electric versus I C
Hi plane builders,
is there any info available regarding electrifying a VQ models P40, I've got the kit, but am now rightly or wrongly looking more to go leccy than smelly to keep her indoors happier,
prematurly thanks for any sensible help.(only regarding aircraft )PLEASE
Here is some things to look at. You will need a voltage regular or
a separate rec battery with this set up. Do you have radios and
First off, achieving the power you need is just not an issue, nor is it expensive. maximum prop size will have a big influence, but if you can get a 16" prop on, a 400g Kv =370-420 motor on 6S should outpower (but not outlast) a .90 2 stroke or even the NGH 17cc gasser I considered. Even if you're limited to 14 or 15" you can still do very well - just need Kv up around 500 on 6S, or around 350 on 8S.
To me, the big questions are where are you going to put batteries, and how hard is it going to be to get them in and out. Battery location is important to not ending up too heavy, because if you can't get them well forward to offset the light weight of the motor compared to the glow engine, you'll often end up needing ballast in the nose.
Taking wings off or undoing cowls or similar shenanigans to change batteries is going to get pretty old pretty quickly and negate the ability of a quick battery swap to offset the shorter flight time you might get with electric. You could do a permanent A123 install and charge in the model, but at a significant cost and power/weight penalty.
It looks to me that the VQ P-40 has the firewall a long way aft, with the motor sitting out on a motor box, and it's not apparent that there's any good place to build in a hatch. Unfortunately that other thread just stopped before the battery installation was described.
As a contrast, take a look at the Phoenix Top Models, particularly the P-47 and Corsair, where the firewalls are way forward, and the whole top of the fuselage back to the canopy comes off. I'm building a Corsair atm, but until I see how it's going to balance, I'm not going to come out and recommend it.
Hi Scirocco
I agree about the Pheonix Top Models. I have just bought a P51 Mustang and it is set up for electric conversion with the boxing on the firewall making it fairly easy to fit an electric motor and place the battery through the removable cockpit.
As far as going IC or electric IMHO it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other. I am all electric at present with planks and helis running from 3S to 12S batteries.They are clean and there is no problem getting the motors going but I can spend hours charging batteries. I see the advantage of IC in just having a quick clean down and putting it away until next week. I also see the advantage of longer flight times with IC especially petrol motors.
If I was 20 years younger and just considering IC or electric I would go IC. There is nothing like the sound of a 3D nitro plane flat out or a scale plank with a 4 stroke motor buzzing the runway.
One thing from left field though, check your local club. From what I hear more and more clubs are under pressure to reduce noise which means no IC.
PS. I have just trashed (read jumped on) a new VQ AT6. It was rubbish. The fuselage was twisted and the wings would not sit level. There was no blocking in the tail for the lower rudder hinge and the hinges generally were fitted very untidily. One aileron fixing plate in the wing collapsed when I was screwing the aileron onto it. The Phoenix is much better quality.

VQ p40
Hi chaps
a very interesting supply of input regarding my request on ic/electric,for a VQ kit the general quality of build by the manufacture I've no major groans over other than some of the covering on the fusalage looks it it was applied by a first year apprentice,as scirocco points out the distance from firewall to the point of the nosecone is quiet some distance,so the SC70 at the moment looks like it could still be showing the most promise, Watdazit,tis a shame to here about your A T 6
one member of our family has one and as yet he rates it o k, kimber your advice regarding available leccy power items is very informative, and RCs etc I'm with both HI tec 2-4 and Futaba,35mg converted to 2-4 with frsky's conversion kit via UKs G/C supplies,
thanks for your input
Sam Dare, pilot of the future

Sher-Wood Rekker EK15 Grip Hockey Stick - Senior
Sher-Wood Rekker EK15 Grip Hockey Stick - Senior
Bobby Ryan of the Ottawa Senators said, "Every bucket of pucks I empty and every mile I run become a part of me, a part of who I am, and a part of my passion for the game."
The Sher-Wood EK15 is meticulously hand-crafted in that mindset. Years of development have resulted in the lightest and most responsive stick on the market.
EKORE Technology:The REKKER EK15 features the new EKORE technology which is a handmade manufacturing process requiring precision and attention to detail second to none.
- Constructed with an ultra resistant carbon fiber which is 30% lighter than the competition.
- More durable than what can be built by machine, eliminating any surplus materials and defects which can result in pre-mature breakage.
- Production time is eight times longer than the mechanized method.

Pros:Super light, great feel, great price.
Does Sherwood make have a pattern that is similar to the Bauer P14?
By Will from Toronto, Canada on November 2, 2014
By Customer Service on November 4, 2014
Answer:Unfortunately they do not make a P14 equivalent. The closest thing would be the PP26 Stastny, but it's more like a Bauer P92.
Are you guys gonna have 75 flex Statsny in stock any time soon?
By Lou from East Haven, CT on April 19, 2014
By Customer Service on April 21, 2014
Answer:PP26 is the Stastny curve. From what I can see, we have it in 75 Flex Left and Right on the site.
Does Sherwood make an intermediate version of this stick?
By Will from Minneapolis, Minnesota on March 27, 2014
By Customer Service on March 31, 2014
Answer:Yes, they do produce it. We can order it for you from Sher-Wood if you'd like. If you are interested in placing an order, call 800-633-5999.
What Sherwood curve would be most similar to Bauers backstrom curve?
By Will from Minneapolis, Minnesota on March 27, 2014
By Customer Service on March 31, 2014
Answer:The PP26 Stastny is the closest to the P92 Backstrom.
What curve compares to the Trouba curve?
By Mike from Edina, MN on September 11, 2014
By Customer Service on September 16, 2014
Answer:It's comparable to the Bauer P92 Backstrom/Ovechkin, Easton E3/P3 Hall/Sakic, Reebok P87A Crosby, etc.

Career Services Fosters Professional Development
By Vanessa Lozano, junior, School of Journalism and Mass Communication
Career Services at the University of Colorado at Boulder encourages students to become actively involved in their own professional development.
"We provide a centralized place for students to explore their professional goals," said Lisa Severy, director of Career Services. "We offer services that range from big picture career counseling to more concrete skills like resume writing and interviewing practice."
In addition, staff members organize an abundance of seminars and activities related to career development for students. For example, "Dining for Success" is an etiquette dinner held each semester that allows students to learn about socializing, networking and dining etiquette. Six career fairs are hosted by Career Services each academic year, offering on-campus recruitment from a variety of employers and opportunities for internships and volunteering.
According to Severy, internships are at the heart of Career Services because they help students develop professional skills and test their tentative career choices.
Career Services recently hired Erin Doherty-Ratay as internship program coordinator. Doherty-Ratay was formerly a college recruiter for the investment bank Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. She has also been the career development consultant for many organizations such as the United Nations, New York University and the University of Denver.
"We are very excited to have Erin join our team," Severy said. "Having worked in the career services field, she has been able to hit the ground running. Also, as someone who has traveled extensively and learned about cultures around the world, she is a walking advertisement for the power of experiential learning."
Doherty-Ratay and her husband recently earned the Guinness World Record for the longest motorcycle ride by a team on two bikes. From May 1999 to August 2003 they traveled through 50 countries in 6 continents and covered 101,322 miles. They had not set out to earn the record, but simply wanted to see the world.

Frequently Asked Questions (Server Clusters: Quorum Options - Windows Server 2003)
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
What is a Majority Node Set cluster?
It is a cluster that has a quorum based on local disks in each node, rather than a shared disk.
How is the quorum information located on the system disk of each node kept in synch?
The server cluster infrastructure ensures that all changes are replicated and updated on all members in a cluster.
Can this method be used to replicate application data as well?
No, that is not possible in this version of clustering. Only Quorum information is replicated and maintained in a synchronized state by the clustering infrastructure.
Can I convert a standard cluster to an MNS cluster?
Yes. You can use Cluster Administrator to create a new Majority Node Set resource and then, on the cluster properties sheet Quorum tab, change the quorum to that Majority Node Set resource.
What is the difference between a geographically dispersed cluster and an MNS cluster?
A geographic cluster refers to a cluster that has nodes in multiple locations, while an MNS-based cluster refers to the type of quorum resources in use. A geographic cluster can use either a shared disk or MNS quorum resource, while an MNS-based cluster can be located in a single site, or span multiple sites.
What is the maximum number of nodes in an MNS cluster?
Windows Server 2003 supports 8-node clusters for both Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition.
Do I need special hardware to use an MNS cluster?
There is nothing inherent in the MNS architecture that requires any special hardware, other than what is required for a standard cluster (for example, there must be on the Microsoft Cluster HCL). However, some situations that use an MNS cluster may have unique requirements (such as geographic clusters), where data must be replicated in real time between sites.
Does a cluster aware application need to be rewritten to support MNS?
No, using an MNS quorum requires no change to the application. However, some cluster aware applications expect a shared disk (for example SQL Server 2000), so while you do not need shared disks for the quorum, you do need shared disks for the application.
Does MNS get rid of the need for shared disks?
It depends on the application. For example, clustered SQL Server 2000 requires shared disk for data. Remember, MNS only removes the need for a shared disk quorum.
If I have a 2-node MNS cluster, and lose one server, will the cluster continue to function?
No, in order to keep an MNS cluster running, it must have a majority of nodes online, i.e. (<Number of nodes configured in the cluster>/2) + 1. The following table shows the various combinations of configured nodes and node failures:
|Number of nodes configured in the cluster
|Number of node failures
How do I back up and restore an MNS cluster?
There is a separate white paper on backing up and restoring clustered configurations. It will be published at the same location as this paper.
Is there a way I can allow for a "minority set" to take control of the cluster?
Yes, there is a way for a "minority" set to be allowed to start up and initialize the cluster. But this is a manual process and has to be done in a specified manner. Details on the same are available in "help".
What happens if majority count is lost?
The cluster service will gracefully shutdown the cluster and all resources. Clients will lose connectivity and access to any of the clustered services. This is done to prevent the "split-brain" scenario.
Are there any limitations with regard to network latency and topography in an MNS cluster?
Requirements are the same as that for vanilla clusters. With regard to topography, we envisage the MNS feature to be predominantly used in geographically dispersed clustering scenarios. This normally means specific semantic requirements in terms of storage usable and management. OEMs provide prescriptive guidance on the same and customers should carefully read the same.
For the latest information about Windows Server 2003, see the Windows Server 2003 Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/31/14
Jeff Gordon is proud he has reached 700 straight Sprint Cup starts. He's even prouder has accomplished the feat while still near the top of the sport. The 41-year-old Gordon is third in series history with 87 wins, Gordon's landmark start comes at Darlington Raceway in the Southern 500, a place where he's won seven times. Gordon trails only Ricky Rudd's 789 straight starts for most in Sprint Cup. Gordon remains a series' force. He's made the Sprint Cup championship chase eight of the nine years it has been run. His last victory came at Homestead, Fla., in the final race of 2012. He's 13th in points this year and starts eighth at Darlington. Gordon says he's gotten this far by concentrating on victory every time the green flag drops.

I purchased the Smartwool Reversible Beanie last season and it has treated me very well - I like that beanie a lot. Based on that experience I purchased the Smartwool Training Beanie and I am not so pleased. I don't think I have an abnormally large head but this training beanie fits very tight. It borders uncomfortable because it does not stretch much due to the stitching design. This beanie also does not completely cover the ears, which I think is essential for cold weather running. The one thing I do like about it is that it is very lightweight. Unfortunately it may be too uncomfortable for long term wear though. If you are looking at this beanie, get the reversible beanie instead, unless you have a small head.

Perfect for running in temperatures between 40 and 55 degrees (I haven't tested it at lower temps yet). It doesn't slide around or lose its shape, important for me since I am wearing a head lamp with it.

This hat is fantastic. It is very thin and light yet it keeps you very warm. I use it for running (1+ hours) on cold days and it keeps my head very warm. I recommend it and will buy more of them. It does run a little small but is stretchy enough to make up for that.

I found several different approaches, and the one that caught my eye was Google's GCM, but it seems it's not available for 2.3.3, and I would need to upgrade to API level 20. This means loosing a huge amount of users just because Google doesn't want to support historic versions of Android.
Can anyone tell me what the best approach is for implementing push notifications in 2.3.3 or above?

Hey, I've been working on a script dealing with RSS/RDF feeds, and I've created a pretty easy interface for it. You can check it out here - http://s92205215.onlinehome.us/projects/deviantRSS/make.php
basically what it does is parse a RSS/RDF feed and creates an image according to it. Since it can be added to any page, it's pretty nice for people with limited scripting capabilities, and it's incredibly easy to use. I see it as an option to plain text links to other sites...
Any opinions? I'm not a big blogger, so I need some insight from people who know about this stuff.

Mike Stachura, equipment editor for Golf Digest, recently tweeted this when he first learned about the advancements in the Idea Tech V4: @MikeStachura "At Adams Golf Tuesday, we talked about this: a technology rich 7-iron hybrid could produce a CT number equal to a driver. #innovationlives"
Designers are able to optimize Velocity Slots Technology in the Idea Tech V4 hybrids by isolating each slot shaping parameter, including the thru-slots resulting in the maximized CT. With the introduction of the original Velocity Slot Technology in the Idea a12 OS hybrids, engineers saw an increase in CT of 20% vs. the Idea Tech V3 hybrids. With the use of Thru Slots in the new Idea Tech V4 hybrids, engineers have achieved an increase in CT of 67% to levelsonly seen before in today's titanium drivers, but done in a stainless steel hybrid. In addition to the hotness of the face, the Idea Tech V4 uses a multi-material construction featuring tungsten heel/toe perimeter weighting in the long irons provides optimal CG location for increased forgiveness & higher launch.

WEBSTER, Texas (AP) - Police shot and wounded a man who had been
threatening caregivers with what was thought to be a gun, but turned out to be a flashlight.
Webster Police Chief Ray Smiley says the man's father brought the man to Clear Lake Medical Center late Sunday with injuries from a hit-and-run accident. He says the hospital staff went to get the injured man, but the man crawled from the car and threatened to kill them.
When he pointed the object at them, police were called and an hourlong standoff ensued. Police moved in, the man pointed the object at officers and he was shot.
Smiley says the man was in stable condition at Ben Taub General Hospital in Houston. His identity hasn't been revealed.

Good location, perfect for when it's sunny. They managed to persuade us with tasters outside. Food was delicious, had a series of different dishes (greek sausage, octopus etc). The staff were really friendly and food was well priced.more
This is a chain of restaurants, I have eaten here many times. The location is great being along the river thames and near the globe theatre. The service is usually a bit slow, and they always recommend 3/4 mezes per person to share.
The food is ok, nothing special, does lack flavour and seasoning. The dukkah chicken wings is described as coated in homemade dukkah - a spicy mix of ground, dry...more
This was my first meal in London! I wasn't expecting to eat Mediterranean food while I was in London, but I am glad I gave this place a try. This restaurant is at a nice location. It is near the Globe Theatre, near the river. We were lured into the restaurant by the samples that the chef was cooking in the patio. My friends tried the grilled pork that they were offering and thought it was...more
It's a chain, but it's a nice chain experience only let down somewhat by the food.
The menu is fairly broad leaning heavily towards the mezze side of Greek food. There are no real surprises. Some of the items such as the tiropitakia and salt cod are rich and delicious but more are disappointing; the hummus can't be saved even by some really good if worryingly greasy flatbreads, and their...more
Good Greek food right by the Globe Theatre. We said we were in a rush as we were going to the Globe so the staff were really great at rushing things through.
The menu is good. Lots of tapas options and quite reasonably priced too. It's a great way of having a taste of lots of different things and the food genuinely is really tasty. It has a great vibe and a really nice view out onto the...more

Author learns 'home' is a state of mind
In "Harlem Is Nowhere," her incisive and moving study of what she calls "the Mecca of Black America," Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts describes African-Americans' longing for a never-known homeland as "the melancholy that compels us all: a yearning for the past from which our ancestors were irrevocably torn."
That same yearning consumes Emily Raboteau, whose African-American grandfather was shot dead in 1943 Mississippi "for defending a black woman to a white man." »Read Full Article

I recently switched to the mobile games industry working for a company where I do Android porting of their iOS titles and I still maintain and support .NET software (keeps me from getting too rusty.) I also have my own company, Offbit Studios, where I put out little mobile games for iOS and Android. Just a side thing but fun.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
First of all – let's get the good news out front. They got the guy.
Also, it's not in the St. Louis news article, but I believe the police got their first good lead on scumbag — all right, alleged scumbag — Gerry Armbruster from a comics fan who recognized the description and M.O. and bird-dogged the guy's Facebook page early last week.
The fan that tipped the cops used the whole name on Facebook then, but I didn't want to use that name when I wrote last week's article; seeing the global mob already forming, I didn't want every angry Superman fan with an internet connection to land on maybe the wrong guy. But I did correct it from "Gary" to "Gerry," and I can tell you now that it is in fact that same Gerry Armbruster who the police took into custody.
Mike's collection was completely recovered. He now has, thanks to an unprecedented wave of comics internet niceness, almost double what he lost, with more packages coming every day. (The family requests that you please not send any more stuff, if you haven't already done so.) Already the amount of comics and books and toys that have been arriving just over the last few days has been overwhelming. Mike says the replacement collection will probably go to a local children's hospital… his way of paying that generosity forward.
So for this week's column, I give you the final version of the Superman gallery that I have been getting submitted to me. These are scans of the cards and art that comics fans all over the world have been sending to Mike Meyer. I decided it was big enough to rate its own post. Here you go. This is the last update.
Also, I put in links to each artist's own site in the names, when I could find gallery or webcomic sites for them. Do check them out. Lots of good stuff there.
And again, you all are amazing. In fact, one might even say– yeah, I'm going there– SUPER.
Steven Vasquez sent these two:
Two more, from Celina Hernandez:
Claude Parish:
Edo Bosnar sent this from Croatia:
Jakob Burgos:
Mike Casteel is sending these two custom pillows with Superman art by himself and his girlfriend:
And to go with those pillows, here's a quilted sofa throw Tarabu Arts made especially for Mike.
Tyra White drew Mike himself as Superman:
Gwen Patton did a special "Jenny Everywhere" webcomic for Mike:
There's a whole gallery of drawings from the folks at Dreamworks.
And my favorite so far can be found here, from Desmond Reddick and his son Cade.
Check them out, click on the link. It will make you smile. In fact, click on ALL those artist links, because there's some great stuff at each of them.
And finally, here is some video of Mike reading your mail.
Can't top that, so…. I'll see you next week.
Wow. That Bogdonove was even better than his stuff on the title. Way to go Jon. That will mean a lot to Mike.
Let's not fail to mention that this (alleged…) scumbag was caught in part because he robbed and injured a 76 year old man. Real piece of work, there.
So nice that he got his stuff back, and will pay it forward. Especially if he gives it to a children's hospital. I had surgery when I was a kid, and the "kids room" at the hospital had a stack of comics in it, and it certainly helped me feel better.
That is a sweet Bog piece. I kinda dig his "scratchier" stuff that he did on MOS, but this is cool. Let's not forget that he named his kid Kal-El.
This, THIS is why Grant Morrison gets as giddy as a schoolgirl when talking about the idea of Superman. People willing to donate Superman stuff to a guy they've never even met.
It's just something in my eye, darnit! That's all!
Christine Smith draws the heck out of Streaky! Awesome work.
And so, once again, evil sows the seeds of its own defeat, justice is done, and the net amount of good in the world is markedly increased. Just like in the best Superman comics.
Just posted the piece I did for Mike on my website.
I hope he likes it! Glad he got his stuff back!
I want a Christine Smith "Legion of Super-Pets" series! Are you listening, DC? I would actually buy one of your titles!
Hey Greg! I see you put in my two images!
I was so happy to do the Superman Vs. Brainiac and Superman and the Justice League images to send off to Mike. His story has really brought out what the comic fan community can really do when trouble arises and one of our own is in need of a boost. The capture of the perp was the perfect capper to this story yesterday. Even better still, that Mike intends to give some of the items he's gotten to charity.
nice that Mike wound up with a happy ending with his stuff back plus mike also got his faith restored in people by every one rallying to replace his stuff including all that impressive art work in those galleries. and glad the scum bag that decided to help himself to mikes collection got caught.
I'm so glad to hear that Mike got all his stuff back. The fact that so many gave to replace his collection, and that he's passing it on to a children's hospital, restores my battered faith in humanity.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

Swiss Voters Reject Attempt To Limit Executive Pay
The initiative would have meant that an executive could never earn more money in a month than what the lowest-paid employee earns in a year. Sixty-five percent of voters came out against the measure.
NPR's business news starts with no salary cap for Swiss executives.
GREENE: A proposal in Switzerland to limit executive pay has been rejected by voters there. As we reported on the program last week, the initiative would have meant that an executive could never earn more money in a month than what the lowest-paid employee earns in a year.
That initiative failed; 65 percent of voters rejected it. But analysts point out that in a corporate-friendly nation like Switzerland, the fact that the vote was held at all is significant.

What should policymakers ask us? Members share their ideas in new videoSubmitted by mgarcia on Tue, 10/06/2015 - 13:36
In the latest online video in MEA's statewide ad campaign, "Ask Me," you'll hear members in their own words say what they want policymakers to know about education in Michigan. Watch the video here.
You can hear their frustration as those policymakers continue to make decisions that impact students and educators without having set foot in a classroom lately.
Tuition increases at some Michigan schools will impact student debtSubmitted by mgarcia on Thu, 10/01/2015 - 15:08
Rockford seniors are learning how to handle money after they graduate from high school. Hopefully, those lessons will keep them from joining the thousands of students who are saddled with a student loan debt that prevents them from enjoying a future of economic security.
Their new MEA membership gives them a voice and security knowing that they're not aloneSubmitted by mgarcia on Thu, 10/01/2015 - 15:01
Bronwyn Jones has been teaching English at Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) for 27 years. She remembers, "As faculty, we are embedded in the school and we are the closest people to the students. We wanted a seat at the table so that we could contribute our collective wisdom to the success of the education institution that we care so much about."
But the administration wasn't eager to have them involved.
OCCFA members fight for online classesSubmitted by mgarcia on Tue, 09/29/2015 - 14:23
The Oakland Community College Faculty Association (OCCFA) spent most of their summer locked in contract negotiations with the College. But their bargaining took on a new focus when the ability of students and the community to use the College to complete their education was in jeopardy. And so the faculty diversified their efforts to champion this new cause.

Great plugin, we're getting reservations off of it.
One minor display problem.
I believe it's browser-related.
In Google Chrome
The dropdown calendar is not displaying correctly in my 'Date of Visit' field. It only shows 3 numbers for the year > 201
Also, it doesn't automatically show the current month. For example if you click the 'left side' of the date field, it'll display the previous month,clicking the 'right side' of the date field up pops the next month.
It used to work before, not sure when exactly this started.
In Firefox and ExplorerThe 4-digit year is barely visible, but you can see the year 2011
The dropdown calendar seems to be working correctly
Also, in Explorer, the Message Box is too big for the border
