Etsy HQ Grand Opening in Brooklyn!
Cool news discovered by Brooklyn fashionista, Elaine Perlov. Looks like Etsy plans to rule the roost down in Brooklyn, represeting the indie craft scene with so much in the works… Check out their impressive offerings below.
Etsy HQ is not only meant to serve as Etsy office space in Brooklyn, but will be the creative communal space in Brooklyn, a future home to trunk shows, workshops, seminars, parties, and a lending library. Etsy says they're working on the Etsy Labs, which will house a silkscreen press, letterpress, jewelry making stations, sewing machines, sergers, and film, music, and video production facilities. Kicking off with a small opening party on February 1st, they'll then open the doors to all of the creative minds out there. This sounds like such an amazing project, I love the whole hands-on factor here, and the opportunity to meet and greet so many other talented artists and designers sounds thrilling. I've been a fan of Etsy from the start, so I'm thrilled for them. Click here for more information. Best of success to Rob and everyone else involved in this Etsy project!

January 18th, 2007 at 1:45amOh I know, I'm so glad someone thought about doing this – they are so clever. They've built such a great name for themselves and won the trust of so many crafters.
Hey did you hear they even want to set up additional locations in other cities in the future for crafters to congregate? Super!

Anyone know if theres a release yet? Its out in Japan already (I think?)Sponsored Links
quoted from psp.ign.com dated August 17, 2005
"At Konami's Summer BBQ 2005 event, the company announced that the PSP version of World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 would release in North America simultaneously with the console editions. Unfortunately, that means we won't be seeing the game until 2006, but the first WE for PSP is feature-packed and was playable at the event in an early version."

2005 9 15!!
I've been playing WE9 for PS2 (Which is even better than WE8!! Very smooth, improved off the ball control and even better AI - 5 star difficulty is actually hard now!), when I can't play that im playing FIFA PSP. I wonder if WE9 PS2 connects to WE9 PSP, maybe to share master league data...

Review: Audio Memos Free provides a clean interface and basic recording tools
Record and save memos on your iPhone with this entry-level recording app.
Audio Memos Free is a fairly basic voice recorder without a lot of frills or added features, but with a solid, smooth performance that will work well for most casual users. Power users might want more, but the voice recording and editing functions here are all well-built and make for a solid, well-rounded, free app that outperforms many other free voice recorders, including the built-in tool that comes on all iPhones.
When you first open the app you can immediately start recording. You can change quite a few settings, as well, including the amplification, normalization, name, and quality of the audio file. Additionally, Audio Memos supports file server integration, allowing you to automatically upload all of your recordings to a server for which you have log-in information. These are all very useful features that can add depth to your recording experience, though most people will be perfectly happy with the clean interface and easy recording functions that are built into this app, as is.
Audio Memos Free is a very basic, stripped-down recording tool in its trial format. It works well but doesn't go above and beyond most users' expectations. The paid upgrade is loaded with additional features that many people will use eagerly, but if you only need a core voice recorder with a few more options than the one built into your phone, this is a good place to start.

Three Social Media Stocks Upgraded
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When the U.S. equities markets opened after Memorial Day stocks gapped higher due to commitments by central banks around the world to continue their quantitative easing programs.
The rally stalled shortly after 10 a.m. following a positive reaction to the Conference Board's reading on consumer confidence came in at 76.2, the highest level since the 2008/2009 recession ended. Even with a five-year high for confidence this reading remains below neutral range of 90 to 110 last seen in 2007 before the recession began. A 76.2 reading actually should be interpreted as consumers being less depressed. The major equity averages then stalled shy of their all-time and multi-year highs and drifted lower for the remainder of Tuesday's session.
On Wednesday the theme song changed to "What a Difference a Day Makes" as Treasury yields spiked higher with the 30-year bond yield rising to a 52-week high at 3.37%. With rising yields bond traders chimed in with the thought that the bond market was beginning to factor in an early end to the quantitative easing measures in the U.S.
With stocks higher on Tuesday and with a higher 30-year bond yield the ValuEngine Valuation Warning intensified to a new high for the year. ValuEngine shows that 73.8% of all stocks are overvalued with 36.9% overvalued by 20% or more. Only 10.8% of all stocks are undervalued by 20% or more.
In this environment ValuEngine upgraded three Internet services stocks also known as social media stocks. ValuEngine also downgraded two Dow components and another important stock in the computer and technology sector. The computer and technology sector is 17% overvalued with the Internet services industry 20% overvalued.

The Penn State Harrisburg men's basketball team fought through the wintery conditions to play its final game of the season against Christopher Newport on Saturday Feb. 21 in Middletown. Seniors Alberto De Los Santos and Joey Farthing both had strong performances in what was the final game of their collegiate careers.
Christopher Newport won, 66-56, and heads to the Capital Athletic Conference playoffs. Penn State Harrisburg (3-22, 3-15 in the conference) finished in last place.
The Captains (18-7, 13-5) pounced early, taking a 9-2 lead right from the start, but Penn State Harrisburg was prepared for the challenge and responded by scoring seven straight to tie the game, 9-9, with 14:11 to play in the first.
Neither team made any headway, and the score was tied, 28-28, at halftime.
Christopher Newport went on a 6-0 run to open the second half in an attempt to run away early. But the Lions rallied with a run of their own to tie the game again, this time 36-36 just five minutes into the second half.
The two teams exchanged blows for the next five minutes of play, with both teams looking for the knockout punch.
Christopher Newport took the lead at the 11:16 mark and kept it the rest of the game.
The Lions did all they could to pull off some late-game heroics but came up short and allowed the Captains to pull away late.
De Los Santos went out with a bang on Senior Day, leading all scorers with 25 points. Anthony Morgan, the Lions' big man, controlled the paint for the Blue & White, scoring 11 points and pulling down seven rebounds in the season finale.
Farthing finished his college career scoring 9 points and collecting seven rebounds in the defeat.
Penn State Harrisburg's work rate and attitude, combined with a strong recruiting class, has the Lion faithful excited about the future of the young program.
Wesley 78,
Lions 71
The Lions came into their game against Wesley on Wednesday, Feb. 18 in Middletown knowing the playoffs were out of reach. That would not stop Penn State Harrisburg from putting together one of their best home performances of the season.
Still, Wesley (12-13, 10-8) clinched a conference playoff spot with the win.
As the game tipped off, the Lions' Arick Sodini wasted no time scoring the first two points of the game. Both teams then battled point-for-point, and neither team could hold a lead for long through the entire first half. Penn State Harrisburg led at halftime, 35-31.
As the second half started, the game remained as tight as it had in the first, although the pace definitely slowed down – there were a combined 46 fouls between the two teams.
Either team could have pulled out the win in the end, but Wesley won the foul shot game in the final minutes and hit a big three-point shot every time it was called for.
Sodini led the Blue & White with 16 points. De Los Santos scored 15, including 7-for-7 from the free throw line, while Morgan led the team in rebounds with nine as well as adding 11 points.

The Penn State Harrisburg women's basketball team celebrated their seniors, Rachel Moyer and Emilee Truitt in the final game of the season on Saturday, Feb. 21 in Middletown. But Christopher Newport did not come just to honor the Lion seniors – the Captains came to win, and did, 80-52.
The Blue & White (4-21, 3-15 in the Capital Athletic Conference) kept things close at the start. Becca Bailey scored back-to-back buckets to bring the Lions within one point with 12:00 to go in the half.
But Christopher Newport (17-8, 13-5) slowly built a seven-point advantage and then finished the half on a 19-5 run to take a commanding 42-21 lead at halftime.
As the second half started, the Captains' full-court press was too much for the Lions, who have struggled with turnovers for most of the season. Penn State Harrisburg turned the ball over 28 times compared to 10 for the Captains – and the turnovers helped Christopher Newport build its lead to as much as 39 points in the second half.
The Lions refused to give up, finishing the final nine minutes on a 19-8 run, which included three-pointers from both seniors. Both Truitt and Moyer also received a standing ovation as the exited the floor in the final minute for the last time of their collegiate careers.
Penn State Harrisburg's youth, as well as five potential starters returning next season, could help improve the Lions next year.
Wesley 62,
Lions 53
The Lions already were eliminated from the playoff race, but Wesley needed a win to stay in contention when both teams met on Wednesday, Feb. 18 in Middletown.
The first half started out in favor of Penn State Harrisburg, as the Lions shot well from the opening tip-off. Penn State Harrisburg led by as much as six points before the Wolverines (11-14, 7-11) found some rhythm and pulled ahead, 19-18 with 8:40 to go in the half.
The Lions responded by finishing the half strong enough to take a four-point advantage going into the locker room.
Penn State Harrisburg continued to stay in control for the first five minutes of the second half, but eventually the Lions' lack of awareness defensively combined with Wesley's speed off the dribble resulted in easy Wolverine layups. Wesley went on a 15-0 run over a five-minute span to take a 48-39 lead with 10:20 left in the game.
Kiara Carter hit two of her 16 points on the night to bring the Lions back within four points, but that was as close as the Lions got.
Wesley slowly killed off the clock and won the game.
Carter led the Lions with 16 points and 15 rebounds for her ninth double-double of the year. Freshman Christine Mabry came off the bench to go 2-for-4 from deep for 6 points in her 12 minutes on the floor.

Penn State Harrisburg faced off against Frostburg St. on Wednesday, Feb. 4 in a game with major playoff implications in the Capital Athletic Conference.
The Bobcats came into the contest two games ahead of the Lions and tied for the sixth and final conference playoff spot.
Despite a second-half run that brought them within reach, the Lions fell, 70-67 in Middletown. Penn State Harrisburg (3-18, 3-11 in the conference) now trail sixth-place Frostburg St. (10-11, 6-8) by three games.
The Lions were up midway through the first half after Arick Sodini hit a jumper to put the team up 12-11 with 12:23 left. But the Bobcats used a 19-7 run in the final 10 minutes of the half to take a 36-22 lead at intermission.
But the Lions responded strong early in the second half, rallying for an 11-0 run in about 2:00 to move to within three points.
Frostburg St. then outscored the Lions 17-5 over the next 10 minutes to gain some breathing room.
The Blue & White made one last run to get back in the game and in the final two minutes the Lions crept within one possession of victory.
But Frostburg State would not allow it. The Bobcats hit consistently from the foul line in the final minute to win the game.
Showing well for the Lions were Anthony Morgan, who scored 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and Joey Farthing, who recorded a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
Southern Virginia 68, Lions 64
Penn State Harrisburg's Tariq Bennett scored a season-high 22 points, but the Lions fell to Southern Virginia on Saturday, Feb. 7 in Buena Vista, Va.
Both teams went basket-for-basket during the first part of the first half, as Southern Virginia (4-16, 2-12) held just a two-point advantage with 12:17 to play in the half.
But the Lions struggled to put a stop to the Knights' ensuing 10-0 run that proved to be the difference in the first. Southern Virginia led 29-20 at intermission.
The Lions could not turn things around until Bennett ignited a 10-2 run with a three-point shot, a run that brought Penn State Harrisburg within four points with 11:30 left in the game.
The Knights pushed back and extended their lead to eight points with 6:15 to play.
The Lions, who have made a habit of hanging close late in their games, used a Farthing layup and another Bennett three-point show to pull Penn State Harrisburg within three points, 58-55 with just 5:43 left.
But Southern Virginia made 6-of-7 shots form the foul line in the final five minutes to hold on for the victory.

For much of the season, it's seemed like Penn State Harrisburg has been one bounce of the ball, one fortunate break, one key run away from picking up crucial victories.
Instead, the Lions have ended up on the wrong end of those situations more times than they would have liked this year. The Lions' matchup against Southern Virginia on Saturday, Feb. 8 was no different.
After falling behind by as many as 18 points, the Blue & White made it a one possession game late in regulation. Unfortunately, the Lions failed to get a decisive defensive stop when it mattered most and ultimately fell to the Knights, 74-67 in Middletown.
Will Doyle continued his recent string of stellar outings for Penn State Harrisburg (7-14), dropping a game-high 16 points on Southern Virginia (5-13). He also dished out a game-high five assists. Sophomore Jared Deibler, a Middletown Area High School graduate, added 12 points and a team-high six rebounds off the bench. Teammate Rayshaun Anderson-Brown was also strong, posting 11 points and five boards.
The Lions were strong out of the gate, jumping out to a 12-5 lead when Joey Farthing converted a layup at the 14:42 mark.
The Knights regrouped and kept things close during the game's opening 10 minutes. Southern Virginia's Wesley Evans connected from beyond the 3-point arc with 7:06 remaining in the first half to tie the score, 20-20.
From there, Southern Virginia ended the half on a 12-4 run and took a 32-24 advantage into the break.
After both teams struggled to get going offensively to begin the second half, Penn State Harrisburg scored 6 unanswered points to cut the deficit to 32-30 on a layup by Winton Lyle with 15:22 left to play.
But just as quickly as the Blue & White climbed back into the game, Southern Virginia increased its lead thanks to a 12-0 run over the next two minutes.
Trailing 52-34 with about 8:00 left to play, the Lions made one last push.
Penn State Harrisburg traded buckets with the Knights before getting stops on the defensive end that allowed the Lions to cut into Southern Virginia's lead. The Lions put together an 18-8 run over a stretch of 4:30 to bring them within 4 points, 62-58 with 2:06 left in the game.
Unfortunately, that's as close as the Lions would get.
Doyle and Anderson-Brown did their best to keep the Lions in it, but every time the Blue & White made a big shot, Southern Virginia had an answer.
The two teams shot nearly identically from the field (43.5 percent to 42.1 percent), but Southern Virginia held the edge in shooting from distance, knocking down nine 3-balls compared to just three by the Blue & White.
The Lions also struggled from the foul line, shooting just 58.8 percent.
Lions 75
Frostburg St. 65
Behind a career-high 22 points from freshman Logan Stovall, Penn State Harrisburg upended Capital Athletic Conference foe Frostburg State on Thursday, Feb. 6 in Frostburg, Md., ending the Lions' six-game losing streak.
Three other Penn State Harrisburg players reached the double-digit scoring mark: Doyle netted 14, dished out a game-high five assists and pulled in a team-best five rebounds; Kenny Stone dropped 15 on the Bobcats; and freshman Marquese Daniels added 13 points.
The Lions fell behind 9-2 in the early going before putting together a 7-2 run that got them back into contention.
After Frostburg (2-19, 1-12 in the conference) jumped back out in front 20-13, the Blue & White again fought back, cutting the deficit to 20-17 thanks to Doyle's trey at the 7:09 mark.
A Stone jump shot pulled Penn State Harrisburg (4-8 in the conference) to within 1 point, and the Lions grabbed their first lead of the game, 23-22, when Stovall converted a layup with 4:26 left in the first half.
Both squads traded the advantage over the next several minutes until Stovall knocked down a shot from beyond the arc to put Penn State Harrisburg out in front 35-32 heading into halftime.
Doyle connected for another triple just seconds after the break to increase the Lions' lead to 38-32, but the Bobcats battled back over the next 4:00, with a pair of Torrell Goodman free throws drawing Frostburg to within 1 point, 43-42 with 15:17 left to play.
Over the next few minutes, however, the Blue & White steadily began to put distance between themselves and Frostburg State.
Deibler converted two free throws to put Penn State Harrisburg ahead 50-44 at the 12:24 mark and Doyle flushed another 3-ball to push the Lions' advantage to 53-44 with 11:41 remaining.
Free throws by Stone and Lyle extended Penn State Harrisburg's lead to 61-51 with 7:13 left to play, and Stone's layup at the 6:03 mark kept the Blue & White advantage in the double-digits.
Frostburg cut the deficit to just 5 points when Nick Smoot connected from downtown with 2:19 remaining. That's as close as the Bobcats would get the rest of the way.
Frostburg was forced to foul and Daniels and Stovall converted their free throws down the stretch to keep the Bobcats at bay.
The game's most telling statistic came in the form of reserve play. Penn State Harrisburg got 52 points from its bench compared to just 10 by he Bobcats' backups.
The Lions also shot a stout 58.1 percent from the field compared to just 38.8 percent for Frostburg.
The Blue & White shot 55.6 percent from beyond the arc. Frostburg managed just 26.7 percent shooting from distance.

Well, testing has shown two problems with it so far. After fixing those, I've now got chapter09 to validate OK. I'll finish testing the rest of the profile then submit the (hopefully final) RELAX NG schema. Oh, and some good news. Discussions on IRC suggested that using entities and RELAX NG together is not possible. Well, it is, I was just misunderstanding google's results. What you could do in DTDs was declare entities as part of the DTD itself. You can't do that in RELAX NG. However, we declare our entities *outside* of the schema, and we *can* use them in our profiles without a problem. Cheers, Matt.

After a hot and steamy start, the clouds rolled in and dumped a little, but very necessary, rainfall on Bluffton. Here in Bluffton Park, my station measured 0.04 inches for the day.
Our high reached 91.8 degrees. If you factor in the humidity, it felt like 100 degrees around 1230pm this afternoon.
Our low for this morning was 71.3 at 0630am.
As I'm am writing this, the rain has cooled us off to 73 degrees with a very high humidity of 93%.

Danny Welbeck coached by Ruud van Nistelrooy at 13
After establishing himself for club and country in 2011, Manchester United's Danny Welbeck has become yet another youngster at the club to make the breakthrough from the academy into the first-team. There is no doubt that the youth set-up at Old Trafford is one of the best in England, but the 21-year-old appears to have one person to thank in particular for his development - former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Dutchman can be seen giving advice to a 12-year-old Welbeck in a 2003 DVD called 'Play Like Champions.'

Sea turns blood red at Bondi Beach
Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach resembled a scene from a horror movie after algae turned the sea blood red.
Patches of the red algae, a natural phenomenon that can be exacerbated by certain weather conditions, were sighted between Bondi Beach and Maroubra Beach.
Both Bondi Beach and Clovelly Beach were closed while authorities conducted tests in the water. Gordon's Bay was also closed due to the algal bloom.
Waverley head lifeguard Bruce Hopkins said the bloom was first spotted drifting off the north side of Bondi Beach.
"It has got quite a fishy smell to it,'' he said. "It can irritate some people's skin but generally not much more than that."

A friend called and asked if I would look over and test out his new Micro Mosquito that he purchased from Radio Shack. This article is the result of our efforts and my conclusions since we ended up flying not one, but two Micro Mosquitos!
Wingspan: | Rotor length 6" |
Weight: | 1.1 oz. |
Length: | 9" |
Main Motors: | Two 7 mm coreless |
Tail Motor: | 4 mm motor |
Transmitter: | 27 MHz |
Channels: | 3 |
Micro Mosquito Battery: | 160 mAh LiPo not replaceable per manufacturer |
Manufacturer: | InterActive Toy |
Available From: | Radio Shack |
Price: | $59.99-$69.99 |
Kit Contains:
Additional Items Needed:
Screw the antenna into the transmitter. Slide open the battery box and insert a 9-volt battery and close the battery box. With a Phillips screwdriver open the bottom of the charger and insert six C-size batteries and then close the battery box.
From the bottom of the charger pull out the charging cord and connect it to the front of the Micro Mosquito (arrow on top of the charger plug is on top facing the Micro Mosquito), and turn on the charger. When the green flashing light goes off, it is charged and ready to fly.
The left stick on the transmitter moves up and down only and is the throttle control for the Micro Mosquito. The right stick moves up and down and side to side. The up and down movement (or forward/backward if you prefer) controls the tail rotor that is facing upwards and moves the Micro Mosquito forwards and backwards. The right sticks side to side movement controls the spin of the entire Micro Mosquito. Coupled with forward motion, it allows one to steer the Micro Mosquito. There is one trim tab in the center of the transmitter, and it rotates left and right to allow one to center the spin of the helicopter (or to have the spin in neutral) for a stable Micro Mosquito.
I moved the left stick up/forward from the bottom/back position, and the rotors started turning. I moved the stick up quickly until I had lift off and when I gained a couple of feet of altitude, I leveled off by slightly moving the left stick down. The Micro Mosquito was in a constant, and rather fast, rotation to the left. I was able to get it to stop by moving the right stick to the right. I landed and turned the trim dial all the way to the right. I was hoping I would have some right spin on this next lift off. RATS! When I lifted off, it still had some left spin, but it was much much slower. I flew for a couple of minutes with the right stick held slightly to the right to prevent the spin and worked on controlling and changing the altitude.
I was starting to feel in control, so I moved the right stick up/forward and the tail rotor started spinning and the Micro Mosquito actually started to move forward. But I slipped a bit on the right stick and started spinning and losing my control of the Micro Mosquito's direction. I went down with the right stick and then to neutral, and then lowered the left stick as well. I landed back on the table but not on the landing pad. Two more short hops, and it was time for a charge. While the Micro Mosquito charged, I read through the instructions to see if there was a fix for the spin.
Per the instructions you "adjust" one of the rotors depending on the direction of your spin. Whether it is the top or the bottom rotor depends on the direction of the spin, but in either case they don't tell you how to "adjust" the rotor. I watched the main motors and their gears with the Micro Mosquito on and the rotors spinning as well as watching them with the MIcro Mosquito off to see if I could spot what turning the adjustment dial did to correct it. I spotted nothing.
I decided to try adding some tape to the legs of the Micro Mosquito. I thought adding tape to the left rear leg would make the spin worse, and it did. I tried the right leg, and I saw no difference between with and without tape. I wrapped some more around the right rear leg, and it might have helped a little, but I still needed to keep constant right with the right stick during the flight. Hoping it might get smoother with some running time, we flew it for a total of four charges and noticed no improvement. We decided to try a fifth flight and this one would be timed for duration. We understood flight times were supposed to be about 10 minutes, and we didn't think we were getting anywhere near that time in the air before it landed.
Pushing it to get as much flight time as possible, we learned that the Micro Mosquito would first seem to lose power and have to land at about five minutes. However after landing, I could take it right back up and fly some more. As the flight continued, I had to use more and more right on the right stick to keep control and prevent spin. When I got to full right to prevent spin, one of the rotors would slow down and force a landing. But alternating air time and landing, we were able to get 10 minutes of flight time from a charge.
I had no problems with radio signal or basic commands but the spin required constant right stick with the trim adjusted to the maximum to the right. That made flying very difficult to control. We took the Micro Mosquito back to Radio Shack and exchanged it for a new one after explaining our problem. Our local store was very understanding and gave us no problem. With the second model, we were able to get in trim and control the spinning while using less then half of the trim tab adjustment to the right. As expected it did require some adjustment during flight as the charge went down, but the difference in control of micro Mosquito 2 vs. 1 was as the difference between night and day.
I spooled up the rotors and lifted off the table. I made a slight adjustment to the trim tab and the copter was hovering in level flight. YEAH BABY! I gave more throttle and moved the right stick up as well for forward flight and forward she flew. I moved the right stick to the right and made a 180 degree turn and flew the Micro Mosquito back for a controlled landing on the table. I made two more flights where I had control, and then a fourth flight where I lost it a bit and made a forced landing after the top and bottom rotors bumped. My friend then made his first fully successful flight.
Three more flying sessions with full charges were conducted. While our control wasn't perfect, we found we had a pretty controllable micro helicopter with this second unit. We both need a little more practice time to fully master the control of the Micro Mosquito, but very good control came with this second model. We made a night video of the second Micro Mosquito to better show off its lights. It was a lot of fun to fly, and my friend went home with his Micro Mosquito intact and flying well... a very happy man.
Yes and no! As designed, the Micro Mosquito is for beginners. The manufacturer recommends that it is for those 12 and older, and that is a good general mark, but I trust parents and guardians to supervise and determine if their child is ready for this product or not. Other than that, there is no reason that a beginner cant succeed with the Micro Mosquito if it flies like the 2nd model tested.
Properly working, I highly recommend them as being very controllable and fun to fly. If you can control the spin by just adjusting the trim dial in the middle of the transmitter I suspect you have a model that can be easily controlled. If you can't stop the spin even adjusting the dial all the way in one direction then I would recommend exchanging it. The design appears to be very good, but there appears there maybe a quality control problem in the actual assembly. Keep your sales receipt, and check it immediately for spin control, and be prepared to take it back for an exchange if the spin can't be adjusted with the trim dial.
If you want something with controllable flight for small spaces indoors then this may be just the ticket for you.

I bought one of these earlier this year at the RAD Shack.
Flys great and pretty tough, but one big flaw as I see it. The on/off switch failed on two of these. The first one failed after about two weeks of use. Took it back and RAD Shack swapped me out. The second one lasted nearly two months of limited use, and the on/off switch also failed. The switch now just freely moves back and forth. Seems like the metal conductor tab breaks off inside. I've found several web sites that sell the parts, but it wasn't worth it to me to replace the copter. Fun though when it flys and much better than the Silverlit Picoozz foamy's. Oh, one thing, add a little super light oil between the rotor shaft and the tubes that they are housed in. As time goes by, the metal shafts tends to get a little sticky and cause the unit to work harder to spin. A little wd-40 free's this up, so it uses less Mah and also doesnt' require as much counter rotation correction caused by the extra drag. regarding Dealextreme.com you gotta love this if you own a blade CP or CX style of heli http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7621 |
Dec 04, 2007, 06:06 PM | |
I bought the original bladerunner heli from interactive toys wich carries the same mechanics as the mosquito. When you have trouble getting rid of the spins, they recommend to bend the blades on one of the rotors. Just take the back of the blade and bend it down to get a higher angle of attack.
The rotor to adjust depends of the spins direction. This has to be done once in a while, mostly if the rotors hit something. |

I would try again to adjust the blades. Usually you adjust both rotors, decreasing pitch on one and increasing it on the other.

Yanko Design agrees: Rugged compacts needn't look it
You don't see the nuts and bolts in one designer's concept for a Nikon Coolpix eXtreme.
(Credit: Camillo Vanacore/Yanko Design)
After seeing this year's offerings at CES and PMA, I was disappointed by how Frankensteinian rugged compacts are, with all their nuts and bolts hanging out.
So I hope someone somewhere heeds the new concept cam by Yanko Design's Camillo Vanacore for a flashy faux Coolpix dubbed "eXtreme," which he describes as "an all-weather, all-terrain coolpix device that looks sleek and really knows how to rough it out!"

Ray Lewis Respects Ward.
To a man, the Ravens stood before the microphones yesterday, displayed great professionalism and poise, and suppressed their deeply held, collective belief that Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward is the spawn of Satan. They might not literally believe that, of course -- and even if they did, they were certainly under a Hines-inspired gag order anyway. But it is safe to say there aren't a lot of warm, fuzzy feelings toward the man who is one of the NFL's best receivers and one of its most potent instigators. And they face him Sunday, two months after the words "Ward" and "bounty" were uttered in the same sentence on a radio show by Terrell Suggs. No, the Ravens don't necessarily like Ward. Ravens fans are sure to make it clear they don't like him. But they do respect him -- everything about him, even the things that make him so unlikable, like his chatter, his smirks, his flexes and his teeth-rattling blocks when they're least expected (on Ravens in particular, such as Ed Reed and Bart Scott in recent years). And why not? Were Ward doing these things in a purple-and-black uniform, rather than gold-and-black, he might be one of the most beloved Ravens of all time. If ever there were players cut from the same mold, it's Ward and the central figures on the Ravens, the ones who give them their identity, the ones who are respected and feared, but also despised, and, most of all, uncannily effective in getting into opposing heads and under skins. (Ask Jarret Johnson, who probably hasn't been allowed to forget the out-of-bounds hit on Ward that shifted momentum in the second half of their first meeting this season.) It should be no surprise that, at least in public, Ray Lewis -- hated as much in Pittsburgh as Ward is in Baltimore -- had no cross words for Ward and praised him at length before yesterday's practice. Asked if he would like or respect Ward if he were a teammate, Lewis said: "I like him and respect him right now. ... He's a hell of a competitor. You can't take that away from that guy, and he plays the game one way. Hey, you're not going to like everybody; everybody won't like everybody in this business. But the way the man plays football, you have to commend him for that. "Outside of that, if you look at anything else, then I think it becomes more personal." Ward certainly has never taken things personally. The games against the Ravens might have extra spice, but he has enraged opponents and fans all over the league throughout his career. Not long after the "bounty" talk in Baltimore heated up, Ward incited several Cincinnati Bengals to swear vengeance after his block broke the jaw and ended the season of linebacker Keith Rivers. For what it's worth, none openly threatened to "kill" Ward, as Scott did last season. Nothing even remotely that incendiary has escaped any Raven's lips this week. Take that as a very positive sign. The amount of time spent talking and worrying about Ward -- a 6-foot (maybe), 32-year-old receiver, as he himself enjoys pointing out -- two months before they even faced each other again, was mildly embarrassing. Showing any sign Ward was in their heads now, much less on Sunday with so much on the line, would be devastating to their hopes of winning. The Ravens themselves know how many games can be won just by showing up because the other team is too focused on image and reputation, even that of one particular player. Which, again, makes Ward their kind of guy.

Another 5.5 miles in the books!
I was a sweaty mess afterward.
And this hot hot heat has definitely gotten to my appetite. The whole run I barely felt like my lunch was digested.
Which meant come dinner time, all I really wanted was another smoothie:
I went with the Protein Blast smoothie again – strawberries, banana, soymilk, apple, honey, protein and body boost.
Hit the spot.
Time to relax!

Crime Stoppers seeking 'Not So Good Samaritan' for allegedly stealing cash
POSTED: Monday, April 7, 2014 - 9:14am
UPDATED: Monday, April 7, 2014 - 11:13am
Lufkin, Texas (KETK) — The Lufkin Crime Stoppers is seeking the help of the public in identifying an alleged thief.
On Friday, March 4, a woman entered a grocery store on North Timberland Drive in Lufkin and turned in a wallet she found in the store's parking lot. The receiving employee, thinking she was dealing with an honest person, did not collect the woman's contact information but put the wallet aside for its owner.
An hour later, the wallet owner returned to the store looking for the wallet she left in a shopping cart in the parking lot. She found that most of the wallet's contents were intact but her cash was missing.
A review of videos captured by cameras inside the store showed that the "Good Samaritan" had rewarded herself for returning the lost wallet. The quality of the video is low but it clearly shows the suspect removing cash from the wallet.
The suspect, as seen here in images taken from the store's videos, is a medium build, white female with shoulder-length, brown hair. She wore a camouflage-pattern coat, a dark shirt, blue jeans and pink or red tennis shoes.
Under the Crime of the Week section of www.LufkinCrimeStoppers.com, you can view portions of the videos showing the suspect as she steals the cash and turns in the wallet.
If you can identify this suspect, call Crime Stoppers of Lufkin at (936) 639-TIPS or submit a tip at www.LufkinCrimeStoppers.com. All calls and tips are anonymous and Crime Stoppers may pay a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest related to this crime

Amid school closings, neighborhood violence and a myriad of management tasks, some administrators in Chicago Public Schools are working to implement new teacher evaluations intended to improve classroom instruction. One administrator says each observation requires three or more hours of work. "The principals are being asked to do a really difficult task," said Carol Caref, the Chicago Teachers Union's research director. "It's a huge, huge change for principals to be spending so much time with teachers."

John Travolta Messes Up 'Let It Go' Singer's Name
By editor
Originally published on Mon March 3, 2014 11:11 am
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer.
Seems bad boy Danny Zuko still doesn't do his homework. The star of "Grease" had a walk-on last night in the Oscars. John Travolta introduced Idina Menzel, calling her wickedly talented. She starred in "Wicked" on Broadway. But it quickly became clear he'd never heard of her. He introduced her as Adele Dazim. The song Ms. Menzel sang, from "Frozen," won the Oscar, anyway.

US 5234430 A Abstract An orthopedic fixation screw for anchoring a bone graft in a bore formed in a bone mass. An elongate cylindrical nose portion has a substantially smooth outer surface for being received without interference into the space between the graft and a wall of the bore. A threaded portion interferingly engages the graft and a wall of the bore as said threaded portion is rotated when the nose portion is so received. An hexagonal socket in the rear of the screw receives either a driver having tapered hexagonal walls for tightly receiving the screw on the driver during installation or a conventional hex driver for removing an installed screw in the event the tapered driver is unavailable when the screw is to be removed.
Claims(2) 1. A method for securing a bone graft in an endosteal tunnel comprising the steps of:
drilling an endosteal bore of a size sufficient to form a space between said bone graft and a wall of the bore when said graft is inserted in said bore, said bore having an open end and a closed end; inserting the graft in the open end of the bore; providing an uncannulated bone screw having a cylindrical elongate nose, a substantially hemispherical leading face, and a tapered root adjacent said nose, said nose having a diameter less than the root diameter and further having a smooth surface adapted for sliding without rotation and without cutting bone into said space with said bore wall and said graft abutting said nose; orienting the longitudinal axis of the bone screw responsive to fully inserting the nose thereof into said space without rotation and without cutting bone while said bore wall and said graft abut said nose; thereafter rotating said screw until the threads thereon begin to engage said bone graft and said bore wall; and continuing screw rotation until the threads of said screw fully engage said bone graft and said bore wall thereby fixing said graft in said bore. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said bone screw further includes a cylindrical root portion adjacent said tapered root and where the thread depth on said tapered root is substantially the same as the thread depth on said cylindrical root portion.
Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to orthopedic fixation screws and methods and more particularly to such screws and methods in which a bone graft is anchored in a bore formed in a bone mass. 2. Description of the Related Art The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is 25 mm-40 mm in length and is frequently injured in contact and other activities. Such injuries can cause instability in the knee to the extent that ACL reconstruction may be required. The replacement of the ACL with the central third of the patellar tendon using a bone-tendon-bone graft is a known method for restoring knee stability. In this procedure, the central third of the patellar tendon and portions of bone at either end thereof are taken as a graft. A tunnel is bored in the distal femur and proximal tibia, i.e., where they join at the knee. The bone-tendon-bone graft is disposed with one bone segment in one of the tunnels and the other bone segment in the other tunnel. With the graft so disposed, each of the bone segments are anchored by screwing an interference screw into the tunnel between a tunnel wall and the bone segment thereby anchoring the segment in the tunnel. Such procedure is illustrated and described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,927,421 to Goble et al. for process of endosteal fixation of a ligament. The Goble et al. method suffers from several disadvantages. First, the interference screw is cannulated, i.e., it has an axial bore for riding a guide wire into the bore. The wire must be inserted into the bore adjacent the bone graft before the screw can be installed. The guide wire prevents divergence of the screw as it is screwed into the space between the graft and the tunnel wall. A special driver, also having an axial bore for receiving the guide wire, must be provided to install the screw. Threading the wire through the bore is an additional surgical step, in itself undesirable, which has the potential for creating metal debris. In addition, the guide wires can bend or kink. The screw of the Goble et al. application provides an extremely steep taper at the leading end thereof which rapidly compresses the graft as the screw is installed. The present invention comprises an orthopedic fixation device for anchoring a bone graft in a bore formed in a bone mass. The screw includes an elongate cylindrical nose portion for being received without interference into the space between the graft and the wall of the bore. The threaded portion on the screw interferingly engages the graft and a wall of the bore as the threaded portion is rotated when the nose portion is so received. The present invention obviates the need for using a cannulated interference screw and further provides improved gradual compression of the graft as the fixation screw is installed. The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment which proceeds with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an enlarged view, partly in cross-section, of an orthopedic fixation screw and a portion of a driver therefor constructed in accordance with the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view along line 2--2 in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a view, partly in cross-section, of the screw of FIG. 1 with the nose thereof disposed between a bone graft and the wall of a bore in a bone mass. FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 after the screw is fully installed. Turning first to FIG. 1, indicated generally at 10 is an orthopedic fixation device for anchoring a bone graft in a bore formed in a bone mass. Device 10 includes a driver 12 and a screw 14. The screw includes an elongate nose portion or nose 16, a threaded body portion 18 and a threaded tapered portion 20 which extends between the nose and the body portion. Nose 16 includes a hemispherical leading face 21. The nose is preferably at least twice the length of the diameter of the nose. The tapered portion 20 extends for approximately three complete threads from nose 16 to threaded body portion 18. As can be seen in FIG. 1, threaded body portion 18 has a cylindrical root while threaded tapered portion 20 has a root which tapers from the body portion to nose 16. Because the root is tapered as shown, the distance between thread crest 22 and root portion 24 on the tapered part of the root is substantially the same distance as between thread crest 26 and root portion 28 on the cylindrical part of the root. The present embodiment of screw 14 has a uniform pitch of ten threads per inch along the threaded portion thereof. A rear surface 30 of screw 14 includes an axial hexagonal socket 32. The socket walls are parallel to the axis of screw 14 and are sized to receive a conventional hexagonal driver. The height of the thread crest becomes progressively less between about thread crest 34 and rear surface 30 of the screw. A substantially 30� chamfer 36 is formed at the juncture between rear surface 30 and the root of threaded body portion 18. The progressive reduction of thread crest height thus forms a spiral between crest 34 and chamfer 36 as viewed in FIG. 2. Driver 12 includes a shaft 38 having a driving end 40 formed on one end and a handle (not shown), similar to the handle of a screw driver, formed on the other end thereof. Driving end 40 comprises a hexagonal driver having walls which taper inwardly between the juncture 42 of driving end 40 with shaft 38 and the outer end 44 of driving end 40. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the distance between juncture 42 and end 44 is slightly less than the depth of socket 32. The relative sizes of driving end 40 and socket 32 are such that the hexagonal walls of driving end 40 engage the interior walls of socket 32 as the screw socket is fitted over driving end 40. Such engagement occurs just before rear surface 30 reaches juncture 42. Given that the interior walls of socket 32 are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of driver 12 while the walls of driving end 40 taper as described above, the screw can be fitted onto the end of driver 12 by pushing the screw until driving end 40 and socket 32 are tightly engaged. Turning now to FIG. 3, a bone mass 46 has a bore 48 formed therein. In the case of ACL reconstructive surgery, the bore is formed in either the distal femur or proximal tibia, or both when screw 14 is used to anchor both ends of a bone-tendon-bone graft. Bore 48 is also referred to herein as an endosteal tunnel. One end of a bone-tendon-bone graft 50 is shown received in bore 48. Graft 50 includes a tendon 52 and a bone portion 54 connected to the tendon. The other end of tendon 52 (not shown) similarly includes a bone portion connected thereto. In use, an orthopedic surgeon bores a hole in bone mass 46 which, for purposes of the present explanation is assumed to be the distal femur. This is accomplished using a conventional orthopedic drill and may be done endoscopically as may be the remainder of the following-described procedure. After bore 48 is drilled as shown in FIG. 3, one end of graft 50 is positioned in the bore as illustrated. Screw 14 is fitted onto driver 12 as described above so that socket 32 is firmly engaged with driving end 40. The surgeon grasps driver 12 by its handle (not shown) and positions screw 14 as illustrated in FIG. 3, i.e., nose 16 is received in the space between bone portion 54 and the interior wall of bore 48. Nose 16 is referred to herein as being received without interference into the space between the graft and a wall of the bore. This describes the relative sizes of the nose and the gap between bone 54 and bore 48 and the fact that when screw 14 is positioned as shown in FIG. 3, no threads are engaged with either bone 54 or bore 48. Next, the surgeon pushes axially toward the screw on the handle of driver 12 and begins rotation of the driver handle thereby causing the threads to engage the inner wall of bore 48 and bone portion 54. As threaded tapered portion 20 advances, the tapered root enters the space between bone portion 54 and bore 48 thereby gradually compressing bone portion 54 against the other side of the bore. As the tapered root advances, such compression gradually increases until the screw is positioned as shown in FIG. 4. When enough of screw 14 is advanced to compress bone portion 54 against the bore and retain the same therein, bone portion 54 is anchored by an interference fit between the screw and bore 48. Once the screw is positioned as shown in FIG. 4, the surgeon may withdraw driver 12 by gently rocking the driver and pulling the handle so as to withdraw driving end 40 from socket 32. It should be noted that if it becomes necessary to remove the screw during a later surgical procedure, socket 32 cooperates with a standard hex driver. If a driver, like driver 12, is not available when the screw is to be removed, it may be removed with a standard hex driver. Another screw, like screw 14 can be used in a corresponding bore in the proximal tibia (not shown) to anchor the other end of graft 50 in a similar manner to that described above for anchoring the graft in the distal femur. Because of the tapered root, the threads are able to gain purchase at a relatively narrow portion of the root so that graft shifting or twisting during installation is less likely to occur than with prior art screws. Nose 16 thus aligns screw 14 as illustrated in FIG. 3 and maintains the alignment as the threads are advanced into the bone. Because the tapered root reduces the force which must be applied to the screw to engage the first several threads, the nose is sufficient to maintain alignment of the screw. It is therefore not necessary to provide the screw of the present invention with an axial bore having a guide wire received therethrough to prevent screw divergence as it is installed. Having illustrated and described the principles of my invention in a preferred embodiment thereof, it should be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing from such principles. I claim all modifications coming within the spirit and scope of the accompanying claims. Patent Citations

I bought a 6in Pro Comp lift used off a guy, he said it had only been on for 1200 miles when he took it off and sold his truck. It has no paper work except whats printed on the box which is below and also pictured. The shocks have on them
On the box
6 14901 19018 2
Ive looked on Pro Comp website but they only have 2 listed for my truck and neither look like what i have. Ive also sent them a email but no reply. I probably should have done more research before i bought it but it was such a good deal (IMO) I couldn't pass it up. ill attach pictures of everything i have but the bolts and if anybody can help me i will be thankful
