The fourth season of Mad Men is in full swing, exploring
the aftermath of the creation of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce and the
dissolution of the Draper marriage.Richard Drew, Danielle Robinson, and Catie Cambria—to provide their takes on all the sex, the clothes, and of course, the drama.They weigh in on this week's episode, in which an agency-wide meeting shakes up Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.

Richard Drew (TV producer and creator of the blog Remote Patrolled): Tough times at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce this week as the lost Lucky Strikes account puts the fledging company on the verge of financial ruin. And of course when the pressure's on people's true natures are revealed.
For Don that meant a return to his womanizing ways, this time hooking up with his latest secretary Megan (sleeping with the boss seems to be a requirement for being Don's assistant). I actually debated with my partner why these women seemed so intent on hooking up with Draper—and then moments later received my answer—in the shape of Sterling's wife (and former Draper secretary), Jane, reclining on her sofa, now a lady of leisure.
And speaking of Roger, it was interesting how weak he became when backed into a corner, lying to his colleagues and turning once again to his soul-mate, Joan. Over the course of a season Sterling has gone from an advertising world "legend" to a company punch line. As Cooper correctly observed, Lucky Strike didn't take him seriously, as he never took himself seriously. A key theme of this season has been the crumbling of the old icons.
And then there was Peggy, still saddled with the loathsome director Stan, who allowed her to make an entire Playtex presentation with smudged lipstick on her teeth. But I was most surprised by Peggy's nonchalant reaction after the truth was revealed. I was expecting fireworks but Peggy simply shrugged the incident off, displaying a maturity in the face of pressure not shown by her (male) colleagues. I can't wait for the day when Peggy gets to call the shots...
Catie Cambria (fashion publicist at Donna Karan New York): Isn't it delightfully ironic that the only one who seems blissfully unaware to SCDP's crumbling is Peggy? The episode opens with her fresh off the beach, looking lovely and undone when the scorned Abe appears in Joyce's car. She beds him and refuses to let him to leave until she has him again, and even submits to having sex with him in the office after she hears the news about Lucky Strike. Where is the anxious, workaholic Peggy we know and love? Regardless, it's refreshing to a see a character on this show do something unexpected, especially since this episode reminded us that Don will continue to be Don and Roger will continue to be Roger.
We all knew after last week's episode what the Beatles fade-out music and Don's longing glance at Megan signified. I was only surprised by her brazen pursuit of Don after-hours, and how quickly he submits to it. Megan talks about herself as "artist," though her description of makes her sound more so like a dilettante. Megan usually seems like the pretty, helpful secretary; in the scene with Don, she never seemed less pretty or more desperate. I even felt her clothes, which are usually impeccable, looked cheap and garish (the orange and hot pink blouse made me cringe.)

Researchers say 'pass-thoughts' are the future of computer logins
Although we are currently working our way into the era of accurate voice print and eye scan verifications, text passwords remain the primary means for securing our data. Now, a new research project has come up with a device that leapfrogs all the aforementioned methods and offers possibly the most secure password of them all: a thought.
Led by John Chuang of the UC Berkeley School of Information, the team of researchers recently introduced a way to authenticate identity via electroencephalograms (EEGs). The experimental method is termed as using a "pass-thought" instead of a text password. Using the Neurosky Mindset headset, the team was able to successfully identify themselves to a computer via Bluetooth during a series of experiments.
Specifically, the experiment's subjects were asked to imagine a series of select actions, such as singing a particular song or imaging a set of objects of a particular color. These pass-thoughts enabled the participants to repeatedly identify themselves to the computer.
According to the research group, despite the futuristic sound of set-up, the use of brainwaves for password authentication could rapidly become a cheap and easy security measure in the near future. In the study group's research paper titled "I Think, Therefore I Am: Usability and Security of Authentication Using Brainwaves," they concluded, "brainwave signals, even those collected using low-cost non- intrusive EEG sensors in everyday settings, can be used to authenticate users with high degrees of accuracy."

> NSW transport plan could derail high speed trains...
Media releases 2012
NSW transport plan could derail high speed trains for decades says report
Release Date: 27/08/2012
The NSW Government's rail transport plan could be putting the future of a High Speed Rail network in jeopardy, according to a report released today by the NSW Business Chamber and Sydney Business Chamber.
The report,
Liveable Sydney: How would High-Speed Rail Change Sydney and NSW?
, commissioned by the NSW and Sydney Business Chambers and prepared by the Tipping Point Institute, sets out six recommendations to improve outcomes from the disparate planning mechanisms set up by the Federal and NSW Governments.
"Integrating High Speed Rail into Sydney's existing rail network is the most cost effective option to reduce the significant construction costs of a High Speed Rail network linking Newcastle, Sydney and Canberra, and ultimately Melbourne and Brisbane," said Stephen Cartwright, CEO of the NSW Business Chamber.
"We believe an integrated approach could cut the cost of High Speed Rail by between $10 to $15 billion dollars."
"However, the NSW Government's plans for rapid transit operation of the North-West Rail Link and a second Sydney Harbour rail crossing could very well lock out the most cost-effective way of delivering both a High Speed Rail network through Sydney's CBD and Sydney's rail network itself.
"This is not about being opposed to the North West Rail Link – far from it. It is about ensuring the right operating model is in place to cope with the growing demands of Sydney and its fringes.
"This report shows that High Speed rail is not only about servicing intercity travellers – which of course remains a fundamental requirement of High-Speed Rail – but it can also help outer-suburban commuters more easily access Sydney's employment areas, thereby improving travel times and minimising congestion.
"High Speed Rail should not be the domain of the Federal Government alone. While Canberra may control the purse strings, Macquarie Street controls the existing network and the land corridors, and has to respond to the challenges of housing affordability and congestion.
"The NSW Government needs to take the benefits of a High Speed Rail network into consideration when pursuing the state's transport plan. We don't want to see an outcome where a Sydney-centric focus closes the door on the most cost effective way to deliver High Speed Rail."
Patricia Forsythe, Executive Director of the Sydney Business Chamber said that by increasing accessibility to Sydney's CBD from areas on Sydney's fringes and beyond, we increase the supply of liveable land available for housing, which would also be part of addressing Sydney's housing affordability and supply issues.
"High Speed Rail, done correctly, could fundamentally transform the way Sydney operates as a city. By integrating High Speed Rail into the CityRail network, it will provide a higher quality and faster train service for communities on Sydney's outer fringe.
"A High Speed Rail network that eventually links Sydney with Canberra, Newcastle, Melbourne and Brisbane would have a positive impact on Sydney's carbon footprint and reduce demand for more air services between our major cities".
The report makes six recommendations:
A single transport vision for Sydney out to 2061 should be developed by the NSW and Federal Governments.
The Federal and NSW Governments should integrate high-speed rail services with the Sydney suburban rail network as the initial solution until separate high-speed rail infrastructure can be economically justified.
The NSW Government should revise its recent rail plan,
Sydney's Rail Future,
to ensure it does not prevent high-speed rail from travelling through the Sydney CBD as a result of limiting the second harbour crossing and North West Rail Link to rapid transit rail.
The NSW Government needs to shift the focus of land use and transport planning from measuring proximity to a transport service to measuring total journey time, to better reflect 'liveability'.
The NSW Government should include high-speed rail as part of its
Sydney Metropolitan Plan
Long Term Transport Master Plan
State Infrastructure Strategy
to help address housing affordability and journey time issues.
The NSW and Federal Governments should form a joint steering committee charged with determining the design and operation of high-speed rail through Sydney to feed into the Federal Government's feasibility study on high-speed rail.

Composer/Arranger. I was first introduced to Gay Pearson with her svelte string sextet arrangement of Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise" on Tyrone Brown's Song of the Sun. That is actually a reprise on an arrangement of the same piece for Pearson's own release, Alone, Independent and Unresolved. Both arrangements are quite excellent, as is the rest of Alone, Independent and Unresolved.
Pearson plays with a classically trained, deliberate style that is rhythmically sophisticated, idea-rich, and readily accessible. Ahmad Jamal's Fly Away" is almost a popular music romp with high-wire digitation. Pearson squeezes out one of the freshest Well, You ...read more
Mainstream jazz sometimes involves risk-taking. Trade fours with the drummer, turn the bassist loose on almost every number, and concentrate on what you want to say with the piano. But each artist stretches as he sees fit. Let's have a round of applause for the bassist, Tyrone Brown!
Gay Pearson's piano trio resembles the group you'll find at most local jazz clubs and lounges. On this, her third CD, they perform with a quaint manner that you'd love, either in person or on compact disc. Complete information may be found at Gay Pearson's web site .

Mitch Einertson brought home the go-ahead run to give the Wichita (5-3) the lead in the eighth inning, as the Wichita hung on to beat the Gary SouthShore (4-4) 3-1 on Friday.Ryan Khoury to start the eighth. He then went from first to third on a double by Jake Kahaulelio. Finally, Einertson came to the plate with the Wichita trailing by one in the eighth inning, and reached on an error, plating Khoury and Kahaulelio.
Josh Lowey picked up the win for the Wichita . Lowey pitched seven innings and allowed one earned run, three hits and three walks while striking out five.
Chad Rhoades ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with his first loss of the year. He lasted just two-thirds of an inning, walked one, struck out none, and allowed three runs.
The fifth inning saw the Gary SouthShore score their only run on the day when Chris Carrara was hit by a pitch.
The game's last lead went to the Wichita thanks to a eighth inning rally that saw three runs cross the plate on a two-run error and an RBI single by CJ Ziegler.

SPINA, Afghanistan — Every morning in this mountain village in eastern Afghanistan, four dozen girls sneak through a square opening in a mud-baked wall, defying a Taliban edict.
A U.S.-funded girls school about a mile away was shuttered by insurgents in 2007, two years after it opened. They warned residents that despite a new government in Kabul and an international aid effort focused on female education, the daughters of Spina were to stay home. For a while, they all did.

Document - Bulgaria: Investigations into alleged excessive use of force during Sofia protests must be prompt and thorough
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC STATEMENT AI Index: EUR 15/001/2013 1 August 2013
Bulgaria: Investigations into alleged excessive use of force during Sofia protests must be prompt and thorough Today Amnesty International wrote to the Bulgarian Minister of Interior, Tsvetlin Yovchev, and to the Prosecutor General, Sotir Tsatsarov, to express concerns about allegations of excessive use of force by police officers against protesters, on 23 July, outside the Bulgarian Parliament. Amnesty International urges the Bulgarian authorities to conduct a prompt, independent, thorough and effective investigation into all such allegations, and to bring anyone responsible for human rights violations to justice.
Protests have been going on in Sofia since 14 June calling for the resignation of the current government over allegations of corruption and early elections. Although generally peaceful, serious incidents of violence were reported on the evening of 23 July between protesters and police forces.
According to media reports and the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee (BHC), an NGO monitoring the protests, on 23 July at around 10.00 pm the police attempted to evacuate the 100 ministers and MPs who were being prevented from leaving the Parliament building by the protesters. During the operation, the police officers allegedly beat protesters indiscriminately, without being provoked or attacked by protesters. BHC monitors present at the protests have stated that the police issued no warning or prior request to protesters to make space for officials wishing to leave the Parliament building. While 17 people have been injured and reportedly sought medical help at hospitals, according to the BHC, dozens other people are reported to have been hit and pushed around by police officers.
According to information published by Reporters without Borders, five journalists were physically attacked by police officers. One of them was reportedly brought to the ground with kicks while filming violence by police officers and suffered serious injuries and internal bleeding. The other reporters were either hit in the torso and in the head, with batons and truncheons. In three cases, journalists reported that the police either destroyed or confiscated their equipment.
According to a statement issued on 25 July, the Sofia Regional Prosecutor has initiated an investigation to assess the allegations of excessive use of force. The Bulgarian Ombudsman has also written to the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Interior requesting comprehensive and complete information and requesting an investigation into the events of the 23 July.
Amnesty International welcomes the announced investigations and reminds the Bulgarian authorities that under international human rights law, the use of force by the police must be proportionate, lawful and necessary. The policing of demonstrations should be carried out in a manner that complies with international law and standards, including the duty to exercise restraint, to act in proportion to the seriousness of the offence and the legitimate objective to be achieved, to minimize damage and injury, and to respect and preserve human life.
Amnesty International calls on the General Prosecutor to ensure that prompt, independent, thorough and effective investigations are carried out into the complaints registered as well as into all other cases of allegations of excessive use of force by police.
Amnesty International also calls on the Bulgarian authorities to ensure that, in the context of the continuing protests in Sofia, the policing of demonstrations complies at all times with their international human rights law obligations and with international standards on policing, including the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials.

|I have a fairly large open area in my front yard, on the north side of our lot that gently slopes upwards. The slope, then, would be south-facing, and gets pretty much all sun all the time. As you can see in the photos, I have lots of other water-wise/Calif natives on this slope (with the exception of some roses down by the driveway on their own drip), and I'd like to do a nice planting of Calif natives cascading down the slope. I know I want Ceanothus and Manzanitas, just not quite sure which varieties. I'm defintely going to put 3 Ceanothus 'Ray Hartman' starting at the very top, but then, not sure after that. Maybe Ceanothus 'Tuxedo', and I am hearing?? about another new cultivar, Ceanothus 'Midnight Magic', which I can't find any info on. I would like the plants to sort of scale down in height as I come down the slope, with the larger, taller specimens up higher (hence the 'Ray Hartman' at the top). Any suggestions? White, blues and pinks all welcome, a variety of blooming times also a plus. Other plant material suggestions also very welcome. I plan on hand-watering to establish, and then I may run a drip line I can keep turned off, and only water this grouping maybe once every 3 weeks or so during the summer if it gets really warm, so I can water these natives as they prefer, and not "over-love" them :-) The area is about 50 feet long and about 18 feet wide - larger and longer than the photos make it appear.

|I, myself, would have to include cistus...for its toughness, beauty and scent and many, many of the native salvias are quite nice..penstemons....

|Thanks, gypsy. I do have cistus towards the front of the slope up against the street. 3 large specimens that are suffering (the 4th has already died), and neither I nor my gardener can figure it out. We're going to try more water (they get zero additional water right now), so I'm a little leery of trying cistus right now until I can resolve my current issues. Have lots and LOTS of salvias - about 10 different varieties right now on this slope, along with lots of different cupheas and several penstemons (my fav) plus Calif. Fuschias, Dragons Tail, too. Plus about 10-15 other different specimens too many to name. What I'm trying to achieve in this area is more of a cascad effect with growth habit: tall upright, to mounding to prostrate as I work from top to bottom. I know I can do that with different Ceanothus hybrids, as well as different Manzanitas. But, I might think about a lower cistus. Just wish they were "tough" for me. Right now, large portions of my cistus are appearing as those they suddenly got scorched, and all leaves in large sections are turning brown and dropping suddenly. We've checked for gophers - no mounds or any evidence of gopher activity at all. Really anywhere in my yard which is extremely unusual for my area of California (N. San Diego County. We even have an area about 2 miles east of me called Gopher Canyon for good reason!) Just worried I'm going to lose the other 3. They are about 8' tall and very lovely. Or were last year :-(
|That's a gorgeous landscape already! Is that salvia apiana in the distance there? I was in SD recently and noticed a lot of it. Is there any artemisia tridentata? It has beautiful gray foliage, fits right in, and the foliage smells great.
And I saw brahea armata all over San Diego...it grows incredibly slowly so you might have to spring for a more mature specimen, but I saw it in bloom once in Santa Barbara...wow.
I've actually never seen these in person, but hyptis emoryi (desert lavender) and pitcher plant (lepechinia fragrans) might be right up your alley too! Google them!
|You have some very nice accent plants and I think some prostrate Arctostaphlos would be nice addition for much of your bare soil. Al

|Hah! Yes, way up at the top of the slope you can see some salvia apiana (White Sage). Needs to be trimmed up a wee bit. I have it in a few other places in my front yard, too, and I think it is a little more sensitive to lack of water than my other salvias. But, the flower stocks are worth it - pale whitish lavender and very delicate. What looks like artemesia is actually SILVER FEATHER, Tanacetum ptarmiciflorum. I thought it was an artemesia as well, but this great forum actually helped me ID it. I LOVE this plant, and I have several volunteers that are doing very nicely. It becomes this lovely, symmetrical silver ball, and then has lovely tiny white flowers that cover it for months. Just gorgeous. I may have some artemisia tridentata up on this slope - the previous owners were kind of on a silver theme which I really like. I have so many specimens up there I can't recall off the top of my head. Yes, lots of brahea armata out here (Mexican Blue Palm) which I have several of on the lower side of my front and side yard. Good suggestions for surrounding plant specimen choices, I'll keep those in mind!

|Your slope is my 'dream' garden layout. A gentle south facing slope which shows all the plants well. In my dream I have an artificial stream running from top to near bottom disappearing into the ground...
For 4 season interest don't forget winter growing South American bulbs like watsonias etc.
Buddleia will give you a tall blue gray shrub. Also consider the S.A. shrubs like Protea, Grevillea etc.
I think C. Tuxedo needs partial shade - I have mine but it's less than 1 year in place.
- Posted by hoosierquilt USDA 10 Sunset 23 SD (My Page) on Fri, Nov 19, 10 at 13:23
|Al, I totally agree, I've just got to figure out what Manzanita cultivars to select. I want showy flowers and berries. And Chad, I do have several Grevilleas all up the slope right at the street level and they are HUGE. I thought they looked so pretty and soft, and made the mistake of running my hand along the needle-like leaves. Ouch. That was a mistake :-) I might be able to tuck some lower Grevilleas or Protea along this swath up the hill. I want a similar look as a dry stream, but we're going to put in a winding walkway up this section, then continue making walking paths along this slope and a few benches. I'm going to put up plant markers, too, since we get asked so much from the neighbors what plants we have. Then my neighbors can just walk through and take notes. I'm also hoping I can get the garden spiffy enough to go on tour next year - we'll see. We still have a rather sizeable area in the back, on the south side of our yard fondly referred to as "The Jungle", as all our water drains down there. It IS a jungle, lol!! That will take some $$ and time to get squared away, but it's on the dockett for next year. I'm going to head over to Las Pilitas this Saturday and get their advice. Bummer about Tuxedo needing some shade - there pretty much isn't any in this area. I'm going to also ask them about a new Ceanothus hybrid 'Midnight Magic' and see about that one, too. Would LOVE dark foliage if I can get it & it tolerates the full sun. Hope I don't warp my pocketbook to badly, lol!! Thanks for all the great advice!

|I was in New Zealand recently and saw a small NZ flax that has pretty flowers on it. I plan to look for it for my garden.
Yesterday I saw a creeping plant in the Protea family that has pink and red flowers. It is never watered (after established) and has a beautiful feathery foliage. Local nurseries carry it.
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Fri, Nov 19, 10 at 16:16
|Your garden is beautiful, and it sounds like you have a perfect plan. I would love to see it after you find and plant the right ceanothus. I agree that the dark foliage would be just right.
|Apologies but I misspoke about C. tuxedo, sun is fine; however it is less drought tolerant than other native ceanothus.
- Posted by kelpmermaid 10S24 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 19, 10 at 20:55
|For lower-growing plants, what about Bee's Bliss sage? The ceanothus cultivar that comes to mind is Yankee Point or the one I just planted, I think it's Point Reyes. Are you open to red at all? A lower growing version of a CA fuchsia like Everett's Choice would give you hummingbird action and late color.
- Posted by hoosierquilt USDA 10 Sunset 23 SD (My Page) on Fri, Nov 19, 10 at 21:38
|kelpmermaid, I'll check out the Bee's Bliss Sage, not familiar with that one. Yankee Point is on the list. You'll see that everywhere in Oceanside, in public plantings (someone working for the city must know their native plants!) and it does extremely well out here. I have several Calif. Fuschia up by the street, and there are always a consideration as I have a gazillion Anna hummers in my yard. They would always appreciate more options :-) Thanks, all good suggestions!
Patty S.
|Lots of beautiful manzanitas out there...look on the Las Pilitas site, they list a huge variety of them, with pictures and all. Keep in mind that arctostaphylos definitely needs careful watering through the first couple of summers, although once established they're great.
Also, how about western redbud (cercis occidentalis)? It's one of those plants that looks really delicate but is actually tough as nails and incredibly drought tolerant. Gorgeous pink flowers in spring and red seedpods in fall.
- Posted by kelpmermaid 10S24 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 20, 10 at 11:57
|Thinking white to pink-ish, there are some versions of native buckwheats that might be of interest, too, particularly if you are coastal. Have you checked those out?
|I agree on the Bee's Bliss. I'm very happy with the way it spreads....
- Posted by hoosierquilt USDA 10 Sunset 23 SD (My Page) on Sat, Nov 20, 10 at 19:54
|Okay, spent an hour and a half at Las Pilitas. In the lovely gentle rain. The sage and artemisia smelled intoxicating it was so strong! Had a great consultation with Jereny Sison of Artemisia Landscape Architecture, www.artemisia-la.com. What a sharp guy. Have a LONG list of plant suggestions as well as a hand-drawn planting schematic for the front slope, along with a general idea of where to put the walking path. Jeremy specializes in Calif. natives, so his list is all CA natives, which I can add to with some drought-resistent non-natives for some different looks. Here's the short list (as you all know, it NEVER stays this short, lol!):
Salvia 'Vicki Romo'
So, that's the short list for now! We'll be putting these in over the winter, since there's a pretty large amount of planting to be done. We'll probably tackle it in groupings, breaking it up into 5 or 6 groupings and try to lay out a walking path best we can.
Thanks, everyone! I'll try to post photos as we go. It's a big project, and only one of 4 we want to complete in the yard. Then, the yard will be completely done and just in "maintenance" mode, I hope!!

|i really like the contrasting foliage of Arctostaphylos 'Pacific Mist' and 'John Dourley'. they look amazing planted together w/ Artemisia californica 'Canyon Gray'.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pete
- Posted by hoosierquilt 9A/Sunset 24 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 20, 10 at 17:59
|Hi Pete! Should have asked on the GWN Yahoo list! I'll check these two out. I'm better with Ceanothus than Manzanitas, so I'll see about these and squeeze them in. I have a lot of room on this slope, so I'll see about picking up these two. I do have some Canyon Gray up there - one of those plants I NEVER water or pay attention to, as it is just so good on its own. Great suggestion.

Who's Hot?
Massachusetts (+6): Still unbeaten after beating Boston University and Iona this week, the only thing holding the Minutewmen back is the lack of a defining win over a top team. There's a good chance they'll be able to win out leading up to a March 25th date against Northwestern, and if that't the case, that'll be a big one.
Happy Birthday to women's lacrosse player Katie Ferris and women's soccer player Jess Howe!
There were about two dozen University of Massachusetts women's lacrosse players on the field at McGuirk Alumni Stadium yesterday afternoon - clad in all of the typical attire they would wear to a pre-season practice. They had all of their usual playing equipment with them, too - and they jockeyed their lacrosse balls back and forth and maneuvered around the field.
But for a few moments at yesterday's practice, members of the squad took respite to help deliver a unified message: bullying needs to stop.
They, along with other students and athletes at UMass, participated yesterday in a campaign put together by the ABC TV show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" that strives to curb bullying. The show, which travels around the country to build new homes in a week for families with compelling stories, is in the greater Pioneer Valley area this week to build a home for the family of Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, an 11-year-old Springfield boy who hanged himself in 2009 after enduring severe bullying.
Happy Belated Birthday Wishes: August 4- Ali Houlis & Igor Garcia, August 5- K.R. Jurgelevich, August 6- Michael McDonough, August 7- Ryan Carter & Nicole Cordero
Happy belated birthday wishes to Ali Houlis of women's lacrosse and football's Igor Garcia! The two celebrated their birthday on August 4. Happy belated birthday to K.R. Jurgelevich of men's lacrosse who celebrated his birthday on August 5! Happy belated birthday to Michael McDonough of men's track! Michael celebrated his birthday on August 6. Happy belated birthday to football's Ryan Carter and field hockey's Nicole Cordero! Both, Ryan and Nicole celebrated their birthday on August 7.
Happy belated birthday wishes to Nina Sarcona of women's lacrosse and Shyrone Chatman of men's basketball who celebrated their birthday on July 31!
Happy Belated Birthday Wishes: July 21- Bryson Craft, Tanner Guarino and Shiyi Zan, July 22- Jesse O'Donnell and Jenna Goodwinn, July 25- Matthew Palasek and Jennifer Harkey
Happy belated birthday to Bryson Craft of men's lacrosse, Tanner Guarino of women's lacrosse, and Shiyi Zan of women's cross country/track who all celebrated their birthday on July 21. Happy belated birthday to Jesse O'Donnell of women's lacrosse and Jenna Goodwinn of women's soccer, the two celebrated their birthday on July 22. Finally, happy belated birthday to Matthew Palasek of men's lacrosse and Jennifer Harkey of women's cross country/track who celebrated their birthday July 25.
WALKER SAID: "I just try to play the game like I know how to play it and practicing and working hard has always paid off for me. Stats are not on my priority list. I don't even know how many goals I had this year. I think being a leader on the team is just as important. Ever since we made to the semifinals as sophomores we wanted to make it the finals, so [this season] had been in the works for a while. ... My size [5 feet 2] has always been a thing; people have always said she is so small. But all the coaches I have talked to always said 'you've always made yourself big.'"
Happy birthday to Lauren Terracciano of UMass women's lacrosse!
The girls' event features an opening ceremony Saturday, July 16 with a four-team round robin starting July 17. Eighty players from 25 states have been selected to four teams that will compete in three pool-play games before championship and consolation games on Tuesday, July 19. The girls' championship game will stream live at 2 p.m. ET July 19 on www.espn3.com.
Eight players in the girls' showcase are members of the U.S. under-19 women's national training team. The U.S. team will travel to Hannover, Germany, Aug. 3-13, to defend the world title at the Federation of International Lacrosse U19 Women's World Championships."

Is there one of these near Cincinnati? I'm up for the weekend and have time to kill before tomorrow's game.
Yes... Off I-275 (Colerain Avenue/US 27 exit. The stores and restaurants including Meijer, Olive Garden and Logan's Steakhouse are part of what's called Stonecreek Town Center.
The Milford Route 50 exit.
I've passed them, but I've never eaten there. I heard the wings are good. True?
They're approximately 90,000 times better than the BW3 wings. They actually have meat on them and cover their wings in sauce. I only go on Tuesday night (all you can eat).
I think the OP meant to type this into Google but entered it into the "submit new thread" box instead...
Regarding Quaker Steak specifically, I'm with Yahtzee, I prefer BW3 better myself, though its been a while since I've been to either.
Maybe its just me, but the thought of Quaker State Lube just isn't very appetizing. I get a mental image of frying fries in a vat of SAE 30 Weight.

Got Wings Can Fly (Xtwin related)
I have always been amazed by flying wings until one day I have decided to get some plan for one and gut one of my xtwin. The plan that I have choosen is a "chicky" flying wing (hope i got the name correct).
Sadly my modded classic trainer's has the strongest motor RPM. Thus, the innards are transferred to the wings that I made.
First was using balsa as material. It's my first attempt of model plane building, thus have no exp on how to estimate or guage if the material is situable in terms of weight and COG. Well, it flew only at the first 2 min after charge. Rest of the 8 mins or more, it's gliding just above ground like hovercraft. I considered it as a failed attempt and was utterly disappointed.
Three test flight to confirm it's a dud, I went back to the drawing board. Decide to use foam/depon to make another one. This time it's lighter. Went out to test and BINGO. It flew like an ace. It recover from turn fast. Superb gliding ability, center itself almost immediately after turning, climb on 1/2 throttle even during turn. Personnal opinion, it flew much better and more controllable comparing to Xtwin(sport)/AA(mono wing).
Love it.
Here are some pics, video will be uploaded soon once I get my friend to be cameraman.
Note, it's night flight ready. I can attach an led anytime to the little sockets I added near the two motors.

Hi BlindSpot,sorry but im a young boy(french) i speak english very well :s i have just one question:What does it need like motor?and servos?and size of propeller? sorry for my english :s

If you take that big heavy plastic case off of the receiver it will probably fly even better. Nice wing by the way, especially for a newbie builder.

Blind Spot,
Nice work. I hear the Dizzy Chick is a good design (as well as being inexpensive!).
This design might be a good flying wing to start with. It uses the motors, props and receiver from the inexpensive X-Twin toy RC planes or other similar toy planes. No need for actuators or servos (it varies the thrust of the motors for steering and just uses throttle for up/down control).
Here are the Dizzy Chick plans:

If not you need two motors with propellers, a receiver with can control the trust on the two individual motors. No servo is needed. Size of propeller is about 1.7-2 inches.
Anyway, I am pretty new to building planes, so other brothers and friends here will be able to help you on these. Do feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Thank you, yeah exactly. Using the guts from AA is the most inexpensive way to build a mini wing which is extremely controllable. Only tough part is to find the correct elevaon angle. Well I got it right at the first guess which is very lucky and have been sticking to that angle for both the balsa and foam version and works in lifting the wing.
Hope other have fun too making and flying this wing.
Well guess next step is to try to paint it and inprove on the cosmetics. Any suggestion for suitable paint for painting on foam?

X-twin/AA »Dizzy Chick«
I have to agree: The »Dizzy Chick« really is a great design!
The only mod I did on mine was adding 2 pieces of Depron to connect the "tailerons" with the winglets to provide some stiffness in that area.
Oh, and then I added a pair of SMD LED´s for night flying in front of the house (just soldered in parallel to the motors)...:

Blind Spot,
Colored "Sharpie" pens (permanent markers) work well (but its a bit of work to cover large areas). There are some foam-safe paints around (Krylon Fusion is one I know of). Some spray paint will eat depron/EPS foam, so test on a scrap piece if you aren't sure.
Your DC looks great. What did you use for the coloring?

Well, will search for the type of foam safe paint you mentioned. Thanks for the advice bro.
And yes, Claus' chick wing look wicked. Total coolness. Hope I can made mine as colorful and nice as his.
Hi Claus, greetings to you too from sunny island I am living in call Singapore.

Here's my (heavily used) "Dizzy Chick 2" try. I've made a couple of small changes to the original plan: 90 degree winglets for tighter turns; two identical body pieces for covering the electronics nicer; small reinforcements near the propelers (it breaks to easily there).

Hello everyone.
This is the first post I've made here, even though I've been looking at this site for 7 years!
My question is does anyone have a translated PDF plan for the "Dizzy Chick?"
I can read German, but only at a 1st grade level.

Did I understand right that the Dizzy Chick flies with wing elevation only, the wing itself isn't curved and provides (if any) close to no lift?
Has anybody tried building a flying wing out of X-Twin / AA -parts with a lift-generating wing? With a low wing loading, large wing area (ie. high lift) and low drag this could be an interesting experiment providing at best excellent glide characteritics.

I have found the plans for the Dizzy Chick but can not find the Dizzy Chick II.Someone please tell me , what is a Dizzy Chick II. Where is it told about or what a II is ?
Thank you.
