A single terminal detection system of the beam variety is provided with polarizing filters to sense "near-field" problems. One filter polarizes radiation reflected back to the transceiver component and a second filter, positioned within the transceiver, polarizes radiation before it is incident upon one of two radiation detectors. Circuitry, operatively coupled to the detectors, actuates an alarm in the event either an alarm condition or a near-field problem exists.
1. A detection system comprising:
(a) means for transmitting radiant energy through a region under surveillance;
(b) means for polarizing said energy in one dimension;
(c) reflecting means for redirecting radiant energy transmitted by said transmitting means;
(d) means for receiving polarized radiant energy upon being redirected by said reflecting means, said receiving means being positioned proximate said transmitting means and comprising first and second radiation- sensitive transducer means, each being positioned to be irradiated by said polarized energy and being adapted to produce an electric signal proportional to the irradiation received thereby;
(e) filter means for polarizing radiant energy in a dimension perpendicular to said one dimension, said filter means being positioned in the optical path between said transmitting means and said first transducer means; and
(f) circuit means operatively coupled to said first and second transducers for providing an alarm signal in the event both transducers produce electric signals, or in the event neither transducer produces an electric signal.
2. The detection system according to claim 1 wherein said circuit means functions further to provide an alarm signal in the event that only said first transducer produces an electric signal.
3. The detection system according to claim 1 wherein said transmitting and receiving means share a common housing.
This invention relates to improvements in detection systems of the beam variety, and more particularly, to apparatus for solving the so-called "near-field" problem which characterize such systems.
Single-terminal, beam-type, detection systems, such as intruder detection systems, typically comprise a transceiver unit which transmits a beam of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible, infrared or microwave radiation) through a space in which a condition to be sensed is anticipated, and detects the intensity of the beam upon being reflected by a remotely positioned retroreflector. Movement of an intruder through the beam usually results in a sudden reduction or drop-out in the intensity of the received beam. This condition is sensed by conventional threshold-sensing circuitry, and an indication, such as an alarm, is given.
In installing detection systems of the type described above, it is common to set the threshold of the alarm-actuating circuitry at a relatively high level. Typically, the threshold is set at such a level that an alarm will not be sounded unless the intensity of the reflected beam drops to a relatively small percentage of its original intensity, such as, for example, 25% of its original intensity. Such a high margin of error is often necessary to prevent the effects of air turbulence and shimmer produced by thermal gradients between the transceiver unit and the remotely spaced retroreflector from activating the alarm.
Heretofore, intrusion detection systems of the type described above have, under certain circumstances, been unable to detect the movement of an intruder through the beam. For instance, if the intruder crosses the transmitted beam at a location in close proximity to the transceiver, he may reflect sufficient energy back to the transceiver to prevent the alarm-activating threshold from being reached. Whenever the intruder's presence in the beam fails to cause the reflected radiation level at the transceiver to drop below the threshold required for alarm actuation, the system will not detect the intruder's presence. This problem, of course, does not arise when the intruder is substantially removed from the transceiver since, regardless of his reflectivity, he would be incapable of reflecting sufficient radiation back to the receiver as to prevent alarm activation. The severity of this "near-field" problem increases as the intruder's reflectivity increases, as the aforementioned margin of error of the detection system increases, and as the point at which the intruder crosses the beam approaches the transceiver unit.
Another type of near-field problem which adversely effects the performance of intrusion detection systems of the above type is one which results from the use of a poorly collimated beam of radiation. Because safety regulations and other factors often prevent the use of the well-collimated beams of radiation produced by lasers and masers, conventional optical elements and wave guides must be used to control the directionality of the transmitted beam. Unfortunately, such devices allow the transmitted beam to gradually increase in diameter and thereby allow the beam to impinge upon objects between the transceiver and the retroreflector. Thus, it may be appreciated that in installing such systems, care must be taken in aiming the beam of radiation to avoid having radiation impinge upon objects of relatively high reflectivity located in relatively close proximity to the transceiver unit. If the beam strikes a reflective object in close proximity to the transceiver, such object may reflect more radiation back to the receiver than does the remotely spaced reflector, and a total drop-out in return signal from the reflector may not cause the alarm threshold to be reached.
To solve the above-identified near-field problems, it has been common to minimize the field of view of the receiver optics and to deliberately misalign the transmitter and receiver optics so that the reflector is just inside the field of view of the receiver. By this arrangement, radiation reflected by near-field objects will strike the receiver at such an oblique angle as to be outside its field of view. This technique works well in systems in which there is a rigid connection between the transmitter and receiver optics whereby the respective fields of view can be set at the factory. However, new competitive designs often require that the transmitter and receiver optics be independently pointable. This design results in greater flexibility in installations, and less expensive design and fabrication. In installing such systems, it is common for the installer to align the components for maximum signal return. As may be appreciated, such an alignment will not necessarily minimize near-field problems.
In single-terminal photoelectric detection systems having independent transmitter and receiver optics, it is possible to reduce the effects of near-field objects by physically separating such optics. The drawbacks of this approach are twofold. First, the appearance of the system, as well as the packaging thereof, becomes awkward. Secondly, widely spaced optics will not allow operation from a reflector at short range. Over a short range, the spreading of the beam from conventional reflectors may be so small that the return beam may not irradiate the receiver.
According to the present invention, the aforementioned near-field problems of the prior art single terminal, beam-type detection systems are overcome through the use of a combination of polarizing optics, a receiver having a pair of spaced detectors and certain logic circuitry. In the detection system of the invention, a polarizing filter is positioned adjacent the remotely spaced retroreflector to polarize, in one dimension, radiation returning to the receiver. The receiver comprises a pair of detectors which are positioned to be irradiated by the polarized radiation returning from the reflector. A second polarizing filter is positioned in front of one of such detectors. This second filter acts to polarize radiation in a direction perpendicular to that in which the polarized radiation from the retroreflector is polarized. Logic circuitry is provided for providing an indication signal in the event neither detector is irradiated, indicating the presence of an intruder in the beam, and in the event both detectors are irradiated, indicating the existence of a near-field problem of the types described above.
The objects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent to those skilled in the art from the ensuing detailed description of preferred embodiments, reference being made to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a photoelectric detection system according to a preferred embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a truth table; and
FIG. 3 is an electrical schematic of a preferred logic circuit, having the truth table depicted in FIG. 2.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a single terminal photoelectric detection system embodying the invention is shown schematically as comprising a transceiver T which includes a source S of electromagnetic radiation, and a lens L1 for collimating such radiation to form a relatively narrow beam B. For the sake of illustration, source S will be described as one which emits in the visible portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum. It will be understood, however, that the invention is not wavelength dependent and has equal utility in microwave and infrared detection systems as well.
Collimated light from source S is directed through a region under surveillance to a retroreflector R, such as a corner cube or delineator. The latter serves to return incident source light toward the source. Positioned in front of retroreflector R is a polarizing filter F1 which serves to polarize light transmitted thereby in one direction, for instance, the vertical direction. The fact that the light from the source makes two passes through filter F1 has no effect on the polarization of the light; however, it does reduce the intensity of the light. To minimize light losses, filter F1 can be arranged to cover only one-half of the retroreflector. It should be recognized that the optical trace in FIG. 1 is only intended to illustrate the operation of the system. For most applications, the retroreflector will be spaced so far from the light source that the entire retroreflector will be illuminated and the return beam will spread to the extent that it will cover the entire transceiver. Thus, it would make no difference which half of the retroreflector were covered by the polarizing filter. In one case, the light would be polarized before striking the retroreflector, and in the other case, light would be polarized after striking the retroreflector.
Transceiver T further comprises a pair of light sensitive detectors D1 and D2 which may comprise, for instance, photodiodes. Polarized light from the retroreflector is focused on these detectors by lens L2. A beam splitter B serves to redirect approximately 50% of the received light energy toward detector D2. A second polarizing filter F2 is positioned in front of detector D2. Filter D2 is so oriented as to polarize light in a direction perpendicular to that in which filter F1 polarizes light. The result is that substantially no light is incident upon detector D2 under normal operating conditions.
Under normal operating conditions, i.e. a non-obstructed beam, the vertically polarized light from the retroreflector will illuminate only detector D1. Under this condition, no alarm should be given. When the light beam is obstructed, such as by an intruder's presence, neither detector will be illuminated, and an alarm should be given. When a near-field problem of either of the aforementioned types exists (i.e. an object of relatively high reflectivity intercepts the beam at a point relatively close to the transceiver, or a stationary object positioned in the beam reflects so much light back to the transceiver that a complete drop-out in the light reflected from the retroreflector would go undetected), both detectors will be illuminated because the light reflected by either the moving or stationary object will be unpolarized. Here again, an alarm should be given to either indicate that the beam has been intercepted, or to alert the system installer that the beam is not optionally directed. When detector D2 provides an output signal and detector D1 does not, an alarm should be given to alert the installer that detector D1 is probably not operational. A truth table for the system is provided in FIG. 2. The words "yes" and "no" refer to the presence or absence, respectively, of an output signal from the detectors D1 and D2.
Referring to FIG. 3, preferred circuitry for satisfying the truth table of FIG. 2 is illustrated schematically. As shown, the outputs of two photodiodes P1, P2 serve as the inputs to a conventional differential amplifier A. Resistors R1 and R2 are detector load resistors, and resistor R3 is a feedback resistor which provides positive feedback causing the amplifier output to remain high (in terms of voltage) except when P1 is conducting and P2 is not. For most applications, the resistance of R3 is much larger than R1 or R2. The combination of R2 and R3 sets the threshold which the signal through P1 must exceed in order to produce a non-alarming condition (i.e. the first condition in the truth table of FIG. 2).
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Fantasia Barrino to Haters: I'm Back!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Take notice, haters: Fantasia Barrino is back!
The former American Idol champion, who swears she really was trying to commit suicide a few weeks ago, hasn't just recovered in time to give multiple interviews on the overdose days before the release of her new album.
She also feels good enough to perform an impromptu concert for fans in Las Vegas.
That's exactly what happened Friday night at the Palms Hotel, as Fantasia surprised attendees at Rain nightclub and took to the stage. She announced to the crowd:
"They thought I was finished, they thought I was done. I would never ever stop, I don't care what no one says."Fantasia proceeded to sing "Bittersweet," along with covers of Prince's "Purple Rain" and Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good." She also referenced her recent troubles and added a message:
"I was in the hospital, but now I bounce back. Don't ever let your haters stop you. Don't ever let them stop your destiny."
But will Fantasia's condition put a stop to her publicity efforts? A new report states she's pregnant with Antwaun Cook's child.
We'll keep fans updated on that story as news breaks. For now, click below to enlarge pictures of Fantasia performing in Vegas:
[Photos: Splash News]
FANTASIA, She's back and with such a beautiful voice please don't mess this up just hang in there. Try to work as much as you can to make things posssible for yourself. GOD, gave you a singing voice so use it. Good Luck on your future.
People who attempt to commit suicide while pregnant with a married celebrity's 'love child' baby have serious issues. Generally, people contemplate harming themselves in lesser ways first, so to get to the point of where she was takes time. This wasn't just a 'I had one bad day' thing. People don't commit suicide on a limb. They commit suicide because bad thoughts and feelings have festered in their mind and they can't find any other way out. So, with such serious issues, one does not recover so quickly. She was in the hospital for what, 2 days? And she basically immediately began doing interviews, promoting her album, and surprising fans with the performance mentioned in this article. This is not an overnight problem, so a legitimate overnight solution is unrealistic. I, like many, am sceptical of this whole situation. But every possible avenue or reason for doing this is horrible. None is any less horrible than any others.
Great way to get media coverage prior to a CD release that no one would care about otherwise, no?
can this beyotch get any more ghetto?
Fantasia keep the faith and don't focus too much on what people think of you, but remain concerned with what God wants for you and focus on the gift that he has blessed you with. Whatever mistakes you may have made if you ask for forgiveness from him you shall receive. You are a believer and even if you are in the world system musically you need to remain in God's system spiritually. The songs that I've heard thus far on your new CD are awesome keep up the good work. Love you much,

Weekly Photo Challenge: Cover Art
Weekly Photo Challenge is COVER ART
Here is the image I would choose to put on the cover of a book. Because it makes me wonder.
The title of the hypothetical book is
From the Passenger Window
Polish Hill Skateboard Spot
When I saw what I thought was a wading pool filled with graffiti, I thought I'd return another day and photograph it.
Sunday after coffee, Steve and I drove over to the park in Polish HIll and as I walked closer, I realized it was NOT a wading pool that was decorated with urban art but a place for kids to skateboard.
Here's a list of skateboarding terms and info about the physics of it but not sure if I am properly labeling this pit a half- pipe or not.
Alas, not a skateboarder in sight on Sunday morning so no action shots.
just few satellite dishes for reception
What We Lose When They Raze this Entire Block
The facades were to be restored and preserved but looks like they're slated for the wrecking ball.
Demolition not preservation.
What happened to the Historic Commission plan to preserve the facades?
We've seen lots of development lately and that's not all bad but there sure are a lot of BOXES going up and the photographs show what we will lose when they raze this entire block.
East Liberty PA. Penn Avenue. The same block as Zeke's Cafe with the super coffee beans.
It's always expensive to restore, true. But what a loss of character for the city. Lester Betsy Ross Spinets were popular instruments.
Okay I can see this former PNC bank building now empty going but what about the character and history of the rest of the buildings?
Nicholas C. Ridge Free Library on Friendship Avenue
Right across from the hornet nest is one of the free standing libraries I've read about. Right in someone's front yard.
We walked over and opened the glass door. Beautiful craftsmanship and the wood unweathered.
Turns out it was installed just this June.
We didn't take a book but it was a nice find. And now we know where we can go to get a book, twenty four hours a day.
The plaque said Nicholas C Ridge Free Library and if you click on the link you can read the story.
The light was waning but took a few shots.
A City Hornet Returns to Nest at S. Evaline and Friendship Avenue
After dinner Steve said he wanted to go to Bloomfield/ Friendship neighborhood and show me an incredible nest, alive with hornets coming in and out. Perhaps an expert will be able to identify what type of hornet they are by the nest structure but after researching them when we got home tonight, I wish I had the telephoto lens and didn't get quite as close with my 50mm fixed lens. I read about how they can sting multiple times and can be very dangerous to animals and humans. Hope no one decides to disturb this nest but it is so low to the sidewalk, hanging right over the middle, near a PAT bus stop.
People walk under it all day long and it 's fairly well camouflaged by the tree leaves. It seems the color of the church stones.
from the other side you can see the nest entrance
Unsuspecting woman approaching the sidewalk where the hornet nest hangs.
Grateful for Traffic Backup
This post inspired by fellow blogger Colline – Wednesdays she publishes a "grateful post".
Last year at school in the final staff meeting, I was awarded the Most Optimistic Award. I found the little plastic trophy and happy dancing apple in my school cupboard yesterday afternoon and took it out and placed it on my desk. A reminder to remain optimistic,
It's a new year so don't want to rest on my laurels, though.
HA! (Just this morning my sister was remembering how dad would say that when he wrote to us)
Would be cool to be a repeat for this new school year, I thought to myself and laughed at myself. A good plan.
Last June Selfie. An unexpected award voted by my colleagues- Most Optimistic
On my way home this afternoon, a different route, there's a bridge out. What a mess.
It means everyone sits and sits, winds around the corner like snails, waiting to get a quick left turn, the arrow light. It's a real clog.
I first saw the rainbow on the straightaway and you can see it's photographed through a tinted windshield.
But then I had to inch up.
What a glorious rainbow.
Were there a parking lot to pull into, I would have done so and gotten the end of the rainbow as it arched into the Allegheny River.
Back in my car since school started, driving around the city all over the place.
Opportunities to see things I wouldn't have seen if I were stretched in my hammock on the front porch, sipping a lemonade, reading a book, or knitting for winter.
Today I was grateful for the traffic standstill. Got to catch a rainbow. Thanks, Colline. For more posts on Colline's Gratitude Project, click here.
Uh-oh, can't see it between the wires as I did when I looked with my eye Interesting wires intersecting.
It gets better and the traffic winds around the bend.
And the other half of the rainbow as I made my way in the traffic
Back to School Silhouettes on my Drive to School
Silhouettes challenge was August 15th.
But look what I found this morning on the way to school. (And yes, I pulled to the side of the road)
I was behind a workman's truck and saw the silhouette.
Pulled over to the curb, mindful of the time, knew I could wait a minute. Parking brake on, the hill's steep.
The school bus
and then two students walking to our high school.
Turning onto Brownsville Road
School bus coming down the hill
I was hoping for some separation between the two but not this morning.
Ford Explorer Swallowed by Vines
Centre Avenue on the way home from school. The lush green growth of summer.
I turned around after I'd passed it by,
pulled over to the curb, waited until the rush hour cars zipped past.
The reflection on the windshield was so bright, the atmosphere muggy, a bit of haze.
When Flat Ruthie was traveling courtesy of friend Shuey, she learned the origin of Kudzu and how it can grow a foot in a day.
The first photo with the red parking sign seems better but why I shot it so close to the edge of the frame is beyond me and I did it just the once.
Car and Train
Oh, I've seen car and I've seen train…….
Columbus, Ohio- Saturday afternoon. Shot from the second floor of the parking garage on our way to the car show.d
A sliver of a city scene. A bit of sunlight. Shapes and lines. A car driving down the middle of the road.
I went and looked at all my blog posts tagged transportation and I 've shot a lot of cars, trains, buses, motorcycles, taxis and trucks.
Pick a lane. Is this car over the double line or what? Maybe they are looking at the train and not noticing or they are planning to pass the cars lined up, waiting to get into the garage.

A handshake agreement is nothing. There are ways out of a NHL contract as well ... see Bergfors. At the time he left, there was no agreement in place between the KHL and NHL governing the transfer of players or preventing poaching.
The only differences between now and 2008 are that Ufa had clear warning that Radulov was preparing to run and there are agreements in place between the leagues now. I can't fault Ufa for exercising their rights to protect what they see as their player.
I do find it hilarious how many people were ranting how Radulov leaving with a year left was the most egregious thing ever but would now be perfectly content if he came back and did the same thing to Ufa. If it was wrong when he did it to us, it would be just as wrong if he did it to them.

I am using a lot of hashes in my URL for displaying messages and stuff, but I have a problem. It is fine when you click on a conversation to read it:
But, look what happens when the user attaches another hash to the end: (the subject disappears because the JavaScript gets confused)
(Click images to view larger versions)
How can I remove that second hash if there is one? I did this in Gmail before and it automatically removed them. So, how can I do this with my system? Here's my hash code:
if (window.location.hash) {
var messageID = window.location.hash.replace('#!/message/', '');
var msgSubject = $('#subject_' + messageID).text();
//the below code checks if conversation exists
$.get('tools.php?type=id_check&id=' + messageID, function(data) {
if (data == 'true') {
setTimeout(function() {
readMessage(messageID, msgSubject);
}, 200);
else {
alertBox('The requested conversation does not exist.', 2500);
window.location = '#';
Thanks in advance!

Current industry sensation M.I.A. has hardly been missing in action the past few months, with her hit single, Paper Planes, hitting the Billboard Top 10. Recognizing her growing popularity, her label, Interscope, wisely decided to re-release her successful sophomore set, Kala, featuring a remix of Boyz with none other than Jay-Z. M.I.A. rhymes nimbly over a jangling beat that she co-produced with Switch, while Hova rants about the corruption of politicians and the need for Americans to vote for Obama. The combination of this budding international star and mainstream music mogul proves to be a powerful one, and this record will likely catch tons of spins at radio as a result. Watch for Kala's re-release to hit stores and iTunes soon on Election Day, November 4.

Frederick Douglass was born in a slave shack in Talbot County, Maryland, in either 1817 (his guess) or 1818 (a date settled on later by historians). He went on to become a distinquished statesman, orator, and abolitionist leader known for his inspiring speeches and writings in support of social justice. Douglass also had fine penmanship: he wrote swiftly and boldly in a handsome, somewhat condensed cursive.* Douglass Pen is modeled chiefly after one of his written speeches recounting John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in 1859.

Fra Joseph - No Apologies: 3 OT Prefigurements of Mary
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on Apr 9, 2008
In previous episodes Fra Joseph explained how different people in the Old Testament prefigured Mary. Today he describes how Mary is prefigured by three different things in the Old Testament: Noah's Ark, Jacob's Ladder and the Burning Bush. Noah's ark prefigures Mary's Immaculate Conception and Spiritual Maternity. Jacob's ladder is a sign of Mary's Mediation between heaven and earth. And, the burning bush prefigures how Mary conceived Jesus virginally and remained a virgin even through Jesus' birth. Listen to Fra Joseph as he gives this Biblical evidence of Catholic Marian Dogmas.

SoSlo2 in action
If anyone's interested, I've put up a video of the SoSlo2 flying around my (and my neighbors') front yard(s). This is the second one I've built and I covered it in some kind of stretchy clear plastic that you can buy for moving. It's seems a lot tougher than the Reynolds wrap.
-O Geoffrey
|Jul 31, 2001, 07:43 PM
Amazing video... seems real docile in flight!
I'm NEW at flying... How hard is that thing to fly? And I'm sure that you were just "puttering" around... can it easily gain altitude and fly higher?
What about build time? How long to build it, & difficulty? And, did you go with NIMH 9v battery because of weight savings? Have you experimented with other battery packs?
|Jul 31, 2001, 08:14 PM
Looks real good, Your flying make my plane look good. I did notice it took two tries to get around that tree. If you look real close you can see where the tree moved to get you.
..AZ Chuck
|Jul 31, 2001, 08:34 PM
what he did there was only legal there, and in mississippi...
kewl plane. I am assuming that was on the low end of its potential, though...
|Aug 01, 2001, 10:37 AM
It is very docile. Once you've learned to fly the SoSlo is a piece of cake (I consider myself a begining flyer, it's only my 4th plane). I've said it before, this plane is built to fly,not crash. If you hit something harder than a bush, it's going to shatter.
It easily gains altitude and jumps up higher than the powerlines around my house but then the wind above the trees gets dangerous. Oh yeah, due to it's lightness and undercamber, it handles NO wind. I've gotten it to do a few loops but that's about all I really care to try.
This is the 2nd one I've built so with that experience, I built this one in an evening and a day. (If I had a band saw like Chuck it'd be much quicker).
Very easy to build, just follow the plans.
I went with the 9Volt 'cause it's what I had (and it's cheap... and I've got 3 of em).
I did try to wedge a 270mAH 6 cell pach on my first plane, bt it wouldn't fit and felt really heavy anyway.
Thanks, but I think it's the other way around. That tree is tricky 'cause there is only 2 wingspans worth of space between it and the bushes.
er... I don't get it.
Yeah, I rarely use full throttle.

Ok! I printed the plans for one of these & it doesn't look too tough to build. I'm really new at this. Right now I have a DuskStik about 85% complete, and am hoping to try it this weekend. I heard it flys great! Never flew anything with ailerons though... just rudder & elevator. How do the ailerons work? I mean, what do the sticks on the transmitter do with ailerons? How do you turn, and how do you control up-down? Sorry about the lengthy questions, just need to know I guess. Anyway, I want to build a SloGo2 next.
Tazilon (PS - If anyone can answer my aileron questions it would be really helpful)
(I guess I should have called them elevons?)

Awesome airplane and I already downloaded and printed out the plans. Then it hit me, all I have is a Focus III FM transmitter. So my question is...
I know some mixing is required with flying wings using just elevons, will my transmitter do the trick with the mixing switch enabled or do you have to use a computer radio to have a shot controlling flying wings?
All input is welcome and appreciated.
|Aug 01, 2001, 07:43 PM
I have the ssame radio and it works well.

SoSlo2 is absolutely fantastic. If it only was a little more crash proof - hmmm, maybe I should try making one out of depron...

Thanks 1987,
I guess it's full speed ahead for me then....
Flying wing, here I come!
|Aug 03, 2001, 01:54 AM
O Geoffrey-
I'm curious: how do you manage to land that wonderful little beast? I mean, like without stacking it up? Also, what kinda flight times are you seeing with the RayOVacs?
Nice video, the finger only added to it in my opinion. I don't have a mixing radio and don't want to add any weight with an onboard mixer. But someday...
|Aug 03, 2001, 02:38 AM
Where can I download the plans for the SoSlo2?

Don't worry about the weight of a mixer, it only weighs 2 grams. I have a Wing Thing with a mixer in it. Flies 2x as fast as a SoSlow. It can also take some seriuos weight. My original carried a FMA digi30 for it's first ESC. It weighed nearrly an ounce on its own! It still flew really well.
|Aug 03, 2001, 09:05 AM
1: I just bring it in low, throttle back, and let it plop on my nice soft grass (trust me, cement doesn't work).
2: I bring it in about chest high, throttle back, and catch it by it's nose (very gently, like you'd catch an egg).
I have 3 different rayovacs and they each perform a little different. I have a timer with me when I fly so know how long I've been in the air. With NO full throttle, I regularly tool around for 5:00 to 6:00 minutes. The BEC doesn't kick in, it just won't stay airborne. Actually, at about the 4 minute mark, the throttle has moved all the way to full, it just doesn't go any faster.

Hi, My husband comes down through the Amazeen line through John - Christopher - Joseph - Christopher - William - Clarissa (she married off into the Sterling line). I asked to get this forum started to see if I could get some more info on the Amazeens.
I found a wealth of knowledge at the New Castle, NH library, as the Amazeens were originally from there and the town has transcribed all the vital records onto index cards for people to review. I only took notes on my immediate lineage, though.
I'd be interested in any other Amazeen sources or info you have found - particulary who was the original immigrant and from where.
I have John as dying around 1705/1706 (why was he called John the Greek??) I have Joseph Sr b. 1713 and d 1754. He married Hannah Brown on 1/27/1732. At least that's what the vital records suggest. Everything else I have follows Joseph's son, Christopher's line. You're welcome to it, if you'd like.

I understand not being able to say anything as an employee because your manager tells you to keep quiet about things so they don't loose a big account, I think she did the right thing in speaking up.
