We'll take our action Hard Boiled, thank you.
At least John Woo and Midway's collaboration is starting with solid material. Stranglehold, coming this fall to the PS3 and the Xbox 360, will act as the interactive sequel to Woo's acclaimed 1992 Hong Kong action flick, Hard Boiled. Inspector "Tequila" Yuen (who sports the looks and voice of actor Chow Yun-Fat) returns, and this investigation brings him to the "stilt city" slums of Hong Kong and windy Chicago. Like in the director's films, it's the stylish stunts and gunplay that'll take center stage here, making Lead Designer Brian Eddy's goal quite clear: "Take [Woo's] vision for what works well in movies and integrate it into the gameplay."
Tequila's "sixth sense"
No, you don't get all Haley Joel Osment and see dead people. "Inspector Tequila is famous for his 'sixth sense' of knowing where enemies are and using his environments in unique ways to get the edge over his opponents," says Eddy. Sounds great, but what about the ongoing problem of this stuff looking prettier (and performed easier) on the silver screen than in most action games? That's where Stranglehold's simplified control scheme comes into effect. "We want you to concentrate on the smooth-flowing gunplay action and not fumbling with controller buttons," says Eddy. "We clearly highlight what you can interact with in the area, and then a single button press kicks off a cool interaction stunt, and while doing almost any interaction, you can smoothly continue to aim and fire."
Good thing for the straightforward mechanics, as you're gonna need all the help surviving this game's spectacular one-against-many encounters. One scenario has you on a rooftop surrounded by several shady fellas, and your only escape route is zipping across a power line while firing at the supports of a nearby water tower, which eventually collapses and hurls your now-soaked enemies into the marketplace below. Another, as Eddy describes, "finds you at the top of a staircase overlooking a restaurant dining room with a bunch of enemies that you have to get through quickly. Running toward the stairs, you can jump onto the banister and begin 'surfing it' down, which triggers Tequila Time and allows you to take them out faster." The aforementioned Tequila Time is simply Stranglehold's term _for slowing down the action a la Max Payne...not a sign that the Inspector could really use a stiff drink.
Trash the place
Even though Stranglehold's environments have the necessary coat of next-gen polish, they won't stay all nice and shiny for long. Each setting has loads of destructible props, and with that come several curveballs during missions. "This can lead to gameplay where you are moving through buildings by destroying walls, fighting enemies above and below you as roofs and floors collapse from weapon fires and explosions," says Eddy. "We've made our environments multilevel so that the player is moving and fighting on the horizontal and the vertical."
And don't worry about tripping over all that extra debris; according to Eddy, those fine engines under the hoods of the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 will keep the action running smoothly. "We came up with a system where you can go through rooms--even ones filled with tables and chairs and tons of broken objects--without being slowed down or having your combat abilities interfered with," he says. "Everything that accumulates on the floor will get pushed aside as you move through the environment so you'll never get hung up on a broken chair or cement pillar piece. This works because all the objects are dynamic and have physics properly applied." Bragging about your game's garbage? That's next-gen.
Bluelines Online
Few directors have as many trademarks as John Woo: doves, insane shoot-outs, cheesy acting from John Travolta (see Broken Arrow and Face/Off). Mexican standoffs--where enemies stand grill to grill with their firearms pointed inches away from each other, waiting to see who'll pull the trigger first--are another Woo staple. These tense situations will also appear in Stranglehold. "[Mexican standoffs] are very cinematic moments turned into a minigame," says Lead Designer Brian Eddy. "Do well in the standoff--like managing to target a lot of enemies so when the standoff is resolved, you have taken out or wounded them--and you move forward with an advantage in battle as you flow right back into action."br>

You probably know the pixelated Bo Jackson best from his dominating appearance in the NES classic Tecmo Bowl, but don't forget about Bo Jackson Baseball from 1990 that featured the cross-training athlete doing work on the baseball diamond. We're assuming that's the title that's being referenced by the digital version of Bo that shows up on the tongue for the upcoming "Broken "Bats" Nike Air Trainer SC High. Get familiar with the Nike Air Trainer SC High sneakers after the break and then grab them before their March 22nd launch from tonymushroom on eBay.

And now again I want to implement the following:
- A root node a of concept A should be transformed to a node b of B. But root node a should be kept in the model. There will be just one node of A in each model.
- For each node c of C, which is no descendant of a, one node d should be generated to the subtree of b.
- Each node of concept C should be transformed to a node of E.
Is there any way to implement this with just one mapping template without any scripts?
My first approach was to put the functionality of 1 into a root mapping rule with a mapping label. The second step should done by a weaving rule, where the label is used to get weaving context. And the last step can be transformed by a simple reduction rule. But unfortunately the root mapping rule seems not to be applied before the weaving rule starts, since node b is not available as context. I've also checked this with printf-debugging. So I can't follow the order mentioned in http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/MPSD25/Generator

THE man accused of strangling adult industry veteran Johanna ''Jazzy-O'' Martin to death mouthed ''love you'' to family members in the Melbourne Magistrates Court yesterday.
Police allege Steve Constantinou, 48, killed Ms Martin and dumped her body less than five kilometres from his Port Melbourne home on October 11.

Man charged with Jazzy-O murder
A 48-year-old man charged with the murder of sex worker Johanna Marttin will face court.
The 65-year-old grandmother's body was found wrapped in a blanket later that afternoon.
Constantinou made no application for bail and was remanded until March 8.
Magistrate Ian von Einem heard Constantinou had never been in custody before. Constantinou mouthed ''love you" to his family members when he entered and left the courtroom. Several of his family members left the court in tears after the brief hearing.
Friends of Ms Martin's were also in court but declined to comment.
Homicide detectives had revealed during an out-of-sessions hearing at the St Kilda Road police complex on Thursday night that an autopsy had shown that Jazzy-O was strangled and beaten.
Ms Martin was well known in the adult entertainment industry for her ''extreme'' acts, which made her a millionaire. She also owned several properties and a late-model Mercedes.
Ms Martin, who has adult children and whose husband died a few years ago, worked as an independent in the sex industry.
She was the oldest worker in the industry and fellow workers started taking extra security precautions when they heard of her death.

More and more nowadays, NHL teams are building through the draft. As a result, the amount of homegrown players will increase in the coming years.
Of course, teams will continue to try to make their team better by signing free agents and making trades, but if you look at all 30 teams, the biggest star of the team will more than likely be homegrown.
Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin and Steven Stamkos are arguably the biggest stars in the NHL and all were drafted by the team they currently play for. I may have given away Pittsburgh, Washington and Tampa Bay's slides, but hey, those were obvious.
Who is the best homegrown player on each team? Let's find out.

Buy the book, though. The quotations alone are worth the price, and Anu deserves some return for the AWAD website that he has provided free of charge for nearly 10 years. But the book would have been a much better value if it had been twice the length, which it could easily have been, given Anu's virtuosity.
The English language is constantly evolving. Those who lived in the Middle Ages would be bewildered by the common tongue of today. Our democratic culture guarantees that English will never ossify and be under the control of an elite oligarchy. We will keep on adding more words and reinterpreting some in new ways previously thought not acceptable. Thus, Anu Garg will never be able to rest knowing that his task is finished. He has a job for life. The author thankfully possesses more than sufficient talent to handle these responsibilities. Almost certainly Garg's delightful wife Stuti and their wonderful five year old daughter Ananya will continue to offer their assistance. This is a fantastic book that should definitely grace your personal bookshelf. Moreover, it also makes a splendid gift for just about any occasion.

Very secure, friendly staff, clean units
I am totally at peace leaving my items at the facility due to the security in place. The storage unit was very clean and the clerk was very friendly.
The staff was very friendly and we got a great deal on our storage unit. I was most impressed on how secure their facility was. They have cameras, lock up at 1000pm and an access code only gated system.
Overall I am most impressed by the staff But.....
I am most impressed by the friendly staff!! Helpful and very nice. Pricing was so reasonable I moved all my things from Kennesaw u haul. The only drawback is there are only 2 handtrucks for the whole facility, there is a fee to use them and they are inconvenient. They need to provide carts, I hear corporate is working on this. When they come thru I give them 5 stars!!

Flight of a Witchby Ellis Peters
When Tom Kenyon's investigation into the disappearance of a young girl is linked to Detective Inspector Felse's inquiry into a death, the subsequent search takes the two men along a trail of betrayal, robbery, and murder to a deadly confrontation among the ancient stones of Hallowmount Annet Beck is hauntingly beautiful, which worries her parents so much that they guard her as closely as a prisoner . . . until the rainy Thursday in October when she disappears. Annet is last seen vanishing over the crest of the eerie Hallowmount, a hill said to be the abode of witches. Five days later, she mysteriously reappears, claiming that she was only gone for two hours. Enchanted by her beauty, Annet's parents' lodger Tom Kenyon is determined to find the explanation for her disappearance: Could it be deceit, amnesia, or witchcraft? Tom's amateur investigations lead to nowhere until Detective Inspector George Felse finds cause to connect those missing five days with his inquiry into a death. Flight of a Witch is the 3rd book in the Felse Investigations, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
Flight of a Witch (Inspector Felse Mystery #3)by Ellis Peters
[Back of Book] "There is a kind of beauty that produces wolf whistles, and another kind of beauty that creates silence all about it, taking the voices out of men's mouths and the breath out of their throats." Annet Beck's beauty is of the second order and it worries her parents so much that they guard her as closely as a prisoner. . .until the rainy Thursday in October when she disappears. Annet is last seen vanishing over the crest of Hallowmount, a hill in the remote Welsh Country believed to be the domain of witches. Five days later she mysteriously reappears, claiming that she was gone for only two hours. Detective Inspector George Felse doesn't believe in witchcraft, but he does believe in love and he never underestimates its power, especially when it may have led to murder. . .
Funeral of Figaroby Ellis Peters
When Figaro is killed in a plane crash, it seems nothing can save the London production. A world-class baritone arrives from Europe to take over, then he too is killed - in mid-performance. Detective Inspector Musgrave embarks on a quest to discover who is responsible.
El gorrión del santuario (Fray Cadfael 7)by Ellis Peters
Los oficios religiosos de Shrewsbury se ven interrumpidos por una turba de exaltados que persigue a Liliwin, un joven músico a quien acusan de espantosos crímenes. Cuando este pide protección y refugio a la abadía, donde deberá permanecer cual gorrión en una jaula, fray Cadfael se decide a probar su inocencia. La investigación dará un giro inesperado tras descubrir que la supuesta víctima de Liliwin sigue con vida...Este nuevo caso enfrentará al monje detective a las pasiones más oscuras del alma humana, donde ningún crimen es tan cruel como el que se comete por amor desesperado.
Grass Widow's Taleby Ellis Peters
After being ignored on her birthday by both her husband and son, Bunty Felse decides to visit a local pub. At the end of the evening she accepts a lift home from a morose young man who is convinced his life is over. And it may mean Bunty's life is over too. On the eve of her forty-first birthday, Bunty Felse is overcome with depression. The weather is dreary; her only child, Dominic, fails to call with birthday greetings; and her husband, George, arrives home only to announce that he has to leave for London immediately to attend to urgent police business. After almost twenty years as a detective's wife, Bunty doesn't protest or complain; she sends George off with a swiftly packed case. To shake off her black mood, Bunty goes out for a solitary evening walk. She stops at the local pub for a drink and accepts a lift home from a sad young man whose troubles draw her out of her own and makes her feel compelled to help him. But as soon as the car door closes, the driver reveals a dark secret that could lead them both to early graves. Will she manage to escape the mysterious fugitive before it's too late? The Grass Widow's Tale is the 7th book in the Felse Investigations, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
The Grass Widow's Taleby Ellis Peters
'Listen to who's talking. I'm not the one who goes hobnobbing with gunmen and such.' Such is Bunty Felse's light-hearted reply to her husband's parting words of caution, as George is called away to London on urgent police business. But left alone in the house, Bunty begins to feel depressed: she will be forty-one tomorrow and feels that, now their son Dominic has grown up, there is nothing left for her to do except grow older. To shake off the black mood, she goes out to the local pub -- where a chance meeting with a distraught stranger proves that her farewell words to George were horribly mistaken. Caught up in a terrifying , situation, Bunty struggles desperately to hold on to the life which earlier stretched out endlessly before her...
The Heretic's Apprenticeby Ellis Peters
Charges of heresy and murder are complicated by the contents of a mysterious treasure chestIn the summer of 1143, William of Lythwood arrives at the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul, but it is not a joyous occasion--he's come back from his pilgrimage in a coffin. William's body is accompanied by his young attendant Elave, whose mission is to secure a burial place for his master on the abbey grounds, despite William's having once been reprimanded for heretical views. An already difficult task is complicated when Elave drunkenly expresses his own heretical opinions, and capital charges are filed. When a violent death follows, Sheriff Hugh Beringar taps his friend Brother Cadfael for help. The mystery that unfolds grows deeper thanks to a mysterious and marvelous treasure chest in Elave's care.
The Hermit of Eyton Forestby Ellis Peters
Brother Cadfael's pastoral life is upended by the disappearance of a young boy and the arrival of a saintly hermit The year is 1142, and England is in the grip of civil war. Within the cloisters of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, there begins a chain of events no less momentous than the upheavals of the outside world. It starts with the sad demise of Richard Ludel, Lord of Eyton, whose ten-year-old son and heir, also named Richard, is a pupil at the abbey. The boy refuses to surrender his newly inherited powers to Dionysia, his furious, formidable grandmother. A stranger to the region is the hermit Cuthred, who enjoys the protection of Lady Dionysia, and whose young companion, Hyacinth, befriends Richard. Despite his reputation for holiness, Cuthred's arrival heralds a series of mishaps for the monks. When a corpse is found in Eyton forest, Brother Cadfael must devote his knowledge of human nature to tracking down a ruthless murderer.

The Holy Thiefby Ellis Peters
Two groups seek refuge from the rain at Brother Cadfael's abbey, bringing with them mystery and mayhemIn the chill, rainy autumn of 1144, two groups of visitors seek the hospitality of the Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul, and Brother Cadfael fears trouble has come in with them. Among the first arrivals is Brother Tutilo, a young Benedictine with a guileless face and--to Brother Cadfael's shrewd eyes--a mischievous intelligence. The second group, a ribald French troubadour, his servant, and a girl with the voice of an angel, seems to Brother Cadfael a catalyst for disaster. All of Cadfael's fears become manifest as rising floodwaters endanger the abbey's most sacred relic, the remains of Saint Winifred. When the bones disappear and a dead body is found, Brother Cadfael knows carnal and spiritual intrigues are afoot. Now, in a world that believes in signs and miracles, Brother Cadfael needs his prayers answered--as well as some heavenly guidance to crucial clues--to catch a killer hell-bent on murder.
The Horn of Rolandby Ellis Peters
Buried secrets from the Nazi era threaten to destroy an Austrian composer It's been years since Lucas Corinth, world-renowned composer, has set foot in the town of his birth. In that time, Europe has been torn apart by war, but Gries, an exquisite little village nestled deep within the Alps, has not been touched--at least not perceptibly. In this high-altitude paradise, the scars lie just below the surface. As a young man, Corinth worked with the resistance, helping refugees evade the Nazis and escape across the Swiss border. When the operation was discovered, he escaped. His best friend was not so lucky. Back in Gries as the guest of honor for the town's annual music festival, Corinth receives a message: The past has not been forgotten, and vengeance will be exacted. Corinth was born in Gries, and if he's not careful, he'll die there too.
The Horn of Rolandby Ellis Peters
When Lucas Corinth is invited back to the Alpine town of Gries-am-See, it is as a favoured native son. Since his boyhood there during the War, he has become a world-famous conductor and composer and it is fitting that he be guest of honour at the premiere of his new work, The Horn of Roland. But over the celebrations falls the shadow of the past; Corinth's presence provokes bitter memories, memories of occupation, danger, secrecy. And from them springs an implacable threat. In revenge for an act of betrayal, Lucas Corinth's life is at risk.
House of Green Turfby Ellis Peters
When Maggie Tressider awakes after a car crash convinced she has committed murder, private investigator Francis Killian, along with George and Bunty Felse, attempts to unearth the secrets of Maggie's past World-famous opera singer Maggie Tressider wakes up in a hospital after an accident, haunted by the certainty that she has committed a murder. Her doctor suggests that, with the help of a psychiatrist, she may be able to lay the nameless specter to rest. But Maggie chooses a very different expert to help her unearth the secrets of her past. Her commission launches private investigator Francis Killian on a hunt across Europe in search of a grave. But the trail also leads him to one Bunty Felse, a former colleague of Maggie's, and the wife of Inspector Felse. The successful end of Killian's search is only the beginning of a long pilgrimage--a journey that leads not only back into the past, but also to a remote corner of the Austrian Alps where death awaits. The House of Green Turf is the 8th book in the Felse Investigations, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
The House of Green Turfby Ellis Peters
Maggie Tressider, lovely and famous singer, was on her way to a concert when her car skidded on a curve and crashed. She woke up in the hospital, not too seriously hurt but disorientated--and haunted. Haunted by the terrible conviction that somewhere, somehow, in a forgotten corner of her life, she had been the cause of a man's death. Her doctor, understandably, suggested that perhaps a psychiatrist was in order. But Maggie insisted on a private detective. She wanted facts--she was sure of her guilt. This is how Francis Killian came into the picture, and in looking for Maggie's victim (real or imaginary, he wasn't at first sure), he found a great deal more than he had bargained for,
The Knocker on Death's Doorby Ellis Peters
When the late-Gothic, oak door is returned to its rightful place at Mottisham village church, there is a body to go with it A news photographer is found dead at the threshold of the church of Saint Eata, his hand extended to the door's great cast-iron knocker. Surely it is not a coincidence when a second victim is discovered in eerily similar circumstances? Legend holds that sinners who seize the knocker have their hands burned by the cold iron, but Gerry Bracewell didn't die of burns, and neither did the second victim. Did they knock on death's door, or is a more down-to-earth killer at large? Detective Chief Inspector George Felse watched the ceremony to rededicate the door, but little did he know that he would be called back to Mottisham to investigate murder. . . . The Knocker on Death's Door is the 10th book in the Felse Investigations, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
The Knocker On Death's Doorby Ellis Peters
The knocker hung on a heavy oak door with an aarch, and a curse. Legend held that sinners who seized the knocker had their hands burned by the cold iron. But Gerry Bracewell didn't die of burns.
The Leper of Saint Gilesby Ellis Peters
Brother Cadfael must travel to the heart of a leper colony to root out the secret to a savage murder Setting out for the Saint Giles leper colony outside Shrewsbury, Brother Cadfael has more pressing matters on his mind than the grand wedding coming to his abbey. But as fate would have it, Cadfael arrives at Saint Giles just as the nuptial party passes the colony's gates. He sees the fragile bride looking like a prisoner between her two stern guardians and the bridegroom--an arrogant, fleshy aristocrat old enough to be her grandfather. And he quickly discerns this union may be more damned than blessed. Indeed, a savage murder will interrupt the May-December marriage and leave Brother Cadfael with a dark, terrible mystery to solve. For the key to the killing--and a secret--are hid among the lepers of Saint Giles. Now Brother Cadfael's skills must ferret out a sickness, not of the body, but of a twisted soul.
El leproso de Saint-Giles (Fray Cadfael 5)by Ellis Peters
En la abadía de Shrewsbury se van a celebrar unos lujosos esponsales entre un noble y una hermosa joven. Su unión es fruto de un acuerdo que resulta muy satisfactorio para su tutor y el futuro marido, un hombre arrogante y desagradable, pero una injusticia para la rica heredera.Sin embargo, los preparativos quedarán interrumpidos a raíz de un brutal asesinato. Con su singular perspicacia, fray Cadfael se enfrentará a un caso cuyo desenlace sorprenderá a los lectores... y al propio monje detective.
The Mammoth Book of Historical Whodunnitsby Mike Ashley Ellis Peters
This highly entertaining collection, with a Foreword by the creator of the astonishingly successful Brother Cadfael books, combines in that fascinating genre of crime fiction epitomized by The Name of the Rose. Features Peter Tremayne, Paul Harding, Edward D. Hoch, and others.
Un misterio excelente (Fray Cadfael 11)by Ellis Peters
En verano de 1141, Inglaterra todavía se debate en la contienda civil provocada por el rey Esteban y la emperatriz Matilde en su disputa por el trono. Las consecuencias de la guerra llegan hasta la abadía de Hyde Mead, que queda destruida. Sus monjes se han dispersado por todas partes. Dos de ellos buscan refugio en Shrewsbury: fray Humilis, que ha abandonado sus planes de boda para hacerse religioso, y Fidelis, su leal servidor. Nicolás, el antiguo escudero de Humilis, deseoso de cortejar a la doncella con la que este se había prometido, decide pedirle su bendición. Se desencadena así una tragedia a la que solo fray Cadfael podrá poner fin; él es el único que podrá distinguir entre inocente y culpable, e identificar a unas víctimas que han sido condenadas por las exigencias del honor, el amor y el destino.
Monk's Hoodby Ellis Peters
Brother Cadfael is confounded when his own potion is used to kill his former love's new husband Gervase Bonel is a guest of Shrewsbury Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul when he suddenly takes ill. Luckily, the abbey boasts the services of the clever and kindly Brother Cadfael, a skilled herbalist. Cadfael hurries to the man's bedside, only to be confronted with two surprises: In Master Bonel's wife, the good monk recognizes Richildis, whom he loved before he took his vows--and Master Bonel has been fatally poisoned by monk's-hood oil from Cadfael's stores. The sheriff is convinced that the murderer is Richildis's son, Edwin, who hated his stepfather. But Cadfael, guided in part by his concern for a woman to whom he was once betrothed, is certain of her son's innocence. Using his knowledge of both herbs and the human heart, Cadfael deciphers a deadly recipe for murder.
A Morbid Taste for Bonesby Ellis Peters
On an expedition to acquire a saint's remains, Brother Cadfael instead finds intrigue and murder It is 1137, and the ambitious head of Shrewsbury Abbey wishes to acquire the remains of Saint Winifred for the glory of his Benedictine order. Brother Cadfael is part of the expedition sent to the saint's final resting place in Wales, where he finds the villagers divided over the Benedictines' quest. When the leading opponent to moving the grave is shot dead with a mysterious arrow, some believe Winifred herself delivered the blow. Brother Cadfael knows that an earthly hand did the killing. But he doesn't know that his plan to root out a murderer may dig up a case of love and justice, where the waves of sin may be scandal--or his own ruin.

While escorting a young girl to meet her father in India, Dominic Felse and his girlfriend, Theodosia, find themselves embroiled in a mystery that swiftly and shockingly becomes a murder investigation When his girlfriend's beautiful but erratic film-star mother, Chloe, calls to ask a favor, Dominic Felse fears the worst. But she makes the couple an offer they can't refuse: an all-expense-paid trip to India to escort Anjili Kumar, the fourteen-year-old daughter of Chloe's costar, to stay with her father while her mother is filming in England. But Dominic's fears are not unfounded, and they soon discover that traveling with the spoiled, precocious Anjili is no vacation--and the task of delivering her back to her family will be less than easy. For behind the colorful, smiling mask of India that tourists see, there is another country--remote, mysterious, and often shatteringly brutal. . . . Mourning Raga is the 9th book in the Felse Investigations, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Grumman F11F-1 Tiger scratch build 90mm project
A couple of years ago I was talking to Dan and Kevin about new projects and the Grumman F11F-1 Tiger was one of the planes that came up. I hate to say I knew nothing about it or what it even looked like so after the Thud project finished I started looking up info, finding 3-views, photos to study. It was the Navy's first supersonic fighter, It had an interesting start per this info from Wik and Its odd claim to fame was for being the first jet aircraft to shoot itself down.
When I studied its look I noticed it's very similar to modern RC sport jets but with the classic 50's jet design lines. So I chose the Grumman F11F-1 Tiger for my new project. On this one I want to try some new building techniques and learn more about fiber glassing airframes that I have very little experience in doing.
The plan is to make a detailed fuse plug out of foam and cast a single piece female mold somehow. I want to make a light weight fiber glass skin for ascetics and incorporated the carbon rod spine for tying in all the stress components and bulkheads too. Also use cheep components because the Thud was over the top on expensive components.
Here I go.
I'm watching this one for sure. I've been thinking about it for a long time for a pusher prop jet.
I checked to the fan area and 58in fuse got it there for a 90mm. I will mod it a little for a slight rounded inlet. Section D was used for the calc and it is about 1in from the inlet.
I used 2in blue Styrofoam and glued 4 60in pieces together for a starter block. The planned size is 58in fuse with a 42in wing. I also assembled a model for a 3D visual that has helped in the past for this phase of the fuse shaping. The cardboard templates got me to a good starting point before rounding the corners to the 12 profile shapes I got from the 3-views.
sweet project!!!!! the F-11 is a GREAT subject!!!!!ill be watching. this is a jet that is almost never modeled. i know MAHO on here in europe scratch built a 70mm version, and it flies great/ he posted a vid somewhere.....
ill be watching!!
Looks like you guys have gotten a good start. Good luck with it.
hey! you cant come over here gramps!!!! just kiddin
the only real challenge with the f-11 as a model is the main gear location mixed with the ducting. but, with a 90mm in a bird that size....you should have plenty of room
Thanks Guys, this should be a fun one and I hope with not as many challenges as the F-105 once the fuse molding idea gets figured out. Any help there would be appreciated.
Good to hear about a 70mm flying so well. The Angles love it to so it must have flown great. I need that, just can't seem to get enough stick time to feel confident yet.
I am going full electric gear on this one and will build up a mock like Savage did on his very cool F111 gear. Lucky with the rear gear moving forward at station G pivot point the area balloons out at F so that should help for added room. With the gear in the fuse it should also make the Wing a lot easier to make. I also think I should have the front gear swing forward to keep as much room available between the ducts as possible for batt location. I want to go 8s 2P 3700mA maybe an ARC motor and HK fan as a power setup. The theme on this one is cheap and light.
I have sanded up station F and that was the easy part now for the ducting and nose.
Great looking start Jeff. This bird should be a good flyer
Maybe locate the landing gear in a non scale position?

Hi Jeff
Very nice indeed. I don't know if you are aware that the Blue Angel's flew the F-11's back in the 60's. This site, http://www.blueangels.org/, has many pictures of the static display F-11"s in both Blue Angel and non Blue Angel paint schemes. Just select the "old aircraft" box to see all the types that the Blue's flew. The aircraft that is on display on the Intrepid came from the Pensacola museum and the Blue Angel maintenance crew were the ones that dissassembled it and got it ready for shiment. An interesting project as most of the bolts that attach the wings to the spars were severely corroded.
Best of luck with this project and I am looking forward to the finished product and successful test flight.

Malaysian Palm-Oil Stockpiles Drop to One-Year Low in April
Palm-oil stockpiles in Malaysia, the second-largest supplier after Indonesia, slumped to the lowest level in a year in April as production continued to drop from a year ago and exports were flat.
Inventories tumbled 5.4 percent to 1.85 million metric tons from a revised 1.95 million tons in March, the Malaysian Palm Oil Board said in a statement today. That was less than the 1.92 million tons predicted in a Bloomberg survey last week. Output increased 5.1 percent to 1.27 million tons from 1.21 million tons in March. This was 17 percent less than 1.53 million tons a year earlier. Exports were little changed, up 0.14 percent to 1.33 million tons, according to the board.
Prices have dropped 7.1 percent from a 13-month high of 3,628 ringgit ($1,183) a ton on April 10, on expectations of higher output and as concern over the Euro crisis deepened, damping demand for commodities. Lower reserves could halt the decline in prices and possibly improve profits at producers such as Sime Darby Bhd. and IOI Corp.
"Output is probably going through a soft patch and we believe this is going to last longer than what the market is expecting," Abah Ofon, an analyst at Standard Chartered Plc, said by phone in Singapore. The drop in stockpiles "is going to slow that decline in prices; further downside momentum is going to be limited. In the longer term, as output slows more, it's going to create further upside pressure particularly in" the fourth quarter, he said.
Ageing Plantations
Prices are expected to average 3,700 ringgit a ton in the last three months of the year and output will undergo a "severe structural slowdown" because of the ageing profile of plantations in Southeast Asia, Standard Chartered wrote in a report dated April 30.
Output in Malaysia will drop in the first half from a year earlier, Dorab Mistry, a director at Godrej International Ltd., said March 27. From March, production each month will be less on a year-on-year comparison, and the low cycle may end in November, he said March 7. Production for the first four months of the year is 2.7 percent lower than the same period in 2011, according to board data.
The July-delivery contract advanced as much as 1.5 percent to 3,384 ringgit a ton on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange and traded at 3,370 ringgit at 3:40 p.m. in Kuala Lumpur. Futures are up 6.1 percent this year.
Palm-oil exports from Malaysia dropped 6 percent to 450,269 tons in the first 10 days of May from the same period a month earlier, surveyor Intertek said today.
"I'm not overly surprised at exports because Indonesia is now a more competitive player and we also understand that they're building capacity at a fairly brisk pace," said Ofon. "I would imagine that a lot of the imports might defer to Indonesia and that may limit the amount that comes out of Malaysia."
Palm-oil companies are increasing their refining capacity in Indonesia to take advantage of the tax benefits, which give them an advantage over refineries in Malaysia, Adrian Foulger, head of food and beverage research at Standard Chartered Plc, said May 8.
Wilmar International Ltd., the world's biggest palm-oil processor, plans to spend more than $100 million to boost its refining capacity in Indonesia by 50 percent, Chief Operating Officer Martua Sitorus, said today. The company won't cut capacity in Malaysia, he said.

NEW YORK - U.S. abortions fell 5 percent during the recession and its aftermath, by far the biggest one-year drop in at least a decade - perhaps, researchers say, because women are more careful to use birth control when times are tough.
The decline, detailed on Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, came in 2009, the most recent year for which statistics are available. The number of abortions and the rate dropped by the same percentage.
While many states have aggressively restricted access to abortion, most of those laws were adopted in the last two years and are not believed to be involved in the decline.

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypothyroidism
A Simple Plan for Extraordinary Results
By Kenneth Blanchard with Marietta Abrams Brill
Warner Books

Chapter One
Lifting the Fog on Hypothyroidism
Maybe you can remember it-a time when your energy and capacity were in sync with
your life. Think back and recapture that sense of moving with relative ease
through the world. Your energy flowed with the pace set by night and day. During
the day, your physical and mental powers were at your service, while nighttime
brought the restful sleep needed for energetic days-and the cycle repeated. You
ate in proportion to your needs, without unexpected changes in weight. For the
most part (heredity notwithstanding), your hair stayed where it belonged- on
your head instead of the shower floor. If you are a woman, you experienced the
normal ups and downs of life's cycles: puberty, menstruation, fertility,
menopause. Aside from the normal changes in life, your outlook was generally
Then slowly, over time, you began to lose step. A mix of symptoms, ranging from
subtle to incapacitating, burden you. Now you are unable to keep up. You
probablyfeel cold more often. You're the one who always needs to take a sweater
to a restaurant in the summer. For many of you, seasonal and hormonal changes
upset your internal rhythms and send your symptoms into overdrive. You feel
drained of energy, and all you want to do is stay in bed, but a good night's
sleep is just a dream. Insomnia and sudden wakings disrupt your sleep. Not only
has your hair lost its luster, but it is brittle and falling out at the faintest
touch. Your skin feels rough and dry. The area around your eyes looks puffy, and
your voice has deepened or become gruffer. You get muscle cramps, and your
reflexes are weak. Headaches, body aches/joint pain, low blood sugar,
constipation and other digestive problems, severe PMS, unexplained weight
gain-these symptoms may have cropped up.
If you are a woman, your periods might have become heavier and longer, or they
have disappeared altogether. Then there are the emotional and mental effects.
The color seems to have seeped out of your life, and your memory has slipped.
You are no longer nearly as social as you once were, which adds to your sense of
being out of step with the world. You are depressed (who wouldn't be?) and
emotionally unsteady.
In short, you have symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Like a flawless dance partner, thyroid hormones are highly sensitive to changes
in your ever-changing environment. They take the lead in setting the metabolic
pace, helping you adapt to changes in temperature, stress, hormonal
fluctuations, and other conditions.
When there are ample amounts of thyroid hormone doing the rounds, the body is
more apt to respond in a realistic and healthy way to changes. When thyroid
levels are low, the body Wslows down, lost in a fog of sensory stimuli that it
cannot detect, much less respond to.
More scientifically speaking, researchers and clinicians know that the hormones
produced by the thyroid, called T4 and T3, are architects of the body's
ever-shifting metabolism. Metabolism is the use of oxygen and nutrients by cells
to make energy. Generally, the higher your metabolism, the more energetic you
feel (when metabolism's too high, you might feel "hyper"). When your metabolism
flags, though, so does your physical and mental vigor.
Certainly, no single person has all of the symptoms described above. Each
individual is unique. Chances are your suite of symptoms differs from another's.
Yet underlying almost everyone's symptoms is what many weary patients describe
as "brain fog": Your energy is zapped, and with it you have lost your memory,
your capacity to think clearly, the color in your life, your personality. As one
of my patients described it, it feels as though someone stuffed cotton between
your ears. You are essentially robbed of your inspiration, your passion, and
your ability to live a full live.
When the hypothyroid fog sets in, the strong, vital internal metronome that once
drove your life forward in sync with your life's distinctive melody-with all the
high notes and low notes that went along with it-has been muted. The fog is not
just a pervasive symptom; it is an apt metaphor for the state of hypothyroidism
treatment today.
This fog has infiltrated the minds and lives of an estimated 27 million
patients, yet only about 75 percent of people with a depleted thyroid are
diagnosed, and many are not adequately treated.
Much of what you read in this book will probably be new to you. You might assume
that your doctor certainly would have tried this approach, or at least told you
about it. The fact is that your doctor may not know about my approach-or any
other that deviates from his or her knowledge. Too often, physicians follow the
conventions of their field and never look to see what might work better. I
developed this method based on what I learned in medical school and then what I
learned from my patients. I observed them closely and studied what works, then
adjusted therapy accordingly. Everything I do would be approved by the Food and
Drug Administration, and there are many articles in well-regarded medical
journals that support my concepts. However, in spite of the growing demand for
new approaches and the groundswell of information supporting them, too few
doctors seem to pay attention. As a result, most doctors hold close the three
tenets of treatment for hypothyroidism that have left many patients suffering.
Three Flaws in the Conventional Approach to Hypothyroidism
In my view, there are three serious flaws with the conventional approach to
1. Conventional medicine bases diagnosis on a test that does not detect all
patients. The only certain way to diagnose hypothyroidism is with a trial of
thyroid that is fine-tuned to patient response.
2. Mainstream doctors endorse only one treatment: the synthetic thyroid hormone
T4. If you continue to feel poorly, most doctors will tell you that your
symptoms have another cause, because "you are on a thyroid medicine and your
test numbers are good." They seldom make use of other highly effective options:
T3 and natural thyroid extract.
3. When it is employed, T3 is rarely used in the right proportion. In more than
two decades of treating hypothyroidism, I have seen these mistakes over and over
in patients who come to me looking for confirmation that their symptoms have a
cause, and looking for a way to end years of misery. As a result, I've come to
see hypothyroidism in a different light than my conventional colleagues do.
It may seem simple and obvious to treat patients as individuals and to use all
of the therapeutic tools available. But my approach, though rooted in common
sense and the best of today's clinical knowledge, is virtually unknown by the
vast majority of hypothyroid patients and their clinicians. That's why I felt
compelled to write What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypothyroidism.
This book was written for the individuals who are looking for a simple,
clinically safe, and patient-proven way to end their symptoms. For the first
time in any book, you will find a description of how hypothyroidism affects
individuals-women and men-at every life stage. You'll also find how my
treatment helps where others have failed, both in my words and in the words of
my patients.
This book was written for the millions of people whose symptoms have been
dismissed by other doctors because their lab tests were "normal"-and who were
misdiagnosed and treated, often unnecessarily, for other conditions with
potentially harmful drugs. All the while their hypothyroidism and its symptoms
continue untreated, contributing to fatigue, weight gain, and potentially
dangerous heart problems-to name just a few. This book will give you hope that
your symptoms are not all in your head. You are not doomed to a lifetime of
thyroid symptoms because there is an approach that works for you-and for the
millions of others like you.
Last but not least, I wrote this book for open-minded physicians who have sensed
that the conventional approach may work for some patients, but not for all, and
are looking for a new tactic. Herein you will find the clinical rationale behind
my approach, and a clear step-by-step outline of my strategy. My unique 2
percent T3 solution has allowed me to help thousands of patients. It is my hope
that it will give doctors the tools to effectively treat millions more.
Importantly, thyroid rhythms change over time with our bodies' metabolic needs.
Our bodies and environments are in constant flux. It is the job of the thyroid
and related endocrine (hormonal) system to be exquisitely sensitive to changes
in the body's internal and external environment and to help our bodies keep a
metabolic balance that accommodates these changes.
As the body's needs change, so does its need for thyroid hormone. The challenge
is finding a good match and continually fine-tuning treatment to changing
rhythms. I am honored that my patients' health is the most convincing testimony
to this alternative approach. Michelle is one example.
The term "slow motion" is the last one Michelle would use to describe herself.
She is a fit and glowing mother of three children and the director/teacher of a
thriving yoga center. But those are the words she used to describe her life
before discovering yoga and receiving my thyroid treatment.
When she first came to see me at the age of thirty-nine, Michelle was overweight
and mentally foggy, and she suffered from insomnia. Her face was swollen, and
she had terrible acne. In our first input session, Michelle traced her symptoms
back to her teenage years-as so many of my patients do! She remembered often
feeling lethargic and depressed. She was formally diagnosed as hypothyroid at
the age of eighteen based on a high level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
By the time she was thirty, Michelle was diagnosed with Hashimoto's autoimmune
thyroiditis, the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Severe headaches had led
her to neurologists who identified a venous stricture in her brain. Another
neurologist diagnosed epilepsy; she subsequently experienced a toxic reaction to
antiseizure medications. Just a few in a long, long decade of "worse and worse
stories," culminating in the prospect of a brain surgery, thyroidectomy (removal
of the thyroid gland), and exploratory surgery on her colon.
Then two events changed her life: yoga and effective thyroid treatment. With
yoga, Michelle immediately felt the mental fog lift, and she slept better-the
beginning of her road to wellness. "The other part of the equation was Dr.
Blanchard," she says, whom she discovered through the Web site of Mary J.
Shomon, thyroid patient advocate and published educator, at
As is customary, I took a complete history. Based on Michelle's symptoms, my
recommendation was a combination of natural thyroid extract (Armour) and
levothyroxine (Synthroid), also known as T4. My aim with Michelle was to replace
the missing thyroid hormone in physiologic doses-that is, a dosage to restore a
healthy balance of thyroid hormones. A short trial with my regimen quickly
uncovered a problem: skin irritations and outbreaks. Many people with
Hashimoto's thyroiditis have multiple immunologic problems, including allergies.
The skin problems cleared up when I switched Michelle to a dye-free dosage form
of Synthoid. "Other doctors would have sent me to a dermatologist," says
Michelle. Michelle relies on me to keep the chemistry in balance, and she
balances out with yoga. Together we make a good team. Because our bodies are
constantly changing, I encourage all of my patients to stay tuned to changes in
their symptoms and to let me know about them so that I can make the necessary
dosage adjustments. "For me, the first things to go are my digestive system,
sleep patterns, and mental clarity," Michelle says. "I'm sensitive to even
slight changes," which she takes as warnings for a change in dosage.
Over the course of six months, Michelle went from a woman not living up to her
potential to a woman embracing and acting on her abilities. The impact on her
family, her marriage, and her professional life has been enormous. Today she is
symptom-free and able to live her life fully.
Many of my patients have learned to take their symptoms seriously and insist
that their doctors do the same. I encourage my patients to be active partners in
their treatment. It is my hope that this book will instill a similar sense of
confidence and empowerment in my readers-to give them the confidence to trust
their feelings and to persist in finding a doctor who gives them the same level
of respect.
Most doctors would probably have never given Michelle thyroid treatment, because
her tests were normal. If she had followed the recommendations of various
specialists, she may have been misdiagnosed and ended up with unneeded
treatments, a shunt in her brain or a double bowel resection, while her
hypothyroidism persisted, untreated or poorly treated with 100 percent T4.
As this and many other cases show, what you don't know about hypothyroidism can
hurt you. This is a critical lesson that we'll explore in more detail throughout
this book, so that you will have the knowledge to seek out an accurate diagnosis
and the treatment you need.
The American Academy of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) is the governing body
for endocrinologists, the doctors who specialize in hormone problems like
hypothyroidism. Over the past two years, they have twice revised the ranges
considered normal for thyroid function. Basically, they continue to expand the
lab test range for the TSH to include more patients with hypothyroidism.
According to a 2003 AACE press release, "The prevalence of undiagnosed thyroid
disease is shockingly high, particularly since it is a condition that is easy to
diagnose and treat."
It's great that doctors are being encouraged to test more often and to heighten
their awareness of hypothyroidism. The unfortunate fact is that diagnoses will
continue to be missed by most physicians when they base it solely on their
recommended "easy to diagnose" testing method, rather than on how the patient
TSH Tests: The Good, the Bad, and the Irrelevant As far as tests go, the TSH is
a very accurate (in labese, "sensitive") test for what it is designed to
measure: thyroid-stimulating hormone. Doctors can feel confident that it will do
what it should. The problem is how the results are used.
Depending on the laboratory, most physicians suspect hypothyroidism if the TSH
levels are above the normal range.

A look at storm shelters and tornadoes
More than a dozen people were killed when a powerful storm system rumbled across the Plains and into Arkansas.
Typically, people killed during tornadoes die from blunt force trauma -- either being struck by flying debris or being tossed in high winds.
The following are some questions and guidance about underground basements and shelters and how people can prepare for tornadoes.
QWhat is the best way to protect yourself during a tornado?
Most fatalities and injuries during a tornado are caused by flying debris, so the best option is to be completely underground, either in a basement or a storm shelter. Wear sturdy shoes and do not open windows.
QWhat if you don't have a basement?
If you don't have a basement, go to the center of an interior room, hallway or closet on the lowest level of the building, away from windows, doors and outside walls. A general rule is to put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Protect your head with a helmet if possible, and cover yourself with pillows and blankets.
QWhat if you are outside?
Get in a vehicle and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter. If your vehicle is hit by flying debris, pull over and park, stay in the car with seat belt on, put your head down and try to protect it. Do not try to outrun a tornado, especially in urban or congested areas. Instead, either find the closest sturdy shelter or the lowest possible area and cover your head with your hands.
QHow do you prepare for tornadoes at night?
One of the best ways to be prepared at night is to have a battery-operated weather radio that is programmed to come on when severe weather is in the area.
QWhy are newer homes frequently built without storm shelters and basements in places where tornadoes are common?
The main reason that homes in the south are frequently built without basements has to do with how deep the frost level is, said Mike Hancock, who builds basements in Oklahoma. Unlike northern states, pipes, drain lines and septic tanks do not need to be more than 18 inches underground in order to avoid the frost level, Hancock said.

I'm looking forward to the debate tonite

The funny thing is i could make more money if Obama wins the election, i just don't think i could handle another four years and who knows how many more Trillion he would spend. Im still up from Friday with a tight stop, hope i can get something more today. God Bless You Trycure !

That crook bernanke is on his way out too , with a swift kick in his #$%$ !
