I went to this new restaurant/bar for luch with 3 co-workers. The menu was small but varied. There was some of the usual american pub fare that you might find in this sort of place but there were also a selections from different hispanic countries available from the menu and the daily specials. Everyone loved their food. The burgers were excellent and the fries were hot and crispy- and lots of them! The cuban sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. The chicken parm, a dinner-sized portion also very good and came with several sides. The bread and rolls were all made in-house and was some of the best I have had in this area. The place just opened today (I think we were their second table) so the server, while friendly and attentive, did not know the menu yet and the kitchen was a bit slow. It was worth the wait as the food was above what you'd normally expect from a bar and grill. Once they get the kinks out this place is going to be a big hit.
Absolutely horrendous. Tonight was the firework show at Mt. Trashmore so I understand it was a busier night. They had their event menu so all easy to make foods. Service was awful. I asked our server at least 3 times for food. Waited over an hour for tuna bites. Server seemed clueless as ever. Everytime I asked where our drinks or food was he would ask "do you want me to check". Was told the...
Gracious hosts, very good food for a restaurant of this level. The service is a bit unrefined but it's essentially a bistro level restaurant. All in all very good worth a stop.

Many of the features that any of our health-care plans will have are going to be the same because there are only a couple ways that we can get to universal health coverage. … We can build on the current employment situation. … The other big way of doing it … is to move towards a system that would have Medicare for everybody. … A kind of single-payer system.
I think we have to have a uniquely American solution to health care because we're a different kind of country than anybody else.
I think we will move toward requiring employers to participate the way Massachusetts does or the way California is considering. … And if you don't insure your employees you're going to have to pay some kind of per-employee amount so that everybody can be given insurance.
During this campaign I want the ideas that people have. I want to hear from you that have different perspectives about what can work.
We don't have informational technology in health care the way we need to. … I'm fighting to get electronic medical records for every American. The reason is it'll save money, time, avoid duplication.
We're going to have universal health care when I'm president. There's no doubt about that. We're going to get it done.
Kathy Byars: Why do members of Congress get the Mercedes of insurance plans and pension plans while many of their constituents are just trying to pay for the basic necessities?
Clinton: I believe that one of the ways we can get health care for everyone is to open up the federal plan that's available to members of Congress … to everybody. That would be one way that we could say to you that you have the same right as anybody in Congress
I think it is past time for the Congress to do for everybody else what we do for ourselves.
I believe we can no longer continue with Cadillac policies for people in Congress unless we give other people in America the same policies.
B.J. and Donny Jackson: How are you going to make sure that soldiers get the care they need and deserve from the VA [Department of Veterans Affairs]?
Clinton: I think we should have guaranteed mandatory funding for the VA. I don't think that the VA should be fighting every year to get enough money to take care of the people that took care of us. … I also think we have to do more to ensure the outpatient care our veterans get is as good as the acute care that they get.
What happens is that once the operation is over and the young man or young woman needs to be taken care of going forward … we drop the ball.
We've got to improve the quality and provide more funding, and let's not forget that a lot of our veterans are coming back with traumatic brain injury. … We're going to have to take care of them for a long time.
Tiffany Sumuel, via e-mail: One of the most common arguments against nationalized health care is that the quality of care and research will be negatively impacted. If health care is nationalized, what will be done to ensure and/or improve the quality of care?
Clinton: Well, I want to make clear that there is a difference between having a health-care system that provides quality affordable health care to every American and having a national health system where there's only one source of care.
There's a lot of misinformation and, frankly, a lot of scare tactics about what universal health care would mean. … That's why I started by saying that we have to reduce costs and improve quality no matter what we do.

The NYPD last Wednesday arrested a second person in connection with the May 2013 shooting death of a 14-year-old South Jamaica girl on a city bus.
Shamel Capers, 16, of Brooklyn, has been charged with second-degree murder, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and first-degree reckless endangerment in the killing of D'aja Robinson.
The NYPD on Wednesday arrested a second person in connection with the May 2013 shooting death of a 14-year-old South Jamaica girl on a city bus.
Elections and new laws adopted in 2013 promised sweeping changes across the city's horizon in 2014, with a new mayor, a new City Council, and an uncertain future for policies on education, law enforcement and city finances.
It could be said that 2013 was a good year to be a political junkie in New York City with Public Advocate Bill de Blasio being elected mayor, and Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner enjoying short-lived political comeback tours.
It also proved to be a bad year to be a school advocate, a Republican seeking elective office or former state Sen. Shirley Huntley.
The final meeting of the 113th Precinct Community Council before summer break was the final one as president for Vivian McMillian, who decided not to seek another term at the helm after 23 years as a council member.
Tributes poured in Monday night for "Miss Vivian," as she has become known throughout the community, including those from Queens District Attorney Richard Brown; City Council members Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) and Ruben Wills (D-Jamaica); state Senators James Sanders (D-Jamaica) and Malcolm Smith (D-Hollis); and Assembly members William Scarborough (D-Jamaica) and Barbara Clark (D-Queens Village).
Kevin McClinton of Rosedale was arraigned on June 5 on a charge of second-degree murder for the May 18 shooting death of 14-year-old D'aja Robinson.
McClinton, 21, who appeared before Queens Criminal Court Judge Ernest Hart after being returned from South Carolina on a fugitive warrant, also was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Kevin McClinton, left, was arrested early Tuesday morning in South Carolina, where authorities say he allegedly fled after shooting and killing 14-year-old high school student D'aja Robinson. The 21-year-old Rosedale resident has reportedly waived extradition.
The suspect in the May 18 shooting death of 14-year-old D'aja Robinson is on his way back to New York City after being arrested in South Carolina Tuesday morning on a fugitive warrant.
Thestate.com, a news website in South Carolina, reported on Tuesday afternoon that Kevin McClinton, 21, was arrested at about 6:30 a.m. in Lexington County, SC, near the state capital of Columbia, by a team that included U.S. Marshals and officers from the NYPD.
A suspect on the May 18 shooting of 14-year-old D'aja Robinson is in custody in South Carolina.
An NYPD spokesman said a suspect, believed to be 21-year-old Kevin McClinton, is being held while New York officials await extradition proceedings.
Kevin McClinton is wanted by the NYPD for murder in the May 18 shooting death of 14-year-old D'aja Robinson. Police said he should be considered armed and dangerous.
The NYPD is seeking the public's assistance in locating the man wanted for murder in the May 18 shooting of 14-year-old D'aja Robinson on a city bus.
Kevin McClinton, 21, is described as a black male, 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.

Anonymous Patron writes "One library in Australia is taking a "novel" approach to love." A 150-year old Australian public library has a new true-romance section after introducing speed-dating nights for lovers of classic texts.
If sentences such as: It calls literate beings to recognize socio-political contexts of teaching and learning, image multiple possibilities for literate activity, and act as agents of change. are considered literate I don't want no darn literacy.
What a bunch on meaningless nonsense.
Oh, pooh! What's wrong with the idea that literacy empowers people? I don't find that meaningless.
Of course literacy and numeracy are important.
However the sentence I reproduced above is complete nonsense. Literacy is not the random stringing together of words, in fact if a patient said that to me I would think they were having a stroke, verbal salad is not literacy.
"...if a patient said that to me I would think they were having a stroke, verbal salad is not literacy."
"image multiple possibilities for literate activities" is sheer poetry; pointless verbing is always a nice touch.
And "literate beings" is wonderful--apparently "people" isn't broad enough. I've always suspected our younger cat could understand spoken English, but didn't really assume that when he jumped up on the newspaper he was reading it...
I'm with you on this one.

Rush is truly a weird band- they have always managed to deliver great material right alongside incredibly dull stuff, album after album, with few exceptions. It's almost like they have no perspective on the quality of their work; they just keep throwing it out there: some of it sticks, some of it doesn't, they move on. Signals is a case in point. While Rush deserves some big kudos for not simply following the formula of their previous, and uber-successful album, Moving Pictures, their ninth album is a mixed bag, sort of great in moments, pretty dull in others. It's not just that they brought in the synthesizers, instantly baptizing Signals as a product of the early 1980's- it's that the songwriting itself is several notches away from what they had achieved with their last couple of albums.
With only 8 songs, none reaching the 7-minute-mark (a minimalist milestone for the guys that brought you 2112) you'd expect some tight, exciting little nuggets, but there are none to be found on the album. At best, songs like Subdivisions, The Analog Kid and New World Man can be said to be catchy, but even those tracks lack the creative fire that Freewill (for example) did. And then there's the real sleep-inducing ones that just drag, such as the perfectly-titled Losing It, which I guess is supposed to be poignant since it's about a guy getting older and older, but just ends up getting boring and more boring. Same with the ironically-titled Chemistry, which just feels pieced together without any guiding musical force.
There's also some pretty clunkly transitions within songs- especially evident in tracks like Digital Man, which just sounds like three distinct pieces of music stitched together by a couple of Neil Peart snare hits and cymbal crashes. The fact that this song also sounds like a bad Police rip-off (both in Geddy's Sting-like reggae bass and in Alex Lifeson's sparse Andy-Summers guitar splashes) doesn't speak well for the song, either. On the other hand... it's not altogether unpleasant. Damn those boys, they can't either fully suck or fully rock!
The same dichotomy could be said for most of this album, and, hell, most of Rush's career- a combination of interesting and boring, brilliant and clunky, resting comfortably side by side and resulting in something usually listenable but only occasionally awesome. In many ways, Signals sets the template for the kind of material Rush has been doing ever since; while they are always tweaking and refining their approach, this style of shorter song durations and unconventional-but-still-basically-pop songs, mostly mid-tempo, has remained the basic compositional formula they work off of. I'm not really sure why New World Man, out of the hundreds of Rush tunes out there, remains their only actual hit song- it's really not that great, and they've done much greater. But if Signals is really the first album where Rush finally found their true nature, then perhaps it's quite fitting.
Sprawling, dense, and timeless, Signals remains an absolute Rush classic. It is, for me, one of the most interesting and unusual albums that they ever recorded. Controversial upon release with its radical change in sound and direction, it is strong on synthesizer focus, yet nonetheless it features some of Alex Lifeson's very best guitar work. The Analog Kid, Chemistry, and Digital Man shine with emotion and technical brilliance, especially during the solo sections. They also have me scratching my head every time I hear "the guitar really took a back seat on Signals...". Subdivisions, The Weapon, and Losing It show Lifeson as an extraordinarily innovative, original, and experimental guitarist.
The lyrics in places are almost abstract and I often wish Rush (or rather drummer Neil Peart) had pursued this avenue of writing further as it enables the listener to interpret the imagery of the words on a more personal, intellectual level. Chemistry (one of those rare and fascinating occasions where all three band members share lyrical input) and Digital Man are possibly the best examples of this 'abstract' writing style.
As one would expect, the music is truly progressive. Rush blended elements of reggae and electronics into heavily technical rock whilst still retaining their own identity. This simply illustrated just how singularly unique and individual a band they were at that time and arguably still are. The Weapon still remains as one of the most powerful, dark, and complex compositions they ever recorded. Losing It displayed a softly melancholic side to Rush, a song which builds and builds with dazzling musical complexities that are almost jazz-like in terms of the fusion of instrumentation and time changes.
Subdivisions with its almost scientific, musical precision remains infused with a million memories of the isolation and loneliness of feeling like such an outsider during high school years, of 'lighted streets on quiet nights', and being aware that you were in fact not alone because there were bands like Rush with people who felt just the same as you and somehow, magically, knew how to paint those almost unbearable feelings into a moving canvas of music and words.
'Signals' is one of my most listened to Rush albums. It's not necessarily the best, but it's an album that is more versatile, concerning how it fits moods. If you're worn out, exhausted, and mentally strained, the last thing you want to hear is someone incredibly progressive and involving. However, I would never want to hear a piece of music that lacks some sort of creative innovation. 'Signals' shows Rush moving into new territory, yet refraining from turning the music into a pretentious prog-fest. The guitars are turned down for this release to make way for synthesizers and keyboards, showing that Alex Lifeson (unlike a lot of guitar heroes) can be a team player as well.
The perfect song to illustrate what this album is about is the first song (and most famous off this album), 'Subdivisions'. It's also probably my favourite song on the album. The keyboards are lush and gorgeous here, and Geddy's voice is in his top element here. Based on whether or not you like 'Subdivisions' can basically decide whether or not you will like 'Signals.'
The guitar tone is very different from Rush's earlier material and especially on this record, you can really see an evolution of their sound. It's much more listenable in my opinion and Alex Lifeson shows that he's one of the most well-rounded guitarists in rock history.
This is an album that's about moderation. Don't expect a heavy album here, and if you're a tru-prog purist who cannot stand the concept of a melodic hook, then you might want to steer clear of 'Signals.' Otherwise, it's a very well done album and very enjoyable. Check it out.
Rush returns with Signals, and launches another series of releases that will culminate after three additional albums in their third live recording Show of Hands. The first era of releases were marked by the bands drive to perform, while the second era was dominated by writing, both lyrically and musically. This new era will be dominated by the band becoming composers, with larger productions dominating their albums. On a musical level and notable for many fans was the complete change in sound – The presence of keyboards signals that the band has embraced the 80's new wave. Further, subtle changes have taken place; epic or exotic arrangements are replaced by shorter pieces infused with larger productions.
The sound slams home, requiring mental rearrangement of what Rush is, for while the core of the band is still here, it is subtle in comparison to the changes. This is an album that, for the average metal loving listener, is designed to fail on several accounts: First, the keyboards take center stage, becoming an equal member of the band. Second, the lead guitar is mixed behind the keyboard. Lifeson's guitar is there, but more subtle and background. The guitar solos are not as dominant to the other instruments, and even these have been replaced by keyboard solos at times. The end effect is a recipe for disaster, but despite these enigmas the compositions and performances pull through to create something that just plain works. In spite of the new wave influences, Rush wrestles the sound into something of their own that actually rocks well, surviving the test of replays due to its depth and underlying complexity (Something new wave suffered from).
Notable moments: "Subdivisions" is a driving masterpiece, and a good example of how keyboards should be used when envisioned as a full member of the band. "The Analog Kid" features Lifeson the best and with Lee flows nicely, at times sounding as if the duo were just flat out jamming. "The Weapon" continues were "Witch Hunt" left off (or will follow it) as part two of the Fear Trilogy, and is excellent with its explorations of how people, and societies, use fear against each other. "Losing It" is a great ballad, reflecting on the waning years of one's life with a perspective on Hemmingway. Lifeson has some great guitar work with his solo. If you are going to write a ballad, this is the way to do it. Period. Finally, "Countdown" is designed full gear for commercial and video play, but I can't help but like it. It's an infectious song that musically and lyrically builds in symbolism and homage to the launch of a space shuttle. A bit cheesy? Yes, but also tasteful and well done. Sometimes it's good to remember that music should be fun. Oh… And it also has a great keyboard solo for those that can appreciate it.
Light, the sound rolls and lifts in a well blended whole; there is a depth to this album that once played and released is actually quite good. The band is still rocking, moving with a fluid grace, it soars with the kind of spirit only these veterans can produce or get away with on such a style change. Lee's bass is still great and his solos work well, if anything his playing is more dominant herein. Peart's percussion is complex, at times subtle, but still the dominating rhythm machine. While Lifeson's leads are drowned out his solos are still great, his imprint is still working its magic as a multi-textured part of the whole. The arrangements are excellent, the group writing pieces of music that flow with grace, the production here melding the compositions into an artistic whole, sounds and textures ebbing and rising with a craftsman detail. Once you get by the keyboards and larger production, you see eight tracks that still move with their own integrity, all stories from the group's vision; composed and performed into a creative whole that shines with a gleam, making you believe for once that digital engineering can realize a musician's dream.
With Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures, Rush entered the 80's strong, incorporating more synthesizer layers without missing a beat or compromising their style. With Signals, Rush took their new soundscapes even further. Getty Lee's synth work was no longer just another instrument, but one of the primary elements of their songwriting. Not allowing themselves to be confined by preconceived notions of their sound, the band were able to create another classic, one of expression and melody on par with their earlier works, but of an entirely different dynamic.
This album is considerably mellow, even more so than their previous two efforts, but Rush's energy is not spent. The rhythm section that made the band famous is still intact, only now topped with the constant synth presence. Fans of the band's back catalogue will also notice that there isn't any more epic songs on here; rather, the band has chosen to focus on shorter, more straightforward compositions. But don't miscontrue shorter for simpler: these songs are just as intricate as ever, though perhaps a bit more familiar to the average listener structurally. There's also a notable sense of minimalism in the synth work. Though there's rarely a moment without some sort of pad effects, they are never applied more than necessary. The drums and bass still shine through as much as ever and Getty Lee's vocals, while toned down, compliment the music better than ever.
The only real question raised is this: what the hell is Alex Lifeson doing? Because honestly, through much of the recording, I'm not exactly sure. For whatever reason, possibly to favor the increased synth usage, his guitar is mixed somewhat low. Accompanied with the lighter tone he uses on the album, it makes him diffiicult to hear for most of the album. His solos still come through, but even these are toned back a bit, a shame considering how good he is.
But the diminished presence of Lifeson is the only hindrance to this album. This is one of the few Rush albums where every song is of a consistently high quality. Thoughtful lyrics touching more on natural science than science fiction grace every song here, as well as some experimental elements, namely that of reggae-like passages. Check out some of those mellow parts in "Chemistry" and "Digital Man" to see what I mean. Cool stuff, and a definite progression from earlier works.
Altogether, Signals is a fine album, certainly worthy of the Rush name. Fans of their older material (Prog-era) might have an initial hangup, but this album will certainly grow to be a favorite.
Highlights: "Subdivisions," "Chemistry," "Digital Man,"
By the time Rush came out with Signals, their sound was drastically changed. Yes it is safe to say, what metal Rush had was depleted. Thus creating a sound that was unique of Rush. This album really isn't that heavy, in fact it is easier to hear the bass then it is the guitar. It's not a bad album but it isn't the best Rush album by far.
Could Rush out do their last album, Moving Pictures, and be successful again? Well the answer is no. The best way to describe Signals is very atmospheric like. Every song sounds like you are floating on a cloud, because it is that soft. In fact I don't think there are any distorted guitars, if there is they are very hard to hear.
One of the big things that Rush brings in to this album is synthesizers and keyboards. I know Rush has been exploring with this stuff for a long time now. But this album basically leans off of them, using them in every song at just about every point you could expect to have 'em. Other wise Geddy Lee's vocals are always up to par. Neil Peart's drumming is, and always will be fucking awesome.
Not the best Rush album to get, but overall not bad. The only song that really sticks out as being good is Subdivisions. Some of the other songs grow on you after awhile, like Digital Man, New World Man, and Countdown. That is if the softness of the songs doesn't send you into a sleep first.

Yakuza : Dead Souls (龍が如く OF THE END lit. "Like a Dragon of the End"?)[2] is an action-adventure/survival horror video game, developed and published by Sega exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The game is the sixth installment in the Yakuza series.[3] The game's concept and keyword is "destruction"; a promotional image for the game showed the series' main locale, Kamurocho, in ruins. Leaked scans of the Famitsu issue released on September 16, the first day of the 2010 Tokyo Game Show, revealed that the game would be set during a zombie outbreak in Kamurocho and reportedly after the events of Yakuza 4. The game was originally scheduled for release in Japan on March 17, 2011 two days after the release of Yakuza 4 in North America; however, after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the release was indefinitely delayed. A new release date, setting the game's release for June 9, was announced on April 7.[1] The game was also released in North America and Europe by Sega in March 2012.[4]
The game is set during a zombie outbreak in Kamurocho, a big departure from the storyline of the series to this point.[5] The game is set during April 2011, when the residents of Kamurocho have become zombies. Witnessing the start of the outbreak through the eyes of Shun Akiyama, a local loan shark. Kamurocho is slowly quarantined as the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force is called in to contain the outbreak. Now only one soldier remains alive, Misuzu Asagi. After receiving a phone call from a mysterious man who has kidnapped Haruka, Kiryu returns from Okinawa. Now, four men are the only hope - the mysterious money-lender Shun Akiyama, feared yakuza and construction company owner "Mad Dog" Goro Majima, the Dragon of Kansai who has finally awoken from a long sleep, Ryuji Goda, and the legendary former yakuza, Kazuma Kiryu. These four men are the only people who can defend the town, and must fight to save it.[6]
The game features multiple playable main characters. Kazuma Kiryu, the series' main protagonist since the first game, returns, as well as Goro Majima, also a series regular since the first installment. Ryuji Goda of Yakuza 2 and Shun Akiyama, one of the four main characters in Yakuza 4, are also playable characters.[3]
It is important to notice that the whole game has Japanese dialogues only, and that it is subtitled in English.
- Hidenari Ugaki as Goro Majima (真島吾朗)
- Takaya Kuroda as Kazuma Kiryu (桐生一馬)
- Kōichi Yamadera as Shun Akiyama (秋山駿)
- Masami Iwasaki as Ryuji Goda (郷田龍司)
- Satoshi Tokushige as Daigo Dojima (堂島大吾)[7][8]
- Rie Kugimiya as Haruka Sawamura, who is kidnapped by a mysterious man
- Koji Matoba as Tetsuo Nikaidō (二階堂哲雄), an Omi Alliance member,[7][8] third chairman of the Go-Ryu family, Ryuji's right-hand man
- Tetta Sugimoto as Tomoaki Nagahama (長濱友昭), a member of the Majima Family of the Tojo Clan[7][8]
- Chiaki Kuriyama as Misuzu Asagi (浅木美涼), the heroine, member of a defence unit[7][8]
- Renji Ishibashi as Oyassan (おやっさん), a takoyaki shop owner[7][8] from Kansai who is connected to Ryuji
- Peter as "DD", a mysterious Japanese-American man who appears in Kamuro-cho around the time that the events begin. He is key to the story, though it is unknown whose side he is on[7][8]
- Aya Hirano as Hana (花), Akiyama's secretary. After the events of Yakuza 4 she slimmed down, but she returned to her old eating habits and has regained her former body type
The game was first announced in June 2010, during an interview with series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi in Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, during which he mentioned that a new Ryū ga Gotoku game was in development and that it would star Goro Majima.[9] Majima, as well as the new project, was officially confirmed on July 1, on the official website.[10] A series of announcements were then made on the main site, beginning in late July and continuing throughout August, with all four main characters being revealed one by one. Kazuma Kiryu was the first to be confirmed after Majima, on July 21.[11] Shun Akiyama was then announced on August 4,[12] and Ryuji Goda was then revealed in the final announcement on August 18.[13] Following each character's confirmation, a large poster of him was erected across the east exist of the Shinjuku branch of Don Quijote, a shop that features in the game itself as a tie-in, and was replaced by the next character when he was announced.
In August 2010, a two-page advertisement appeared in Famitsu, showing Kamurocho in ruins, with the words "The End" over the image.[3] The name of the game was officially announced in a September issue of Famitsu[2] and confirmed on the game's official site on September 9.[14]
Video footage of the game was shown for the first time at the Tokyo Game Show 2010, showing footage of minigames such as darts, fishing, batting and karaoke. It also showed scenes of the town being overrun by zombies and destroyed by a large, black monster and many small creatures. Footage afterwards on the Ryu-Stream channel showed the cabaret girls' actors "shooting" a zombie actor with guns.
Marketing and release[edit]
A recurring theme in the series is tie-ins, in which real-life businesses, restaurant chains or products are promoted prior to the game's release and within the game itself. A range of awamori drinks by Okinawa's Seifuku Distillery were licensed.[15] A range of goods, including bracelets and T-shirts, was sold at Don Quijote, a store chain which has been featured in every game except Kenzan! so far.[16] Also sold at Don Quijote was a themed energy drink called "Energy Dragon".[17]
Another returning tie-in was a promotion with 777town, in which a Kazuma Kiryu avatar was available for use with the 777town website, and Volcano, a pachinko centre sponsored by the website, was included within the game.[18] A collaboration with a hat brand, Override, was shown in-game; the hat was also available for purchase from Override's website.[19] A men's fragrance, "Black Dragon", was designed by producer Toshihiro Nagoshi, and appears both in-game and at retailers such as Don Quijote.[20]
Another promotion with Kai Razor included a Ryū ga Gotoku strap and razor case, and protagonist Kazuma Kiryu is shown shaving with one of their razors in an in-game cutscene.[21] Another Kai Razor campaign featured bracelets designed by Nagoshi, Takaya Kuroda, Hidenari Ugaki, and the hostess' performers, as well as a nail clipper.[22]
Karaoke Kan, a karaoke venue featured in the game since Yakuza 3, was included in another promotion. The first 200 customers to visit the special series rooms were awarded one of the three tie-in prizes (80 of each of the T-shirt and Kai Razor prizes were available, while 40 bottles of Black Dragon were given away), and an alternative "Karaoke Kan Version" of the game's commercial was played there, featuring Jun Komori, a model who appears as a masseuse in the game.[23]
The game's characters, and a Kamuro-cho gate outfit, will be available in the PSP game Taiko no Tatsujin Portable DX, which features "Machinegun Kiss", a karaoke song from the Ryū ga Gotoku series.
Limited edition[edit]
In the aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the game's packaging was changed to a "Ganbarō, Nippon!" version with Kiryu and Haruka on the cover; the first pressing included a set of stickers featuring the two. Also included with early preorders was a soundtrack CD, part of the series' recurring Kamutai preorder bonus series.
Special items[edit]
Like its PS3 predecessors, some special items are available in the game if a save file from another game in the series is detected. Players whose PS3 detects the presence of Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! save data receive the Gion Bell (祇園の鈴 (Gion no Suzu?)), while players with save data from the Japanese version of Yakuza 4 receive the Satsutaba no Omamori (札束のお守).
The game sold 309,058 copies in its first week of release in Japan. And as of May 1, 2012, the game has sold just under 500,000 units worldwide.[24][25]
The game received overall average reviews, with most criticism focused on its combat system, and praise focused on the story. The game is assigned a 63% on Metacritic, classified as mixed or average reviews as the most common reviews of the game.
PlayStation LifeStyle's Heath Hindman called the game "OK for what it is" in his review, praising the story and boss fights, but didn't like the dwarfed exploration and how dull the combat became as the game went on, saying, "Yakuza: Dead Souls isn't going to bring in any new blood to the Yakuza series, but for its existing fans, it provides an interesting story and gameplay elements that haven't been explored previously. Combat against the common zombies gets old fast, but there are some great boss battles to balance it out. As a huge Yakuza fan myself, I somewhat enjoyed the game, but wish there would have been a little better pacing and more chances to explore."[26]

As the first title in Move's second wave, Sorcery is a test of the format's future. Is there more to Sony's motion-control adventure than Wii-envy and a mixed bag launch line-up? The answer is a resounding "SHAZAM!"
Which, you'll notice, is neither a yes or a no. Sorcery is the best dedicated Move game available, and makes more natural use of the controller than any predecessor. But it still doesn't emphatically prove that full-on, high-end gaming can exist without a pad and buttons.
Everything about Sorcery is simple. The story is Ladybird book standard, as a wizard's apprentice uncorks a world of trouble by toying with his master's wand. The voice acting is warm and slightly patronising, like a Saturday morning cartoon. And, because the action relies on the vagaries of waving a glowing stick and ball, combat and movement are streamlined rather than deep and nuanced.
A case in point - Sorcery uses a pre-dual stick third-person camera. Your boy wizard, Finn, is moved with the navigation controller thumbstick, and the only control you have over the camera is L2 to centre it. It's a little clumsy, and makes strafing impossible, but the game is aware of its limitation and never throws you into situations where you need to turn too quickly.
And the reason movement is designed this way is that Sorcery uses the Move motion controller as a dedicated wand. A flick of the controller sends a bolt of arcane magic in that direction, making it easy - with a little auto-aim assistance - to toast orc-like foes called Bogeys, battle banshee and ogre bosses, and smash pots, barrels and boxes.
The system's not without its problems. Aiming at enemies on platforms makes for the game's biggest frustration, thanks to the combination of regenerating health and the Move not always registering aerial shots. And when the fighting gets intense, you'll be waving the controller so furiously it feels like a combat maraca rather than a wand. But it's accurate enough to make you feel like a sorcerer, which in turn sells the rest of the game's potion-glugging fantasy land.
A natural fit with the Move controller's abilities. It comes at the cost of polish though - this level of visuals and combat wouldn't stand in a regular blockbuster.
- The best Move game out there
- Simple but fun gameplay
- Boss battles are great
- Awkward camera
- Control is wonky when shooting at platforms

Hi everyone!
I have taken an interest in Indian cooking lately and an experimenting with a recipe for Hot Lime Pickles. Yum! There is one very strange ingredient: Asafoetida. Is anyone familiar with it? I find a compounded powder of Asafoetida in a local grocery, but it also has wheat and other gum, etc. I have read on the Internet that the main ingredient is extracted from a root and compounded with other things. I love to experiment with exotic ingredients, but the additives (including the undisclosed ones) in formulated powders give me some hesitation. I am wondering if I really need this stuff? I read that Asafoetida is used as a substitute for garlic. I wonder if garlic could be substituted for Asafoetida? Hmm. Just curious to hear what you know about this strange herb... Thank you for your replies! Regards,

Re: Asafoetida (hing) I too love eating Indian food, and after moving from Houston to where there are no Indian restaurants, I've had to learn to cook it. Therefore I've got about 6 to 8 Indian cookbooks. After consulting with them, I have found that basically the information you have found is true. It is suggested to use it in small quantities. In The Spice and Herb Bible by Ian Hemphill he says that it is descended from the giant perennial fennels that grow wild in Afghanistan, Iran and northern India. He states that the asafoetida sap is collected and processed. There are two powdered types, a brown and a yellow which has turmeric added. He insists that it is what gives lentils, peas and beans their great flavor. Also that it is used in the spice blend "sambar powder". To answer your question, why not buy some and try it sparingly to see if you like it. If not, you have only "ruined one meal". The next time I'm in Houston, I think that I'll buy some and try it. |
To me, it tastes a bit like strong smelling cooked onions, but does have a distinct smell and taste. Because its an expensive spice/herb, it is usually dried and cut with corn starch. |

Hi ltcollins1949 & ksrogers, Thank you for your replies:) I've been looking in some shops and so far have not found anything that says it contains cornstarch. All the products I saw listed wheat or edible starch (which could be wheat). The problem with wheat is that I have some acquaintances/friends who are either allergic to wheat or cannot eat gluten. For now, I bought one of the popular brands containing wheat. I will try it in the recipe and see if I think it can be substituted with garlic. If it's dispensable, I will do some more research to try to find a product that does not contain wheat. Thanks again! Regards, |
- Posted by nygardener z6 New York (My Page) on Mon, Aug 13, 07 at 22:08
The wheat and other fillers are there just to keep it from caking and make it pour more easily. You can also buy asafoetida in its uncompounded form, as a resin-like gum. It's very pungent, but adds a nice flavor to Indian dishes in the small quantities called for in recipes. Garlic isn't really a substitute ... but try out some recipes, and see what flavor combinations you like. |
Has anyone tried to grow it? I remember reading about it in Herb Companion magazine many years ago, and I've always wanted to try it. |
- Posted by poseyplanter 5A IL (My Page) on Mon, Aug 20, 07 at 23:01
Hi nygardener, I saw the tears for sale, but the ingredients on the can listed wheat in those too. Maybe sometime I will find it without wheat. The herb definitely has its own particular smell. The almost-done pickles are sitting on my table in a cloth-covered bowl. Occasionally I get a whiff. Definitely distinctive. Hi coing, I recall daisyduckworth recommending it in Cool and different herbs. Do a search to see how big the plant gets. If it's not too huge for your space, take a risk and plant it:) It will certainly be a conversation piece. Regards, |
- Posted by rdevapriya (My Page) on Fri, Aug 24, 07 at 16:02
Does anyone know where can I get uncompounded asafoetida on the internet. My 2 year old is allergic to wheat and so I am not able to find one without wheat. I have used it all my life and am finding it difficult without it. |
Spices Etc has it, and the binder is rice flour and gum arabic |

Asian perennial with a stem from 2-3 metres tall and umbels of greenish flowers on top. Also called Devil's Dung, a reflection of its unpleasant sulphurous odour, and Food of the Gods. Well, 'foetid' does mean smelly! The stuff you use in cooking is a resin obtained by the roots of plants 4 years old. You're best to try and find a plant, rather than to try seeds, because seeds must be very fresh. The plant takes some years before it flowers and dies after flowering. Plants usually flower after about 5 years. The whole plant, especially when bruised, has an unpleasant smell like stale fish. |
Here is a link that might be useful: asafoetida pix
The asafoetida I use contains only asafoetida, rice starch and gum arabic (no wheat). It can be bought online - - At http://www.frontiercoop.com/search.php it can be found under 'Product Quickfind' under 'Find Spices'. I use asafoetida because it keeps my body odour down so I can use natural, home-made deodorant rather than store-bought and thus avoid bringing any more plastic packaging into the world. :P But the ayurveda science of India tells me that avoiding onions and garlic (that whole family of plants) tempers one's appetites for things outside oneself - - food, approval, attention, etc. - - and ayurveda recommends asafoetida instead. I've heard the flavor, once cooked, described as resembling leeks. I find if I use too much, it can make the food a little bitter. |

I first bought a bit of it years ago in the pure form, and placed it in my herb drawer in the bag I bought it in. It filled my whole kitchen with its odd, foetid odor, and I had to place it in a better container. I went back to work, and gave up on new recipe ingredients for awhile, but recently bought some in powdered form in a local Indian grocerette. The young woman working there was a vegetarian, and very enthusiastic about it--she told me how to add it to some of the vegetables I purchased in the store, and said that she added it to almost everything. In my opinion, nothing else can take the place of a meat flavor as well as Hing, or Asafoetida. I think that garlic and onion can be a substitute, but they are not really comparable; the flavor and fragrance are quite unique, and if you live in the West,you have probably not experienced anything like it unless in a dish in an Indian restaurant. I like to use it to add interest to soups--not only the pureed Indian-type ones with vegetables and lentils, but even to add a different flavor to canned soups! It really fills out the flavor of a meatless soup,if you find you like the flavor. In fact, that is probably the safest way to get to know it--in a canned soup--so that you don't add it to a main course you made from scratch without knowing how it will taste. Using it in a soup will also give you practice as to how much to use. |
When I lived in an apartment, the hallway always smelled similar to that spice. The lady across the hall used to do a lot of cooking with onions and garlic, which smell similar when they are sauted. |
You know, KS, I have to agree--onions and garlic cooking together do resemble it a bit. I had some sliced garlic and green onions in a canned soup in my microwave last night and when I opened the micro door it did smell a bit like it! (I added some powdered Asafoetida and red pepper, anyway, though. ;o) ) |
Yes, its also got that mellow aroma of the onions and garlic being sauteed in somthing like butter. A very rich aroma, that would go good with things that you want to give a lot of oniony smell to. |

FataMorgana, those are all good herb plant and seed sources, but none has asafoetida. I was unable to find plants on a search, either. Does anyone know of another source? How mature do the plants have to be to harvest the gum, and how hardy are they? Does anyone know of a source for the uncompounded gum or resin? |
- Posted by fatamorgana Zone 5/6 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 26, 11 at 12:13
I didn't look since I figured the OP could check it out. I found it at Horizon Herbs, I didn't check the others but it may be there as well: Horizon Herbs: Devil's Dung Try searches with its various names at google for sources. I used the botanical name and got the following. Try various other words in combination in the searches like "100%" or "pure" to get different results. FataMorgana |

Falling for Me
By GalTime .com
By Marianne Beach, GalTime.com
We've all had those moments where we wake up wondering when our lives are going to begin. Whether we're Fortune 500 executives or stay-at-home moms, we question the paths we've taken and where to go from here.
Author Anna David was no exception, waking up one morning single, in her thirties, with two cats and no hot prospects on the horizon. But rather then succumbing to what she calls "single woman shame", she decided to try something a bit unconventional. She followed all the advice found in the 1962 self help book, Sex and the Single Girl, penned by legendary Cosmo maven Helen Gurley Brown.
From French lessons to windsurfing, David thought her journey to self improvement would enable her to attract the man of her dreams. But as she writes in her new memoir, Falling for Me, she ended up attracting someone much more important...herself.
We asked Anna to tell us a little bit about her journey.
Related: Why You're Not Where You Thought You'd Be By Now
Obviously at least at some point in her life, every woman will examine her choices and wonder if she made the best ones. What was that point in your life and what did you conclude?
My point came when I was about 10 years sober and I realized, for literally the first time in my life, that I actually wanted to have a traditional relationship: to get married and, if possible, raise a child with that person. It sounds crazy to some but it had never really occurred to me before then that this might be an appealing option. I always looked at marriage as a sort of last resort. I'd spent the first part of my life really anesthetizing myself from my feelings and then, when I got sober, I just became obsessed with my career. I always dated-and even felt deep love twice-but it wasn't until a decade into my sobriety when I suddenly realized, "Oh, God. I am traditional after all. I want the same thing all those women I've always derided want." I fell into a major depression when I actually faced that because it felt like I was too late to the party. But then I decided to try to do something about the fact that I felt like that.
You call it "Single Woman Shame." Define that for us, if you will.

The stock of Kenya's second-biggest company by market value climbed 1.7 percent to 3.05 shillings by the 3 p.m. close in Nairobi, paring its drop this year to 35 percent.
Safaricom added 148,000 customers during the quarter and remained the market leader with a share of 69 percent compared with 68 percent in the previous three months, the Communications Commission of Kenya said in a statement on its website yesterday. The number of mobile-phone users in the nation grew 0.2 percent to 25.3 million from the previous quarter, it said.

It seems to me that there should be a difference in "scoring" an inqury. One year ago I applied for 1. A loan on a house, and 2. raw land. I was approved on both but didn't purchase either one. It seems that since I was APPR on both that my FICO should go UP...which in my case it has but I doubt that the two APPR's were involved. So ... are INQ's "graded" in some way?
Only in the sense that they "cost" you less as they age and multiple inquires of certain types are lumped together as one for scoring purposes when they occur close together.
FICO scores do not assess your "approvals" for credit. FICO scores predict the likelihood that you will become a credit "delinquent". INQ are negative because they indicate that you are seeking credit.- those who are seeking credit have been found to be statistically more likely to become delinquent that those who are not seeking credit. The impact of INQ on your FICO score is low and does not last long. The impact of INQ on an issuers internal approval process is another thing altogether.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.

great convenience for a heathrow flight
ByNorfolk tyke
January 27, 2015
we stayed here on a park/stay/go 4 day package as we had an early flight to Dublin
The staff were very attentive, check in was smooth in spite of lots of air crew using the desk at the same time.
The room was large, with a sofa and desk, the bathroom was clean and well serviced with toiletries.However the bed mattress needed replacement as it had gone very soft. We ate in the hotel restaurant ( bistro) where the food was quite expensive but tasty and large portions so it was good value for money, we were going to eat in the bar area but the lighting was turned down so far that we decided we would not see the food!
The hotel have a bus ( hotel hoppa service) which travels to Heathrow for a low price and drops you off, or collects you, directly at the terminal.
All in all the experience was good again at IHG and really helped our weekend go well
Poor Crowne Plaza
January 27, 2015
This hotel is a little shabby and in need of a referb. common area is a little small and the hotel is quite away from the airport terminals 1-3 and miles away from T4
Poor check in...again!!
January 23, 2015
Good hotel, good people but please sort check in !!!! Slowest procedure of all IHG hotels. Not helped by customer talking about the weather, asking about the history of the hotel whist the queue builds behind. Staff need to be more switched on and efficient - and that was in the supposed fast track of Platinum Club check in. Last week the battery failed in the door so keycard didn't work either. But...bigger picture - good hotel
Friendly Staff and excellent comfort

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent quality
Floral Flourish Gate-fold Invitations The cards are not only beautiful but excellent quality. I went with the pearl paper and is very shiny and fine. The invitations were very well packed and protected. The website was very easy to use and it was easy to place the order and approve it. The only kind of complain is that it takes too long. It took two weeks to get the invitations and now I want some bands to tie them and those that don't have text or anything may take the same two weeks!!!! I am crossing my fingers that it is less. I didn't though about them initially and those are key to keep the card close. The stikers are not strong enought.
Floral Flourish Rectangle Invitations They turned out better than I thought they would. I REALLY fell in love with them when I had all the pieces put together. :)
Impressed with the results
Floral Flourish Rectangle Invitations I'm not very easily impressed by wedding things by point (I'll admit to being jaded and worn out by the whole planning process), but I have to admit, I was very pleasantly surprised. The prices were very competitive, I was able to customize the cards in ways I hadn't even thought of, and the final product was absolutely stunning. The colors are especially vibrant and true to the appearance on the screen. While I was expecting a pretty good invitation, the result was much better than anticipated. The "get one first before you commit" option was also clever, and helped to resolve questions on the quality. I would honestly recommend these cards for any occasion.
Lovin them
Floral Flourish Rectangle Invitations I love that you could customize everything. The website was easy to use, they sent me a couple sets of samples requested along with samples of paper and fonts to choose from. I love the color, look and feel of my invitations. Customer Service was great. I forgot to order envelope fillers so I emailed them and within a couple of hours I received a response telling me that the filler had been added to my order.
Floral Flourish Rectangle Invitations This card was very easy to personalize. Its simple and elegant. On the extra card "for your information" you can use both sides to type on we didn't see it right away and almost left generic info on the back. We also didn't use the back because we weren't sure if our guests would flip it over. I love this card! Its exactly what I wanted!

Kibbie Dome
Attendance: 15,010
Moscow, ID (Sports Network) - Prince McCarty ran for 160 yards and a touchdown, leading the Idaho Vandals to a 20-14 win over the New Mexico State Aggies in a Western Athletic Conference matchup at the Kibbie Dome.
McCarty's production helped to make up for a sub-par day by Idaho (2-7, 1-4 WAC) quarterback Nathan Enderle, who completed only 7-of-18 passes for 59 yards and was intercepted twice.
Chase Holbrook put forth a valiant effort for NMSU (3-4, 1-2), throwing for 324 yards and two touchdowns. He set a school single-game record by completing 78.7 percent of his passes, though he was also intercepted twice. Chris Williams finished with 13 catches for 112 yards and two TDs.
McCarty set the tone for Idaho with a 54-yard touchdown run at the 9:40 mark of the opening quarter.
NMSU tied the score early in the second quarter, when Holbrook found Williams for an 18-yard touchdown pass.
Those two hooked up again with 5:13 remaining in the half, this time for a 13- yard scoring strike to give the Aggies a 14-7 lead.
But the Vandals responded with a nine-play, 90-yard drive, punctuated by Enderle's three-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Hardy.
The defenses controlled the second half, although the Vandals benefited from two huge field goals by kicker Tino Amancio. Amancio kicked a 52-yarder with 2:47 remaining in the third quarter, then he kicked a 51-yarder with 1:29 to play in the fourth.
Idaho piled up 271 rushing yards (5.6 ypc) for the game, a stark contrast from NMSU's 35-yard (1.3 ypc) output.

Worlds Fastest RC P51 4 Blade Mustang

Did this video help you?
Matthew Sherman: gas is gay, go electric all the way boxeater406: What, me worry?? Steinwaygrande: Very interesting. I built a 1/5th scale WW11 Hawker Hurricane in 2002 and finished it in late 2003. The transmitter and receiver are from Futaba ( Field Force 8 ) and the servos are all Futaba 3001`s . My very first R/C model was the old Precedent Hi Boy , and the transmitter /receiver was a Hitech something or other. Biggest waste of money and incredibly unreliable, that it caused me to lose two aircraft . The radio or the receiver failed on more occasions then I care to remember. Went out and bought the latest state of the art Futaba Field Force Eight and never looked back. I guess Hitec have now got their act together and are making some good products, and ironed out the bugs that plagued the early models. Fred Culbertson: We decided to fly this 50cc Mustang on a 26X12 two blade prop on the DA 85. Its so fast it scares us. We plan on checking it with a radar gun next weekend. I have flown lots of fast planes and have a good idea as to speed in the air and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see this well over 150 MPH jorge felix: MUY BUENO LES MANDO UN FUERTE Y GRAN SALUDO . pfcdre1: nice plane, but sounds like a moped or scooter yuk Bernie Skenandore: ... world's biggest toy box. my dad flew a real one in china. 14th A.F. 'Flying Tiger'. i have a piece with an enemy bullet hole in it (real p-51). 25 grand? What a rush. Whoa! Thank you. Chris Evon: Looked slower then if it had a da50 and a 2 blade prop.. And that muffler looks ridiculous hanging out the side... scott perkins: I love that sound when it passes by the camera CloudStreets: The neighbors must have been thrilled. romeshter: Nice plane, but that muffler ruins it for me. George Pollock: I love those beautiful warbirds u guys did us proud on that one ryan wesley: if i were to purchase it how much would it be skyterrapin: ......but what a horrible engine sound. Melissa Rosser: This is nice, however, you should check this other p51 at (fast rc p51 mustang that sounds like a hotrod) George Pollock: I love those beautiful warbirds u guys did us proud on that one Kenneth Mercer: the one thing I wish someone would build is use the actual exhaust system not the pipes underneath make it look and feel more scale by using the side exhaust system or build one for it LogansPortPilot RP: Bravo,well done, absolutely beautifull,you guys should be, and deserve to be proud of your hard work, this is the nicest p-51 I ever saw. Aalaadin Fall: Thanks for replying so fast Fred =) I'll start at 40 degrees bignasdy: perty bliglum: It always bugs me when I see these gorgeously detailed scale model warbirds.. With a puny 2 bladed RC prop up front.. But this is real nice! R.j. Bellanger: Man, those gotta be some deep deep pockets. So why stop at the powerplant. Looks so very very real and sounds like a toy? (a BIG toy) Nice finish. Kenneth Mercer: I agree this looks absolutely amazing I have always loved the p-51 and the four blade props none of those 3 or 2 bladed props Aalaadin Fall: I'm trying to duplicate this. How much prop pitch did you finally end up with? 150peacemaker: would the 4blade system lag on a 50cc? unclesara: Exactly, ARFs enable floods of sheeple missing heritage skills into the hobby that dilutes the culture. I don't want to hang out with a crowd of irrelevant people that can write a check and fly an off the shelf model. I respect my scratch building friends. Because true model aviation I feel strongly is about being built, not bought. Technology is wonderful (I started with escapements). But I don't think it's necessarily derived from sheer popularity. airste172: CONGRATULATIONS!!! That huge propeller is the heart and soul of the Mustang and no amount of detailing or workmanship on the rest of the model can make up for its absence. Alan Bycroft: Haha! Hmm.."full-scale" 1600mm airplane! That's pretty amazing, 200cynical! Great job on the build and fly, spyplane! BasementEngineer: ...Also, they're great for I.C. engine builders to try out their creations. ARFs also provide a platform for playing with various components you may already have lying around, and just want to put to use without building the airframe. You may have built your own full-scale airplane (awesome!), but did you build the engine yourself entirely from scratch? Probably not. At $2000 a pop, these are not really _that_ disposable! :) Getting an ARF in the air isn't too time-consuming, that's the idea. Soundrexor: Sounds waaaaaaayyy better than electric. Larry W: It sounds so great if I didnt know it was a rc plane I would think it was real.... james woodcock: also send me a link to your vid i would be interested to see it TorkRollN .: What is the diameter of the 4 blade Solo prop on this Mustang? Nikalus Korbylo: Dear Santa... james woodcock: hey are you a real modeler or just a person who spouts before he thinks i agree 700 hrs is quite a bit to put into a model so unless you can put your money where your mouth is well yu know the drill fo and as for my comment this is a very sweet plane also yu who just likes to spout bs post a vid of your plane you built from scratch JohnVH541: so, how fast did the radar say? average speed on my doppler program shows it maybe 100mph, thats pretty slow, but looks about right watching it on the video. chipreymundo: He used escapements...that makes him at least 60. I am over 60 too but I luckily escaped the old fart mentality of so many of my contemporaries. I have built tons of planes from control line to rc combat. I love to build and have a plane nobody else has at the field. I also like the idea of seeing a plane I like...for example a WACO UPF7 would take me all summer to build, but I can get the arf in the air in a week. So what's the big deal...different strokes, buddy. MrF1fanatic: Not only fast, LOUD! lol mcso911: Great Job on the plane. And best wishes from the folks at Solo Propellers. 2512rc: Hello Fred ! This is an incredible airplane and you fly it well. Any one of us at a mature stage in the hobby have built from scratch back when, very few of us have the time to do so now. AeroWorks builds airframes that are as perfect as one can get and anyone that thinks an ARF is just "writing a check" is an idiot. Your build, engineering, fit, finish, performance and piloting are second to none !!! ( by the way, unclesara has just 1 video posted of the view FROM a full size homebuilt ARF !) vizzuleyes: Wow spyplane5559, I can't believe all of the people hating on this bird because it was an ARF. Who the hell cares! The time you had to put in it to customize all that was done seems to be what people do not understand. I have been flying for 24 years and went from bare bone kits to arfs and I am still proud of all of my Warbirds. To the point, great job! great flight and info. She is a show stopper for sure. Oh and sounds truly awesome. Keep the shiny side up, and keep on flying. MultiRambo15: By far the best sounding P-51 I've ever heard. Beautiful job!! Julian Ng: Very very nice......great detailing. Flys nice too....but sound a tad too loud, don't you think so? Am surprised, you do not get banned by the residents! scubaemt25: Its nice to see someone who knows how to land..... most videos these guys couldn't land a balloon ... nice landing Corey Bryant: NICELY put, sir. Very nice plane. Fred Culbertson: absolutely positively not bruiserhzj: The point i'm trying to make is...just as a person works hard to build a scratch built plane himself, he works hard to make the machines to build it for him...and welcome ARF'S! It's a lot harder to build a machine to build ARF'S than it is to build a scatch built plane that's for sure. But people leave that bit out of the argument. It's all part of the process, and we should be thankful that we have this technology that makes the modelling world more efficient. unclesara: As presumptuous and elitist as you sound, I am unworried nor surprised you can not fit your head around the concepts being discussed here. Joel Carlson: Wow! Great landing. Awesome plane. opmike343: I could just as easily say that "real" modellers design and fabricate their own aircraft, sourcing the raw materials themselves. Care to share any novel airfoil designs of yours? Surely you're not going with what some other guy is probably already using. What about engines and electronics? There's respect to be had for someone that builds their own; the guy that runs his mouth off about building his own is a braggart that's a legend in his own mind. |
