It's time to play my favorite game, which I just invented: Dining with the Stars! Or: An excuse to devote an entire column to celebrity sightings. Why not? So put on your flashiest sequined outfit and take a tour with me through our local dining scene as we highlight the best in recent memory:
• Julia Roberts eating "copious amounts of food" and raving about the lasagna at The Pink Door ... Tom Waits dining under The Pink Door's trapeze and inquiring about its backstory ... Lily Allen and five friends dining late-night on The Pink Door's deck. The night was chilly, so owner Jackie Roberts offered the group jackets and shirts from the wait staff. Lily wore an old flannel shirt Jackie keeps in her office for gardening on the herb deck.
• Jessica Biel having ahi tuna tacos and martinis at Joeys Lake Union with her sister and a friend ... Paul Newman eating a slice of coconut cream pie at Etta's ... Molly Ringwald requesting a window seat at Dahlia Lounge ... Van Morrison reserving a booth at Lola's to be available at any time for a week.
• Al Gore at Waterfront Seafood Grill, where someone joked that the wine he was drinking, The Darkness Syrah, was named after the current political regime.
• Bill Gates sightings: with Bono at Campagne ... with Bill Clinton at Troiani ... with wife Melinda at Joeys Bellevue ... with Paul Allen at the Met.
• Lyle Lovett, K.D. Lang, Diana Krall and Elvis Costello on separate occasions at Barking Frog at Willows Lodge in Woodinville. Best time to spot celebrities there, of course, is during the concert series at Chateau Ste Michelle across the street.
• Adrock (aka Adam Horvitz) of the Beastie Boys having the restaurant's signature "urban bites" at BOKA ... Isabella Rossellini dining at Palace Kitchen ... Anthony Hopkins having halibut at Troiani ... Kid Rock at the Bookstore Bar at the Alexis Hotel.
• Celebrity chefs love Union: Michael Pollan, Michel Richard, Rick Bayless, Marco Pierre White and Anthony Bourdain have all stopped by Ethan Stowell's downtown Seattle restaurant while in town.
• They're still talking about the time Ron Wood and Eddie Vedder stopped by for dinner at Queen City Grill, prompting a flurry of phone calls and text messages from fellow diners about "rock stars at the Queen." Ron Wood's drink of choice: ginger ale.
• Pink posing for photographs at Tulio ... Sean Penn at Sazerac ... Eric Clapton having lunch at Elliott's Oyster House ... Tony Parker and Eva Longoria dining at Canlis ... Drew Barrymore at Frontier Room ... Loni Anderson drinking champagne cocktails at Tulio.
• Coach Mike Holmgren getting a standing ovation from the entire dining room at the Met when he arrived with his family for dinner following last week's victory over the Washington Redskins. They did the same thing when he left.

The story you are about to read is true. The names have NOT been changed to protect the innocent. You may have heard the term, "snow snake," and laughed about the myth as a nothing more than a cute alliteration.
For two area duck hunters, one lucky Labrador Retriever, and me, it is not really a myth -- and certainly not so cute. It was about one year ago, December 19, 2002 when we crossed paths with a pair of water moccasins in Jackson County, Alabama near Stevenson.
"Good gosh, look at that," exclaimed Alan Jones, with a slight waver in his voice. "Hold Sam back," he pleaded. Sam is Ross Malone's Labrador retriever.
It was in the afternoon with a heavy overcast and a serious storm looming on the horizon. The temperature was about 55 degrees. Jones and company had just set out decoys on the Raccoon Creek Wildlife Management Area, hidden the boat and were walking the shoreline back to their hunting spot.
Sam spotted the pair of snakes at the same time Jones saw them. Malone's commands to leave them alone went unheeded by the curious dog. "I knew we were in trouble when I saw that cottonmouth cornered against the tree," said Malone. "She has never seen a snake that I know of and these were definitely not the introductory type. This was one time I could not get my gun loaded fast enough."
Water moccasins, also known as cottonmouths, are the most aggressive of all the poisonous snakes. Rattlesnakes and copperheads will typically flee when they hear trouble coming. A cottonmouth will stand its ground. Sam was quickly headed for trouble.
The largest snake, just over 3-feet long, sat in an S-shape coil. As Sam rushed in to investigate, the cottonmouth lunged. Fortunately the cool temperature slowed the snake and the strike came with less-than-lightning-like speed. Sam's reflexes were faster and the fangs fell short of her nose.
I do not advocate killing snakes. They keep the world from being overrun with rats, mice and other vermin. I am not ashamed however, to tell you that these two residents of our duck hunting hole were dispatched. Examined quite closely, fangs and all, the identity was indisputable.
"Did you take any pictures of them," asked Phil Neil, the head of the Hunter Education program for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and an avid herpetologist. The answer was "no," but Neil wasn't overly surprised to hear about the sighting. They're rare, but most range maps indicate water moccasins are found in North Alabama. Neil says you won't find one in East Tennessee however.
There's an old adage when it comes to snake stories -- "The first liar never has a chance." In other words, tell your favorite snake story and your buddy can always top it.
That means that nearly all of us have heard stories of so-called "water moccasins" on area lakes and streams in Southeast Tennessee. Neil insists there has never been a documented case of a cottonmouth in our part of the state. He says, "draw a line north and south through Nashville and I've never heard of a water moccasin being found east of that line. If somebody finds one I'd like to see it."
There are a couple of species of extremely common water snakes throughout Southeast Tennessee. All are non-poisonous, but frequently confused with water moccasins since they are almost always spotted in the water.
Jim Miller, TWRA Assistant Area Supervisor from Cleveland, said, "we have people tell us all the time about seeing water moccasins. But we tell them it probably was a common banded water snake. I guess there's always the possibility that there's (a water moccasin) out there, but nobody has ever confirmed it."
Neil adds that it is unusual to see snakes out in December, "However the underground temperature usually stays around 50 or 52 degrees," he said. "So whenever the air temperature gets higher than that they're liable to crawl out and try to soak up a little extra warmth."
So how do you know the difference between a common water snake and a cottonmouth?
There are lots of tiny details experts look for. You've heard most of them…. oval heads versus triangular heads. Round pupils versus vertical slit pupils. All of those details are very obvious to experts. They are not at all obvious to novices, especially "in the heat of battle."
I'm no expert but I'll tell you that when you see a poisonous snake, you'll know it. They simply have a different "look" about them. In human terms, poisonous snakes look like WWF wrestlers compared to marathon runners. In the case of a cottonmouth, they will typically open their mouth in an aggressive posture, and the "cotton" mouth will be obvious.
If you're not sure, just leave it alone. The overwhelming majority of snakebites in the world come when someone is trying to catch or "play" with a snake.
Neil says no one is sure why the Tennessee/Alabama line appears to be a barrier for water moccasins. "Some people say it's a factor of elevation. Nobody really knows why but they simply are never found in the upper Tennessee River."
According to a map the cottonmouths we encountered were exactly 15 miles river miles south of the Tennessee/Alabama line. And some would say that's too close for comfort.

Arsenal's Spartan 14: Elitist without elitism
Apr 23, 2009
Among the nearly 600 Watervliet Arsenal employees is a small group of adventurists who should be called the Spartan 14. These 14 are not exactly like King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans at Thermopylae, but don't think that these select few are anything other than warriors who readily accept risk when others may take the safer road. These elite machinists make up the Arsenal's prototype components development team.
Local Students Shadow Redstone Workers for Day
Apr 23, 2009

But new this year is the integration of a pilot program called Army Education Outreach Program launched by the Aviation and Missile Command. The AEOP is designed to engage and guide students and teachers in science, math, engineering and technology. Shadow Day was hosted by AMCOM in partnership with the Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center. "Today, you are a part of an effort to explain what we do," said Ronnie Chronister, AMCOM deputy commander. He welcomed the students at SED and explained the command's mission as it relates to the different organizations that the students were about to experience. "What we do is all about supporting Soldiers out there who are fighting for us every day."

The state of Kentucky was not surprised during the last week of January this year by an incapacitating ice-storm.

Area shelters were open to feed thousands of people who were without, and provide shelter to those who needed a warm place to sleep, as temperatures dipped into the teens.
Community Turns Out to Cheer Reserve Engineers
Apr 23, 2009
Spc. Ryan Roussell of Huntsville and Spc. David Allen of Madison have something they are taking with them to Iraq that will remind them of home in Alabama. They are taking each other. The two Reserve Soldiers have been friends since they were little boys. Now, they are marching off together to join in overseas contingency operations as members of the Reserve's 375th Engineering Company based in Huntsville. Both single, the two Soldiers are looking forward to seeing a different part of the world, serving their country while wearing the uniform and making a difference in the lives of people who have lived through war, death and destruction. They will be among 180 Soldiers who will deploy to Iraq for a year to join efforts in rebuilding forward operating bases, and community buildings and infrastructure. "I'm ready for it and I'm excited. I'm ready to go and do what needs to be done for the country and come back safe," Roussell said, as his family surrounded him following a deployment ceremony for the 375th at Butler High School on April 11. "It's good," said his grandfather, 84-year-old Bill Roussell, a World War II veteran. "He wouldn't be satisfied unless he went over there. He's been a Soldier for two years and this is what he needs to do."

Garrison Intern Learning Other Side of Mission
Apr 22, 2009
Sonya Fultz understands about supporting Soldiers. She was one for 24 years. Fultz retired from active duty in 2005 as the supply property accountability NCO for the 59th Ordnance Brigade. She has returned to the Army as a civilian in the Garrison Intern Program. "I loved what I did for the Army," she said. "So when openings were posted, I applied." Fultz has started her first rotation in the Directorate of Logistics since she came onboard at the beginning of March. While she is getting used to the civilian side of things, logistics is something she understands. "I'm supporting reconciliations," she said. "What we do is identify organizations who have requisitions open to find out if they still need the equipment, if we should cancel the request or if we can help them to make sure they get what they need on time."

Garrison Intern Returns to her Childhood Roots
Apr 15, 2009
Candra Buchanan knows a lot about support for Soldiers and their families because she grew up as a military child. Now as a member of the Garrison Intern Program, she wants to do what she can for future generations. Born in Huntsville, she traveled as a military family member. "We lived all over the world," she said. "I grew up on military bases." The experience helped mold Buchanan's personality. "I'm laid back," she said. "I'm more of an observer. Going to different countries and always meeting new people, I learned to sit back and watch a little at first. I like to kind of assess the situation before I jump in."
Education Outreach Aimed at Inspiring Future Workers
Apr 15, 2009
Recruiting for civilian jobs at Redstone Arsenal can start at an early age. While high school students would naturally be the primary target for Army civilians involved in AMCOM's Education Outreach Program, they are also talking to children in local elementary and middle schools in hopes of inspiring younger students who have an interest in science and math to someday look to the Arsenal for employment. BRAC and the decline in the number of young people entering science and math fields has caused "concern about having enough people to fill jobs," AMCOM deputy commander Ronnie Chronister said. "This is an opportunity for mission failure. We want kids in high school and college thinking they have an opportunity for a career at Redstone Arsenal."
Thanking Civilians for Joining the War Effort
Apr 15, 2009
Crispin Banda has deployed to Iraq three times. But that's not enough. He has just volunteered to deploy a fourth time. He will leave in June for a 179-day deployment to Balad. Although he is very much a part of today's war effort, Banda no longer wears a uniform. The retired sergeant first class deploys as a civilian, representing the Logistics Support Activity and the logistics information warehouse. What motivates Banda to volunteer to travel to a war zone' The eyes of the Soldiers. "I've traveled all through Iraq training Soldiers," he said. "It's all about the war fighter. I can see it in their eyes. I want to be there to help them. I feel our mission is important to the war fighter. I'm a DA civilian teaching them. I don't carry a gun. I carry the weapon of knowledge."
Redstone Arsenal Gates Entering Modern Era
Apr 15, 2009
On the surface, the changes taking place at Redstone Arsenal's gates may look to drivers like a move toward modernization. Although modernization is certainly one objective of the renovations, for security personnel working for the Directorate of Emergency Services the changes also represent a move toward additional safety and security for the entire Redstone Arsenal community. With this week's opening of the new Gate 1 on Martin Road, Arsenal employees will get a driver's view of the new gate house, guard booths, overhead canopy, curbing, speed humps, truck bypass and emergency traffic signals. What they won't see is the steel cable grab-it net that has been installed just underneath the road surface that can be instantly activated to stop vehicles from entering or exiting the Arsenal. "All of our gates will eventually have this modern new appearance," said Phil Harrell, director of Emergency Services. "It is a standard Department of the Army design that has been used by our Directorate of Public Works and its contractors, and certified by the Corps of Engineers."
Honoring Those Behind the Soldier
Apr 15, 2009
Although the members of the Third Region of the Association of the U.S. Army do a lot to support the Soldier, a retired member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told those attending the region's annual awards dinner that they don't "truly understand" how important that support is to Soldiers and their families. And, he added, support for the Soldier within the Third Region is strongest in the area represented by AUSA's Redstone-Huntsville chapter. "What this great community does for Soldiers and their families here ... I don't think you truly understand what it means when you put your arms around these Soldiers," said retired Gen. Gordon Sullivan, whose 36 years of service culminated with his role as the 32nd chief of staff - the senior general officer in the Army - and as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is now the AUSA president and chief operating officer.

Noncommissioned Officer Won't Let Words Stop Him
Apr 10, 2009
Overcoming obstacles is a major part of growth in the Army. Triumphing over fear and hindrance helps develop a Soldier's desire to strive toward greatness. Sometimes you have to battle everyday to excel in your career. Such is the case with Staff Sgt. David Miron of the NCO Academy who battles a stammer when he speaks. It's something he has been dealing with since childhood and something he refuses to let stop him from achieving his goal in the Army and in life. "I think when I was about 4 or 5 is when I started seeing a speech therapist, and continued seeing the therapist for most of grade school," said Miron, looking back to when he first noticed his stammer.

Capturing success, Crane interns excel
Apr 7, 2009
Having a "go get it attitude" is commendable for many in the under 30 group.

Situations that are designed for the select and equally selective are indeed worthy of putting forth your best effort.

Watervliet Arsenal makes being a tanker cool
Apr 6, 2009
Think of the Soldiers who must button-up in a heavily reinforced armored vehicle in such places as Iraq and Kuwait without air conditioning. In this extreme heat environment, they must remain cool, at least in an emotional sense, because the battlefield information they must quickly decipher and the split decisions they must make require Soldiers and leaders to remain calm and collected regardless of the harsh operating environment. This is where the U.S. Army Watervliet Arsenal comes in to make our troops cooler.

National Coalition Works on Behalf of Military Children
Apr 2, 2009
During her husband's 36-year career in the Army, Nancy Jones moved her family - including three school-age daughters -- more than 20 times. Jones and her husband, retired Lt. Gen. Tony Jones, are now settled in Huntsville. But during their military years, their mobile lifestyle meant each daughter shared in at least 17 family moves. Between them, the girls enrolled in 33 different schools during their school-age years. A teacher by profession, Jones was able to advocate for her daughters, helping their school administrators, counselors and teachers understand the challenges that military children endure when they are affected by mobility, family separation and transition. But, for most military families, knowing how and when to advocate for their children can be confusing, difficult and intimidating. "Young Soldiers may not have had a good school experience themselves. Or, as young parents, they may not know how to go about having a school conference with their children's teacher," Jones said. "We need to train military parents to be advocates for their children."

Outdoor Enthusiast Finds Calling as Garrison Intern
Apr 2, 2009
The journey that has brought Christine Easterwood to the Garrison Intern Program has taken her far from where she thought she'd be. But she has loved it every step of the way. She is a native of Madrid, N.Y., a small upstate town close to the Canadian border. When Easterwood graduated from Clarkson University in 2002 with a bachelor's in biology, she thought she knew where she was headed professionally. She began applying for graduate programs in oceanography. Meanwhile, she took a job with the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service as a way to work in a similar field. Instead, she found herself changing plans. "It started as just a summer job," she said. "It turned into a permanent position and opened the door for grad school. It changed me from a lab biologist into a field biologist."
Keeping the Army Moving, One Calibration at a Time
Apr 2, 2009
Every military occupation specialty plays a role in helping the Army in its missions. But what if the Army couldn't move' What if its radios couldn't communicate' What would the Army do' That's where these guys come in: the Soldiers preparing to become the latest batch of 94H, otherwise known as Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment support specialists, currently training with 832nd Ordnance Battalion at Toftoy Hall. These Soldiers will ensure all the equipment used in the Army properly functions and if not, then make it function. While stationed at Redstone, they undergo rigorous training to become experts in their skill. "We're teaching these (Soldiers) how to maintain and calibrate the test equipment that is used everywhere in the Army," said Brandon Kitchens, an instructor for the 94H and a former member of the Navy for 10 years. "Everything in the Army, at some point, has to be tested, verified or calibrated to make sure it works properly," he said. "It could be anything from radios to radar or even laser bomb guidance. Everything has to be tested so we're giving these guys the tools they need to maintain any equipment that needs to be repaired.

School Age Children Enjoy Gift of New Building
Apr 2, 2009
Elementary school children have a brand new home on post - and it's a blast of a place to hang out. There's a Techno Room where kids can play videogames and ride a simulated skateboard and a Drama Room where kids can practice ballet at the bar or build their own set. There's a high-energy gym, homework and computer labs, an art room and a welcoming atrium for plenty of downtime with friends. On a recent afternoon at the new School Age Services Center, staff member Laquita Payne played Battleship with 9-year-old Chelsy Robinson and 7-year-old Matthew Snyder in the atrium while a bunch of rowdy kids played with balls in the gym and John Butler and Jaylan Johnson, both fifth-graders at Williams Elementary School, worked on their homework in the Homework Lab. Every few minutes, a parent checked in at the main desk to pick up their children. "This is really nice. I was so surprised," said mom Lashonda Washington, who works at AMRDEC and who stopped in to pick up her two sons, Juwan and Jamal.

The event began with comments by military leaders in Pagano Gym due to inclement weather and then moved to the front of the building during a break in the rain for the actual ribbon cutting. The new red-brick facility represents a major upgrade from the battalion's previous headquarters at Fort Gillem, Ga. "We were in the last World War I and World War II era barracks on Fort Gillem," said Lt. Col. Walt Stanish, the battalion's commander. "When the wind blew hard, dust would come up through the floor."

Can you tell me why when I use a top coat on acrylic nails the shine does not come out well? I must admit I don't do the three-way shine after using the final white block prior to a polish application, but is there a best top coat for pure, long-lasting shine?
There are two different kinds of top coats: air-dry top coats and gel top coats. The air-dry top coats do not shine as well as the gel top coats.
I suggest using a gel top coat, and I recommend Young Nails' Finish Gel. It cures in 90 seconds and guarantees a two-week shine.
Lamp and bulbs also make a difference in final shine. I recommend using 9-watt bulbs and four bulbs in a lamp as ideal.
You also mention you're using polish. Keep in mind that you cannot use a gel top coat over polish. If the polish is not 100% dry it will crack the gel top coat. If you're putting polish on, then in that case you should use an air-dry top coat. I suggest Young Nails' Ultra Violet (YUV) top coat. It has a purple hue to make colors really pop.
— Amanda Dodge is a Young Nails educator from American Fork, Utah.
If you're going to use an air-dry top coat, remember that the smoother the surface the top coat is applied to, the better the shine results will be. This means moving up through file grits from 180 up to at least a 1,200-grit buffer, which I use with oil. I recommend using CND's Solar Oil because it penetrates and actually speeds the curing process of the acrylic. Then, after cleaning the nails to remove excess oil, I apply both a base coat and top coat. Here again I go with CND products. Stickey Base Coat is great and helps fill in any possible remaining roughness and helps the top coat stick better. I follow with Super Shiney Top Coat. It leaves a really hard finish, has UV inhibitors, and keeps a lasting shine.
— Bonnie Rios is an educator for CND from Rio Rancho, N.M.

Okay, silly question for you Stryker enthusiasts. It looks like my 5 year old Stryker stock motor shaft is slightly bent so I get bad vibrations when I go to fly. I really just want to replace the motor and get back flying and am not all that interested in going really fast. There's not much room to do that in New England anyway even if I wanted to.
So, to keep costs down, I would rather just use the existing mount and replace the motor. Can that be done without breaking the motor mount? If so, would an ARC 28-37-4 motor be a good, comparable replacement? Sorry for the noob type questions. I'm mainly a slower plane/FPV guy so I can tell you all about that but am not all that familiar with my Stryker as it's been a while since I've flown it. Thanks! |

Thank you oly.
Now if I can just remember that tip a month from now. Balsa and hinges are ordered. Thanks guys, this should help my Strykers a lot. If I just knew which size elevon stock to use. (1 1/2" or 2" - ordered both) Just moderate power - 600 700W I'm guessing 1 1/2 now and 2 if I increase speed/weight? |

I've got 3 Stryker F27C in various stages of build
2 light ones for friends, and a mid weight for me All 3 will have 2" elevons, waiting on shipping info from lone star balsa Hopefully they will have a higher roll rate with the wider elevons FCA |

elevon hinges
How are you guys doing your hinges? Mopar, I started reading your Part 8 thread where I think you did CA hinges followed up by tape hinges. Is this much durability needed on a mid power setup? ( I'm considering mine middle of the road- 22/20/F5De, 3 or 4S, 4500-3500, 8 or 7 X ? Prop.) I was thinking about using tape only hinges.... they're working great on my high power Demon 40. Also thinking about using the stock verticals... I like the way they look. Bad idea?
Hopefully motor will be headed west this week, yours too Mopar! |
Oct 09, 2012, 09:13 AM | |
You will definately need wooden verticals of you plan on any prop over 7"
The tape on my builds was only for sealing the gap on the elevon to trailing edge, the 3m blenderm is not good for strength. Tape hinges have been used by Peter M very well on his Strykers, if done well, they should be just fine, although I dont know how durable they will end up being, Peter M might have more insight into that. Personally, none of my elevons ever failed at their hinges, and I would rather land with tight hinges than crash with an elevon thats ready to come off, or has just come off. So long as you can keep them attached, it should be fine. I consider flying with wet weather or landing in wet grass ....................... water easily makes sticky tape turn into non-stick tape .................................... Got the word on the motor ............. great news as I am about to put together another build and thats the motor for it !! |
Oct 09, 2012, 11:53 AM | |
Use sheats of ply painted with epoxy for verticals. Use the stock vertical as a template or look for a template of alternative designs here in this thread. There should be at least 2 or 3 different designs posted about 18 months ago.
I have also used 4mm Plexiglass and it's very good for this purpose if you know how to cut it right. |
Oct 09, 2012, 12:00 PM | ||
I meant that you will definately need wood verticals if you run any prop over 7" The larger props suck in the stock verticals, then they get chewed up by the prop, and you crash because there aint no verticals anymore ............ |

Rating: 5/5Great ComputerThis review is from: ASUS S56CA-XH71 15.6-inch Ultrabook Pros: Great price, good computer no problems. Windows 7 64 bit! Has small SSD included which helps on boot. Cons: Screen res is a little lower not a big issue for me but it might bother some people. Mouse isn't very good but I bought a cheap external. Upgrade the ram you will be glad you did. Other Thoughts: If you up the ram and get an external mouse this computer becomes awesome. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Rating: 5/5Sleek, thin, poweredThis review is from: ASUS S56CA-XH71 15.6-inch Ultrabook Pros: Have to say, I was a little under suspecting, as this is a less expensive model, and just thought I'd had to buy less power and persuasion than the higher model. Really, IMO< it's merely the Platter HD and 4GB of memory that will be upgraded eventually. The thing purrs and runs without a hiccup. My hesitations were unfounded, it's a solid unit. Cons: In this day and age with memory costing so little, to ship a ultrabook with only 4GB of memory is a crime. I instantly stuck a additional 8GB stick in and performance picked up noticeably. Other Thoughts: W7 Professional 64-bit was a bit of a gift. Like that. Making it business friendly. Learn from my stress, this unit is not a settling for less, it is a fine model worth every penny, and again, IMO, worthy of not spending much more for some inexpensive upgrades one could do themselves. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful.
