Will this Slow Stick build "work"?
I am just getting back into RC after 15+ years. I have been doing alot of research and I am thinking about buying a Slow Stick. I ran across a thread where someone had put a LiPo battery and compatible ESC on it and gets 30 minute flight times as well as having TONS more power. So, I have been putting a "build" together but do not know anything about wattages, 20C, 400, etc, etc. I am hoping some of you "vets" out there can tell me if and how well this setup will work. Here we go: Slow Stick Kit http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHCJ2&P=ML ESC http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...KSY4&search=Go Prop http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...HHW8&search=Go Receiver and servos(already own a HiTec Laser 4) http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...NZC3&search=Go Battery http://www.hobby-lobby.com/thunderpower.htm Charger http://www.hobby-lobby.com/lipo_char..._2325_prd1.htm So here are my questions: Keeping in mind voltages, amp draw, wattages, etc, etc, will all of this stuff play nice together? Can I really expect 30 minute flight times(moderate throttle)? Anything else I should know about with this build? Thanks guys!!! |

I can guarantee you half hour flights with the 400C brushed motor the SS comes with, on 3s lipo. HOWEVER, you MUST use THESE props, otherwise you'll fry the motor on a 3S lipo. The problem with the props you posted is they're wide blade SF, or Slow Flyer style propellers, so there is more surface area on the blade that will grab the air, and increase amp draw. The 9x5HD props I posted have a less wide blade, and will draw less amps but give you lots of power.
Secondly, you cannot use that ESC you posted. It is a 3 wire brushless ESC, not a 2 wire brushed ESC you need. THIS is the ESC you need. If you try to use the Silver Series SS25 ESC, then all you will do is fry the ESC within seconds Also, there's no need to buy the expensive battery, and ultra low quality charger from Hobby Lobby. The chineese eqquipment can outperform that stuff easily, and at less than half the cost. Battery: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=9272 Charger: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=7028 I have 2 Accucel-6 chargers and they both work flawlessly. One I have had for almost a year and a half now, and it still works perfectly. BTW, you should use Deans Ultra connectors for the battery/ESC. Those low quality chineese connectors they include on the batteries above can't carry as much current as Deans Ultra connectors can, and the Deans won't melt, even at 100+ amps. |

Wow guys thanks SO much for your input!!
Now I have some bad news lol, I just discovered the Easy Star and the upgrades you can do to it. So now I'm trying to decide on which one to do... tricked out Slow Stick or tricked out Easy Star... Also, will this reciever/servo combo work with my build? Servo: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...?idProduct=662 Receiver: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=5206 |

That receiver though... Well, put it this way. I bought one, and it's the last GWS receiver I will ever buy. You're 1000000x better off with a Corona Synthesized receiver. |

Jbat, when I said 15+ years, I meant I'm getting back into the hobby after a 15+ year break. Back then, electric was available, but nowhere near the level it is today.
Xpress, thanks for the warning on the GWS receiver, I will avoid it. Will this receiver work with my Hitec 72mhz transmitter on channel 16? http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=5781 I still can't decide on an Easy Star or a Slow Stick. The Stick I can take to the park without anyone caring because it's slow and quiet. The Star on the other hand is larger, faster and loud, meaning I would have to go out in the middle of nowhere to fly it. The Star does look like more fun though. Ah... decisions decisions... |
Jan 06, 2010, 09:22 PM | |
Easy Star is a much faster plane...but if you were a solid pilot 15 years ago...that might be a better fit. You'll get tired of the Slow Stick much faster...if all you need is a refresher.
Xpress...good answers above. - Richard *** Heck...if you were in my area, I would let you fly it for 5 or 6 packs and get it out of your system...then get yourself more agile plane. I use mine for training kids to fly. |
Jan 06, 2010, 09:47 PM | ||
Ah I sincerely apologize. As you can see i'm a pretty loose cannon haha. The easy star vs slow stick is a interesting comparison. As for noise, screw it, its your park to be in too, and there both electric. If some guy told me I couldn't fly because of noise, I would go out and buy a nitro to get him angry. Also, noise is nice, gives it more plane like quality's, and you will notice little kids watching in amazement, and some adults too. The slow stick will have a little longer battery, more calm easy fly. Nice early mornings when sun is rising. It is also easier to mod yourself if thats your main concern. Easy star will handle wind much better. Again as said previously it is faster. It will take much more of a beating, and you could easily fly it in a moderate sized park with no difficulty. If you are into foam building and that stuff mods will be easy and it is not hard to incorporate cameras and such in it. I say if your looking for a nice and easy 3 channel plane, you might want to look into the firebird series. I will get flak for this, since many ahte firebird planes for reasons unknown to me, but hear me out. I have only had good experiences with them. The phantom is a nice little plane. For 60$ it is an amazing 3 channel plane. It has power, and will do simple acrobatics easily. Keep it in your car and fly it out side of your office or anywhere. If you crash it, the whole plane to replace is only 30 bucks, and you need to destroy the board to make it require total body replacement. Wings are rubber band on, and there 5$ at my lhs. Some say it takes damage like a girl, but i disagree, and of course any super super big crash landing will break it, as well as any other plane. If your looking into something bigger, take a look at the freedom or the aerobird 3. Freedom is a huge version of the phantom, big motor, 3 channel, $130. Aerobird costs the same here, is a little smaller, imo looks cooler, and has much much more power. All firebird series are replaceable for cheap again, all of those can use xport mods (air combat, drop module, lights). they fly for a good 10-15 min on the little stock batteries. They can take hard landing well, and since they have glider like shape and a v tail they glide really really nice. I use to use my aerobird as a slope glider. Fly up high, then kill the throttle and glide down. As Carlton said, maybe you want to get a cheaper plane, like a phantom, get it out of your system, the get something like a park zone Trojan t28. All of those planes get easy quick, and something faster will keep you on your toes much longer. If your in it for learning to get to bigger planes, go to a local club, and try to find a gutsy mentor/ expert who's not afraid to put you up on a bottom wing or 3d plane on buddy box. The Mcx and Msr helis will make your stick control go through the roof, more specifically the Msr, so if you need stick control, try one of those. And finally, if you are planning on getting into the hobby to stay, I would recommend a spektrum remote. No interference, long range, easy to use and program, and you can save up to $70 on some planes that are bnf. Anyway those are my 2 cents, and again I sincerely apologize. Any questions feel free to post, message, or send me an email. |

Jbat, no worries buddy, I appreciate the apology.
I think I have decided that I'm going to go brushless. It's just too much of a pain trying to find a good cheap brushed ESC. Plus brushless is better in every way so why not right? So heres my current build: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=2112 motor http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...?idProduct=662 servos http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=5781 receiver http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=7028 charger http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=2163 esc Can someone recommend which Zippy battery I should use with this build? Also, with this setup, what length/pitch prop should I run? Can someone verify if that receiver will work with my Hitec Laser 4 72mhz transmitter on channel 16? And would someone mind explaining what mah and "c" means and how it relates to the prop pitch and motor? Thanks! |
Jan 06, 2010, 11:28 PM | |
$35 for a brushed ESC isn't cheap??? How about THIS $5 one?
Plus you're buying all from the same place anyways. BTW, I've yet to see a lightweight brushless system go for 30minutes-hour and have the power to tote around even a small camera for AV Yes, the Corona receiver you chose should work fine. It's synthesized, so one button channel set "C" rating refers to the batteries ability to discharge. It basically tells you how many amps the battery can deliver safely. To figure out the amps it can deliver, you take the packs C rating and multiply it by the packs MAH rating, or C x MAH = amps. So, if your motor dras, say 20 amps, then you will want to find a pack capable of delivering 20 amps continuous, or in this case a 1000 mah 20C pack (20C x 1000MAH = 20 amps ). |

Ah thanks for clearing that up Xpress. One thing I just found out is HobbyCity ships from HK and that doesn't sit well with me. I'm always hesistant about buying things overseas. I have read that their battery packs have a bad reputation of "puffing" and the Turnigy and Hextronik brands are their inhouse stuff. I don't want to buy any cheap crap, you know?
I'm in the process of putting together a new build from Tower, I will post it soon. And you think I should stick with the brushed setup? |

I put a 11.1v 1350mah thunderpower on my slo-v with a 28-30-950 rimfire and the thing hauls. I love it, it will still fly slow but will get 200' to 300' in seconds! It does rolls and inverted loops no problem. I get very long flight times and it flys very nice, smooth and solid. I should probably upgrade planes but I have way too much fun with this plane. I flew it for over 4 years stock and since I've upgraded it, it is way better than it used to be. It's way overpowered, but I like it that way. I just wanted to see if a slow flyer could do some extreme acrobatics and so far this slo-v is doing some crazy stuff I never thought it would be capable of doing. I always look forward to flying it again!

Comments about M7R:
I have been buying LED Lensor flashlights for years. One was stolen. One, my German Shepherd buried in the yard (which i found later, and it amazingly still worked, but was weathered so i gave it away). Third one, i have, still works, but got tired of buying batteries. I don't write reviews... ever. so that should tell you something. But this M7R.... there is no better flashlight in the world.

Comments about M7R:
I use my M7R for my security job. There are a lot of program options, but I chose a simple one: clicking the button gives regular bright light, and touching the button turns on the 'tactical defense strobe'. The other programs seemed too complicated for the quick use I need.
I want a brighter flashlight, but I chose 400 lumens and that's what it delivers. It's nice and small but still has a little heft to it, the clip works great, and the beam focuses nicely when you adjust the head. And the most important and most handy feature is that it is rechargeable! No spending a fortune on batteries. This flashlight is totally worth it. I will definitely (and already have) recommend this flashlight to my friends and coworkers.

Comments about M7R:
First and foremost… Led Lenser flash lights are a staple in my life, at home, at play but most importantly at work. I purchased my first Led Lenser, a M7R in Witbank South Africa for use while working in the aging and dimly lit power plants scattered across the country. Over the years I have used literally hundreds of lights from various manufactures and NONE compare to the Led Lensers. Most folks in my industry rely on two lights in particular, the Pelicans and Stream Lights, more on the later of the two mentioned, both good lights. Back in the day the trusty Mag Lights were standard issue and as the newer lighter more compact and brighter lights started coming on the market Mag Lights quickly lost their "shine".
I personally consider my Led Lensers to be a standard issue requirement and an everyday part of my PPE – Personal Protective Equipment while on the job. I seldom go into the field without two of them with me – one for me and one for the guy I will most likely come across that either doesn't have a flashlight or has a crummy light that is more a source of aggravation than an asset.
My professional requirements in a flash light are simple:
1. Rechargeable – I don't want to change batteries or have to disassemble my light every 8 – 12 hours to change batteries or have to remove a rechargeable battery due to a thoughtless design.
2. Durability - I have dropped a X7R 35 meters to the concrete below and it still works perfectly to this day.
3. Compact and BRIGHT – consistently bright for the duration of battery life.
4. Light Weight – a three cell D-size gets heavy towards the end of a 12 hour shift.
5. Weather Proof – able to stand up to wet dirty environments.
I leave my floating charger plugged into my docking station for my laptop right on my desk, the system is the absolute best I have come across on the market today – I want to stress this point, the convenience is unmatched.
I currently own and have extensively field tested the following Led Lenser models:
• Three M7R's (my personal favorites)
• Two M7RX's
• Three X7R's
• One P5R
ZERO failures.

New Battlefield 4 patch launches on PCWith future DLC on hold, DICE have been busy trying to fix the many issues that Battlefield 4 has been suffering from since its launch. Part of that effort has been reflected in their latest PC patch, which aims to fix a whole bunch of things. Chief among them is to alleviate a frequent client crash (those are never fun) along with several stability adjustments. DICE have also addressed a Defuse bug where the defending team could win a round without actually defusing the bomb, provided that the bomb had been disarmed in the previous round -- seriously, how did that come about in the first place? Here are the patch notes:

FORT DIX, N.J., May 4— As relief workers in Macedonia took the final steps toward sending some 400 Kosovar Albanian refugees to the United States today, parishioners at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Willingboro, N.J., put together ''shoe box ministries'' -- boxes stuffed with shampoo, toothbrushes and other essentials that people uprooted from their homes would most likely miss.
Here at Fort Dix, a nearby Army base that was established during World War I, the mess hall was being outfitted as a medical station, while a team of budget analysts turned off their computers to parcel out linens and towels in the newly cleaned dormitories. Soldiers trained to fire heavy weapons were instead assembling bassinets and bicycles.
''We're doing whatever it takes to make the kids happy,'' said Pvt. Joshua Bennett, 18, as he put together an indoor basketball game.
Wednesday afternoon, the first 400 of about 20,000 Kosovar Albanian refugees that the United States has agreed to shelter are expected to arrive on a charter plane at nearby McGuire Air Force Base, where they will be greeted by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Gov. Christine Todd Whitman. A second planeload of 400 or so refugees is expected to arrive Friday.
The newcomers will be mostly women and children whose families have been decimated by the Serbian campaign to redraw the ethnic map of Kosovo through violence.
For the most part, the families arriving here will not have relatives in the United States, and will encounter an array of Government and nonprofit agencies, including the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Health and Human Services and the private Immigration and Refugee Services of America.
They will remain at the base for three to six weeks, and eventually be resettled in communities throughout the United States.
On Saturday, an additional 300 Albanian refugees will fly into Kennedy International Airport. But these have relatives in the United States who have agreed to take them in and who are expected to welcome them at the airport.
Those coming here to Fort Dix will be sheltered in barracks previously used for reservists during their annual training. Contractors have been reconfiguring the rooms to house families of varying sizes. Bilingual signs have gone up, and buildings that had been quiet were bustling today with final preparations.
In the early 1990's, as the Department of Defense began closing bases around the country, the community here fought to keep McGuire Air Force Base open. It succeeded, but operations were scaled back. In 1995, the Army stopped using Fort Dix for basic training, and laid off many civilian employees.
Marie Anna Hinkle, 62, was one of them. Back at work today, she wore bright yellow plastic gloves as she cleaned the corridors for the newcomers, but until 1995, she had worked in the mess hall.
''I might start working there again, because I know all sides of the mess hall operation,'' she said.
Ms. Hinkle came to the United States herself as a refugee in 1946, after World War II. She had been expelled from the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia that Germany had invaded in Hitler's first expansionist drive.
Seeing the refugees from Kosovo now, she said, ''brings memories.'' Her own family left its home practically penniless, and came to the United States along with 3,000 or so other refugees, she said.
''I was a child, and didn't understand,'' she said. ''Now, I do, and I help.''
Joszef Farago, the Mayor of Wrightstown, sandwiched between Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base, also understands. He fled Hungary in 1956, when expectations of freedom were crushed by Russian tanks. Mr. Farago, then 17, fled to Austria, along with 160,000 other Hungarians in a two-week period.
''We overwhelmed the Austrians, just like the Kosovar Albanians are doing to the Macedonians now,'' he said.
Two days later, he found himself at a refugee camp in Italy. With no family willing to sponsor him. Mayor Farago entered a program that allowed foreigners to become American citizens after serving in the United States Army for five years, he said. He stayed in the armedforces for 20 years, serving first in Korea and Vietnam, and then as a drill sergeant at Fort Dix.
''History is basically repeating itself,'' he said, recalling his flight from Hungary. ''Except we didn't get beat up and our homes didn't get burned. Ethnic cleansing wasn't in our vocabulary then.''
He finds it depressing, he said, that Europe is ending the century locked in another war over ''religion and real estate.''
''It never solved anything,'' he said.
The Mayor has been fielding calls from people who want to lend a hand to the refugees. Though the military has been keeping private offers of help at a distance, preferring to route them through the New Jersey National Guard, Mr. Farago is encouraging the support. He has received offers of clothing, food and money; one woman volunteered to work in the nursery watching the children.
''These are true givers, really,'' he said. ''Maybe they can't make a monetary contribution, but they're giving what they can.''
Mayor Farago bears no pretensions about Wrightstown, where the Borough Hall is a trailer and the houses have no upstairs.
''We're not an esthetically uplifting community,'' he said. ''But what we do have, we're proud of, and we're willing to share.''
Photos: Barracks that usually house reservists during training at Fort Dix are to be used by refugees who do not have sponsors in the United States. Officials of the Immigration and Naturalization Service prepared yesterday for the arrival of refugees at Fort Dix. About 400 Kosovar Albanians are to land tomorrow at nearby McGuire Air Force Base.

The style and verve of one of South America's most beautiful capitals is the focus of this episode that highlights Argentina's national dance, the tango, as well as the energy that its diverse population brings to the urban landscape. The HD lens brings to the fore the graceful and classic architecture of Buenos Aires, exemplified by the San Telmo neighborhood whose Sunday market is traditionally closed at sunset by an impromptu street band that marches through the streets, collecting dancers and revelers with its insistent drumbeats. At local tango parlors called milongas, Buenos Aires residents, known as portenos, lend an air of authenticity to the dance that grew up in the working class neighborhoods of the city. D

Nude and Blush Wedding Dresses – New Neutrals in the Spring 2015 Bridal Collection from Watters
May 1, 2014 | christine
Blush and nude are everywhere in today's bridal scene. Quickly becoming the new go-to neutral color palette, these shades are much softer than a traditional white or ivory while still evoking that bridal feel. Blush wedding dresses have been on the scene for several seasons, but we are seeing more and more shades of nude layered with white and ivory lace. The result: ultra sexy and totally chic. The new designs from Watters really celebrate these two trends beautifully.

This is a demo of my hentai 'game' featuring Liru the werewolf from Magical Pokaan.
Please don't make posts simply complaining that it is a demo. I'm sorry that it's not the full version, but HentaiKey do not allow me to post that here. It's either a demo or nothing. I put as many full toons on here as I can. Not all my submissions are demos, so please check those out too.
I hope you enjoy.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
your best game work!!!!!!
this was the best hentai game on newgrounds ever. thats all. no arguments.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I'm not even into furry, but then again everyone is ambiguously furry for Liru :).
This demo rocks, too bad Hentai Key keeps it only a demo
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I loved the demo, and I Really wish you would upload the full version of this which someone already did, it would be nice to see some of hentai key's full interactive work up on new ground's the graphics were amazing, and better yet it was Liru! Liru is the leet pwnage, as she is one of the few furre girl's that normal people like ha ha. anyways Ten on graphics. Liru looked awesome as did her fuck friend. 10 on style as well...It was Liru! Everyone's furre for Liru!. 5 on sound, the moaning and stuff was nice, but a little repetitive. 0 violence and humor obviously. 10 on interactivity, hehe anal fucking Liru was fun! overall 10 I vote five on this!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
*pushs the Werewolf Guy away and takes his place.* God..I love these games!! the Girls are Freaking HOT!!!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Though not a furry fan I've always liked werewolf sex. Liked this almost as much as a vampire and tentacles. Good work.

A.M. Best Affirms Ratings Of Manulife Financial Corporation And Its Subsidiaries
A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength ratings (FSR) of A+ (Superior) and issuer credit ratings (ICR) of "aa-" of the life insurance subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC) (Toronto, Canada) (NYSE:MFC). Concurrently, A.M. Best has affirmed the ICR of "a-" as well as all existing debt ratings of MFC. The outlook for all ratings is stable. (See link below for a detailed listing of the companies and ratings.)
The rating affirmations reflect Manulife's favorable earnings in 2013 due to recent interest rate increases, adequate risk-adjusted capitalization relative to its current ratings level and strong market position in its core lines in North America and Asia. Recent de-risking initiatives have led to an increased focus on less capital intensive lines of business and should result in less volatility in reported earnings over time. This strategy favors growth in sales of mutual funds, wealth products and less interest sensitive protection products. MFC continues to maintain significant scale in its core business lines and has seen growing assets under management.
Over the last few years, MFC's various strategic actions have moderated the impact of the macro-economic challenges and equity market volatility on its consolidated risk profile and balance sheet. While the company is currently adequately hedged per its risk targets, recent changes in hedging strategies, product design and pricing look to improve profitability. Other strategic actions include curtailing or suspending the sales of capital intensive products, such as annuities in the United States (e.g., variable annuities and book value fixed deferred annuities).
Offsetting rating factors include MFC's significant in-force exposure to equity market and interest rate risk, particularly within its insurance segments. Despite the recent de-risking strategies, A.M. Best believes that MFC will continue to face challenges in managing its large book of in-force business given the continued historically low interest rate environment and global economic uncertainty.

BCBGMAXAZRIA Spring 2013 | Pictures
BCBGMAXAZRIA Spring 2013
If we told you leather, lace, and harnesses dominated BCBG's Spring 2013 collection, you might think designers Max and Lubov Azria were up to some sexy provocation, but when delivered via fluid silhouettes and with plenty of soft silk, the result was a dreamy mix of ethereal and utilitarian. Dresses dominated, most of them in silk crepe cut with cream or black lace, and all worn with a leather harness. Sounds weird, but it worked, and there are sure to be some street stylers sporting the trend next season. Show notes said the collection was inspired by the femme fatale muses and high contrast of Helmut Newton's black and white photography, a message that was felt in the sculptural cuts of a black crepe dress with strong shoulders. There was a quieter second story involving denim, which was used as a detail rather than the main fabric, but this didn't feel as compelling as the combination of leather and lace on a flowy dress.
- Trends: Leather harnesses, lace, sculptural proportions, jumpsuits.
- Colors: Black, coral, talc, dusty pink.
- Key Piece: The opening set of talc crepe shirt dresses with harnesses made a big statement.
- Accessories: Leather portfolios and perforated leather ankle-strap shoes.
- Who Should Wear It: You have to be brave to don the harness, and Zoe Saldana could definitely pull this off, but let's look for Selita Ebanks to don one of the dresses as she was sitting in the front row.

Association of Chinese Professionals
Association of Chinese Professionals (ACP) is a name for a number of not-for-profit organizations in United States of America, and potentially some local organizations in Australia, Europe and China. These organizations do not share any organizational relations or any hierarchical relations.
An organization was first registered in the state of New Jersey in the early 1992 under the name "Association of Chinese Professionals" (ACP) with a Chinese name "中华专业人士协会". At that time, the first wave of the students from Mainland China was graduating from graduate schools and entering into the American work force. Many of them felt the need for having means to get reconnected to their peers after leaving schools. A Ph. D. graduate from GoergeTech Mr. Wenming Kuai made the first call by sending an email for this organization. Later a mailing list on listserver at emailogy.com was requested by Kuai to enable communications between the members. Another Ph. D. working as a research faculty in University of Pennsylvania Mr. Linxiong Shao took the task to register the organization in the state of New Jersey. In the meanwhile, a Board of Trustees of twelve members and a Bylaws were created in accordance with the laws.
This organization grew rapidly, under competitions of other not-for-profit organizations of similar purpose, noticeably from the CAST (Chinese Association of Science and Technology) based in New York. A number of local activities were organized in ACP's headquarter the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan Area. A number of attempts were made to solicit sponsorship for the new born without fruitation. However, delegation from ACP was invited to participate and had contributed in numerous discussions with official delegations from China on topics of major concerns such as the industrial sectors the Chinese economy should first concentrate to develop. In the early 1993, the First National Assembly of Association of Chinese Professionals was held in Newark, Delaware.
There was a reason for the term "Chinese Professionals" (中华专业人士) to be chosen in the organization's name. At the time of its inception, a number of other not-for-profit organizations were being organized by these new Chinese immigrants, and in general all of the other organizations had been set up for a specialized field, such as practice of laws, chemical engineering, or general science and technology. In the case of ACP, its founding members included not only engineers and researchers, but also other professionals such as insurance agents. The name was then chosen to cover all walks of business, and it proved to be a wise choice.
Existing independent organizations[edit]
- "美国宾州-费城华人科技协会 Association of Chinese Professionals" is the not-for-profit organization registered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania United States of America.
- "亚特兰大中华专业人士协会 - Association of Chinese Professionals, Atlanta (ACP-Atlanta)" is the not-for-profit organization registered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America.
- "ACP Foundation 美中专业人士协会(ACP)" is the not-for-profit organization registered in Dallas, Texas, United States of America.
There are other organizations under the name "Chinese Professionals", including the followings:
- "华人青年协会 Chinese Young Professionals Networking (CYPN)" is a Massachusetts registered non-profit organization founded in 2010.
- "奥兰多中国专业人士协会 Orlando Chinese Professional Association (OCPA)" is a Florida registered non-profit organization founded in June 1995 by a group of dedicated and enthusiastic Chinese professionals in Orlando.
- "美国华人专业人士协会 American Association of Chinese Professionals (AACP)" is a California non-profit organization founded in 2007 by a group of dedicated and enthusiastic Chinese professionals.
- "加拿大中国专业人士协会 Chinese Professionals Association of Canada (CPAC)" is a federally registered not-for-profit organization founded in 1992.
- The original email that called for this organization from Kuai was available before sometime in 2008, but now it cannot be found. The initial discussion for this organization was communicated through the mailing list soc.culture.china on the Internet prior to the invention of HTTP protocol and the Mosaic browser. Another email that intended to clarify the purpose of the organization (which was initially called CPC, Chinese Professionals Club) sent on January 3, 1992 by Kuai can be found in Google cached pages.[1]
- So many organizations were registered by these Chinese immigrants at the time that once Professor Wen Yuankai (温元凯) with USTC (University of Science and Technology of China) had teased that "你们现在这里成立组织多得就跟当年文化大革命成立战斗队似的" in his speech to the Chinese students in University of Delaware. Most of these organizations were organized by the new graduates from engineering schools. A very small number of Chinese students in that era was studying liberal arts or business in USA.

Occupational Therapist Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in September 2010.
Spent alot of time interviewing on phone thru HR at first then thru department head. They sent me for fingerprints and a background check which I did the SAME day as talking to HR (THATS how much I wanted this per disk job. They wanted SIX references which I thought was overkill and totally unnecessary. They wanted me in "as soon as possible" for an interview, which I accommodates despite living out of state. I was group interviewed by 3-4 OT's and was grilled on questions about spinal cord injury, ventilator dependent patients and other serious condifions - ALL of which I aced. There was little/no follow up. I had to keep calling and was quite disappointed in how they handled the post-interview phase. I was more than qualified and at one point one of them said, "That was the best answer to that question we ever had"

Great for Gaming! Lora from Cleveland, OH– Verified Buyer This is a great chair. It's adjustable at the arms, back, and height. Being a huge computer gamer this chair allows for hours and hours of comfort. Also, the espresso color is not as "black" as it looks on this site. It's a perfect espresso color and goes perfectly with my espresso desk I got from Target for gaming. So it is truly espresso, not black as it looks on site. |

Heck no, get a .308 Win. too...............
When all else fails.
Honestly, IMO if you are talking strictly about capabilities, you could get rid of one of your current rifles and not miss it. The .308-.270-.300 all overlap in capability. The .300WSM may edge the other two out in max range, the .308 generally has the least expensive ammo but there is little or nothing practical you can do with one that can't be done with the other.
Well done kid
Thanks for all, the great feedback. The 300WSM with a Limb Saver is pretty workable. My hope is that the 270 Win will be a little tamer and an overall different shoot. Between the two I was hoping for a good mix, and it sounds like even with the overlap, I'll have that. The 270 is no wimpy little rifle, and the 300 is a bit more of a beast. I should be good to go. The 308 sounds like it would just be redundant in terms of shooting, so I'm glad to know I'm not missing out. Again, appreciate the feedback. I'll just tell my bud, that if I'm going to scope out mob bosses for rubbing out, I'm covered either way and the 308 won't give me any advantage over what I already have. And then I'll mention to him - "By the way, for hunting, same thing applies" That ought to shush him up. Happy shooting
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.

"Great service & assistance by the designer to ensure our cards looked amazing with special pictures front & back. Happy with the final product."
"I made a few changes to the design of this card, and it was everything I imagined it to be! The design team is awesome! The card is simple and classic!"
"The design process was a breeze and the layout requested and personalisation was dealt with really quickly. Love the wedding invites!!!"
"Beautiful, simplistic invitation if you want something classic and pretty without the bells and whistles. Perfect for my beach wedding. Be sure to use the "chat" feature for any questions you may have in designing the invite- these people know their stuff! Even if they don't have the answer right away, they find it for you! Very pleased with all my WPD purchases."
"I took advantage of WPD's 8 free samples and selected this one to be in purple and in the square shape. I had originally planned to go with another design, but this one took my breath away. The purple is the same color as my wedding colors so I didn't have to worry about customizing it. The designer was very helpful in giving me my completely customized back (instead of a photo, we put down more information for guests). My fiancé fell in love with the Pearl Shimmer paper which also came in our sample pack, and we love how it looks! Just received our order yesterday, very very pleased with the results!"

cray fish
Hey guys I was at my local river today and I saw alot alot of cray fish. It got me wondering, with the number of them I saw they have to be a food source for a big fish. So I was wondering if anyone has ever used a cray fish pattern for trout.
Re: cray fish
Crawdads are staples for big trout. At a certain size, trout will consider bugs a snack, whereas a crawdad will be a meal. One time I saw a guy gut out a Brown Trout after he gill hooked it. Inside its stomach were three crawdads.
The two patterns that I use the most are: Tim Haddon's Dead Drift Crayfish http://www.umpqua.com/sites/default/...awfish-med.jpg Anderson's Papi Chulo (Papi Chulo = Bad @ss daddy) http://www.dreamdriftflies.com/image...a%20Orange.jpg Dennis |
Re: cray fish
nice patterns dennis!
Re: cray fish
I've only ever tied one crayfish pattern and they were pretty realistic. I found the recipe for this in the September 1981 issue of Fly Fisherman Magazine and had no rest till I had tied so many that I still have a few that were not lost on the bottom of some pool too deep to wade.
[IMG]http://i542.photobucket.com/albums/g...f/098cf15b.jpg[/IMG] I made them with dyed hair too and drifted them like giant nymphs. I never caught what I would say was a huge fish on one but I caught some nice size trout and a few small mouth bass also. |
Re: cray fish
do you swing them, or strip them in like a bugger
Re: cray fish
In slower water, I will cast the "fly" upstream using a 200 grain integrated shooting head and strip the fly. I do not use this technique that often since most of the water that I fish is faster. Dennis |
Re: cray fish
Dennis, I'm with you on Tim's fly.
We mostly dead drift it with weight as well. When water temps reach a certain happy spot, the crays molt. Here...in Aug/Sept. When they do, their claws are light colored, and soft..... Biggies can eat larger crays at this time. Big meal, big fish. Tim's pattern is considered a seasonal-tye pattern based on that small observation. Which is why we tye. Places where fish don't see them much the takes are impressive, here due to home field pressures, they will still look at one, but often eat the little tidbit I sent with, instead. Small is safe. I liken a cray, to the "milk billboard", you have to look. Baby dads are a good pattern the rest of the year. Ralph Cutters pattern, "The Goblin" also works well thrown up-stream, above a pool, then stripped as fast as humanly possible down-stream. (Ralph's tip.) They can actually swim pretty fast when panicked. I recommend using a 1-2x leader, and a strip set. Hang on.... Local smallies snack on them too. Ard, killer pattern! Cool eyes. Jim |
Re: cray fish
I have had very good luck in the last couple of years using crawdad patterns for trout. I caught a rainbow last year that got me started using them. She was about 18" and while I was reviving her I noticed her sides were bulging and whatever she had eaten was pretty hard. The only thing I could come up with was that she had eaten at least two crawdads by the feel of it. I tied a few small ones to use with 4 wt rods and after some modifications came up with a pattern I'm happy with.
I tie them so the hook point is up using squirrel zonkers for the claws and a piece of foam tied to the shank of the hook, below the point. I cover the shank with dubbing, saddle hackle wrapped for legs, melted mono eyes and swiss straw for its shell back and tail with two lengths of rubber legs between the zonkers for antenna. With a dumbell weight tied on the opposite side of the hook near the eye, the foam makes it sit up at an angle like a crawdad defending itself when I pause after 3-4 shorts strips. Nothing too original but they work! |
Re: cray fish
Everything eats crayfish. My pattern.
http://www.theflyfishingforum.com/fo...-crayfish1.jpg The recipe is posted here on the forum. |

Do most of you guys weight your crayfish patterns?

Linda Hunt (born April 2, 1945) is an American film, stage and television actress. She is perhaps best known for her Academy Award-winning role in 1982's The Year of Living Dangerously.
Also a well known stage actress, Hunt has received two Obie awards and a Tony Award nomination for her theatre work. She created the role of Aunt Dan in Wallace Shawn's play Aunt Dan and Lemon. Recently, she portrayed Sister Aloysius in the Pasadena Playhouse production of John Patrick Shanley's Tony Award-winning play Doubt. Her television appearances include a recurring role as Judge Zoey Hiller on David E. Kelley's series The Practice.
Beside her acting abilities, Hunt is distinguished by her small stature (she is 4' 9" or 1.45 m), and her rich, resonant voice, which she has used effectively in numerous documentaries, cartoons, and commercials. She is the on-air host for City Arts & Lectures, a radio program recorded by KQED public radio. Hunt was chosen by Walt Disney Feature Animation to lend her enigmatic speaking and singing voice to Grandmother Willow in the film Pocahontas. Her voice work also includes the character of "Management" in the US TV series Carnivàle, and Gaia, who serves as the Narrator in the video games God of War and God of War II. She also narrates the introductory film at the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC.

We didn't reserve and still got a table on Sunday. The service is very fair. The food and drinks are in general tasty. To us occurred a peculiar thing: we ordered a duck and got a bird which looked no doubt like a duck but tasted (good) like a chicken :-)! Prices are not the lowest in the branch.
