replacement. I chose to go with Feedly and I am slowly getting used to it. I've actually been trying out some of the different layouts just for something a little different. Eventually I'll probably even prefer it to Reader. Eventually.

What did the ancient world of the people of Easter Island look like? Earthwatchers helped researchers unearth and recreate it.
Have a question?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
On one of the most remote islands on Earth, our volunteers discovered the sophisticated agricultural practices the people of Easter Island used to survive.
Earthwatch teams worked in a beautiful landscape amid the warm sea breezes on Easter Island's coasts, searching for prehistoric gardens, livestock enclosures, and agricultural fields. Under the gaze of the giant stone moai, they conducted surface surveys, took photographs and GPS coordinates, measured stone features and cleared grass, and dug test pits in gardens to document the evolution of farming on the island. The artifacts they found shed light on the lives of Easter Island's original inhabitants, their culture, and its ultimate fate in the face of harsh environmental conditions and European disruption.
Teams also helped conduct controlled cultivation experiments to evaluate how effective the prehistoric lithic (stone) mulching system was in feeding the inhabitants of the island and to explore the implications this might have had for the social development of Easter Island. They created a botanical reserve for plants at risk, and participated in reforesting critically eroded areas of the island.
In modern times, erosion accelerated, while previously successful technologies have been forgotten and abandoned.
Volunteers explored whether or not ancient agricultural practices could help contemporary residents of Easter Island better manage their agricultural needs.
The massive stone sculptures (moai) that dot this remote Polynesian island have perplexed explorers for centuries. Usually facing the vast, open ocean, the statues offer mute testimony to a nearly vanished civilization. These famous giants are not the entire story of Easter Island, however. Prior to disastrous changes here in the 17th century, the islanders enjoyed a millennium of peace and prosperity, secured through innovative farming techniques.
Easter Island has suffered from heavy soil erosion in recent centuries, making agriculture difficult. Traditionally, the inhabitants mitigated this problem with an efficient agricultural system based on rock gardens. In modern times, however, erosion has accelerated as these previously successful technologies have been all but forgotten.
Earthwatchers discovered the sophisticated agriculture practices used by an ancient civilization.
On this expedition, Earthwatchers helped researchers examine the role of prehistoric rock mulching and rock placement in gardens and agricultural systems as ways of creating a sustainable agricultural system. They also helped conduct experiments to assess whether and how this prehistoric technology could be reintroduced on the island today.
Easter Island is a special territory of Chile, located 2,300 miles (3,700 kilometers) west of Santiago. The island is a triangle composed of three volcanoes; the research area consisted of the upland region and the surrounding terrain located on the island's central volcano.
Prehistoric field systems are located on the slopes of the volcano. The agricultural fields are identifiable by the surface concentrations of rocks and small boulders. Domestic sites, represented by small stone arrangements, are located between the gardens. Caves, petroglyphs, and reconstructed and unreconstructed ceremonial centers are nearby.
Easter Island's coastal temples (ahu) and statue (moai) quarries are large, impressive, and unforgettable. The archaeology of domestic life is also rich in detail.
This is a summary:
At the beginning of the expedition, Earthwatch teams received training on field survey methods, which included how to recognize sites; document them with photos, maps, and drawings; and use GPS devices. They took guided tours through rock garden sites. Then, they spent the rest of the expedition surveying in the field and constructing and maintaining a rock garden. Most evenings, they heard from experts about Easter Island prehistory, human–plant interactions on the island, and results of the project's previous research.
Earthwatchers spent two days on an archaeological tour of the major monuments of the island, which included the ceremonial site of Orongo on top of the Rano Kau volcano, the statue quarry at Rano Raraku, and many elaborate ahu (temples), including Ahu Vinapu, one of the largest on the island.
Note: Field conditions and research needs can lead to changes in the itinerary and activities. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Volunteer for an archaeological adventure on Easter Island.
Earthwatch researcher Sonia Haoa Cardinali was born on Easter Island; she is the island's coordinator of national monuments and a leader in the preservation of its heritage.
You'll stay in cozy double rooms at Refugio Arqueológico, a small, family-run guesthouse and German archaeological team center, located about a 20-minute walk from Hanga Roa, the only town on Easter Island. The house has a fine common room, dining room, garden, and conventional bathroom facilities, but electricity, propane, and water are expensive––so expect to conserve.
The cook, Amelia, and her staff take care of all the food preparation and housekeeping duties. During off-hours, volunteers may use the kitchen to prepare beverages, and a refrigerator is available to hold drinks. Bring your favorite small trail or field food—and some to share!—as such food can be great for the field and hard to obtain on site. You'll eat all meals together with staff at the Refugio.

This was probably the most physically demanding expedition I've been on: we each had a couple of days of archeology, and the remainder of it involved either planting trees or working at the CONAF site getting the trees ready for planting. We got to work all over the island, including the inside slope of Rano Kau. Prepping the trees including weeding, planting seeds, and sorting plants. Planting the trees involved digging the holes, planting the trees, fertilizing, stabilizing with rocks, and then GPSing each one for later followup.
The place we stayed, Mama Vicki's house, was the best accommodation I've been in on an expedition. The food was excellent, the rooms were nice, each room had their own bathroom, and there was a wonderful porch for after-work visiting.
Our first weekend day included a really comprehensive tour of all the sites on the island. The second day was a pretty strenuous hike along the north side of the island, to see parts that don't normally get included in the tours. It was interesting, but not for the faint of heart or uncertain of foot.
The evening talks were dependent on who was on the island at the time, but were pretty interesting.
Sonia was a fabulous PI, I really enjoyed working for her.

Usually those places are either too far from the cell phone base station or located inside underground constructions, for example: Cell Phone Signal Booster For Remote Areas, rural areas, parking lots, tunnels, big stores, office buildings, cars, boats, house in remote areas, etc. Here we will bring you a new kind of LED signal booster. Welcome to buy!

7. What is Mobile Phone Signal Booster?
The basic motto of a cell phone signal booster is to give a specific cell signal either inside or outside like your home, office, vehicle or any other area as it's amplified the signals & then broadcast it to any place which has no signal or weak signal. Unfortunately, we are facing many issues because of signals everyday that is why it's really important to use this wonderful device for powerful signals to your cell phone. From where the actual need comes to using a mobile signal booster? Before the times, call rates of the all companies are very high, but the signals are good because everywhere has a tower but now all the companies of SIM card provide very cheap call rates or some affords free calls to their customers. Therefore, the numbers of towers are less and at last users are facing low signals trouble and nowadays there are many problems occurred to locating any tower. So, it's better to switch on this gadget named as mobile phone signal booster and enjoyed your conversation with your loved ones.8. Why we need Mobile Phone Signal Booster?
Every mobile phone company spent big money to locate their towers like the rates of the particular area where the
tower has situated is very high at these times. Next one is band spectrum that also very expensive as companies
purchase it from the government and at last the approximately charges to locating a tower is 10, 00000 Lakhs. For
example, a limit for one spectrum is only 1000 users, but the mobile phone companies add 1, 00000 Lakhs users
that is why the chances of call dropping are enhanced and you facing hassle. Mobile companies invest lots of
money for towers therefore they have nothing remains, and then they adopt some shortcuts for their advantage,
which are only give you lose. The call dropping issue is never ever fine because the towers are less & users are
increasing day by day so there only one solution left for you that is a mobile phone signal booster. Our company
also install big towers for companies, small towers along with mobile phone signal boosters as well as we don't
only providers of this gadget but also install & create accurate signals for our customers. A middle class family
doesn't afford a tower because it's really expensive, that is why we provide them a unique solution for their
problem which is mobile phone signal booster as the user easily put it on their terrace or any other place where
they want because it's very handy. The towers also give a harmful wave that dangerous for our health that is why
from many residential areas towers are removed & if the towers are less than call dropping issues are boost
therefore a mobile phone signal booster is best way to resolve this problem. Our company is no 1 in Asia as you
don't get our products from anywhere because we are the brand therefore only sell quality products. We are
resolving your problem and query related to any service at next 24 hours. If you go some another place to

In today's life style, mobile phones are playing a vital role for every person's life. We all see the cell phone towers at every area as it also called as base stations as each station abide the power of 10 -100 W. Every base station handles the cell signals up to 30 km in the rural area & 500m in urban area as it is helps for internet data, other wireless networks and mobile phone calls. The every base station is connected to a single switch in the specific region as each region have their own switch to manage the signals or calls from all the base stations as this switch is connected to another switch in another region.9. How it works?
This device can simply cover the area of 13000 sq ft and also it amplifies the signals to different cell phones at the same time. It's a wireless gadget so it's very handy to use as well as this gadget not affected by any climate change. In order to get the specific enough strong signals for usage of your mobile phone, the phone amplifier was invented. It's very special gadget to build up the signals that automatically come from the base station itself to your phone. It creates a copy of a signal & then transmits it to any mobile phone, the gap between the base stations to an amplifier must be lesser than 35 km. Once signals are received throughout an amplifier, the gadget amplifies it, then amplified signals are passed via second coaxial cable to the inside antenna. At last, the amplified signals are transmitted to your mobile phone. This gadget is also available in the compact size so any user can simply carry out it anywhere that's making it user friendly tool.

I guess you're on the correct path on the other issues!..
Bad calibrated Gyros and Brownout caused of the bec.
The MegaBased boards is sensitive to voltage drop and reboots.
I have tested and ended up in a tree.. (Two times)
The board can lock up in boot the sequence if ARM is AUX controlled.
Small MG-servos is thirsty for power.
At least a large Cap on FC is recommended.( ~3300 or larger. )
Best is separate bec's for FC and servos.
As i understand you use / prefer GPS bearing instead of mag for RTH.
Plüschi wrote:I think GPS heading is superior because MAG is affected by electrical current flowing nearby. Unless you have a sailplane or an external mag (like dji) mag readings are not very reliable.
Gyro angles are in the plane coordinate system. Gps heading is on a horizontal plane. A fusion of gps and gyro needs a 3D rotation of the beraing vector into the plane coordinate system. I have no idea how to do that. The "small angle rotation" used in "imu.cpp" doesent work since angles are not small. Mag calculation is simpler because mag comes in the plane coordinate system. Gps bearing does not.
Plüschi wrote:If you use only yaw gyro and calculate in a 2D plane you will get wrong results if the plane is banking. Imagine a plane doing a steep 180deg turn with wings nearly vertical. Yaw gyro wont register anything at all, only pitch gyro will scream.

Plüschi wrote:The mag - gyro fusion is already done in the current imu. Gyro is a relative value, mag an absolute. But mag and gps are both absolute values, how are you going to fuse them?
Plüschi wrote:In the experiment with the pockedquad "magless HH" code the mpu6050 gyros did show an astonishing performance. We got deviations of less than 5 deg per minute with full-res readings (pocketquad build or baseflight). Those gyros are good enough for very very slow turns.
I guess MWii still uses 256 resolution. This will somewhat destroy performance, but this is easy to modify to 4096.

myheading += myheadingdelta * 0.01391;// 57/4096
Result is in deg. This is experimental with no claims to be correct. Board is a 328 crius_se.
The factor 0.01391 is "rad-to-deg / gyro resolution", or "57 / gyro res". You have to adapt this for mwii.
This doesent like inverted flight, and i suppose it doesent like inclinations in both axes.
The complimentary filter has to be adapted for the -180 / +180 problem. Mine looks like:
- Code: Select all
float diff = gpsheading - myheading;
if (diff > 180.0) diff -=360.0;
if (diff < -180.0) diff +=360.0;
myheading += GPS_CMPF_FACTOR * diff;
if (myheading > 180.0) myheading -=360.0;
if (myheading < -180.0) myheading +=360.0;
heading = myheading;
where GPS_CMPF_FACTOR is 0.001.
PatrikE wrote:Hi Rub..
Like a Sticky mode..
When regaining control after Failsafe it would be good to not release the RTH until Pilot takes command...
As it is now it just releases the moment Failsafe conditions is OK and can leave the plane in Pasthru.
Fence function have kind of that.
You must toggle RTH before it releases.
But When switch operated the pilot knows it's not in RTH any more.(But why not)
It should be possible to reuse the AP_Mode code to detect input.
I have one more Sticky function i would like too.
Finish the mission even in Failsafe.

In that case MWii don't know it's in Failsafe.
In a real failsafe case your plane will be circling over home until you can get control and take over or Runs out of power!.
MWii Failsafe cuts power and lets the plane descend when it reaches home.
And it's really easy to make a sticky Failsafe to check stick inputs.
rubadub wrote:ah yes, I see what you're saying. using built-in failsafe adds the 'auto-land/descend' feature.
I might use that in the future, but for now I'm ok with it only circling home when using AUX RTH.

Played around a bit with PID's but don't get anything clearly better.
Maybe the reaction time gets too long.
It's more noticeable when flying waypoints.
But there it seems I value may be too low.
Maybe someone with better knowledge about PID's could take a look at it.

No scrunchies in sight.
Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw may have put Sarah Jessica Parker on the map as a style icon, but the Manolos and tutus that defined her covetable wardrobe didn't stop at the screen. The actress's off-camera look is just as fun-loving and fashion-forward as the NYC columnist she so famously played, often downright indistinguishable. Here, we took a look at all the times SJP dressed exactly like her fictional alter ego, and we couldn't help but wonder... is Sarah Jessica Parker actually just Carrie Bradshaw in real life?

Pop & Hiss premiere: Big Gigantic's 'Nocturnal'
Some would say a band name like Big Gigantic comes with some oversized expectations. But with their latest record, the high-altitude club bangers from Boulder, Colo., are proving worthy of the moniker. Forged from a partnership between saxophonist/producer Dominic Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken, Big Gigantic's combination of dub, jazz and glossy club jams gives a refreshing face to the improv style of electro known as "jamtronica" that's been roaming the outdoor festival circuit.
Over the past year, Lalli and Salken's live beats and squealing, melodic brass have earned them a year's worth of tours and crazy festival gigs, including their recent U.S. run with Bassnectar and Pretty Lights.
Just two days after finishing its sophomore full-length "Nocturnal" (out Jan. 11), the duo premieres the album's soulful, bass-rattling title track on Pop & Hiss.
The sound and the style of "Nocturnal" is emblematic of the group's focus on heavy-handed, low-end, epic hip-hop production and horn work inspired by Herbie Hancock.
"This album, and this song in particular, is definitely an attempt to capture how we've evolved as a live act over the last year," said Lalli, who records and produces all of the music. Onstage, you can typically find Lalli perched over a laptop with saxophone in hand as he fuses his studio made beats with the visceral pounding of Salken's live drums.
"Jeremy and my tastes are similar in a lot of different ways, and a lot of the drums I make on the computer are really inspired by his drumming," said Lalli, former member of Colorado jam band the Motet. "I think a lot about how we play live, and then I come in the studio and try to transfer that over all those emotions when I get ready to record."
Though past releases like their 2010 album "A Place Behind the Moon" favored drum-heavy hip-hop, their latest work allows additional synth and string arrangements, which flesh out their sound. As for "Nocturnal," Lalli says he was inspired by those who take the concept of night-life revelry seriously.
"I feel like it's just about a group of people just going out together and just live it up. Any club you go to, you can always spot that group of people in the room just living for the moment and going crazy."

Burger King is best known globally for the quality of its beef patties. So how does it manage without beef? Simple. It creates a slightly spicy lamb patty with a delicious bite to it. The Burger King India menu differs substantially from the Western version by emphasising texture and Indian flavours. Even the chicken sandwich is based on the chicken tikka!

He suggested several chemicals that may work.
This is what he suggested:
- Gasoline; diluted with hydrogen peroxide in a 2 to 1 ratio. It must be applied carefully and of course it is a flammability hazard while working with, but it will cut into any petroleum-based goop with good efficacy and if you're careful, damage to the components will be minimal.
- Acetone; can easily cut into epoxy based goops, but it also will melt and destroy most plastics very easily. Damage to the components may be severe if extreme caution isn't taken.
- Trichloroethylene; known in the industry by nicknames such as, Trike, TCE, and Tri. He recommends this as the best chemical solvent to use on goop. It can remove the goop cleanly with little to no damage to the components. It evaporates very quickly, so there is a minimal chance of melting any plastics. The only problem is that it is highly toxic and a known carcinogen, therefore, proper protection is mandatory for anyone using it.
Also try a little bit of denatured alcohol on it, to test it's reaction to mild solvents, to try and better determine what might be the best stuff to use on it. He made a point of saying that Non-Destructive degooping is very difficult and a rather rare practice in professional reverse engineering. When a device is dissected, it usually isn't their intention for it to ever function again.

Grand Prix Story Review
- Publisher: Kairosoft Co.,Ltd
- Genre: Entertainment
- Released: 8 Sep, 2011
- Size: 188.2 MB
- Price: $4.99
- Unique gameplay focus on vehicle prototyping; like Game Dev Story with cars.
- You get to watch your vehicle in action.
- No skipping races if you're just after the cash.
- As with other titles, 'fast' mode not available until you've completed a full playthrough.
Even though you may be suffering from Kairosoft-fatigue, Grand Prix Story is a fantastic sim that harkens back to the developer's roots while showing the polish you'd expect of a later title in their catalog.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
It seems we can barely finish a Kairosoft game these days before another hits the shelves in order to suck up the loose change from our collective wallets. To be fair to the developer, Grand Prix Story did see its way on to the Android platform as an exclusive earlier in the year. It's hard to feel cynical and claim the game as a simple cash grab, because when it comes down to it the game is just as great as you'd expect it to be.
It's no surprise to find out that Grand Prix Story is yet another management-sim, this time placing you at the reins of a racing company determined to prove their worth on the world-wide circuit. Strangely unlike most of the recent releases from Kairosoft, Grand Prix Story takes a trip back in time and feels much like Game Dev Story as your company revolves around the production cycle of individual vehicles, with each of your employees fulfilling basic roles that can be upgraded over time (either with research points or financial investments).
However, where Game Dev had you releasing your final product in to the wild, Grand Prix places you on a virtual track, pitting you against other virtual companies and their cars in a bid to attract sponsors and cash prizes to fund new projects. Cash can also be earned by putting your various drivers to work outside your company or by employing special characters with lower-stats that inject funds in to your project - as such there's a much lower chance of becoming bankrupt, allowing you to focus on patching the holes on any cash-flow problems before ruining your game permanently.
Grand Prix Story is presented in its typical cartoonish pixel-art style and while watching the simulated races can be tedious, there are moments when you'll hang on every pixel your car gains on another car in the hopes you'll make a pass on the final corner.
Ultimately Grand Prix Story is essentially Game Dev Story for those with a penchant for vehicles. That isn't to say casual gamers without a deep knowledge of racing can't get a kick out of it, but it certainly helps.
DescriptionTry your hand at managing an auto racing team!
Become the boss of your own team, training drivers and acquiring sponsors before conquering the Grand Prix!
Develop new vehicles and parts, and customize them any way you like! Do you have what it takes to make it to the winner's circle?
No knowledge of motorsports is required to play!
Supports iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
Note: Screen rotation and zoom are only available on iPhone 3GS and later, iPod touch 2nd generation and later, and iPad.
The game now lets you switch between English and Japanese.

Bride or Grooms Name:
One of our very own, Elizabeth, got married this past Fall in California Wine Country joined by friends and family (including her Bella Pictures family!). We thought we'd share some of the beautiful photos from her big day! Congratulations Elizabeth and Chris!
How they met: "Chris and I met for the first time at my sister's engagement party in 1998. Chris and my brother-in-law met in junior high school, and eventually ended up living together in college at Chico State where they became great friends with my sister. Nine years after our first meeting, we reconnected at a party that my sister and brother-in-law threw, and the rest was history."
The proposal: "With the help of some of my dear friends at Bella, Chris coordinated a scavenger hunt that sent me to a few stops in San Francisco, before boarding a ferry to Tiburon. He was waiting for me on the deck at our favorite restaurant, and first date spot, Sam's Anchor Caf' on bended knee!"
The Wedding: Elizabeth and Chris celebrated with 130 of their closest friends and family at the DeLorimer Winery in Geyserville, CA. "Both Chris and my parents live in Santa Rosa, so it seemed natural to get married in the North Bay and use Santa Rosa as a home base for our wedding weekend. Shortly after we were engaged, we started making weekend trips to the area to look for venues. One day while driving around the Alexander Valley visiting potential venues, we decided to take a break from our search to stop off at the next winery to have a glass of wine and talk about our possibilities. While standing at the bar in the DeLorimier Winery tasting room, we thought, this place feels good! The laid-back atmosphere (and the glass of wine!) were just what we needed, and our decision was made."
On Bella Pictures: " Since I had been working at Bella Pictures for several years, it was obvious that I would use them for my wedding photography. I was actually quite excited to move through our process as a bride instead of viewing it as an employee. I am proud to say I was the first person to check out on our eCommerce website! The whole process was so simple, which was very important considering all of the other tasks involved in planning a wedding! All of the pre-wedding planning from customizing my own package online, setting up a payment plan, rating my photos for the matching process and filling out my wedding planner were so intuitive. And the end result is by far the best part. Looking back, I can truly say that my photography and video were the most treasured items from my wedding. "

We asked our past brides via Facebook to upload their favorite portrait from their wedding and other Bella brides and fans would vote for their favorite. Congratulations to Erica and Alan who are our October winners. Their beautiful wedding is featured below!
How they met: They met each other in high school but were only acquaintances. "We didn't talk much then, I was a little older and thought I was much too sophisticated at the time to talk to a younger man! A few years ago we kept running into each other out on the town. One night, Alan impressed me with his charms and coerced me into going on a date with him. From then on forward, we were connected at the hip and couldn't imagine life without each other!"
The proposal: Alan proposed on a romantic trip to Europe (London & Turkey). "While we were staying in a hotel in Bodrum Turkey overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, at a cliff top restaurant located at the hotel, Alan got down on one knee and I said yes!"
The Wedding: They had their beautiful wedding at Wente Vineyards near San Francisco! "I wanted an outdoor wedding and my husband and I loved the idea of a winery setting. That area also has a bit of horse country in it and I'm an equestrian so that sold it for me!"
On Bella Pictures: "Our photographer did a WONDERFUL job! We are still having a hard time narrowing down the pictures we want for our album because so many of them are that good! The photographer was thoughtful, reliable and completely professional. They were able to capture the style we were looking for and their shots were intuitive."
Funny story about the wedding day: "At the time this wasn't that funny but in hindsight it is pretty hilarious! After the ceremony, the wind kicked up quite a bit. We were all freezing, especially Alan and I in that photo I submitted on the golf course where im leaning all the way back. We were actually laughing at how miserably cold it was while talking the picture and that is one of the pictures that helped us win the contest! At the time we were definitely imagining the warm beaches of Maui where we departed to our Honeymoon the next day!"

New York, October 3, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed concern today for a missing Tibetan filmmaker whom colleagues fear may have been detained.
"We are concerned about the whereabouts of Jigme Gyatso, who has been harassed and detained in the past for making a film," said Bob Dietz, CPJ Asia program coordinator. "All too often, Tibetan journalists are detained without due process, and Gyatso's disappearance is a reminder that even if they are freed, the fear of re-arrest is constant."
Switzerland-based Tibetan film company Filming for Tibet last had contact with Jigme Gyatso on September 20, and the group's local contacts are concerned for his safety, their spokesperson Gyaljong Tsetrin told CPJ by email. Twice in the past, Chinese authorities briefly detained Gyatso for assisting documentarian Dhondup Wangchen shoot the 2008 film, "Leaving Fear Behind," and he lives under surveillance, the group said. Wangchen, who is serving a six year prison sentence for making the film, is one of CPJ's 2012 International Press Freedom Awardees.

Amphora Wine Group, Just a Dash
I am the Administrative Executive for Amphora Wine Group who is young and enthusiastic. Amphora Wine Group is a relatively small company and I assist with the sales and marketing within the company. I am trying to generate a new wine label to hit the middle price point for wine that is creative, eye catching and appealing to a global market.
The target audience is quite broad as we are trying to target a global market from all age groups.
We are looking at a wine label that best represents the name, 'Just a dash'. I am happy for you to be free with your creative flare, creating a design that is eye catching and stand's out on the shelf in bottle shops, appealing to a global market, keeping in mind that this label is to hit the middle price point for wine.
The label will need to have a front and back label, size needs to be roughly 80mm x 100mm and needs to consist of slight colour variations for different wine varieties, for example Shiraz - red, Cabernet - blue etc.
