Is 'Just Label It' Controlled Opposition?
From the start, I thought it was a bit useless to petition the FDA to label genetically modified food.¬Ý There has been plenty of documented evidence of the FDA'Äôs charge forward onreleasing GMOs to the American public despite safety concern amongst FDA scientists when GMOs were first introduced into the food supply.
Regardless, I drank the Kool Aid that the Just Label It campaign was pouring.¬Ý Why not?¬Ý At least, it would be good for awareness.
When JLI submitted over 1 million signatures to the FDA asking them to label GMOs, and the¬ÝFDA only counted them as 394 official comments, the people got pissed.¬Ý What did you expect from the FDA?¬Ý Did anybody really think they would implement immediate GMO labeling?
I first became suspicious of the man behind JLI, Gary Hirshberg, CEO of Stoneyfield, when I heard him in a¬Ýradio interview¬Ýsay, 'ÄúThe national efforts [to label GMOs] ultimately will trump these state ones.'Äù¬Ý This was in July, 2012 when the California State Labeling Initiative, Prop 37, was really picking up steam.
Regarding Michael Taylor, the FDA food safety czar, who just happened to be the former VP of Monsanto, Hirshberg said, 'ÄúIt'Äôs not really fair to pick on Michael.¬Ý I happen to know Michael and he'Äôs a very good guy.'Äù¬Ý It'Äôs not really fair to unknowingly feed billions of people unsafe GMO food either, Gary.
Hirshberg Swapping Yogurt with the Obamas
Less than a month after this interview,¬ÝGary Hirshberg held a private fundraiser at his home¬Ýfor the re-election campaign of Barack Obama where Michelle Obama gave a speech.
Of course, Michelle Obama has promoted organic foods and even planted an organic garden on the white house lawn.¬Ý Hey, Gary.¬Ý When you saw her did you congratulate for that?¬Ý By the way, Gary'Ķ¬Ý Did you ask her why her husband put Michael Taylor as the head of FDA?¬Ý Did you ask her why her husband put Tom Vilsack,¬Ýwinner of the Biotech Governor of Year Award, as the USDA commissioner?¬Ý Did you ask her why at least¬Ýnine new genetically modified crops were approved during the last four years?¬Ý Did you ask why her husband¬Ýgave a $500,000 grant to the Canadian company developing genetically engineered fish¬Ýto keep them from going under?¬Ý Well, did you, Gary?
Or, Gary, did you ask him yourself?¬Ý You could have asked him last year when heappointed you part of his administration.¬Ý This just happened to come about the same time the Just Label It campaign was launched.
So, does anybody think that the head of Just Label It, who is campaigning the FDA to label GMOs, may have a conflict of interest also campaigning for the guy responsible for putting biotech whores at the heads of the FDA and USDA?
Can We AGree It Gets Worse?
While researching this information, I came across a group¬ÝAGree, which Gary Hirshberg is a co-chair of.¬Ý The underlying tone in the videos on the main page gives off the nasty stench of 'Äúco-existence'Äù.
One paper authored by this group titled, "The Challenge of Meeting Future Demand for Food" states:
'ÄúWe also need better information on how various technologies, agricultural system designs, and policy options fare across multiple policy objectives (i.e., increasing production and reducing environmental impact). In particular, we must expand our understanding of when and in which context to promote one or another approach, such as reduced or no tillage, precision agriculture,¬Ýthe use of transgenic crop cultivars, and/or agroecological approaches.'Äù
And, in 'ÄúChallenges and Strategies'Äù they, 'ÄúEncourage diversity and coexistence of farming systems.'Äù¬Ý When an organic crop is contaminated by a GMO crop it'Äôs not coexistence, it'Äôs food rape.
But, that information is suspect at worse.¬Ý Follow the money'Ķ
The Foundation Partners of AGree is almost a who's who list of the worldwide GMO pushers.
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation 'Äì Has given out¬Ýnumerous grants to develop new GMO crops, GE mosquitoes, and GE parasites, has relentlessly pushed the¬ÝGMO takeover of Africa, and has¬Ýinvested $27 million in Monsanto.
Rockefeller Foundation 'Äì Major funder (along with the Ford Foundation) of CGIAR, a group¬Ýwhose major purpose is to push and promote GMOs worldwide.¬Ý Authored a bizarre 'Äúdoomsday'Äù scenario paper promoting¬Ýhow GMOs could save the planet.
Ford Foundation 'Äì Helped fund (along with the Gates Foundation)¬Ýthe 'Äústudy'Äù out of Stanford University¬Ýclaiming there is no difference between organic and conventional food.
Packard Foundation 'Äì Funded a¬Ýsalmon farm in which the salmon are fed Dupont'Äôs GMO yeast.
Walton Family Foundation 'Äì Heirs of the Walmart fortune,¬Ýwhich will sell (or is selling) Monsanto'Äôs GMO sweet corn, unlabeled.
W.K. Kellogg Foundation 'Äì Funded by the Kellogg company who sells products loaded with GMOs and also¬Ýdonated $612,000 to the No on Prop 37 group.
McKnight Foundation 'Äì Dedicated¬Ý$41.5 million to GMO crop research¬Ýand said the outcry over GMO food was 'Äúa creation of the well-fed privileged classes in Europe and North America.'Äù
Stoneyfield and Gary Hirshberg Are Frauds
Why Stoneyfield, as well?¬Ý Stoneyfield'Äôs probiotic smoothie contains 38 grams of sugar.¬Ý That'Äôs over half a cup.¬Ý The probiotics are good bacteria.¬Ý Sugar feeds the bad bacteria.¬Ý That'Äôs just something I had to point out.
As for Gary, you could say he'Äôs ignorant or being played like a piece on a chessboard.¬Ý I don'Äôt think you can build a company the way he has and be that gullible.¬Ý I won'Äôt speculate on what his motivation may be, but it surely is not for the benefit of you and I.
Of course, his supporters will call this 'Äúin fighting'Äù.¬Ý I, personally, do not represent any group.¬Ý And, I'Äôm sure the honchos Hirshberg is 'Äúin'Äù with are not the same people Jeffrey Smith, Ronnie Cummins, Mike Adams, Robyn O'ÄôBrien, Joseph Mercola and Pamm Larry are 'Äúin'Äù with.
Label Your Mind
In conclusion, the whole point of this article is for you to take your power back.¬Ý You have the power, day in and day out, to avoid GMO food.¬Ý If you want to see a world without GMOs then, at a minimum, live your life without GMOs.¬Ý Nobody is waiting in the wings to save us.¬Ý The¬Ýcavalry isn'Äôt coming.¬Ý The¬Ýcavalry is here.¬Ý If you'Äôre still looking for your hero, check the mirror.

I started a doctor supervised weight loss program last week. I am back on track to losing weight. My doctor is also regulating my thyroid and hormones so that I can lose the weight and keep it off! I am looking forward to wearing a two piece bathing suit with pride this summer! I will post a picture when I get closer to my goal.
I have had a difficult time sticking with the program as I was putting together Career Day for my daughter's middle school. It was all over on the 14th. Talk about relief. I am back on the wagon and looking toward to bikini shape by summer!
The title says it all. Now I move on and try to lose some fat!
I am having a hard time sticking to the plan. I am going to get back into it because I have a new reason to get healthy. I may have breast cancer. I am going to have a cyst aspiration and possible biopsy on Thursday. I have been eating the 80% healthy diet but I haven't been exercising. So, today is a new day! I need to do this if I am going to beat the odds. I am not upset and I don't want to cry over something that I can't control. I am praying that God will see me through, whichever way it goes on Thursday. Keep me in your prayers and pray that I will follow through with the exercise.
I have been inconsistent lately. I am trying to get back on track. I am not gaining, but, I am not losing either. I need to get back to eating well again. I may even need to go totally organic and clean eating. I am getting a spot checked out on my breast. I am sure that the clean eating will help. I refuse to let this get me down! I see it as reminder to keep on doing what is best for my body so that I can have the best chance for success! So if there is anyone who can be my encourager out there, I need it. I need someone to bug me regularly to do the right thing. I hope and pray that everything is fine and I don't have to go through any of that lifechanging treatment. But, if I do have to go through that, I am confident that my God can get me through it and provide a healing so complete that I will be able to say " God is great!".

Looks like BET has a hit on its hands. Tuesday's fourth season premiere of The Game brought in 7.7 million viewers, the network told TVGuide.com.
The big number is a win for both BET and the show, which is getting a second chance at life on the cable network. The CW canceled the half-hour comedy about football players and the women who love them after three seasons in 2008. Tuesday night's debut marked BET's biggest original series telecast.

FILE - This 2004 file image released by NBC shows actor Dennis Farina in character as Police Detective Joe Fontana on NBC's "Law & Order." Farina died suddenly on Monday, July 22, 2013, in Scottsdale, AZriz., after suffering a blood clot in his lung. He was 69. (AP Photo/NBC, Paul Drinkwater, File)

The Farina file. . .
A few final notes on Chicago cop cum actor Dennis Farina, whose decades-long patrol of Chicago and Hollywood ended suddenly at his home in Arizona last week.
The death of Farina, who died of complications from cancer, stunned his closest Chicago thespian buddies — guys like comedian Tom Dreesen and actors Dennis Franz, William Petersen and Joe Mantegna, as well as legendary filmmaker Michael Mann, who gave Farina a major boost onto the stage.
"He was like a brother to me," said Dreesen. "And I didn't even know he had cancer."
Neither did Nick Nickeas, his best friend and former Chicago cop partner for 11 years. "He was a really private guy," said Nickeas.
"We were close, but he didn't even tell me he had cancer. I think one of the reasons he loved [singer and actor] Dean Martin was because he was also a really private guy.
"Years ago, when he was filming "Crime Story," he'd go to Las Vegas every night to catch Dean Martin's act. And he loved working with actress Bette Midler. He always said she was the best."
Dreeasen said: "I've talked to a lot of the Chicago guys and many of them called to express shock and fear they might not be able to attend the funeral next Tuesday due to major schedule conflicts."
"Dennis was a good man, a neighborhood guy, with the soul of a cop who became a respected actor," said Fr. Tom Nangle, the Chicago Police Department's former chaplain.
Although Farina was an actor almost twice as long as he was a cop, "He may have tried to get away from his police side and people asking him if he shot anybody, but he didn't distance himself from us. . . cops," Nickeas said.
"He was never far away from us and once a month we'd all have dinner at Tufano's. He was always doing things for the police memorial, the 100 Club, for families of policemen who had been killed."
"He was a class act," said former Chicago Police Superintendent Phil Cline. "When he wasn't being a police officer, he was honing his craft as an actor and helping us any way he could." Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy described him as "a true blue Chicago character."
Farina's last film, "The Last Rites of Joe May," was close to his heart... almost an epitaph.
It was shot in Chicago near a former Farina police haunt. "It's where we covered high line burglars at Grand and May near D'Amato's Bakery and an old mob hangout," Nickeas said. "His character dies in the end. It was a great film and it gave you a look into his heart."
Sneed is told Farina, who had three sons, wanted his six grandchildren to be his pallbearers and Nangle to officiate at his funeral. He wanted no flowers — instead, he wanted donations to go to the CPD's 100 Club.
Condolences to all who loved him and to his longtime companion Marianne Cahill, who was described as the love of his life — and was at his side at the end of it. Blessings. He did both his crafts proud.
Hear ye, blimey!
Here's one for the royal books: Anglophobe law professor Francis Boyle, who hails from the University of Illinois, had this to say about the birth of the royal baby, Prince George of Cambridge:
"Concerning Prince someday King George,
and his father Prince someday King William,
let us recall the stirring words
of one of our greatest Founding Fathers, Tom Paine,
written in his pamphlet "Common Sense,"
after what he called the "massacres" at Lexington and Concord
of American citizen soldiers by professional British mercenaries:
Who founded the British Monarchy?
It was that Norman Bastard and his Gang of Ruffians,
William dubbed the Conqueror. History repeats itself."

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if you guys knew of a good pre-workout supplement that would help me get more focused and "fired up" before a workout. On some days I don't feel quite as into it, and on those days I usually pop a Stacker pill which gets my heart going and gets me nice and intense. Then when I get to the gym I'm very focused and throw weights around. The problem with using Stacker for that is a) it's tough to get with Ephedra, and b) it's not exactly good for bulking.
Do you guys know of a good supplement that I could take that would kick start me and get me fired up on the way to the gym all the way through my workout? I've heard of that No-Xplode but people have said it's a waste of money. Any ideas?

Only 8 refugees survive boat sinking
YANGON, Myanmar — A boat carrying at least 70 Muslim Rohingya capsized and sank Sunday off the western coast of Myanmar, an aid worker said. Only eight survivors have been found.
The boat was in the Bay of Bengal and headed for Bangladesh when it went down early Sunday, said Abdul Melik, who works for a humanitarian organization in the region.

Moto X: And the Price Wasn't Even Right
The Motorola X launches with Android 4.2.2, which Samsung offered back in April on its current flagship device, the Galaxy S4. Any promise to upgrade it to Android 4.3 by a certain timeframe, or at all for that matter? Not that I can find anywhere on Motorola's Web site.
This is particularly painful because of the meaningful improvements we have seen in the devices that have been upgraded from Android 4.2.2 to 4.3. Did they do this just to show that Motorola gets deliberate second-class treatment by Google? Or was Motorola too slow/incompetent to implement what Samsung, LG and Asus are already offering?
Had Google wanted to take the Motorola opportunity to shake up the wireless industry, it would have circumvented all the traditional operator channels and offered the Moto X strictly from its own Web site and other independent distributors for $299 or $349, just like the LG Nexus 4. It would have told consumers to pick up a pay-as-you-go SIM card from T-Mobile or Wal-Mart (WMT) for $30 per device, or $100 for four lines.
Speaking of the LG Nexus 4, the Moto X actually has almost identical specs: Similar Qualcomm (QCOM) Snapdragon CPU, similar 4.7-inch 720p screen, no removable battery or expandable storage.The LG Nexus 4 came out last October, so perhaps LG should sue Motorola for some sort of infringement? Well, that would be ambitious given that the year-old Nexus 4 already offers Android 4.3 whereas the Moto X isn't yet in stores but will launch on Android 4.2.2. The Moto X is no threat to the LG Nexus 4. Sarcasm aside, it does remain true that the Moto X is a perfectly fine mainstream Android, slightly above the mid-range in the marketplace. There is nothing wrong with it -- that the right price couldn't have cured. It's easy to have sympathy for Google's dilemma here. On the one hand, it would be great if Motorola could be the dominant king of smartphones. The problem is that it isn't. It's badly behind the other companies, most notably Samsung. Therein resides Google's dilemma: It's got bigger fish to fry than prodding Motorola to excellence. Google's main priority right now -- after managing a 2014-2015 transition from Android to Chrome OS (Chromephone) -- is to ensure that Samsung doesn't wander off the reservation.

"How was your day?" I asked 8-year-old K as we walked home.
Okay," she answered automatically and then retracted, "Well, sort of not okay."
"What happened?" I asked very casually.
"I had no one to sit with at lunch and then I couldn't find anyone to play with at recess. Everyone ran away from me."
Of course, this type of statement sends a Jewish mom running to find a therapist. (For my kid, if not for myself). But I am not the same person I was before I did ludicrous amounts of research for my book on bullying, and I instantly recalled a conversation I had with Dr. Michael Thompson, author of Raising Cain and Mom, They're Teasing Me, among others.
"Don't interview for pain," Thompson told me. "Don't ask questions that lead your child to tell a story of victimization. Find a way for her to tell a story of strength and solutions. And do not ask every single day how things went that day."
With that in mind, I bit my tongue and avoided asking the outright questions, "What happened? Did you have a fight with someone? Who did your friends sit with at lunch?"

Bobby Brown will not accept the theory that he is responsible for his ex-wife Whitney Houston's death. Nor does he believe he is the one who got the music legend hooked on drugs.
"Not true," the R&B singer, 43, tells Matt Lauer in a Today show interview Tuesday, Brown's first since the Feb. 11 death of Houston. "I didn't get high [on narcotics] before I met Whitney. I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs at all."

Emma's StoryThis is now a game day favorite at my household. It is also an easy dinner recipe for a busy mom who needs all the time she can get!!
1 pkg
pillsbury pizza dough
1 pkg
hormel sliced pepperoni (any brand will do)
2 c
shredded mozzarella
garlic powder (with or w/o parsley)
garlic salt
your favorite margarine or butter(softened)
Find more recipes at goboldwithbutter.com
egg, whipped
Directions Step-By-Step
1Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a cookie sheet. An 18 X 13 should do. Roll out Pillsbury Pizza dough. Roll it out to fit the size of the pan. lightly drizzle garlic powder over the area. (use lightly as to not over power with garlicky flavor)Grab a hand full of pepperoni and start to lay them out. I like to lay rows and columns from top to bottom to fill area of pizza dough. (This package of Pepperoni is enough for 2 rolls) Next sprinkle mozzarella over the entire area but leave a handful of shredded cheese for topping.
2Now the fun part...Take about an inch from the length and fold over. I usually go left to right. At this point begin creating your roll by rolling dough all the way to the end. Turn the roll now to fit lengthwise. Option: brush whipped egg over roll. This will add a crisp and pretty shinyness to your roll. Sprinkle with Garlic Salt now and add the leftover mozzarella to sprinkle over the top.

Media Alert: Hawaii vs. Cokie Roberts
The best Media Alert of the week goes to Asian Americans for Obama, simply titled: BREAKING: Hawaii is a State. This was in response to Cokie Roberts's characterization of Hawaii as "foreign" and "exotic" as opposed to a trip to say, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The comments on ABC prompted Senator Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) to issue a statement stating the obvious (Hawaii is a state, and Obama has family there).
The best publicity grab [via the Honolulu Advertiser] comes from golf blogger William K. Wolfrum (after the jump):
When real Americans take vacations, they go to Myrtle Beach. That's why we'd like to let the Obama Campaign know about MyrtleBeachGolf.com. There they can find amazing deals throughout the Grand Strand that combine luxurious (but not elite) lodging, as well as opportunities to play golf on some of the most impressive golf courses in the non-elite Continental U.S.
And while they are making arrangements to send Sen. Obama to Myrtle Beach, they need to get him to switch sports. Basketball is for elites, after all. Real Americans, and real American Presidents play golf. In Myrtle Beach.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Collaborative Writing, 140 Characters at a Time
A teacher in suburban Washington DC has launched a collaborative writing initiative using the messaging tool Twitter. Prepare to be concise!
Some of you may know that I'm a heavy user of Twitter. A mix of blogging and chat, it allows users to send out short bursts of ideas comprised of 140 characters or less.
Twitter users subscribe to their friends' Twitter posts, or "tweets." You can post tweets on the Web, via instant messaging or texting, and receive them the same way.
For example, my Twitter account is twitter.com/acarvin. I post updates from my phone or computer when I have something to share, and follow friends as they tweet, too.
Twitter has been called by some people as a form of "microblogging." You can only fit so much info into 140 characters, so it forces you to be economic with words.
Because users subscribe to each other, it becomes a form of conversation. For example, I follow almost 200 people on Twitter, while around 700 people follow me.
Twitter is being embraced by many bloggers, including educational bloggers, but not much has happened in terms of using Twitter with students. But that's changing.
George Mayo, a middle school teacher in Montgomery County, MD, launched Manyvoices, which may be the first collaborative student writing project on Twitter.
Mayo's idea was to embrace Twitter's 140 character limit as a creative challenge for his students, using a framework known as a Twittory.
Created by Cameron Reilly, a Twittory is a story in which each person may add only 140 characters to the story. The story must also be told in 140 posts - no more, no less.
With Manyvoices, Mayo is challenging 140 students, including his own and others from around the world, to compose a story based on the rules of a Twittory.
"It's a fun way to practice a creative writing exercise. It also makes students think about story structure-building suspense," he told me via Twitter.
In the first 24 hours of the project, there have been half a dozen contributions:
1. In the depths of New York City, on top of the Empire State Building, a creature rested. That creature was me.
2. As I feel my life slipping away from me, I can barely remember a time when I was happy. I remember my friends and family. Like a dream.
3. I feel like I'm totaly lost. It's like I'm in a scary movie. I can't even see because it's so foggy. What am I going to do? Where can I go?
4. Maybe I'll slowly creep away tonight, while the city sleeps, and make my way back to the depths of the ocean. A place I call home.
5. As I start down, I can still see movement in the city. So I creep lightly through dark alleys so nobody can see me. Suddenly,6. I see a light turn on in a window. My eyes lock with a young woman holding a baby. She screams and I start to run.
The methodology is reminiscent of the Twitter Haiku, in which contributors must contain an entire Haiku within the limits of 140 characters, like this:
Seven score keystrokes
Life summarized for my friends
Instant messaging.
Mayo's project, like twittories in general, takes it one step further by requiring others to participate and anticipate the limited number of contributions allowed.
While other twittories have been open to any Twitter user, Mayo is limiting his students and their peers.
"Only middle schoolers can participate," he added. "It's a closed community. Anyone can read, but not everyone can contribute."
If you don't use Twitter, you can follow the story by visiting twitter.com/manyvoices. Twitter subscribers receive them via instant messaging or texting.
To have your students join the project, you can email Mayo at mrmayo.org at gmail.com or message him @mrmayo via Twitter. -andy

Yet another super-neat project utilizing new technology. This looks so fun I might see if I can set one up with my writing friends!
I think there are a lot of educational uses for Twitter. A few ideas would include having students text review questions back and forth to each other using Twitter and answering those questions. Students could do this with their cell phones for homework. Students could also use Twitter to brainstorm ideas for an upcoming group project. I think there are many possibilities out there.
Great project!
I helped 5th grade teachers develop a similar project in Brooklyn, where students created a "list poem" by posting blog comments with one line of poetry at a time on a common theme.
Twitter would work well for this, by allowing more students from various schools to participate in the list. Unfortunately, Twitter is currently blocked by the NYC Department of Ed.
Just browsing the internet. You have a very, very interesting blog.
Interesting idea! I am on my way now to see what the story has developed into. It makes you wonder about other creative uses you could use Twitter for to promote collaboration and creativity.
I have a phone package that includes a large volume of text messaging, but what about students who have cheaper packages that charge by the message? (Usually, I think, 10 cents a message.) Wouldn't that be prohibitive to some students?
There's no requirement that students use text messaging. Students can participate via the Web or instant messaging as well.
I was so inspired I thought everyone should be able to play: www.english140.com. Appreciate any thoughts.
Well, foks, hello out there and beyond this corner, it is nice having read your messages and I really appreciate it very much if you can tell me what makes twitter change your paradigmship, does twitter make you sense in terms of real purpose? I mean does it give you the best of your time that will change your day to day routine for cause?

Since this is a new engine I'm running rich 40% nitro / 25% caster blend. I recorded two video's with an audio tach 25.2k rpm ran for about 2 mins break mixed throttle then dialed in a little more fuel to richen it up further as the engine warmed up to running temp. The second run I left the needle as is and used a photo cell tach. On the low end I had 9,570 rpm and the top end with a stock 3 x1.25 black flexible cox prop 19,110 rpm. The aluminum sleeve can obtain a 50% reduction. Some carbon steel would be best or stainless tube - will have to order. For now the aluminum sourced for the project is thick walled 10mm OD x (apparent) 8.5mm ID. Using the photo cell tach on the second run I had varying readings a DC light behind the prop would be best. I might add the sleeve has no play up or down sits snug between the lower cooling fin and the crankcase. The expansion is just enough for the engine to breath through the vents is most likely the key source of loss - perhaps a little castor oil is helping to hold the seal somewhat. I have some reasonable reduction in rpm to work with for now and the sleeve should make a difference in flight duration, load control on the ground to allow safe use modded props and a broad flight envelope in the air. Once I lean out the engine more I would imagine the percentages will stay near the same. 14k low 29k high with the stock prop.
No flight yet looks like next weekend will have to do for now a pic n throttle observation vid to wet your appetites
|May 05, 2014, 05:41 AM
I decided to fabricate another throttle sleeve this to be my third try with 0 slop up down and snug fit over the cylinder I have achieved steady idles 4,600 to 5,200 rpm on 40% nitro. Will post a vid Monday evening.
Took a transition pic the 3rd one was not finished at the time of pic.
|May 05, 2014, 09:04 AM
Nice. Can you detail the fabrication of the sleeve please ? I am considering building one for my Golden Bee. Do you need special tools? Lots of photos if possible. Thanks a lot.

Cox TD .010 Throttle Sleeve 3rd Gen Sleeve Test, note I had it set for 3 blade so will have to divide by 3 and times by 2. Most of this was in the 4k to 6k range.

She flies:
Flew 3 flights recorded continuous 3.15 GB file / will have to take a section and post.
I will need to edit this is a continuous large file for now I took a cell phone vid of the 1080p version of one of the flights that had some fast up close fly by's just after 2.45 mins (perhaps someone can give me a doppler reading) - I saw about 25.7k with an audio tach.
I was flying in 13 -15 ish mph winds and around 93 degs and used the 2.8 x 2 prop.
Total average flight times for all three flights was around 3.2 mins each.
I was running tad rich to insure the engine would'nt die and left it at full throttle do to wind

Congratulations! A sweet little mosquitoe.
|May 11, 2014, 01:19 AM
Yes thank you, this was a tricky project as the lil TD .010's just don't make much power. To achieve any speed out of the wee engine without going with a very small airframe as the solution makes it difficult. So I just kept things slim, lanky and light to help me still have enough plane to see from a reasonable distance. The plane is big enough to handle a TD .020 but want to try a few props yet. One goal is to use the throttle if there was no wind I could have but needed max power today. So I have a solution more dia and pitch with a very light weight / paper thin composite prop by Gemfan. It is a 4 x 3 cut on the back side to make it slim cord wise the prop can handle 35k rpm but only if its tugging along a sub 7oz plane. Graupner makes one like it that can do 40k rpm. Here are the stock props and one mounted modified. This prop gives me the thrust I need to go vertical with enough speed to cut through a typical windy day.
stock Gemfan 4x3 prop weighs 1.6g
mod prop with thinner cord 1.2g
stock cox 3 x 1.25 / 1.8g
stock cox 4.5 x 2 / 3g

So as I learn more about my gun and the general maintenance tools to use on it, I see some odd stuff around. For instance, no one I've seen (whom all seem like they've had plenty of experience in maintaining markers,) likes using dow55 on regulators, like slinky and even Latsabb. They refuse to use dow55 on BL regs. I'm just wondering, is there a problem with using dow55 with regs? Is there something troublesome about using dow55 on them? Or is it just preference?

Standardized in June, 1944, the Gun Motor Carriage M36 was a modification of the 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage, M10A1, and was designed to provide a more powerful self-propelled anti-tank gun. The M36 "Jackson" was equipped with a potent 90mm gun that was mounted within a semi-open top turret with 360-degree power traverse.
The Boulton Paul Defiant was a result of an Air Ministry specification (F.9/35) issued before the onset of WWII. It was a low-wing, cantilever monoplane, two-seat fighter of all-metal construction, with retractable landing gear, looking not unlike the Hurricane.
The Republic F-84 Thunderjet was an American-built turbojet fighter-bomber aircraft. Originating as a 1944 United States Air Force proposal for a "day fighter," the F-84 flew in 1946. Although it entered service in 1947, the Thunderjet was plagued by so many structural and engine problems that a 1948 Air Force review declared it unable to execute any aspect of its intended mission and considered cancelling the program.
The Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir ("Lion Cub") is an Israeli-built all-weather, multirole combat aircraft based on a modified French Dassault Mirage 5 airframe, with Israeli avionics and an Israeli-made version of the General Electric J79 turbojet engine.

The Blackbyrds came together in the early 1970s at Howard University, where their mentor was that school's Chairman of the Jazz Studies Department, Donald Byrd. In the 1950s and '60s, Byrd was a golden-toned post-bop trumpeter, but it was as producer of the five-man group's LPs for Fantasy that he--and they--struck gold. The albums paired here reached the upper echelon of Billboard's Hot 100 album chart, with City Life going to number 16 in 1976. Between 1974 and 1978, when people in ever-increasing numbers were heading for the dance floor as disco exploded, the Blackbyrds' Sly-Kool-Earth-Wind-and-Miles–inspired mix of funk/soul/jazz/dance pop lifted them onto the R&B Top 40 ten times. This set features five of those hits, with "Happy Music" (#3, 1976) one of their biggest. It shows why the Blackbyrds' happy music has been so often sampled--and why it's flying high again.
Rock Creek Park, Thankful 'Bout Yourself, City Life, All I Ask, Happy Music, Love So Fine, Flying High, Hash and Eggs, Time Is Movin', In Life, Enter In, You've Got That Something, Party Land, Lady, Unfinished Business

Guys always an interesting debate as I sit here with 168 brand new RM notebook 310s lol.
In one of my former establishments we started off on the laptops for teachers scheme with vigour, the teachers loved it, the IT staff loved it as they had the same spec machines, parts were easy to keep in stock.
Machines started to fail so we went to BYOD, and that went badly, very very badly. Diff spec machines, IT staff were expected to do all repairs beyond warranty at the cost to the school even if damage was caused at home or by a child.
We then did a consultation and said we would be doing 1 more round of Laptops for staff and after this we would be going to desktops in the machines, 40% of the staff wanted to go to desktops straight away but as they were not given the option we went with brand new Toshiba laptops. Less than 2 years after this staff complained that the laptops were slow and not any good. Desktops got installed and then staff complained they lacked portability. It was explained that staff have their own logins, a 32GB USB stick and the machines were hard wired straight to the core network rather than going through various switches (with the exception of 2 which were over 100m away).
They loved the speed that came with them but hated that they could not personalise them and not "work from home in comfort" or "could not afford a PC / Laptop for home"...despite the fact that they all at some point asked us as IT staff to fix their home machines in return for beer/alcohol/payment. It didnt wash and home access was set up and yes there will always be complaints, but we had less issues with this than ever before.
In general it works very well.
We do the same.
I'm actually looking at putting together a proposal to move away from laptops for teachers in favour of fixed PCs in the classroom. Would free up our wireless network for portable student devices, and would be backed up by a new remote access system.
This is a really interesting thread, as we are in the early stages of a consultation process to go the other way, i.e. remove desktop PCs from classrooms and issue laptops instead.
All of SLT now have laptops to ease working at home, which they also find useful in SLT meetings (it was something we initially offered to one Deputy Head because their child-care arrangements meant he needed to work at home, but couldn't use the home computer because of the children (circular argument, really!). The increased use of computers, both in teaching and administration, means that the communal computers in the Staff Room are always being used, and however many more we put in there, they will still all be in use all the time. With that and the number of people who teach multiple subjects, we are in the position whereby we have more classroom/staff room/staff office computers than we do teaching staff. Also, some staff teach in shared classrooms, and if they had a laptop, they could get all their resources ready to go before the lesson rather than have to lose the first few minutes opening PowerPoints, e-books and so on.
The issue we will have is that not everyone will want to have a laptop, yet in order for this to work, everyone must have one.
Another reason behind wanting to give staff a laptop is that we can encrypt the drives, so should someone steal their computer, the data on it is safe, unlike if they had their home computer stolen.
A few more things to throw in the pot which may not have been dimensioned but are more based on how schools might choose to operate when it comes to who teaches who and where.
Some schools don't allocate dedicated classrooms to teachers. Instead you teach in the various available spaces, usually in a given department / subject area. This can mean that teacher desktop devices are not always appropriately set up for the member of staff that has to go in during a particular lessons. I have heard the argument that the locking of desktops causes problems for the next teacher in that room .. but in the same way classroom management and behaviour is a teacher issue, not a technical one, this is the same ... so I can't say that it is a valid argument ... only something to be aware of and educate users about.
Laptops are also used as a recruitment incentive within some schools ... and whilst we know that this means they will be used at home as well, with education of the users we can make sure they are only used by the member of staff ... again a DPA awareness issue.
All our teachers, cover supervisors, TAs and assorted other based on need, have a laptop. All our registers are taken on the laptops, so they have to be brought in daily and problems are usual picked and fixed very quickly. The laptops are locked down, but we have a policy of allowing staff to request we put any legal software on their laptops. It is a compromise on the full freedom they (and we) would like and us not employing 20 technicians.
We have a five year replacement program for all IT equipment and decisions had to be made about what we could afford to keep running. So desktops attached to projectors in the classroom were left to expire. We are just consulting on whether senior management/heads of year also require the desktop in their offices in addition to their laptops. And how much they are prepared to give me extra in the budget if they want to keep up that density of computing.
Laptops are encrypted, so when they go home we have a measure of security for the data.
Hadn't thought of it as a recruitment tool, must mention that to the senior team.
All in all, staff having laptops has generally been seen as a success and a positive thing and they wouldn't go back (the question is raised every year). Has it improved outcomes for the students, the ultimate measure of a school initiative, I am not sure. All staff had laptops when we went into special measures, all staff had laptops when we became outstanding.
