Fittingly named for Aldo Leopold, the Leopold center near Baraboo, WI, has been awarded 61 of 69 LEED points – more than any building so far – making it, apparently, the "greenest" building currently in existence. Although the architects of certain ancient structures might beg to differ, in the our era it's popular and often helpful to use this kind of ranking to see where things are stacking up and to encourage more to do the same. So be it.
It goes without saying that the center is carbon neutral, incredibly efficient, embracing of daylight while using and recycling rainwater for most functions. More importantly, perhaps, is the buildings function as an educational center for other inspired folks. No data is public that I could find about costs and ROI, but it's certainly something worth checking out for businesses ans individuals alike.

Greenest Building on the Planet?
Fittingly named for Aldo Leopold, the Leopold center near Baraboo, WI, has been awarded 61 of 69 LEED points – more than any building so far – making it, apparently, the "greenest" building currently in existence. Although the architects of certain ancient structures might beg to differ, in the our era it's popular and often helpful to use this kind of ranking to see where things are stacking up and to encourage more to do the same. So be it.
Smart Glass Jewelry: Recycled Line
Smart Glass Jewelry has launched a "recycled line." In this case, "Recycled" as in glass accessories form sources as broad as wine bottles to Perrier, Coca-Cola, beer and many other bottles. Although recycled glass can involve the use of massive blast furnaces and other energy intensive mega-machinery, Kathleen Plate's recycled line of glass jewelry is created from a delicate method that is low-impact all around.
Kathleen has created a unique, simple and popular style for her recycled line for women's jewelry. In fact, her jewelry is hand-crafted, providing a personal and one-of-a-kind product worth its sentimental weight to many a consumer. Given the fact that in 2005, production of glass was responsible for 4.2 million tons of CO2 emissions, this is the simplest of examples of businesses profiting form resourceful green solutions.
AskPablo: Keep the beater?
Is it environmentally better to keep my 1986 Mercedes-Benz W126 or buy a new hybrid?
This is a question I have gotten a lot, and one that I have wondered about myself. You see a modern-day tie-dye aficionado puttering along the highway in his VW van with black smoke spewing out the back, and you have to wonder if we wouldn't all be better off if he traded it in for a Prius. The consensus among some environmentalists — perhaps ones who drive late-'60s Mustangs — seems to be that driving your old car creates significantly less pollution than the manufacture of a new car. I wish it were that easy.
The Argonne National Lab, a U.S. Department of Energy research center, has analyzed the material intensity and energy consumption of manufacturing vehicles and vehicle fuels. Their work is packaged in GREET models (for greenhouse gases, regulated emissions and energy use in transportation). According to the models, the average conventional internal combustion engine vehicle is made up of 61.7 percent steel, 11.1 percent iron, 6.9 percent aluminum, 1.9 percent copper/brass, 2.9 percent glass, and around 13.6 percent plastic/rubber. This information helps determine the energy required to produce a vehicle.

Clorox Rings the Green Bell – With Sierra Club
Hot on the heels of their acquisition of Burt's Bees, among the more respected "green" brands out there, Clorox has now partnered with the Sierra Club to launch a new line of products called "Green Works" which the Sierra Club will validate as "natural". Both organizations joined together this morning at the New York Stock Exchange to ring the opening bell as part of Earth Week celebrations.
There's a lot to digest here. Can Clorox succeed in launching a new green brand alongside leaders like Seventh Generation and Method? Will the Sierra Club's endorsement come with a critical eye to make sure the GreenWorks products are as good as Clorox claims? Or will this all go down like a cup of bleach? As usual, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until proven wrong. What do you think?
Solar Leases Makes Cents
In California, a combination of state incentives, a federal tax credit, and a new solar leasing program could create the perfect storm for the state's solar industry. SolarCity is changing the landscape of the residential solar market in California and the Phoenix metropolitan area by offering solar leases, which significantly reduces the upfront cost of going solar.
"Customers have called for alternatives to solar purchasing, and our innovations in financing will allow them to get the benefits of renewable energy quickly, easily and affordably," said David Arfin, Vice President of Customer Financing at SolarCity.
Beyond Green: Adam Werbach and BLUE, Sustainability or Self Help?
After four years of heads down work to find answers where it appeared that only questions existed, Adam Werbach followed up his highly controversial 2004 speech, "Is Environmentalism Dead?" just over a week ago at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. The speech, titled "The Birth of Blue," was frustratingly brilliant, asserting that the answer to the change we all seek is in incremental shifts in consumer behavior, trading Twinkies for carrots, then organic, locally-produced carrots, in search of a greater sense of health, both personal and environmental. Without really putting the finger of his eloquent voice on it, I believe Werbach stumbled on the inspired answer the audience had waited four years to hear.
For those who don't know Werbach, some of his most notable accomplishments include becoming elected the youngest president of the Sierra Club, America's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization at the age of 23. He's since become the poster child of the green movement, founding Act Now Productions (acquired by Saatchi and Saatchi this year) to work with corporate titans like Wal-Mart to incorporate the principles of sustainability derived from an all-talk environmental activism movement that he swore off four years ago.
Werbach's speech entertained and inspired the audience of sustainability consultants, LEED developers, non-profit staffers, and greater Bay Area public. He reflected on his 2004 eulogy for environmentalism and the many attacks that followed, including a recent one titled "Adam Werbach makes me puke." The full text of the speech is available on Grist.
A Carbon Credit is a Credit…Right? Better check the label!

You have your shopping list that includes the key ingredients for success; the number of offsets, a budget and outlet locations. Well, time to get to work and evaluate the best route to achieve the offset objective.Click to continue reading »
Wall Street Journal editorial page: A glimpse behind the curtain
First, a disclaimer: the Wall Street Journal's news reporting on climate science, clean energy and related environmental issues is and has always been stellar. To a person, the reporters are subject matter experts in each of their relevant beats and are the lodestars of accuracy, healthy skepticism and a desire to understand the complex, cascading set of issues.
Then there's the Journal's editorial page. The page is known for its unabashed defense of … well, of its own quirky ideology. They're not exactly capitalists: they like profits when they're privatized, as long as the related costs (especially if it's infrastructure, pollution or poor labor conditions) are socialized. They disdain partisan politics, unless the partisan in question is bashing Democrats or those God-forsaken liberals.
Usually, the wacky, unsigned opinions on the Journal's editorial page give little insight into the personalities behind their "unique" outlooks. At least, that was the case, until they started recording themselves on video and posting it on the internets.
Aqwise & Ecological Sanitation on the Rise, Part 1
Click to continue reading »
Having designated 2008 the "International Year of Sanitation," the United Nations is among the most prominent of a growing number of international aid and economic development organizations on a crusade to address poverty in developing nations around the world by facilitating projects that aim to provide poor communities access to basic and sustainable water, sewage and sanitation services. Long taken for granted in developed countries, concerns about water supplies, sewage and sanitation services are intensifying in cities, counties and municipalities in the US, Europe and developed countries around the world as well however.
Private sector investments and M&A activity in ecological sanitation solutions and clean tech's wastewater treatment sector have surged as a result. A global industry of multinational companies is emerging, which in turn is stimulating growth of new, innovating start-ups, such as Israel's Aqwise, that are pursuing ways of giving natural ecological processes a helping hand by cultivating growth of the biota naturally present in wastewater streams to remove polluting organic materials.
Aqwise last month raised an additional US$3.6 million in capital to support its growth plans, which center on use of its AGAR (Attached Growth Airlift Reactor) technology and ecological water sanitation process for municipal, industrial and aquaculture wastewater treatment. Last week, Triple Pundit got the chance to interview Aqwise CEO Elad Frenkel.
Ford Motor Bows to Shareholder Pressure – Outlines Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
In an example of the power shareholder activism, Ford Motor Company has made public their plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their fleet of cars and trucks 30% by 2020.
Shareholders pushing for action include the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility and the Investor Network on Climate Risk. Climate change resolutions from shareholders were withdrawn upon Ford's agreement to outline their plan to address climate change.
Other automakers such as General Motors are also feeling the heat, as it were, from activist shareholders. The Big Three (Ford, GM, and Chrysler) are members of the US Climate Action Partnership and, along with other US companies, have agreed to cut carbon emissions 60–80% by 2050. Ford is also a member of the Chicago Climate Exchange.
To the automaker's credit, Ford has reduced their GHG emissions from their facilities worldwide by 39% from 2000 to 2007.
John Viera, Ford's director of of Sustainable Business Strategy, says "The CO2 reduction levels we have adopted represent our contribution toward meeting 450 part per million (ppm) to 550 ppm stabilization pathways." Unfortunately, many feel that a target of 450 and especially 550 ppm simply isn't good enough.
While Investor Network on Climate Risk director Mindy Lubber applauded Ford's efforts, she cautions us not to "fool ourselves… Ford – as well as General Motors – need to do much more, and quickly, to reclaim their leadership role in the global marketplace. It's not just a coincidence that these two corporate icons, once the embodiment of American innovation, are each worth less today in terms of their market capitalization, than First Solar, a nine-year-old solar company in Arizona."
Nissan Motors has adopted a 40% reduction in GHG emissions from its vehicles by 2016 and 70% by 2050. Honda's reduction goal is 10% by 2012.

US and China Collaborate at Green Energy Conference
It was early for a Friday to be at the PG&E auditorium in San Francisco, Calif. to talk about the dire state of our planet. Hosted by the US Green Energy Conference (USGEC) and the Asia Society, it started with a pleasant breakfast spread of fruit, bagels and coffee, and continued via two serious panel discussions. One on policy and increasing energy efficiency and the second on business and tech development.
And while there were the usual issues discussed about cleantech (wind, solar, biomass) and their tradeoffs, this certainly wasn't your every day panel about sustainability issues.
EcoTuesday Event, Earth Day – April 22, in YOUR City
EcoTuesday is a forum for sustainable business leaders to come together to network, collaborate, and engage with one another in a structured environment.

Challenges of Green Residential Development: Resistance to Change Intro
Click to continue reading »
In short, it all begins with education from the bottom up, and regarding everyone involved in a building process. First of all, consumer awareness on green building is murky for the majority. For example, I have several prospective clients and or builders ask me each week what green building means to me. Many assume that being green means the use of cfl lights and solar panels. Or, some think it is low-flow water and reduced waste of some form or another. In a sense, they are right I tell them, those are all green aspects but I define our green buildings by far more than that.
The importance of all this is simple really, if a consumer wants some green elements in their building envelope then that is an improvement and I support them no matter how green they wish to be. For the sake of argument, in regard to what I might briefly classify as "green without comprimise" or "green from the groud up," I would say that education is severely lacking in the system. In fact the one system that provides some guidance that many are becoming slightly familiar with is LEED, but beyond that it is an open gate for a flood of green bits and pieces and all are quick to use it in reference to their projects.
Wookin' Pa Nub
Ever wondered where all the investment in clean energy and cleantech is going? As in, the physical terminus of all that cash? If one were looking for work in the industry, it sure would be handy to know where to start.
Well, if you've been wookin' pa nub in all the wrong places, wook no further. Our good friends at Earth2Tech have developed a most highly excellent Google map that gives the precise locations of most of the major companies developing solar technologies, clean fuels, storage, smart grids, clean chemistry, ad infinitum.

The map is a bit U.S.-centric – believe it or not, there's a lot of cleantech activity in Europe, India and China these days – but I think it's unlocked, so add your favorite cleantech company to the list.
Renewable Investment Takes a Hit but Remains Buoyant
The weak housing market, turmoil in the financial industry, the credit crunch and economic slowdown are hitting renewable energy investment but sizable amounts of capital are still flowing into the sector, according to research published by London-based New Energy Finance this week.
Some US$ 2.4 billion of investment flowed into renewable energy in this year's first quarter compared to US$ 3.7 billion in Q1 2007. Private equity investments fell sharply – down 64% – to US$ 878 million while venture capital investors put US$ 1 billion to work in the renewable energy sector in Q1 this year as compared to $668 million in Q1 last year, a 57% increase.
New equity issuance in the public markets came to a virtual standstill after Iberdrola Renovables' US$ 7.2 billion IPO in December. US$ 807 million was raised via public IPOs in Q1 compared to $5.2 billion in the year ago quarter.
In terms of sectoral investment, investors put more capital to work in solar power this Q1 – $3.2 billion – than they did in the corresponding period last year, when $1.9 billion flowed into solar power projects. Solar thermal electricity generation is the new darling of the sector, according to New Energy Finance.
Wind power investment fell to US$ 6.6 billion during Q1 from $7.2 billion in the year ago quarter, as industry participants and investors in the US await Congressional action to renew the Production Tax Credit, which is due to expire at the end of the year.
Growing resistance and questioning of US biofuels targets, policies and standards led to sharply reduced investments in the sector. Investment in US ethanol plants shrank to US$ 311 million in Q1 2008 from $1.7 billion in Q1 last year. Newer markets are developing in countries such as Mozambique, Russia and Thailand, however, and biofuels investment continues to grow in Brazil, bringing total biofuels investment to $3.1 billion in Q1, down 15% year-to-year.
Mergers and acquisition activity increased sharply along with growth and development of what's emerging as a global renewable energy market and industry. Corporate M&A transactions more than doubled, to $7.7bn, compared to $3.5 billion in the year ago period. Large acquisitions, such as Scottish & Southern Electric's $3.2 billion acquisition of Airtricity helped make Q1 2008 the second-largest quarter after last year's third quarter in terms of M&A activity, according to New Energy Finance.

Documentary director Arthur Dong has been working since the early 1980s, when one of his first shorts, "Sewing Woman," was nominated for an Academy Award. Since then, he has directed a series of docs on political and social issues, including 1994's Peabody Award winning "Coming Out Under Fire" and 1997's Sundance favorite "Licensed To Kill," which took a chilling look at the lives of people convicted of violent hate crimes against gay men (Dong himself was a victim of gay bashing in 1977). His latest work, "Hollywood Chinese," goes in a different but certainly not less imperative direction, examining the placement of Asian-Americans in Hollyw...Read More »
Ten years can either be a blip or an eternity depending on your perspective. The year 1997 saw President Bill Clinton inaugurated for his second term, James Cameron's "Titantic" was the top movie and a book about a young wizard named Harry Potter first hit shelves. It was before the Internet stock bust and "information superhighway" was still a promise. The world of documentary in the U.S. was one of foundation funding, public television broadcast and educational distribution with precious few docs breaking into any kind of commercial success. It was in that entrenched world that then-new filmmakers Katy Chevigny and Julia Pimsleur felt like ...Read More »

Boston-based Errol Morris is that rarity among filmmakers: an intense documentarian (he has worked as a private investigator) and a great aestheticist. Harper's called him "the most obsessive and relentless forensic documentary filmmaker of our time." He probes thoroughly, interviewing his exceptionally candid subjects through a device he invented known as the Interrotron, a two-camera set-up allowing the interviewee to see Morris but also inviting the viewer into an eyeline rapport with the witness. "Standard Operating Procedure" is in the tradition of Morris's "The Thin Blue Line" (1988), in which he spoke to many people in pursuit of the t...Read More »

We're going to be live blogging Michael Jackson's public memorial service at the Staples Center, starting at 10 am PT/1 pm ET. Keep refreshing this page to get the latest details on the event.
10:12 am: The memorial begins -- a few minutes late -- with Smokey Robinson reading comments written by Nelson Mandela and Diana Ross, who did not attend the service, but sent their condolences to the Jackson family. In Diana's comments, she said, "Michael wanted me to be there for his children, and I will be there if they ever need me," referring to the fact that she was named as the successor trustee to Katherine Jackson, if necessary, in Michael's will. See the video
10:29 am: We're in the middle of a very long, unexpected lull. Nothing is happening. Technical difficulties, maybe? What we do know is that the Jackson family is sitting in the front row.
10:34 am: Michael's casket is brought in by the Jackson men, all wearing a single, sparkly glove. See the video
10:37 am: Pastor Lucious Smith speaks, calling Michael "a brother, a son, a father and a friend."
10:40 am: Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz perform a rendition of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There." See the video
10:45 am: Queen Latifah, obviously emotional, speaks, telling the audience that Michael Jackson made us all believe in ourselves. She adds that "Michael was the biggest star on earth."
10:47 am: Queen reads a quote from poet Maya Angelou, in which she says, "Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us... he thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style. Whether we knew who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his... we are the world." See the video
10:50 am: Lionel Richie sings his song, "Jesus is Love."
10:54 am: Berry Gordy, founder of the Motown record label, speaks, saying that Michael Jackson "raised the bar and then broke the bar." He continues, "He sang with such feeling and inspiration, Michael had a quality that we couldn't completely understand, but we all knew he was special." See the video
11:00 am: "When he did his iconic moon walk, I was shocked. It was magic. Michael Jackson went into orbit and never came down. Thought it ended way too soon, Michael's life was beautiful. Sure, there were some sad times and maybe some questionable decisions on his part, but Michael Jackson accomplished everything he dreamed of. I think he is simply the greatest entertainer that ever lived," Berry Gordy continues.
11:03 am: A Michael Jackson video tribute plays, featuring clips from his performances, fan reactions, news stories and music videos.
11:07 am: Stevie Wonder comes on stage to sing his song, "Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer." He personalizes the lyrics, adding in Michael's name: "I never dreamed you'd leave in summer, but now I find my love has gone away. Michael, why didn't you stay?" See the video
11:15 am: Basketball players Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant take the stage. Kobe begins, saying, "Michael was also a true humanitarian... he always cared deeply for those in need. Michael also made the Guinness Book of World Records for most charities supported by a pop star." Magic follows, talking about his friendship with Michael Jackson and when he discovered that Michael liked Kentucky Fried Chicken.
11:18 am: Magic continues with his speech, on a more somber note: "This is a celebration of his life, of his legacy. I want to thank Michael for opening up so many doors for African Americans... he allowed Kobe and I to have our jerseys in people's homes across the world, because he was already there... His three children will have the most incredible grandmother that God has put on this earth to take care of them." See the video
11:21 am: A very pregnant Jennifer Hudson comes on stage and sings Michael's "Will You Be There" with a chorus behind her. The song is from the Dangerous album, and was also featured on the Free Willy soundtrack. See the video
11:26 am: Reverend Al Sharpton speaks of how Michael broke the color barrier. "He created a comfort level where people who thought they were separate became connected through his music... Michael made us love each other. Michael made us stand with each other."
11:33 am: John Mayer performs, though he recently Twittered, "I also want you to know that I'm going not to 'perform' but to contribute... Proud to be a musician." John plays his guitar to "Human Nature," while background singers sing the lyrics. See the video
11:38 am: Brooke Shields come on stage, extremely emotional, and has a hard time starting her speech. "To us, it was the most natural and easiest of friendships. I was 13 when we met, and from that day on our friendship grew. Michael always knew he could count on me to support him or be his date, and that we would have fun no matter where we were. We had a bond." See the video
11:40 am: Brooke continues, telling personal stories about her friendship with Michael. "We never collaborated together. We never performed together or danced on the same stage -- although he did try in vain one night, unsuccessfully, to teach me the moon walk... We never filmed a video or recorded a song, but what we did do was laugh. It was always a competition to see who could make the other one laugh more or be sillier."
11:47 am: An extremely teary-eyed Jermaine Jackson -- Michael's brother -- sings "Smile," which Brooke Shields referred to in her speech moments before as Michael's favorite song. The song, better known as "Smile Though Your Heart is Aching," was originally written by Charlie Chaplin. Michael covered "Smile" on his album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. He later dedicated the song to Princess Diana during the last concerts of his HIStory World Tour. See the video
11:53 am: Martin Luther King III and his sister Bernice King take the stage. Martin Luther remembers how his father had always said that people should be the best of what they are. "Michael Jackson was truly the best of what he was," Martin Luther King III says. Bernice then speaks, adding, "May we all be inspired to go and let our light shine."
11:58 am: Texan congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee now speaks, and immediately references Michael's child molestation charges: "We understand laws, and we know that people are innocent until proven otherwise. That is what the Constitution stands for."
12:07 pm: It's now Usher's turn to take the stage. He sings Michael Jackson's song, "Gone Too Soon." Eerily appropriate. Some of the lyrics include, "Like a comet, blazing 'cross the evening sky, gone too soon. Like a rainbow, fading in the twinkling of an eye, gone too soon." Usher breaks down as he tries to sing the last line of the song. See the video
12:12 pm: Another video piece. This one features the Jackson 5 singing "Who's Loving You."
12:13 pm: Smokey Robinson is back on stage. He speaks about meeting the Jackson 5 and when they recorded his song, "Who's Loving You." He says he first thought to himself, "This boy cannot possibly be 10 years old... I quickly went over to him because I wanted to see his birth certificate. I could not believe that someone that young could have that much feeling and soul."
12:18 pm: Shaheen Jafargholi, a contestant on Britain's Got Talent, sings "Who's Loving You." According to Kenny Ortega -- who worked with Michael on his tours -- Michael had seen the 12-year-old on YouTube and was so impressed that he invited him to perform during his comeback concerts in London.
12:25 pm: Some of the performers from Michael Jackson's concert, along with the stars from the memorial service and family members, sing "We are the World," which was one of Michael Jackson's favorite parts of his comeback concert. Fans outside of the Staples Center are seen holding hands, joining in a circle, as they sing along with the song.
12:28 pm: Fans and memorial service participants -- along with Michael's kids who are on stage -- sing "Heal the World." See the video
12:34 pm: Jermaine Jackson thanks everyone for attending the memorial service.
12:35 pm: Marlon Jackson, another one of Michael's brothers, is so emotional that it's difficult for him to speak at first. He then says he doesn't understand "why the lord has taken our brother to return home after such a short visit on Earth." Then, in reference to all the crazy attention that Michael has received, he says, "Maybe now, Michael, they will leave you alone." Marlon ends his speech with, "I would like you to give our brother, my twin brother, Brandon, a hug for me."
12:40 pm: Michael's only daughter, Paris, approaches the microphone: "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And i just want to say I love him so much." See the video
12:42 pm: The family walks Michael's casket out of the Staples Center.

I have been lurking here following development of the Corsair. Thanks for your efforts in working with FMS and keeping us informed. Just want to let you know that the extra epoxy weight on the right wing might be a blessing in disguise.
According to an article published on Model Aviation Magazine (AMA), a little weight added to the right wing might actually alleviate the severe left turning tendency of warbirds during take off (ie. low speed, near stall, high throttle conditions). It recommends adding 2x the 2stroke equivalent size weight in ounces to the wing tip as a starting point. So if the corsair is a .60 size equivalent, then adding 1.2 oz of weight to the wing tip is desirable. And since most of your epoxy weight seems to be inboard of the mid span of right wing, to achieve the same moment, excess weight of 2.4 ~ 3 oz may be tolerable.
In short the excess weight on the right wing might pleasantly surprise you by taming the dreaded left turn on take off. Good luck on the re-maiden.
|Aug 13, 2012, 10:36 PM
Oh that's right! I did read that article...That could be great, but the damage is closer to the root not the wingtip. I wonder if that would make any difference?
As for the hub, I had to put in a request to FMS to please send me a spare in with my next order. The P-47 hub in fact is a match but of course that one is broken too and I'm awaiting the replacement.

heya Todd, by chance would you have any pics of the 1700mm Corsair loaded up in your Expedition the other day?
asking because it sounded like it won't fit it the back cargo area by just sliding her in nose or tail first w/o setting it in on an angle...?
I know shes a huge plane, my largest is 1450mm which is huge for me and I need to consider size/transporting etc. when I look ahead at new planes... I have a feeling a 1700mm warbird would limit my runs to the airfield to a single 1700mm and maybe one other 1400.. series.
with that in mind, when my daughter came by the other day with her Tahoe, I got an idea'r and took my v6 Petie out to size it up and to my surprise it wouldn't go straight in the back cargo hatch. I had to cant it and turn it at about a 45* angle and it was a pretty tight fit...
I've been thinking it was time to retire my '91 GMC Suburban and get a slightly better (economical) rig then my Burb but I may miss the feature\ ability of being able to slide 1450mm ws plane straight in, actually, a couple at a time... I currently have a PVC rack I can slide two 1400mm & 1450mm birds in straight (stacked)... and can easily mod the rack to where I could get 3 nice sized birds in the back with the landing gear retracted... so the FMS v6 Petie, FMS 1400 T-28 and E-flite 1360mm Hurricane would be easily fitted into the cargo area.... but not with a Tahoe and maaaybe not with an Expedition, which was my other choice
looking forward to your remaiden
|Aug 14, 2012, 12:38 AM
Sorry man, no photos of the transport...It literally just fits sideways...The tail section is angled upwards on the driver's side back window area and the nose is touching the passenger side back compartment area. If it was literally an extra inch or two, I could not fit her in sideways and would be SOL.
I can get the 1700 in with my jets but there would be no way to transport more than one 1700 at a time, no doubt about it.
A rack sounds like a great idea!
|Aug 14, 2012, 12:49 AM
I have to put my 1700mm P51 sideways in the bed of my Silverado while having 3 jets (Su, euro, fa18e) in the cab. It takes up the full width of the bed and about half the length but sticks out over the tailgate a lil. I could probably get another 1700mm at the back end of my pickup bed, but it'll be tight. They are big!
|Aug 14, 2012, 01:06 AM
thanks for the feedback guys
|Aug 14, 2012, 03:43 AM
The other thing that will help to reduce the severe left turn on takeoff is to not use WOT.
|Aug 14, 2012, 04:28 AM
Does anyone know if these:
are 'corsair' (rotating) ones? Because they look more like the P51/P47 ones...
|Aug 14, 2012, 05:38 AM
They are, Corsair ones would have to rotate.
|Aug 14, 2012, 06:12 AM
Those dont say that they are for the corsair and the pix is certainly of the 51/47 gear. Even if FMS uses the same actuator on all three the corsair gear would have to have the rotating mechanism/linkages there. Go back to Aros' pic of his gear and you will see what I mean.
|Aug 14, 2012, 06:21 AM
Thanks guys. That's what I thought.
Will have to wait....
|Aug 14, 2012, 09:42 AM
I posted a couple of vids on my "Utility" pg. showing them in comparison with the 514's and the E-Flite 60-120's if you want to see them in action.
|Aug 14, 2012, 10:34 AM
I am kindof waiting for the corsair retracts, as they might me a nice alternative for the eflites that I would need for my H9 corsair.
Also, I killed one of the eflites in my FMS 1400 corsair.... so now I am grounded with my all time favourite plane....
|Aug 14, 2012, 12:12 PM
|Aug 14, 2012, 12:57 PM
I sent it in and sort of expect them to replace the retract alright. And thats nice. But it still means I have no retract now.
Could buy a replacement, but before I have that one in my hands, it will be at least a week. Which means i'll be buying a retract for 1 week of use.
I am considering buying a spare set of them... but they're expensive! I'd rather buy something a little less expensive for that purpose.

The rain cooperated to let Derek Jeter play his final game at Yankee Stadium. Thank God, the Yankees needed the tarp for Suzyn Waldman. The Yankees presented Jeter with a replica of the Yankee Stadium on-deck circle. He is going to put it outside his house and instead of pine tar rags and donuts there will be lingerie and gift baskets. I don't really care for his final lap around Fenway. I do agree with Olbermann that I think he should have bowed out of playing in Fenway. With that said (reversal time!), sometimes stars get grooved pitches on their final retirement jaunt. I grabbed Jeter two days ago in my leagues just in case that happens, and so far, so good. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yesterday was the first day of autumn; this demands a poem. I call this, "Naked Prince Fielder Has The Definition Of Melted Tootsie Rolls." The passing of summer; it's a total bummer. Word, word, word; man, I've gotten dumber. Michael Brantley was da bomb; Napoli's mom has got it going on. Jose Abreu would've been a sweet draft pick; Frank Thomas sued him for copyright infringement. Kershaw's FIP is 1.87 on all hitters; Sonny Gray's got selective dyslexia, using my teams for his personal shitter. Everything will be okay in this final week; Avisail Garcia is on a streak! Garcia went deep twice yesterday for his 6th and 7th homers. If he's out there, of course you grab him. I'd prefer to talk about Avisail Garcia for 2015 fantasy baseball. He was a preseason sleeper this year, and he will be again in fifteen-after-twenty because he missed five months this year with an injury. Yes, he looks like Miggy, but he doesn't act like Miggy. He's a 20/20 type guy without killing you on average. In this injury-plagued year, his stats don't look exactly as he has in the past, but that's probably due to shutting it down in April and starting it up in August. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years we look back at this year and see how it didn't portend anything. Unless he really did learn how to take a walk, as he's shown this year. Though, I kinda doubt it. I expect he's a line drive machine, 17-20 homer and 15-steal guy with a solid-enough average. Think what you were expecting from Brantley, rather than what you ended up with. Now smoke a spliff! Oh, wait, I stopped rhyming about ten lines ago. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
The end is here, and the needs of the few take precedence over the many. If you're playing for the championship in your H2H league, then you need this. If you are in the hunt for your roto title, then this is for you. If you're playing for fifth place, well… then better luck next year. Your title may come down to one stolen base, one home run or a few extra RBI's to edge out your opponent. A batty call today is gone tomorrow, and a new one comes in and takes the others place. I'm still going to keep the % owned low, but be aware of who has been dropped as other owners become desperate and have to drop a "stud" who has been cold to the free agent pool. Either way I'm throwing my Creepers out there like the Amigos threw the villagers at El Guapo's gang at the end of the Three Amigos. I like the music for more dramatic effect.Please, blog, may I have some more?
As the MLB season comes to a close, you probably have lost interest in your season long leagues, and DFS at DraftKings is all you have left. Even focusing on MLB is a challenge with the NFL back in the loop; but there is money to be made, and if you don't like money well then stop reading now. I have a love/hate relationship with Thursday MLB slates. They are usually very short which means there are not a lot of options. On the flip side, it is easier to focus on certain games and make better choices. Today is an interesting day as there are a lot of "fringe" aces on the mound, and a lot of "crap" pitchers too – so there should be some great value hitting wise. PS kudos to anyone who got the Three Six Mafia title reference.

After Rafael Soriano once again looked like his apologetic alter ego, Sorry-yo, Matt Williams said the Nats won't have a set closer. Let's backtrack to August 18th, it was a day after the fourth time Soriano had given up runs in the matter of two weeks. At that point, I wrote there was a problem, and I grabbed Drew Storen. That was three weeks ago, and things haven't gotten better. So, why was I able to spot there was a problem with Soriano three weeks prior to the Nationals manager, Matt Williams? Terrific question. There's a few possible reasons A) Matt Williams's Oakleys are worn to shield TV cameras from showing he's actually asleep. B) Matt Williams can't find steroids that make him smarter. C) There's no C. D) In a secret meeting in Bud Selig's wood-paneled basement in Milwaukee in 1999, Major League Baseball declared that every team must have at least one Mark McGwire. Matt Williams was elected to be Arizona's Mark McGwire. (Sosa was elected to be the Cubs' McGwire, which is why he bleached his skin.) The experiment to have a McGwire on every team was a success at first, but soon the players that were elected to be McGwire began to say, "I'm not here to talk about the past," every time any question was asked. The biggest offender of this was Matt Williams, so, rather than risk being found out, MLB made him the Nats manager. Any of these reasons could be right, but it's probably D. So, with Soriano in trouble, the Nats could go to Storen, Tyler Clippard or Matt Thornton. My guess is it'll go in that order, and yesterday Storen got the clean save, helping his case. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
For those who don't understand the headline reference, it's a Sopranos episode title. A very crucial episode that causes a ripple effect on how the show ends. How does this relate to DraftKings today? Well technically it doesn't, but Ian Kennedy can cause a ripple effect on your team today, since he is my top pitching option tonight. Unfortunately we are a day late on Verlander or I could have had a field day with him and his nude pics – speaking of which, am I the only one who thinks Kate Upton is overrated? Her body is shaped like Kendrys Morales with smaller boobs. With that out the way, lets focus on some DFS – we only got 8 games tonight and some good pitchers on the mound, so I will focus on hitters mainly.

I'm taking my chips and going home from the DFS season. What a ride it's been making some good calls, some bad calls and sometimes the occasional really confusing link. This will be it for me in the land of milk and money. All $4.75 of my winnings to show for the hours on end I have spent looking at this maddening game called daily fantasy. Fortunately for me I got a break from the guys at DraftKings and they made Andrew Cashner ($6,600) way Way WAY too cheap today and I'm going to bounce on this like a kid in an inflatable castle. Speaking of inflatable things I saw this the other day. That is just all kinds of wrong. Cashner stepped up to his old self in his last outing by going 6, striking out 8 and walking zero…against the Dodgers. Now I get that the Dodgers have been all kinds of hot garbage lately but they still have bats that can hurt you bad. Today he gets a team of WTF in the Diamondbacks and I don't see Cash letting them small ball him into a blow-up. Play this one with complete faith that I won't screw you over as I'm out the door. He's a solid guy at home against a team with nothing to fear. Trust me!

The other day I talked about the dark underbelly of roster expansion and how, due to teams not DL'ing their players, it can actually hurt us in this thing we call life. Well, some of us call it fantasy baseball instead of life. Some of the less obsessed of us. To those people, I ptooey in your direction. If you're not completely obsessed over your hobby, let me say this… Get a new hobby! The national pastime's pastime? Maybe if you're a stutterer! This shizz is more like the national pastime's full-time, 24/7 job like taking care of your uncle who has been lying on your sofa for a month because your aunt started dating a guy she met on Tinder! "Uncle Frank, maybe you put on sweatpants so I can have company." No, Uncle Frank won't put on sweatpants, just like you won't have company until you find another first baseman to replace Anthony Rizzo. Uncle Frank is comfortable in his gotchies! Are you kapeeshing me? So, Rizzo has a muscle strain, and the Cubs said they would DL him if the rosters hadn't expanded, but instead they're going to let Anthony Rizzo slice garlic really thin — so thin it melts when it hits the pan — while he whittles away the year on the bench. Sadly, you have to move on to another first baseman in redraft leagues. You can't count on him the rest of the season. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

All year Bruce Stinksteen has been behind "Born to Run" Billy Hamilton, Todd Frazier, who's classically rocking out and Learning to Fly, and Devin "Is That Your Face Or Are You Wearing Wax Lips?" Mesoraco, who had a breakout season. And, here, Jay Bruce is less appetizing than sitting across from Bruce Jenner when it's humid. Hard to know where the bottom is. Problem people find when speculating on stocks. Same problem with fantasy baseball. Yesterday, Bruce went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts while his team scored seven runs. He's now hitting .218. But is that the bottom and he'll turn things around in the final month? Or will he hit .150 in the final month and make you wish you owned some hot schmotato? The hell you say if I know. Depends a bit on your league, and I've been telling people to hold Bruce and wait for the turnaround, but if Steve Pearce or Adam Eaton or some other hot schmotato is on your waivers, I can understand moving on. Let Bruce loose, turnabout is fair play. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

As the phone company, they are very tight with security. Many strict access protocols, network verification procedures, etc. Not really a con, but something to consider.
Their HR process is inefficient, like many large companies.
Also could benefit from more diversity (age, background, etc.). But they are trying to improve this.Advice to ManagementAdvice

We have a java/jruby webapp running under tomcat, and I have been analyzing the number of objects and memory use by the app during runtime. I have noticed after startup the class "org.jruby.RubyString" had 1,118,000 instances of the string "", the total amount of heap memory used by empty strings alone is 65mb, this to me is ridiculous because it is 15% of the memory used by the webapp. The empty string is only one example of many string values with this problem, if I can intern all the jruby strings I worked out I could save about 130mb.
I know in Java, each time when a string value is created, it will check if the value already exists in the string pool and reuse it if it does. I am wondering if there is an option in Jruby that has the same optimization? if so, how do I enable it?
Example in Jruby:
v1 = "a"
v2 = "a"
puts v1.object_id # => 3352
puts v2.object_id # => 3354
Example in Java:
String v1 = "a";
String v2 = "a";
System.out.println(v1.hashCode()); # => 97
System.out.println(v2.hashCode()); # => 97

Actually,I already do some of this. I'm semi-vegetarian, so I only eat poultry and fish for meats. Black bean burgers are actually pretty good. I've had them before a lot.
It's not as hard as you think to go meatless for a day, and for me, going semi-vegetarian isn't that bad. Because turkey is better for you, there are so many turkey options that you won't miss your beef or pork much at all.
By now, it's been long enough since I've actually eaten pork or beef that I get sick when I eat it, so I don't have much incentive to do so.
by Pauline07 on 4/11/2013 10:45:53 PM
Actually @Topaz1116 there are many different types of vegetarians. Some vegetarians eat eggs and other dairy products (lacto-ovo) and some eat fish. (Pescetarian) others eat poultry and not fish or meat (pollotarian) there are so many different types of vegetarians out there and many are misinformed about it. I am a pescetarian and that's how I get my protein. From tuna and salmon. A 6 oz can of tuna actually has 40 grams of protein.

Vegan for life! Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any way. Go veg!
by phoebeanne on 4/11/2013 5:50:46 PM
@topaz1116 I'm the same as you! I don't eat meat and eggs I was vegan for half a year but I had to stop for medical reasons

im already vegetarian, is anyone else? is anyone vegan?

My fave dish is probably green curry...

And @kikikim8, SALMON IS NOT VEGETARIAN!!!
by topaz1116 on 9/8/2012 6:38:58 PM
I've been veggie with no eggs (but I'm not vegan, I still drink milk) my whole life and if you know what they did to the animals, you'd wanna be one too. They drive bars through cow's heads at the most HUMANE factories. They make hens lay eggs nonstop and when they can't lay anymore, they kill them. It's sickening...
by topaz1116 on 9/8/2012 6:38:17 PM
And instead of a beef burger ... try a salmon burger!

Hexcel Announces Plan To Call Remaining Senior Subordinated Notes
Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) (Paris: HXL) announced that it plans to redeem its remaining $73.5 million 6.75% senior subordinated notes on June 25, 2012 at a call premium of 1.125%. The senior subordinated notes are due on February 1, 2015. The redemption and related costs will be funded solely from a $75 million add-on to Hexcel's revolving loan facility that was just completed, increasing the $285 million facility to $360 million. The facility matures in July 2015.
The total transaction costs, including the 1.125% call premium, bank fees and related expenses, will be almost $1.5 million. Hexcel expects interest expense will decrease in the first year by nearly $3 million. Hexcel will accelerate the unamortized financing costs related to the notes and expense the call premium incurring a pretax charge of $1.1 million (after tax of $0.01 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2012.
Additionally, the Company entered into interest rate hedges that expire March 2014 to swap the floating LIBOR on the $75 million revolver increase for a fixed rate of 0.67%. As a result, the interest rate for the additional revolver loan will be 2.67% through March 2014.
Hexcel Corporation is a leading advanced composites company. It develops, manufactures and markets lightweight, high-performance structural materials, including carbon fibers, reinforcements, prepregs, honeycomb, matrix systems, adhesives and composite structures, used in commercial aerospace, space and defense and industrial applications.
