Last week in Florida, John Errol Ferguson was executed. Sixty-five, he had been on death row for 30 years for killing eight people. He is also mentally ill, a a paranoid schizophrenic. The 11th Circuit cleared the execution, of this man who declared himself the Prince of God who upon death would rise to save America from some Communist plot.
From one news report:
Ferguson and two others were convicted of killing six people in 1977 during a robbery at a Carol City house used by marijuana dealers. Ferguson dressed as a utility worker to gain access and let his accomplices inside. Most of the victims were friends who happened to drop by the house while Ferguson and the other men were there. The victims were blindfolded and bound, and the encounter turned violent after a mask fell off one of Ferguson's gang members and his face was spotted by a victim.
The decision was made to kill all eight people in the house. Two survived. At the time, it was the worst mass slaying ever in Miami-Dade County.
Ferguson also was convicted of the 1978 murder of a 17-year-old couple, Brian Glenfeldt and Belinda Worley, from Hialeah. They were shot as Ferguson, dressed as a police officer, tried to rob them while they were parked at a lovers' lane. Worley was raped.
The randomness of the crime and the age of the victims stunned many in Miami. Ferguson confessed to killing "the two kids" after he was arrested in April 1978 for the earlier killings, court records show.
Worley's mother, Edna Worley, waited for decades for Ferguson's execution but died last year.
Ferguson was sentenced to die in both cases; he used the insanity defense in the trial over the teenagers' murders.
The issue of Ferguson's mental stability was a current that ran through his life, and his execution came after months of court appeals. Ferguson's lawyers said their client had a long history of mental illness. The attorneys appealed his case to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying that Ferguson lacked "rational understanding" that he will be executed and that killing him would be "cruel and unusual punishment," violating the Eighth Amendment.
Christopher Handman, Ferguson's lead attorney, said his client's mental illness manifested itself long before the slayings. Ferguson's alcoholic father died when Ferguson was 13, and that's when he started experiencing hallucinations, family members told the attorney. Ferguson also experienced abuse by his mother's boyfriends, then was abandoned by his mom and raised by his sisters in a vermin-infested shack in Miami-Dade County.
When he was 21, he was shot in the head by a police officer in Miami. For several years in the 1970s, Ferguson was in a state mental hospital and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia; he was twice found not guilty of crimes by reason of insanity. Handman said one doctor wrote that Ferguson should not be released because he was a danger to himself and to society.
But he was released and, months later, committed the Carol City murders.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals cleared him for execution, determining him "mentally competent to be executed despite his mental illness and the presence of a delusional belief." The Supreme Court was asked but didn't get involved.
I really don't understand how we can tolerate killing the innocent, the most vulnerable, and the sick – also vulnerable.
The Religion News Service has up an interview with Karen Clifton, the executive director of a group that opposes the death penalty, the Catholic Mobilizing Network to End the Use of the Death Penalty; it includes some insights on the humanity admist the most inhumane crimes:
MO: In addition to fighting against capital punishment, you promote restorative justice. What's the goal of restorative justice?
KC: Restorative Justice asks us to consider how we achieve justice and promote healing of the victim, the perpetrator, and the whole community. It's not an easy out for the perpetrators; it's actually more difficult. The offender has to recognize what they have done, own their actions, and then work to restore the harm they have caused. Through our retributive system of justice, all is focused on the offender. We need a system that gives the victim a voice, as well as the means to heal. The death penalty has proven not to be a source of healing, but a system that re-victimizes the victim's family for many, many years.
Asked whether moral arguments or economic arguments are more compelling to people, you perhaps can guess the answer:
MO: What's more effective in converting people to your cause, moral arguments or economic ones?
KC: Depends on the audience. I would say initially, the economic arguments are more effective. People have usually not thought about the death penalty and often they don't know the facts. If you give them the facts about cost, then they are often open to hearing the moral arguments as well. They often don't know that execution can cost three times more than a life sentence in the highest level security prison, that poverty plays a major role in who gets the death penalty, as people with money do not sit on death row, that it's racially biased, that one-third of all executions come from only 15 counties in the US, that there is a high probability of executing an innocent person. Once people hear this, they are open to hearing the moral arguments about a flawed system playing God, the lack of redemption, and the dignity of human life.
Shouldn't – particularly people who profess to be Christian – feel pretty damned bothered by the fact we so often don't even pause as we watch local news stories or see headlines about men and women killed by the state? I suppose when we talk about pink sneakers and go Vogue instead of confronting the fact unborn children who can feel pain are legally killed in the womb in the U.S. — and left to die in botched late-term abortions – it's not a surprise that we'd let ourselves off easy when it comes to men who've done abhorrent things and ended lives. But we're complicit in injustice ourselves if we look away from these things or, even, celebrate. And that's not just for Christians. We're a nation founded on a belief in the inherent right to life. And there needed to be justice in the case of Ferguson, but I can't see how justice is served when the state intentionally kills a mentally ill man.

The Athletic Standard Index
SATs. Credit rating. Auto insurance score. Chances are, you've got a number associated with each. Ever wonder where you'd rank as an athlete?
Enter Athletic Standard and its athletic performance scoring system, the AS Index (ASI). Using a few key performance drills (dash, vert, shuttle, etc.) and a couple of physical measurements, the Index generates a standardized score (0–3,000) for raw athleticism that's applicable to any sport. For a frame of reference, most of the population scores under 500; Tim Tebow rates a 2,139.
Athletic Standard has a 30-year track record winning with college and international teams; but now, lucky for you, their ASI technology is available to trainers and athletes everywhere. The company's soon-to-be-launched Athletic Intelligence Management (AIM) application not only calculates an athlete's ASI score, it can also rank player against player or track an individual athlete's progress with just the click of a button. Trainers can identify which areas need work to better an athlete's overall numbers, and athletes can keep score as they improve.
It's like Kaplan for the weight room—but leave the #2 pencils at home.

Stop by and check out my brief author interview.
"You don't have to be like everyone else. It's okay to be you." Blossom the cow
Those words, the essence of what they mean, speak to my heart. The words of wisdom come from one of my beloved children's book characters: Blossom, a spirited cow with a definite mind of her own.
I have done many things in my life and have worked at many different jobs. Being a writer is truly who I am, though. This is where I can let my imagination run free. This is how I can share with the world my love for creating characters, helping them face conflicts in life, and giving them happy endings.
Writing as Starla Criser my focus is on relationship stories about people over age 55. Most recently I have added writing children's stories to my writing career. I have also published romance for seventeen years under another pen name.

Vera Would Beat Chuck IMO!
IMO...Vera..is..a..terrible..matchup..for..Chuck.. and..I..think..he...would..finish..Chuck..he..migh t..not..have..Chucks..power..but..every..other..ad vantage..goes..to..Vera..
i agree it would be a great match but the only thing that concerns me is if vera has a chin on him but id give advanted to vera aswel.
Ive only seen like 2 Vera matches so im no expert. But Chuck can throw like a boxer, and his take down defense is awsome, so i would go for Chuck, plus i think he's cool and one of my fave fighters so im a biased fanboy :P
could vera actually fight at lhw?
I actually think this would be a good matchup. I wish Chuck would get the Tito thing over with and just step up to HW already.
i...wanna..see..Chuck..step..up...and..fight..Vera ..after..he..beats...Sylvia,so..he...can...try...t o...hold...both....belts!!
Chuck doesn't want to fight wanderlei and I think vera can take him at 205, Chucks is going down.
Vera could beat him but I think Chuck would put him in his place.
Chuck by KTFO in the first round. I like Vera a lot, but until I see someone actually outstrike Chuck I would never take a striker over him. Ortiz has a better chance than Vera would IMHO.

My midwife came over this morning for my monthly prenatal checkup, and everything is looking good. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat with the fetoscope for the first time (I was never able to pick it up on the fetoscope during my last pregnancy) and it was pretty awesome. It just sounded truer somehow - not amplified or distorted like on the doppler.
The best news is that my blood pressure is looking really good these days. I had posted previously that I was diagnosed with chronic hypertension in 2010 (it's hereditary, and I'm well into my 40s now), and have been on bp meds which was keeping it under control. However, when I found out I was pregnant, my doc had to switch my meds and it seemed like it wasn't nearly as effective - my bp was still hovering around 140/70. It's been probably the biggest concern for both me and my midwife. She had me start taking this supplement, Hemoxide, a few weeks back, and my bp is now consistently around 125/60 - woot!! She actually wants me to think about trying to forego my bp meds and see how my bp does just with the Hemoxide. We shall see.
Anyway, I'm feeling really good - morning sickness has been gone for weeks, feeling squirms and wiggles, and beyond the usual tiredness, just feeling really good. I have my 20-week ultrasound scheduled for Jan. 31.

What was the standard issue rifle for the British army during the 60s? Probably mid to late 60s? He said they called then SLRs, but didn't know anything beyond that.

The SLR (short for Self Loading Rifle) is the British version of the FN Fal. It is cut with an inch pattern, so it is a little different from many countries. Australia and many others commonwealth countries used the same.
June 11, 2008, 11:18 PM
You are right on the SLR. If am not mistaken the SLR was British Army speak for what we know as the FN/FAL. Of course it would have been the inch model not the metric. But then again I could be wrong... wouldn't be the first time.
June 11, 2008, 11:20 PM
FAL SLR L1A1. Spent a little time with some Aussies in an exotic land once carrying one.
Nice rifle. I probably ought to own one.
June 11, 2008, 11:20 PM
Yes, it was the Self-Loading Rifle or SLR, which was a version of the Belgian FN FAL that was very popular during that time period and into the 70s and even the 80s. It was called the "Right Arm of the Free World," for this reason. I believe the British used the inch pattern instead of the metric pattern receiver that was more popular. The rifle was so popular and adopted by so many countries that the British, armed with SLRs, fought Argentinans armed with SLRs when they retook to islands. Pretty much the only difference was the the British version lacked the capability to fire fully automatic (not uncommon among battle rifles), while the Argentine version could.
Think 7.62x51mm gas operated, air cooled, short piston, tilting block firing from, typically, a detachable 20 round magazine.
June 11, 2008, 11:26 PM
What they said. The SLR, aka L1A1, aka FN-FAL, aka Right Arm of the Free World. In the running for best battle rifle EVAR, and still in widespread use today in several corners of the world.
June 12, 2008, 12:55 AM
SLRs we in used as late as the Falklands, where FAL fought FAL. The L1A1 was adopted around 1957, and served until replaced by the SA80 in 1985. Unlike the FAL, the L1A1 was semi-automatic only, with no provision for fully automatic fire.

the slr soldiered well into the 90's with some arms. the sa80 (L85a1)was issued piecemeal to the infantry first up then to other units. I used the SLR between 1988 and 1992. i found it accurate, super reliable, very tough. The replacement i carried round west belfast was flimsy, unreliable, more accurate upto 300 yards but the magazine used to drop off, it would only cycle 4 or 5 rounds before packing up.
we used to do a defensive battle simulation where a section of men would be in a fortified position and the targets, that fell when hit, advanced in waves from 600 metres.
I was an experienced shot as a lad and and my job in this exercise was to knock down the far away targets. I used to nail them, i loved it. the rifle used to get so hot i couldn't hold the forend with a bare hand.I use to hold the sling near the swivel. My rifle just never seemed to stop.
when doing FIBUA (urban fighting) the rifle was good for knocking doors down etc. My training sgt was a naval gunfire observation officer. He went up tumbledown with the Scots guards. He was , as part of a special unit, issued with an M16 but changed back to an SLR. He told me that with the 7.62 weapon if you hit the enemy they went down and stayed down whereas sometimes it took 4 shots from the 5.56.
I liked it. It was an awesome rifle in skilled hands in the defensive battle it was envisaged for it would have been commanding.
June 12, 2008, 09:22 AM
One thing that tended to differentiate the SLR/L1A1 from most other weapons of the time was that at a (relatively) early stage the weapon was issued with 4X optical sights, the SUIT (Sight, Unit, Infantry Trilux).
Another solid, squaddie proof piece of kit I used to love. If you ran out of ammunition it acts as a very effective club.....8-)
June 12, 2008, 04:45 PM
Good info. Thanks! I was hoping that they didn't cost so much. Would have liked to have been able to get him one. Maybe someday.
June 12, 2008, 06:27 PM
If you're in Britain, dream on.
June 12, 2008, 11:21 PM
Actually, the L1A1 (British nomenclature for their FAL) DOES have full-auto capability. requiring very little in the way of mods to fire full-auto. Years ago, the L1A1 was very common in Canada, and they all had the "safety sear" which is essential to FA function.
Knowing a good bit about the rifle from my Canadian Army service (Canada was the first country to put the inch-pattern FAL into production and service), I found that all I needed for FA was a suitably-modified beer can pull tab..... hey, I SAID it was "years ago"!
With the little piece of aluminum installed in the trigger-sear assembly, I had reliable full-auto function at about 800 rpm, but ONLY full-auto, and the thumb safety was non-functional. I judged the firing rate by comparison to my MG42 and Bren MGs, one faster at 1200 rpm and the other slower at about 500-600 rpm. A full-auto 10-pound 7.62 NATO is a handful, but firing from supported prone allowed reasonable effectiveness to maybe 100 yards in 3-round bursts on man-silhouettes. A BAR bipod mounted on the flash suppressor also steadied things quite nicely, adding a couple of pounds out front.
It was fun, but certainly not practical.

Did Springfield Armory not make one of these for awhile. They don't seem to today. I thought they wanted to do for the FN-FAL what they still do for the M-14 in the way of the M1A.

Springfield Armory imported a semi auto version of the FN made in South America. I had a couple. Nothing to write home about, but they worked. Mine were metric pattern guns and not the Inch pattern SLR. Both were traded for M-1As which were Much more accurate than the South American FAL types.
FAL type rifles were made in various countries via license.

nut, it was called the "mechanical musket". Who is the "he" that you reference? Family, friend, crazed ex-Squaddie living in your basement?:D
Nice rifle. I probably ought to own one.
Dek, if you buy one, you have to post a photo of you running around with your knees up and then saluting palm up!:D Right then, run like the clappers to the gun store.:p

Fellow Hoosier, yes, they did. Called it the SAR-48. I had friends in the '80s that owned them. Decent weapons.

FN is based in Belgium, but make stuff in different places, even Souf Cackalacky. The FNs that Springfield Armory marketed were South American receivers finished up in Illinois.

I heard the FAL was extremely reliable except in sand. Since I'm sure there are people here who've used an FAL in adverse conditions, can you tell me more?
Deer Hunter
June 13, 2008, 05:14 PM
The stock FAL had a little trouble in the sand (what rifle doesn't, to a degree?). Most problems were fixed by adding sand cuts to the receiver.
June 13, 2008, 05:17 PM
sand cuts
I've seen those, how do they affect accuracy?
Deer Hunter
June 13, 2008, 05:40 PM
As far as I know it didn't affect the accuracy. Don't take my word for it, though. Check the FAL Files to be sure.
June 13, 2008, 06:14 PM
The sand cuts were/are shallow diagonal milling in the surface of the bolt carrier.
Has no affect on the accuracy at all, just allows sand to be moved away from the action and reduce the possibility of binding.
June 13, 2008, 11:07 PM
The sand cuts work really well and don't effect accuracy. They also have a variable gas system, and you can just up the power to keep the fal soldiering on.
DSArms is probably your best bet for a new Fal nowadays, but many FALs built with an Imbel reciever are fine rifles.
I love them.
June 13, 2008, 11:08 PM
What is the inherent accuracy of the FAL like? I've heard tilting blocks are innacurate.
June 14, 2008, 12:38 AM
The same as any other battle rifle typically. 2-4 MOA. I seen some shoot better. Mine normally does 2 inches at a 100 yards. Some of the crappier builds such as Century Frankenfals may have a little less accuracy.
They do have wonderful ergonomics though in my opinion.
June 14, 2008, 12:48 AM
Well, the M1A will get 1 MOA, if I remember correctly.
And the G3 has the PSG version, which can get lower than 1 MOA (and is really heavy).
I was moreso talking about the action, not individual rifles.
June 14, 2008, 12:48 AM
All this talk about FALs and not one person posted a pic???
Here is a 2008 version of the "Right Arm of the Free World"

Well, the M1A will get 1 MOA, if I remember correctly.
And the G3 has the PSG version, which can get lower than 1 MOA (and is really heavy).
I was moreso talking about the action, not individual rifles.
So will an accurised Fal, but most aren't built that way.
A standard grade M1A or a military M14 and generally are in the in the 2-4 MOA range, and even today the military acceptance grade for M14 and M16s is 4 MOA. A high quality build Fal and the right ammo could drop down to 1 moa, though you spending the same sort of money you would on a match national m1a. It would be a bit unfair of course to compare national match rifles with a standard grade build.

Sidetrack on this general topic. Caliber questions etc.
Maybe our DOD can someday trade a whole warehouse of AR-15s for some British/Aussie/Euro FN FALs if they are still functional.
Wouldn't the large round be much better keeping the insurgents' heads down and going through thin obstacles with the ability to still penetrate? My Russian 7.62x54R (steel core), with each shot, went through both sides of a large oxygen cylinder. Would an AR do that?
Many combat veterans prefer the 7.62 caliber and point out how the DOD would lose face if it tried were to discuss this. Maybe if this one winds down fairly soon, they could order quite a bit+spare parts. Are the still-popular M-14s only used by snipers?
Don't the M-14s and FALs function much better with Asian sand and grit than AR-15s? an Iraq veteran described the dust as talcum powder and aircraft have to be specially protected. Not only engine intakes but various 'bleed air' systems and pitot-static (airspeed, ivsi, altimeter: even engine 13-stage bleed air comparison for pack auto shut-off) functions etc are quite vulnerable. My company's equipment was quite vulnerable enough (here) to maint. outsourcing and its 'well-camouflaged' follies. So maybe ARs function ok outside when the wind blows over there? I have the impression that the enemy's AKs and the SKS rifles will still shoot under almost any conditions.
I am not qualified to question what many veterans seem to prefer. Maybe toes are stepped on, and am a relative novice with guns
(certainly no {yet} hunting or combat experience), but we are talking about American lives along with allied troops' lives (and those of the 'host country')
Maybe it is best to carry much more of lighter, thinner ammo. Many Vietnam vets call the AR "the Mouse Gun". Some prefer the AK-47.
Much of this on 'Warrifles' etc.
June 14, 2008, 02:18 AM
The thing is, 7.62 NATO's great and all, but it's too damn big. To many, 5.56 is too damn small. You need something in the middle.
Which is pretty much what the 6.8 SPC and 6.5 Grendel are trying to do.
June 14, 2008, 02:20 AM
Maybe our DOD can someday trade a whole warehouse of AR-15s for some British/Aussie/Euro FN FALs if they are still functional.
Unfortantly they were all shot out and falling to pieces decades ago. Those that were in better condition were sold off.
Wouldn't the large round be much better keeping the insurgents' heads down and going through thin obstacles with the ability to still penetrate? My Russian 7.62x54R (steel core), with each shot, went through both sides of a large oxygen cylinder. Would an AR do that?
Not really. The 5.56mm NATO is going to put you down with shot placement the same as any other round. There are tales from WW1 of soldiers complaining how the 30-06 doesn't have any real stopping power too. Now it might have some problems going through some of the houses in Iraq, but so do many 20mm rounds have problems. Plus it allows far more rounds to be carried and far easier to be aimed and keep on target.
Many combat veterans prefer the caliber and point out how the DOD would lose face if it tried were to discuss this. Maybe if this one winds down, they could use them plus the same ammo required by the still-popular M-14s.
Don't the M-14s and FALs function much better with Asian sand and grit than AR-15s?
Many prefer the M16 too. Heck you be lucky to even come across an M14 in Iraq. It is kind of a rare sight no matter how much hype you hear about it. As for dealing with the grit, the 40 years of improvement on the Ar-15 has really helped with that. Of course I yet to hear who these many veterans crying for the M14 are. We also have to realise the Ar-15 of today is quite different from the one carried in early Vietnam.

Thank you for the diplomatic responses to a late-bloomer's (always bumbling) quest for the big picture.
Nolo-even Ruger has built a Mini in 6.8, as you may be well aware of (maybe Wolf will produce such low-price ammo).
It's good to be better informed on our troops' main rifles. Believe the M-14s went to certain select units in Afghanistan.
My Mini 14, 30 (and SKS) are keeping our general area truly safe from floating insurgent grapefruits and Taliban melons.

I own a Springfield SAR-48. It is built on an Imbel receiver. It is as accurate as any stock military semi-auto I have fired, M1, M1A, H&K 91.
June 14, 2008, 06:14 AM
SLR didn't break and you could always have giggles if there was a yank on the range by winding the gas down to maximum so maximum recoil:evil:
but 120 rounds as standard load not good :(
June 14, 2008, 09:21 AM
120 rounds? I heard it was 80 (3 mag changes). Either way, a bit lacking.
I understand there are a lot of SLRs sitting in the back of the larger armouries, along with L4 Brens, BHPs, Stirling SMGs etc. Turns out, since we have emergency conscription and a small standing army (even counting the Weekend Warriors) we don't have that many L85s, L86s or Minimis on hand. That'd be great fun; issueing a whole load of Johnny Joblesses half-worn-out SLRs and a few hundred rounds of that hot-loaded RG 7.62 intended for machineguns, and telling them 'enemy are over that hill. You run at them, and draw their fire.' Quite the credible emergency defence plan huh? :uhoh:
June 14, 2008, 11:09 AM
think the decent SLR's got given to sirea leoane see the west side boys
everything else got scrapped:(
fired 7.62 taken from link though an SLR not a problem.
might have a problem in some 9mm pistols firing 9mm meant for smgs though
June 14, 2008, 07:13 PM
When I had less waist and more waistline and had to schlep the L1A1 the official hot to trot warrie load was 5 or 7 magazines of 20 (depending on how relaxed your 58 pattern mag pouches were) plus at least 100 round belt for the GPMG.
If your section or platoon commander gave you the "things may go pear shaped" look you would then beg, borrow or steal a spare respirator case and load another 6-10 load of 20 round boxes in.
If in doubt more ammo, more water..........

Duelist Twin Conversion
This is actually my third conversion after my LT-40 ARF and my (originally) rubber-powered Right Flyer.
I was given this Pica Duelist powered with a pair of O.S. 25 glow engines and no other equipment. It is painted up in the livery of a WWII-era Italian bomber. As close as I can figure, it was built sometime in the 70's.
I had a laundry list of mechanical refurbs including freeing (and lengthening) the landing gear, building servo mounts, assembling linkages and re-installing radio gear and servos.
The other part of the equation was determining the E-powerplant and batteries. I chose to use 2 Mega 22/45/3 brushless inrunners each powered by it's own 4S1P A123 pack through a Castle Phoenix 45 controller. The props are Master Airscrew 11x8 3-blade props and it all pulls about 34 amps static for 394 watts (close to 800W total). I'm not sure of the AUW but estimate it in excess of 10 lbs.
The servos are Standard Hitec HS-422 (rudder, elevator, 2 for ailerons) and I have a separate 4S Nicad pack (no BEC).
It flys!!! We maidened it this evening in 6 mph winds and it took off very sweetly. We did 3 laps of the field in 3 minutes (all WOT) and landed (breaking the tail-wheel mount). Only pulled 699 mA out of the 2200 capacity so I figure I'm good for 7 minute flights WOT, a bit more with throttle management.
Now to repair that tailwheel and learn to fly it for myself for this weekend's Mid-Am Fly.

Update... I've flown it myself.. A very surprising amount of power for takeoff.. Up in 10 feet on the propellors!
I've gotten around to weighing it. AUW of 9.5 lbs for 83 W/lb power ratio..
I figure I'm good for 6-10 minute flights.

Hi Robyn
Seriously slinky twin that. Looks good with that tailwheel UC too - vaguely recollect that the oily version had a trike, but could be wrong. The paint job is awesome - I've have kept quiet and claimed I did it ! Except my club buddies know I can't paint for squat.
Your motor choice is interesting - I have one of them in my present Piper Cub - Sig 1/6th scale clipwing. Very handy and powerful, very quiet running too. Mine might be a different wind to yours, but it's an impressive motor.
Where's your batteries - fus or nacelle? I really have to do a twin, might pin your photos on a virtual notice board somewhere for inspiration.
Thank you for sharing

Hi Dereck,
Thanks for the props! (sic)
I took it out last night to the local club hosting the Mid-Am this year for a pre-contest wringout. I turned the sticks over to my flight instructor, one of the pioneers of electric flight. He did all sorts of fun things with it in the air including snap rolls, slow 4-point rolls, loops, hammer-head turns and of course big gorgeous loops!
I got another flight in myself but dorked the landing (too far out) and broke a prop. All good after new prop. Will fly it again this weekend.
Motors are 22/45/3, 1000KV (not the e model) and yes, very smooth and quiet. At full song it does sound really neat though. The batteries are right in the nacelles, snuggled back against the LE, right where the fuel tanks used to be. UC is very springy and yes, various people have commented that the Duelist was nose-wheel.
Let me know if you want any full-resolution pics and I can email them to you.
We have the arf on the wall here,it's tempting me badly,even have the retracts already
Well guys I'm gonna do it..........scored an original Duelist kit the other day and I am going to convert it to ELEC
Robyn's plane is fantastic!! I hope mine turns out half as nice. I'm going to stick with the trike gear and air retracts. Still not sure where to put the batteries as I am concerned about the final balance....
If there is one thing I HATE it is adding weight to a finished plane in order to get it to balance. I'd rather put the servos in the tail now rather than add lead later.
Any advice is well taken and accepted Skip

Hi owned a duelist in the 70's and it and all others I have seen were for 40's IC mine had twin 45's and while quick not unmangable. I'm getting ready to convert several models myself is am very interested in this adventure some vid. would be nice good flying Les
I now have both wing halves done and after some sanding will be joining them. The CONVERSION part will come when mounting the engines. I plan on extending the firewall forward some to get more room in the battery compartment (where the fuel tanks would be). ESC's in each wing will be under the batteries in a seperate compartment. COOLING....will be an issue for the batteries and the ESC's which will be delt with when I get to that point!
This is going to be fun!
I ended up buying a partial kit for $25.00 that belonged to a friend that passed away. It was missing the fuse but luckily former templates were in the box. I cut them out on our bandsaw at work and I'm looking over the manual, thinking about the conversion. I fly all EP currently so that is the route I'm taking .
The wing is already built and very well at that, going to put in Electric retracts as well, may convert to a tail dragger
Anyone have build tips? I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this bird
You might get some ideas from the Paul Bradley Mini Duelist, designed for EP
RCG thread
Check out this video, it is Gerry Armstrongs Duelist EP conversion from SEFF 2011
Lots of very useful pictures.....
A few projects ahead of this one for me

You might have the impression that the Civil War ended sometime around 1865, after the Confederate armies stacked their weapons, the soldiers returned to their homes, and the Southern states were readmitted into the Union.
Perhaps this renewed love affair doesn't quite rise to the level of Humphrey Bogart's Rick finding Ingrid Bergman's Ilsa in "Casablanca" - "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine" - but it is pretty darned close.

Republican State Sen. Fran Millar represents Georgia's 40th District in the north Atlanta suburbs and is not your typical glad-handing, hail-fellow-well-met kind of politician. One Atlanta newspaper columnist calls him "perpetually grumpy" and "ornery." Now in his third term in the Senate after serving 12 years in the House, what you see with Sen. Millar is what you get: perpetually grumpy and ornery and a straight-shooter.
This is a fight over "freedom" that legislators don't really need. It's a fight they could have avoided. But it seems to be a fight that they are destined to have.
Editor, The end of the year comes with the very important duty for the Tax Commissioner's Office to issue property tax notices to our property owners. With a relatively late adoption of the required millage rates by our levying authorities, there is not much room for error if we are to bill in a manner to allow taxpayers who desire to pay by Dec. 31 the opportunity to do so.
This is a great month for de-cluttering your life. Although any month will do, January is a fresh year.
It was a rare, precious afternoon for me. Dixie Dew and I were settled deeply into an easy chair with legs flopped across the ottoman. She snored and I read, enjoying every delicious moment of a wonderful biography on Jackie Kennedy.
Her intentions were innocent enough as Claire Lapella purchased her very first copy of The Lennox Valley Hometown News on Tuesday, May 5, 1998. She had read The Hometown News once before, after finding an old copy under a phone book at the home where she and her "soulmate" lived before he found another soulmate and moved on. Now, stranded on her own in a place with no friends and no obvious place to make friends, Claire made her first trip alone to the town square.
Editor, One of the greatest statesmen this country has ever known is Thomas Jefferson, who lived from April 13, 1743, to July 4, 1826. He died 190 years ago, but his wisdom still lives on.

While most adults who rely on cash and food assistance in Georgia lack any education beyond high school, not enough of the state's workers are trained for so-called middle-skill jobs. Middle-skill jobs require more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year degree.

Jim Garlow: Marriage Equality Ruling Would Make Supreme Court 'The Laughingstock Of Historians And The World'
SUBMITTED BY: Miranda Blue, Saturday 04/25/2015, 3:12pm
At today's March for Marriage, Pastor Jim Garlow offered a lengthy explanation for why he believes marriage equality is wrong, asking the audience to repeat several Hebrew words found in Genesis before rearranging the letters to make the word "fire," which of course proves that if you allow marriage equality you are going to Hell. "You mess with the definition of marriage, and you burn, you're toast, you can't win that one," he said. This explanation is so obvious, he said, that if the Supreme Court rules in favor of marriage equality this year, it... MORE

Speaking at the National Organization for Marriage's March for Marriage today, Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver repeated his frequent comparison of a potential Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality to the infamous Dred Scott decision, declaring that he would have "no choice" but to disobey such a "lawless" decision. Staver, who has recruited hundreds of anti-gay activists to sign onto a pledge to disobey a high court ruling in favor or marriage equality, told the crowd, "As someone who's argued before the United States Supreme Court, I...

There was a special tone of urgency at today's March for Marriage, held just days before the Supreme Court hears arguments on the constitutionality of bans on gays and lesbians marrying, which even many marriage equality opponents believe may lead to a sweeping decision in favor of marriage rights. Father Johannes Jacobse, an Orthodox priest from Florida, set the tone at the National Organization for Marriage's event when he warned that if marriage equality becomes law, "in the end, the state will be telling you how to live and you will lose your freedom and the family will...

Rev. William Owens, president of the NOM front organization known as the Coalition of African-American Pastors, spoke at today's March for Marriage where he declared that he had participated in "the real civil rights movement" and "didn't march one yard, one foot for the same sex to get married." Saying that the push for marriage equality is nothing but a "bully movement," Owens declared that the fight against gay marriage is the modern civil rights movement and, as such, activists must refuse to comply with laws recognizing it and be willing to go to...

Yeah, dream on.
Considering how grotesquely expensive going to a live game has gotten (unless you're willing to have seats in the parking lot, and even that's expensive), sitting at home with my passably-large-screen TV (with a good sound system), inexpensive drinks and snacks, and being able to surround myself with people I like (not the kind of ill-mannered clowns you encounter all-too-often at the stadium) seems like a pretty good way to enjoy a ball game.
I know I'll never catch a foul ball from here, or smell the freshly mowed outfield, but it's not all that bad.
And I can drink much better beer at a much cheaper price!
I guess it's all about, prestige?
Went to the Daytona 500 with some friends from work in a large RV and stayed in the infield. You would not believe what goes on there. The actual race in incidental (it was to me at least). Nudity, free booze, free food and FREE SEX!

Leahy convenes hearing on NSABy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | August 19,2013MONTPELIER He might not have anything good to say about Edward Snowden, but Sen. Patrick Leahy continues to assume center stage in the national debate the exiled contractors leaks have fueled.
Vermonts senior senator Friday announced he would convene yet another hearing on the National Security Agencys surveillance programs. Leahys announcement came hours after the Washington Post reported on an NSA audit, supplied by Snowden, that revealed the agency had improperly obtained thousands of private communications.
The revelation prompted some harsh words for the NSA from Leahy, who said the agency has sought to veil from public view elements of a spy program about which U.S. citizens deserve more information.
The American people rely on the intelligence community to provide forthright and complete information so that Congress and the courts can properly conduct oversight, Leahy said in a release. I remain concerned that we are still not getting straightforward answers from the NSA.
As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Leahy has long known about the NSA spying programs that the American public has only recently become aware of. While Leahy has said he thinks Snowden was wrong to release the information, he is using the outrage those leaks have provoked to push for heightened checks on the NSAs missions.
Using advanced surveillance technologies in secret demands close oversight and appropriate checks and balances, and the American people deserve no less than that, Leahy said Friday.
Last year, Leahy tried to increase oversight of the NSA, and the secret court that oversees it, by requiring an audit from the inspector general and shorter expiration dates on FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance) Court allowances. In the wake of the Snowden leaks, Leahy has renewed efforts to pass those provisions.
Now I think its going to have a good chance, so Im going to go back and try again, Leahy said during a Montpelier press conference in late June. Id like to have at least a broader reporting of what goes before the FISA Court.
Leahy said his push for greater transparency is driven in part by his awareness of what it is government agencies have deemed necessary to classify.
Im trying to be careful what I say, because I know all these programs and I know all the classified parts of them, Leahy said. But I also know theres a lot of whats classified that could easily be made public without damaging our security.

We will keep you updated on what we are doing, what we are thinking and to stimulate debate on key policy issues—we want to hear your views. Learn about other ways to contact us at T4T connect. Our aim is to ensure that tomorrow's lawyers can meet the standards expected of skilled legal professionals. Our policy statement Training for Tomorrow provides more detail on our approach. We aim to achieve this by looking at a number of key themes: A competence statement for solicitors In April 2015 we published a Statement of Solicitor Competence which sets out what solicitors need to be able to do to perform their role effectively and which provides consumers of legal services with a clear indication of what they can expect from their solicitor. Read more A new approach to qualification We are reviewing our approach to qualification to align it to the Statement of Solicitor Competence, Statement of Legal Knowledge and Threshold Standard. Our proposals focus on assuring consistent and comparable high quality standards at the point of admission across the different ways of qualifying as solicitor. Read more Continuing competence Our role is to make sure that the solicitors and organisations we regulate are competent to deliver quality and ethical legal services. We have introduced a new approach to ensure that the skills and knowledge of solicitors remains up to date and they deliver a quality service. We have produced a tool kit that explains this approach and supports solicitors and organisations with implementation. Read more A new regulatory framework Our current regulatory framework prescribes the stages of qualification and the structures that training providers must have in place. We have made a number of changes to introduce more flexibility and still ensure high standards. Read more

Hayden Fry once said that "the sun don't shine on the same old dog every day."
The sun certainly wasn't shining at Kinnick Stadium Saturday, and Iowa played like a dog in the night game, losing 38-14 to Penn State.
I've said this before– I'm not a big fan of night games at Kinnick.
I don't mind watching bowl games at night, but when I get up at 6 a.m., bake some cherry cobbler and have the van loaded at 9, then have to wait 10 hours until kickoff…it's a real long day.
The first thing that jumps out about the Hawkeye women's basketball team is consistency.
The last five years, Lisa Bluder's teams have won 21, 21 20, 22 and 19 games. They've also finished in the top half of the Big Ten, were Co-Big Ten champs in 2007-08 and made it to the NCAA tournament all five years.
One of the best things Lisa Bluder and her coaching staff do is develop great leaders and this team has three seniors that will lead the Hawks.
You start with Morgan Johnson, a 6-5 center who coach Bluder says is one of the best centers in the country.

The pop queen staged a mock crucifixion in a stadium a mile away from Vatican City, ignoring accusations of blasphemy by the Catholic Church, and even inviting Pope Benedict to come and watch.
Madonna has staged a mock-crucifixion in the Italian capital, ignoring a storm of protest and accusations of blasphemy from the Roman Catholic Church.
In a sold-out stadium just a mile from Vatican City, the lapsed-Catholic diva wore a fake crown of thorns as she was raised on a glittery cross during the Rome stop of her worldwide "Confessions Tour".
The Vatican had accused her of blasphemy and provocation for even considering staging the sham crucifixion on its doorstep, anger Madonna further enflamed prior to the show by inviting Pope Benedict to come and watch.

Since May 31, 1998
It is a narrative that is being pushed by our current president, that Im doing poorly because youre doing well, she said. That has never been the American narrative. Ours has never been a narrative of aggrievement and ours has never been a narrative of entitlement. It is time for all of us, in any way we can, to mobilize, get our act together, and storm Washington D.C. Condoleezza Rice
"Well, yeah, I mean, to say I was in danger was an understatement. The book starts out with me in federal jail. We had a federal judge delete my videotapes and then charge me with a crime I didn't commit. I was confined to my state where I live, New Jersey, for three years, three and a half years. The government would not let me travel without permission from a US attorney, a federal judge, and a probation officer, for a misdemeanor crime which I would argue I didn't even commit. And I was audited once a month. I had to submit cash inflows and outflows to federal agents. When I would release an investigation, they'd show up at my parents' house and ask my father, "What's your son doing? What's he doing next?" We have faced the fire. And I know that they are politicizing the First Amendment. I see the Department of Justice protecting the guy who bugged McConnell and calling him a journalist, and it is this politicizing of the First Amendment which threatens us. Not just me, but everyone, all Americans, because if we lose this, if we lose the First Amendment, it's over. And we have been on the front lines, and that's what my story is about. It's about surviving them, and overcoming their obstacles and continuing to make a difference, despite everything they've thrown at us." James O'Keefe
Breakthrough: Our Guerilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy by James O'Keefe
wikipedia on mass killings by communists: According to Rudolph Joseph Rummel, the killings done by communist regimes can be explained with the marriage between absolute power and an absolutist ideology Marxism.[25] "Of all religions, secular and otherwise," Rummel positions Marxism as "by far the bloodiest bloodier than the Catholic Inquisition, the various Catholic crusades, and the Thirty Years War between Catholics and Protestants. In practice, Marxism has meant bloody terrorism, deadly purges, lethal prison camps and murderous forced labor, fatal deportations, man-made famines, extrajudicial executions and fraudulent show trials, outright mass murder and genocide."[26] He writes that in practice the Marxists saw the construction of their utopia as "a war on poverty, exploitation, imperialism and inequality and, as in a real war, noncombatants would unfortunately get caught in the battle. There would be necessary enemy casualties: the clergy, bourgeoisie, capitalists, 'wreckers', intellectuals, counterrevolutionaries, rightists, tyrants, the rich and landlords. As in a war, millions might die, but these deaths would be justified by the end, as in the defeat of Hitler in World War II. To the ruling Marxists, the goal of a communist utopia was enough to justify all the deaths."[26] Eric D. Weitz says that the mass killing in communist states are a natural consequence of the failure of the rule of law, seen commonly during periods of social upheaval in the 20th century. For both communist and non-communist mass killings, "genocides occurred at moments of extreme social crisis, often generated by the very policies of the regimes."[38] They are not inevitable but are political decisions.[38] Stephen Hicks of Rockford College ascribes the violence characteristic of twentieth-century socialist rule to these collectivist regimes' abandonment of protections of civil rights and rejection of the values of civil society. Hicks writes that whereas "in practice every liberal capitalist country has a solid record for being humane, for by and large respecting rights and freedoms, and for making it possible for people to put together fruitful and meaningful lives", in socialism "practice has time and again proved itself more brutal than the worst dictatorships prior to the twentieth century. Each socialist regime has collapsed into dictatorship and begun killing people on a huge scale."[39] The Black Book of Communism, a set of academic essays on mass killings under Communist regimes, details "'crimes, terror, and repression' from Russia in 1917 to Afghanistan in 1989".[40][not in citation given][41] Courtois claims an association between communism and criminality"Communist regimes ... turned mass crime into a full-blown system of government"[42]and says that this criminality lies at the level of ideology rather than state practice.[43] Benjamin Valentino writes that mass killings strategies are chosen by Communists to economically dispossess large numbers of people.[44] "Social transformations of this speed and magnitude have been associated with mass killing for two primary reasons. First, the massive social dislocations produced by such changes have often led to economic collapse, epidemics, and, most important, widespread famines. ... The second reason that communist regimes bent on the radical transformation of society have been linked to mass killing is that the revolutionary changes they have pursued have clashed inexorably with the fundamental interests of large segments of their populations. Few people have proved willing to accept such far-reaching sacrifices without intense levels of coersion.
Reverend Alan Kershaw poignantly states, jazz played with a feeling and inspiration seems to me more truly an act of worship than singing some of the religious songs I learned back in Sunday School life is so big and wide and deep that you just have to go beyond whats superficial, and banal, and whats phony. Faith rises above the streets, above the slime and the suffering men, to the source of goodness Himself. In this sense, jazz becomes a glorious anthem of praise.
In truth there is no secular/sacred division in this world: only the one world in which God is fully alive and present! You see, God really wants us to be jazzed, totally tuned in and turned on to life, and enjoy the ride! I have often imagined God asking us Christians, Why do you spend all your time groveling? Why such a sour face and sad countenance? Wake up, smell the coffee, and start looking around at all that I have created for you to enjoy! Indeed, the whole earth is full of His glory and presence! His presence is everywhere and in everything we need only to open our eyes to see it and enjoy it! David Arivett
