Doc from Fort Worth, TX | 5/27/2014 10:09 AM
I bought this wedge to replace my Great Escape wedge. The Great Escape was an excellent club but now that my game has improved I needed more accuracy and it worked perfectly. Can hit flops, pitches, chips, and sand shots very well. Looks great and makes you confident. Excellent choice for low to mid handicappers. Do not recommend for beginners or high handicappers (they need the Great Escape for its forgiveness

I tried it out against the new Titlest Vokey Wedge and picked this over the vokey. Has a nice high launch angle.
Jack Matthews from Charlotte, NC | 2/13/2014 12:35 PM
I bought this wedge because of the variable bounce. My previous wedge had 14* of bounce and worked fine from bunkers. However, tight lies around the green were a problem. This wedge works well from almost any lie.
pat santoro from New York, NY | 1/16/2014 4:31 PM
club looks good, has great feel, makes the ball spin and
has improved my game the last 3 round I used it.

Editor's Picks: What To Do In Miami
ELLE DECORS Senior Editor/Writer Ingrid Abramovitch recently spent a few days in Miami, where she soaked up the sun and visited the citys newest art museum. Here, her favorite places to explore, sleep, eat, chill, and shop
By Ingrid Abramovitch
With its soothingly Zen interior, The Restaurant at Setai—designed by architect Jean-Michel Gathy and decorator Jaya Ibrahim—is easily one of the most beautiful spaces in Miami. With its latest executive chef, Mathias Gervais (a protégé of Joël Robuchon), the Setai has a menu worthy of its surroundings. It's fun to watch the chef's team at work in the restaurant's expansive exhibition kitchen, which is equipped with a Spanish-style plancha used to create such Mediterranean dishes as pan-seared Florida spiny lobster and Gamberoni St. Remo. Or order a Saigon Gimlet and retreat to the Setai's chic courtyard, an oasis of serene pools, square banquettes, and Asian antiques. thesetaihotel.com
For a more casual meal in Miami's Design District, try Harry's Pizzeria (harryspizzeria.tumblr.com) from the team behind Michael's Genuine. The laid-back restaurant has a wood-burning brick hearth that turns out perfectly charred thin-crust pizzas. Order the polenta fries and look out for the "Ingredient Wall" installation designed by local artists' collective Friends With You.

The Cult Classic Returns!!!
One day, it starts raining-and never stops. Global super-storms decimate the planet, eradicating most of mankind. Pockets of survivors gather on mountaintops, watching as the waters climb higher and higher. But as the tides rise, something else is rising, too.
Now, in the midst of an ecological nightmare, the remnants of humanity face a new menace, in a battle that stretches from the rooftops of submerged cities to the mountaintop islands jutting from the sea. What hope does an already-devastated mankind have against this new supernatural adversary.
The old gods are dead. Now is the time of the Earthworm Gods…
Deadite Press is proud to present this Author's Preferred Edition of EARTHWORM GODS, including an all-new, lengthy afterword by the author recounting the novel's inspiration, creation, and history.
One day it started raining-and it never stopped…
So began Brian Keene's EARTHWORM GODS, a novel that straddled the lines between the horror and bizarro genres. Fans have long marveled over that post-apocalyptic landscape-a flooded earth filled with strange and terrifying monsters. Readers returned to that world in EARTHWORM GODS II: DELUGE. Now, it's time for one last trip.
EARTHWORM GODS: SELECTED SCENES FROM THE END OF THE WORLD is a collection of short stories set in the world of EARTHWORM GODS and EARTHWORM GODS II: DELUGE. From the first drop of rain to humanity's last waterlogged stand, these tales chronicle the fall of man against a horrifying, unstoppable evil. And as the waters rise over the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere-brand new monsters surface-along with some familiar old favorites, to wreak havoc on an already devastated mankind.
Deadite Press is proud to present this all-new, first time in paperback edition, including an all-new introduction and new story notes by the author.

Where's Money From Pinkberry For Hartt Frat's Fundraiser?
Music is the message for the Sigma Alpha Iota fraternity at the University of Hartford's Hartt School.
Each year, the the local chaper of the international music fraternity runs a series of smaller fundraisers leading up to the big one in March, the Benefit for Life concert at the school's Lincoln Theater. This year, the Eta Mu chapter's fundraisers benefited the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Somehow, the Pinkberry frozen-yogurt shop at Blue Back Square in West Hartford didn't get the message after Catriona Calo, a general-music-studies major at Hartt, arranged a fundraiser there early last October. The store promised 20 percent of the store's revenue for two hours that day on all sales to customers presenting the fundraiser flyer.
Four months later, Calo still hadn't seen a check.
"I have been to the store many times, made many phone calls to the store," she says, "each time with them simply taking down my name and number and saying, 'We'll call you back'."
Calo didn't know it, but her fraternity's share of sales targeted for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was $65. That's 20 percent of a lot of Green Tea and Salted Caramel and Blood Orange frozen yogurt, but not a particularly productive fundraiser.
"It seems a bit low," says Calo, "but what do I know? It was a fun fundraiser the day of, but all the aftermath made it definitely not worth it."
Calo says she was not promised a specific amount, only the percentage of sales. A Pinkberry corporate representative, she says, requested the fraternity's tax identification number, where to send the check and a copy the flyer it planned to hand out.
"I gave her all the information she requested in a timely manner," says Calo. "A week after the fundraiser, I emailed her again asking how long it would take to receive our money. She replied that it takes about a month. A month went by, and no check."
So Calo emailed Pinkberry again. And again she was asked to provide her fraternity's name, address and tax information.
"I replied the same day with the information," she says. "I waited until after Thanksgiving to contact her again about the money, which had still yet to receive."
That's when Calo was told it would take up to six weeks, perhaps even longer, because of the holidays. In mid-December, just before her school's winter break, Calo visited the store in hopes of getting more information.
She did: The person she had been dealing with, the one overseeing Pinkberry fundraisers, was no longer working for the company. The former employee neglected to ask for a Pinkberry "check request form," which added to the delay. This was only the first of Calo's many return visits to the Pinkberry shop in search of her fundraiser funds.
"They have continually been disorganized, unhelpful and extremely vague with me every time I've contacted them about receiving my check," she says. "I am always directed to this person or that person, which has resulted in many unanswered emails and questions. No one seems to be able to help me, even four months after the fundraiser took place. . . . Ultimately, it is the Leukemia & Lymphoma society that will take a blow from Pinkberry, which is upsetting."
Calo's observations were all but confirmed by Ted Davis, recently appointed chief executive officer of Pinkberry's New England region operation. Davis, who declined to be quoted directly in an interview with The Bottom Line, cited extensive employee turnover and missteps in paying out the fundraiser proceeds.
Calo, in mid-March, visited the Blue Back Square again. This time she picked up a check, which included an additional $100 for her troubles.
"Finally," she says, "this mess is over."
The money is now headed toward the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, courtesy of the Eta Mu chapter of the fraternity at Hartt.
"The aftermath made it definitely not worth it," says Calo. "Even though they gifted us $100 for my troubles, which was a very nice gesture on their part, I wouldn't do the fundraiser again. And I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking to do a fundraiser."Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

According to the Washington Post, the impending initial public offering (IPO) by Facebook, with its expected windfall of cash from investors, might encourage some employees to go looking for housing. But the prospective home buyers are a bit picky. You see, they might not want to live next to someone who works for Google, for example, or any other competitor for that matter.
"You get a Yahoo guy against a Facebook guy against a Zynga guy against an Apple guy against a Google guy, then it's not just about the house," real estate agent Carol Rodoni told the paper. "It's about the egos."
So, how might you go looking for a house that wasn't near a competitor. Well, without violating privacy laws, might you start by see how your friends (...and their friends) are using location-based social media? If people are checking in with Google+ might they be a Google employee versus someone who is a checking in with Facebook Places? If they check in with foursquare does that mean they lean one way or another? What about Tweets with location enabled? Could you mine Tweets that indicate that a neighborhood favors Apple products and thus indicates an enclave of Apple employees, that is, given a proximal location to Cupertino, for example.
Seems like a great opportunity to map neighborhoods by social media preferences. Although mining that kind of "big data" could mean you might need a database appliance. Or maybe someone will come up with a simple solution that we might find in the app store soon? But which app store?
Think about it.

Top Local Tips for Hayes
Mantra Try this resturant if you are into good food in an unusual setting. The exact opposite of all you have ever associated with Indian resturants. Imagine being on the set of Star Trek.Or in a David Bowie video from the 70's. Glass tables and plates. Odd looking blue glass water glasses. Essentially the decor is all white with Orange chairs ( very comfy actually ). A totally OTT chandalier at the entrance. Along one wall was a mainly greyish repeated pattern with canary yellow splashes. I liked it but it was unusual and not very comforting. I can't describe the music easily. Kind of new age but at the same time again not that calming. I think there was a part where a mobile phone ringing was softly repeated many times. What do I know ? Am very out of date. But this was not yer mainstream 'spa' type of music. The front resturant was electric bright but people kept streaming through in groups to the dark and more atmospheric bar at the back.
Good Value Travel Inn are always pretty good value for money, I'd rather pay £50-60 than £130 just for a bed for the night - the only thing that let this one down was the area and the Grapes next door. Handy for a one night stay but I wouldn't want to stay there for leisure purposes or for any longer than a night if I could help it!

Following an overly restrictive meal plan or having a condition that interferes with nutrient absorption can lead to nutrient deficiencies, and some oral diabetes drugs may make the problem worse. Diminished wintertime sun exposure can reduce the skin's production of vitamin D. However, if you're considering taking vitamins or other nutritional supplements, it's important to consult your health-care team beforehand because, in certain cases, supplements can be harmful. A blood test may be necessary to evaluate whether you need or would benefit from a particular vitamin or other supplement.
Some experts recommend reducing your consumption of carbohydrate foods — or at least refined carbohydrates. Addressing a general (not diabetes-oriented) audience, SAD authority Dr. Norman Rosenthal has stated that "limiting carbohydrate-rich foods…can reduce [carbohydrate] cravings, and [help] contain your weight." He explains that some "patients with SAD secrete more insulin in response to a glucose load than nonseasonal controls…light therapy reverses the tendency to oversecrete insulin in response to a glucose load, which may explain why light therapy reduces carbohydrate cravings." He concludes: "If patients with SAD have exaggerated insulin responses to carbohydrate-rich meals…this could trigger cravings for more carbohydrates and on and on." If you feel you may benefit from a lower carbohydrate intake, work with your health-care team to devise a diet that works for you.
Sleep well
Inadequate sleep is powerfully destructive; it can sabotage your mood and ability to function. Chronically poor sleep often causes depression.
You may be surprised to learn that adults need an average of eight and a half hours of sleep every night. Compensating for sleeping short on weekdays by sleeping in on weekends won't ensure a good mood. Skeptical? Try getting eight and a half hours of sleep every night for two weeks. If you don't feel better, go back to your old ways!
For some people, getting too much sleep can also lead to a poor mood. Although the winter blues may make you feel like sleeping longer than usual, yielding to this temptation can worsen the problem. If feeling groggy makes it hard for you to get up in the morning, try enhancing the natural dawn light in your bedroom by opening the shades or curtains to let in the morning sun — or consider using a dawn simulator.
Chronic sleep problems are very common, affecting about one in six American adults. As noted earlier, getting adequate daytime light exposure, dimming indoor lights before bedtime, and sleeping in a dark bedroom fosters deep, refreshing sleep. Getting more exposure to morning light may be helpful if you have difficulty falling asleep at night. Getting more afternoon or evening light may help if you tend to wake up at 3 AM or so and be unable to get back to sleep. Vigorous exercise — but not too close to bedtime — often helps relieve insomnia.
Winter-blues sufferers may feel tempted at times to take stimulants like caffeine and nicotine for focus and alertness — but when these stimulants interfere with sleep, they can aggravate the very problems they were intended to solve. Exercise offers many of the benefits of stimulants without the risk of disrupting sleep. Similarly, alcohol may provide some temporary relief from a low mood, but in the long run, it can undermine sound sleep and is a depressant that can worsen the winter blues.
It's easier to make lifestyle changes in the summer or fall, before your energy and motivation have been undermined by the winter blues. But even if the blues have already taken hold, hard work and determination can turn them around — sometimes in just a few days.

Defining a Mobile Strategy is not easy. We recommend using BOLT, a new very innovative, Business Strategy Methodology, developed by Jean-Jacques Dubray. BOLT works in many different contexts, but it works particularly well for formulating and executing Mobile Strategies. The methodology is described in this book:
MongoDB is rapidly becoming the de facto back-end of popular mobile apps. MongoDB is both very easy to use and extremely powerful. With Canappi you can build sophisticated data driven, media centric (Using Amazon S3) and location based apps in hours or days.
We have developed a connector to MongoLab, a leading hosting provider of MongoDB instances.
Amazon S3 is on of the most popular storage service with nearly 1 trillion objects stored. With Canappi you can easily write mobile apps that store pictures or videos in S3, or use S3 as a high performance CDN.
Imagine going to a VC with your idea, right there, on your phone. With Canappi it is that easy.
But you say you can't do view design. Not to worry, we integrate with Balsamiq, an easy to use mockup tool. (If you are more exacting we also integrate to Interface Builder, Apple's GUI design tool.) Create your mockup and then generate an application descriptor from it and Canappi will generate the native code for you!
In this fast paced world, you have to be first to deploy your ideas and content. Canappi enables you to build rich mobile applications on several platforms simultaneously, including their back-end data services.
The hardest part of building a mobile application is not implementing specific features. The hardest part is learning how to put everything together: the menu, the navigation, the back-end services and the bindings to the views. Canappi walks you through a well-defined process to generate fully functioning applications. Since our code is 100%, you can look at it, borrow it, and master the entire process yourself. But we are confident you'll keep using Canappi regardless.
With Canappi you can direct your resources and time towards the most valuable features of your app. Forget about all this pesky boiler place code, forget about being off-shoring, and forget about those long debugging sessions.
While some of our competitors lock you in their proprietary platform, using arcane markup languages and can charge you up to $599/month per application for the lifetime of the application, just for the privilege to connect to back-end data services, Canappi generates optimized Web API client code that is free to use forever.
Technologies, architectures and APIs change often. Canappi allows you to build your solution in a technology and architecture neutral way. Today Objective-C, Java or C# are popular, tomorrow we can guaranty you some other technology will come along and disrupt your solution. Why would you ever want to tie your future to a single technology and (a vendor) who has no commitment to you. We have been there and done that, great companies and products get killed because the technology that made them possible goes away. Let us monitor the landscape and help keeping you ahead of the pack.

Two Is A Coincidence, Three Is A Trend
By editor
Originally published on Tue January 29, 2013 3:36 am
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
Two is a coincidence. Three is a trend. That's why an Oklahoma City house has been dubbed The Twin House, after a third consecutive couple living there had twins - a boy and a girl each. Current tenants, Brady and Chelsea Smith, said they didn't believe in the twin mojo when they moved in. Then an ultrasound showed she was expecting twins. New father Brady Smith told the Oklahoman, now his friends won't even drive down the block.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

It is cool to present like penguin...
You can dress conservatively, waddle to the podium, and start quacking under your breath like a Batman villain.
Or Dick Cheney.
But that is only one way to present like a penguin...
Another way?
Go retro.
Go black and white.
In a sea of high-tech presentations, you can stand out by entirely eliminating color from your presentation. Black on white (or white on black) includes the element of drama. High-impact.
Simple, clear, and powerful.
Just like the mighty penguin?
(BTW - the penguin image is this week's free image download at iStockPhoto.com . I love iStockPhoto for image downloads....often as little as $1 a pop, perfect for PowerPoint presentations. And when you join (for free) you can download their "free image of the week". This week, it was the penguin -- cool!)

Since 2003-2004, the post-Soviet Russian economic model seems to have stabilized. From the wild, oligarch-dominated kleptocracy of the mid-1990s, something new has appeared and consolidated, which is quite consistent with political changes emphasizing a strong and partly authoritarian state. Its emphasis on state intervention makes it easy to label a "move back to Soviet times." This would be wrong not just because the current situation is far removed from the actual Soviet system, but also because the new economic model results not from any kind of political nostalgia for Soviet times, but directly from what happened in the '90s under Boris Yeltsin.
Large, integrated companies are prominent in the new Russian model. Not only has the government favored the development of very large enterprises like Gazprom, Rosneft and Transneft in the energy sector and RusAl, Severstal, Renova and Uralmash in heavy industry, but state influence-open or covert-is a decisive factor in industrial development.

The goals of this project are to (1) develop and improve several water treatment technologies to remove dispersed and dissolved organic species from produced water with a focus on flow back water treatment and (2) develop a production process to make these technologies commercially viable.
ABS Materials Inc., Wooster, Ohio 44691-9359
The primary commercial and research focus of this project is the treatment of flowback water resulting from gas field hydraulic fracture stimulations. Unconventional natural gas is an important growing domestic energy supply typically found in shale plays. The challenge industry faces is determining what to do with the flow back water. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) projects shale gas natural gas production will continue to grow, reaching 45 percent of the total volume of produced U.S. natural gas by 2035.Thus, advanced methods to treat flow back water are important for developing this substantial domestic energy source.
Flow back water is an amalgamation of dispersed oil, dissolved volatile and semi-volatile organics, organic acids, metal ions, radionuclides, oilfield treatment chemicals, salt, polymers, insoluble material (rock dust, organic species), or any combination of these. However, very little effective technology exists to address dissolved hydrocarbons, slicking agents, and polymers, which can prevent flow back water from being recycled or discharged.
This project examines a novel and innovative solution to treat flow back water dissolved organics by using swelling glass - Osorb®, which is an engineered organosilica material with high porosity. Osorb® functions as nanomechanical sponge since the porous matrix rapidly swells up to eight times its dried volume upon exposure to non-polar liquids. Osorb® does not swell in water, but is highly effective at removing a wide range of free or dissolved organics from water, including polar species (such as alcohols and carboxylic acids) and non-polar species (such as toluene, benzene, naphthalene, nonane, octane, and 90 percent of naturally occurring organic acids). The goal is to engineer Osorb-based materials into systems that will reduce flow back fluid clean-up costs, effectively clean flow back water streams, and create purified water that can be safely discharged to the environment. Recovered hydrocarbon products can be sold or used as fuel to power the purification system.
Successful development of the Osorb-based materials to remove hydrocarbons and organic process chemicals would benefit the treatment of flow back water and produced water in the following ways:
ABS Materials has completed all Phase I objectives. ABS Materials, in conjunction with three global oil service companies, designed and built a trailer-mounted, 3600 gallon per hour (gal/hr.) flow back water purification system for field use. One major oil services company, with scientific leadership present, was contracted to conduct a full pilot test in the field using produced water from the Clinton Formation (Ohio) in July 2010 and March 2011. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) levels were reduced from 227 mg/L to 0.1 mg/L during testing. TPH is a more stringent measurement than oil and grease, indicating the treated water was well below the discharge threshold of 29 mg/L. This test successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of Osorb® in a large system.
ABS Materials constructed PWU 1.5, a 65 gal/min fully automated treatment system mounted on a 53 ft. drop-deck trailer, and conducted successful wet testing in June 2012 with fresh water only. Wet testing with the addition of Osorb and the recovery of Osorb from the fresh water was successfully completed in August 2012. The recipient conducted a pivot based on the project costs of running the PWU 1.5 system and the changing value proposition for onsite treating of flowback water vs. sending it to a disposal well. A pilot unit (VOC Capture Unit) capable of a 1 bbl./min flow rate was designed and built based on a replaceable cartridge design. The VOC Capture unit is being used on contaminated industrial waste and the lessons learned are being utilized to improve both the pilot unit design and provide a means to evaluate Osorb regeneration concepts. Industrial wastewater was used as a substitute for produced water in these field trials. The system is modular in design allowing for easy scale up to higher bbl./min flow rates. The replaceable cartridge design for the pilot system virtually eliminated the loss of Osorb during capture and regeneration processes. The two main cost drivers for using Osorb technology are the base cost and costs associated with regeneration. The project has focused significant effort on reducing the cost basis for Osorb through increased manufacturing efficiencies, alternative raw materials utilization, and an increase in the acceptable particle size range for hydrocarbon capture. A second equally important focus was on the regeneration process. Replacing the initial solvent wash, heated-vacuum process is still underway. The use of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was evaluated and determined to be feasible, even with surface water-wet Osorb. The capital costs for even a small SC-CO2 sized integrated system for the 60 gpm pilot unit are approximately $500,000. Therefore, ABS is evaluating other suitable but less capital-intensive regeneration methodologies.
ABS designed, fabricated, and is currently testing a combined solvent wash plus low-pressure steam follow-on treatment all-in-one system. A combined (solvent plus steam) regeneration of Osorb (5.0 kg) that captured mixed-phenols and BETX (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylenes) from a Gulf of Mexico offshore platform reduced contamination levels from 12,000 ppm to <200 ppm in 50 minutes.
Osorb® modified with organic groups that bind metals ions was developed and shown to selectively bind certain cations. ABS Materials completed bench-scale testing of forms of Osorb® that co-extract radionuclides (ex. 235U, 212Pb, 228Ac). In addition, ABS Materials has begun evaluating formulations that can be used to harvest rare earth cations from produced water. Variants of the Osorb technology for binding metal ions have led to several proposals to capture copper and nickel from effluent streams to achieve compliance with environmental discharge limits.
Current Status (June 2014)
The cost basis for producing the base Osorb material continues to be driven down through improved manufacturing processes, reduced labor, distillation and re-use of solvents, and improved particle grinding and recovery efficiencies. These combined improvements have resulted in achievement of 75% of the targeted cost reduction goal. Additional cost reduction activities continue with 100% of the cost reduction goal expected to be met over the next year.
Osorb was stress tested under the combined (solvent plus low-pressure steam) regeneration process for 30-cycles. The goal was to determine how robust Osorb would be when subjected to repeated regeneration events. Osorb that experienced more than 12-combined regeneration cycles exhibited a 20% loss in capture capacity. No further loss in capture efficiency was observed. ABS Materials currently recommends that our clients use no more than 12-combined regeneration cycles. A major client on an offshore natural gas platform is evaluating this regeneration process (with a 300 kg charge of Osorb). Initial results indicated that Osorb performed as expected and had 20% more capacity vs. a granular activated carbon-based system. Low-pressure steam regeneration is scheduled to be performed at an on-shore location.
ABS Materials initiated an additional regeneration approach to utilize liquid butane as the regeneration solvent plus heat process. The approach is to pass liquid butane through corn oil-laden Osorb to remove the oil via a gas reclamation pump. Pilot-scale testing has demonstrated 75 percent corn oil removal, which is comparable to SC-CO2 regeneration. A small-scale butane extraction system is being built to further explore this approach with the goal of replacing butane with liquefied petroleum gas in follow-on designs.

For folks that grew up in the 80's the America's Most Wanted TV show was part of life. The Fox network was new and starting in 1988 we watched America's Most Wanted most every Saturday night. We were also a generation that grew up with the fear of crime: kidnappings, murder, etc. We saw it on TV and in the case of AMW it was and is real, very real. We may have been the first generation that wasn't let out of our parents' sights.
To me John Walsh, the host of AMW, was just another TV host. My parents had introduced me to Dragnet years earlier and I saw a similarity in the shows – Walsh's deadpan presentation. I didn't know at the time where his passion came from. Maybe my parents told me, but I don't think I knew until much later that Walsh's crusade for bringing criminals to justice had a very personal origin. In 1981 John and Reve Walsh's 6 year old son was kidnapped and murdered.
For me this story represents so much of why our childhood was the way it was and is an origin story for our own parenting paranoia. Now in Bringing Adam Home Les Standiford chronicles the crime and the police case surrounding the crime – telling the story of why it took until 2008 for the case to be officially closed. This story is one of police incompetence and mis-communication. It's not a fun story, but an important story. Please consider coming to meet Les and Det. Sgt. Joe Matthews.

Radio Control Airplanes is a most rewarding and enjoyable hobby with no limits to the skills one can develop both in building and flying. My planes are generally 5 to 6 foot wingspan with engines ranging from 6.5 to 15cc (.40 to .90 cubic inches).
Here are some fully aerobatic scale models I've built:

I find that as long as it's sunny, 35F is quite tolerable with a pair of gloves with the tips of the thumbs cut off. At 40F you don't need the gloves.
What I like best is doing "touch-and-go's" in pristine snow. The snow is very smooth and absorbent of shock.

Here are some pictures of my buddy Joe's flying witch. She is lifesize and it is quite eerie to see her flying around with her cape flapping in the breeze. If you click on the first thumbnail below, you will see a propeller at the tip of her broomstick. The cape is black cloth on three spars and the broom "bristles" are really a rudder and elevator.

It sounds as awesome as a real one! Here's more info on this model.
|A fine scale turbine jet, a Russian Mig
A more modern RC design allows the startup with the push of a remote button.
|Here's Gene's HotSpot with a Jet Cat turbine. Very Hi-tech.
|Turbine Helicopters!.
|F-15: This is a different kind of RC jet called a ducted fan. Less complicated than the one above, a standard engine fits inside the fuselage with a fan for a propeller. Sort of like a flying vacuum cleaner, but very realistic in flight.
|This is a twin ducted fan electric powered jet made of styrofoam.
|Here is an F-16 with a conventional engine driven propeller on the front for power.

On the river bank
I walk with the flow; hoping
opposite ends meet
To Being
Lust for the Truth
Time shrugs and accepts growth
Solar sails are set--
Stores secured, status shows green.
Surfing Saturn's rings.
upon imagination's sea-
to solo sail,the world around,to see
Upon a chair he sat
His voyage he chart
And the day was set
Which the journey he would start
Steaming out on her maiden voyage
Lifeboats bob chaotically in the screaming waters
-"x+2 = 4"-
Enigmas of the soul
Do you know how it feels?
Never tasted before
Invisible Sun
your voice, my opus
a voyage undertaken

We christen thee Titanic
unsinkable, gigantic.
but lack of options cost her.
First one: a good defroster.
I tried to find a way,
Air way,
Sea way,
Land way,
No,no ways,

VISA on my way!
Silky shadow
Reminiscent of a rivers flow
Delicious streams
Voyage into desire
Dulcet wind playing the dew of love

happiness not guaranteed
instead of enjoying the voyage,

Melted meadows chant
To the beat of hasty streams,
Beams of light dazzle the way.

Where do socks go
When the washer stops?
Where do they go
When the washer stops?
Through the laundry mist
They escape
One goes astray
And another lays motionless
In the laundry basket
Where do socks go
When the washer stop?
Leafs fall
Fall leaves
Snow cascades
Fairy tail dreams of virgin white
Winter leaves me
To spring raindrops
They wash me away
The summer heat torments and burns
Fall arrives by the wind
The wind takes me away
I leave
When one imagines
And one is in sadness
The time for madness
Will come like snow
Slowly growing larger
And one tends to depart
Into a voyage of the mind
To subseed into sorrow
And wonder if he´s life
Is madness, or madness
His life.
Engineless she lands
Late sun ripples indigo
Solo Proud lake swan

Eyes shut
my mind surges through the ocean
vast,deep and magnanimous.
Unknown horizon devours us;
morbid desperation fades away
I breathe in eternal numbness
and abandon my roots.
Crimson hue veils me
Just us.
a ceaseless voyage begins.
-In-between Worlds-
Letting go of all the space in between
the reality
the cloud
A theme, that use to be
---Now dead
Long gone before I woke
Sadly Today's my birthday
So here I am singing a song
All ALone
Happy Birthday to myself
Love PD
Bear-away, Charlie,
Back her up!
She's filled to the rim like a saltwater cup.
Heat up her engines
Into the lee—
Do you hear that sound?
All hands hoay!
Poor old Lucie's run a ground—
Too late, Charlie,
Let it be.
There goes another man plucked by the sea...
Warm the touch, gentle the breeze
Guiding the path on which we believe
Fortunes that encumber stand firm to tether
Consume my heart the flames that gather
Upward eyes stare at stars that surround
We blend to belong, hold back our disguise
Fold around endlessly entwined
The journey of perilous seas-
a vessel so grand-
plunging into the darkest abyss-
eagerly searching as the house upon a rock-
Steering true through mutinies,
teetering on the brink of tipping!
Rallying, never to waver again!
Yet another voyage just dawning-forevermore!
All the Nice Girls
I'd like to sail the Seven Seas
With seven sailors hearty,
Seven ports in seven days,
And seven nights to party.
My every wish would be fulfilled
For me by crewmates, seven,
And when friends ask me where I've been,
I'll say "in seventh heaven!"
In the shadow, behind the tree,
on the meadow, bend your knee,
down the valley, up the stream, flat bedrock,
hear me scream, bellow the heavens, toward hell,
dark tunnel, wishing well; fellow traveler listen well,
no chance given, could you tell,
on a knife-edge, head or tail?
too much when life sails on her voyage
in beauty and grace of the flow of life
i fear if life is a beautiful drear
we lived so long in false concepts
my heart is a weak soul
and so are men in built up muscles
there is no greater humor in men
than to hear him boast his strength.
not of man,
but bear and salt,
legend and deep voyage,
ancestral water,
frost and voice.
Hail Caledonia!
and you,
in Scotia style
reveal words
in smoke and wood,
that breathed
the same air as me.
for the return glance
its prayer
of time
without consequence.
sitting in sounds
sitting where nobody cares
and my thoughts voyage all alone again.
it's the old world
who came back to me,
slided your side while you were leaving.
but I love you for living away,
for now I know who you are.
as long as you try to come back,
as long as you never left me.
gloom,vague,murky dusk
waves break silence - shout in frown
blinded twilight mask.
lengthy life's voyage
in Poseidon's world - guided
spotted stage - "LIGHTHOUSE".
*-* jun-jun villanueva
*-* "IN THE LIGHT OF HAIKU " contest
Standing on the crossroads
When a choice you make
The roads that go far
The voyage is at stake.
You could just stroll
You could procrastinate
Until you lose track
Lose faith in 'fate'
Walk a lane on whim
Cede to 'the unchaste'
Steer the ship yourself
Better you than Him to curate
Beginning voyage.
Cruel taunts of repeating meditate,
"Do I really have it?"
Finding out?
Step forth in the knowing.
Just a few dollars away,
Writing supplies at any Wal-Mart.
It only a pipe dream coming to a now end.
Most definitely in the poetry journey-
I went against the stream and self,
I saw me tired, laden, and lost.
I carried the water uphill;
I went against the stream and self;
Alas, it flowed to the lower shelf!
Oh stream, i am so very cross!
I went against the stream and self,
I saw me tired, laden, and lost.
Awareness drifts in a pool of sinew, flesh, fat, muscle, cartilage, hair, nail, bone, sodden skin, fluid, bile, excrement, blood, swirling in the maelstrom; in its belly thought.
Clarity forgotten, dissolved, flushed down the drain without Mercy.
Bon Secours,
Bon Voyage.

The waves that break the shore
know no more than the sea, as
earth is taken with rocks broken
free, lost in the violent currents
and sinkholes of time.
Here, life is taken
and brought to it's darkest hour
drowning, sand and water choke
surrounding sailors on the sea-bound
follow me my love
be free
as travels we resume
be strong
our bond- His lamp
be sure
'tis but a voyage
we explore
precious memories
we create
Gods chartered map
we follow

Pileggi: As bizarre as it sounds, Henry is the moral center of the movie. He is with a collection of totally amoral, aberrational sociopaths. And he is with them during the early years, when they are the most charming, funny, great guys. They make it so he doesn't have to go to school; when he gets arrested and he doesn't say anything and he comes out of court, they're all waiting for him and cheering him. It was like his birthday, like his confirmation. But you pay a price. The world of the child ends.
Larry McConkey (Steadicam operator): The impression I had when Marty walked us through the Copacabana shot was that this is going to be the most boring, worst thing I've ever done. We're walking across the street, down the stairs, down a hallway, in the kitchen.... What is this shot about?
Douglas: They didn't know that the Copacabana tracking shot was going to be such a big deal. It wasn't like, "Okay, we're going to do the greatest Steadicam shot in history."
Reidy: It's probably the hardest orchestrated single shot I've ever been involved in.
McConkey: There were 400 or more absolutely precise timing moments. It was totally impossible, mathematically.
Zea: This was the mating dance. Henry's arrival into the Copa, the way he came in, and how the whole thing was designed to impress the hell out of Karen. You wanted the audience to be part of her being impressed.
Johnny "Cha Cha" Ciarcia (Batts's crew number one): Marty Scorsese was in trouble for extras, so one of the casting directors called me. I live on Mulberry Street. I know the whole world. I went and I made a deal for $10 a person. We had five busloads of people on Fifth Avenue for the Copa. I set it all up.
Zea: He wanted a long preamble before they get into the space. The Copa didn't have a long enough walk before they actually get into the nightclub. So we had to build a hallway, and we literally took the walls away while the camera was in motion, so that they were gone by the time Ray and Lorraine showed up in the main room. The delivery of the camera into that big space had to be done like a ballet. Henry is saying hi to everyone, everyone knew who he was. And then the table flies across the camera and lands smack dab in front of Henny Youngman, and suddenly there's champagne coming over courtesy of these other guys.
McConkey: Marty watches the first rehearsal, and the only thing he said was, "No, no! When the table comes in, it's got to fly in! I came here as a kid and I saw this!" They'd flip on a tablecloth, the lamp goes on top of it, somebody plugs it in, they put down the plates... It was like a magic act.
Douglas: I believe they only did like seven takes. I've been involved in Steadicam work where you literally work all day to achieve what Marty achieved in that shot.
Liotta: One take was because at the end of it, Henny Youngman forgot his joke.
Zea: "Take my wife..."
Ballhaus: He forgot his line that he had said about 2,000 times!
Douglas: Brian De Palma had just done this incredibly long Steadicam shot in The Untouchables, and Marty said it would be funny to try to do it one minute longer than De Palma's. The world perceives this as "Oh, the Copacabana scene!" But what it really is, is directors behind the scenes having fun fucking with each other.
Ciarcia: Sylvia Fay was the extras-casting person, may she rest in peace. She said, "We'll give you a part in the movie." I said, "Read my lips. I don't give a shit about a part in the movie. At ten bucks a head [for the extras], I figure you owe me $4,000. Just give me the $4,000 and I'll be happy. And a casting credit." She says, "I can't give you a casting credit, I can't give you the $4,000, but I could give you a part in the movie." I says, "As long as it pays $4,000, we got a deal." Two weeks later, I get my check in the mail. It was $1800. I called up Warner Bros., I said, "My deal was for $4000. If I don't get the balance of my money, I'll be on set tomorrow and I'll break all the cameras." They called me back: "Mr. Cha Cha, we apologize. You're right! Accounting made a mistake."
Norton: There is no noise on Scorsese's set. No distractions. People who aren't in the inner circle find it hard to approach him, and he doesn't want them to, because he's so concentrated. On another job, they put up mirrors so that if there was someone sitting behind him crinkling a paper he would see exactly who it was and have them removed. There was a sense that he couldn't handle distraction. The movie set was not like this public place. And I think he did that for the actors. They improv'd a lot of stuff in this very quiet environment where they felt totally at ease.
Douglas: He creates an environment on-set where you literally did not know the difference between when the camera was on and when the camera was off, this environment where nobody feels as if they're embarrassed or did something wrong. When we were filming the bar scene [where everyone is celebrating the Lufthansa heist], it was like this huge tracking thing, very, very elaborate. I was doing sketch comedy and had no real clue what I was doing, so I was thinking, When the camera comes to me, I'll give my line a button by taking a sip of wine: ba-dum-bum! The shot had taken two hours to set up, and as soon as I did the wine, I was like, "Why did I do that? That was so misguided." But Marty came over waving his arms. "Hold it, hold it! Camera problem. Sorry, everyone." And he came really close to me and whispered in my ear, "Don't—" and I said, "I know." To me, that's a classic Marty thing. I've been on a million sets where people say, "What is she doing?"

The proposed holding company of Plano-based SharePlus Federal Bank is aiming to raise up to $19.8 million in an initial public offering, according to documents filed Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Under the terms of the proposed deal, SP Bancorp Inc. would sell shares to the public and become the parent company of SharePlus, a mutual savings bank that would convert from mutual to stock form.
Money raised from the offering would be used to increase capital to support future growth, and possibly to make acquisitions, the company said.
Frito-Lay credit union
SharePlus was chartered in 1958 as a federal credit union serving the employees of Frito-Lay and their family members.
It went on to serve employees and family members of companies including Yum Brands, A&W Restaurants, KFC, Long John Silver's, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and various PepsiCo divisions, according to SP Bancorp's regulatory filing.
SharePlus became a federal savings bank in 2004.
The bank had about $227 million in assets as of March 31, up from $208 million at the end of 2009.
$323,000 loss
The bank lost $323,000 during the first three months of the year, after earning a $493,000 profit in 2009.
SharePlus has eight branches: three in Plano, two in Dallas, two in Louisville, Ky., and one in Irvine, Calif. The bank had 59 full-time employees and two part-timers as of March 31.
SP Bancorp said it expected its stock to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol SPBC.

Human behavior and human economies are directly affected by water supplies. But what happens if we don't have enough water? How would Texas as we know it change? Three scenarios show what Texas could be like with varying rainfall amounts.
Scenario 1: Adequate Water Supplies
In a "normal" year Texas receives an average of about 27 inches of rainfall across the state, with much more falling in the eastern part of the state than in the west. Average rainfall varies from about 55 inches annually in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area to about 10 inches around El Paso.20
- In general, such rainfall provides enough water for both rural and urban needs.
- Water management and planning focuses more on water rights and the need for wells and pipelines to move water where it is needed.
- Conservation efforts tend to be concentrated in the more arid parts of the state.
- Other than occasional disruptions due to broken pipes and mains, when the faucet is turned on there's plenty of water, no matter what the need.
Scenario 2: Severe Drought
In a severe drought such as the drought of record, Texas might average between 22.5 and four inches of rain annually, moving from east to west, for five to 10 years.
- Surface water supplies are strained, requiring more extensive use of both fresh and brackish groundwater.
- Texas' municipalities are forced to absorb millions of dollars in costs to fix water mains cracked and buckled by dried-out soils.
- Municipal water rates may rise dramatically.
- Texas agriculture takes billions of dollars in losses. Many farmers stop planting, and some leave the business entirely. Cattle herds are greatly reduced as forage becomes prohibitively expensive.
- As a result, food costs may rise substantially.
- Many businesses based on recreation on Texas lakes and streams dry up and disappear.
- Destructive wildfires may sweep through the tinder-dry state each summer, destroying millions of dollars' worth of homes, businesses and timber.
- Irrigation of trees, shrubs, flowering plants and lawns is restricted; many plants used in landscaping die.
- Lack of rainfall leads to increased salinity in Texas' bays and estuaries, damaging oyster, shrimp and crab yields.
- Low-flush and dual-flush toilets and other low-flow water appliances are required or strongly recommended and may receive significant tax and installation rebates.
- Texans face "convenience costs" as well — scarce and expensive water makes Texans think twice about using appliances they once took for granted, such as dishwashers and clothes washing machines.
Scenario 3: MegaDrought
Texas' water planning process uses the 1950s "drought of record" as a worst-case scenario. Unfortunately, scientific evidence from tree-ring studies indicates that the 1950s drought may be far from a true worst-case scenario.
Say that Texas receives half of its "normal" average annual rainfall, 13 inches or so, for two decades. Our semi-tropical regions would become arid, while our semi-arid regions would become desert. This situation would create tremendous social changes.
- Texas agriculture would change dramatically, and might end in some areas. Drip irrigation and other techniques pioneered in desert areas would become essential.
- Remaining agriculture might become dependent on "water markets," in which the rights to draw groundwater are bought and sold.
- Food prices, particularly beef prices, would increase significantly.
- Turf grass lawns and all outside watering might be banned.
- Low-flow water appliances would become mandatory.
- Wastewater would become quite valuable, and would be reclaimed for reuse in irrigation and perhaps treated to make it suitable for human consumption.
- Desalination of brackish (salty) groundwater and seawater would become common, at first for industrial and agricultural uses and then for drinking water.
- Utility rates could be expected to skyrocket due to the increased expense of water obtained through desalination or reuse, and the higher costs faced by energy plants that rely on water for cooling.

Doncaster owner Terry Bramall will continue running the club following Louis Tomlinson's failed takeover.
One Direction star Tomlinson and former Rovers chairman John Ryan's bid to buy the League One side collapsed on Thursday when it was rejected by the Football League.Rovers will therefore remain in the hands of major shareholders Dick Watson and Bramall, who has vowed to back manager Paul Dickov in the transfer market as they aim for promotion back to the Championship."It was with reluctance we agreed to the takeover simply because we have been pleased with the journey the club has made since our time as owners both on and off the field," Bramall said in a statement on the club's official website."However John and Louis both have a clear passion for the club and we did not want to stand in their way."Our primary motive throughout the negotiations has been to secure the future of Doncaster Rovers and to ensure the club is in a position to thrive both on and off the field while protecting the future of all staff."Hence why we agreed to write off our loans to the club as part of the proposed takeover agreement"While we did not expect to be in this position, the opportunity that has presented itself is one that is welcomed with a positive attitude."We are looking forward to working with Paul Dickov, Gavin Baldwin and the rest of the senior management team and they of course will have our full support."We appreciate the difficult situation Paul has found himself in through no fault of his own."The delay in transfer activity has of course had short term impact on our season preparations but we are hopeful as a board we can support Paul with a playing budget that allows him to achieve all of our ambitions for a return to the Championship."

Evacuator FreshAir System
See how the Evacuator™ can drastically improve the air quality in your indoor facility then call 1-800-783-7005 to get a quick quote for FreshAIR™ today!
Click here To see what others are saying about the Evacuator FreshAIR system or to see more videos of the Evacuator in action, visit this YouTube Channel: The Evacuator Network!
Trichloramines are a by-product of chlorine attacking organics in the pool water. They are then released into the air when the pool water is agitated by swimmers or features, and have been linked to breathing problems amongst swimmers and coaches who spend much time in indoor swimming facilities - Yet, problems aren't limited to humans. Trichloramines cause issues within facilities as well, deteriorating building structures and mechanical systems, pool accessories, and even drinking fountains. Facility managers recognize how poor air quality will even reduce the volume of spectators and recreational users due to uncomfortable conditions.
The Paddock Evacuator has been engineered as a cutting-edge solution to the airborne trichloramine problem. The Evacuator™ source captures airborne trichloramines and exhausts them from the facility leaving "FreshAIR™" behind.

The Evacuator™ removes high concentrations of airborne chloramines in the area directly above the pool water surface reducing the smell of chloramines throughout your facility.
The reduced chloramine concentration improves the swimmers ability to process oxygen, which will translate into better performance by competitive swimmers.
The Evacuator™ provides a much more desirable environment for patrons, competitive swimmers and facility staff. Seniors and patrons with respiratory issues enjoy the pools, rather than having to stay away due to the detrimental effects of excessive chloramines.
The Evacuator™ reduces maintenance required for deck equipment and metal building components.
This is a GREEN SYSTEM and lends itself well for LEED accreditation as it reduces power consumption, provides improved air quality, and heat recovery from the air pulled off the pool water surface.
The Evacuator™ reduces the dehumidification load of the "HVAC" system by evacuating high-humidity air from the surface of the pool where the humidity originates. This design of the overall equipment required for the project can represent a significant up front cost saving to the owner compared to the standard design criteria used in the Aquatics Industry today.
The "HVAC" system runs less due to the reduction of humidity migration throughout the entire building plenum, particularly in off programming hours and reduces operating costs significantly. The operational costs of the facility will be additionally reduced by the recapture of heat from the exhausted air from the chloramine bubble.
The Evacuator™ greatly extends the life of "HVAC" equipment and the building components by preventing heavy chloramine-laden air from attacking system components which in turn reduces the reserves required for future capitalization for repairs and replacement of facility components.
In a controlled test at a local Charlotte area natatorium, the Evacuator™ system successfully reduced the airborne chloramines around the pool from unacceptable levels as recommended by the World Health Organization to acceptable levels.
- Chloramine testing was conducted in a controlled environment at a local Charlotte area YMCA natatorium known to have air quality issues.
- Gas phase sampling and analysis was conducted by noted University PHD candidates under the guidance of a respected environmental engineering professor.
- These results were obtained in a closely controlled test at a known facility. Future test results may vary due to individual facility design.
