NCIS Review: Mike Franks' Swan Songby Steve Marsi at . Comments
From the opening scene, you knew this would be not just an unusual episode of NCIS, but a somber, dark and gut-wrenching installment that would leave viewers reeling.
The aptly-titled "Swan Song" began with Gibbs stoically standing in the rain, helplessly watching a body bag carted off. As promised, the victim was a major NCIS figure.
Even as the story unfolded in reverse, with dots connected throughout the night, the identity of the person ins the bag and the toll this loss took on Gibbs were obvious.
NCIS doesn't usually try methods such as having Mike (or the memories of Mike) talk to Gibbs throughout the case, hovering over his shoulder, as if he were really there.
For a time, of course, he was. But the Mike Franks we first saw last night spoke to Jethro from beyond the grave, shrouding the episode in both mystery and emotion.
If there were any doubts that Jethro's mentor was the victim, they were cleared up during Duck's autopsy. Gibbs was present, yet absent, like Mike in a different sense.
Perhaps the fact that it was so different made it all the more effective. Rather than having Franks killed as a shocker at the end, we were left wondering how and why.
It worked extremely well not only because many fans guessed Franks would be this week's victim, but because it set up a terrific "Swan Song" for this great character.
Like the old dog he referenced, Franks knew his time had come, and he went out in style, picking a fight the Port-to-Port Killer never saw coming and nearly winning it.Mike looked noticeably pale and unwell, not to mention noticeably older, in human form than in Gibbs' mental images. You can't help but wonder if he was gravely ill.
That may also explain how Gibbs lives with what happened going forward. Had he not called Mike, he would be alive today ... or would he? Not if he were terminal.
Instead, perhaps Jethro offered the man who took him under his wing a fitting sendoff, and in a tangential way, broke open a case that flummoxed him on many levels.
That doesn't mean Mike's murder wasn't brutal to stomach for Probie or anyone else. For Gibbs, letting go of Franks would be like everyone else letting go of Gibbs.
The scene where the elevator opened and McGee was holding Abby just as Tony was with Ziva, and Tony telling them to "bring it in" for a group hug was powerful.
Given everything that's gone on - and is still going on - viewers probably felt they needed a hug too. After all, the monster who did this to Franks is still on the loose.
Franks' death became the latest chapter in the hunt for the P2P, who we now know by name (Jonas Cobb) and received a full bio on thanks to a one-eyed Trent Cort.
The shady CIA agent's role filled in a number of blanks.
First, it explained the eyeball. It was his, which made sense, given the Company's propensity for gaining access to everything. More importantly, it legitimized the P2P.
Making viewers fear Cobb on a show in which murderers are hunted every week is a difficult task, but Cort's description and thoroughly disturbing videos did the job.
The P2P is a trained assassin, crafted by the CIA to do its "wet work" while remaining undercover as a run-of-the-mill serviceman. Only after his first kill, he went rogue.
After making a mockery of military hierarchy by slaying his first group of victims, the killer is now evolving, tracking the people tracking him. But Franks wasn't a target.
Cobb was conducting "research" on Gibbs, lurking inside NCIS and outside his home. Just as Gibbs and Vance study each other, the killer observes. He learns. He waits.
Interestingly, it was when Gibbs confronted Vance about their personal battles that he gained insight into why Cobb came to his house - and where he went next.
Franks forced Cobb into a kill-or-be-killed situation, but the P2P didn't want Gibbs. He wanted Barrett and her team members, baiting them into a terrifying trap.
Despite widespread animosity for E.J. and the new guys, you couldn't watch this and not feel awful. She walked right into this haunting, deadly trap and had no idea.
Will E.J. survive? It doesn't look good, but Gibbs and Vance are on the same page now. Jethro's running point, fueled by the demise of his mentor. It is ON next week.
Presumably because of its format, NCIS doesn't get much Emmy love, but that should change, because this was one of the most superbly written episodes of TV you'll see.
Weaving this complicated web in such compelling fashion, with precise attention to detail and continuity years in the making, is no easy task. Kudos to everyone involved.
I'm drained after watching, then writing about these events that evoked so much emotion and so many thoughts. It's hard to do them justice. So I turn it over to you:
What did you think of last night's NCIS? Discuss below!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: NCIS, Reviews
great show keep you at seat end waiting to see whats next
the "mike franks" part was wrong, it didnt follow the story line...Franks left mexico in season 7, his place was burned down and he went to Isral with his grand kids...Vance gave him the tickets in his office and then got a text from Ziva's father saying "we got him"....Cort had the black eye patch a few ep's ago so he lost the eye a while back...how did the eye turn up in the drink BEFORE they went to Hawi if he lost it over there? Did the writters go on strike?
You are missing the point. Gibbs has finally transitioned or will now that Mike is gone. Just like Tony, McGee, and everyone needs Gibbs, Gibbs inturn needed Mike. With Mike gone, Gibbs is now responsible for his future. No longer will his needs be met by Mike. Secondly, he will turn inward towards his team as they will take on a more mature exterior. This whole process has been about the "team" growing from Gibbs as Gibbs grew "from" Mike.
I hate it when cast members are killed off; Kate, Jennie, Mike. Why did it need to happen to Mike? Who decided that? What about his grand-daughter? Very disappointed.
What an amazing episode! I was heartbroken to see Mike Franks go, what an impact this will have on Gibbs. I had to laugh at Mike Franks' sense of humor through bits of the episode (especially the "skip ahead" bit!) It was also heartwarming to see how close the team is even in such a horrible situation. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next episode.
It was so sad that Mike Franks died and how the team took it. I liked the elevator scene how Ziva and Tony hugged you can see the love between the two and when the doors opened you seen Abby and McGee and Tony told them to come in and that was very emotional it showed once again this team is so close. sad that Mike Franks died but happy that its wasn't any of the team but it kinda is part of the team how many times Franks came to help
them. it did Remind me Of Jenny's death because I knew he was sick. I will miss Mike Franks glad he died trying to catch the killer but sad he had to die. I think EJ is so dumb she doesn't listen and she knew how the guy who died looking at the doll why would she let her guard down watching the toy knowing how he killed before. I don't like EJ but she should have listen to Vance and Gibbs. its Nice to see that Vance and Gibbs is on the same page once again. also shady Kort it was nice to see him again too Even know he knew who Cobbs was the whole time.
Jesse Stern did a great writing Job loved this episode one of the most saddest. episode's like this is why I love NCIS
I was in shock...I enjoyed the character of Mike Franks. I agree with "Editor" and the rest who will miss this character. Let's hope they allow his "ghost" to appear occasionally...now can we get rid of Barrett?
Just--why? We knew Lauren Holly was moving on, but why Mike Franks character? His character leaves a daughter-in-law, a grandson and others. Just seems unnessary...
loved swan song it had a bit of everything sad about mike franks.the question now is who will die next week it doesnt look good for ej or ziva we will have to wait for next tuesday,by the way the elivator scene loved it.
As Mike Franks was my next to favorite character< I am shocked and saddened. His gruff non PC attitude reminds me of my brother, retired Air Force, circa Viet Nam. The loyalty Mike has/had to his friends is what we all need , plus, his no nonsense approach, cuts to the heart of issues. I will miss him greatly!

If Astorino is going to apply an exemption for sonority one would think that it would start at a more reasonable length of time like 15-20 years. 30 plus years is way to long, if Astorinio wants to be fair and respect seniority he has to revisit this issue and lower the exemption age.
astorino did the right thing..this was solely to protect
senior career prosecutors who were not represented..
it was aimed at preserving the ability of law enforcement
to continue to effectively fight crime in westchester
not unreasonably and not money based
No one should be exempt…the word exempt should be taken out of any type of civil service employment benefit issue. Open that door, and everyone will be looking to be exempt.
This will certainly open a can of worms and raise some eyebrows! Question remains Is it going to work and is it fair to all involved. Only time will learn

Because You Asked For It: A Movie About a Child Raised By WhalesIn Development By Scott Beggs on August 28, 2012 | Comments (2)
Not only is there a movie in the works where a "chubby" child is lost overboard on a family vacation who gets raised by whales and goes on to become an Olympic swimmer, it's going to be directed by Jon Turtletaub – the exact name you thought of when you started trying to imagine this monstrosity. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Beached (a title spit out of an accounting department computer with no sense of humor) has seen renewed interest theoretically because of the London Games and stars like Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps. Boasting a script from Ted Griffin (Ocean's Eleven, Tower Heist), the project has been around since 1997 and was once under the wing of director Betty Thomas (The Brady Bunch Movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel) but somehow the story of a fat kid being brought up by the world's largest mammals never came to fruition. Now, it's back on the radar for Fox 2000 because of Turtletaub.
'Panic Room' Director To Make 'Panic Attack' For Panic PicturesIn Development By Scott Beggs on June 1, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
David Fincher gets obsessed about things, and he's clearly never read "The Hitchhiker's Guide" because panicking seems to be something he can't take his mind off of. The most recent incarnation of this passion comes in optioning Jason Starr's thriller novel "Panic Attack" for a possible forthcoming project under his Panic Pictures banner. According to Vulture, Fincher has already hired Ted Griffin (Ocean's Eleven, Matchstick Men) to write the adaptation. This will mark a move even further away from his Benjamin Button phase and back toward the earlier point in his career where people threatening to kill other people was the main focus. In other words, Fincher is looking to give audiences a reason to panic again. Plus, this will be a departure of sorts for Griffin who has written rom-com fare like Killers and Rumor Has It… in recent years. The story focuses on a psychologist named Adam Bloom who shoots a burglar who's broken into his home. Instead of praise for protecting his wife and child, Bloom is made into a monster by the media because he just so happened to empty an entire clip into the would-be thief. To complicate the emotional, public hell – the burglar's partner has a mind for revenge. It sounds perfect and perfectly Fincher-esque. If Kevin Spacey gets involved, chills will already start climbing up the back of my spine.

Pilot Watch is a brand new, not at all often, feature on FSR where we 'll sit down and give you a heads up on all the hot new stuff coming to your boob tube. In this edition of Pilot Watch we have the brand new FX series, Terriers. The show is the tale of ex-cop Hank Dolworth and his buddy Brit Pollack as they start up their own PI agency. It stars Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James and comes to us from the Matchstick Men and Oceans Eleven writer, Ted Giffin. I had the privilege of checking out the pilot for this one, and this is what I thought.
Movies We Love: RavenousFeatures By Jeremy Kirk on July 21, 2010 | Comments (1)
I said no food. I didn't say there was nothing to eat. Captain John Boyd (Guy Pearce) is a coward. After inadvertently (and indirectly based upon his cowardice) claiming an opposing stronghold during the Mexican-American War, he is relocated for his actions to an outpost in Sierra Nevadas. There, he finds himself second in command of a rag-tag group of eccentric, fellow soldiers. Things take a turn for the eerie when a stranger (Robert Carlyle), half-famished and near death, arrives at their door. The stranger tells them of a lost wagon train he was a part of, and the unspeakable horrors the group resorted to in order to survive. The soldiers take it as their duty to seek out the lost wagon train but not before their Native American guide explains to them the power of the Wendigo. It is a myth that whoever partakes in the flesh of man will gain that person's strengths and could very well become consumed with this cannibalistic act. Horror and yes, a little bit of comedy ensue.

|Summer of My German Soldier
Bette Greene (born June 28, 1934) is the author of several books for children and young adults, including Summer of My German Soldier, The Drowning of Stephan Jones, and the Newbery Honor book Philip Hall Likes Me, I Reckon Maybe. She currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts.
Greene was raised in Parkin, Arkansas, where she stuck out as a Jewish girl in the American South during the Great Depression and World War II. Her books focus on themes of injustice and alienation. Her book, Summer of My German Soldier, is based heavily on her childhood.
Greene was born in Memphis, Tennessee, but was raised in the small city of Parkin, Arkansas, where her parents ran the general store. As a Jewish girl in a town of Christian fundamentalists, she experienced discrimination and learned what it was like to be an outsider. Since her parents spent a lot of time in their store, Greene was raised mainly by her family's African-American housekeeper, Ruth, who served as the model for the character of the same name in Summer of My German Soldier.
Just before Greene entered high school, her family returned to Memphis. Although she began writing for newspapers during her high school years and even won first prize in a local essay contest, she received poor grades in English because of her difficulties with spelling and punctuation. After graduation, she spent a year studying in Paris, France, an experience that would later serve as the background for Morning Is a Long Time Coming. After a year abroad, she returned to Memphis and became a reporter for United Press International.
After taking classes at several colleges, Greene enrolled at Columbia University in New York City, where she focused on writing and astronomy. After graduation she worked as a part-time journalist and a public information officer before marrying physician Donald Sumner Greene and moving with him to Boston; the couple have two grown children. It was after the birth of her daughter Carla that Greene began to write Summer of My German Soldier. The novel took five years to complete; after two more years spent searching for a publisher and eighteen rejections, the book was published by Dial Press in 1973.
Summer Of My German Soldier
Summer of My German Soldier, The Film Emmy Award & Humanitas Prize Award film promoting human dignity, meaning and freedom:
Philip Hall Likes Me, I Reckon Maybe
Them That Glitter and Them that Don't
Summer of My German Soldier was adapted as a television movie starring Kristy McNichol, Bruce Davison, and Esther Rolle and broadcast by the National Broadcasting Company (NBC-TV), 1978; The file was also released as a filmstrip by Miller-Brody Productions in 1979.
A new musical version of the novel with music and lyrics by David Brush and Jim Farley opened in Ohio in August 2003, staged by Encore Theater Company. Summer of My German Soldier has also been released on audio-cassette.
Philip Hall Likes Me. I Reckon Maybe was adapted into a filmstrip by Miller-Brody Productions in 1979. Both books have also been released on audiocassette. The Drowning of Stephan Jones was optioned as a film by Telling Pictures.

Barrel life will not be effected by the weight of the barrel, with NORMAL shooting.
The DO NOT dissipate heat better, they do take longer to heat up because
of the additional material. Also keep in mind, when a heavy barrel does get hot
it take a great deal longer to cool down.
Over the years, I've seen very little reason to go with a heavy barrel,
unless it's a varmint weapon.

With considerable ease, the United States and some of its allies have commenced a new war effort in the Middle East, thus far directing efforts to 'degrade and destroy' the Islamic State. Public officials have made remarkably little effort to justify interventions in Iraq and Syria to their domestic constituents and the international community. Can such a case be made?

Johnson Straps on Tool Belt with Jimmy Carter
- Jun 18, 2003
ANNISTON, Ala. (June 18, 2003) – When you think of a NASCAR Winston Cup Series driver and a former President of the United States, steel-toed boots, hammers and nails are not the first things that come to mind.
But on Monday, June 9, Team Lowe's driver Jimmie Johnson joined former President Jimmy Carter to kick off the 2003 Jimmy Carter Work Project (JCWP) in Anniston, Ala., one of three sites on which the JCWP plans to build nearly 100 Habitat homes.
"Being able to put on my tool belt and help build these homes was an uplifting experience," said Johnson, an accomplished do-it yourselfer. "My association with Lowe's has allowed me to do some amazing things and meet some amazing people over the past couple of years.
"To be able to help build homes for families that need assistance and to be able to do this along side a former President of the United States was a rare treat."
In support of the JCWP, Lowe's has joined forces with Whirlpool and The Valspar Corporation to provide Habitat for Humanity with the products necessary to build and furnish the homes.
Of the many products donated, Lowe's is providing all of the interior paints from its new American Tradition Signature Colors line. This new line of paints delivers a breakthrough formulation in distinctive palettes with colors inspired by children's favorite Nickelodeon programs, such as SpongeBob SquarePants, as well as five other popular American brands.
Additionally, to help raise awareness for the JCWP and the new paint line, Team Lowe's Racing will run a special SpongeBob SquarePants paint scheme during the Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway on July 5. In addition to the SpongeBob paint scheme, the No. 48 Lowe's Monte Carlo also will feature a special JCWP decal.
"Since it seems to rain every time we race in Daytona, Team Lowe's Racing decided it would make perfect sense to have a sponge on our race car," said Johnson when he heard SpongeBob is going to be his co-pilot. "This way, SpongeBob can help dry the track so we can finish the race.
"Hopefully this time we'll be in the lead."
The JCWP 2003 will mark the 20th year in which former President Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, have built in partnership with families in need of simple, decent housing. Since a 1984 build in New York City, the Carters have devoted at least one week of the year to building Habitat houses in destinations such as Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Hungary, the Philippines, South Korea and South Africa.
This year during Carter's annual weeklong build, Habitat for Humanity's most distinguished volunteer is helping to build 92 homes alongside volunteers and homeowners at three sites—Anniston, Ala., Valdosta and LaGrange, Ga.—the week of June 6-13.
The Signature Colors program offers six distinctive brands under one umbrella for maximum color possibilities in this premium paint—or as the design center announces "all these designers in one can."
Together, the six special signature palettes, which include Nickelodeon, Alexander Julian, Laura Ashley, Waverly, Earth Elements and Eddie Bauer, offer consumers over 1,000 color choices.
With fiscal year 2002 sales of $26.5 billion, Lowe's Companies, Inc. is a FORTUNE 100 company that serves approximately nine million customers a week at more than 875 home improvement stores in 45 states. In 2003, FORTUNE named Lowe's "America's Most Admired Specialty Retailer."
Based in Wilkesboro, N.C., the 57-year old company is the second-largest home improvement retailer in the world. For more information, visit Lowes.com.

Applications for 2014 Artistic Residencies are closed.
SPACE on Ryder Farm's non-profit residency and retreat season runs each year from June through October.
Artistic residencies provide artists the opportunity to create away from the bustle of everyday life and in the company of other artists. Residencies are grounded in three farm-fresh meals per day. Artists have flexibility and are strongly encouraged to structure their days to best suit the needs of their project. Artistic residencies culminate in informal sharings of what each resident has worked on during their time at SPACE.
Artistic residencies are granted to individuals and groups in harmony with SPACE's mission. Priority in SPACE's selection process is given to applications that include detailed and distinctive goals for the time to be spent at SPACE.
All artistic residencies are subsidized. Residents pay a minimal daily fee of $40 to offset the cost of their stay. Additionally, residents cover their travel to and from the farm. A round-trip off-peak ticket from Grand Central Station to Brewster Station is $26.50. There are some fully-subsidized artistic residencies available upon invitation.
Applications will only be accepted electronically and must be received by 11:59PM on March 8, 2014.
Not all accepted applicants go through an interview process. If we feel your application requires further discussion, we will invite you to interview in April.
All applicants will be notified of their selection status by email by May 15, 2014.

POSTED: Monday, February 10, 2014 - 2:52pm
UPDATED: Sunday, March 2, 2014 - 11:51pm
(CNN) — WARNING: Some viewers may find this video disturbing
Most people go to church in their Sunday best, but a Virginia congregation doesn't focus on those material things.
They say they worship the way god brought us into this world: naked.
This is a congregation that often worships the same way God brought them into the world, unadorned, and unashamedly, naked. This however, is February, so on this Sunday morning, parishioners are in various states of undress. Some nude, some fully clothed, others topless.
But it's not about the clothes, or lack thereof. Pastor Allen Parker is here to bare he soul to Christ, and lead his flock down that path of righteousness, no matter what they have on.
"He told them all he could tell them, he showed them what they could be shown" Allen recites to his congregation.
Every Sunday, in the front few rows of the White Tail Chapel, you'll find Katie and Robert Church. Katie wasn't a nudist when they first met, but quickly fell in love with both Robert and this resort, they married here and now have their own weekend get-away on premises.
This Church has given them a sense of Christian community and they say it's without any of the pretense of a traditional church.
"Once we were married, and we were here, this whole place became our family. I feel like I can turn to anyone in this church - or even this park - and they will be there to help me." Katie said.
Robert Church added "People are more open, as far as hearing the word of God, and listening to the preacher speaking the word of God."
If you think anyone here finds church attendance titillating, you'd be wrong. They're here to find inner-peace, and Pastor Parker believes that starts with accepting themselves.
Parker said "There's not a feeling that you have to be better than one another, physically. We're humans, we have scars, we have what we have...it's learning to Love and accept that."
"There are people with great means...great wealth, and there's people that don't...but you wouldn't know, and everybody treats everybody --- equally." said Robert Church.
This church sits on the grounds of the White Tail Nudist Resort. In the winter, the Sunday service is barely half full, but in the summer, it's standing room only.
Comments News Comments
Nudism/naturism is partly about body acceptance, yes? No matter the size or shape, we naturists accept everyone without judgment.
Nudism is NOT about seeing or being seen. It's about de-stressing, relaxing, and returning to innocence. It's about accepting yourself and others for who you are, how you act, and what you say, rather than what you look like, wear, or own.
If you are looking to try something new, the clothes free lifestyle could be your answer to meeting true nudist friends.
Did you hear that "Looney Tunes" music? I did.

U.S. Steel,
Power Piping,
coke battery,
Thorsten Schier
NEW YORK Power Piping Co. has responded to a U.S. Steel Corp. lawsuit seeking to reclaim losses the steelmaker says it sustained following a 2010 explosion at its Clairton, Pa., coke plant.
The Pittsburgh-based steamfitter said in a filing in Allegheny County (Pa.) Court of Common Pleas that U.S. Steel must recoup any compensation that it paid six of its employees for injuries sustained in the explosion through the Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Act, not through a suit against a third party.
The act is "the exclusive remedy by which an employer or his insurer may recover sums it paid in workmens compensation benefits to an injured employee," attorneys at Pittsburgh-based law firm Swartz Campbell LLC wrote on behalf of Power Piping.
Six U.S. Steel employees and five Power Piping workers were injured in the 2010 explosion, which occurred as Power Piping was performing repair and installation work at the coke battery.
Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel spent about $6.97 million on repairs, workers compensation payments, and investigation and defense of alleged Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) violations (amm.com, Nov. 26). It also is facing claims "in the millions of dollars" from personal injury lawsuits brought against it by the five Power Piping workers, according to its initial complaint filed Nov. 16.
U.S. Steel argued that under a contract between the two companies, Power Piping is liable for the damages as the company failed to take adequate safety precautions and "failed to heed the warning and alarm system at the B battery" prior to the explosion, according to the filing.
U.S. Steel declined to comment, while Power Piping did not return a request for comment.

Rep. Kuster bill aims to keep student loan rates from doubling
Kuster, who has co-sponsored a bill called the Student Loan Relief Act that would prevent subsidized Stafford loan interest rates from doubling from 3.4 to 6.8 percent starting July 1, said New Hampshire students particularly would be hit hard if the rate doubles.
"New Hampshire is first in a lot of things in this country that are positive, but one thing that we are first in that is negative is that New Hampshire is first in the country in terms of average student loan debt," Kuster said.
Kuster went on to say that the average four-year New Hampshire college student owes $32,440 and that 75 percent of all New Hampshire college students are in debt.
"I know the argument for doubling the rate is that we can't afford to keep it so low, but the argument against it is that we can't afford to make college inaccessible to average Americans, that would have terrible social and cultural consequences," Kuster said.
The Student Loan Relief Act would keep the student loan interest rate level at 3.4 percent for the next two years, a timeframe Kuster says is intentional.
"That will give Congress the time to address the problem of the increasing costs of higher education," Kuster said. "Certainly I have colleagues who share my concern on this issue, and I am optimistic of reaching a consensus position in Congress to keep higher education affordable, but I want to see this done in a timely fashion, and not just lurch from crisis to crisis like we have."
With the looming increase in her student loan interest rate, Erica Taylor, a mother of three small children who recently obtained her associates degree, told Kuster that she is now unsure if she and her husband, who is also a Nashua Community College student, will be able to afford to continue with their education.
"To think the rate could double, I am scared, I am scared I can't make payments and balance a household budget," Taylor said.
Michael Burnham, who currently attends Southern New Hampshire University after previously attending Nashua Community College, said that the increase would be a burden not only on himself, but many of his friends as well.
"I am a student, I have a full-time job, and I have a part-time job, and in the back of your mind to just know that school will get more expensive, it can make it difficult for people to decide to continue with school," Burnham said.
Nashua Community College Chief Financial Officer Amber Wheeler said the college is already seeing more students enroll as part-time students instead of attending full-time because of how expensive higher education in New Hampshire has become.
"I can't imagine interest rates doubling and seeing where the students will be," Wheeler said.
Kuster thanked all the students for telling her their stories, explaining that when she goes back to Congress next week, she will us their stories as a way to try to convince her peers of the importance of keeping interest rates low on student loans.
"I try to tell my colleagues that a couple of bucks where I come from goes a long way," Kuster said. "For some people it can mean the difference between owning a car or not, or renting an apartment or owning a house, and that is the kind of stuff that drives our economy."

Reason #9,867 why Carty is an idiot
I can't find the link on 13abc's website, but they just had coverage of a news conference that the Mayor held today. He is mad that Wood County is stealing companies from Toledo. This is so petty and childish and didn't deserve airtime. Does he realize that Wood County didn't hold a gun to O-I's head and force them to move to Perrysburg?

Drawings reveal arena design; public input sought on $85M project for downtown Toledo
Preliminary designs for Toledo's new downtown sports arena boast an oval-shaped building with an entirely glass entryway facing the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Huron Street.
Lining the building along those same streets, the plan proposes a plaza with grass, hedges, and trees, which will provide a walking area for downtown visitors and arena patrons.

Verizon is the ultimanium service provider in Jacksonville. I get great voice quality and data coverage 4 EVDO and 4 1X CDMA.Was this review helpful to you?
we have to walk out of my home and to the street if I want to get any bars. then I get 3 at the max if the weather is OK. as much as the northside of Jax is growing you would think they would invest in more towers. calls are always dropped when driving on Lem Turner between i-295 and callahan. wouldn't recommend T-Mobile to anyone in this area.Was this review helpful to you?
Verizon has consistent and reliable coverage here in Jacksonville. Dropped calls simply do not happen when I had this service. I have tried Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and then back to Verizon because Verizon simply had the best coverage out of those three. AT&T is great for its rollover plans, which has saved my wallet several times, but it's not cut out for reliability and I barely get reception inside my home.Was this review helpful to you?
Reception is non-existent inside any building on campus at all. Outside you get maybe 1 or 2 bars max. You have to literally leave campus to get any signal.Was this review helpful to you?
Generally have very good to perfect reception indoors and out, in automobiles, and even in the back of the dreaded Walmart Superstore and Sams. Occasionaly drops to 3 bars when I'm very close to a lot of computer equipment. Also get similarly good reception with our Nokia 6103s 6203, and Razer phonesWas this review helpful to you?
4 years ago 1 bar now 4 bars thank goodness for upgrades. There is a tower in the neghbor hood.Was this review helpful to you?
I only get 2-3 bars, but the service is reliable and I never had any dropped calls. The service is generally good everywhere in JAX - indoor and outdoor. I noticed the quality of service is affected by the phone model you use. I get a very good signal with my very old Nokia, OK signal with Samsung T809, and not very reliable service with Motorola V180.Was this review helpful to you?
sure am glad my 2 year T-Mobile contract is almost up. never have been able to use the phone in my home and usually can not use it driving down lem turner between i-295 and callahan without having the calls dropped. T-Mobile should invest in putting up more towers on the northside of jax as this is the area of town that will be having the large population growth next.Was this review helpful to you?
I only get reception on the Naval Air Station on the edge of the base along US-17. I get great coverage everywhere else in Jacksonville, many other cities in Florida, and when I travel around the country. If you work at NAS, T-Mobile is not for you. Elsewhere, I would recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
Dawsons Creek Subdivision in Argyle (past SR 23) has horrible reception. I'm lucky to get 1 bar and when I answer a call... then it drops it. Phones used is: a Razor (1 1 / 2 years old) and my husband uses a New PDA that he just purchased in January (purchased after service provider said to see about upgrading his phone (only 1 year old at the time) to get a better signal. SUCKER! Guess what, it didn't work.Was this review helpful to you?
sprint / Nextel has horrible reception. very un reliable sometimes get business voicemails days later. by far the worst company I have hadWas this review helpful to you?
Poor to no reception. Almost impossible inside. Have had phone reprogrammed. Drops calls continuously; at times powers up on other networks or on roaming repetitively. Sprint suc_ _ pretty badly.Was this review helpful to you?
I swore on my Cingular cell for years. When ATT took over I began swearing at my phone! I never had dropped calls and lousy reception until the exact week of the merger. After 5 years I am switching to another carrier. So long more (empty) bars!Was this review helpful to you?
When Cingular was Cingular we had great reception. As soon as they sold out to AT&T the phone service will not work in the house - unless I stand in my closet or go outside.Was this review helpful to you?
No outgoing service in home, has to go outside, into garage, or pation or to driveway, to make a call... this is ridiculous for the money that I pay each month, just insanely absurd...Was this review helpful to you?
I have had three Samsung SGH807D cell phones and my wife has had two Samsung SGH407D phones with AT&T. My wife and I get very poor service either at home or while I am at work aboard NAS Jacksonville Fl. We both suffer from frequent dropped calls or loss of service entirely. Even when we are traveling down the road we lose connection. When calling each other while I am at work and she is on the road we can not reach each other and even leaving a message sometimes takes several hours for that message to reach the other.Was this review helpful to you?
This phone service is so unreliable! I never know when I will drop a call. So much for safety issues. I may have a signal at home and then it drops it with no warning. I can be talking to someone on the road to my home and the minute I get to my driveway, it's dropped. I cannot believe that Sprint has any customers anymore. Why do they say they are providing a service. It is inferior service and needs to be improved! What's funny though is that my husband is so loyal to this company! We have to go outside in the backyard if we want to take a call on our cell phones. It's not the phones-it's the carrier! Suckie Sprint!Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty good signal here, used to be terrible, but they added a tower or something.Was this review helpful to you?
Terrible. Same poor service from FL to VA. Can't believe our clients still want to use us since they might have to endure 4 to 6 dropped calls during any 10-20 minute conversation. Our contract is up and so is our 7 yr patronage to Nextel (now Sprint). FYI: service was not so great before Sprint bought it out, but now most dropped calls are because Sprint got greedy and oversold the capabilities of the limited towers that service Nextel. We are in construction and are joining the hundreds of contractors abandoning Nextel, especially since other plans now offer Push to Talk or phone only plans. Congrats Sprint--you pushed Nextel into the grave!Was this review helpful to you?
Sprint's reception is extremely substandard on the Southside of Jacksonville unless you are within a stones throw of a store (sometimes that does not help). I receive less than decent service at home and I roam at UNF. I cannot image roaming at a university with over 15,000 students. I truly believe Sprint does not have a clue.Was this review helpful to you?

The IES Abroad Barcelona Summer Language Intensive Program is designed for students who want to engage in intensive Spanish language and culture learning in a four-week study abroad program. The program is equal to an entire semester of Spanish language study and is open to all language levels.
Over the course of the summer, you will come to know Barcelona's vibrant plazas and winding streets through culturally enriching opportunities. The Barcelona Summer Language Intensive Program offers enrollment in Spanish-intensive IES Abroad courses, housing in homestays with local families, and DiscoverIES (course-related excursions & field trips); you will have the opportunity to meet Spanish and international students alike. Starting at the IES Abroad Center in the center of Barcelona near the Plaza Catalunya, this program will help you to gain a meaningful cultural experience and a deeper knowledge of what it means to be a citizen of the world.
After you are admitted, refer to the Travel Dates section of the Predeparture Information in your MyIESabroad account before booking travel.
Our mission is simple: to provide you with the best study abroad program possible—which includes the highest quality academic and cultural experiences. We offer unique courses that explore Spanish language learning through an in-depth and hands-on approach. Our world-class professors enhance your academic experience and provide you with new perspectives each day in class.
Enroll in an intensive Spanish language and conversation class at the Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced level. You spend several hours each day in class, studying language and grammar, and practicing your conversation skills.
Additionally, you immerse yourself in the culture through activities and course-related excursions that involve the current events and daily life in Barcelona and Catalonia.
This is a list of planned course offerings. A final list of course offerings will be made available to you in your MyIESabroad account.
IES Abroad Barcelona organizes DiscoverIES (course-related excursions) that complement what you're learning in the classroom, and contribute to your general knowledge of Spanish culture and society.
We want to make sure that your greatest challenge is deciding which landmarks to see first or discovering the best café—not finding a place to live where you feel comfortable. We do our best to locate housing that is reflective of how the local students are living. Our goal is that when you leave Barcelona, it will feel like home.
Homestays – Normally, two or three IES Abroad students live in a home with local residents and students share a double room. You are provided two meals a day while the program is in session.
Part of making you feel at home in Barcelona is doing our best to help you feel safe and cared for. Whether it is an orientation program that makes you feel prepared, housing that is well-located and comfortable, or field trips that take you to places off the beaten path—we're all about our student services. This is just one of the things we're known for.
The program begins with a 1 day orientation that introduces you to the IES Abroad Barcelona staff, your fellow students, and the city of Barcelona. Topics such as academics, housing, transportation, extra curricular activities, and health and safety are covered during this time..
Additionally, CORE™, IES Abroad's Comprehensive Orientation & Re-entry Experience, begins during orientation and continues throughout the program with activities focusing on cultural adjustment, goal achievement, and preparing for the return home.
Although your adventure begins in Barcelona, our DiscoverIES take you to other great cities in and around Spain. DiscoverIES brings you closer to the Barcelonan and Spanish culture through a broad array of activities that merge together the academic insight provided by field trips and the guidance of our faculty. They provide contrast and context for what you are learning in Barcelona.
You can go on an optional field trip for an additional fee. Possible destinations include:
La Garrotxa
1 Day
Explore volcanic terrain and hike through the forest of this northeastern county of Catalonia.
Montserrat Monastery
1 Day
Spend the day hiking the mountain of Montserrat.
1 Day
Experience this cultural and artistic vacation destination renowned for its beaches, LGBT nightlife, film festivals, and Carnival.

Thank you for the clarification Radio.Active. The second ESC you mentioned is the one that I put in the Corsair.
Not only does it have a metal case with cooling fins, it also has a separate on-off switch attached to a 6" wire. That means hooking up the battery no longer has to be your on-off switch. This is an innovation that has been a long time coming. In the future, all ESC's will probably have this feature.

Interesting discussion! So, I guess if one wants to be on the safe side, but not increase weight by much, the next step up would be the 40-Amp Lite Pro Switch-Mode BEC Brushless ESC, which comes in at 48g (compared to the 31g BEC that comes with the RP). Any opinions on making this switch?

Other options would be a separate BEC, or switch to some other brand of 30 amp ESC.
|May 22, 2012, 07:33 PM
GPS altitudes are said to be not as accurate as a barometric altimeter, but I find them plenty accurate for our purposes. The 3d flight plots are very smoothe. It seems to me that the plots would jump around a lot if altitude was not reasonably consistent and accurate.
|May 22, 2012, 07:47 PM
I have not had any trouble with the esc after a year and a half of heavy use.
As for the weight discussions...ligher is better in the case of light lift. It's easier to add weight if it gets windy. Start light, get heavy if needed.
I don't think the tail needs any reinforcement....but if it makes one feel better....reinforce to taste.

Remember that the discussion started about ADDING things that would draw power from the ESC/BEC. Alone it is probably fine. But add 100 ma draw for some gadget and you might push it over the edge.
Hey Jumpy,
"reinforce to taste", I like that.

Re: tail strengthening. I did it as much to give me some cg adjustment room as anything else, (I had a huge receiver in it at the time andcould barely keep the cg as far back as 70 mm.) In normal flying it doesn't really make any difference. In heavy turbulent conditions (which I unfortunately fly in fairly often) it does make it a little more controllable.
Re: Stock ESC, likewise, I've had no problems. I remember seeing a utube video (I think) about this, and the HH folks were pretty confident that the ESC had enough head room to handle the stock power configuration. Anything past that and you're on your own. And yeah, with all the things we talk about on this forum, if a bunch of ESCs were burning up, I'm sure we'd know!
Good flying!
Re: ESC with an on/off switch. That is a great idea!! I really don't like using a full power connector as a switch.
|May 22, 2012, 08:15 PM
I think the esc is underrated.
After adding the new prop and spinner for better climb, I find my stock batteries to be overstressed...puffing and hot after too many 30 second launches without enough rest. I will be replacing those batteries soon.
Couldn't buy a thermal this weekend, and ended up with several 4 minute flights with 30 second launches in quick succession. If the battery is stressing and the esc is not getting hot, it tells me that the stock esc can handle quite a load.
Also, it was hot, around 90 degrees. I can confirm that hot conditions (density altitude) have a noticable effect on a sailplane's lift. In cooler conditions I normally get at least 4 minutes in dead air on a 30 second burn. This weekend in hot, humid, dead air the plane really wallowed around the sky, seeming to just drag its tail around. Where I would normally get 4 minutes I was averaging 3 or less. Some of that was a noticable reduction in climb rate (also due to density altitude) and less altitude at the 30 second cut-off than in cooler drier air.
Next time I'll make sure to go out in the AM, when it's a bit cooler, and when perhaps a greater temperature differential will generate some thermals.
|May 22, 2012, 08:17 PM
Hope you can come post a time in the Big Sky contest sometime Aeajr! Your idea is still going strong...enjoyed by many.

Just got back from another sweet flight. It was dead calm and there were no thermals. On the dive test it doesn't come up or go down, but just maintains that attitude. I was practicing doing tight turns almost down to ground level and then straightening it out for the landing on the grass. I prefer to land without the flaps if possible, but sometimes use them to get it to drop down suddenly after clearing the trees.
Landing is one of my favorite things to do, and I love watching it milk the ground-effect for as long as possible and then settling down gently into the grass. None of my other planes can do that.

Well that sucks, over the weekend was testing out my altimeter/DX8 and after climbing high to test I was bringing her back down when at about 100ft high the tail completly broke off.
Rudder and elevator came floating down moments later.
Other then the tail damage the fuse and main wings are ok, WOW after seing the grass and dirt fly off from the crash I taught for sure more damage would of resulted for that impact.
The fuse/rudder is all hot glued back together with 2 extra toothpicks and now just waiting for elevator to come in LHS.
Anybody care to PM me and share there taughts/experience.

Such exuberance!! ;)
Love the flower cam!
Go, Vanessa, Go!
Vanessa, you overachiever, you!!!!
Yay!! :)
So cute!
Great guns! She's really popping out! Perhaps at her short stature she won't topple over?
My goodness, she's a winner!
Woo Hoo!
So much more impressive to look at than my avocado seed. *L*
Go, Vanessa, Go! She's either inspiring me to make some progress this weekend, or to relax and leave the doing to her.
