my friend has a mega 4 turn with a 2.8:1 gearbox from GWS. He modified the gearbox to fit the mega. My friend is experimenting now with different gear ratio to get the power system that he likes for his Zero. Then he will get a better and sturdy gearbox for this since the GWS gearbox is very good but too fragile. That gearbox is for those speed 300 and can not withstand the high power of the mega brushless for very long. And this power system is awesome: mega 4t, 2.8:1 gearbox, 10x1000 Hecell pack, 10x7 Apc prop. You have to see the unlimited vertical performance of his Zero, just straight up in to the sky... like a rocket. We are still looking for a good, sturdy and quiet gearbox for this. The mega gearbox is very good but known for its noise so we probably will go for the helical gearbox for better efficiency and nice sound or the belt drive from http://www.modelairtech.com/ |

if you are making a power house Zero with brushless, beside that CF rod, you need a couple strips of straping tape across the wing, also make sure the nut and bolt, that hold the wings to the fuse, firmly in place, maybe with epoxy, and reinforce the fuse around the trailing edge of the wings. That is what we did with ours. This afternoon, at lunch time, my friend's power house zero, off his hand, went straight up into the sky, really unlimited vertical; It got smaller, smaller, smaller then diappeared in my eyes. So my friend had to make a hammerhead, make a dive to take it back to our visual.. just unbeleivable... like a small scale space shuttle, not at kennedy space center, but at the park... Gosh... I still can not believed my eyes this afternnon... What a super Zero he got My Zero has similar power system; it is very interesting to see two Zeros dual in the sky; ond white and one green dogfight in the sky :-) :-) :-) But I just enjoy my supersonic Wattage Mirage 2000 for now, not really unlimited vertical but about 92mph horizontally. Gosh... so many planes, so little time. Beside those GWS, there are hobby-lobby, global, wattage, mark rittiger, jim ryan, nesail... gosh.... too many great planes out there... |

My GWS ZERO with new Paint Job!
Here's my GWS ZERO with new paint job.
The green paint job from MODEL MASTERS, AERO EURO GREEN, #4729. The Gray paint job from MODEL MASTERS, DARK GULL GRAY, #4729. My GWS ZERO looks much better than the stock color from the box since it can be seen during overcast days and I can fly it away from me a little farther than before. Also, has anyone seen the new EPS-400C? Looks like an inexpensive way to boost the stock motor combination to the next level short of going to brushless!! http://www.gws.com.tw/english/produc...em/eps400c.htm No data sheet yet but, must produce over 15oz. of thrust with similar reduction gear of that from EPS-300 series. Regards, Carlos. |

This mornings Flight Report
Space Center Field was very nice this morning and... Able to do three inverted passes and inside loops with 5MPH west breeze! At full juice, I was able to command the ZERO in three inside loops with great results and it looked very good. The inverted passes were very stable as well. The shim at the front leading edge works! A little additional negative thrust angle at the EPS mount aids also. Will fly on Saturday morning in Orlando. Regards, Carlos. |

I will try those photos soon... And This Super Zero has a huge amount of thrust, strong wind or gusty wind only making the flight more interesting, more fun, with drooping jaw faces looking at it, not challenging at all. Thank you matt, I will try it soon as I get the Video... I love the Zero, It has lot of potential, soon as you throw away that sissy GWS motor and those gear craps, You will have a monster in the air :-) :-) :-) |

(WVTM) The recent death of a Georgia child in a hot car has law enforcement trying to educate the public on the danger.
Alabama's Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue Department held a demonstration to show just how hot it can get inside of a car by baking cookies inside.
The hotter it got inside the car, the faster the cookies baked. The first batch was ready in about 40 minutes.
As the clock counted closer to noon, every half hour the temperature rose by about 15 degrees.
The fire department said a child's body temperature can rise up to five times faster than that of an adult, and heatstroke can occur in temperatures as low as 57 degrees, and on a day when the temperature is just 80 degrees, a car can reach deadly levels in 10 minutes.

SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drive review (32GB)

SanDisk's Connect Wireless Media Drive can be used to wirelessly stream and transfer content to and from Android and iOS devices
If you're looking to buy solid state drives (SSDs) from SanDisk to speed up your servers, you might be out of luck. A California court has issued a preliminary sales ban for controller chips that SanDisk uses in its high-speed SSDs.
SanDisk has launched a new version of its small USB stick that can help transfer pictures, video and other files between computers and smartphones.
Partners Toshiba and SanDisk have developed 15-nanometer process technology for NAND flash memory widely used in smartphones and tablets.
SanDisk showed off a 64GB version of its Connect Wireless Flash Drive at the 2014 International CES show on Monday, an upgrade to a small drive announced last July that lets users send data such as photos and videos across platforms via Wi-Fi.
SanDisk is kicking off the new year with two new solid-state disk drives (SSDs) that should bring performance boosts for PC users.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Stick repair system helps hockey parents save
It isn't every day that something comes along that makes it cheaper to be a hockey parent. But that's exactly what Dave Langill is doing with his new business, Integral Hockey Winnipeg.
Langill is a local franchise owner of a B.C.-based company whose patent-pending technology makes it possible to repair carbon-fibre hockey sticks for a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new stick.
Rather than shelling out another $150, $250 or even $350 for a replacement, hockey parents or recreational players can now turn to Langill and have their broken stick put back together for just $65.
"I was looking for business opportunities on Kijiji of all places and this one popped out," said the Lockport resident, who has drop-off locations for broken sticks at Jonathan Toews Community Centre and Maples Community Centre, and expects to add more in other parts of the city soon.
"I did some research, and saw that Hockey Canada endorsed it. The people I've repaired sticks for are saying the stick performs as well as it did before."
The repair method was invented by Randy Langille of Port Alberni, B.C., who worked in the aircraft parts manufacturing field. When complete, the repair leaves the stick slightly shorter, and with a barely visible seam.
"In the past the only way to make a repair was by using a solid plug in the shaft," Langill said. "But that won't allow the stick to flex. This is the first hollow repair."
When Langill shows skeptical customers that the stick flexes just like it did before it broke, they're usually sold on his method.
"One customer spent about $200 on a high-quality stick when it was on sale, and their kid had it hit with a shot near the top of the shaft," he said. "The answer from the parent was that it appears to play like it did before."
Essentially, Langill considers his service an extended warranty for hockey sticks that doesn't need to be purchased until it's needed. He also guarantees his repair for 36 days, promising to fix any breaks within 2 1/2 inches of his seam.
Langill is hoping to sign junior and AAA teams to season-long contracts. A typical Junior A team spends anywhere from $20,000 to $25,000 a year on sticks, he said.
"Some coaches want their players to use the repaired sticks in practice and save the new ones for games," he said. "That could save the teams thousands of dollars."

Hey guys!
My name is Nix and I am thinking about pursuing Graphic Design as a future career.
I am only fifteen so I still have a long way to go yet but seeing as I have to choose prerequisites I have to decide what I want to do now.
However I have a rather.... shall we say... obsessive personality?
In the way that I like to know all the information I can find about a certain subject, especially if I am considering it as a possibility.
So I have been emailing local graphic designers both freelance and Agency however I have only got one reply back so far.
I have a Bamboo Graphic tablet as well as Photoshop Elements and SAI paint tool and am always drawing.
This I did when I was messing around on SAI, she is one of my characters and she is a Transformer.
So while I am here may I ask a few questions if that's ok?
*What do you think is better, Freelance or Agency? (Particularly for starting out)
*How hard is it to find good work?
*Are there any tips you could offer about starting up?
Thanks heaps guys!

By the way, it's a competitive field out there so don't be discouraged if your emails aren't met with much. If you're looking for a job placement or internship, you generally need some design education first. For example, I would only accept a 3rd year design student as an intern. Many other workplaces would feel the same.
But then again, I got a couple of days at some design studios when I was 16. Just job shadowing, not internship. Worth doing to see if you actually enjoy the work. Graphic design might not be as glamorous as you think. I almost fell asleep on one of my job shadow days. I think I was watching a designer set up a text heavy book.It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?" Winnie the Pooh
Since you're 15 I'll put the soft puffy gloves on...
Graphic design is only about 40% art. It's good you like drawing and playing around with raster programs but there is a lot more to graphic design beyond the pretty pictures. In all honesty it is sometimes more about making pleasing layouts that work using furnished elements rather than being able to come up with your own original art. A lot of times there isn't time in a project to spend doing original illustration nor are there clients willing to take the risk.
Not sure how the school system works in Australia so will let others from there tell you what pre-college courses to take.
The field is competitive. So many people think they can freelance directly out of school. Freelancing is a business. Not only do you have to do your clients' work on time, you also have to run said business. For a freelancer, more time is taken up hunting down work, following up on jobs, accounting, negotiating and running around town to printers' and clients' offices than actually designing. I never recommend a student fresh out of school going out on their own freelancing gig. Learn the industry first under the direction of someone you can learn something from (ie get a job).

The Malik Report
He's up, he's down, he's Xavier Ouellet
by George Malik on 10/24/13 at 12:28 PM ET
Comments (5)
The Red Wings won't play again until Saturday, and the Grand Rapids Griffins open a set of 3 games in 3 nights by hosting the Charlotte Checkers on Friday, so Xavier Ouellet's driving back up I-96 today:
… Defenseman has Played One Game with Detroit, Five with Grand Rapids as First-Year Pro …DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings today assigned defenseman Xavier Ouellet to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
Ouellet, 20, made his NHL debut with Detroit on Monday, recording one shot, one hit and 17:15 of ice time in a 1-0 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks on Monday. A first-year pro from Bayonne, France, Ouellet has also suited up in five games for the Griffins, registering two assists and a plus-one rating. Last season, he skated in 50 games with the QMJHL's Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, recording 41 points and earning a spot on the QMJHL First All-Star Team for the second straight year. He finished his major junior career with 160 points (41-119-160) in 223 games from 2009-13 with Blainville-Boisbriand and the Montreal Juniors.
Filed in: | The Malik Report | Permalink
NOOOO. I want him to play on Saturday!! George, as of right now, Kyle Quincey is -8 and Brendan Smith is -9, I believe. That is terrible. We just got throttled 6-1. Why not let Xavier play instead of Brendan Smith?
Posted by ZandPasha11 on 10/24/13 at 12:34 PM ET
Send Quincey and Smith to Grand Rapids.
Give us Ouellete and Sproul.

Where Dead Voices Gather Went To London!
Well, the UEA conference was a tremendous success. I showed up a bit late because of London's street signs (they're inconsistent, at best, completely absent at worst), but was in time to hear all of the papers. For those who care, here is the day's program:
9.00 - 9.30 - Coffee and Registration
9.30 - 9.45 - Welcome - Ross Hair & Thomas Ruys Smith, School of American Studies, University of East Anglia
9.45 - 11.00 - Keynote - Professor Geoff Ward, Royal Holloway, University of London: '"Spun in a wheel of vertigo": Harry Smith and the Magic of History'
11.00 - 11.15 - Coffee
11.15 - 13.00 - Volume 1: Context -
Rani Singh, Director of the Harry Smith Archives, '"America Changed Through Music": Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music Turns 60'
Rory Crutchfield - University of Glasgow, 'An Act of Cultural Subversion? Conceits and Critical Responses to the Anthology'
Ross Hair, University of East Anglia, 'Harry Smith, the American Diogenes'
Kurt Gegenhuber, The Celestial Monochord, 'Smith's Amnesia Theater: "Moonshiner's Dance" in the Context of The Anthology of American Folk Music
13.00 - 13.45 - Lunch
13.45 - 15.00 - Volume 2: Influence -
James Boaden, University of York, 'Stan Brakhage and Films in the Folk Style'
Phil Langran, University of Lincoln, 'Writing the South: Harry Smith and the Stories of William Gay'
Paola Ferraro, University of Rome, La Sapienza, 'The New "New Weird America" of U.S. Black Metal: Returning to Appalachia with Panopticon's Kentucky
15.00 - 15.15 - Volume 3: Legacy -
Alexander M. Stern, Where Dead Voices Gather, 'Technology and the Anthology: From Shellac to the Cloud'
Jake Faulkner, California Institute of the Arts, 'Re-envisioning America: A Multimedia Homage to Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music
16:30 - 18.00 - Music - 'Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music at 60: A Transatlantic Legacy' featuring performances by Rapunzel & Sedayne and Ewan D. Rodgers
The day was amazing and full of highlights: Kurt Gegenhuber's enthusiastic presentation, punctuated by repeated exclamations of "What are you gonna do with that cow? Improvise, Frankie!"; learning about the novels of William Gay, with whom I was not previously familiar and who I plan on reading ASAP; Paola Ferraro's fascinating discussion of the influence of American Folk Music on the new wave of American Death Metal; meeting Rani Singh and listening to her stories about Harry Smith's last years; meeting Jake Faulkner and hearing/seeing the incredible works of art he commissioned for his multimedia project (including an amazing black and white film set to "The Wild Wagoner" that seemed equally influenced by A Hard Day's Night and the cover to The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan); not to mention meeting some incredible people, listening to the free exchange of ideas through the medium of a shared passion, and hearing some truly inspired musical performances.
I must say that of all of the papers, mine was probably the least academic and least scholarly. It was somewhat daunting to make my relatively simple observations about the Anthology and my experience blogging about it. Nonetheless, it was an honor to speak on the same stage with all of the others and I was made to feel most welcome. Many thanks to Ross and Thomas for putting this together. It was truly the experience of a lifetime. I would also like to thank everyone who presented. It was a privilege to hear your ideas and to have an opportunity to speak with you. Finally, I would like to thank those who attended. It was a pleasure to meet so many fascinating people. It was an experience I'll not soon forget.
In addition, I recently discovered that the Financial Times did an article on the conference and the Anthology and this blog got a mention. Pretty cool! Check it out...
Below are some videos featuring Rapunzel and Sedayne (aka Rachel McCarron and Sean Breadin) and Ewan D. Rodgers.

Soaring like an EAGLE !
Well it's not like you'll be heartbroken if Colorado loses tonight.
last time I was at the dentist, I was like "oh yeah, TOTALLY BEEN FLOSSING when I remember like every couple days!! " and my dentist looked at my teeth and gushed over the marked improvement because she could totally tell! when in reality, I HAD NOT FLOSSED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
and a conspiracy theory was born that day.
(I am however very meticulous about brushing my teeth lol)
Hahaha yeah, they usually buy the flossing story. I had one dentist who wasn't very nice and when I told him I truthfully didn't floss that often, his response was "well I guarantee you if I served the stuff that stays between your teeth to you on a cracker you wouldn't want it." Yet he later said that they actually looked good. Needless to say I didn't go back to him.
Quiet afternoon is quiet.
I'd hate to be a Colorado fan right about now. 4-0 going into the 3rd period. Great day to be a Sharks fan!

My husband didn't have a very good example of "great" parenting when he was growing up and it has really become apparent with our two little ones. He is extremely hands off and really despondent when it comes to spending time with our little ones. I feel really disappointed and frustrated as I end up having to parent for both of us. I would love some book suggestions or advice!

I feel that in order to change someone's behavior, encouragement is always better than force. E.g. Make it clear that you need help, and ask for it. Tell him when you are exhausted, and ask nicely for his help. Be appreciative of any effort, even the slightest. Let him know it's hard on you too, teamwork is key. Lead by example.
Posted 04/07/2014
My husband is a good father at heart, but his actions may not proves otherwise. I always have to tell him to do certain things with my son and he usually has no problem doing it. The way I figure is that some men just need a little guidance, especially when they lack the experience for themselves.
Be patient with him and with your guidance, he will get there. Oh, also, show praise when he is doing something good.
Good luck...

I would say just be encouraging, plan some family events, or find things that he would probably like taking them to. The zoo or the children's museum. There are times I think I'm a terrible mom, but it's because I've never really been around little kids til LO, but it feels really good when my husband says something that LO does better with me than him (I've taken her to restaurants since she was small, and she does really well with me, not so good with DH, but we're working on it)
Posted 04/07/2014
Ask him to think about what he wants his relationship with LO to be like in 15 or 25 years. Then think of concrete steps to make it happen. Maybe even make a list of what to do every year or every week to accomplish that goal. This works with people who don't have a strong example to fall back on naturally.
You also said he's "despondent" when spending time with LO which makes me wonder if he has depression or other mood problems. Good luck!

Yes! Men need things to be spelled out. Sometimes I just have to tell Dh to take the kids to the park or play with him. I also include him in everything.

Yes, Its loading extremely slow since the past 20 hours ,sometimes it does not even load up the main page .
To top it off i have more than a 100 tickets to anwser for Three Themeforest Authors
Thanks TB , @ThemeNectar have sent email.
meks said
Here is one idea for people that are serious about support and want to do that.1. Make serious company that will only do support for ThemeForest authors
2. Be serious and responsible about it
3. Make a lot of money
If only people want to listen
I am actually working since a few months on the exact same thing ie hiring a few guys locally and setting up a centralized Office to offer Support Services to Elite Authors. If anyone is interested or would like to offer some advise or tips you can get in touch via my profile.
Have been working for more then a year now as a Support Staff for Couple of Elite Authors providing support for both WP Themes and Jquery / WP Plugins (hint: Revolution Slider) working closely with them.
Having worked as the only Support Staff for one Elite Author and working with a Team of Remote Staff with different time zones for another i have witnesses both scenarios and my conclusion is that a Centralized Team would work best if the number of queries are really high and would be much more reliable in scenarios where your Full time Support Staff falls seriously ill or gets into a situation where he can not answer the tickets at all and you end up with piles of tickets and unanswered forum threads.
I myself tend to go into Full-time Development and would likely hire a Local Team for Support and have them work under my supervision in the same office .
Would be interesting to hear other peoples opinions and experiences.
Hi UXbarn,
Have been working as a support staff for a couple of Elite Author for more then a year now . Giving support for both WordPress and Jquery Plugins as well as WP Themes. To anwser your questions from my personal experience
1: It Usually depends on the amount of work that is required. Most authors usually pay hourly since some days the requests are high some days they are less .
2: Never signed one.
3: You should hire them for like a week on trial basis and pay them for there trial period. If they are good you will know instantly.
4: Usually the Support Staff makes sure that it is indeed a bug and not human error and then forwards it to the developer so that he can release updates or maintain a bug list and work on it.
All the Best,
Hi Jeroen,
I am also available for freelance work. Please visit my profile page http://themeforest.net/user/Marvidude for more details .

Sharp-eyed readers who received an email update this week from Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld got a surprise: At the bottom, it stated the missive came from the "Office of Congressman P.G. Sittenfeld."
That prompted some observers to wonder if the error was a Freudian slip and whether Sittenfeld, who was just sworn into his first council term three weeks ago, had already set his sights on higher office.
As widely predicted during the past week, Greg Harris was formally selected today to take the seat on Cincinnati City Council that was vacated when John Cranley resigned.
As part of CityBeat's continuing election coverage, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. has proposed a garbage collection fee which, so far, City Council has resisted. What is your stance on this fee?"
It's the 1980s and '90s all over again in Cincinnati.
In a blatant attempt to do an end-run around the mayor, four members of Cincinnati City Council met with The Enquirer's editorial board today to unveil a budget-cutting plan that includes merging the city's Police Department with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
The council faction hadn't discussed the far-reaching concept previously with Mayor Mark Mallory or City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. but had held discussions with Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. about the idea.
By now anyone who's interested in Cincinnati politics probably has heard about the insensitive and over-the-top comment posted Sept. 11 on Twitter by a leader of an anti-streetcar group.
Mark Miller, treasurer for the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), posted the following:
3% of FDNY died 10 yrs ago by terrorism. Today Cincinnati lost 17.5% of fire companies by brownout to pay for a streetcar. Which is worse?
One of the most common complaints among many residents over the decades is that Big Business controls City Hall and municipal government, not citizens. Although some officials have denied it, that seems to be the case when it comes to who will be the next city councilperson.
Catherine Smith Mills, a new Republican candidate for Cincinnati City Council, is raising eyebrows with her campaigning.
Mills held a fundraiser April 8 that featured former Police Chief Thomas Streicher Jr. as the keynote speaker. In a press release touting the event, Mills is quoted as saying, "As a first time candidate, I am so lucky to have the support and mentorship of Republican leaders in Cincinnati like Tom Streicher."
At least three of Cincinnati City Council's four new members will appear at a meet-and-greet event next week in Price Hill to answer questions.
Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson and P.G. Sittenfeld are scheduled to attend the Jan. 5 forum, which will be held at Elder Hill School's Schaeper Center. It's uncertain at this time whether the fourth and final new council member, Christopher Smitherman, will attend.

0Apr 30, '13 by StacyTidwellQuote from kdbar1You'll get a letter if you're not offered a position.I interviewed for ED and haven't heard back...not sure if I should take that as bad news or not. When did you hear? I also have not heard back about the CC internship at all.
0Jan 27, '14 by melissam529Hello,
So I applied to the NICU residency program for March 2014 start date. It was due Jan 13 and I received a call today for a phone interview...any advice as I am not too sure about how I do with phone interviews. I am also not sure if I have a phone interview because I live in NJ or is it because this is before the real interview. Any advice is welcome. -
0Apr 29, '14 by NurseJocI know this is sort of late (like last year) But i just set up an interview with the ED for christiana! I was wondering, they did not give me much information about how the interview will go. would you mind offering up some tips or suggestions! I have a phone interview and then the following week an on-site interview! I am so nervous because this would seriously be such an amazing opportunity for me I don't want to blow it!
any help is greatly appreciated!!

Am picking between iPhone 5 (iOS 6), Nokia Lumia (Windows 8) and Galaxy Nexus/Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1 Jelly Bean).
I really like Android since my current phone is an Android and Jelly bean 4.1 has one of the best voice searches in the market (yes, better than SIRI). Windows 8 has the best offline navigation/GPS with Nokia maps which covers a lot of countries. iPhone 5 is yet to be seen but they might also have a bunch of improvements and it could be a great phone.
Right now, I think Android is beating Apple in terms of making quick improvements to their OS (such as Voice search on Jelly Bean, offline mode for google maps and addition of google chrome browser, google wallet, S-Beam etc. ) Which one do you guys think would be the next best phone on the market once iPhone 5 is released?

Lzzy Hale Of Halestorm Gets Her Dubba G Freak On [PHOTOS]
It was a dream come true.
It was a dream come true.
Third-Eye Blind will be headlining Saturday night's show at Streetfest 2013!
Hopefully you are all stoked about Bush coming to the sun city for streetfest 2013.
KLAQ, KISS-FM, 600 ESPN El Paso, and the El Paso Convention and Performing Arts Centers are pleased to announce the headlining bands for the 2013 Downtown Street Festival.
Holy awesome, Batman. The Tumbler Tour, featuring the Bat Tumbler and Bat Pod from The Dark Knight Rises rolled into Streetfest 2012 in El Paso Friday night and I was able to get an up close and personal tour with the dude who has the coolest job in America - Jim Johnson, the transportation manager at Wayne Enterprises. Jim says he gets to drive the Tumbler every day. Check out why I couldn't be more jealous!
So, Fernie pointed out the other day that someone had posted a Missed Connection on El Paso's Craigslist about me. I responded to the fellow's post here on KLAQ.com. In his post, the man described every detail of the outfit I wore at Streetfest 2012 on Saturday night. Well, the author of my Missed Connection responded to my response and his response couldn't be any creepier.
The KLAQ Morning show sent Fernie on a mission at Streetfest...Do people actually know why we celebrate the Fourth of July?
I had a great time during Streetfest this past weekend! I saw a bunch of things that I enjoyed like the Tumbler, hot chicks, Q listeners and of course great music.
You know you've made it when you're the subject of one of Craigslist's "Missed Connections." And by made it, I do mean, a stranger has likely dedicated some hand lotion and tissues to thoughts of you. Fernie tipped me off that a Missed Connection was posted about me on the El Paso Craigslist page after Saturday night's Streetfest festivities.
The people, the shenanigans and the shoes that made me fall down completely sober! Well, maybe not completely sober.
The El Paso Downtown Streetfest was a huge weekend for El Paso with thousands of El Pasoans and Las Crucians (is that right? Las Crucicans? Las Crucianites?) congregating in downtown El Paso for two nights of fun stuff to see, great food, and amazing concerts from Theory of a Deadman, Candlebox, Filter, Kansas, Saliva and Blue Oyster Cult!
After the fireworks on Saturday, June 30th, Candlebox hit the stage and made sure everyone was worn out by the time they left the Streetfest! Kevin Martin and the gang rocked through their hits and everyone in the crowd was singing along and rocking with the band until late, celebrating the weekend with thousands of El Paso and Las Cruces friends!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
40 years of Borje
by George Malik on 08/31/13 at 02:48 AM ET
Comments (1)
When I go to my local NHL rink, I've become quite accustomed to seeing fans wear jerseys displaying the names of Swedes, Russians, Czechs and even Michiganders, but the NHL was once explicitly the realm of Canadians and only Canadians (as opposed to only in Don Cherry's head). As such, the Toronto Sun's Lance Hornby's marking the 40th anniversary of a true trailblazer's journey to the NHL:
Leafs scout Gerry McNamara was sent to Sweden during Christmas of '72, ostensibly to bring back slick winger Hammarstrom from a tournament that included the great Barrie Flyers senior team. But he widened the scope when he saw [Borje] Salming trade jabs and hacks with the belligerent Flyers. The lanky defenceman showed off an effective checking game, blocked shots and covered so much ice on breakouts. Just as noteworthy to McNamara was Salming in the thick of the scrums.
"Yeah, things got a little rough that day," Salming reminisced on the phone, grinding laughter into his distinctive nasal tone. "My brother Stig and I knew the way the Canadians played (both were in the national squad's chippy '72 exhibition against Team Canada) and we decided we'd stand up for ourselves. I don't remember the Canadian guy's name I got into it with, but Stig and I weren't going to be the 'Chicken Swedes' everyone talked about."
Salming wound up with a game misconduct (one report said he'd shoved the referee) and was taking his equipment off when McNamara suddenly appeared in the dressing room.
"I don't know how he talked his way inside the door," Salming said. "But he gave me his card and asked right away, 'Do you want to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs?' "

Rap music gets kids to spot stroke and call 911
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A novel stroke education program that uses hip-hop music to teach 9- to 11-year-olds living in a high-risk community to recognize when a person is having a stroke and summon help quickly can work, researchers have found.
"Hip-Hop Stroke" incorporates into rap lyrics the "FAST" mnemonic - that is, that changes in the Face (droopiness), Arm (weakness), and Speech (slurring of words) often occur during a stroke and that as soon as these symptoms are seen, it is Time to call 911.
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the U.S. and the third leading cause of death. Typically, only 3 percent of U.S. stroke patients are treated with emergency clot-busting therapy, which has been shown to significantly reduce disability.
Dr. Olajide Williams told Reuters Health: "The major reasons for the appalling statistics regarding emergency stroke treatment are related to the strict 3-hour time window within which treatment must be given and the failure of patients to get to the hospital within this strict treatment time window, which is directly linked to poor public recognition of cardinal stroke symptoms and the urgency of calling 911."
Williams and colleagues tested Hip-Hop Stroke in 582 students from two central Harlem, New York City elementary schools. They measured the students' stroke knowledge before and after they participated in 1-hour sessions over 3 consecutive days.
Overall, Williams told Reuters Health, the results showed that elementary school children in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades are "highly educable" about the warning symptoms and signs of stroke.
Moreover, they retain their newly acquired stroke knowledge for at least 3 months "and are capable of acting as first responders."
In the medical journal Stroke, the researchers report that, after finishing the Hip-Hop Stroke program, two children reported witnessing the sudden onset of stroke symptoms and appropriately got help. One sixth grader called 911 when a grandparent experienced stroke symptoms and one fourth grader was present when an older woman at a subway station suddenly dropped her groceries and slurred her words. "On his own, he called 911 from a pay phone on the subway platform."

Thursday's Tip Sheet
By Josh Jacobs
The mid-season festivities have come and gone and this writer will be the first to admit that it was a heck of a bash.
Between the frail Yankees' owner George "The Boss" Steinbrenner wheeling around the stadium in an emotional state, pinstripe greats Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson and Rich "Goose" Gossage throwing out the first pitches in tandem and the B-2 stealth bomber electrifying an already rabid capacity crowd, the 2008 All-Star game conjured up goose bumps on even the most apathetic of individuals.
If you missed out on the 15 innings of defensive oriented baseball, then you should know the American League wrapped up its 11th win in the last 12 All-Star meetings. With the final score record at 4-3, the last 10 mid-season classics have now averaged 9.2 total runs scored per game.
But the "big night" is now another baseball story filed in the memory banks to tell the grandkids. Moving right along, here's what Thursday has lined up for the first games played in the second-half of the season.
Detroit (Rogers) at Baltimore (Olson) – 7:05 p.m. EDT
The Tigers enter the second-half of the season looking for answers on how they can sustain a consistent drive in the win column. Detroit entered the midway point with a 1-3 record in its last four and batting a damaging .224 average. More importantly is the Tigers 19-27 record with a .239 BA with a 4.41 ERA on the road.
With Detroit slinger Kenny Rogers (6-6, 4.63 ERA) taking the mound, focus on the club's rotation averaging only 6.5 innings per start in the last 10. Rogers himself is logging in an average of 6.6 innings per start in his last 10, but is surrendering an effective 2.6 runs per game (2.4 of them earned).
The 'under' is 6-4 in Rogers' last 10 starts.
Baltimore is in lone possession of the last place spot in the AL East. One of only four teams scoring less runs then their giving up in the American League (scoring difference of -10), the Orioles have seen some day light at home with a 25-16 record bringing in +954 units.
Left starter Garrett Olson (6-4, 5.65) will take the hill for Baltimore and only one win in his last six starts should give backers an unsettling feeling. At least a streak of five 'over' games in his last five starts give credence to a strong total play.
Most books have installed the Orioles as slight $1.08 home favorites, with an initial total sitting at 10 runs.
N.Y. Mets (Santana) at Cincinnati (Cueto) – 7:10 p.m. EDT
Where teams like Tampa Bay and Colorado entered the break on damaging losing streaks, the New York Mets wanted to continue the season with out interruption after stringing together nine straight victories.
The Metropolitans plan on designating Johan Santana (8-7, 2.84) as starter for Thursday's return to the ballpark. The eight-year, southpaw ace has skunked opponents for 1.8 runs allowed in his last 10, while averaging 5.7 strikeouts per game. In 16 total starts this season, Santana has seen the 'over' go 8-5-3.
There's no one area that New York has exclusively excelled in, instead opting to produce a .304 BA on offense, complimented by a bat silencing 2.04 ERA. While the bullpen has been solid with a 2.81 ERA, the starting rotation has worked for a 1.63 ERA. Minus pitcher John Maine (8-6, 3.99), the top four starters have manufactured an eye popping 0.38 ERA in the last seven days of play.
For Cincinnati not much has changed since the beginning of the season. The Reds have been consistently inconsistent by batting a 14th ranked .248 BA with an OPS of .729 (ranked 12th in the league). July has been an improved month (not by much) with the Reds thickening the lumber for a .260 BA, while averaging close to five runs per game.
Cincinnati is 7-3 in its last 10 but the starting pitching has only logged an average of 5.8 innings per start.
Sportsbetting.com has installed the Mets as a chalky $1.50 visiting favorite, with a total set at a low eight runs. The Mets' are 5-1 on the 'under' in July.
San Diego (Peavy) at St. Louis (Lohse) – 8:15 p.m. EDT
Padres' ace Jake Peavy (7-5, 2.47) has thrown back-to-back games of seven inning ball, giving up no runs and striking out a combined 13. With Peavy's 1.9 runs per game allowed and getting 4.2 runs per game of support per start by the offense would indicate that the six-year right-hander, but this is not the case. Peavy is only 4-5 in his last 10 starts.
Then there's St. Louis knockout artist Kyle Lohse (11-2, 3.39). His last loss came on May 8 and protecting leads by allowing 1.7 runs per game in the last 10 speaks volumes. At home this season, Lohse is 5-1 with a 2.75 ERA, has given up a .219 BAA and has fell victim to only five long balls.
The Cards are 2-7 in their last nine home games and are on a total role with a 42-16-1 record on the 'under' in the last 59 Thursday games.
Most books have installed St. Louis as a -115 betting favorite, with a total sitting at a rock bottom 7½-runs.

Winners and Losers
By Chris David
Pro baseball is easily the most grueling schedule in the four major professional sports, with 30 teams going head-to-head over a 162-game schedule. The action takes place over a six-month period from April through September and the majority of teams know their destiny by the All-Star break.
At the beginning of the season, oddsmakers posted regular season win totals on each ball club. The wager itself is simple, bet either 'over' or 'under' the number posted by the bookmakers.
Every season you have overachieving teams and your classic case of underachievers as well. Let's take a closer look at the early winners and losers of the first half of the regular season.
Sunshine Surprises
Easily the biggest surprise of this year is Tampa Bay, who is on pace to win over 90-plus ball games. Oddsmakers expected the Rays to improve this season, but it's hard to imagine anybody predicting them to win 'over' their win total of 76, especially with an all-time winning percentage of .410.
Things have changed at Tropicana Field this season, with the Rays sitting in first place of the American League East at the midseason point. Entering the final weekend before the All-Star break, Tampa has notched 55 victories, which are just 15 less than its franchise-record of 70 wins (2004).
Going 'over' 76 wins seems very likely for the Rays, but it appears this group has higher aspirations.
The Rays have always taken the back seat to its southern neighbor in the Marlins and deservingly so, with Florida owning two world championships in its young history. The Fish haven't won as many games (48) as the Rays, but the books didn't expect much from the South Florida club, listing their win total oat 68 ½ games. Currently, the Marlins are on pace to win 84 games.
Windy City Winners
The Cubs and White Sox are both sitting atop their respective divisions. The Cubbies were expected to be solid, projected at a regular season win total of 87 1/2. Right now, Lou Piniella's team is on pace to hit 96 wins. The White Sox were predicted to win 10 less games (77 ½) by the oddsmakers and Ozzie Guillen's team appears to be on target for 94 wins.
Heroes to Zeroes
Last year, Colorado and Cleveland both made the playoffs but postseason talk isn't swirling in those clubhouses this summer. The Rockies and Indians both had high expectations but neither team has been able to duplicate the efforts put forth last season.
Colorado is on pace to win 67 games, far below their opening number of 83 ½. Even worse, Cleveland was forecast for 90 wins after barely missing the World Series last year. Currently, the Tribe are expected to come up 23 games (67) short at this point.
Re: MLB News and Notes July 17
Thursday's streaking and slumping starters
Kyle Lohse, St. Louis (11-2, 3.39)
Who expected this kind of start from Kyle Lohse? Before this year he had just two winning seasons in seven years and posted a sub-4.50 ERA only once.
Now he has helped the Cards to nine wins in his last 10 starts and has allowed just two earned runs over his last 21 innings.
"This was the one where I was the happiest about because of the way I went out and performed," Lohse told reporters after his last start. "I didn't feel like warming up I had the best stuff, but when you bear down and make pitches the way I was able to, it feels really good that you can go out there with that kind of stuff and do it."
Jake Peavy, Padres (7-5, 2.47)
Lohse will be in tough against a red-hot Jake Peavy. The Padres' ace is coming off two straight seven-inning shutouts and has piled up at least six strikeouts in all but two of his last 10 starts.
However, San Diego doesn't give its starters much run support to work with. Peavy has given up four runs only once in his last 10, but has just four wins to show for it.
Garrett Olson, Baltimore (6-4, 5.65)
At least Baltimore's rookie starter is getting a taste of the big leagues. Olson is having a tough time working deep into games and his last few outings haven't been pretty. He is coming off a 9-8 loss to the Blue Jays, a start in which he gave up seven runs in less than four innings.
The lefty has allowed at least four runs in five of his last six trips to the hill, with his last five starts playing over the total.
Re: MLB News and Notes July 17
Thursday's best MLB bets
Detroit at Baltimore (-105, 10)
The Tigers have owned the O's this season, winning five of their six meetings, but it's no coincidence that Baltimore's only win came in the first game of the first series back in April. In one of the oddest trends in baseball betting right now, the Orioles – a team three games below .500 overall – is a stunning 21-10 in Game 1s.
But trends like that should be taken with a grain of salt, especially considering these head-to-head results. It's hard to trust Garrett Olsen after he's posted an 8.36 ERA over his last three starts and Kenny Rogers has been inconsistent enough to make him a dangerous road favorite. So the "over" might be the best bet in this spot. These clubs are a combined 12-7-1 O/U through their last 10 games and the way Baltimore has been hitting at home this season, it could be a bad day for pitchers.
Pick: Over
San Diego at St. Louis (-115, 7½)
Forget about Jake Peavy. He might have one of the best ERAs in the National League, but it's not like his starts are guaranteed wins. In fact, the Padres are a disappointing 7-8 when Peavy gets the ball, largely due to pathetic batting (.246 team average and fewest runs produced).
That makes me think that a team like St. Louis at home is a steal at this price, regardless of who they're facing. The Cards have struggled in the past against Peavy, but this is a revitalized Redbirds lineup that is hitting .279 against right-handers this year. Peavy hasn't yet gotten a look at St. Louis' young sluggers like Jay Bruce and Joey Votto and he might be in for a unwelcome surprise.
Pick: Cardinals
Re: MLB News and Notes July 17
Thursday MLB Research
By IndianCowboy
Detroit vs. Baltimore
Rogers gave up 9 hits in his last start which lasted 7 innings as the Tigers eventually went on to lose to the Twins 6-7 as they have done so often this year. Rogers is 3-4 on the road with a 4.75 ERA and after some incredible starts at home, he has tapered off a bit in his last few starts, Olson has had 5 of 7 non-quality starts of late and his last 2 have been brutal as he has given up 15 hits and 12 runs in less than 13 innings as his last 5 contests have gone over. Not surprisingly, the total for this game is not set as Vegas seems be having their head up in their *** the last few days in releasing lines very late, but having said that, I think Rogers likely has a very strong start here and hopefully the juice is not too high, but I think Olson likely continues to struggle.
Mets vs. Reds
Santana is actually 8-7 this year but he does have a Sanatana like ERA at a 2.84 for the season. On the road, Santana is 4-4 with a 3.01 ERA, he faced the Reds earlier this year at home and despite giving up 10 hits in 6 innings, he only gave up 3 runs as the Mets went on to win a rout 12-3 as Belisle got rocked in that game back on May 10th. Santana has given up just 2 runs in his last 13 innings and has pitched 5 of 7 quality starts of late, however, he typically struggles to pitch 3 straight quality starts together, plus, the Reds have revenge and they had success against him last time, they couldn't turn hits into runs, Cueto is a good looking kid, he had a rough start against the Mets in his last go giving up 8 hits in less than 5 innings and 6 runs for a 11.59 ERA and picked up the loss against Perez. He comes off 5 straight unders and a non-quality start against the Cubs, so he likely bounces back today. I actually think the Reds have a good shot at beating Santana today, this game is likely to go over as well on the short lay of 7.5, but more importantly, I'm interested in seeing the dog price for the Reds here.
San Diego vs. St. Louis
Normally when a pitcher pitches against a team one day, and then goes immediately his next start against that team, he struggles. Normally when a pitcher goes against the Dbacks, they struggle given that the Dbacks are a great contact hitting team, but Peavy broke both rules as he gave up 0 runs in back to back starts against them in 14 innings, as the Padres won 4-2 and 4-0. In fact, he gave up 3 hits in 1 game and 2 hits in the other, Peavy is just 3-2 with a 4.41 ERA on the road as compared to his 7-5 with a 2.47 ERA overall this season showing that he struggles a bit more on the road, Lohse is 11-2 this year with a 3.39 ERA overall and 5-1 with a 2.75 ERA at home, Peavy has not faced the Cards this year, as Lohse has not faced the Padres, Lohse has pitched 5 of 6 quality starts of late as well, not sure what the lines will be here, but if the Reds are around a pick-em or have dog value, given that they have the better offense, Lohse is at home while Peavy on the road, I think the Cards likely roll here.
Pirates vs. Rockies
Maholm has pitched well in his last 6 of 7 starts which has all been quality, as he has made a big come back the second half of this season, while Jiminez, had a 4.50 era against the Mets in his last start as he nearly outdueled Pedro and lost 0-3 on the road at New York. Neither pitcher has faced the other this year and both ironically had a 1.29 ERA against the other in last years' starts against the opposing teams, Maholm has pitched in 3 straight unders and Jiminez has pitched in 7 straight unders as well, if anything a lean on the under here as the side is a tossup and remember, Jiminez is on a bounce-back and is 3-2 on the year with a 2.67 era at home.
