First you should consider whether your language is using a subset of the CLR
or the full CLR.
If it is a Subset of the CLR then any Language which implements a
superset of your
Language Functionality should be fine. IMO C# would be the best choice
since there are mature compilers on the Mono .NET platform
as well in the Microsoft .NET Platform.
If you intented to target the full CLR then you should generate IL.

True, generating IL always gives you more control. While it is true that
you might need to do some extra effort to generate "Good" IL sequences
for yor assemblies, I would generate IL that "just works" for the moment.
Applications that are long lived are optimized by the NGen Service on the
Microsoft .NET Platform (I don't recall if there is such service on
the mono Platform)
Anyway, if you are in desperate needs for performance you can precompile
an assembly to a native image, and Let the Native Image Compiler
do the optimizations for you
> Any other benefits of doing ILAsm compared to say C# and then
> compiling C# using the std compiler?
Yes, if you generate IL you wouldn't be creating a dependency to
a software which you DON'T Control. The compiler might evolve and
introduce semantics which are different than those of your language,
although this is very unlikely.
Besides if you intend that your compiler is used in environments that you
do not control, then generating IL is almost a MUST DO
Hope it Helps,

If you're lazy on the job, it'll catch up to you. Here are some tips to be a self-starter today.
True Confession: On some things in life, like the writing of this column at 6 a.m. this morning, I tend to wait and wait and wait till the last minute to get things done. Interestingly, I consider myself a planner, but I've noticed that taking on more work with less help (thanks to the economy) has caused me to, um, stall when it comes to getting certain tasks done. It's led to missed deadlines, silly excuses, rushed projects and probably the perception that yeah, she's good, but will she get it in on time? If you're a last-minute Sally in the workplace, trust me it's not worth it. Procrastination is a career killer of the worst kind because your team members won't trust you, bosses will overlook you on the next big project and essentially you'll be known as a kink in the process. And it leaves you vulnerable to people shitting on you and your work ethic. Believe me, I've been there, done that and it's the worst kind of abuse in the workplace. But there's hope. Here are a few lessons from my co-workers who get the job done quickly:
Start immediately. Right after meeting, they follow-up with key initiatives, resolutions and meeting notes. Do this not only to remove that to-do item from the list, but also because it shows the rest of the team that you are dependable and trustworthy.
Break up the task. How do you swallow an elephant? One bite at a time. This is a must for those of you who are constantly on deadline. As soon as the task is assigned, do something: write the outline, present a summary, create a to-do list. This will get you started in the right direction and it doesn't allow the pressure of completing this humongous task to build up.
Map out a plan. Start with the end game in mind. Ask yourself: When is it due? When will I work on it? How often? For how long? Answering these questions will allow you to figure out what you need to do and when and how you will accomplish it. Another good point: Don't create a plan you don't intend to keep. It's futile and an absolute waste of your time, effort and energy. If planning out the entire project is a bit too much for you, go back to doing one thing at a time and cross it off your list. The sense of accomplishment is amazing.
Enlist some help. As women, we tend to want to shoulder the weight of the world. That's counterproductive. I know that for sure. Before going to the boss whining about how you're doing everything, figure out how much help you need, for how long and the cost. Then present that proposal to the higher-ups. They will respect your candor and the strategic thinking. Good luck!

Following the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the Vice-Chancellor, University of Ibadan (UI), Prof. Isaac Adewole, yesterday ordered the students living on campus to vacate their halls of residence before 6pm today.
In a statement issued by the institution's Director of Communication, Mr. Olatunji Oladejo, the VC asked the students to proceed on a two-week semester break with immediate effect as a result of the prevailing circumstances.
In a telephone chat with The Nation yesterday, Mr. Oladejo noted that it was necessary for the students to go home as the ongoing ASUU strike has paralysed academic activities and there is no need for them to stay on campus.
He added that an idle hand is the devil's workshop.

On Sept. 1, Explore International, the wholly owned subsidiary of National Geographic Television & Film, rebranded as National Geographic Television International, in time for its relaunch at MIPCOM 2004.
The relaunch is the first major initiative under new president Ian Jones since he joined from Granada International, and reflects Explore's desire to work more closely with its parent organisation and leverage the distinctive and powerful National Geographic brand in the international marketplace.
"Explore was established as a joint venture between National Geographic and Canal Plus, but now it is wholly owned, there is no reason for the Explore name to remain," comments Ian Jones. "In addition, there have been a great number of changes at the company over the years, and with new people and processes in place to 'start afresh' for MIPCOM, now seemed like the ideal opportunity to re-present ourselves and our business to broadcasters and producers worldwide."
New Senior Management Team
Jones, who joined in June, has also restructured the senior management team at National Geographic Television International, making former sales director Edwina Thring head of programmes and bringing in ex Television Corporation sales director Anna Fuge as the new head of sales. In addition, Michelle Waldron, formerly from the agency world, has joined as director of marketing and communications.
Jones continues: "I now have an excellent team in place to drive the development of National Geographic Television International. Our ambitions are to work more closely with producers internally and externally to make and sell even more blue-chip documentary programming and to further grow our relationships with the world's best independent factual producers and represent them in the international marketplace. We are particularly keen to have more Specials and Series, an objective that is already well under way.
"National Geographic is a tremendous company, offering many opportunities through its array of business areas including the Magazine and consumer products. We have already started to work more closely with our colleagues across the business in order to benefit all of our broadcaster and producer customers and to ensure they receive the maximum benefit from working with the National Geographic brand through National Geographic Television International."
Notes to Editors:
National Geographic Television International, formerly known as Explore International, is a wholly owned subsidiary of one of the world's most-renowned media brands, National Geographic. National Geographic Television International currently licenses more than 1,000 programme titles across a diverse and ever-growing range of genres, including Natural History, Civilisations & History, Science, People & Places, Society, and Children's Programming.
Our new website will be live in October. Until then please use www.explore-intl.com.

Nothing is as compelling as managing the design, of a printed piece or web look for your organization, service or campaign. It's easy to get swept away envisioning the impact it will have on your target audiences. And the creative adventure of bringing that piece, or web design, to life, is usually a welcome change from strategic and administrative work.
However, the excitement often fades when you dive into the process of finding, hiring, and managing a designer or design team. Let's be honest. It's challenging to manage a designer's creativity into a design take that meets your organization's needs can be challenging. You definitely want to give the designer the opportunity to channel her creative genius into something powerful. On the other hand, you want to ensure that she translates your marketing concept into something that speaks to your audiences and motivates advocacy, donations, registration, inquiries, or whatever call to action you need.
I've run up against this challenge time and again, first as an in-house marketing director in several publishing houses, and at the Foundation Center, and most recently as the marketing firm point person for nonprofit and foundation clients. Over the years, I've devised a few strategies that ensure that the design process goes smoothly. And they really work.
I advise you to take these five steps. When you do, you'll generate the design results that make the greatest impact for your organization:
Step One: Take your time to find the RIGHT designer.
NOTE: Take this step immediately, not when you're in desperate need of a designer.
I have, over the years, developed a stable of about seven good designers. They are all the RIGHT designer, but not one of them is the right designer for every single design project.
The question is how do you find your stable of RIGHT designers? You're likely to need relationships with three or four designers. The number depends on the volume of design work, the range of looks you're trying to achieve, and the diversity of materials and online projects to be designed. My situation is unique. Because I work with many clients with diverse needs, I require more of a range of design skills and price points than would any single nonprofit or foundation.
Here's how to find your designers:
Step Two: Gather favorite design samples Keep a folder of favorites, printed materials you identify as good design in the same range as your organization's image or the image you want to establish. Bookmark website designs in the same way.
Make sure that some of your picks are produced by nonprofits and foundations.
Step Three: Compile your list of prospective designers Contact communications colleagues (make sure you like their design sensibility first, judging by their products) and ask for designer recommendations. Get basic information on pricing, work style, and client base.
Contact the communications director at those organizations who produced the print materials or websites you've tagged. Start by contacting the folks at organizations closest to yours in focus and/or budget. It's most likely, but not a definite, that their designers are the best fit.
Step Four: Hone your list to the top three or four by interviewing ten to twelve designers Contact the top ten to twelve before you have a design project ready to go. At that point, you won't want to waste a minute in getting design estimates in.
Here are some of the questions I ask prospective designers:
- How long have you been designing? With this firm/working freelance?
- Have you worked with nonprofit organizations? If so, who are some of your clients? How did you get into design work for nonprofits?
- Do you design for print and online media?
- Could you show me a few samples of what you consider to be your strongest design projects? What is the average size (dollar-wise) of your design projects?
- Take me through the design process for a brochure? How about an annual report?
- Do you have references I can call?
- Will you personally be designing our work, and be my point person? (for non-solo designers)
- These are the quirks you'll face in designing for our nonprofit (explain any, from the Executive Director thinking she's a designer--and putting her stamp on every piece--to a boss who always changes his mind completely on what a piece should feature when he sees a design concept)
- While reviewing past work is a very important consideration, be sure you also spend some time talking to their clients to find out more about their design process, working styles, and the results of the project.
A creative brief is the most effective way to get everyone (your colleagues and the design team) started with a common understanding of what needs to be accomplished. An effective creative brief gives the designer direction and provides your team with benchmarks against which to evaluate design concepts.
Spending the time to complete a thorough creative brief will save you a lot of time up front, and ensure that you get the design product you envisioned.
In two pages at most, your brief should:
- Define the project and its objectives
- List, characterize and prioritize audiences
- Present Unique Selling Proposition(USP), one sentence about what makes the organization, program or service unique
- List top features and/or facts about the program, service or organization, and its value to audiences
- Detail tone or image
- Specify budget and time frame
- Outline internal review and approval process
Start right now by diving into the stacks in your office. It's likely that, when you do, you'll find some great design samples that will lead you to more effective (and maybe even less expensive) graphic design for your organization.

Contact transfers between a new and old iPhone or Android phone are usually handled automatically by the operating system of the phone itself if the same email account is registered on both phones. It is also possible to transfer contacts between different phone operating systems with some additional steps.
Apple's iPhone and iOS operating system have the most straightforward process for transferring contacts, as any contacts registered on one iPhone are normally transferred to another iPhone from iCloud storage during the registration process for the new phone. It may be necessary to connect the new phone directly to a computer that has been synchronized with the old phone if the contact list has not been uploaded to iCloud, however.
Android phones do not have the option to transfer contacts from a synchronized computer without using third-party apps, but otherwise transfer contacts in a similar manner to iOS devices using the Gmail account of the owner of the new phone. The option to transfer contacts is located in the Accounts menu located in the Settings app of the phone. Synchronizing the contact list on the old phone through this interface allows the contact list to be uploaded automatically on the new phone when the owner signs in again. It is also possible to perform a similar transfer of contacts from an iPhone to an Android phone by choosing to sync contacts to a Gmail account rather than iCloud on the iPhone.

|Last year I installed a rose bed in my mother's garden in North Carolina, which now consists of about 35 roses. Last week she asked me to suggest a fertilization program, and to write it down for her. I wrote out the following, and thought I would post it here in case anyone should find it useful:
Here is my advice for fertilizing your roses. But before explaining the regimen that I recommend, allow me to give you some background information that will help you understand why I recommend one approach over another.
At the most basic level, there are several types of fertilizers:
1. Dry all-organic fertilizers derived from natural components like composted manure, bone meal, blood meal, feather meal, alfalfa, sea bird guano, bat guano, etc. My favorite product is Peruvian Seabird Guano.
2. Wet all-organic fertilizers (such as Neptune brand concentrated fish emulsion)
3. Dry synthetic chemical fertilizers (such as Miracle Gro time-released pellets)
4. Wet synthetic chemical fertilizers (such as Miracle Gro liquid concentrate, or dry granules that are mixed with water)
5. Combinations of organic and synthetic dry fertilizers combined as a single product (like mostly organic Rose -Tone by Espoma)
6. Combination of organic and synthetic wet fertilizers (combined as a single product, such as Mills Easy Feed liquid)
Nearly all fertilizers have a "guaranteed analysis" of their Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), and Potassium (K) content. For example, the N-P-K numbers for Rose-Tone fertilizer are 4-3-2, which means the contents of the fertilizer are comprised of 4% nitrogen, 3% phosphorous, and 2% potassium. Nitrogen contributes to overall growth and foliage. Phosphorous contributes to root growth and blooms. Potassium contributes to disease resistance.
In general, most organic fertilizers will have lower N-P-K numbers than synthetic fertilizers. Even though synthetic fertilizers are cheaper and more potent, I only recommend using mostly organic fertilizers (options 1, 2, 5, or 6 above) for the following reasons:
• Organic fertilizers feed and enrich the soil, which then feeds the plant, whereas synthetic fertilizers just feed the plant. As an analogy, you can liken the use of organic fertilizers to eating an apple, whereas the use of synthetic fertilizers is like eating a packet of sugar. The apple isn't as fast-acting as raw sugar, but over the long-term, apples contribute to a healthier diet.
• Ironically, synthetic fertilizers can damage garden soil over time by saturating it with salts that can eventually "lock up" the soil and prevent plants from being able to absorb nutrients. There are even products to "leach" fertilizer salts from garden soil after they build up over time.
• Some organic fertilizers provide micro-nutrients and minerals that are essential to plant health.
• Some organic fertilizers contribute to the presence and health of beneficial microbes in the soil. By contrast, high-acidic synthetic fertilizers can be fatal to earthworms, which are an important contributor to the health and structure of garden soil.
• Synthetic fertilizers are more likely to wash out of the soil during rain (with the exception of time-released versions), whereas organic fertilizers mixed into the soil can have more staying power.
• Synthetic fertilizers tend to produce run-off residues (especially nitrogen) which find their way into creeks, rivers, lakes, and wetlands. This is creating a growing problem in the environment. High nitrogen robs water of oxygen, increases algae, and can lead to the death of aquatic organisms.
With all of this in mind, I think option 1 or 5 above is a relatively easy and environmentally conscientious approach. (Options 2 and 6 are good, too, but for large gardens involve careful measuring and the use of siphoning equipment. I do that, too, but won't go into that since Options 1 and 5 are easier to start out with, in my opinion.)
If you go with Option 1, I suggest that you buy a 25 pound bag of Pelletized Peruvian Seabird Guano from the DirtWorks website at http://www.dirtworks.net/Bat-G.... It is an economical fertilizer with an unusually high Nitrogen and Phosphorous content for an organic fertilizer, and is slowly released. Pellets can be used once for the entire growing season. For established plants use one tablespoon of pellets scratched into the top three inches of soil, a few inches away from base of the plant, and then watered in.
If you go with Option 5, my suggestion would be to purchase Rose Tone fertilizer by Espoma (or any other mostly organic fertilizer recommended by your nursery), and follow the dosage directions on the bag. Sprinkle 1 ¼ cup of Rose-Tone around the base of each established rose. Use a garden fork to work the fertilizer into the top 3 inches of soil, then water the soil around each plant. This regimen should be followed on a monthly basis between April and August. Stop fertilizing (and stop deadheading) after Labor Day, to allow the roses to slow down their blooming and gradually "harden off" in time for the onset of cold weather. If you keep fertilizing and deadheading after Labor Day, the roses will not be as resistant to cold weather once it arrives. If you go with this option, buy your fertilizer in the largest bag you can find (e.g., 40 pounds). The bigger the bag, the cheaper it will be by the pound.
Ideally, I would combine Option 1 and Option 5 during the month of April (for North Carolina), because it will take time for the Seabird Guano to "break down", and in the meantime the powdery Rose-Tone can get to work. In other words, when you put down the Seabird Guano, also put down a cup of Rose-Tone at the same time. But you won't have to repeat the Rose-Tone applications on a monthly basis because the Seabird Guano will do the job during the remainder of the growing season. This is what I do.
Additional micro nutrients can be added with liquid products such as OceanSolution, or Age Old Kelp, to name a few examples.

|Mike, I agree with you. I think it is best to feed roses with natural fertilizers that feed the soil. Things like alfalfa meal, bone meal, blood meal, guano, fish emulsion, and kelp really do this. So it can be useful to look for fertilizers composed of them. Most of these components are rich in nitrogen, and perhaps not so rich in other nutrients. Bone meal, however, is rich in phosphorous and calcium. Greensand is rich in minor nutrients and potassium.
You are right that the primary nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Nitrogen is primarily used in building leaves and stems, phosphorous is used most heavily in flowering and fruiting, and potassium is used most in growing root systems. Minor components that can be important include calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and manganese. A good soil test can help with micro-nutrients. Soil pH can affect how nutrients are absorbed by the plants.
My first choice for spring fertilization is an organic fertilizer mixed from several components such as Mill's Magic or Espoma. I will sometimes use Osmocote slow release fertilizer later in the season. I completely eschew things like Miracle Grow. If soil-borne microorganisms produce and make available all of the components that feed roses, then those components - though they are food for the rose - are waste products for the microorganisms. If we add too much of those we could kill them, rendering the soil infertile and the plant completely dependent on delivered artificial fertilizer.
Good luck with the fertilizer program.

|OOPs... I forgot a thing or two.
Banana peels are a rich source of potassium. I save them and coffee grounds, bury them in the garden. Worms love them. Most produce, if I remember correctly, is rich in potassium ... so composting can really help.
If you want perfect soil, add lots of organic material. And try "Perfect Balance" fertilizer from GardensAlive.com . They analyze soil samples that you send them, then they formulate fertilizer that is balanced with all the macro and micronutrients. I haven't tried it, but the idea seems like a powerful one, they explain it well, and they charge enough that the service is credible. Probably one could do the same for less with a really good ag extension service and a spreadsheet.

Hi Everyone,
I'm back in the studio again preparing for an upcoming exhibition at the Gladstone Hotel, Toronto curated by Shannon Gerard.
Using print as a primary strategy, the Open Studio Artist Members in PINK PEARL work with paper, artist books, material arts, sculpture, and animation to address notions of erasure, transcendence and accumulation. Print media is often characterized by a material emphasis on subtraction and addition. As a dug hole is mirrored by the mound of dirt it unearths, any removal of material from the surface of a print matrix implies an accumulation elsewhere. What meaning can be found in those liminal spaces between minus and plus? Works in PINK PEARL move past surface engagements with etched plates, burned screens, grained stones, carved wood and cut paper to explore the concepts of erasure and transcendence. Using print as a primary strategy, artists in PINK PEARL create works on paper, artist books, material arts, sculpture, and animation. Works from OPEN STUDIO members: Nadine Bariteau, Tara Cooper, Elizabeth D¹Agostino, Shannon Gerard, Geneviève Jodouin, Lauren Nurse, Nick Shick, Amanda Nicole White and Tobias Williams
Dates of the exhibition 8 December 2011 to 8 January 2012 Opening Reception Date Thursday 8 December 7-10 pm

Build Log: GWS Slow Stick
NOTE: I've made some changes to the plane due to a spectacular crash, which is less fun than it sounds. I'll post photos of the new setup with a brushless motor after the glue dries :)
So, I wasn't going to write this, because I figured it out OK, but I realized when looking through the forums, that many people have trouble assembling the Slow Stick, and that beginners are not sure of what to buy for a flight pack. I also think it's important to delineate somewhere what the total cost of this plane really is, in time and money. Right up front I will tell you, it was $313.28 for all the parts I needed and about 6 hours of assembly time. However, I didn't mind it because I'm currently immobilized due to a "messed up" (doc's words, not mine) ankle. I hurt myself pretty badly getting an Estes Sky Ranger out of a tree.
The Sky Ranger just doesn't fly very well at all, and that's to be expected because it is truly a $40 and ready-to-fly RC airplane. You have to do a lot of work just to keep it in the air, and it really only flies well when it's going straight into the wind. You get what you pay for with the cheap park flyers, and in my case that's about 200 bucks of medical bills. Now, I'm not saying to avoid the cheap park flyers, just make sure that you have lots of space (more than a football field) and you are not easily frustrated. It took me 3 separate flying sessions to figure out how to make the Sky Ranger stay up in the air, and then I crashed it in a tree (and it was just when I was starting to have fun with it).
So, in my frustration over planes that are so horrible that they lead to injuries, I went to a hobby shop in search of a REAL RC plane. I knew I either wanted the Slow Stick, or the Parkzone Slo-V, but the Parkzone is ready-to-fly, and with my bum ankle I kind of wanted something to keep myself busy with. The Slow Stick requires some assembly, and it affords you the option of purchasing equipment you can use with other planes in the future. All of the parts listed below could be useful on other planes, and it's up to me whether I want to remove it from the Slow Stick or buy another one. So here goes, here's how I built my Slow Stick!
The Parts List
GWS Slow Stick Kit ($34.98)
This is the basic kit, which includes the basic parts of the plane, and the motor and propeller. It's cheap, but it's not functional by itself.
Hitech Laser 4 Transmitter/Radio Kit ($117.98)
This radio kit came with the transmitter, and also the parts which are mounted on the plane. When you buy your radio, it will come with servos and a receiver which must be mounted on the plane. Same for the receiver. The servos and receiver are powered by a Ni-MH battery pack that came with the radio. You can buy extra receivers and servos, and the kit came with two extra servos that I didn't need for the Slow Stick (they would be for ailerons, which are not present on this plane). Overall this is a pretty important purchase, since you will be using this transmitter for other planes... hopefully ALL of them. Don't skimp on this one. Get a good one. This one I bought is about as cheap as you can go for a good radio. GWS sells some cheaper ones, but I don't think they are as good. This is the most expensive part you will purchase for your hobby, but don't be cheap... get a quality radio that will last a long time... otherwise you'll end up buying other ones, and your costs will soar higher than the planes you're building.
Thunder Power 3-Cell Li-po battery ($54.98)
OK, here's where you have some options. You need a good battery pack to power the motor. I chose this 3-cell Li-Po battery, which was a little expensive. You can go as low as 20 bucks on this one, for a Ni-MH pack, but I think a good Li-Po battery is a smart purchase. They are somewhat dangerous to mess around with and you have to be careful charging them and connecting and disconnecting them to avoid fire. However, the risk of fire with a Li-Po battery is less than that of gasoline, and if you're smart about it, you'll be fine. Electric power is the wave of the future, and messing around with gasoline is just a dirty pain in the butt. Li-Po will give you better power and less weight (important on an airplane). So, note that you have two power sources on the completed plane. These batteries are not 100% charged up on the first time, so you'll need to drain it and recharge it at least once before you fly. The best way to do this is after you finish the plane. Simply block the plane's forward movement somehow and run it at less than full throttle, until the ESC cuts off the power. It's not a good idea to put a Li-Po battery under heavy load until it has been 'broken in', so don't run it at full throttle for a long time until you have cycled the battery a few times. After your test, allow the battery to cool for about 15 minutes, then recharge it. Use a clock for this - 15 minutes is longer than you think! The first time I didn't check, but the second cycle on this battery gave me a little over 20 minutes of continuous running at 50% throttle.
Electrifly Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) ($34.98)
This is another fairly important part. It serves two purposes - it controls the throttle power via the receiver, and it protects the battery from over-discharging. This one I bought is a little better than the minimum requirement, and it will be able to run a slightly more powerful motor if I want to change motors in the future. This ESC needs to be programmed for this type of battery, and it only works with standard brushed motors. If you want to go with a brushless motor, you will need a different kind of ESC. The GWS kit comes with a brushed motor, so this is a good controller to start with. It has plugs for connections, but you'll need to cut and solder those to the motor wires. The GWS motor is already loaded with capacitors, so you won't need those, but they are included with the ESC.
Eflite Celectra Li-Po battery charger ($44.98)
This battery charger is fairly simple, and requires a 12V DC source for power. I have a thing that turns a wall outlet into a car cigarette lighter, and then I bought an adapter so I can plug this into my car as well. The charging leads on this had to be modified to fit my battery. I will explain below.
Plug Adapter for battery ($3.25)
The battery comes with bare wires, so you need a nice plug to use it. The plug needs to be soldered on to the battery, and you'll need to be really careful doing this because you don't want to heat up the battery wires too much - it's a Li-Po. Also make sure you don't strip the positive wire until you have completely soldered and insulated the negative terminal, because short-circuiting a Li-Po battery is asking for trouble. There is a male plug on the ESC already, so I put the female plug on the battery, and I used the male side of this kit to make a nice plug for the battery charger. I used plenty of electrical tape to insulate this, lock the wires in place and to give me something to grab onto. I can't seem to get a good grip on these ultra plugs so I always put a little tape on them, even if they already have heat-shrink, which you should use if you can get it on there.
Assembling the PlaneAlthough the instructions are written in poor English, they are reasonably easy to understand. I'll mention a few things here that aren't covered in the instructions or are not clear from the instructions. If you have additional questions, please post them in the comments and I will answer them there for everyone to see. Please do not send me a private email about this... any help on this subject really should be made public. The first page of instructions requires you to complete the tail assembly. You need to cut the foam of the tail and the stabilizer in order to make the control surfaces movable. Use a very sharp razor blade in your box cutter to do this. It does not need to be a 45-degree angle, as 45-degrees will be way more space than you need for control surface movement. Basically, you will make a V-groove by cutting some foam away from one side of the fold. You need to check the proper side to do this for. It may be incorrect in the picture in your instructions. One side of the foam will be pre-cut more deeply and the other side will be uncut. Put tape over the UNCUT side, and dig out your V-groove on the other side. The photo shows what this will look like when you are done.
The fuselage of my plane was pre-drilled with holes in the tail section. This made it easy to attach, but if you don't have holes, you might need to drill them. I wouldn't advise glueing this plane together. I just don't think it would hold. Also, I want to be able to take it apart, so screws are a better choice. You will use the double-sticky tape to attach the vertical stabilizer, and it seems to hold pretty well. At this point, I departed from the order in the instructions and inserted and glued the servo arms before I attached the tail to the rest of the plane. It's just easier to work with smaller peices, and I read the instructions completely before I started, and I anticipated those steps would be more difficult if done in the noted order. So after I got those done, I attached the tail and proceeded to finish the fuselage.
The instructions weren't exactly clear on this and I did it wrong the first time, but you need to put the battery mounts IN FRONT of the wings if you use the Li-Po battery, and follow the diagrams if you are using the NiMH batteries. It is a pain to remove everything and re-order the parts when you have the plane completely finished, so don't make this mistake if you can avoid it. The position of the battery will affect the center of gravity (CG) of the plane, and you want the CG to be in the front section of the wing. If it is balanced too far to the rear, the plane will be unstable, and if too far forward, the plane will be hard to turn. I had to put my receiver under the fuselage, instead of above as noted in the diagrams, because my receiver was too big and it kept running into the wings and the wings wouldn't mount properly. The photo shows where I had to mount everything.
So, the next thing I had to do was figure out my battery pack and charger. I mention above how I had to do that, in the section about the battery. Here's a photo of the finished plug from the battery. The plug on the charger was done the same way.
Probably one of the first mods I will make on this plane is to fix the taildragger wheel. The parts that are supposed to hold the wheel on do not fit, so I had to use a different part with a smaller hole in it. I got a few extra plastic parts in the Slow Stick kit, so I used one of those to fix the wheel onto the wire. I don't like this taildragger part because it doesn't turn. This makes it hard to taxi the plane on the ground, which would be convenient if you landed some distance away. You could taxi the plane back to where you were standing, rather than walking over to pick it up. With my ankle the way it is, this seems like a good feature to have. The photo shows how I attached my tail wheel.
That's about it. The rest of the instructions are fairly easy to understand in spite of the bad English. If you have any questions, please post them. The electric flyer community
will appreciate it!
Happy flying!

If you would like to join us for future guest speaker chats with experts and activists, register on the Pandora's Aquarium online support community!
Ash: We're happy to have Dr. Gloria Brame here to talk to us about BDSM and healing. Welcome, Gloria
DrGloria: Thank you! I'm really happy and honored to be here with you all.
Ash: The first half of the chat will be questions that were submitted in advance, so I'm going to hand the floor over to Susan!
Question: What is bdsm?
DrGloria: BDSM is an acronym for bondage, discipline, sadomasochism. It also includes fetishes. That's the simplest explanation It can range from gentle sensual fantasies to extreme acts.
Question: How do I know if I'm only interested in BDSM because of my sexual assault/abuse?
DrGloria: One good sign is if your tendancies ONLY emerged after the abuse. BDSM/fetish sex is founded on the idea of MUTUAL CONSENT. Unlike abuse. If your fantasies only began after an incident, they may come directly from being traumatized. For some abuse victims, however, their tragic experiences happened so young, before they were really sexual (say before puberty).... that it's really confusing to know, "would I have these fantasies if those terrible things didn't happen to me?" That is a question each person has to work out for him or herself, but as a therapist who works on this issue, and a person who has struggled with it herself... if your fantasies always end up with you being hurt and miserable, more than likely it's a reflection of trauma, and it's a BAD place for you to go. If your fantasies are based on pleasure or seeking relief, or seeing a happy or therapeutic outcome (with lots of orgasms!), then you may just be wired this way.
Question: If I'm interested in BDSM, does that mean I'm not healed from my abuse?
DrGloria: No, that's not a logical conclusion. Abuse is not about sex; it's about power and control. It's really an impossible question to answer because it always comes down to individuals. Let's use the example of sexual intercourse. Let's say an abuse victim was forced to have intercourse with an adult as a child. When that child grows up and desires intercourse, does it mean they haven't healed? Of course not. Why? Because they have their own natural sex drive and desires.
Question: I think that I am using BDSM to punish myself for my abuse. What can I do?
DrGloria: If you believe that you are using BDSM negatively, to punish yourself, you should stop, and seek out some counseling.
Question: How can I approach the topic of BDSM with my partner? What if he/she is hesitant because I'm a survivor and he/she is afraid of hurting me?
DrGloria: I wrote a very very friendly user guide to kink called Come Hither. There are other books out there. I recommend you start by asking your partner to read or, if he/she isn't a big reader, for you to mark passages and discuss them together. They will feel better about it if you sound like you've informed yourself too.
Question: I think I might be interested in BDSM but I'm not sure. What would you suggest to help me find out?
DrGloria: If you type the terms into Amazon or B&N, you'll be amazed how many books are out there. What can I say? I always turn to books! LOL But there are lots of good resources on the Net for people beginning this journey.
Question: In your experience, are survivors of sexual assault more likely to be drawn to BDSM than people who were not abused?
DrGloria: That's a good question, and one that comes up all the time. No one has been able to make a correlation (scientifically) between abuse and BDSM.
Question: If BDSM was used as part of my abuse, is it possible to find a way to enjoy it?
DrGloria: It would take a LOT of trust in your partner to know that he/she will do it safely and for your pleasure. If you can trust your partner to honor your needs and be careful around your hot buttons, then I think it's very possible.
Question: Is it unhealthy for me to re-enact parts of my abuse if I'm doing it as a way to regain the control I lost when I was abused?
DrGloria: BDSM isn't therapy. It may feel therapeutic, but it is not the same as putting feelings into words and analyzing what you're doing and why.... so I don't support people trying to heal themselves by re-enacting scenarios. I think there are too many potential minefields that could re-traumatize you if something went wrong. Just my opinion.
Question: How can I tell if my partner is being abusive or if it's only part of the BDSM lifestyle?
DrGloria: I'd like to recommend this website's resources: http://www.keepingitkinky.net/basics/ The sections on red flags, SSC and RACK are a basic guide to figuring out if/when your relationship steps over the line into abuse.
Question: Should I be concerned if I have difficulty staying focussed during sex unless it involves BDSM?
DrGloria: Something I like to tell clients, "relax, that's normal for a kinky person" If you are wired kinky, then BDSM fantasies are natural for you, and what will give you the best sexual responses. Nothing to be worried about.
Question: Is the fullfillment most take away from a bdsm experience mostly sexual satisfaction, or are there other emotions that are healing or helpful or trust developing...ie therapeutic?
DrGloria: Actually, I think BDSMers are a little more interested in the emotional high they get than the orgasm. BDSM is about open honest dialogue, negotiation, nakedness and learning to TRUST. All of those skills are invaluable to abuse survivors, so yes, it can be very comforting and therapeutic to do BDSM.
Question: If BDSM was part of my abuse, and now I can only orgasm when thinking about being hurt that way again, does that mean it is a desire for that now, or that I havent healed from that part of the abuse?
DrGloria: If you keep re-living your trauma, then you probably have not healed from it. Your BDSM fantasy is your way of trying to rewrite the experience, maybe give it a happier outcome.
Question: What if I know I just want to be hurt, like actually hurt, I WANT to feel physical pain, and there's little interest in the pleasure that's supposed to be a great part of it? When does BDSM stop being just that and becomes too much?
DrGloria: It's possible you would've enjoyed intense sensation or would've been a masochist whether or not you were abused. The abuse may have made it more traumatic and frightening for you. My own rule of thumb is this: do you feel good *after* the experience? Do you feel you got what you really wanted? If so, no harm. BUT...if afterwards you cry, or get down on yourself, or feel like a bad person, you have to stop for your own mental health.
Question: Can you talk a bit about creating a safe word and making yourself use it rather than allowing self to enter the "reenactment" thing. I am not sure I could trust myself to use it soon enough.
DrGloria: I think if you are going to experiment with BDSM, you should begin by taking baby-steps. Maybe you always had a fantasy about something intense, like tight bondage or a whipping... start with LIGHT bondage and a light spanking. See how those things actually feel to your body -- not just in your fantasies. Can you handle it? I recommend that the first few times you experiment you deliberately leave yourself wanting more the *next* time. Trying to fulfill a fantasy all at once is, IMO, risky for an abuse survivor
Question: Is it wrong to derive sexual pleasure from being hurt in my private areas? If so, do you have any suggestions for stopping?
DrGloria: "Wrong" is a moral judgment, and we each have to live with our own conscience, right? To me, there is no right or wrong in sex, just positive or negative. If you enjoy genital pain (as many people who were never abused do), it isn't "wrong," it's how you were made. That's how I see it. Meanwhile, you can't NOT be who you are. If you know that when it comes to sex, you need more or different to feel fulfilled, you have to find a place of peace with it, one that is non-destructive; but you can't stop being kinky.
Question: How can you differentiate between a sub-drop and it being detrimental to your mental health?
DrGloria: Honestly, as a long-time player, I haven't witnessed much "sub-drop" because I think the people most likely to experience it either went too far or weren't prepared for the experience. In other words, I think it's most likely to happen when people still feel conflict or, conversely, are really unaware of how intense BDSM can be emotionally.
Question: Could you also give us a brief explanation of what a sub-drop is, for those of us who aren't familiar with the term?
DrGloria: During submission, people feel a kind of high (adrenalin rush) and sub-drop is when they crash later, and feel sad or confused.
Question: Can BDSM be therapeutic for survivors in any way?
DrGloria: I think it can. Not in direct ways, like talk or behaviorial therapy, but over the long-term, it can help a survivor heal some social skills that were damaged by abuse. For example, successful BDSM requires trust: learning to trust again is HUGE for survivors in the BDSM world, and renews them. Also, being involved in BDSM, you learn to give up some of the shame and guilt about the body -- whether over nudity or having weird fantasies. You develop a sense of loving acceptance -- of others and by others. That is another important feeling that is stolen from victims of abuse by their predators.
Question: I classify myself as sadistic and enjoy inflicting pain on play partners. Does this make me an abuser?
DrGloria: Sadists are some of the nicest people I know! Abuse is all about wanting to hurt someone you think is inferior. BDSM, IMO, is all about wanting to share incredible intensity with someone you respect.
Question: For our last question, we'd like to ask you if you could share any survivor-friendly websites or resources for people who are interested in BDSM. I also have some links that were submitted by members, so I'll pass those along as well.

The latest economic data showing growth of 4.1 percent in the third quarter is sending 2013 out with a bang. What was otherwise a pretty dismal year both for the economy and Washington politics now seems not so bad. Both consumer and business spending looked stronger than expected, a hopeful sign for 2014.
And the fresh data come after some other positive developments. Washington managed to agree on a budget deal to wipe out the threat of a government shutdown next year, and the Federal Reserve gave the economy a big vote of confidence by saying it would start cutting back on emergency stimulus through asset purchases.

Block Shop Textiles
Block Shop Textiles is a textile company that marries the traditional Indian hand block printing process with a modern California aesthetic. Their products are a collaboration between sisters Hopie and Lily Stockman in Los Angeles and a family of printers and dyers in Rajasthan. The entire process is manual: designed on paper, printed with wooden blocks, and dyed in small batches – the same way it's been done in India for more than three centuries. No two textiles are exactly alike. Each year, Block Shop invests 5% of profits to build and implement community healthcare programs.
Sorry, there are no products in this category but more should be coming soon.

Caramelized pecans are sugar coated nuggets with a rich, delicious taste.
Bet you can't eat just one!
What you'll need;
vegetable cooking spray
3/4-cup sugar
2-tablespoons water
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4-teaspoon cream of tarter
2-cups pecan halves
aluminum foil
air tight container
heavy medium sized saucepan
Step 1...Spray a sheet of aluminum foil and 2 forks with cooking spray.
Step 2...In the saucepan combine, sugar, water, vanilla, and cream of tarter. Cook over
medium-low heat; stirring frequently, cook for about 10 minutes.
While cooking use a pastry brush dipped in hot water to wash down any sugar crystals
that form on the sides of the saucepan.
Step 3...Stir in the pecans and increase the heat to medium. Stirring occasionally, cook
for about another 10 minutes or until the sugar begins to caramelize.
Stirring constantly, cook 1 to 2 minutes until sugar is caramelized and pecans are golden
brown. (Watch very closely to prevent from burning).
Step 4...Spread on aluminum foil. Use the forks to separate the pecans, allow to cool.
Store in an air tight container.
Makes about 2-1/2-cups caramelized pecans.
This recipe does not work well if doubled.

About Us
Mallcomm grew out of a crucial need we identified in the course of our marketing work for shopping malls across Europe. With virtually every project, we were observing that the challenges of B2B communication with vendors were impeding our clients' capacity to focus on brand strategy, growing profits and the customer experience. Basically—getting word out to retailers was costing our clients far too much in terms of money, effectiveness and time.
We also realized that there was an unfulfilled need for real-time two-way communication with lots of different parties in the retail community who are not part of the main organization. By satisfying this need we would not only be able to transform communications and the resulting relationships, but also we would vastly improve the efficiency of processes involved in operations and driving sales.
In 2011 we made finding a way to fix these problems our priority. We created an innovative multi-channel platform to orchestrate efficient communication with your sales force, facilities teams, and other business partners to give you total control over your brand's real-world operations.

Battle of redemption
I'm going to say it now. This could be the OSU Beavers biggest game of the season.
This is a battle of redemption. Oregon State vs. UCLA. Two teams with storied histories. Two teams trying to claw their way back into relevancy. Two teams that are undefeated.
Matchup: Oregon St. vs. UCLA (19)
Venue: Rose Bowl (Los Angeles, CA)
Game time, TV: 12:30 pm (PST), ABC
Date: Saturday, September 22, 2012
Weather: 86 high, 68 low, Partly Cloudy
Team Records: Oregon St. (1-0), UCLA (3-0)
If the boys in orange and black can pull out this road win, it'll certainly land them within college football's top 25. That would mark the first time since the end of 2009.
Like I said, this could be the biggest game of the season.
Game Notes
Oregon State has lost it's last two contests against UCLA. Their last trip to the Rose Bowl ended in a stunning 17-14 Bruins victory.
UCLA's offense has been amazing so far, ranking second amongst FBS teams. They sport the fifth best ground attack in the NCAA.
This win would put them at 4-0 for the first time in seven years.
Oregon State enters the game on a high note, but needs to watch out for rust. This is just their second game of the season. Their first game was postponed, while last week was a bye.
If Oregon State's defense can replicate what they did against Wisconsin—Badgers held to 35 yards on the ground—this should be a great game to watch.
What to watch: Oregon St.
Can the defense repeat? Will the offense find some chemistry?
We're in week four and this Beavers team is still riddled with questions.
The biggest thing to watch is going to be that defensive unit. They played a different kind of game against Wisconsin, one that Beaver Nation hasn't seen for some time.
They were aggressive, they were multidimensional and they stopped the run. For a rushing defense ranked 101st in the FBS in 2011—and dead last in the Pac-12—holding Wisconsin to 35-yards on the ground is a huge feat.
This week we find out if lightning strikes twice.
What to watch: UCLA
As big as a game this is for OSU, it's just as big for UCLA.
They proved they can roll with the big boys with their upset over Nebraska. Now the Bruins have to prove that they're here to stay with sustained success over the entire season. What better way to prove that than in the Pac-12 opener.
It should be no surprise that UCLA is going to rely on their ground attack, but that offensive line has to be watched.
UCLA already sports a young unit, and at the line experience counts. They've already allowed eight sacks on the season, and they could be without senior guard Jeff Baca—possible concussion.
Can they hold it together and get the offensive unit moving?
Beavs O vs. Bruins D
While the Bruins have made waves with their offense, their defense is nothing to balk at.
Their unit is ranked 69th in the FBS, fairing much better against the pass than the run.
Against Houston, UCLA cornerback Sheldon Price had three picks. Sean Mannion will look to mitigate Price's effect on the game by stretching the field. What better way to do that than with both Markus Wheaton and Brandin Cooks.
Both these squads match up well on paper, but UCLA continues to show flaws against the run. If OSU's unit can start to gel, they should be able to do some damage.
Injury Update: freshman center Isaac Seaumalo sat out during bye week practices due to a sore hip. He's since returned and looks good to start against UCLA.
Bruins O vs. Beavs D
After shutting down Wisconsin on the ground, the Beaver's once again face another huge test.
UCLA tailback Johnathan Franklin was on a tear in out of conference play, racking up 541 yards and eight touchdowns. The Bruins know how to pound the ground, and if that doesn't work they're comfortable giving things to QB Brett Hundley.
Against Wisconsin, the two players that really stood out for Oregon State were cornerback Tyrequek Zimmerman and defensive lineman Dylan Wynn. Both players are key for another dominating effort.
OSU isn't going to shut down UCLA like they did Wisconsin, but they've proved they can slow down the run. Now they just have to do it again.
This is going to be a huge test for both teams.
Oregon State was good against Wisconsin, but the Badgers haven't been as good as advertised. UCLA was great in out of conference play, but two of their games came against Rice and Houston.
This game is going to tell us a lot about these two teams. Either the Beavers come up huge on defense and seal the deal, or they falter and lose a third straight year to the Bruins.
In the end this is going to be a great game between two evenly matched teams. The home field advantage puts UCLA just over the top in my book.

10 Top Halloween Celebrations in New England – Where Ghouls Come Out To Play
Why is it that New England embraces the Halloween season with more gusto than any other regions of the country? Perhaps it's our early roots and tumultuous history filled with ghoulish tales like the Salem witch trials, headless horseman, and ancient burial grounds. No matter the reason, the end of October finds communities all across New England constructing large displays of carved pumpkins, cutting corn mazes and decorating haunted houses.
Here's a look at some of the best getaways in New England to celebrate the Halloween season and to escape for some ghoulish fun:

India gifts embassy to Palestine, pledge $20 million aidOctober 7th, 2008 - 9:02 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS) In a gesture reaffirming unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, India Tuesday announced an assistance of $20 million to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and gifted it a new embassy that is being built in the heart of the capital's diplomatic enclave.Prime Minister Manmohan Singh held talks with PNA President Mahmoud Abbas, who is on a four-day state visit to India, on a wide range of subjects, including the peace process in West Asia.
The two leaders laid the foundation stone of the chancery-cum-residence complex of the embassy of Palestine and formally dedicated the building "to the people of Palestine as a gift from the people of India".
"I reiterated to President Abbas India's consistent support to a negotiated solution to the Palestine issue," Manmohan Singh said at a function organized at the ground of the the proposed chancery-cum-residence complex at Chanakyapuri area.
"India believes that the solution should be based on the relevant United Nations resolution, the Arab Peace Plan and the chartered roadmap resulting in a sovereign, independent, viable and united state of Palestine living in a secure border, side by side with Israel," stressed Manmohan Singh.
He also announced a grant of $10 million as budgetary support to the PNA to help meet its immediate requirements and another $10 million dollars as assistance for development projects.
An agreement on the construction of a school in the name of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru in Abu Dees in Palestine was also signed between the two sides.
Thanking India for its consistent support to the Palestinian cause, Abbas said: "I would like to be very frank and say that India has given help and assistance to Palestine without asking for any favour in return.
"India is playing an important role in all fields (concerning Palestine), including the peace process… We appreciate India's support," Abbas said.
A Palestinian spokesman said: "The two leaders discussed a range of issues including chalking a roadmap for future cooperation and developmental works in Palestine."
Abbas' visit comes at a time when the West Asia peace process is under strain even as India is increasingly seen as a credible interlocutor by Palestine and Israel due to its excellent relations with both sides.
However, a cautious India, which was among the first countries to recognize the declaration of the state of Palestine in 1988, has refrained from getting directly involved so far.
With some political opponents accusing the Manmohan Singh government of betraying the Palestinian cause, New Delhi has designated Abbas' trip as "state visit" to underline its special ties with the Palestinian people.
PNA Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki and other senior officials are accompanying Abbas on this state visit to India.
Abbas also met President Pratibha Patil, Vice-President Hamid Ansari, United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Leader of Opposition L.K. Advani.
The visit is seen as a balancing exercise by New Delhi in view of its rapid expansion of diplomatic, military and trade ties with Tel Aviv since it recognized Israel in 1992. Israel is now the second largest arms supplier to India after Russia.

RUSSIA'S STREET OF SECRETS; MOLOTOV'S MAGIC LANTERN: A JOURNEY IN RUSSIAN HISTORY by Rachel Polonsky (Faber, [Pounds Sterling]20)
Byline: SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE
ONE of the delights of Moscow for the historian is that the Asiatic, gargantuan and sprawling capital with its wide skies is still full of secrets. There is one particular small street in Moscow that holds both many of the secrets of the Soviet era and many connections to the aristocratic and literary era of the Romanovs.
It was Rachel Polonsky's luck that when she and her husband (a top lawyer) arrived in Moscow, they happened to rent an apartment in the most secret building in this secret street.
Number Three Romanov Street is a huge, turn-of-the-century apartment building containing palatial apartments, two of which were still owned in the 21st century by the Molotov family. Soon after she arrived, Polonsky was invited by her neighbour, who was renting Molotov's own apartment, to examine the old monster's library and treasures: she found there a magic lantern which has furnished her imagination because, as she says, "a look back at the past is a magic-lantern show".
She explains how she strayed from her original plan: "Instead of the scholarly masterpiece on orientalism I had in mind, I have written this book, which recounts my wanderings among the muddle of past time that books and places make ... I have travelled from our home close to the Kremlin Wall whenever I had the chance, following whims, hunches and bookish romances ..." Stalin's most loyal henchman, mocked by Lenin and Trotsky for his stupidity, nicknamed Stone-Arse for his capacity for work, Soviet Premier during the slaughter of collectivisation and the Terror of 1937, Foreign Minister during the Second World War, believer and practitioner of mass-killings and signer of death lists, Vyacheslav Molotov retired to this building and managed to become the owner of two of these splendid apartments.
Molotov, who was born in 1890 and lived to almost 100, was a reader and bibliophile: Polonsky finds much treasure in his huge library of books.
After the Revolution, most of the Bolshevik magnates lived in the Kremlin until 1937, when Stalin moved them to this building: virtually the entire Party and military leadership (except Stalin and Beria) -- Khrushchev, Malenkov, Bulganin, Voroshilov and Marshals Budyonny, Koniev and Zhukov -- resided there. During the Thirties, many of the inhabitants were arrested and shot on the orders of other leaders living in the same building, their children still playing together. Most of these families continued to live in this building until recently.
Although Polonsky begins her journey with Molotov, his lantern, his books and this historic building, from here she embarks on a journey right through Russian history and literature. …

GAYLORD — Roughly half of all car-deer crashes in Otsego County occur in the fall, especially in November, which is the peak breeding month for white-tail deer, according to the Michigan State Police.
Trooper Jamie Voss cautions motorists to be extra vigilant for the remainder of the month when traveling, especially during the hours of dawn and dusk when deer are most active. Voss said troopers from the post handled 18 car-deer accidents during the first week of November.
Statistics from the state police indicate there are more than 60,000 reported car-deer crashes in Michigan each year, with about 80 percent occurring on two-lane roads between dusk and dawn.
The state police offer the following tips for motorists to avoid a car-deer crash:
• Stay aware, awake and sober. Crashes occur year round, but be especially alert in spring and fall.
• Deer are herd animals and frequently travel in single-file. If you see one deer crossing the road, chances are there are more waiting to cross. Be alert for deer at dawn and dusk.
• Don't rely on gimmicks, flashing your high beam headlights or honking to deter deer.
• If a crash is unavoidable don't swerve. Brake firmly and bring your vehicle to a controlled stop. Pull off the road, turn on your emergency flashers and be cautious of other traffic if you leave your vehicle. Report the crash to the nearest police agency and to your insurance agency.

Eine Deutsche VolkssageDVD - 2009
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
F. W. Murnau's screen adaptation of Goethe's defining work is a phantasmagorical mix of high tragedy and dark expressionism whose eroticism and flashes of nudity were quite daring for the time. With an unlimited budget and a crew of cinematic visionaries, his silent masterpiece alternates scenes of domestic tranquility with horror and heart-rending sorrow—a leering devil spreads his wings over the spires of a sleeping village while a woman cradles her dying infant and smiling children weave garlands of daisies unaware of the evil set to pounce upon them. With his open face reflecting an aura of melancholy Gösta Ekman is perfectly cast as the betrayed Faust—playing him as both a grizzled senior and doe-eyed young man—while Camilla Horn has you reaching for the tissues in her role of Gretchen, an innocent virgin despoiled by Faust's unchecked libido. But it is screen legend Emil Jannings who ultimately owns the film, his portrayal of the impish Mephisto a master class in fawning seduction and diabolical guile. A tad long at almost two hours and with a few narrative detours that were unnecessarily padded, this is still a sterling example of pioneer cinema before the advent of CGI, Technicolor, and Dolby Surround.
loved this movie. rarely watch silents, but this; if not only for the music, totally kept my attention. like reading a book, I couldn't wait to turn the page. I recommend this movie. 5 stars!!
mid-way through, between turns of the hourglass, there was unexpected comic relief with Gretchen's Tante Marthe and the very devilish young Mephisto
well done, good music.
This was an enjoyable treat of an old film. What is more remarkable is that the message of the film was evident.
Seelochan Beharry
The special effects were impressive. The story moved along nicely. One of the best silent movies I have seen.
I was absolutely, positively *blown away* by the special effects (superimposed, lighting tricks, etc.) that Murnau used in this impressive landmark. I wasn't aware that they were that tech savvy almost ninety years ago. Gösta Ekman was brilliant as Faust, the tormented old sage, and Emil Jannings was tremendous as the malicious Mephisto. Unfortunately, I felt Murnau devoted just a wee bit too much time on young Faust's courtship of Gretchen; the momentum suffered when he and Mephisto's evil pact was put aside for a little too long. Necessary for character development, I suppose. Solid, heart-wrenching ending, though. Wonderful score from Timothy Brock and The Olympia Chamber Orchestra, also. FIVE STARS.

Mariners' Museum has new landmark
On Tuesday November 11, The MarinersÕ Museum will dedicate its new entrance wall, located at the intersection of Warwick Boulevard and the Avenue of the Arts. The entrance is another phase in the completion of the Cultural Corridor, which includes the Peninsula Fine Arts Center, the Virginia Living Museum, and Christopher Newport University's Ferguson Center. The new entrance wall, designed by the renowned architectural firm of Carlton Abbot & Partners of Williamsburg, replaces the small propeller that had been a landmark for the community for many generations. The propeller was removed in 2004 at the start of improvements to the intersection by the Virginia Department of Transportation. The centerpiece of the new wall is a 34-ton propeller from the SS United States, one of our nation's fastest and most famous luxury vessels built by Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in the late 1940s. The propeller was formerly located at the business entrance to The Mariners' Museum and was moved to the intersection by Hampton Roads Crane & Rigging on September 4. Sitting atop an original 63-foot long shaft above a cascading fountain, the new propeller pays tribute to the rich maritime history of the area, marking the entrance to one of the nation's greatest international maritime history museums.

Bachchan returns as 'Millionaire' host
Bollywood star helped to make game show a hitNEW DELHI -- Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan will return as the host of the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" that will air on Sony Entertainment Television towards the end of the year.
Bachchan, 67, first hosted "Kaun Banega Crorepati" in 2000 when it debuted on News Corp.'s Star Plus and became a sensation, turning the fortunes of both the channel and himself, making a comeback after a lull in his film career.
Since then, Bachchan has hosted two more seasons of "KBC," with the previous season hosted by superstar Shah Rukh Khan, all of which aired on Star Plus.
As in the past, "KBC"'s fourth season will also be produced by TV production house Big Synergy, which has adapted various international formats such as "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" and "Power of 10." The second season of the local version of "Power of 10" will also return to SET later this year.
"I am grateful to Sony Entertainment Television for giving me this opportunity. The show is very close to my heart. 'KBC' is a good television habit, it brings the whole family together and knowledge is shared in the most interesting and entertaining way. I've always been in touch with my audience/viewers and 'KBC' is a great way to engage with them," Bachchan said in an official announcement Wednesday.
"We are pleased to bring 'KBC' – a format owned by [SET] to Indian viewers. Once we decided to launch the show, the only name which came to our mind was that of Amitabh Bachchan," SET COO N.P. Singh added.
SET has been slipping down the ratings charts against established rivals Star Plus, Zee TV and relative new entrant Colors.
Meanwhile, SET parent Multi Screen Media has been in the spotlight in recent months, embroiled in allegations over financial payoffs for TV rights for its lucrative property, cricket's Indian Premier League. In addition, IPL commissioner Lalit Modi was suspended in April by the Board of Control for Cricket in India for "alleged acts of individual misdemeanors" that are currently under investigation.


text: Deleting voice memos from iTunes doesn't delete them from the phone. According to the user manual, if I select my phone on the left sidebar, then choose the music tab on the right, check "include voice memos", then iTunes should sync my voice memos - and it does this fine! But the user manual also says that deleting memos on the phone will not delete in iTunes (again fine), but it says deleting from the voice memos from iTunes WILL delete them from the voice memo app on the iPhone on the next sync - but this is not working for me. I've tried every conceivable option that I know of - unticking "include voice memos" doesn't seem to have any effect whatsoever - memos sync from the phone to iTunes regardless, and a Voice Memos playlist is still created in iTunes. I tried deleting the voice memo sound files from the Music section of iTunes, instead of just deleting from the "Voice Memos" playlist (the memos show up in the iTunes music section in an album, which uses the name of my phone as the name of the album). Still can't delete from phone on next sync! Am I missing something? Perhaps it's a glitch (?), or there is a setting I don't know about. Any help is appreciated - thanks in advance

Chopin Statue, Warsaw
The Chopin Statue is a large bronze statue of Frédéric Chopin that now stands in the upper part of Warsaw's Royal Baths Park aka Łazienki Park, adjacent to Aleje Ujazdowskie (Ujazdów Avenue).
It was designed in 1907 by Wacław Szymanowski for its planned erection on the centenary of Chopin's birth in 1810 but its execution was delayed by controversy about the design, then by the outbreak of World War I. The statue was finally cast and erected in 1926.[1]
During World War II, the statue was blown up on May 31, 1940.[2][3] It was the first monument that was destroyed by the occupying Germans in Warsaw.[4] According to local legend, the next day a handwritten sign was found at the site which read: "I don't know who destroyed me, but I know why: so that I won't play the funeral march for your leader."[citation needed]
Professor Oskar Sosnowski designed the pedestal and basin, which are made of red Wąchock sandstone.
The original mould for the statue, which had survived the war, made it possible to cast a replica, which was placed at the original site in 1958.[1] At the statue's base, since 1959, on summer Sunday afternoons are performed free piano recitals of Chopin's compositions. [5]
The stylized willow over Chopin's seated figure echoes a pianist's hand and fingers, and the Polish eagle's head on the right end.
A 1:1-scale replica of Szymanowski's statue stands in Hamamatsu, Japan. There are also preliminary plans to erect another replica along Chicago's lakefront, in addition to a different sculpture commemorating the artist in Chopin Park, for the 200th anniversary of Chopin's birth (2010).[6]
Szymanowski's statue was the world's tallest Chopin monument until the unveiling, on March 3, 2007, of the slightly taller, modernistic bronze in Shanghai, China.
