Rub remaining 1 teaspoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper all over steak. Scatter tomatoes around steak.
- Roast 25 to 27 minutes or until temperature on meat thermometer, inserted into thickest part of roll, reaches 130 degrees F. Let steak stand in pan 10 minutes to set juices for easier slicing. Remove and discard twine; cut roll crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer meat and tomatoes with their juices to serving platter.

Wind River Platform for Safety Critical ARINC 653 Selected by EADS/CASA - the Spanish Aerospace Division of EADS
Alameda, Calif.-July 26, 2004-Wind River Systems [NASDAQ: WIND], the global leader in device software optimization (DSO), today announced that EADS/CASA's Military Transport Aircraft Division (MTAD), selected Wind River Platform for Safety Critical ARINC 653 as the device software foundation for its new boom air-to-air refueling technology (ARBS). Wind River was selected because it is the only device software vendor with a Platform that is ARINC 653 Supplement 1 compliant. It is also the only company to offer a flexible licensing model, allowing EADS and its divisions to develop mission critical applications better, faster at a lower cost and more reliably. "This new application will provide the Airbus family with a high quality, flexible, low risk and cost-effective technology that will meet short and mid term military tanking transport requirements. Wind River's unflagging commitment to safety critical application development and certification made them an ideal fit for this boom control application," said E. Martin, MTAD Systems software manager. "With Platform for Safety Critical ARINC 653, we have the complete foundation required to build and certify our application." MTAD is responsible for all military transport aircraft derivatives within EADS, including the Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT). The A330 MRTT is derived from EADS' Airbus A330 aircraft, which is the leader in its commercial market segment. With Wind River, MTAD is developing the control software for the new tail boom that will enable The device software that will control these mid-air refueling operations requires RTCA DO-178B level A safety certification, and the foundation operating system must be ARINC 653 compliant. Wind River Platform for Safety Critical ARINC 653 is designed to provide fully integrated device software platforms that meet these stringent safety certifications. The Platform is based on VxWorks AE653, a fully ARINC653 Supplement 1 compliant operating system, which enables application of different safety levels to share computing resources and is also specifically designed to support complex, partitioned applications such as the refueling project. "Through its integrated platforms, Wind River continues to enable its customers to drive advances in safety critical applications," Andreas Pabinger, vice president EMEA for Wind River. "With another one of its division selecting the Wind River Platform, EADS continues to streamline its device software development while leveraging the industry's leading device software." The Royal Australian Air Force has selected the A330 MRTT to meet their refuelling requirements, and the first of five aircrafts is scheduled for delivery in2008. The A310-300, which is owned by EADS/MTAD, will be the first aircraft that will include this new system. It will also be used as the demonstration aircraft for the boom system qualification in 2005. |

Bio and Links
I was born in South Bend IN and raised in Elkhart IN, and moved to southwestern Illinois, near St Louis MO, after a four-year tour with the US Air Force when I graduated from high school. I have always been fascinated by cemeteries ever since I was a young child, especially small family cemeteries. In the last 30-plus years, I have delved into my family genealogy on my father's (Bjornstad) and mother's (Denson) side. My paternal grandfather, Kristian Bjornstad, immigrated from Norway in the early 1900s, eventually settling in eastern North Dakota. His oldest brother had an interest in the Bjornstad genealogy and he compiled the family record into a book and had it published in Oslo Norway in 1943, which traces the family origins to the first king of Norway. I have used it as a reference when submitting memorials for my father's ancestors on Find A Grave. On my mother's side, a distant cousin, Dr. Marion E. Denson of Columbia TN (now deceased) published a genealogy book in 1997 on the Denson families in America, tracing them back to the mid-1600s, when a William Denson came from England and settled in southern Virginia, near the present-day city of Norfolk. This book has been a great source of reference for my Find A Grave memorials pertaining to my Denson ancestors. Additionally, I want to give special thanks to Ronald C. Denson of Birmingham AL (now deceased) who also compiled a genealogy of my Denson ancestors which was very helpful.
I also want to give special thanks to my wife, Angela Bjornstad, for her help in formatting the photos that I have posted to Find A Grave.
I am acceptable to transferring memorials on Find A Grave to anyone who requests them and who is a direct descendant of the person whose memorial I have posted. If I have incorrectly stated any information for any memorial that I have posted, please contact me through the Find A Grave message board or E-mail me and I will gladly make the necessary correction(s). Also, I do not object if anyone posts pictures to any memorials that I created and still manage.
I do not have the ability to instantly make any changes or corrections to the Famous memorials that I have posted. Only the Find A Grave administrators can do that. If you should find an error on any Famous memorial that is credited to me, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com and provide them with the required changes/corrections.

RE: Happy Holidays
Hope you had a good holiday. I haven't been doing a lot because having severe back problems can't sit long, can't walk long, can't lay long and old age took everything else away from me I wanted to do long.
It is better now, my wife had to have surgery for breast cancer in September and it hasn't been an e easy road for her. I remember when grandma Love had a breast removed about 1950, now they don't have to take the whole thing but it still messes with their head about invasion of their body.
Now that it is done the doctors want to start on my back so I guess maybe everything will be better in a couple of more months, I will let you know,send prayers

RE: Coin Designers
I tried Bobb.... Gave examples too. I've had some go after being turned down for "not famous" the first time. Never tried it with a second turndown. I have kept banging away at ones when the rejection was for "not good enough". The challenge has been getting ones upgraded. Bio almost always gets accepted right away--but lately, I've not been too sucessful with getting it upgraded--and we are not given any feedback unless we are the manager (and sometimes not even then). So I never know if it's ignored, not famous, or not good enough.

RE: Coin Designers
Might help if you sent them a note recommending him. Since you did the others, they might listen. I've tried twice and also sent direct appeals, which were ignored. I'm about done. Now if he were only an obscure opera singer....
Gasparro was a friend of my dad's (he was an industrial heat-treating engineer and sold the Mint furnaces for annealing of dies, etc.). I got to visit both the old mint on Spring garden St. and the new (current one) and got to go *way* behind the scened a couple of times--and also met him. I was inches from an active coining press (boy how things have changed!) at the old mint and got to see a galvino in a reducing maching where a die was being engraved. No camera, of course.... My dad was there when the second inauguration Nixon medal was unveiled to the staff to get everyone's opinion.
So this one is a little personal.

A challenging fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nevada County and North Lake Tahoe
Date: Saturday, May 17, 2014 – Nevada City, California
Routes: The Mountain Bike Endurance Ride offers two routes:
- 50 Miles of demanding, technical trails, mostly single track
- 45 Miles of moderately technical trails, mostly single track
The 50 mile route follows a beautiful loop out of Nevada City on local trails, including the incomparable South Yuba Trail. The route is comprised of approximately 80% single track, 7,000+ feet of climbing and stunning views of the South Yuba River. It is one of the most memorable and challenging rides you'll do this year, on road or dirt. This route is a tough ride, roughly equivalent to a difficult road century. It is best suited for advanced, fit mountain bikers. Last year, most participants completed the ride in 7-8 hours.
The 45 mile route is less demanding, but also follows some of the best trails in the area.
For a more detailed description of the trails, click here (PDF).
Please note that although there are well stocked food stations on the routes, this is largely a self-supported ride that covers some remote terrain in isolated areas of Nevada County.
New this year: There will be shorter routes available for those riders who want to support this great cause but are not prepared for the endurance routes. Please contact our office to make arrangements for your route after you register following the instructions below: firstname.lastname@example.com or (530) 265-2059.
This is a ride, not a race
This is a charity ride, so each rider is expected to collect at least $250 in sponsorship donations. We also have event sponsors that help offset the costs of the ride. All proceeds raised at this event support our valuable mentoring programs for at-risk children in the Nevada County and North Lake Tahoe region.
To register:
- Call Rick Kalb at 530-470-1800
- A registration packet will be mailed or emailed to you.
- Complete the registration form mailed to you and submit per instructions.
- Start collecting pledges! Please note that we have set up a way for our riders to collect pledges online to facilitate their fundraising efforts. To do so, all you need to do is follow the steps outlined in your registration packet. For more information on collecting online pledges, Big Brothers Big Sisters: 530-265-2059 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Want to support the event, but can't ride in it? Then become an Event Sponsor! Contact our office for details: 530-265-2059.

Headaches Problems and Solutions |
Home | Products & Services | Modular Nutrition | Medical Information | Alpha Nutrition Program | Logon | Contact |
Alpha Online Topics from the book Order book from Alpha Online Migraine and Food Allergy You can order the book separately |
Chronic daily headache is a common problem reported by children and adults. The causes are multiple. Treatment with dugs can make the problem worse rather than better. The best approach is to locate and remove the cause. There are two common patterns of headache:
Migraine headaches are particularly severe "sick headaches." Tension headaches are associated with increased neck, scalp, and facial muscle tone and tenderness. The muscle tension and soreness is an effect of the underlying biochemical cause of the pain and not a cause of it. Many patients have mixed headache patterns, with "tension" headaches occurring more often than their sick, migraine headaches. Migraine Features
Migraines can begin in children and affect females more than males. The average age of onset is 20 and most people have 15 to 20 years of headaches before they disappear. Estimates of migraine prevalence vary from a low of 18% in women and 6% of men in the US to 23% of women and 9% of men in Canada. The peak age for migraines is 35-45. It is likely that prevalence estimates are very low, are based on limited information and misdiagnosis of headache causes. New headaches starting after the age of 45 should not be considered migraine until all other causes have been ruled out. Some women have "premenstrual migraine" and only experience headaches days before and during their periods. In the past, fewer than half of migraine suffers sought help from their physicians. In Canada, it is estimated that 27 of 100 lost work days is due to migraine headaches at an annual cost of $500 million per year. (Family Practice Jan 12 1998;36) 71% of 75 neurologists reported having at least one migraine headache at some point in their life. This rate is much higher than the 12% lifetime prevalence reported in the general population, suggesting that migraines are being missed or wrongly diagnosed. One of the most common misdiagnoses appears to be sinus headache. Gladstone stated that: "Billions of dollars are spent in North America each year on over-the-counter (OTC) medications, sinus remedies, and alternative treatments for headaches, but for many, these treatments are ineffective or unsatisfactory. This is probably because most individuals don't know what type of headaches they have… There is very little education on headache in medical school, despite the fact that it is such a common condition." 65% of the neurologists reported tension-type headache in the preceding year, followed by migraine at 51%. When the authors surveyed medical students and family practice doctors, the prevalence of migraine in the past year did not exceed 32%. Conversely, medical students and family physicians were much more likely than neurologists to report sinus headache. Ninety-five percent of neurologists with migraines reported using OTC drugs. NSAIDs were the favored first choice agent for migraines.
Anthony Brown. Migraines May Be More
Common Than Previously Thought. Reporting from the 46th Annual
Scientific Meeting of the American Headache Society in Vancouver,
British Columbia, June 2004. The study was reported by J. Gladstone,
from the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Analgesic HeadachesKossoff suggested that over 50% of chronic daily headache is thought to be secondary to overuse of analgesics such as acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, ergotamine, triptans, and caffeine. Withdrawal of the offending analgesic is a well-established treatment for medication-overuse headache. Better than drugs... why not remove the original food causes of migraine headaches?Headache Solution >> Remove the Cause: The Alpha Nutrition Program is a standard method of diet revision that can resolve chronic headaches. The first phase of the program is an attempt to clear symptoms. This is home science. You start with the hypothesis that your food intake is causing or contributing to your illness and you do an experiment to find out if it is true. When you read Alpha Nutrition Program instructions, you will realize that there are three tracks through the program - fast, medium and slow. You need to decide the best track for you. To help you decide what strategy is best for you, we suggest rating the severity of your existing illness: You can retreat to Phase 1 foods and replace one or two meals per day with Alpha ENF. This is the medium track on Alpha Nutrition- rehearsal mode. If the problem is prolonged headaches, especially a mixed pattern with daily pain punctuated by attacks of migraine, recovery involves a period of reduced food intake or fasting. The most definitive experiment is to take a food holiday. We recommend Alpha ENF to replace food. The best way to begin is to order the Rescue Starter Pack that includes the Program book and a 500 gram jar of Alpha ENF to try. The book, the Human Brain, provides a comprehensive account of brain disorders in general including the role of brain circulation, high blood pressure, and atherosclerosis in the production of headache and other symptoms of brain dysfunction.

Wind River Becomes a Strategic Developer Member of Eclipse; Proposes the Foundation's First Device Software Development Project
- Joins broad ecosystem of premier industry players including IBM, Intel, MontaVista and QNX for the device space
- Drives next level of industry standardization; helps companies further industry standardization
ALAMEDA, Calif. – March 8, 2005 –Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: WIND), the global leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO) and the Eclipse Foundation today announced that Wind River will propose and lead an Eclipse Device Software Development Platform project, the first project specifically for device software development. Wind River elevated its membership status with the Eclipse Foundation from being an add-in provider to Strategic Developer and will further incorporate Eclipse-based technology into Wind River products. With the Device Software Development Project, Wind River is bringing its expertise in device software development and run-time solutions to the Eclipse community to foster industry standardization and innovation to help companies develop and run device software better, faster, more reliably and at a lower cost.
"The goal of Eclipse is to create a universal development platform to enable global enterprises to develop software more efficiently," said Mike Milinkovich, executive director, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. "Wind River has deep experience in device software and will provide the vision, technology and resources to enhance the Eclipse platform specifically for embedded software development. The addition of the Device Software Development Platform project will help expand Eclipse's presence in embedded computing, a key focus area for the foundation as outlined in the recently unveiled Eclipse Roadmap."
Eclipse has gained tremendous traction in the enterprise market and is focused on replicating this success into several key areas, including embedded systems where vendors have started to adopt Eclipse technology for development tools in the device space. The Device Software Development Platform project will build on this success by creating an open source tools infrastructure that is supported by multiple vendors. In the future, developers will find that the Device Software Development Platform enables them to easily create software that operates across a wide range of operating systems, connection mechanisms and target architectures. The Device Software Development Platform will initially focus on a framework and exemplary tools for target management that will enable developers to deploy, debug, and analyze applications on a device as well as the configuration of operating system and middleware components.

A federal judge who overturned President Obama's six-month deepwater drilling ban says he learned he owned stock after he heard the case.
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman has asked his broker to sell the stocks as soon as the market opened on June 22. He says he does not know whether he made a profit or not on the stocks.
His broker informed him that the stocks were sold prior to him striking down the ban.

The 120 Days of Simon
- Posted by Johanna on June 27, 2010 at 7:36 am
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: by Simon Gardenfors
- PUBLISHER: Top Shelf Productions; $14.95 US
Simon Gardenfors spent four months bumming around his native Sweden, staying on random people's couches, sleeping around, and doing drugs. He captured this in 400+ pages with absolutely no lesson learned. (I much preferred the similar Red Eye, Black Eye, where the author had to travel, instead of choosing to goof off, and focused on those he met instead of being so self-centered.)
My first problem was not being able to judge Simon's self-image. He puts up a call for places to crash on his website, and he calls himself a cartoonist and rapper. But because I know nothing of Sweden (and I didn't learn much from this volume, since he rarely draws anything but himself, rooms, and couches), I had no idea how famous he was. I didn't know whether his idea that fans would feed and house him was self-deluded or sensible.
Early on, an unidentified friend sums up the concept as shown. I didn't know just how accurate a description of the book it was at the time. All of the pages look like this, by the way, with two mostly black panels on top of each other. Simon's cartooning is minimal, drawing himself with a perfectly round head, as though he were a Fisher-Price person. I also never knew whether the dots on his face were stubble, freckles, or zits.
Simon portrays himself, at times, as quite the jerk. He promises people he won't put them in his comic — but since we're reading about them, you can see that didn't mean anything. He fools around with a teen girl in her parents' house. He thinks he's in love, but he wants to keep sleeping around for a while because he doesn't "wanna risk my freedom right now." He screws up a promising relationship with a female cartoonist because he would rather spend his 120 days having random sex. When he bursts into tears because she finally gives him the heave-ho, instead of sympathizing with him, I thought, "good! Maybe he'll learn something." I was disappointed; he didn't.
Things are mentioned that are never followed up. Early on, Simon complains about how being fed and drugged is making him gain weight. He worries that it's going to make him less sexually attractive, but based on the conquests he later shows, that's not a problem. We never know whether he loses the pounds or just accepts being pudgier — it's simply never mentioned again.
I believe we're supposed to enjoy reading about his wacky adventures for their own sake, but I've already seen "manboy over-indulges, refuses to grow up" in plenty of other comics. The Swedish setting could have made this unique if anything had been done with it. Instead, Simon trips out on hallucinogenic cactus, comes to a major realization, then ignores it to conclude he knew that stuff all along. His self-centeredness is breathtaking. Late in the book, he gets a $40,000 grant (that was never previously mentioned) to make all his money problems go away. What a waste!
The pictures are frequently unnecessary, mostly talking heads. The details are hard to capture in this minimalist style — beer cans look like sushi rolls, for example. During one section, where a black girl's brother threatens him for sleeping with her, the drawings are mildly racist, with their big lips. This book is a stunning example of the usual criticisms made against autobiographical comics, that they're about a bunch of spoiled guys who don't have the imagination to come up with a story so instead disappear down their own navel. (The publisher provided a review copy and has posted preview pages.)

June 27, 2010 at 8:11 PMI pretty much agree with you, but will add that another of the Top Shelf Swedish books – Hey Princess – does pretty much everything 120 Days doesn't – satisfying a lot of your criticism about it – and uses the Swedish culture angle to its advantage. You should give it a shot if you haven't already!
- Johanna Says:
June 27, 2010 at 9:49 PMInteresting you should mention that one — I looked at both, and picked 120 Days to cover because I found the art style more superficially attractive. (I like that clean design.) I guess I went the wrong way — and now I don't think I have Hey Princess any more. Oh well, my mistake.

Good point about how you received it as a non-Swede. Now I wonder if Gardenfors wrote it more for the Swedish market (which might not find a Swedish setting an angle?) or the international one (not being sarcastic here, I've heard of writers with other less-commonly-read native languages keeping the international markets in mind too, like Rutu Modan and Taban lo Liyong).
John Says:
"I pretty much agree with you…"
I haven't read it but from the review seems like it's not my cup of tea either.

Did either of you see the commercial for them? It's always cool to see publishers discover more stuff to translate. :) I wonder where English-language publishers of comics will focus on next after Japan, South Korea, the Francophonie, and now Sweden?

Hello everyone,
My wife's 1999 Td Di has thrown its cam belt and bust a few things in its head for good measure, so i'm looking in to what's involved in the cam belt change, timing etc.
The reason for the posting is that from what I can see the original cam belt tensioner isn't spring loaded and requires a clavis gauge to set the tension. The replacement tensioners seem to be spring loaded. Does this mean that the clavis gauge isn't required for the spring loaded variant? If so how does the tension setting differ from the details in the Haynes manual?

Steelers need to look at this guy:
Only one year at UT after juco career....One of the most exciting player's with the ball in his hands ever at UT:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqzag6BTqS0
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
Limas Sweed looked better. This year's draft is going to be to stock up on the defensive side of the ball. S, NT and LB all need addressing.
They should keep Wallace and keep Mendenhall if possible. No need to waste draft picks when those guys are adequate. |
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
No need to waste draft pick when those guys are BEASTS SENT FROM THE FIERY DEPTHS TO UNLEASH HELL ON THE GRIDIRON IN BIBLICAL FASHION!!! |
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
Both of those guys are almost surely gone. Very little chance they return, certainly not both of them. Time to look ahead.
But i agree anyway - those defensive positions are absolutely going to be looked at first - especially considering our age & huge contracts |
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
That kid is a brilliant open field runner. I'm not sure that there is a pressing need for another skill guy on the offense though in the early rounds.
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
Good vid though. He is an impressive talent. Saw him going in the first in some mocks. That is way too high right now.
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
it would be great if it were the 2008 draft:chuckle:
I have to agree with others, no doubt though - I really liked what I saw in this video - extremely, extremely athletic and physical for such an open field guy - seems he's got some serious frame along with that speed |
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
He's fast and very talented in open space. He has a knack for getting open with his speed, but doesn't run crisp routes and struggles when he's being double covered. If he's able to get open, though, he's going to make the catch and take it to the house.
Who does that remind you of? |
Re: Steelers need to look at this guy:
i was never a Mendenhall fan but our line has a lot to do with him not tearing it up on the field. Peterson is the best back in the NFL yet if anyone watched his last game were he broke 2000 yards you can see that he almost always gets past the first line untouched. i have seen teame completly shut him down as well. what i am saying is if Peterson played for the Steelers he wouldnt be doing anywere close to the damage he has done with the Vikings. our line should be much improved next season and i would like to keep Mendy and see what he can do behind an improved offensive line.
if we can also sign Wallace for somewere around the same amount we Signed Brown for then we can draft all defense unless a good TE fell to us. we have a ton of needs with Kiesel, Hampton, Troy, Clark, Harison and Taylor all leaving this season or next. we really cant afford to draft a high rb and wr. |

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Obama asks for more money, Marines to protect embassies
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
May 16th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Obama called on Congress Thursday, asking them to give him more money so he can improve security at embassies around the world. This call to action comes amid congressional investigations into what happened in Benghazi and if Obama was remiss in taking steps that could have saved American lives. WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - Obama made his request during a conference in the White House Rose Garden. The day before, the White House made its case, releasing more than 100 pages of emails to reinforce Obama's claims that he did not know what was happening in Benghazi and could not have prevented it."I'm calling on Congress to work with us and support and fully fund our budget request. We need to come together and truly honor the sacrifices." He also asked for Congress to increase the number of Marines posted to guard the embassies. Oddly, one would think this is his duty as commander in chief, to assign additional security to U.S. missions in troubled spots. Obama made his call for more money and more Marines during a Rose Garden meeting with Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Obama and Edrogan discussed the situation in Syria and the importance of taking more action to prevent the spillover of violence into Turkey and to resolve the conflict that has claimed nearly 100,000 lives. Obama also talked about his aggressive pursuit of an internal leak. Last week, his administration seized two months of phone records covering more than 100 Associated Press journalists. The move has been criticized as overbroad and scandalous. Obama claimed his actions were only to protect national security and American lives. "I make no apologies" Obama said about the investigation. "Leaks related to national security can put people at risk. They can put men and women that I have sent into the battlefield at risk." At least he now acknowledges that he's the one putting those lives at risk. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Hot compost
I don't have a composter or a compost bin (trying to work towards that).
I just throw all my organic waste with dried leaves and some greens into a pile in backyard and try to turn it every so often.
What I notice is that my compost is not *warm*.
What makes compost warm? Should the pile of waste be closer/tighter? Is it too scattered? Is something missing in the bin (greens or dried leaves or organic waste)...I am not using any particular combination....should I?
Is this this tricky? :-(
I do pretty much the same thing except that I confine the pile within a circle of fence wire. very simple. Anything will do. If you happen to have a bunch of junk lumber you can make a bin of that. Also, I have worm bins in the basement and feed most of the garbage to them, but there is more than I need for this purpose so I put the rest in the compost piles outdoors. When I dig into the pile to make a cavity for what I am adding I always find it hot and steamy just 6 or 8 inches deep. The garbage consists of coffee grounds, including filter, banana peels, anything of that nature. Not tricky at all.
Dave Nelson
Thank You Dave Nelson.
Another quick question. The green grass clippings I get from my neigbor and my yard...both of us use "true green" company to maintain lawn. So essentially the green clippings would be toxic and cannot be used for composting...correct?
I make hot compost all at once, and let it "cook" until it is finished. I have a 40 gallon rubbermaid trash can I fill with leaves 3 or 4 times over. I dump the leaves out, spreading them in green grass that I've let grow pretty tall. Then I mow it all together, making sure the grass is damp before I mow it (not soaked). Then I rake it all up into a big pile and leave it. It gets hot, I mean really hot. In about 5-7 days, I'll take a fork and turn/mix the whole pile and it will heat up again. Just repeat the process until the pile no longer heats up when it is turned. Then, that pile is "done," and you can make another one. Just the way I do it, and it is a little more work than "cold" composting where you just periodically add stuff to an already existing pile.
trivedi, yes, I turn the compost about every week until it no longer heats up. At that time, it's finished and ready for use and feeding to worms. I turn it with a 4 prong fork. It's not heavy if you take it small chunks at a time. Just start on top one fork full at a time re-piling it until you're done. Moisten as you go if needed, but don't soak it.
There are a lot of components to getting hot compost.
Size of pile: you need a fair bit of volume; your pile should be at least a cubic yard.
Browns and greens: need to be in the right proportion. The rule of thumb is 1/4 greens to 3/4 browns.
Size of components: the smaller your ingredients are, the better, especially for browns. I run all my garden and yard waste, including chicken bedding (wood shavings full of chicken poop), and used coffee filters through a chipper-shredder and it helps a LOT. Using lots of used coffee grounds really helped heat up my pile, too, due to the fine texture being so easy for the bacteria to eat.
Moisture and aeration: if a pile is too wet, it won't heat up. If it's too dry, it won't heat up. And it has to be turned to keep the oxygen supply going. I find that if I want a hot pile, I have to fuss with it a bit to keep the moisture and oxygen level just right. If your components are shredded finely, it's much easier to turn. I have a bin and use a Compost Crank.
Your pile doesn't HAVE to get hot in order to make compost. But cold composting takes much longer, as in years rather than months.
The five rules of rot
1 You need the mass of 3'x3'x3' to 5'x5'x5', particle size 1-3 inches to create tighter and more insulating compost pile
2 60-65% moisture content (wrung up sponge)
3 25:1 to 30:1 C/N ratio
4 Oxygen
5 Time (the more you participate, the quicker)
What makes compost hot: the right mixture of carbon and nitrogen, the size of the mass for insulation and to support the organism during the composting process, moisture content and enough nitrogen to sustain the life of the composting process- coffee ground, coffee ground and more coffee ground. Aerobic composting burns lots of nitrogen. The pile needs to be compacted without being water logged. Add sweet gumballs within each layer of material. Hope that helps.
Thank you Sea (and everyone else again).
I know now what to do. I need to add more greens. Most of the green grass clippings unfortunately I treated with pesticide. I have been adding kitchen scraps and lot of coffee grounds lately.
I need to buy proper tools (fork) to turn it (I am using a shovel right now).
sweet gumballs....hmmm....will need to google....not sure what they are.
I have 4 piles going....and very excited.
Thanks All!!
What type of bin are you using? I seldom us compost fork, only when I'm building the pile or harvesting the finished compost. I found regular compost fork to big to use in the bin. There is a three-tine fork that I consider getting but I found my Snow & Neally garden claw works perfectly for me.
I just have piled it high in my backyard...I have 4 piles. Don't have a bin built yet.
I have been turning it by shovel and it is looking good. The inside is already black and done (I think) composting.
I added more green leaves, some soil, and lots of brown leaves (chopped), in between paper and rotten veggie scraps. Cover it all up with green grass clipping. Water it. Keep turning it once a week.
VERY EXCITING though lot of energy in turning it.
Hold on just minute, here.
Hot compost doesn't "kill" worms. If you have a pile of yard waste that you want to compost and you assemble it into a pile (a bin is nice, but optional) and moisten it, if you have the right combo you will get a hot compost pile. At this stage, there are no worms in it to be killed. If there are a few that somehow rode in with the leaves and branches and coffee grounds (not too likely), they will find a way out as the temp gradually gets too warm for them. Later, when the pile cools off, earthworms will usually find their way to it and help a bit with the cold stage of the process. They play a minor role or none at all. You can make compost with this method even without the help of earthworms, though most bins do attract them. This is hot composting, and the worms that may or may not be involved are earthworms.
Vermicomposting is something quite different. It means that you have a worm bin, usually a small box and lid of some sort, with red wiggler worms in it, not earthworms. You feed the worms kitchen scraps only, no yard waste. It is true that you do not want a worm bin to get hot as that will cause the worms to die, and since they are in a box, they can't escape very easily. But that is not what trivedi is doing. He wants to do hot composting, not vermicomposting. He doesn't need to worry about killing worms.
About the grass clippings ... find out what chemicals your lawn service is using and if they are safe to compost. Probably what they are using is safe to compost. The process of composting will break down all but the most extremely toxic lawn chemicals. If it isn't safe to compost, then it probably isn't anything you want around your house or pets or kids or vegetable garden, etc. So ask them to use a safer pesticide or none at all. These companies will only change if people make it clear that is what they want.
Hi All; The difference between HOT YOU DO the turning and COLD THE WORMS DO the turning composting are two fold. One in hot composting the microbes alone break the materials down with, Two you doing the duties of dampining and turning.
In cold composting you are not concerned with the balance of materials(C to N ratio )as a matter of fact you try to intentionally not try to balance it. The worms and microbes are involved in break down of materials and the worms do the mixing as they consume and excreat it and wiggle through it. You still need to supply water and bio material.
Please note that all species of red earthworms are earthworms because they perfer to live in and close to the food source does not make them not earthworms.
Hot composting and vermicomposting are different processes, yes. But not everyone understands that, and since this is the vermicomposting forum, and the conversation was discussing hot methods, I wanted to make sure it was clear that pursuing the hot approach would not work for someone who presumably intended to support a typical closed system worm bin. I wouldn't want anyone to accidentally heat up their box and kill the worms they just added to it!
"Hot composting and vermicomposting are different processes"
Thank you Jajm. I had realised my mistake after posting. Though I must admit, I am learning. I didn't know the various composting methods (cold, hot, vermicompost).
I appreciate all the help.
I am exploring "WORM TOWER" that I accidently found on gardenweb and I am quite excited about it.
Has anyone used this method? Does it work?
If I build a WORM TOWER in hot veggie patch, would the heat from sun kill the worms? These are questions I am exploring.
Thanks for help and support.
Ms T
If the worms do not read the instructions on the worm factory to move up towards the food in the next bin then I find it difficult to believe that the worms will follow instructions to move to the worm tower to eat and then exit the worm tower when nature calls to fertilize the garden.

Some right wing anti-gvmnt nuts were planning to assassinate Obama. They killed two people to cover it up. Glad they were caught before killing more.
http://news.yahoo.com/prosecutor-ga-mur ... 41769.html
"Four Army soldiers based in southeast Georgia killed a former comrade and his girlfriend to protect an anarchist militia group they formed that stockpiled assault weapons and plotted a range of anti-government attacks, prosecutors told a judge Monday.
Prosecutors in rural Long County, near the sprawling Army post Fort Stewart, said the militia group of active and former U.S. military members spent at least $87,000 buying guns and bomb components. They allege the group was serious enough to kill two people — former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York — by shooting them in the woods last December in order to keep its plans secret."

On first appearance what could be just another high school comedy is actually much, much more. From Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, the directing and writing team later responsible for About Schmidt and Sideways, Election is a wonderfully smart political satire as well as a rich character study of suburban Omaha, full of truths about both teen and adult life. Reese Witherspoon, in her best performance and perhaps best role, brilliantly plays Tracy Flick, an ambitious high school overachiever, so driven she mostly comes off as unlikable and vindictive, but her back story proves to be much more complicated.
Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) seems perfectly content in his life; his marriage may be stale, but he finds an almost smug satisfaction in being a beloved teacher. Tracy is running unopposed for student body president in the upcoming school election and the inevitable outcome starts to grate on Jim, not just because he finds her generally annoying as a student but also because he knows a secret about her. His one time best teaching bud, Dave Novotny (Mark Harelik), had an affair with Tracy. After some manipulation she told her mother, which inevitably led to Dave's firing and his wife, Linda (Delaney Driscoll), leaving him. Jim and his wife Diane (Molly Hagan) are trying to get pregnant, but with Dave now out of the picture, Jim has developed an attraction for Linda and tries to have an affair with her.
Continue ReadingEverything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex, But Were Afraid To Ask
Like most of Woody Allen's early comedies Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex, But Were Afraid To Ask is the definition of "hit or miss." This is a joke a minute film. Some are wonderfully funny but, like Airplane some years later, when you throw a ton of jokes at the wall not all of them are going to stick. Enough do to make this well worth the experience and make it an above average comedy. Released during the sexual liberation and adult sexual reeducation of the early '70s, this is kinda/sorta based on David Reuben's hugely popular manual about human sexuality of the same name. Allen uses the chapter heads to basically create seven short films, spoofing the pseudo seriousness of the subject matter. Some work better than others, but oh boy, the ones that do work are home runs. Here's the rundown starting with the least successful of the seven and moving to the better ones.
Why Do Some Women Have Problems Reaching Orgasms?
Continue ReadingFast Times At Ridgemont High
Fast Times At Ridgemont High is The Godfather or the Gone With The Wind of '80s teenage sex comedies. It's bigger and better than its lesser peers including My Tutor, The Last American Virgin, Porky's, Losing It, and a list that goes on and on. Inspired by the success of the wonderful National Lampoon's Animal House as well as the ensemble attitude of American Graffiti, based on a book by Cameron Crowe, with an exceptional cast of then unknowns (including two of their generation's best, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Sean Penn), Fast Times At Ridgemont High is an epic study of Southern California teen suburban culture of the early 1980s.
The film really is more than just a teen sex comedy (which doesn't usually mean that sex is actually happening - it is generally more just being wished for - as well as preening and peeking for potential nudity). Besides being very funny there is some dramatic weight to the film and to many of the characters, mostly concerning an abortion. Other than a few teachers at Ridgemont High not many adults (parents) factor into the story (not including the 26-year old stereo salesman who seduces a teenager). This is a teen fantasy of laughs and sex all in a sunny, year-round location. It's the lighter side of the "burning the school down" fantasy of Over The Edge.

While chasing down a collection, Chili encounters a B-movie producer named Harry Zim (Hackman) and his scream-queen star, Karen Flores (Russo). Harry has backed himself into a corner, owning money to a local hoodlum (Lindo), who tries to get a piece of the best script Harry has ever owned. In steps Chili, who loves Tinseltown and decides to become a producer. Chili and Karen approach her ex-husband, mega-movie star, Martin Weir (DeVito), to star in the film.
After a successful career as a cinematographer (Raising Arizona, Misery), Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black) took his place in the director's chair. After two successful Addam's Family films, he brought Elmore Leonard's bestseller to the big screen.

A lot of films about drugs and drug users take an exploitive yet ultimately moralistic tone about their contentious subject matter. Actors are given scenery to chew as either addicts or dealers. Junkies waste away tragically, but elegantly, and the dealers are suave thugs making the most of their Faustian bargain of a career. So often we are meant to envy the way the characters give a middle finger to societal rules and yet, when they ultimately reach their downfall, we are encouraged to feel morally superior. Call it a cultural byproduct of our country's draconian drug laws where all drugs are equally bad. (Except for alcohol which never causes any problems whatsoever.)
The thing I love about Go is the refreshing lack of judgment on the characters. It's a movie about a random assortment of relatively amoral young people in L.A. in one insane 24-hour period. They work dead end jobs, they go to raves, and they take ecstasy. They're basically good kids, just young and broke and out for a good time. They get into trouble, but not the kind of finger-wagging clichéd trouble that a bad screenwriter would normally concoct for these characters. It's more of the absurdist kind of trouble that Quentin Tarantino used in various plotlines of Pulp Fiction.
Continue ReadingHannah And Her Sisters
Many consider Hannah And Her Sisters to be the third and best installment in Woody Allen's realistic New York "dramadies" (the other two being Annie Hall and Manhattan). While not as stylish as the previous two, and perhaps even slightly marred by some distinctly 1980's hair and wardrobe choices, the film is one of the director's most mature and dense with ideas while still balancing his knack for comedic writing.
As indicated by the title, the multiple-storied movie focuses on the love lives revolving around Hannah (Mia Farrow) and her sisters Lee (Barbara Hershey) and Holly (Dianne Wiest). Hannah's husband Elliot (Michael Caine) is torn by his romantic feelings for Lee, eventually leading to an uneven affair that also has Lee re-evaluating her life with ex-professor and current lover Frederick (Max Von Sydow). Meanwhile, Hannah's ex-husband Mickey (Woody Allen) is a worsening hypochondriac who starts questioning the meaning of life after receiving news he might have a potential brain tumor. He also develops an interest in Holly, who is feeling secure and confidant in anything except her career or love life.
Continue ReadingHappiness
Back in the mid-1990s during the heyday of the American independent film scene there were several films released during the decade that became lightning rods for controversy stemming from their, at the time, risqué subject matter. I use the phrase "at the time" because it's not clear whether movies are really capable of shocking us nowadays. In the age of the "torture porn" genre (Hostel, et al.), where even Law & Order plotlines can get pretty damn sick for prime time television, a lot of what stirred social conservatives to boycott studios over what they deemed objectionable material in movies just doesn't work them up the way it used to. It may come down to whether or not movies are really the pop cultural force they used to be.
The idea that an indie ensemble drama that features mostly a lot of awkward communicating between the unbelievably dysfunctional could cause so much trouble now seems almost quaint. Happiness, with its empathetic treatment of a pedophile character and it's numerous, uh, money shots, might still seem provocative by today's standards if for nothing else than for its refusal to deny the film's screwed up characters their essential humanity, but at the time of its release it caused an outright media firestorm prompting its original distributor to deem it too toxic for release. It eventually found a new distributor and did open to equal parts fawning praise for people who think that provocative equals good and righteous denouncement from a lot of people who probably didn't even bother to see the film.
Continue ReadingHusbands and Wives
If Annie Hall was Woody Allen's ode to falling in love, 15 years later Husbands and Wives is an examination of falling out of love. Where the look and style of Annie Hall was clean and precise, Husbands and Wives is franticly shot handheld with herky-jerky editing and an almost improvised vibe to the performances. If Annie Hall marked the beginning of Allen's great run of introspective masterpieces and near masterpieces, Husbands and Wives is the end of the streak. It's his last really important Woody Allen film and definitely his last strong acting performance before he fell into a cliché of himself or brought in other actors to substitute, aping his own famous mannerisms. Husbands and Wives doesn't have as many laughs as some of his earlier work but the insights into relationships can be utterly nerve striking. Made during his dramatic break up with his then wife Mia Farrow, it may be the last time Allen really had something he wanted to say or was worth hearing.
Besides the French New Wave camera work and cutting, there's an occasional narrator and interviews with the characters; what was meant to give the film a documentary feel actually seems now to predate reality TV. Gabe (Allen), a writer and college professor, is in a stale marriage to Judy (Farrow); they are shocked when, before a dinner date, their good friends Jack (Sidney Pollack) and Sally (Judy Davis) announce their separation. Subconsciously it may expose their inner doubts about their own marriage. Jack quickly gets a much younger girlfrie...
I Am a Sex Addict
The whole concept of being addicted to sex went over my head until I saw this film. Sure, I saw that the act could be something that people heavily desired, but it wasn't until after I saw an example that I was able to understand what many celebrities and political figures are trying desperately to confess in the public eye. I Am a Sex Addict is the hilariously simple and yet wholly autobiographical story of Caveh Zahedi, a director who decided to make a film about his struggle with sex addiction. After introducing that he has had two failed marriages on account of his addiction and is moments away from having his third failed marriage, Zahedi maps out his adventure, starting with his childhood, and openly discusses his parents' bitter divorce, which was based on infidelity. He also goes on a tangent in order to express the dreamy optimism of searching for a soulmate in every girl whom he encountered as a boy. From there it dives into confrontations with Anna, his first girlfriend and true love. Their relationship was based on "free-love" and polyamory, which eventually led to Caveh meeting Caroline on a trip to France and marrying her in order for her to remain in the States. After this ended his relationship with Anna, he returns to France with Caroline only to find himself entangled in a web of temptation when he discovers the world of prostitution.
At first, his desire to confront them is fulfilled by merely conversing with them, followed by the first step of his addiction, masturbation. It then goes on to actually performing sexual acts with them, while being honest about his indulgence with Caroline. This produces strain, so he then becomes dishonest with her, which ultimately ends their relationship. After learning nothing from those two women he meets Christa, a girl he thinks has finally accepted him for what he is. But as it turns out, their relationship also leads to destruction on account of his honesty. While with her he meets Devin, who also does not believe in monogamy and leads him to believe that he simply needs a better, more understanding girlfriend. But after leaving Christa to be with Devin, he realizes that Devin is an alcoholic and they too part ways in an ugly fashion. It wasn't until his relationship with Devin that he discovered that all of his girlfriends were, in some ways, mirrors into his own soul, and that while he was not an alcoholic, he had the tendencies of one in terms of sex, and he eventually got help.
Continue ReadingLars and the Real Girl
Here it is. Weird and definitely not what anyone was expecting but the next film to grace our local cable stations every day twice a day from Thanksgiving to Christmas and beyond will be Lars and the Real Girl. That is until some billionaire tycoon buys the darn thing and only lets it play once a season in order to preserve it. Thanks for ruining Christmas, billionaire tycoon. It's a Wonderful Life aside, Lars has all the charm, pathos, and even menace of its classic predecessor. Ryan Gosling plays Lars, a goofy under achiever who has seems happy enough in his quirky solitude despite his sister-in-law's maternal pressing for more social interaction. He is liked and respected at work, in the community and has even inspired a crush by the new girl in his office.
Not until he introduces his Internet girlfriend, Bianca, a Brazilian missionary raised by nuns, do we realize his situation is more dire than that of a solitary bachelor. Bianca is a life sized doll made to order and anatomically correct. In Lars' mind she is also a real person. His delusion is complete and Gosling's performance so nuanced that her side of conversations are filled in by your own imagination. At once Lars' brother and sister-in-law seek help as Lars' fragility becomes utterly apparent. The stunning absurdity of the situation filmed with a cunning honesty and a soundtrack that plays at a love story but weaves the underlying sadness from Lars over Bianca and subsequently, the audience, makes it inevitable that we write the dialog and story between them. Disturbing? Maybe, but Lars is loved and protected by the entire community. Not since It's a Wonderful Life has a township been portrayed with such fun and affection. Lars has touched all of them somehow, if only by finally being himself in the midst of his sadness.

Ham VideoA DATV (digital amateur television) transmitter is installed in the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS). This transmitter is dubbed "Ham Video". Main characteristics :
Ham Video operates with a Canon XF-305 camera. CommissioningCommissioning of the Ham Video transmitter was performed April - March 2014. All four frequencies and two symbol rates were checked with each of the two antennas. For each commissioning step, US astronaut Michael Hopkins transmitted video and audio during a pass over the Matera ground station. The Matera VLBI station is located at the Italian Space Ageny's 'Centro di Geodesia Spaziale G. Colombo' (CGS) near Matera, a small town in the south of Italy. The final commissioning test was performed by JAXA astronaut Koichi wakata, using configuration 4 for optimum results:
The signals were received by several ground stations and streamed to the BATC server (British Amateur Television Club). Ham TV streams are identified ISS1 - 5. The BATC server is available at http://www.batc.tv Blank transmissionPresently, Ham Video transmits a continuous DATV signal with the camera turned off. Ground stations receive a black image and audio at zero level. This Blank Transmission will go on till August 6, 2014. A « blank » DVB-S signal contains all the data of normal DVB-S. The information tables describing the content and the content itself, i.e. the video (black) and the audio (silence), are the same as for the image and the sound produced by a camera. Receiving a black image and silent sound may seem uninteresting but, from a technical perspective, the digital signal offers an important source of information. Even without decoding, several measurements of the received signal provide valuable information:
Reception ReportsGround stations with S-band capability can provide valuable information. Basic data such as:
can be reported by ground stations without the need of DATV hard- and software. A reporting facility is available here : Ham Video Reporting Windows computer with TechnoTrend TT S2-1600 card and Tutioune softwareA Windows computer with TT S2-1600 receiver card can be used for Ham Video reception. The Tutioune software, developed by Jean Pierre Courjaud F6DZP, measures and records the Ham Video signals second per second:
The recorded file can be examined and forwarded to ARISS. Better even, the data can be forwarded during an ISS pass to the TiouneMonitor on the www.vivadatv.org website. In other words, the data can be observed worldwide, real time. Tutioune also shows the constellations during signal reception (see HamTV Bulletin #4). The TS stream can be recorded, but this is less interesting since richer information is already available. Tutioune also decodes the DVB tables and provides the PIDs and the channel name (« HAMTV ») recovered from theSDT table. |

#015 Hakuna Matata – 7.7%
#015 is centred around one word: "dry". Just like #014 El Salvador, we split the batch to explore different "dry"hopping-combinations. We adjusted our mashing-procedures to obtain a bit more "dry" beer, so the bitterness of the hops can shine through. However, our Dutch summer wasn't "dry" at all. No worries, better times will surely come!

The deal is a huge coup for E la Carte which has been steadily growing the number of restaurants that carry its ruggedized speciality tablet.
And it may well be the largest tablet rollout, including iPads, by any private enterprise or academic institution to date. A recent report ranks the Chicago public school system's deployment of 60,000 iPads as the biggest such iPad deployment.
Applebee's has over 1,800 restaurants in the United States. E la Carte's tablets may also wind up in iHOP restaurants as well. DineEquity, the franchisor of both restaurants, is said to be evaluating deployment to the pancake chain.
A spokesperson for E la Carte says Applebee's evaluated several other tablets before choosing the Presto.
"Let's face it, everyone who has ever been to a restaurant has been frustrated by waiting for their check," said Applebee's President Mike Archer. "Starting out, our goal was to create a way for guests to control when and how they pay their check. What we learned after nearly two years of testing is we can provide much more. The Presto tablet will deliver our guests a robust slate of offerings for not only transactions, but entertainment, social interaction and more, moving forward."
(For the best tablet insights, tips and apps, sign up for the free TabTimes Weekly Best newsletter)
A tablet designed for restaurants
E la Carte's Presto tablet features an all-day battery, illuminated credit card reader, and a ruggedized casing designed to withstand the inevitable spills and bumps of a restaurant environment.
The tablet is also equipped with Bluetooth, cameras and NFC (near field communication) chips that could be used as opportunities emerge for so-called mobile wallet and mobile phone interactions.
Currently, the tablets give guests the ability to pay at their table, add additional drinks, desserts and other menu items to their order and play a selection of games as well as have their receipt emailed. Over the next 18 months, enhanced functionality, such as video streaming, music, additional games, social media interaction with Applebee's Facebook community and personal pages and gift card sales will be added.
Last May E la Carte's founder and CEO Rajat Suri told TabTimes that while the Presto serves a very specific purpose, there is a lot of innovation in its design. At the time he said E la Carte was on its sixth generation of hardware. "It's a hard product to build," said Suri.
Backing from Intel
This past June, Silicon Valley-based E la Carte announced a $13.5 million funding round led by Intel Capital, the chip giant's venture capital arm.
Suri had predicted then that the company could have as many as 100,000 tablets at various restaurants by the end of this year.

The Bell 214 series of helicopters are based on improvements to the original UH-1. Iran influenced the development of the helicopter for use in that country where it would
often need to operate in high heat conditions. The major change from the base model was a much more powerful engine. The Bell 214 model A set a number of records for its class. It became a mainstay helicopter for the Iranian Army. Bell 214 model B water bombing.
The Bell 214 model B is the civil aviation version of the helicopter. It is visibly similar to the model A except for the addition of a window and door. In addition, the helicopter's avionics differed. Bell 214 model B helicopters equipped with a 720 gallon belly tank are used as water bombers.
The Bell 214 model C was developed for the Iranian Air Force to fly search-and-rescue missions. Over 440 Bell 214 helicopters of all types were built before production ended in 1981. Bell 214 by S-S-M Technik The S-S-M Technik Bell 214 fiberglass fuselage kit is 67" long, 20" high,

Exclusive: We Fly An Electric Airplane
Development of the E-Spyder has been ongoing since Peghiny first met Chinese entrepreneur Tian Yu in the spring of 2009 at an aviation trade show in Europe. Yu, the founder of Yuneec, has built a booming business producing tiny electric remote control helicopters and airplanes.
Yuneec aimed to build full-size aircraft and already had a two-seat electric airplane in the works. But Yu also wanted to build a single-seat electric ultralight. He thought the Flightstar Spyder that Peghiny first developed in the early 1980s was a good candidate for electrification.
The two reached a handshake agreement to build a prototype and Peghiny immediately started to think about how his ultralight design could be adapted for electric flight. The motor, battery and controller arrived in Connecticut from China shortly after that first meeting.
Peghiny worked long hours before and after work fabricating parts, designing the battery and building his first electric airplane. He's the president of Flight Design USA, the distributor for the CT series of light sport aircraft from Germany. I've known Peghiny for many years, primarily through his work with Flight Design. But his history in aviation goes back to even lighter aircraft including designing, building and flying hang gliders as a teenager, as well as a long history in the ultralight industry beginning in 1981.
To maximize performance, Peghiny knew he would have to make some changes to the Spyder. The original Spyder was designed to fly with a 35-horsepower, two-stroke gasoline engine. The Yuneec motor produces 20 kilowatts, or about 27 horsepower, so Peghiny knew he'd have to cut weight and minimize drag to maximize time aloft.
Working non-stop, Peghiny finished his first prototype in about five weeks. He made his inaugural flight the first flight of the first E-Spyder prototype just eight days before the big Airventure show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin last year.
"Oshkosh started on a Monday, we had to leave on a Thursday and it flew Sunday," he says of the crazy week before the plane's debut.
