Miniature Modifications
City_DudeOctober 22, 2004
I just added this power feed and digital readout to my miniature mill. Total cost was about $25 for the additions. Next project out of this machine will be an adjustable aperture sight for my Winchester 94.
DRO is an 8" digital caliper, one jaw clamped to the table and one the saddle. Table travel is 8" also so it works out. Only have done the X axis so far. I don't plan anything for the Y but probably will add a dial indicator for the Z. Caliper was about $25 on sale at Harbor Freight.

Philippines repivots defence links to US
Publication Date : 26-03-2014
In his keynote speech at the summit of the Asia-Pacific Council of American Chambers on March 21, Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario did not mince words when he warned:
"Without regard for the rights of its neighbors, China has employed its naval and maritime vessels in a coercive manner, in gross violation of international law, to drive away fishermen from traditional fishing grounds, to intimidate its neighbors, to prevent exploitation of resources, and to prevent us from enforcing our own exclusive economic zones or EEZs.
"China's basic blueprint is to unilaterally impose its so-called nine-dash line as a basis for claiming sovereignty over the whole of the South China Sea. If Beijing succeeds, it will turn one of the most strategically vital international bodies into a Chinese lake."
How would this transformation affect the Philippines?
"Let me tell you what this expansionist Chinese strategy, through its nine-dash line claim, would do to the Philippines and other countries," Del Rosario explained. "We would, in the South China Sea, lose our EEZs and our Continental Shelves which have been provided for our benefit by the Unclos (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea)."
He cited China's other aggressive infractions: "Beijing has accelerated provocations to project its sovereignty into the East China and South China Sea. These include the proclamation of an Air Defense Identification Zone in the East China Sea with the same threat for the South China Sea, the enactment of exclusionary fisheries regulations in the South China Sea, and its continuing presence in our own EEZ."
The Philippines' response to evolving "the complex situation" in the South China Sea "is driven by values that are at the core of our principled foreign policy—freedom, democracy, the rule of law, and the peaceful settlement of disputes"—values that are falling on deaf ears in China which, for generations, have been ruled by authoritarian regimes.
When Del Rosario said the Philippines was seeking "not just any kind of resolution but a just and durable solution, grounded in international law," one can be certain that the Chinese did not understand what he was talking about. It seemed to be a futile dialogue between the deaf and the dumb. In less elegant language, the foreign secretary reduced the Philippines' "principled stance of doing right" to what the President of the republic articulated in five words: "What is ours is ours."
Unfazed by China's refusal to participate in the process of submitting the dispute to arbitration by the United Nations, Del Rosario said in his speech to the chambers of commerce that the Philippines is fully committed to submitting its memorial, or written pleading, to the UN Arbitral Tribunal by March 30 and to pushing the arbitration "to its logical conclusion."
China has warned Vietnam against joining the arbitration case. But according to Reuters, Carl Thayer, a South China Sea expert at the Australian Defense Force Academy in Canberra, said he was told by Vietnamese officials in Hanoi that Vietnam "has so far stood up to [Chinese] pressure and clearly reserves the right to take any step if it feels its national interests are at stake."
This means the Philippines is not alone in pursuing its arbitration option. Also according to Reuters, Manila's five US and British lawyers are finalizing submissions to show that China's "nine-dash line" claim is invalid under the Unclos.
Reuters also quotes the Philippines' lead counsel, Paul Reichler, a Washington-based lawyer with the firm Foley Hoag, as saying that the arbitration tribunal has adopted rules that effectively allow other states to apply to intervene.
On Feb. 6, Reuters reported from Washington that the United States had growing concerns that China's maritime claims in the disputed area "are an effort to gain creeping control of oceans in the Asia-Pacific region."
It reported that in a congressional testimony in February, US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Denny Russel said that China's vague claims had "created uncertainty, insecurity and instability" among its neighbors.
Russel also said that while America does not take sides in disputes, it has an interest in seeing maritime disputes resolved peacefully, and has also stepped up its military presence in the region as part of a strategic "pivot" to Asia.
In his speech, Del Rosario said the United States "must remain an active player in bolstering the regional architecture for stability, security and development."
Through such regional institutions as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Asean Defense Ministers Meeting Plus, Asean Regional Forum, and East Asia Summit, America can continue to play a positive role. This role is bolstered by all elements of American power, including "strong and principled diplomacy," Del Rosario said.
"We welcome Washington's rebalance strategy to refocus and reinforce America's presence in the region. Despite budgetary constraints and the pull of other global commitments, it is here in Asia-Pacific where America must clearly advance its priorities."
These words were spoken as US President Barack Obama prepares to undertake his first visit to the Philippines in April, to cement and deepen Philippine-US relations amid intensifying tensions between China and its smaller and weaker neighbors over disputed maritime claims in the region. Specifically, the two longtime allies in the Asia-Pacific are negotiating an Agreement on Enhanced Defence Cooperation. The agreement would allow expanded US military presence in Philippine bases.

A startup led by two former Zappos employees is hoping to change the way people shop for travel and sports experiences. And its targeting Dallas as the place where it can develop new partnerships.
Kit Sawers made a name for herself with high-profile sporting events such as the College Football Playoffs and Super Bowl XLV.
Jerry Jones' Blue Star Land begins its $700 million, 1,000 acre master planned community in Prosper. And, AT&T told to pony up $40 million after lawyers didn't read a court document, and Bottle Rocket shows off its new digs.
A little of the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino's opulence could soon be coming to Arlington, as the city is reportedly in negotiations with the company to bring an MGM hotel to the area.
The next strategy in San Antonio's playbook has to be NFL recruitment.
While former Carolina Panthers defensive star Greg Hardy has been cleared on criminal charges related to his arrest in a domestic-violence case last year, the NFL has made clear that it's not letting the issue slide just yet.
An affiliated development firm of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Frisco-based Blue Star Land Co., is getting ready to start construction on its 1,000-acre master-planned community, which will bring 1,800 homes to Prosper.
America's universities are racing down a dangerous path on which there will be a tipping point.
Sports View columnist W. Scott Bailey gives readers his weekly observations on the world of sports.
The star running back flew to Philadelphia on Thursday to meet with the rivals of the Dallas Cowboys.
The National Football League shouldn't begin celebrating quite yet on Thursday's jury recommended award, as rumblings of a possible mistrial following a witnesses' interview with ESPN and a tough, all-business judge still needs to sign the judgement in the case.
The jury did not find that the NFL committed fraud, though.
The Cowboys' free agent running back is seeking the best offer and could leave for the Eastern Conference rival. Plus, three female DFW tech executives are named among the industry's 50 most powerful women.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took the stand in a federal courthouse in downtown Dallas on Tuesday to testify about his and the team's possible involvement in the seating fiasco at North Texas' Super Bowl XLV.
Fluor Corp. and Texas Instruments have been recognized among 132 companies honored for their ethical conduct. Plus, Jerry Jones expected in federal court today to testify in Super Bowl ticket lawsuit. And, who's got a Thai-inspired pizza?

Training Programs
The Pasadena Pacers is the oldest running club in the San Gabriel Valley. In 1996, we assembled a group of 35 non-runners and trained for the LA Marathon. Since then, we have introduced over a thousand people to running and have trained for countless events.
While the Pacers began as a fitness initiative, we quickly realized how much people appreciate the social benefits of a club. Simply put, we are a group of people from different backgrounds who are drawn together by running. Think about it: When you leave your car wearing only your running gear, you shed the trappings that identify you with your "normal" life. In other words, the boundaries that can separate you from your fellow man are removed, creating a non-threatening environment where it is easy to get to know others. Many people who run with the Pacers make the comment, "This is the friendliest group of people!" And they are correct.
Four axioms that guide our program will help you to avoid injury and add joy to your personal journey. They are:
• Gradually increasing difficulty;
• Working out well below your ability level;
• Training with a group; and
• Raising the spirits of others in a motivating, positive environment.
With these principles in mind, we have developed several training programs to help you reach your goal—whether that means crossing the finish line in an upcoming race or just adopting a healthier lifestyle.
If you are new to running or have become de-conditioned due to low mileage or a hiatus, we recommend that you consider the slow, base-training approach. By progressing through the Pre-Conditioners and 10-Mile Challenge programs, you will establish a solid base before you segue to our Half Marathon, 20-Mile Challenge, or Full Marathon training programs, should you desire.
Team Lemon is Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation's national athletic program, inviting all athletes to make a difference in the lives of those affected by childhood cancer.

About "The Right To Bear Arms" by Terry Citizen
The Right To Bear Arms
Design by Terry Citizen
this is an old design, the old one was awesome. this one, not so much.
hahaha, VERY FUNNY!!!!!
Also family guy'd
okay. so I wish they'd fix the whole first comment thing.
I admit it's not the most original concept (then again so aren't alot of threadless submissions that have been printed in the past) and yes, I know of the bustedtees version, which I discovered after starting this one.
Still I had fun illustrating this and I thought, why not. I like the expression and I'm not really that fond of the bustedtees apporach anyway.
Anyway, doesn't look like the receiption has been great. I'm not going to apologize for my design because I still think it is good (even if it has been done) and works.
So if nothing else it's a learning curve.
Thanx to those who were at least constructive in their criticism, the rest can suck it.
At least I thought it was great. Too bad it got dropped.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed wide receiver Freddie Martino from their practice squad to the active roster.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Quarterback Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons have improved their red zone efficiency, statistically speaking, from last year.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The Atlanta Falcons had everything in place to end their woes away from home.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - New York defensive coordinator Perry Fewell got the attention of the Giants earlier this week with a simple statement heading into the game with the Atlanta Falcons.
Osi Umenyiora still goes online to play video games against his buddy Victor Cruz.
When the Atlanta Falcons returned to practice Wednesday, it looked a bit like training camp.
The Atlanta Falcons are facing a dramatic overhaul on their offensive line after announcing Tuesday that injuries have ended the seasons for center Joe Hawley and right tackle Lamar Holmes.
FLOWERY BRANCH - The Falcons' current stretch of road games would be a challenge even under ideal circumstances.
MINNEAPOLIS - Teddy Bridgewater got hurt before he could finish a fine first NFL start.
MINNEAPOLIS - A little more than six years ago, Matt Ryan made his NFL debut.
These days, the game looks so much slower to Julio Jones.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Matt Ryan has received plenty of accolades for his mammoth passing numbers in the opening month of the season. Another came Wednesday, when the Atlanta Falcons quarterback was named NFC offensive player of the week.
The Falcons' defense was handed a new challenge on Monday as players returned from their long weekend: How to contain Teddy Bridgewater.
ATLANTA - Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and high-stepping Devin Hester led the Atlanta Falcons to one of the biggest wins in franchise history.
ATLANTA - The short week came at a good time for the Atlanta Falcons.
ATLANTA - In the midst of two losing seasons, the Atlanta Falcons tried to pump up the noise.
ATLANTA - The Falcons' financially conservative approach to this year's free-agent signings may have been influenced by hopes of keeping star wide receiver Julio Jones from leaving next year.
Jacob Tamme found the bigger offensive role he was looking for in Atlanta, where the Falcons were seeking a veteran tight end a year after the retirement of Tony Gonzalez.

It's All Go For Open Source Events
Open Source events tend to be rather spread out across the year. linux.conf.au starts things off in January, followed by Linux Journal staff favorite Penguicon in May, two of the major yearly conferences in July, the Linux Symposium and O'Reilly's OSCON, the new but integral Linux Plumber's Conference in September, and wrapping it all up, the Linux Congress in October. Added to that, just days from now, is the inaugural LinuxCon and the Geek High Holy Day, Software Freedom Day.
If you've been following along for the past few months, then it will come as little surprise that the date for LinuxCon is closing fast. Beginning this coming Monday, geeks from all corners of geekdom will descend on Portland to learn about Linux straight from the mouths of the masters, including a beardless Bdale Garbee, Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth, and the man himself, Linus Torvalds. They schedule also includes the obligatory sessions and seminars, networking opportunities, discounted certification exams, a Penguin-based bowling tournament fundraiser, and the (melo)dramatic unmasking of the Fake Linuses Torvalds.
For those looking to get in on the fun, there is much that can still be done. Though the Early Bird rate has flown the coop, standard registration is still available for $499, with a 30% discount for Linux Foundation members. (Thats a $50 savings — $150 off the conference price minus the $100 membership fee.) Those pursuing higher education can avail themselves of the $199 student rate, as well. Likewise, those interested in the training courses on the schedule — September 19 - 20 — can still register and receive a 20% discount off the $1099 registration fee.
Before the festivities begin in Portland, however, is the all-important Software Freedom Day, arriving this Sunday, September 20th. Advocates around the world will be spreading the word of the wonders of Open Source with all manner of events, from small local gatherings to nationwide gatherings. One such gathering is the New Zealand celebration, a free celebration convening at the Wellington Convention Centre in Wellington on Sunday from 9:00AM - 5:00PM. Event organizers have planned a festival for all ages, including an introduction to programming and Barcamp for those of primary-school age, sessions for older students on careers in the tech industry and the job-enhancing aspects of Open Source expertise.
The always-popular Install Fest, a staple of SFD celebrations, will be underway, with users having the opportunity to have Open Source software installed on their systems, with expert assistance and advice as well as popular Open Source applications available to take home. Those with a love of code can participate in the SuperHappyDevHouse/One Laptop Per Child/DigitalNZ-sponsored Hackfest, which will also include demonstrations of OLPC systems by the OLPC team. And, of course, what would a gigantic gathering be without vendors — locals using Open Source in their work will be showing off their crafts, gadgetry, and other goods in the Makerspace.
Full details on the event, including the official schedule, are available from the New Zealand Software Freedom Day website. Interested parties can register on the SFD site — though the event is free, organizers need some idea of how much food and space will be needed.
Memories of the event may spark a bit of déjà vu in local residents come January, as Wellington will be home to the 2010 linux.conf.au.

Free registration at the Ohio LinuxFest
As far as I know, the Ohio LinuxFest is the largest free admission open source event. You don't pay to register at your lug so you don't have to pay for this uber-interlug-gathering!
It's All Go For Open Source Events
Woah, WHOA there!
You missed the best Linux conference on the east coast. The Ohio Linux Fest (http://ohiolinux.org) which happens just a few short days away on Sept 25/6/7th. Having been to many many other conferences, where this one stands out is it is a very community driven event. This is great stuff and if you are anywhere near the eastern U.S. you are doing yourself a disservice not to attend!

Playing poker on Linux
First published at:
Linux is always gaining popularity on the desktop. Playing poker on Linux isn't that hard and you've got a few options:
1. Find something web or flash based. Poker Room, Euro Poker and Hollywood Poker are a few examples of sites that offer that.
2. Java is a cross platform SDK. Absolute Poker, Party Poker, Poker Room, and quite a few others offer Java play.
3. Wine. I managed to get my favorite poker site Titan Poker working perfectly in Wine. Here are instructions for debian based systems:
apt-get install wine
wget /setup.exe
wine ./setup.exe
It's that easy! If you get a regsvr32 error during setup, it is safe to ignore it.
Double click 'Titan Poker' which will now have appeared on in ~/Desktop/Titan Poker
It works well, graphic and game quality is the same as Windows, sound also works with the right Wine configuration.
If any online players are reading, I'd personally recommend signing up at Stoxpoker http://www.stoxpoker.com as a fantastic training site.

Honda, where did you get that fantastic mid-fuse wheel?
I gotta have one, and the wing skids!
|Sep 05, 2010, 09:38 PM
Nice review and its my favorite model. Here is an onboard video I took soon after getting mine last year:
|Sep 06, 2010, 11:36 AM
Just got back from maidening the DG-1000 while my son had soccer practice. The jury's still out. It wasn't perfect out of the box. Power was reasonable and climbouts were comfortably 30 degrees or so. With the high thrust line full throttle gives a considerable downward pitch moment on launch and really tames the climbing under throttle you'd expect from a powered glider. It needs a good shove with a decent up angle on launch to avoid pitching into the deck before you can get your fingers on the the elevator stick. I needed a couple of clicks of left rudder and a couple left aileron for straight flight. I also had to put in 6-7 clicks of up elevator on the maiden, but subsequently was able to take that out again after removing the last of the stock nose weights.
Set up according to the manual I found the model very sluggish in the roll axis, bordering on unresponsive actually (and, no, I wasn't trying to do aileron rolls). A couple of times I was giving it full aileron and it continued with wings level for several seconds as if to say "hold yer horses, Dude. I'll get to it in little bit". It really needs rudder and aileron to turn. I found it helpful to think somewhat backwards--turn with the rudder and coordinate with the ailerons. There were a couple buzzards circling overhead at one point and I got a little help from some light lift off and on. It indicated the lift well but was a bit of a hog to control in a thermal turn. It got up as high as I was comfortable with (parkflyer receiver, close to the airport, a nearby club field flying slimers half a mile away) then I was a little nervous about exiting the thermal too aggressively with the model's thin wings. It's certainly not one I would want bail out of lift in a hotliner-style dive from altitude. Turns out the pylon works great as a airbrake in the up position. Ditching the stock aileron y-harness and playing with spoilerons might be helpful there too.
The retracting pylon function was less than perfect too. Even after waiting several seconds after shutting the motor down about half the time the prop didn't stop in the proper position and the pylon failed to fully retract. Sometimes it was impossible to see the failure from the ground unless the prop was completely sideways across the fuse...which happened twice. Now I can see where some of the BEC failures may have come from. That's a full size retract servo operating the pylon. Having that puppy stalled on a failed retraction could really stress the linear BEC.
With the help of the available lift I flew for 30+ minutes from a total of five ~400ft climbouts on a single 1300mAh pack which came back down at 11.56V. There were also several minutes of low power-on cruising during the initial maiden flight. I think I just need to work with it some more. One battery is hardly enough to wring out the plane.

Kendall, your summary matches my experience of several flights except for one thing: my prop appears to center just fine if I remove all throttle for a few (2?) seconds, and then, the stop catches it and the pod retracts fully. Maybe a better way to say it is that the prop appears to windmill lightly, and is then caught properly by the stop before the pod stows.
Have you tried the "auto" function on the ground to see if the stop is working?
Just a thought.

And, maybe use a keychain cam as did the pilot, above, to monitor the pod stowing.
|Sep 07, 2010, 11:48 AM
Flew mine at the beach the last couple of days, one battery pack (1100ma) gave me at least a half dozen climb outs and I must have had over a half hour of flying with just a touch of ridge soaring on a small bluff. This thing flew great even in 15 mph + winds.
She's an awesome little bird!

I just joined the ST Models DG-1000 owners club - What a nice sailplane!
I haven't decided on my computer Tx yet and steering towards the Futaba 6EX 2.4gHz. While learning how to actually fly RC planes with my Radian RTF Dx5e (getting better!), I decided to dive right in on my DG-1000 (segelfliegen) sailplane build and start detailing this with a scale attitude in mind.
The German DG-Flugzeugbau.de website actually encourages RC enthusiasts to use their ref. materials, drawings etc. Great stuff!
I've started a build thread on my blog.
My main focus was to upgrade the overall scale look of the entire plane with attention to the cockpit and design a sticker set with Suisse registration without compromising the flight characteristics too much and leaving the white foam finish as is.

Nice modifications.
May I suggest trying the Hitec Aurora 9?
I have a DX-7, JR X9303 and Aurora 9, and the latter is my hands on favorite.
And, for sailplanes, the programming is outstanding and you can MONITOR the battery on the transmitter display in flight!
That particular Futaba is very limiting and the receivers are quite expensive.
Just my two cents.
|Sep 08, 2010, 04:17 PM
Thanks on the mods, wait until I get the stickers on it I've sized and drawn them up, just need to have them cut and printed. After I shoot photos and they are correct, I'll make any adjustments and have the PDF available.
|Sep 08, 2010, 05:34 PM
Great sticker scheme, Studio RS. From a practical and non scale point of view you need color to the underside of the wings as when thermalling the white becomes hard to see. The DG1000 thermals great.

New Report Examines Trends in College Spending
July 9, 2010
The Delta Cost Project's report, Trends in College Spending 1998-2008: Where Does the Money Come From? Where Does It Go? What Does It Buy?, the third in its series of studies on higher education finance, reveals institutions' greater reliance on tuition revenue during economic downturns and shifts in education-related expenditures.
During the decade, for example, net tuition and fee revenue (the difference between gross revenue and institutionally funded grant aid) at public research universities increased from 17 percent of total operating revenue in FY98 to 21 percent in FY08. At the same time period, state and local appropriations fell from 33 percent to 26 percent.
In addition, institutions spent a smaller share of funds on the direct cost of instruction, a category that consists largely of faculty pay and benefits. On average, instructional costs accounted for 40 percent of the education and general expenditures of private research universities in 2008, down from 42 percent in 1998.
The Web-based Trends in College Spending (TCS) tool is based on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. TCS provide access to information on finance, performance, and enrollments for individual institutions, groups of institutions, or the nation as a whole. The data are presented using six primary "metrics" developed by the Delta Cost Project: enrollment, revenue, expenditures, cost/price/subsidy, performance (based on number of degrees awarded per 100 full-time equivalent students), and spending comparisons (education and related spending and enrollment compared with expenditures).

Mia Quentin has found the sensual adventure she's been waiting for. Seth Chandler—a gorgeous corporate shark in pirate's clothing—is the perfect candidate for the sexy fling she has in mind. She'll act out a few naughty suggestions and indulge her senses...all before the sun goes down. Now, if she can only convince her pirate to drop the noble streak and stop talking about commitment!
Seth refuses to settle for a brief fling, but he can't resist the too-tempting Mia. So he has to lure her into a longer erotic encounter...one that involves days, weeks of sizzling caresses. And if that means using all the seductive powers he has, so be it. Because he's not about to let this ravishing woman get away.
His empty office full of paperwork topped the list. There had to be seventy-five guys and a couple of women in swashbuckling gear sailing into Tampa Bay with him, yet Seth hadn't been able to pawn off today's mission on any of them. Not with his company's name on the line as corporate sponsor of this event.
Damn that lead buccaneer for quitting only two hours before Tampa's annual Gasparilla festival. Now Seth had no choice but to step in and assume the eye patch himself. He'd spent too many years building his company's reputation to have it compromised by any screwups with this very public assignment.
Someone had to abduct a wench. Actually, several festivalgoers would be carried off by the marauding raiders, but the lead pirate at the front of the boat would no doubt be captured on film for the six o'clock news. When the actor hired to play the role had quit, Seth hadn't wanted to hand over the part to just anyone. What if his last-minute fill-in copped a feel in full view of the media? Or what if thestand-in dropped the person he was supposed to be carrying?
Lawsuit alert! Without résumés and references in front of him, Seth wouldn't risk it. He'd strapped on a dagger, stripped out of his shirt, kicked off his Italian loafers and vaulted barefoot aboard the Jose Gaspar at the last minute.
Now, as the ship sailed at the head of a flotilla around Harbour Island toward thousands of waiting festival attendees on shore, Seth wished he hadn't been born so damn responsible. He didn't want to spend his Saturday leering at giggling maidens as part of the festival's entertainment.
Seth scanned the crowds lining the docking area in front of the convention center, searching for appropriate candidates for mock abduction. He dismissed the hordes of tourists braving the mild February weather in string bikinis. The last thing he needed was some racy media photo of himself with a beach babe thrown over his shoulder. He was definitely going for a local - a woman with enough clothes on to ensure he wouldn't look like a sleazeball for touching too much bare skin.
Bad enough he was half-naked. He didn't need the added trouble - or temptation - of a scantily clad woman in his arms.
All he had to do was find a safe woman, maybe a grandmotherly type, who would enjoy the adventure and generate great P.R. for Chandler Enterprises. He'd carry her off to the boat his brother had waiting for him, then treat her to dinner for her trouble. He could bring her back to the city later tonight.
Simple. Piece of cake, in fact, for a man who managed international mergers, could read financial newspapers in a dozen languages and had compiled enough venture capital to support himself and a small army for the rest of their lives.
He slapped his eye patch back down over his brow and clamped his teeth around a blunt dagger as the ship moved into position in front of the partiers on shore.
How much trouble could abducting a wench possibly be?
* * *
Mia Quentin elbowed her way to the front of the string bikini crowd, hoping to catch a peek at the incoming ship full of pirates, her last chance for adventure. Determined to put herself in the path of the first marauding invader she spied, Mia simmered with restless energy and uncharacteristic daring.
Damned if she didn't feel downright dangerous. She tucked a red hibiscus behind her ear and draped long brown hair over her shoulder. She just hoped one of those pirates appreciated a more artistic approach to fashion than a bikini made of dental floss. Mia happened to think her long floral sarong and black silk halter-top were much more evocative than the blatant message sent by miles of naked legs.
Then again, her knowledge of seduction was about as limited as the other women's scanty outfits. She'd been avoiding adventure - and men - for the past three years. Somehow she'd ended up practically celibate in an effort to assure her grandparents she wasn't following in the footsteps of her reckless mother - a woman who'd missed most of Mia's childhood in favor of chasing any surfer skimming past her beach lounger.
But Mia wasn't in her Twin Palms hometown now. She'd carved out a whole week to play in Tampa before she had to get down to business - wheedling a few months' extension from the bank on a mortgage note for the family tourist shop.
For now, Mia had promised herself she would stop living for her family and start living more for herself.
She'd realized in recent months that she'd slowly retreated from the world because she didn't ever want to upset the grandparents she adored. This notion slammed home with a vengeance last week when a vendor had brought some sample wares to the tourist shop. As Mia inverted a cheesy, water-filled pen that made a cartoon guy's pants fall down, it occurred to her that that was as close as she'd come to a titillating experience in too many years.
So this week, she planned to prove to herself she still knew how to have fun, to be adventurous. Once she secured the mortgage extension on the tourist shop, she'd be working double time to make sure the business could really pay it off. So if ever there'd been a time to have fun, the time was now, before she disappeared into a world of work and family obligations again.
And if an opportunity arose this week to see a real man naked, she certainly wouldn't be averse to peeking.
Mia lifted a small pair of opera glasses to her eyes in order to better drool over the wealth of musclebound men aboard the incoming ship. But before she could focus on the testosterone-laden Jose Gaspar, a scratchy voice beside her interrupted.
"You don't stand a chance in that getup, honey." The speaker was a woman at least seventy years old with white hair cut short in a sleek, sophisticated style. She wore a long green beach robe belted at her waist, which she slowly unfastened. "You've got to show a little leg."
On cue, the older woman's terry cloth cover-up fell open, revealing legs that would give Mia's a run for the money. Mia hoped she looked that good in fifty years. On the other hand, she hoped she could hold her own against grandma today.
Because Mia had her heart set on a sexy abduction scenario with a pirate.

Wild and Willing delivers a fabulous one sitting read! Wow! Right from the get-go, this story grabbed me with the steamy fun of a Florida pirate festival, a reluctant studdly pirate, and a determined modern day maiden focused on getting her guy! Mia and Seth make a wonderfully exciting and sympathetic hero and heroine. The secondary romance with Noelle and Brock is a bonus treat! And then there are those delightfully quirky grandparents with their sea-side tourist shop. Readers get more than their money's worth in this seamlessly woven story packed full of fun, steam, and romance. The prolific Ms. Rock delivers a winner, yet again!Was this review helpful?

When the actor quit two hours before the Tampa Bay annual Gasparilla Festival, Seth Chandler reluctantly decides to play the role of pirate captain. Seth knows his company the Gulf Coast Bank subsidiary of Chandler Enterprises is sponsoring the gala and he wants nothing negative to occur on the evening news.
Mia Quentin is visiting the town and the event in search of adventure and romance as she takes a break from her very responsible yet dull life. When the pirates led by Seth begin the abduction of women, Mia screams to gain Seth¿s attention. He dubs her ¿Carmen¿ as he kidnaps her. As Mia and Seth become acquainted, they fall in love, but he struggles to persuade her that they can share a lifetime adventure together.
Fans of torrid contemporary romances will enjoy WILD AND WILLING though Mia seems schizoid as she is assertive with her beloved, but timid with her grandparents and mother. The story line engages the audience form the moment Seth leaps off the pirate ship and never slows down until the final parry between the lead couple. Joanne Rock endows her fans with an exuberant pleasant tale.

Halcon Resources: Will The Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Be The Final Nail In The Coffin? [View article]
Of course, it remains to be seen if HK can "pull a Petrohawk" and finally find a way to be in the right place at the right time. The way new plays are being developed and new technology is making previously forgotten areas into hot ones, there seems to be a lot of opportunity for the HKs of the world that swing for the fences and have the resources to do it more than a few times.
I like HK at $3.50. It may go lower, of course, but probably not much, and it may go higher, of course, and when it does, probably by a lot. That's a reasonable risk/reward scenario for any stock, but especially one with a management team that's been down this road before.Mar 21, 2014. 01:51 PM | 10 Likes |Link to Comment

Apple: It's Panic Time [View article]
Oh yeah, you know she's a Mac user - like every kid at her college, by the time she was a sophomore she was left out of all the new software, apps and other cool stuff because she was one of the few kids who didn't have a Mac notebook. Needless to say dumped her Dell for a Mac, emptying her bank account for it, and has never looked back. Her 25 year-old brother did the same thing when he was in school - used his own money to trade in the Sony we gave him for graduation and upgraded to the Mac. I don't know about the rest of the world, but on most college campuses and for anyone under 35, you either go Apple or go home.
Part 2 of my micro-level story: I got one of the first Samsung S3s and it was the worst phone I've ever had. It had lots of bells and whistles and I sure loved that big screen, but I've never had a worse phone for getting and keeping a signal. Standing side-by-side with any other phone user using the same cell service, they'd have four bars and I'd have 2, or they'd have 2 and I'd have no signal. Everyone I called complained I sounded like I was in a tunnel or underwater. After three trips to Best Buy and one complete replacement to no benefit, their "no lemons" warranty policy kicked in and I picked out a new HTC, which I have loved ever since.
I'm long Apple, having dived in around $560. Hurts right now but I believe in this company and its almost creepy way of insinuating itself into the lives of its users. It's like tech crack, once you're into Apple you'll never get out, and it's viral - from the iPhone to the Mac to iTunes to the iPad.
The virus may be sleeping for now, but like all real viruses it only takes a fresh outbreak to infect another large portion of the population. In the meantime, it's still in people's blood, and they're still adding to their Apple collection of devices. This is just a brief period of dormancy. As noted in comments above, this has happed 3-4 times in the past whenever Apple was in a brief inter-release lull, and each time it led to much rending of garments and gnashing of teeth. It may not be Apple TV this time but it'll be something. Few saw the iPad coming either.Jul 1, 2013. 01:15 PM | 4 Likes |Link to Comment

How many of us are sitting on 20-30% gains from the last few years? And we all know that we're going to have to lock in those gains soon and are more than ready to do it given half a reason. Half a point is half a reason.
How many of us know or at least suspect that this aging bull market is past its expiration date? If it's only 20% of us, what happens when that 20% bail on the first threat of inflation?

Memorial Resource Development IPO Expiration Provides Hot Buying Opportunity [View article]
I recognize this article as being very similar to the one you published a few weeks ago about Parsley Energy (PE). Same concept, same recommendation, same type of company. But that never worked for PE as the underwriters came out with either Hold or Outperform ratings and the stock tumbled 7-8%. Considering that they had every reason to promote that stock, a Hold rating was quite damning, and chased me off the stock for good.
That probably won't happen here. I agree that MRD has a great chance at being a success. Unlike PE, its management, backers and associated companies are all proven winners.Jun 26, 2014. 06:07 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
Quiet Period Expiration For Parsley Energy Offers New Buying Opportunity [View article]
Having said that, I love PE's business plan. Vertical and now horizontal wells into multiple stacked pays in one of the hottest basins in the world - nice! I was all set to dive in until I saw who was running it - and I don't know the young man at all - but a 3rd generation silver-spooner has me on the sidelines. This is patently unfair of me, just as it may be equally unfair to assume that his family DOES give him an edge. We should all be given every opportunity to prove that we're our own man and capable of making it on our own.
And then I read that he started with 100 wells he got from Grampa. After working as an operations tech for Dad. Just exactly how well would he have done in the world if he hadn't had their help, and how much can they help him now? Guess we'll all find out.Jun 6, 2014. 06:01 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

Panic-selling in income producers (I, II) infected the BDC's as well, notably Main Street (MAIN) and Triangle (TCAP), both down more than 10%. Fed meddling seemingly can't hurt their returns, but most names in the popular sector trade well above their net asset values (MAIN is 57% above Sept. 30 NAV after today's decline, TCAP 47%), making them vulnerable to a change in sentiment even if business is doing fine.

Consensus is building that it's a combination of three significant factors: 1) Germany's weakening economy threatens all of Europe's solvency, 2) the election confirms that we'll spend the next four years minmizing our chances of economic recovery from this most-anti business administration, and 3) less than thrilling earnings reports. Germany and the earnings take out tech, earnings and the negative tax implications disrupt MLPs and REITs.
There will be pops when there is consensus on how to raise taxes ("if" was decided November 6th), and particularly if there's any agreement on managing entitlements. Increasing the federal debt limit and pushing back the fiscal cliff will help stabilize people's attitudes, but will it be enough? None of that will make Germany any stronger or improve next quarter's earnings reports, but at least settling one of the three factors should give us a fighting chance.
Until those things come to pass and the impact on the markets is clear, I agree with tampat - stay away for now, let this baby settle. It could be another 2-3 months of steady declines.Nov 14, 2012. 06:34 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

Redirecting heat from a ventless gas fireplace?
We recently installed a Fire Ribbon ventfree gas fireplace insert http://www.sparkfires.com/products/vent-free-3ft . We also have our TV mounted on the wall above our fireplace, but we have huge concerns about the heat coming up from the fireplace. The TV is very hot to the touch.
We are exploring options to redirect the heat so that it doesn't roll up the wall directly to the TV (we don't have a mantel to disrupt the hot air flow).
I don't think we can add a fan to the fireplace insert itself as we don't have any electric running to the fireplace and we don't have access to get behind the fireplace wall as it's stone veneer from floor to ceiling.
And, we'd like to try to avoid having to add any sort of a mantel to the wall, if at all possible. Is there some sort of a fan that could be placed behind the TV to push the hot air back down into the room?
Or maybe there are other options that we haven't thought of? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Your concerns are valid. My husband won't allow a TV to be mounted over the fireplace because of the heat. You should contact the best installer in your area for suggestions. I don't think there is a simple as in inexpensive fix to this problem. Some fireplaces come with a fan to push the air into the room so it won't travel up the wall. Maybe the electrical can be added from the other side of the wall. Good luck.
