Hi Everyone, we're going to start just a little early with questions submitted via the forums. Here we go! #LOTRO
Q1: bgriggs: Are the current virtues and traits being incorporated into the new system at all? #LOTRO
A1: HoarseDev: Virtues will remain mostly the same. Traits are now completely rolled into the new system. #LOTRO
Q2: Yulin-Gladden: How will these changes effect Mounted combat? Are those skils getting a revamp as well? #LOTRO
A2: Deviled_Egg: Any benefits gained from these new traits will be isolated from Mounted Combat. #LOTRO
Q3: Leixy: Using war-steeds as a template, how will trait points be earned and spent on trait trees? #LOTRO
A3: HoarseDev: You'll earn a point every other level. You'll also earn points from some deeds. #LOTRO
A3a:You'll choose a specialization at an early level that will grant specific bonuses and affect the cost of traits as you spend them #LOTRO
Q4: WertyJohn: Are you going to revamp combat animations too? #LOTRO
A4: Jinjaah: We are addressing animations on a case by case basis.#LOTRO
A4a: Some are far too long and are being shortened to increase responsiveness.#LOTRO
A4b: Ferocious Strikes for Champions is an example of this. #LOTRO
Q5: banjolier: For players who spent TP to unlock trait slots, how will you convert our existing purchases to the new system? #LOTRO
A5: HoarseDev: Your specialization choice gives you access to bonuses as you spend points. #LOTRO
A5a: These are unlocked in the same way as the old slots and those purchases carry over to the new system. #LOTRO
Q6: Laire: Will we be able to save different trait set-ups? If so, how many? #LOTRO
A6: HoarseDev: Two set-ups to start. You can purchase more if you like. #LOTRO
Q7: Grhysli: How much of this new system is going to be gated behind the LOTRO Store? #LOTRO
A7: HoarseDev: Only the slots similar to the old Premium/F2P purchases and additional builds after the two you get for free. #LOTRO
Q8: Schinderhannes: Will the update allow us to use 4 legendary traits at the same time? #LOTRO
A8: HoarseDev: No, but the ones you have will be more potent. #LOTRO
A8a: Deviled_Egg: Legendary traits are now a part of each trait tree, and are available for purchase at the end of the tree. #LOTRO
A8b: There is also a Legendary Passive bonus that depends on your specialization.#LOTRO
A8c: This will be unlocked when you spend a certain number of points overall. #LOTRO
Q9: Mildford: Will the new traits system be offered to creeps too? #LOTRO
A9: Jinjaah: Creeps will be getting Corruption Set Bonuses but not full on trait trees. #LOTRO
Q10: Grimdi: Will there be detailed dev diaries on the upcoming class/system changes before HD release? #LOTRO
A10: Deviled_Egg: We are planning to release dev diaries for each class. #LOTRO
A10a: Sapience: I see many long hours of editing in my future... #LOTRO
Q11: Raven-EU: What was the primary driver(s) for this change? #LOTRO
A11: Jinjaah: I think there were two main things that drove these changes: #LOTRO
A11a: 1. We wanted to design the trait trees in such a way that as soon as you leave the intro, #LOTRO
A11b: your trait line starts to play as it was envisioned instead of later on down the road when you began to collect traits. #LOTRO
A11c: 2. We really wanted each trait line to sort of stand out from the rest and reduce some of the class homogenization #LOTRO
A11d: that had slowly occurred over the years. #LOTRO
Q12: Zombielord: Will retraiting still require our character visiting a bard/class trainer? (Hope not) #LOTRO
A12: Jinjaah: Nope! Respeccing your trait tree can be done on the fly so long as you are out of combat. #LOTRO
A12a: Deviled_Egg: The process is similar to how you re-trait in Mounted Combat #LOTRO
Q13: Silmelin: Can minstrels still switch (with in game silver) between being as strong as possible War-speech minstrels #LOTRO
Q13a: who can enjoy all the solo content of the game, and as strong as possible healers who'll get invited to Instances and Raids? #LOTRO
A13: HoarseDev: You can switch builds with silver. #LOTRO
Q14: Judi: Will there be a new class added to the game? #LOTRO
A14: HoarseDev: Not for Helm's Deep. #LOTRO
Q15: Laire: Using all of their points, on average how many active skills does a 85 toon have? #LOTRO
A15: Jinjaah: Our goal, and it isn't the same across the board, is for all classes to have around 20 skills after spending all their points.
A15a: Things like travel paths will not count towards this cap. #LOTRO
Q16: medwulf: will the class changes affect LI's and Legacies at all? #LOTRO
A16: HoarseDev: Ugh, we have a lot of updating to do. #LOTRO
Q17: Moochi: How will the new system afford us the same flexibility we have now, #LOTRO
Q17a: without buying many trait sets through the store? #LOTRO
A17: Jinjaah: A lot of time and effort was put into the construction of the trees to encourage spending points #LOTRO
A17a: in trees that you did not specialize in. #LOTRO
A17b: The new system should offer various forms of hybridization to explore.#LOTRO
Q18: @BhorisTheSpider Will the class changes mean a L95 character may be less potent (healing/damage) than an corresponding L85 character? #LOTRO
A18: HoarseDev: They'll be more potent in their specialization. This will come at the cost of broad utility.
Q19: @greendragoon Is there going to be any effort to streamline the Warden's massive (and convoluted) abilitiy list? #LOTRO
A19: DeviledEgg In short, yes. Some gambits are being trimmed, some are being placed in different specialization.
A19a: The total number of gambits will be decided by how you choose to specialize.
Q20: @osmihu Can you give some specific examples of specializations? #LOTRO
A20: Jinjaah The hunter could choose between the bowmaster or huntsman. #LOTRO
A20a: Huntsman has less range, but can induct on the move. #LOTRO
A20b: Where the bowmaster has much greater range, but must plant his feet to deal damage. #LOTRO
Q21: @ForgotMyGambits Hunters currently have a lot of skills. Will there be skill consolidation? #LOTRO
A21: JinJaah Yes. There is some skill consolidation to reduce the overall skill count to around 20.
A21a: Per specialization. Travel skills won't count towards that number. #LOTRO
Q22: @brrzap can we change specializations later or is this a 1-time choice? #lotro
A22: DeviledEGG Yes you can change your specializations. Respecing your tree will also allow you to choose a new specialization.
Q23: @osmihu Will skills still be purchased from the trainer or gained from the tree? #LOTRO
A23: JinJaah Some will be gained from the tree, others will be auto-granted based on level. #LOTRO
Q24: @mavegibson Will there be dramatic changes to the skills we have, and will there be skills specific to our trait lines? #LOTRO
A24: All: Yes and yes!
Q25: @ElinneaG Will new characters be able to see all the traits/skills before choosing a specialization? #LOTRO
A25: HoarseDev Yes. You'll be able to see all specializations and trees before deciding. #LOTRO
Q26: @Gihalahad will players have to sacrifice surviveability for damage?
A26: HoarseDev. Yes and vice versa. Though there is room to dip into both.
Q27: @nick_wilbur you guys keep saying specialization will be chosen at a low level & bonuses granted. Initially, what can we expect with toons at 85?
A27: DeviledEGG We'll autogrant you the correct number of points for your level. #LOTRO
A27a: Deeds that previously gave traits will give trait points. #LOTRO
A27b: You can choose your specialization and spend your points when you login when HD goes live. #LOTRO
Q28: @landlover64 how different will the play style of our characters be with the changes to how they play now? #LOTRO
A28: DeviledEgg They'll still feel like the class you know, just better versions. #LOTRO
A28a: Jinjaah They should feel better catered to the role they were destined to fill. #LOTRO
Q29: @miofli Will certain currently unused trait lines, eg the yellow hunter line, change role? #LOTRO
A29: Jinjaah Traitlines like the hunter's yellow line are being revamped more than others. #LOTRO
A29a: DeviledEGG In general we want each traitline to feel just as good as the next. #LOTRO
Q30: @corynettnin Classes like cappies and champs are considered off-tanks. Will these changes move them closer or further from being "real" tanks?
A30: DeviledEGG Each tanking specialization will be effective, but in its own way. #LOTRO
Q31: @skinnynakedboy will all hunter traps become skills and are there going to be more traps available as they have potential but are underrated #LOTRO
A31: Jinjahh Hunter traps are becoming skills.
A31a: They will be usable in combat and some have had their potency changed to make them feel less 'underrated'. #LOTRO
Q32: @Aelrindel what about creeps classes and traits? #LOTRO
A32: Jinjaah Creeps will be getting corruption set bonuses. #LOTRO
A32a: These bonuses give various buffs and effects based on the corruptions slotted. #LOTRO
Q33: @Scoed To respec for silver, will we have to refund and respend all points, or just the parts we want to change? #LOTRO
A33: HoarseDev It's all or nothing. #LOTRO
Q34: @Ranni Will the trap skills share a common cool down? #LOTRO
A34: Jinjaah No, they will each have their own cool down. #LOTRO
Q35: @Merry_Forest88 Can we expect increase of power and abilities from under-power Lore-Master Pets and Captain Herald? #LOTRO
A35: DeviledEGG We are trying to better balance the potency of LM pets and Capt. Heralds. #LOTRO
Q36: @eldaeriel can you tell us any timeframes? For dev diaries, beta testing of changes #lotro
A36: Sapience You can expect to see them "Soon". You'll get an 11.3 Dev diary first. End of the week. #LOTRO
Q37: @Lord_Dolvic will we still have "use skill X" deeds, legendary trait page deeds and quests? Will they now reward trait points? #LOTRO
A37: DeviledEGG Completing these deeds will now reward trait points.
A37a: Jinjaah If you have already completed these deeds, your progress will be carried over. #LOTRO
Q38: @Crappledumpkins Recently chickens & a referee have been spotted at the Hobnanigans field again. Will this event be returning soon?
A38: Amlug WE're working on it. WE have no ETA, but we'd like to see this make a return. #LOTRO
Q39: @leixicon will all trait lines still be auto-unlocked for VIPs? #LOTRO
A39: Hoarsedev Yes they will. #LOTRO
Q40: @JVaughn227 What's being done to address the current in game lag and severity of it?
Q40: Sapience Some changes are going in to address mounted combat lag with Update 11.3.
Q40a: We also continue to add more monitoring tools to help isolate other issues.
Q41: @paspinall42 What about the disparity in the class deeds,, with changes in levels for skills and the like some can complete faster than others.
A41: DeviledEGG We're aware of this issue and we're addressing it. #LOTRO
That's all the time we have today! Thanks for all the great questions. A transcript will be posted to the forums shortly. #LOTRO

"I've always had stubborn belly fat, and no matter how much I exercised the fat wouldn't budge. I got told about Infuse Beauty Rooms through a friend of mine. Originally I opted for the 3 months fat freeze as I had read some good reviews. It's now 6 weeks down the line and I've already noticed a significant reduction on my belly fat. I'm going for the lipo cavitation next for tummy sculpting. Shaz is amazing and professional and has made me feel extremely comfortable throughout treatments. She's very honest with what I should get done and best route for me personally."

Mash'Allah after having had a few Dermalogica and Environ facials my skin started to feel amazing. I can't thank Shazia enough for making my skin spot and bump free for my wedding. It's been a year now and Mash'Allah I am spot free and 90% scar free! Defo recommend xx "

A shrimp boil is one of my favorite parties —–no dirty dishes. This is also a completely portable party. My favorite spot is on the beach. When we have a large crowd, we borrow an extra turkey fryer or two. The following recipe uses 1 large 34 quart turkey fryer with a strainer basket that goes almost to the top of the pot. One pot serves about 10-12 people.
First cover your entire table with freezer paper, shiny side up. Let the cooking begin!
Printable Shopping List and Instructions
Fill turkey fryer about 2/3 full of water. Bring to a boil and add 2 pkgs of Zatarain's spice mix, 1/4 – 1/2 bottle Zatarain's Shrimp and Crab oil, 1 cup of salt and garlic. Boil for 15 minutes
Add potatoes, boil for 7-8 minutes
Corn goes in next for 5 minutes (if corn is frozen you might need to turn up the heat for a minute to get your water boiling again)
Add kielbasa, cook for 8 minutes
Add onions, and squeeze lemon juice into pot and then toss the lemons into the water, boil 3- 4 minutes (oops picture is wrong – add the garlic at the beginning!)
Add shrimp and cook 5 minutes or just until shrimp turns pink.
Turn off the heat, immediately pull basket from the water and let drain.
Pour contents of basket onto your freezer paper covered table
Serve with sliced baguette sprinkled down the table and bottles of squeeze butter, cocktail sauce and spicy mustard. Remember NO knives, forks, spoons or plates allowed! This is all finger food and condiments are squeezed directly onto the table! When finished just roll up the paper and give everyone a finger wipe!
Put on some Zydeco (zi-dee-coe) music and have a great time!

ROCHESTER � Bail has been revoked for the Barrington man accused of committing multiple burglaries in the area, including in Rochester, Dover, and Somersworth.
Kevin Agnew, 25, of 35 Quaker Lane in Barrington, who has been awaiting trial for multiple burglary charges at Strafford County House of Corrections, was indicted on an additional burglary charge last month, in connection with an incident in Somersworth.
Agnew had been ordered held on $100,000 cash-only bail at an arraignment in August, after a grand jury indicted him on 12 burglary charges, Class B felonies, in July.
Those burglaries � in Rochester and Dover � allegedly took place between April and May while Agnew was out on bail. He had allegedly violated bail conditions by cutting off his GPS bracelet in March. At the time, he was being supervised by Strafford County Community Corrections after being charged with burglarizing a Back Road home in Dover in October 2011.
Agnew is accused of committing at least 12 burglaries after cutting off the GPS bracelet, before his bail was revoked on May 21.
On Sept. 20, a grand jury indicted Agnew on another Class B felony burglary charge, alleging he entered a Salmon Falls Road home in Somersworth on May 2 with the purpose to commit a crime.
During a preliminary pretrial conference on Sept. 25, bail for Agnew was revoked, and another preliminary pretrial conference has been scheduled.
�Court finds there is no set of conditions that would ensure Defendant�s compliance,� according to a court document, dated Sept. 25.
Another preliminary pretrial conference on Agnew�s charges will take place Nov. 28, at 9 a.m., at Strafford County Superior Court.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt; rather, it means a jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
Bail revoked for suspect in Dover, Rochester and Somersworth burglaries

This is a 1993 reprint by Anglia Publishing (ISBN 1-897874-01-4) of the original 1940 Catalogue by J B Ward Perkins.
To say the book is dated would be stating the obvious - "it does not reflect latest thoughts on the dating or significance of medieval objects", to quote the appreciation at the start of the book, but it does bring together a reliable cross-section of things used every day in medieval England and includes numerous typologies of things such as stirrups, keys, shears, axes, spurs, horseshoes and so on. These provide a reasonable and useful idea of the development of each object over time and help to underline the fact that "medieval" does not mean one homogenous period when everything remained unchanged and static.
There are a number of errors in identifying objects, such as the bronze openwork pommels on page 23, which are no longer thought to be sword pommels, and the now-discredited arrowhead typology still being used (bizarrely) by the Royal Armouries and elsewhere.
Approached with caution, this is useful and helpful book.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The fire that damaged the speaker cabinets adjacent to the video display at Crew Stadium last weekend isn't an excuse for wholesale upgrades to Major League Soccer's first soccer-specific stadium. At least not yet.
"Once everybody got past the fact we had a fire and what that actually could have been, it starts you thinking maybe this is an opportunity to upgrade our scoreboard, which after 15 seasons would be nice," Crew president and general manager Mark McCullers told MLSsoccer.com.
"Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, our video board is fully operational and we were able to salvage about half our speaker cabinets."
READ: Scoreboard at Crew Stadium functioning normally after fire
He's able to make light of the situation because no one was hurt and the game vs. D.C. United was played after a 51-minute delay to douse the flames, but the situation raised questions as to how much more money should be invested in the facility.
It was MLS' crown jewel when it opened in 1999 as the first soccer-specific stadium in the league, but has since been surpassed by the 12 others that followed.
"We would not have any if [Crew founder] Lamar Hunt had not built the first one here with Crew Stadium," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said at press conference here on Thursday.
However, the ownership has looked at sites for a new stadium. There have been no tangible plans, however, and Thursday's announcement by McCullers that there will be an upgrade to a portion of the seats in the 20,145-capacity stadium means the organization will work with what it has for now.
McCullers said 1,400 midfield seats in three sections on the east side (opposite the team benches) will be converted to chair-back from bleachers to match seating for the Center Circle Club on the other side, part of the team's effort to increase corporate and premium season tickets.
In turn, a healthier attendance could help attract long-sought naming rights to the stadium by a local company, and McCullers said it's a four-step process: introduction, presentation, evaluation and negotiation.
"We were in the evaluation stage with one company," he said. "That company has passed. We have a handful of other companies that are either in introduction or presentation stage. One is in evaluation stage. None are in the negotiation stage."
READ: Columbus to host MLS Business summit for second straight year
The Commissioner is anxious to strike a deal.
"This stadium deserves to have one of the great local companies that are such a big part of the economy here in central Ohio step up and put their name on this stadium," Garber said.
At the same time, the Crew are looking for a private-public partnership to invest in a new training facility to replace the one in Obetz that opened in 1997.
The team has been pursuing land at an interchange on I-71 about 20 miles north of downtown Columbus as one option.
"I'm still very hopeful," McCullers said. "There's still multiple conversations that are very realistic that could close this year. That has not been the case over the past four years."

Open enrollment for health insurance for this calendar year ends in less than two weeks. If you do not have a qualified health plan, you will be subject to a tax penalty when you file your 2014 taxes. The penalty for the first year is up to $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, or 1 percent of family income, whichever is greater.
- To be covered starting April 1, you must apply, select and pay for a health plan by 5 p.m. on March 23.

If you want to understand the depths of confusion in California, read this story from last week in the LA Times reporting on a new USC/LA Times poll. The big revelation is supposed the finding that -- oh my goodness -- a majority of Californians are willing to pay more taxes if the money goes to education.
No kidding. Every poll I've seen in 10 years writing about California politics has found something similar. And you may have noticed that Californians keep electing Democratic legislatures -- and mostly Democratic statewide officials -- who are pretty open about the fact that they'd love to raise taxes to pay more for schools.
So a poll is pointless. The point of saying this again is: if a majority of Californians want more taxes and more education, why don't they get it?
U.S. & World
For two reasons: 1) Because when you press them, Californians like raising taxes that affect other people more than themselves. And 2) Because California's system is set up to prevent majorities from getting their way. In fact, the state budget system has so many supermajorities, spending mandates, and other rules that it is effectively a system of minority rule. A minority party or a spending lobby can use these rules to frustrate the will of the majority.
Instead of recycling old polling findings, USC scholars should be spending time and resources figuring out ways to fix the system -- and ways of getting elites and California voters alike to embrace them.

Prospect of the Week (12.19.11)
This season we introduced our Prospect of the Week award, an honor (virtually) given to one Tampa Bay Lightning prospect for their on-ice contributions. There are no trophies or plaques, but consider this as an extra gift in a stocking. A stocking of awesome.
Quite simply, we wanted to highlight prospects throughout the year to help fans get better acquainted with the next round of Lightning stars while recognizing the prospect's achievement on the ice.
This week's BP Prospect of the Week award goes to … Mark Barberio, Norfolk Admirals.
A second year pro, Barberio continues to put up ridiculous numbers for a defenseman in the AHL. The six-foot, 200-pound defenseman had five assists over the weekend to bring his league leading point total for defensemen to 26 in 28 games. He has three goals to go with his 23 assists this year.
Barberio, a product of the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL, had 31 points in 68 games as a rookie with Norfolk last season. He was taken in the sixth round by the Lightning in 2008.
Barberio started his weekend with two assists and a plus-2 rating Friday in a loss to Hershey. After going scoreless and plus-1 in a win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday, he added three more helpers Sunday in a revenge win in Hershey. He was named second star on Sunday as he also went plus-3. He has a plus-8 rating over his last four games and is currently tied for the league lead in plus/minus with a plus-19 rating.
The Montreal native projects as a puck moving defenseman at the NHL level, but is at least a year away from making an impact. His skating has improved since his draft year, but now he must improve his play in his own zone while continuing to be a weapon on offense. He's in the right organization to put up big numbers at the NHL level someday. (Pilot Online photo)

An early 4-3 from the 1956 game between the Rams and the Bears. The Bears tie the game at 7-7 on this play.
Though Zimmerman suggests extensive widespread adoption of the 4-3 in 1957 after the Giants championship, perhaps some clubs were jumping on the bandwagon a little earlier than that. The flexing of tackles, similar to Tom's Landry's 4-3 inside, may have been borrowing via film study. Sid Gillman was a well known film junkie during his days with the Rams (1).
We'll continue with three interesting quotes from Paul Brown's 1979 autobiography (2).
The first quote covers the 5-2 Eagle..
Neale had built a fine, wing T running attack around Van Buren, the NFL's rushing champion, who had gained nearly 3,000 yards in three seasons. He had also designed the Eagle Defense, a concept that had become very popular in the NFL. It was built with a tight five man line, two linebackers to jam the ends as they tried to release downfield, and four defensive backs, which was innovative in pro football at the time.
The thing to note is the role of the two linebackers. So, in comparison to Eagle defenses today, very often you're going to find linebackers in Earle Neale's defense playing a 6 or 7 technique, instead of a 50 (See the image in my previous 1950s article).
Next, Steve Owen's 6-1.
…we noticed that if we kept our two setbacks in to block when their ends came on a pass rush, their only linebacker, Jack Cannady, could not effectively cover the short passes. Conversely, if their ends did not come in on a pass rush, we could release our two backs into the short areas away from their coverage. The key in either case was to throw short and not to try and challenge them with our deep passes.
And of Tom Landry's defenses circa 1958.
New York, under its defense coach, Tom Landry, had built its great defense utilizing the same "flex" concept Landry still uses with the Dallas Cowboys. Its key is the great discipline it exacts from each lineman and outside linebacker. They must control and stay with a defined area – whether or not the play comes to them – long enough for the middle linebacker and defensive backs to give support making the tackles
I'll note that Paul Brown is assuming that the "flex" concept is identical to gap control, a common element in all the major Landry defenses. We discuss the differences between Tom's New York defenses, the 4-3 inside/outside, and his later 4-3 flex, here.
I've read big chunks of the two Sam Huff autobiographies out there. The later book, "Controlled Violence", affirms that the 4-3 inside and 4-3 outside were in place by 1956, though in this book Sam suggests that he convinced Landry to have the defensive tackles make sure he was protected (3).
At first, he wanted me to play off the center and then pursue, but that caused me to get caught up in traffic, and wouldn't allow me to make the tackle. I came up with an idea, and asked Landry to try it out.
"Why don't you let Mo and Rosey Grier take care of the middle and let me go with the flow of the backfield?"
Tom liked the idea and put them both in a four-point stance. Neither one of them was happy about the move, but it worked.
He also suggests that Tom was in on the ground floor of the keying defense.
In the old days, a team would line up in the 4-3 and focus solely on the ball. The genius of Tom Landry changed that. He told us to watch the way the backs lined up and to watch which side of the field the tight end and flanker were lined up. These became the keys to what the offense would do once the ball was snapped.
I'm not certain how quickly knowledge of Tom's keying practices became widespread. But even in 1964, Huff's understanding of the 4-3 inside and 4-3 outside made him valuable when traded to the Redskins, and his coach was having him teach the defense to his peers.
Detroit and their adoption of the 4-3.
Joe Schmidt says (4)
The New York Giants were the first ones to play the 4-3 defense.
The Lions are supposed to have taken up the 4-3 in 1955 (5), and the best description of why comes from Rand
Though coaches realized the 5-2 left a hole in the middle, that posed no problem as long as the strong-side linebacker jammed the tight end.
"Then they started pulling the tight end off the line of scrimmage and using a slot situation," Schmidt recalled. "I'd just pound the tight end — then you were allowed to do that. As a result, they pulled him off the line to give him more freedom so he could escape and get into the pattern more. What happened then is they started pulling me back once in a while and we'd go into a 4-3. It evolved from necessity."
So how could the Lions have followed the Giants if they adopted the 4-3 in 1955? The forward to Sam Huff's first biography, written by one Tom Landry, provides clues (6).
Middle linebacker was a new position in pro football in the 1950s. I had been developing the "4-3" defense for the Giants in those couple of years before Sam's arrival.
Sam Huff was drafted in 1956. A couple years before that would be 1953 or 1954. So, if Detroit saw film of the Giants in 1954 playing a 4-3, perhaps that spurred their adoption as well.
Notes and References
(1) Katzowitz, Chapter 8.
(2) The three Brown quotes are from Brown and Clary, Chapter 9 page 197, Chapter 10, p 218, and Chapter 11, p 253.
(3) both quotes from Huff, Clark and Gifford, Chapter 2.
(4) D'Annunzio, Chapter 15, page 152. I'd love to give more of this quote but it is relatively incoherent. I think what Schmidt is trying to say is that Detroit was using a 6-1 from the day he arrived. Schmidt then notes that he had played middle linebacker in high school and college. Further, the quote would suggest that the 6-1 experience made the switch to 4-3 middle linebacker relatively easy.
(5) D'Annunzio, Chapter 4, page 51 and Rand, Chapter 4, page 36. If Detroit thinks they adopted the 4-3 in 1955, what to make of the Brown's claim that Detroit was playing a 4-3 in 1952? Perhaps the Lions thought they were playing a 6-1 at the time.

My Garden Shed Use Plan
>> Tuesday, July 3, 2012
It's been another long break between postings here on the Growing The Home Garden Shed page. If you follow me on Facebook or read my main gardening blog you know how busy I've been with starting my own nursery. It's been a challenge and even though I started off with the attitude that I should count a single customer as a success I'm constantly dreaming of "what if"s. The good thing about dreaming is that it inspires you into action. But what good is action without a plan? My overall plan has several dimensions to it one of which is the shed itself. I named my nursery Blue Shed Gardens after the shed itself that has become a focal point in our backyard. My dad and I built it together and as it turned out to be it was one of the last projects we worked on together. He passed away nearly a year ago due to a metastasized form of cancer. I'm grateful I got to spend the last few years of his life living nearby and working on projects like the garden shed. I thought naming my nursery after the project we built together was a fitting tribute.
The shed isn't just going to be for a name, its functional too. During the winter it will shelter any slightly tender plants, giving them at least a 10 degree buffer between the outdoor temperatures and the in side the shed ones. It may not sound like much but ten degrees can be the difference between a whole hardiness zone on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.
My other plan is to use the shed as a plant propagation house! I have a couple issues to solve before I can use the shed as a propagation house. My main concern is bringing down the temperature inside. I need to cover some windows with a shade cloth of some kind to prevent the skylight from letting in too much sunshine. I also need a way to circulate the air from the outside to the inside and back out again. That could be down with a fan however fans require electricity and there isn't any inside the shed! I've considered adding solar panels (aff. link to FarmTek) to the shed to provide lighting and electricity for other uses but haven't gotten around to it yet!
For propagating plants I'm constructing a mist system that will function on a set of timers to take the human error part out of the equation. In general these systems require electricity to operate the solenoid valve so I'm substituting battery powered timers hooked to the house faucet for now until I can do better.
That's the plan at the moment for the shed. I have some work to do!

The first step to creating a high-impact resume is determining what you're trying to accomplish. With a clearly defined career objective, you can write a resume that conveys the experience, skills and training that best serve your overall professional aspiration.
Hiring managers are busy folks who can't afford to waste any time trying to figure out what your career goals are. They won't take the time to do this; they'll just move on to the next resume. Do You Need an Objective Section? While it's important for your resume to include a clear career goal, you don't have to convey it through an Objective section. The majority of job seekers may incorporate their career goals into a Qualifications Summary instead.
For example, a candidate led her qualifications summary as follows: Talented and dependable secretary, skilled in all aspects of office management within nonprofit environments. Her summary continued to relay her key qualifications for an administrative position, but her introductory line enabled hiring managers to immediately recognize her goal. If you are on a steady career track, incorporating your objective into a summary sends the message "this is who I am," rather than "this is who I'd like to be when I grow up."
When you build your resume, you can use the Objective field to present your qualifications summary. When Is a Formal Objective Required? Career changers and entry-level workers should consider incorporating their objectives into their resumes, because their goals may not be clearly defined by their work history alone. If you're targeting a particular position, add a formal objective statement and reference the job opening. The hiring manager will see you took time to customize your resume and the opportunity is important to you. Sample Objectives For Career Changers: Accomplished administrator seeking to leverage extensive background in personnel management, recruitment, employee relations and benefits administration in an entry-level human resources position. Extremely motivated for career change goal and eager to contribute to a company's HR division. Entry-level Workers: Dedicated CIS graduate pursuing a helpdesk-support position. When Targeting a Specific Position: Elementary teacher for ABC School District. Tips for Writing Your Own

I love the texture of the casserole since it uses both broccoli cuts and chopped broccoli. The next time, I'm going to omit the onion since my family didn't care for it in the casserole. Other than that, it's definitely a keeper.
Dec 19, 2012
I've made this recipe at least a dozen times and it always gets rave reviews!I use only half the onion called for or its a bit too oniony for me but other than that it's an excellent recipe!
May 7, 2012
I didn't have mayo so I substituted ranch dressing and it worked out wonderfully! My husband loved it and the kids actually ate it without complaining. Also, did not have any onion on hand so used dry minced onion. Will definelty be making again!
Jan 14, 2011
I made this recipe for Christmas dinner, and everyone loved it, it's now my signature dish to bring, I added pearl onions along with diced purple onions, and I used butter crackers crushed with butter, rather than bread crumbs, I also added other spices, and extra swiss and cheddar cheese, make sure you thaw out the veggies if using frozen, it will take much longer to bake! (I found that out!) Overall this was an excellent recipe!
Nov 15, 2010
I have made this recipe 6 times now in 6 different ways. What an excellent versitile casserole! My husband isn't an onion lover so I usually add only 1tbsp dried minced onion and I always use fresh veggies. Otherwise I just change up the vegetables once-for-ounce. This time I added ~7 ounces steamed broccoli, ~7 ounces steamed cauliflower, and ~10 ounces leftover turkey. I think this was the best yet!
Dec 10, 2009
Casserole was very average - good. I like cheesier so I'd be better off searching for one a mouse would be more apt to munch. This is a nice one if one doesn't care that much for the cheese.

Big thank you to Greg Carlwood & Co for having me back over to The Higherside Chats for a conversation about Star Myths and -- just in time for Halloween, or at least for All Soul's Day -- some of the accounts of paranormal encounters at the US Military Academy at West Point.
This interview was recorded on October 18th, 2016.
Here is the link to the free version of this new show -- but I would definitely recommend subscribing to the "THC Plus" option, which costs $5 per month (a variety of subscription options are available here).
THC+ enables you to hear the full version of all the interviews, instead of the slightly shorter-duration "free version," as well as to peruse the full archives of THC goodness, with archived full-length shows going back all the way to the start of THC+ (Greg makes all the back episodes of the "free version" for free, at the archive section of the original show).
There's even a "seven-days free trial" offer, where you can use the full Plus site for seven days and then choose whether to cancel or to subscribe.
Personally, I've said many times that I believe everyone should make a habit of listening to podcasts such as THC in order to try to piece together the big picture of what's going on in this world, because there is clear evidence of the manipulation and falsification of historical "narratives" of our ancient and recent history -- very similar to what we see portrayed in the classic 1968 version of Planet of the Apes, by Dr. Zaius (who is referenced in the THC theme song; Planet of the Apes is such an important movie on so many levels that it can probably accurately be described as a sort of "Matrix before The Matrix").
For a couple of previous posts I've published about the many-layered metaphors in the original Planet of the Apes, see "Paging Dr. Zaius," "Which role are you playing?" and "Wake up Gorillas! Don't perpetrate violence."
I had the pleasure of meeting Greg through the "coincidence" of having a table next to his, way back in 2014 at the Secret Space Program and Breakaway Civilizations conference in San Mateo, California. He was selling Conspiratees shirts and promoting the show (and drinking beers, starting around 10am), and I was promoting and signing copies of The Undying Stars, which had just been published the month before.
If you're interested in checking out the first interview I did with Greg on THC back in September of that year, you can find links to that show here.
For more discussion of some of the other topics we discussed during the show, you can also check out the following links to previous posts or videos, if interested:
- This article in the West Point magazine describing the first-hand account of West Point cadet John Feeley (class of 1973), the upperclassman who encountered an apparition in Barracks 4714, when he decided to stay overnight in the room of some plebes from the company who were complaining about a paranormal visitor.
- This YouTube video containing a first-hand account from Jim O'Connor, the plebe who was there in the room that same night, and who had been one of the plebes complaining about the ghostly visitor in the first place, prompting Cadet Feeley to stay overnight in the room in order to investigate.
- A discussion of the importance of the constellation-outlining system proposed by H. A. Rey, and some illustrations of why it is so much better than the systems you often find on Wikipedia or smartphone apps.
- A "Star Myth Index" that I put together some years ago, with links to numerous Star Myths that I have discussed and illustrated on the pages of this blog.
- The "Myths" section of my newer website, which includes some additional Star Myth discussions and videos.
- Posts exploring some of the Star Myths we discussed on the show, along with some illustrations and even videos, such as the Solomon story (and video here), the Samson story (and video here), the story of Shem, Ham and Japheth, and the Mahabharata with Bhagavad Gita (and videos here and here).
- Some discussion of the evidence in fine art down through the centuries which points very strongly to the conclusion that the esoteric and celestial nature of the myths -- including the celestial nature of the Bible stories -- was known and passed down by at least some groups, even though this knowledge was kept secret.
- A discussion of the concept of the Higher Self, which seems to be a central message of Star Myths from many different cultures.
- A discussion of the vitally important goddess Seshat.
- The discussions in "The Name of the Ankh" and "The Name of the Ankh, continued," which explore Alvin Boyd Kuhn's assertion that the "N-K" and related phonemes have to do with connecting -- and may be found in the words for both Cannabis and Ganja, among many other important words (such as Kundalini).
- Some evidence that the writer we know as Paul (formerly Saul) might well have understood the ancient texts in a gnostic and not a literalist way (see also here for evidence that "The Bible is essentially shamanic," and here for evidence that virtually all the ancient myths are part of a shared ancient shamanic heritage).
- Some discussion of the fact that the world's Star Myths provide powerful evidence of a now-forgotten, extremely ancient culture of great spiritual sophistication and probably very advanced technological sophistication of a technology perhaps very different from what we know or understand -- in addition to all the archaeological evidence we find in the great celestially-aligned stone monuments around the world (with video here).
- The "Resources" section of my website, where you can find links to online versions of important historical texts related to the Star Myths of the world (there is a "resources" link at the very bottom of every page on that Star Myth World website).
Remember, both the blog and the Star Myth World website are fully searchable, so you can search for various keywords or categories in order to find more about the topics that interest you.
I hope you will enjoy the show!
Errata (The following are some "verbal typos" that I committed during the interview, which are corrected here):
Errata (The following are some "verbal typos" that I committed during the interview, which are corrected here):
- I remembered after the interview was over that the song referenced near the beginning of the interview is actually by the Exploited (link).
- The paranormal encounters described in the 1970s were in the 47th Division, which is just around the corner from the "Lost Fifties," and in fact they are all part of the same building. However, the paranormal encounter that my friend described which happened to him during our plebe year did take place in the Lost Fifties themselves. While I was a cadet, the area that I heard described as being haunted was most commonly the Lost Fifties.
- At one point in the interview while recounting that story from our plebe year, I said "boyfriend" when I meant to say "buddy." Duh.
- Fort Leavenworth is actually in Kansas, but it is right next to the river, and Missouri is right across the bridge. I actually was there at Leavenworth, however, for part of one summer for an army school (it's been awhile).

Police: Girls left in car as mom gets makeup done
WALDORF, Md. (AP) — Authorities say a woman has been charged with child neglect, accused of leaving her two young daughters in a cold car while she had her makeup done in a mall department store.
The Charles County Sheriff's Office says deputies were called to the Waldorf mall Tuesday evening by someone who heard children crying in a car outside. Police say officers found the girls, ages 3 and 6, and put them in a patrol car.
Authorities say the outdoor temperature was 16 degrees.
Mall security paged the girls' mother, who met with deputies. Deputies say she'd been in the store more than 90 minutes getting her makeup done.
Online court records do not list an attorney for Coleman. Her daughters were turned over to relatives.

Obama is really starting to campaign right now.
Obama gave a fiery speech this afternoon at the luncheon for the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
And he used the occasion to beat the heck out of the Paul Ryan budget plan that the Republican House passed last week.
The Ryan plan is "so far to the right that it makes the Contract with America look like the New Deal," Obama said, with an edge on his delivery.
Much to the chagrin of Republicans, he quoted Newt Gingrich's comment that the Ryan plan was "right-wing social engineering".
"This is coming from Newt Gingrich!" Obama said, for emphasis.
"It's a Trojan horse. Disguised as deficit reduction plans, it's really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country. It is thinly veiled social Darwinism. It is antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity. ... It is a prescription for decline."
He acknowledged that Republicans want deep budget cuts because of titanic deficits in the future, but responded this way: "That argument might have a shred of credibility, if it were not also for them spending 4.6 trillion dollars on lower tax rates."
And Obama made sure to aim his rhetorical guns at Mitt Romney.
"Romney called Ryan budget 'marvelous,'" Obama said, "a word you don't often hear to describe a budget. It's a word you don't often hear generally."
This really seems like the campaign Obama wants to run, a campaign in which he casts himself as the defender of the middle-class, and the expanded role of government in education, health, and safety. For Obama's campaign, Romney is the defender of wealth and privilege, who will gut all the government programs that middle-class Americans have depended on.
During a question and answer period, Obama even took a shot at the GOP, saying that it has moved so far to the right that Ronald Reagan "couldn't get through the Republican primary" today.
We really got a preview of the 2012 Obama campaign today.
For his part, Paul Ryan, returned fire in a statement, blasting Obama for ducking the issue of deficits:
History will not be kind to a President who, when it came time to confront our generation's defining challenge, chose to duck and run. The President refuses to take responsibility for the economy and refuses to offer a credible plan to address the most predictable economic crisis in our history. Instead, he has chosen tired and cynical political attacks as he focuses on his own re-election.

The leading online nursery and baby equipment supplier in the UK, Kiddicare's success is the result of a plan to broaden its business focus beyond new customer acquisition. Specifically, the retailer looked to place more emphasis on driving repeat business, better customer retention and higher order values.
By adding IBM analytics software to its existing IBM e-commerce infrastructure, Kiddicare has been able to mine the large volume of data it collects, analyze customer behavior (e.g. How are customers shopping? Are they using computers, mobile devices or shopping at its physical location showroom) and personalize communications. With this business intelligence, Kiddicare has quickly identified new sources of revenue, created appropriate customer incentive initiatives and deployed more effective marketing and communications strategies; with each having a direct and immediate impact on online sales.
"We looked at the data in the business and the capital opportunities were very apparent," said Simon Harrow, technology officer at Kiddicare. "Up to that point, only seven to eight percent of our business came from repeat customers, despite the fact that our analytics and satisfaction tracking said that 98 percent of our customers would recommend us. It felt counterintuitive to have a raving fan base, but no communications strategy post purchase."
After just four months, the basket value analysis showed an increase of almost 50 percent in the number of items per order. Initiatives such as the introduction of new product ranges, including the 'Most Popular Everyday Baby Essentials,' featuring leading items from a portfolio of 650 products, has also led to an increase in repeat business versus one-off purchases. In addition to sales, these new insights have also helped Kiddicare understand the value of new initiatives as they modernize the site, introducing more video and extending the integration with social networking tools to drive conversion and value in sales.
Harrow added, "The value of the data derived from IBM goes beyond our enterprise content management system; it feeds into everything we do from kiosks, to web and email. This will continue as we venture into Android and iPad applications, newer kiosk development and a web site re-design."
"Kiddicare's success demonstrates the rewards of taking a customer-centric approach to communications and marketing," said Andrew Jackson-Proes, IBM Enterprise Marketing Management Leader for UK & Ireland. "The company operates in a sector that provides multiple opportunities to assist each customer through the different stages of raising a family. By using data already available within its system to understand customer behavior and anticipate needs, Kiddicare has ensured a long-term and profitable relationship with its customers."

With no good excuse as to why it took me so long to get out there, I finally played my first round of the year at Great Oaks Country Club on Saturday. And I wouldn't have played this weekend had Skip Bishop not called me Friday night and invited me to join him.
Skip is the high school golf coach (current state champs) and the mayor of our small town. Even though I had a list of chores after spending four days this past week in Savannah at the Legends of Golf, my wonderful wife said go play. So I did.
I had no expectations. I just hoped to make some good swings and stay down on the ball. Keep it simple and see what happens.
What happened surprised me, at least on the front nine. I had 12 putts, including a chip-in for birdie and another near chip-in. (I don't usually count putts or any of that stuff, but my short game was so surprising that I had to add them up.) I was out in 38.
Realistically, I knew it might not last. I didn't drive the ball well at all. I didn't know if I was going to hit it left or right. I was just trying to put it in play. (I was hurrying my swing.) I hit my irons fairly well for the first time out.
The back nine, which is easier from a scoring standpoint, turned out to be mediocre. I hit a super three metal over water to reach the par-5 13th in two. It was my best shot of the day. Then I three-putted for par. I wasted several more shots on the closing holes, which included a bogey-double finish. I shot 42 on the inward nine for an 80. I'll take it.
Not that it mattered. It just felt good to be out on the course, walking around, swinging the club. I enjoyed the company, too. It was the perfect way to end a shockingly sad week here in Hokie land.

First Round of the Year
2 comments:
There's nothing like the first round of the year. I'm fighting my way back from a long, nagging injury myself and just being out there feels special.
If I haven't played for a while, I normally play extremely well for about 6 holes and then my faults start to make their way back into my game. By the time I finish, I'll be playing like someone who never played the game before.

Synopsis by Michael Hastings
A hard-nosed star reporter learns who her real friends are -- and gets in way over her head -- investigating a murder in this twisty thriller. Perfect Stranger stars Halle Berry as Rowena, a prominent New York journalist who writes using a pseudonym to entrap some of the tri-state area's most corrupt individuals, using a network of informants, acquaintances, and digital gadgets. When her latest exposé is buried at the behest of her paper's corporate backers, she walks off the job and into a personal quagmire. Her childhood friend Grace (Nicki Aycox) is murdered when she threatens to reveal she's been sleeping with married advertising mogul Harrison Hill (Bruce Wills). With the help of her loyal techie friend Miles (Giovanni Ribisi), she goes undercover -- and online -- to find the smoking gun that will indict Hill. But Rowena soon finds herself caught in a web of manipulation, deceit, and false truths.

The easiest way to upgrade your AEG is not to open up the gearbox in the first place, but to replace it with a completely tuned model with the best parts already installed. This route also has the benefit of being able to reverse easily, and you will have a stock gearbox handy for a retrofit, in case you need an even lower velocity for CQB. But how do you choose which one is the right for you in terms of output energy, and what else should you consider when choosing a ready-made gearbox?
General principles
No matter what series your AEG is and regardless of the desired power level, the barrel length and cylinder type should be matched for optimum performance. That is why, for example, the MC-51 and other G3s have their specific gearboxes. If you are planning to extend the inner barrel of your MC-51, then you should choose a gearbox made for the G3. Then again if you're chopping a full length G3 down to a carbine, an MC-51 gearbox is the better choice. Remember that the cylinder tube can be changed easily to suit your needs, if you have an unconventional barrel length in mind!
There are gearboxes with various power levels, but the first thing is to choose a geabox that fits your AEG in the first place. The various models that use Version 2 gearboxes have different nozzles and selector plates, and other things to mind is the wiring (front/rear) and whether or not you need the rectangular opening in the rear of the gearbox.
MP5 and G3 series
The MP5 series are possibly the easiest models when it comes to choosing the gearbox: Excluding the MP5K and PDW, they all use the same gearbox configuration. Whether the stock is solid or telescopic, the gearbox is always wired to the rear, and uses an extension cord that leads to the front or rear of the AEG. It runs in the receiver instead of inside the gearbox, so thorough disassembly or soldering is not required to change the configuration. All MP5 series have the same barrel length, and even if you use a 300 mm inner barrel in your SD (as opposed to the standard 229 mm), the same cylinder is still suitable.
The G3 series bear a resemblance to the MP5 series, with the exception that there are short and long models, so you need to keep the barrel length in mind and look for the right cylinder for your gun. The G3 series are also simpler and faster to disassemble, so installation is especially easy with these!
M16 / M4 series
The M16 series can be divided very roughly in two: Old type and new type. The old ones are only made by Tokyo Marui, and the main differences to new models are the nozzle and gearbox holes. The new types starting from M16A2 introduced the ability to tilt the receivers open realistically after removing the takedown pin. This requires two rectangular holes to be cut to the sides of the gearbox to allow the upper receiver tabs to slip up.
All M16 type models and receivers from other manufacturers like G&P, CA, HurricanE and G&G have a new A2 type nozzle. For example the CA XM177 uses an M4 gearbox, even though there is an XM/CAR gearbox in the selection, and the M15A1 uses an A2 type gearbox, not an M16A1 one. These AEGs don't need the rectangular hole in the gearbox for takedown, so a switch of the nozzle allows you to adapt old A1/XM/CAR type gearboxes to be used.
A second difference is made by the wiring: Models with a solid stock have the wiring led to the rear, telescopic stocks that can't hold a battery require the gearbox wiring to be changed to the front. Instead of running an extension cord from the rear of the gearbox to the front, these gearboxes are configured to have the wiring exit from the front, right above the trigger. Remember that with a high power upgrade, a small battery inside the handguard is insufficient to cycle the mechanism properly.
The more powerful (M150 and up) gearboxes have a FET unit in line with the battery leads, so it is not suitable for a front-battery installation. A FET acts as an electronic relay, and eliminates arcing of the trigger contacts as well as reduces recistance in the power leads.
1 J High Speed
Output energy: 1 Joules (328 fps / 100 m/s with 0.2 gram BBs)
Many CQB arenas have strict velocity limits, which is understandable and mandatory for increased safety. The tempo of the game is high speed, and that is how your gun should shoot as well: Not that hard, but lots of BBs per second. 1 Joule high speed upgrades are the most popular choice in Japan, where the output energy is strictly regulated to 0.98 Joules. It is not uncommon to see AEGs shoot over 20 and up to 40 BBs per second!
The intake and exhaust parts of these gearboxes are optimized for high speed shooting at 1 Joules, varying slightly depending on the exact barrel length. 1J gearboxes are especially suitable for SMGs like the MP5, or similar sized assault rifles like the M16-derivant M733, and MC-51 from the G3 series.
We recommend 8.4 volt or 9.6 volt batteries with the 1 J gearboxes for optimum performance. A higher voltage could potentially turn the gears fast enough to catch the piston on its way forward, especially if combined with a Turbo motor!
A close relative to the 1J High Speed gearboxes is the Turbo gearbox and motor set. They use an M100 spring instead of the 1J spring, and a slightly undersized cylinder to increase piston speed while keeping the velocity at 300 fps with a 0.2 gram BB. This configuration allows to achieve the highest ROF of the Systema CMB series.
M120 Torque Up
Output energy: 1.49 Joules (400 fps / 120 m/s with 0.2 g BBs)
The standard general gaming velocity limit at most sites worldwide is 400 fps. This upgrade offers extra range that is useful in more open woodland areas, while staying quite safe: From a distance of 6 meters (20 feet), the energy of the BB has dropped to 1 joules.
The stiffness of an M120 spring is 100% on top of a standard Tokyo Marui spring, while the velocity is increased 50% over the original. The laws of physics state that when velocity is doubled, energy is quadrupled. From this point of view you realize easily how much more stress the mechanism and motor are handling, so the adjustment of gear ratio comes into question. This allows the gearbox to be cycled easily even with a small type battery, yet you have the option of compensating the ROF with a higher voltage battery.
We recommend to choose a 9.6 volt battery if the size is small, but with Large cells even 8.4 volts will suffice easily. Large batteries of 9.6 volts are the most popular option.
M150 Super Torque Up
Output energy: 2.25 Joules (492 fps / 150 m/s with 0.2 gram BBs)
The M150 is definitely in the major league of upgrades, at the narrow top of the performance pyramid. Yet a common sight in the hardcore fields of Asia and Hawaii, it is not seen as often in western countries due to strict velocity limits. More often than not, users of an AEG shooting this hard are required to use semi-automatic mode only, and sometimes to mechanically restrict full auto from being selected at all! Great care should be taken when using high powered upgrades like this, but in turn they offer fantastic performance and range.
The M150 gearboxes are equipped with Bore-Up cylinder parts. Contrary to popular belief, it is not about air volume to handle long barrels, but rather about the compression speed: As the area of the piston head is increased, it pushes more air for the same piston travel compared to a regular (N-B) cylinder set. This requires a strong spring to keep the piston speed stable, and will work optimally with barrel lengths of 350 mm and longer. Do note that the exhaust nozzle of the cylinder head is enlarged as well, so regular nozzles will not work.
According to our experience, an M150 upgrade built this well does actually cycle even with a 8.4 volt battery, but there is one important point you should not overlook: When the battery power depletes as the AEG is used, it will soon drop low enough that the current demand from the motor is increased over specifications. To keep unwanted loads off the electrical parts, it is advisable to use a higher voltage battery. It allows the motor to turn the mechanism with ease, and this way eliminates current spikes. We recommend 9.6 - 12 volt Large type batteries for these gearboxes.
M170 Magnum
Output energy: 2.88 Joules (557 fps / 170 m/s with 0.2 gram BBs)
If the M150 was already at the narrow top of state of the art upgrades, then the M170 is the sharpest spearhead around. What makes the Magnum gearbox especially interesting from the point of view of an experienced AEG-tuner, are the gears. Previously this kind of springs could only be driven with Infinite Torque Up gears, which provided the necessary torque to compress the spring, but also lowered the rate of fire a lot. With the introduction of the Magnum motor, it became possible to drive the M170 spring with Super Torque Up -gears. Combined with a 12 volt battery, this provides a rate of fire never seen before in an AEG of this power level!

This Avianca collection on exhibit now at the Museum of Modern Art may be more notable for the works' origins than the art itself. Many of artists gave their works to the airline in exchange for flights back when they were unknowns. Since then, many of those people have become well-known artists, and Avianca has created a notable collection of works by Colombian and foreign artists.
In conjunction with this exhibit, Avianca has donated 154 pieces from its 356 piece collection to the MOMA.

Its bones have sat on a shelf in a Canadian museum since 1958, but paleontologists have finally taken it upon themselves to reconstruct this long-lost cousin of the triceratops. Named Xenoceratops foremostensis, meaning "alien-horned" face," the massive herbivore is Canada's oldest horned and large-bodied dinosaur, one that roamed Alberta over 80-million years ago.
The work of paleontologists Michael Ryan and David Evans reveals a dinosaur with an impressive array of features. Based on the fossilized remains of three adult individuals, they estimate that the typical Xenoceratops weighed an astonishing 4,400 pounds (2 tons or 2,000 kg) and measured 20 feet (6 meters) in length.
It also featured a beak-like mouth and a massive neck shield topped by two large spikes. The outer edges of its frill were embedded with another dozen smaller spikes, while four longer spikes protruded from its head and checkbones.
Ryan and Evans were particularly excited about the discovery in that it showed just how long ago these big-horned dinosaurs, called ceratopsids, existed in Canada — what later resulted in dinosaurs with different horned orientations. The paelontologists speculate that the horns were used by the males to attract female counterparts.
Details of their work can be found in Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences.

Since my office is nearby Ara Damansara, I tend to frequent this place quite often for lunch. One of my favourite meal is this 'pan mee' or flat flour noodle at Restoran Ming Yang located at the back of NZX (Niuzexui) Commercial Centre. What makes this noodle so nice is the 'springy' texture of its thin noodle.
I prefer the dry version of pan mee rather than the soup. So what is important is the black seasoning sauce they use to mix the noodle with. I am glad to say that the taste is just right without being overly salty nor bland.
The anchovies and fried brown garlic gives this dish the extra 'zing'.
At RM 4.50 per plate, I would say that the portion is quite big since I usually order extra noodle. What's more, the soup contains a lot of vegetables and fish meat.
Definitely a place to go for pan mee lovers!

Places to talk about MQTTJuly 4th, 2012 - andyp
There are a number of mailing lists and discussion groups and spaces for MQTT now, so I thought it might be useful to quickly summarise the main ones – and clarify what they are for.
- MQTT on Google Groups – this is mostly where discussion of the protocol itself happen, along with the broader ecosystem of implementations and use cases. Much of what is discussed in the Google Group is used to clarify the specification and improve the wiki.
- mosquitto-users on Launchpad (formerly mqtt-users) – owned by the mosquitto project, so this is primarily for discussion of issues and questions around the mosquitto broker.
- paho-dev Eclipse list – for implementation specifics on Eclipse Paho code (the new home of the "reference" C and Java clients) and future requirements.
- m2m-iwg Eclipse list – Machine-to-Machine Industry Working Group topics ie those spanning Eclipse Paho and Eclipse Koneki. The goal is to avoid too many project-specific discussions here but to look at the broader initiatives of the IWG.
Users of all of the lists are generally very friendly and can help you to navigate between them, but I just thought it would be useful to explain the "main purpose" of each group. Discussions are not limited to mailing lists and happen on Twitter, in IRC, and across the web. We try to follow as many of them as possible! There's an additional list on the Community page.
For more about MQTT and the relationship to Eclipse, check our wiki page MQTT at Eclipse. For more on mosquitto, check out that project's excellent website!

Common Ground
It's never easy to write about one's profession. It's hard to avoid sounding self-serving. There's a risk of too much "inside baseball" talk. But I'm going to count on enough shared interest and belief in the vital importance of journalism in our democratic society to think that perhaps you'll join me in an effort to make it, and the media that deliver it, better.
This is not completely new ground. A few years ago, editor Brennan Nardi put a lot of time and effort into a multimedia project called All Together Now, which explored both the issue of access to health care and the question of whether media outlets could work together to make a difference and in the process make themselves relevant again. It was a good effort. But not much has really changed. And the need grows.
Make no mistake: Everything I'm writing about here is a direct response to the dramatic and likely irreversible decline in the quantity and quality of news coverage in the country, including right here in Madison. I understand consumer demand, economics and technology. But it's not good and I don't like it. A lot of smart people (like Brennan) are doing a lot of interesting things to try to right the ship. But, especially on the local level, some very important issues and underserved groups are simply not getting the coverage they, and we, deserve.
There may yet be ways for traditional media outlets to improve their performance in this area. "Hyper-local" coverage of news on the neighborhood level is all the rage these days. Newspapers and television stations and websites are all experimenting with ways to cover local issues. But virtually every discussion of the mission of traditional media ends up with a dispiriting claim of new revenue models that are either insufficient or yet to be discovered, and in the meantime news goes unreported and citizens go unserved.
The beacon in all this fog is community journalism, and one of the best examples in the country is the Madison Commons project located right here in, yes, Madison. Let's start with what the Madison Commons is not. It is not a "citizen" journalism site consisting of self-appointed citizen reporters blogging about issues they feel passionately about. The Commons is a partnership between the UW School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the community that uses the high standards and professional development and education prowess of the UW to train and support—and edit—citizen journalists.
For now the emphasis is on three issue areas, food, education and transportation. But think about those three issues for a minute, how important they are in your life and in your neighborhood, and you'll get an inkling of the potential of the Commons.
This is all the brainchild of Lew Friedland, one of the most respected thinkers on media and democracy in the country. Friedland is a professor of both journalism and sociology. He started the Commons more than six years ago and it is his decision to institutionalize the project in the J-school that gives it its foundation. He's got some talented colleagues working with him and some skilled students.
But the second pillar of support, and the one that will really make the Commons an invaluable community asset if it can be accomplished, is community partnership. Madison has to own the Commons. Community Shares is a partner. So is WISC-TV and the Morgridge Center for Public Service. There's a community advisory board coming together. I'm heading up that effort. But there's room for more.
The Madison Commons needs financial support, as well as public awareness. And what it really needs is for you to use it. Visit madisoncommons.org. Contact Lew or his team about ways you can participate and help. Talk it up. This is the antidote to the decline of local media. This is where Madison meets, at the Madison Commons.
