F1 order set to remain unpredictable
By Matt Beer | Wednesday, September 9th 2009, 11:05 GMT |
McLaren's Pat Fry believes Formula 1 will continue to see big fluctuations in performance and unpredictable results into the 2010 season as teams have only scratched the surface of the current rules so far.
The 2009 season has been one of the most unpredictable in years, with Brawn and Red Bull taking turns at dominating early on, Ferrari and McLaren starting slowly before recovering ground, and Spa seeing a shock Force India, Toyota and BMW one-two-three in qualifying.
Fry, the chief engineer on this season's McLaren MP4-24, thinks it will be a long while before the field settles down into a more stable order, as this year's rule changes were so comprehensive teams are set to continue finding big steps with their packages.
"The level of performance gained in the season, historically a couple of years into a new set of rule changes, the development rate seems to level out," said Fry during the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Phone-in.
"I still think we're at a very, very early stage in terms of understanding what you can actually do within the current aero package. A lot of people were adapting the 'double' diffusers onto their cars rather than having designed them for it. So I'm sure there will be variations on that which might take a year or two to settle out.
"I think there will be a reasonably steep learning curve through into the middle of next year. A car can be good at one track and then the order can swap at the next."
He thinks the current tyre regulations are also playing a big part in shaking up the pecking order from race to race.
"We're relatively light on tyres so running a soft tyre in Hungary and Valencia, we could manage a long stint on that when other people couldn't," said Fry.
"If you get a bad day at Silverstone with a hard tyre in cold weather, no one would be able to get the tyres up to temperature, so that would swing in favour of the cars that are harsher on their tyres. As well as just aero development through the season, I think tyre choice is swinging the order around."
McLaren's own form has varied considerably during the 2009 season, with the team struggling to break out of Q1 in the early summer races but then taking a commanding victory with Lewis Hamilton at the Hungaroring and finishing on the podium in Valencia. But just a week later at Spa, Hamilton returned to the midfield as the team struggled for fast corner pace.
Fry is optimistic that McLaren's current development programme can address this issue before Suzuka - the next circuit on the schedule where fast corners are prevalent.
"Suzuka will certainly be interesting," he said. "I suppose if you look at our development throughout the year, it was obvious at the start of the year we were lacking an amount of downforce compared to the rest of the grid.
"In terms of ultimate downforce, at Spa and Monza you've got to have the efficiency. Suzuka is less about efficiency and more about the overall downforce, so it's a different set of challenges. We're still very good I think in low and medium speed corners. We still need to work, and we are working hard, on improving high speed cornering. This is obviously through aero research.
"The development that we're doing hopefully for Singapore and then onto Suzuka will see us make another step improvement from where we've been on high speed cornering."

Prime Pickings for ASP Survivors
Prime Pickings for ASP Survivors
Matthew Hicks
Posted 2001-04-30
Reading rumors of dot-com doom can pay off with easy pickings for competitors of ailing companies, as Mark Goldin learned in October.
Reading rumors of dot-com doom can pay off with easy pickings for competitors of ailing companies, as Mark Goldin learned in October. One of Goldins co-workers at application service provider Elite.com Inc., in Los Angeles, spread the news of competitor Red Gorillas falling fortunes. Both offered a Web-based time and expense application. Goldin, Elite.coms president, jumped at the chance to pluck new customers from his competitors ashes. "They were an annoyance to us, and we were wanting them to go out of business," said Goldin, who disliked that Red Gorilla offered a free service. "So we said, Why dont we get in touch with Red Gorilla and see if we can migrate people to Elite?" It almost worked, until Red Gorilla decided to turn to another ASP for help. Ironically, by December Red Gorillas erstwhile partner, after having trouble with the migration, was calling Elite.com to take over the former Red Gorilla customers. So far, Goldin estimates that Elite.com has added 1,000 new customers paying at least $9.95 per month per user.
It just goes to show: One ASPs failure can be anothers business opportunity. A range of ASPs have found new customers in the ruins of competitors, either by seeking out the stranded customers or striking deals with competitors.
Intranets.com Inc., of Woburn, Mass., gained about 11,000or 35 percentof the customers from failed competitor HotOffice.com Inc. after the companies worked out a deal when HotOffice.com closed in November. For enterprise-application ASPs such as Qwest Cyber Solutions LLC, of Denver, though, just any competitors customers wont do. While Qwest hasnt struck any deals with failed competitors, CEO John Charters does see an opportunity to reach out to customers from struggling ASPs. But for Qwest, the target will be Fortune 2000 companies or their divisions rather than startups or dot-coms. Qwest found one such match after the January demise of competitor HostLogic Inc., an ASP based in Boca Raton, Fla., that had hosted SAP AG enterprise resource planning software. The U.S. subsidiary of Belgium-based chemical processor Prayon Group turned to Qwest to host and manage the SAP software, which it will begin doing in May.
The interest for surviving ASPs, though, is more than just gaining more business. They also hope to prove to orphaned customers that the ASP model is viable and that strong providers remain. When BrassRing Systems, a division of BrassRing Inc., in Waltham, Mass., developed a transition for customers of failed human resources ASP competitor iSearch, it also emphasized the stability of its financial backing. "An ASP can be a risky bet," said Tom Kramer, BrassRings vice president of marketing. "Its still a good idea, but just be very certain that the company you pick is going to be there month after month and year after year."

I know that those who have OCD aren't just postpartum moms, but I have found that many moms have a flare up of OCD, sometimes severe, sometimes not & I thought for those who are comfortable talking about it, it would be a good topic to bring up. I've no doubt that there are many lurkers out there who could benefit from such a conversation.
I know I've briefly spoken about it in the past, and mentioned that I'm OCD in posts but I don't think I've ever spoken about it in depth, as up until now it's been something that I've found quite embarrassing & shameful, but in reading this book I feel like I need to set those emotions aside & talk about this, my hope is that if I can help just one person by this post it will be worth making myself feel vulnerable.
I've spoken with several moms via PM's who are suffering from it so I know it's not just me, & the selfish side of me finds comfort in this, but the compassionate side of me aches for all of the other moms who are dealing with postpartum OCD. Up until 5 or so months ago I had no idea that I was even OCD, and I know that the first week postpartum when my symptoms came rolling in like a ton of bricks, I had no idea what was wrong with me, all I knew was that my anxiety was through the roof and my mind was being flooded with horrible thoughts - it was by far one of the scariest times of my life, and the most upsetting. I found it horrible that I couldn't look at my baby w/out feeling fear, I couldn't hold him, or touch him without my mind being insulted with intrusive thoughts & I had no idea how to get rid of them, because I had no idea WHY I was even having them in the first place. I can say though, that now at 9 months postpartum I am doing so much better, I have my moments still but having the knowledge of what is going on with me has helped calm the waves.
I'm currently reading a book by Bruce M. Hyman, Ph.D. & Cherry Pedrick, RN called The OCD Workbook 2nd edition. I've found it to be extremely fascinating & it's given me insight into the type of OCD that I'm currently dealing with, which is called "Pure-O" or Pure Obsession OCD which consists of intrusive thoughts & anxiety (sometimes extreme). I also teeter on the edge of being a "orderer" where I have to have things in perfect order, or it causes anxiety. What I found interesting was that as I was reading the book, it triggered memories from when I was a child & teen and in doing so I realized that I've been OCD since a young age, I'm not sure at which age it was triggered I've certain ideas as to when, but no real solid memory. The other interesting thing that I learned was that if you do have it as a child, it can go in remission and then triggered (relapse) in adulthood, in my case it was this last pregnancy & birth. I found it interesting how it said that eating disorders like bulemia and anorexia is linked to OCD, I was bulemic for much of my teenage years. It also spoke about your OCD changing "faces" in that you can go from being a "Pure-O" to a "checker" or "washer" - that it's not always a consistent "type" of OCD & often times you have a mixture of several, usually having a dominant "kind" and several very mild kinds, although this isn't always the case.
I've found a lot of hope in reading this book, the idea that I can live in peace with these thoughts is comforting, and that when I do have a little flare up I'll have to tools to deal with it. The other part of me is upset & scared at the fact that I will always have OCD, it's something I will always struggle with, but I also know that I'm strong enough to do it & that through fear, through the trials it will bring me, I have the choice to become stronger or weak. To play victim or conqueror, I hope I have the courage to always choose the road of strength.
I also sat down tonight & spoken with my dh about this, sharing with him what I've learned in the book. I've decided that I'm going to seek a therapist who is experienced with OCD and who is trained to do Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, the entire idea (really) scares me because I know I'll have to face some pretty ugly thoughts & fears, but my hope is that I can learn some invaluable tools that will teach me how to deal with my OCD better, especially when I have lapses. My other fear is that I will be unable to find a doctor who will not push medications on me, I know that they have and do help many many people, part of me is jealous about that b/c I would love to help that it brings some people - but with my last experience with Zoloft it was just FAR too scary to visit again, it would have to take some mighty (and I mean mighty) convicing to get me to go that route again & chances are I wont until I'm 100% finished having bio kids.
Anyhow. This has become quite lengthy! If you've made it this far I hand you lots and lots of kuddos lol I would also like to share some online resources that were given in the book, hopefully they'll help someone.
There are also a ton of OCD books listed, if anyone is interested I can list those too.

OCD BOOK on Pure-O
And I wanted to share. When I first got pg, actually in the early mornings of the day I got my bfp (ad 7dpo no less! LOL) I had a horrible OCD episode with the anxiety/panic attack feelings to boot. Scared the life out of me and I thought oh nooo, if it's starting up this early into the pregnancy I am DOOMED. So I started getting proactive again with how well I took care of myself, and decided to start reading up again on OCD.
Well in doing so I decided to go through the links again, in the sticky post at the top of this page, as I did I came across a book called The Imp of the Mind, it's on the type of OCD I have which is called Pure-O or basically it's bad thoughts that run amock & cause huge amounts of anxiety or panic attacks, yea, not fun.
So I picked up this book, as well as another called Brain lock. I read Imp of the Mind in less than 3 days & was SO comforted by it! It gave me hope that when I do have my OCD episodes that I'll be okay, and ways to treat it without medications b/c med's don't seem to help much with this type of OCD, or if they do the amounts have to be rather large and it still doesn't keep the thoughts out, just takes the edge off.
Anyhow I thought it was an excellent book, it gets a lot of good stars on Amazon.com. I wish I had known about it when I was in my early ppd days with Seamus, so I thought I'd recommend it here incase anyone else is plagued with this annoying disease. Another thing I found interesting is they said this type of OCD is the most common, and I believe even more common than diseases like diabetes I didn't finish Brain Lock, I got through the first 30 or so pages & realised it wasn't going to help me as it had more to do with the other types of OCD, like washing, checking and so on but it too gets good reviews so for those who deal with that type of OCD it might be worth picking up.
Thanks for sharing all of that
Traveling life's highway with my love and partner, Bruce,
and Snacky, my sunshine boy.
Sweet angels in our hearts 6/09 & 9/10. I will always carry you.
Chimmy~I can really appreciate that you had the guts to post your OCD feelings. Being OCD myself it is humiliating for me to discuss. I have not read the book that you are talking about but I would be very interested in finding it. My OCD manifests itself in several ways; the most embarrassing for me is the counting. I hate that I can't function in normal life without counting. My DH is very supportive and he can always tell when I am having a bad day because he will notice that I am counting in my mind. I also have irrational fears that are very much because of my OCD. It is an awful disorder but I hope that anyone that is dealing with it can find comfort that they are not alone.
It really is/can be humiliating, I count too and like you when I get stressed or over worked it's like my brain put's up a "on vacation" sign & I start counting things in my mind. What I find the most humiliating is the pure-o obsessions, I really struggle with them.
My dh is really supportive too, I think it helps espeically when my anxiety is heightened.
I am not true OCD but I have generalised anxiety disorder and have suffered from mania in the past. It is really tough, in fact these post partnum feeling remind a lot of my mania. The way I just get obbsessive like my mania made me. Also I am a magical thinker, this means I feel like if I think something, then it is true. Like if I think something terrible will happen it will happen. I have found cognitive behaviour therapy very helpful, no it is not easy but it has helped me. I undrestand those feelings of anger that this is something you will always have to deal with. I had trouble with that when my therapist told me that I would always have tp deal with my anxiety. I think this why I am having a hard time coming to terms with these post partnum issues, I just did not want to go back to the bad places in my mind, I wanted to be done with that. A book that really helped me is linked to at the bottom. It also deals with OCD.
I'm going to make this a "Sticky" Chimmy.
Thanks for starting this thread. I admire all that you've accomplished so far. I am inspired by your determination to cope w/ OCD naturally. Thank you for sharing your journey w/ us. You never cease to amaze me! (And, I'm sure you're helping so many other women out there that we don't even *see*!)
Oh wow, I was suprised to see this as a sticky! lol Your so sweet Margaret - you've become such a good friend, I really appreciate all of the support and encouragement you've given me over these last 9 months, not sure what I would of done without this board!
Drake ~ it's good to ear that the CBT worked for you, that's encouraging to hear Right now, everytime I think about it I get really anxious - which obviously means I need it but oye! This is hard.
wow thanks Chimmy, what great resources

Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) Author Posts April 27, 2011 at 10:03 pm #117767 Anonymous 2897 Posts Personally, I think Eric Martsolf was miscast and should have been cast as Eric Brady rather than Brady Black. But since that's not an option, how would you feel about the former Brady, Kyle Lowder, as Eric Brady? Eric has history with Nicole. In fact, Nicole wouldn't even be on this show were it not for Eric. We already know Kyle and Arianne, real-life husband and wife, have chemistry from the first go-round of Bricole. Plus, Kyle looks similar to Alison Sweeney, which is important considering Eric and Sami are twins. What do you think, would Kyle Lowder work as Eric? April 27, 2011 at 10:06 pm #405821 alstonboy4315 853 Posts I think that Kyle looks younger than Allison Sweeney. If they are going to have someone play Eric, I think it should be someone who looks around the same age as Allison does. I think he looks too young to be her twin, personally. Just my opinion. But I don't watch much DAYS these days, so I probably shouldn't even be commenting. April 27, 2011 at 11:38 pm #405840 Anonymous 2897 Posts Pfft, Days doesn't care about proper ages! Brady looks a good 5-10 years older than his "older" step-sibling Sami! That's another reason why Eric Martsolf would've been a better Eric Brady recast. May 13, 2011 at 5:09 am #407899 SonnySprocket 56 Posts I never really enjoyed Kyle Lowder for some reason. I like Eric Martsolf much better. I wouldn't mind seeing Eric Brady return some day but maybe played by someone other than Kyle Lowder. Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Read MoreNBC on Thursday iced the competition with its first night of Winter Olympics coverage from Sochi, averaging 19.6 million viewers and a preliminary 5.8 rating among adults 18-49. Because the first night of competition was uncharacteristically scheduled before the Opening Ceremonies, event-to-event comparisons may be a bit misleading. That said, on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010, during the premiere night of activities during the Vancouver Games , NBC delivered 26.2 million live-plus-same-day viewers and a 7.6 in the dollar demo. At the risk of making any apples-to-hand grenades comparisons, last night's Sochi coverage was down 24 percent versus the relative night four years ago. As fast national data is culled from 56 metered markets, representing roughly 70 percent of all U.S. households, the live-same-day numbers for Thursday night are likely to change. Upon adjustment, the bonus night of figure skating, snowboarding and freestyle skiing should come close to meeting NBC's ratings guarantees for its entire 18-night package. Preliminary data pegs the network's average household rating at an 11.8. Among the top local markets tuned in last night were: Minneapolis, (17.7 rating/29 share); Indianapolis (17.0/28); Kansas City (16.1/25); Denver (15.5/25) and Oklahoma City (15.3/22). The Opening Ceremonies begin tonight at 7:30 p.m. EST and will run until roughly 11:30 p.m. After the local news, NBC will air the final episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Read MoreIt's an early January afternoon on the Upper West Side, just days after the Earth began heaving itself along on yet another elliptical voyage around the sun, and a polar vortex has stupefied New York with an interstellar chill. With about two hours of daylight left, sinuses are rimed with hoarfrost, the bare pate of the guy manning the lone hot dog cart is steaming, and the exhaust from passing cars looks as substantial as batting wool. From outside the main entrance to the Rose Center for Earth and Space on Manhattan's West 81st Street, the great sphere of the Hayden Planetarium looms in its glass case like a scale model of the ice planet Hoth. Three stories above the northern axis of the planetarium, in an office that practically twinkles with the light from thousands of man-made stars (even his vest is festooned with flickering suns), Neil deGrasse Tyson is launching into what comic books might refer to as his "origin story." As it so happens, the astrophysicist and host of Fox's upcoming revival of storied PBS documentary series Cosmos got his first taste of the universe under the dome of the original Hayden Planetarium's Sky Theater. "When you're a New Yorker, there is no night sky," he says. "You'll see the moon, maybe a planet or two, but there's no relationship with the night sky. So, I saw my first night sky at age 9 at the Hayden Planetarium. And it was so compelling and so much of a kind of mental baptism that I thought it was a hoax. But that was it—that was the night the universe chose me to study it." Years in the making, Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey represents the kind of investment in science programming that hasn't been a fixture of broadcast television since Carl Sagan brought metaphysics to the masses with the original Cosmos 34 years ago. Subtitled A Personal Journey, Sagan's 13-part odyssey made abstruse concepts like black holes, wormholes and dark matter accessible to viewers who didn't necessarily have an alphabet-soup jumble of academic abbreviations dangling from their surnames like so many comet tails. That Tyson was tapped to present the new Cosmos series is particularly apt, given his peripheral association with Sagan. As a 17-year-old student at Bronx Science, a college-bound Tyson was invited to meet Sagan at his laboratory at Cornell University. The visit made quite an impression on the budding scientist, and while ultimately he chose Harvard over the upstate New York Ivy, Tyson says the courtesy extended to him by Sagan wasn't something he took lightly. "I said to myself that if I were ever as remotely influential as he was, I would treat students the way he treated me," Tyson says. "With very high respect and regard for their ambitions." Cosmos co-executive producer Seth MacFarlane says Tyson is the perfect host for the new series, being "the rare communicator who has the ability to talk to both sides of the room." A space enthusiast since childhood, the Family Guy creator met Tyson through the Science & Entertainment Exchange, an initiative designed to encourage the development of more accurate scientific content in TV and film. (Tyson is seriously hyper-vigilant when quarantining science fact from science fiction. He good-naturedly tweaked Jon Stewart at the end of a 2012 appearance on The Daily Show by informing him that his "Earth is spinning in the wrong direction" in the opening credits. More recently, he took to Twitter to pick apart some of the sloppier gaffes in Gravity, a film he otherwise quite enjoyed.) Ann Druyan agrees with MacFarlane's assessment, commenting that Tyson appears poised to continue the mission Sagan began so many years ago. A co-executive producer and writer of the new Cosmos, Druyan also wrote the PBS series with Sagan, her husband from 1981 until his death in 1996

All-rounder Wes Durston discusses Derbyshire's new intense - but rewarding - training regime and looks ahead to the Club's pre-season tour of Abu Dhabi in his latest Player Blog.
So January has gone and we are now only two months away from the first competitive game of the season at the County Ground.
January has quickly flown by thanks to the intense training regime. It's been hard but certainly awarding for all. It's hard to think that we were introduced to Graham Welch, our new Elite Cricket Performance Director, only four weeks ago.
The atmosphere around the ground has been very positive, mainly due to the fact that everybody is training very hard both in fitness and their technical game, and we're all looking forward to the fast approaching 2014 season.
We've also started our high-intensity fielding practices, with the help of new Fielding Coach Cookie Patel. We began with a very intense week of 7am starts. Each day we focused on a different aspect of fielding and over the week we managed to cover short, medium and longer catches, diving catches, pick-ups and throwing techniques - and some specialist work for the wicketkeepers too – so overall it was a very beneficial five-day block.
Chairman Chris Grant says the new elite cricket coaching team will help Derbyshire become a force in domestic cricket.
The Club added John Sadler, Ant Botha, Simon Guy and Cookie Patel to its backroom team this week to support Elite Cricket Performance Director Graeme Welch.
Stephen Stubbings and AJ Harris, meanwhile, have both also been retained as part of the new structure.
Grant says this unprecedented investment in coaching will give Derbyshire the best chance of fulfilling its ambition for sustainable success across all three domestic competitions.
He said: "I'm confident that the elite coaching team we have assembled to support Graeme will, for the first time, give Derbyshire a genuine chance of becoming a force in domestic cricket.
Graeme Welch has thanked Members for their support after Derbyshire saw Membership soar by over 36% during the last seven days.
Supporters responded in impressive numbers to recent rallying calls with over 230 Adult Members joining during the last week alone – 24 of which were new Members. In total, 54 new Members have joined for 2014.
This means the current Membership revenue is up 84% compared to the same date in 2012. The Club has now also attained almost 80% of its overall 2014 Membership budget, ahead of the 2013 budget on the corresponding date last year.
An additional 16 members, meanwhile, on top of the 88 from last year have become Ambassadors and received £50 cash back by recruiting new Members on behalf of the Club.
The surge in Membership numbers follows a recent rallying call to make a pre-season tour of Abu Dhabi possible and the buzz created by the appointment Welch and the subsequent implementation of an Elite Cricket Performance culture.
Graeme Welch says Derbyshire's new coaching setup signals the Club's long-term ambition.
The Club has added John Sadler, Simon Guy, Cookie Patel and Ant Botha to its backroom team as investment in coaching increases to unprecedented levels.
Existing coaches Stephen Stubbings and AJ Harris are also retained having successfully emerged from a rigorous recruitment process.
The new structure ensures an elite performance coaching resource in each of the key disciplines; batting, seam bowling, spin bowling, fielding and wicket-keeping.
All the coaching team will play a major part in professional squad coaching as well as lending their expertise to home-grown cricketers aiming to breakthrough into the first-class game from the Academy and County Age Groups.
Graeme Welch, the Elite Cricket Performance Director, will lead on seam bowling and will be supported by Harris, who will also have a special focus on Academy development.

Derbyshire legend and former England Selector Geoff Miller OBE will be the guest speaker at Derbyshire County Cricket Club's Players' Luncheon.
The players are committed to finding funds for their pre-season tour of Abu Dhabi that they have arranged their own fundraising event, Players' Luncheon, on Wednesday 5th March in the County Ground Marquee; 12 noon arrival for 12.30pm start.
Chesterfield-born Miller, who is one of the best after dinner speakers around, will provide the lunch time entertainment. The former England international played 254 first-class matches for Derbyshire between 1973 and 1990 and was an integral member of the 1981 NatWest Trophy winning side.
Following his retirement, Miller has gone on to enjoy great success as a member of the ECB national selection panel. He oversaw England's rise to number one in both the Test and 50-over formats, as well as becoming World T20 champions in the Caribbean in 2010, before leaving his post earlier this year.

Graeme Welch says the tour to Abu Dhabi will provide the perfect backdrop for Derbyshire's final pre-season preparations.
The squad will fly to the United Arab Emirates on Friday 7th March and will spend nine days based at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium before returning on Sunday 16th March.
But doing the trip has highlighted the importance for Members and Business Partners to renew for 2014.
The Club is closing in on 150 Members joining the Club this week alone - one supporter has even made an anonymous donation of £100 towards the pre-season tour.
Welch said: "There seems to be a bit of a buzz around the Club. The lads are working hard and it's good to hear supporters are getting on board.

Derbyshire County Cricket Club will face the international quality of New Zealand as part of their first ever pre-season tour of Abu Dhabi.
The squad will fly to the United Arab Emirates on Friday 7th March and will spend nine days based at the state of the art Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium before returning on Sunday 16th March.
Following four consecutive visits to Barbados, Derbyshire were originally planning to spend their entire pre-season in the UK.
However, following the introduction of the new Elite Performance model, Elite Cricket Performance Director Graeme Welch and his team are keen to ensure they are ready to hit the ground running when the new season commences in April.
A recent review of cost management throughout the Club unlocked some additional funds to make the tour a possibility, but the support from supporters and local businesses has also helped bring the trip a little closer to reality.
Wayne Madsen says the backing of Members and supporters is vital if the Club is to achieve its ambition for sustainable on-field success.
Supporters have until this Friday, 31st January, to qualify for Early Bird Membership Prices with all categories including entry to every home match at less than £3.50 per day.
Further discounts are in place for students, senior citizens and those living more than 20 miles from the County Ground.
With the recent implementation of an Elite Cricket Performance structure – led by the appointment of Graeme Welch - Madsen says it's an exciting time to join the Club.
He said: "We're grateful for all the support we get from the local community, Members and supporters and we hope they can get behind us for what sets to be an exciting summer of cricket.

Hey buddy, absolutely the same here! I've got a lot of academic work over the next month but once all my exams are finished in mid Janurary (was going to buy two months ago but didn't have the time to build it to my proper standards so I'll wait to mid Jan. ). I'm buying one of these with the absolute best equipment: Kontronik ESC, Western Robotics BEC, Hacker A30-14L motor , Thunder Power 2250 4S 65C... and... Yes, four MKS DS95s . Whilst it will bring this plane to a near £700 (about $1100), I really want to kit this plane out super nice I'm just thinking whether it should be all DS95s or whether I should put an HS5085MG in the elevator. I remember SpaceBat giving a helpful reply on this saying it should be the 5085MG due to the moment and torque is a bit low on the DS95s on the elevator but they're considerably more powerful and faster than the 65MGs so it might be okay I don't know, I'll just have to wait and see I think though they will make the plane absolutely incredible! twice the speed, twice the torque, and more precise than the 65MGs should just be incredible! What do you think about the elevator?
Thanks |

I've had the 85 in two different EXP elevators with over 600 flights... That in itself tells you they are up for the task. Should probably send em in for service, but I figure why when they run just as good as new. They are still tight.

I put my new Motrolfly DM-3615 750kv in my Laser today, figured it should have some nice punch with a Xoar 14x7. The main concern was ending up nose heavy, the 3615 (lightweight) with cross mount and prop driver comes in at 190g whereas the DM-2820 it replaced weighs 172g. I moved the ESC back into the fuselage to offset the added weight and that seams to have done the trick.
I put 5 batteries through it and it didn't disappoint, incredible punch out of the hover and the big prop really helps with post stall control. All in all a recommended motor option providing you aren't using a battery any heavier than about 260g, if you do you might end up a bit nose heavy. |
Dec 08, 2012, 11:50 AM | ||
If you want super fast the SH-0257 is the one, and it still has a lot more torque that the HS-65MG and much faster (0.09s vs 0.13s) |

Excerpt from "The Plight of the Torpedo People" a New Bodysurfing Book from Keith Malloy
By John R.K. Clark
I always notice the sea birds when I'm out in the lineup, waiting for waves. On the south shore of Oahu, where I bodysurf most, I see manu o ku, or white terns, doing their aerial acrobatics. I see iwa, or great frigates, hovering almost motionless high above. But the birds that I really like to see are the kaupu — the brown boobies who fly fearlessly through crowds of surfers. Kaupu love to ride waves, and they get everyone's attention as they skim through the lineup, wings spread wide, surfing the air currents along the face of a breaking wave. Native Hawaiians called their flight kaha, or gliding, and this is the word they used for bodysurfing: kaha nalu, wave gliding. To me this is the essence of bodysurfing: gliding across the face of a wave. Bodysurfers are wave gliders whether they're making a death-defying drop at the Wedge, powering through a perfect barrel at Pipeline, or just cruising with their kids in the shorebreak at Makapuu.

- Bio
- Politically moderate, spiritually agnostic, I try to look at things objectively and find some semblance of the truth, before passing it on in blogs, in an articulate, yet vulgar manner. If you don't like it, don't read it. Or tell me why, in rational, well thought out arguments. I will try to be fair. I will try to be patient. I will try to be the voice of sanity in a sea of hipsters and art fags. Just look at my face. Do I look like I'm joking? Or like a someone with common sense, style, and gravitas? If I've learned only one thing after all these years, I'd probably be suffering from some kind of horrible learning impairment. Death to the New World Order!-----------------------------------------"Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom."
― Michael Ellner -----------------------------------
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government... The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, Speaking in June, 1991 meeting in Baden, Germany"----------------------------"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W. W. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson's fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis." Letter to Col. Edward Mandell House (21 November 1933); as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373

Diablo Cody's Dreaming Up a Baby
Apr 6, 2010 by Sarah C.
From a pregnant teenager to a possessed teenager, Diablo Cody's imagination has been making headlines in Hollywood (that's Juno and Jennifer's Body, in case you're wondering). This time, however, she's making headlines of her own. The screenwriter — whose real name is Brook Busey — recently confirmed via Twitter that she and her husband, Dan, are expecting. While waiting for their first baby to arrive, Cody has kept busy penning Showtime's United States of Tara.

Occupation | Doctor, lawyer |
John Rolph (March 4, 1793 – October 19, 1870) was a physician, lawyer and political figure in Upper Canada.
He was born at Thornbury, Gloucestershire, England in 1793, the son of a surgeon who settled at Vittoria in Norfolk County. Rolph remained in England, studying law at the Inner Temple in London. He arrived in Upper Canada during the War of 1812 and served as the paymaster for the London District militia. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge.[1]
In 1817, he resumed his education in England, studying law and medicine. He was called to the bar in England in 1821 and returned to Upper Canada in the same year and was also called to the bar there. In 1826, he became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and, in 1829, was licensed to practise medicine in Upper Canada. In 1824 he established the first medical school in Upper Canada with Dr Charles Duncombe in St. Thomas, under the patronage of Colonel Thomas Talbot.
Reform Politician[edit]
In 1824, he was elected to the 9th Parliament of Upper Canada to represent, along with John Matthews, Middlesex County. In politics, Rolph aligned himself with the Reformers. He supported allowing American-born settlers in Upper Canada being given all the rights of British subjects. He spoke for the separation of Church and State and against imprisonment for debt. In 1835, he helped found the Bank of the People and served as its first president.
In 1832, he moved to York (Toronto) and was elected to town council in 1834 representing St. Patrick's Ward. He resigned from council when he was passed over for the position of mayor. In February 1836, he was appointed to the Executive Council of Upper Canada by the new lieutenant governor Sir Francis Bond Head and he resigned the next month when the governor chose to ignore the opinions of the council.
He won a seat in the 13th Parliament of Upper Canada in 1836 representing Norfolk County, one of the few reformers elected to the legislative assembly in that year. Although Rolph was aware of the preparations for the Upper Canada Rebellion, he did not advise the authorities and he expected to be part of a new government if the rebellion had been successful. He advised the rebels to advance their time table when he learned that William Lyon Mackenzie was to be arrested. On December 5, with Robert Baldwin, he carried a message to the rebel leaders from the lieutenant governor under a flag of truce, advising them to return home. On December 6, fearing that his involvement would soon be discovered, he fled to the United States. He was expelled from the legislature in January 1838.
Exile & Return[edit]
After spending several years in Rochester, New York, he returned to Toronto in 1843 after being granted amnesty. In 1851, he was elected to represent Norfolk County in the Legislative Assembly and was appointed Commissioner of Crown Lands (serving 28 October 1851 – 30 August 1853). He also established a medical school, the Toronto School of Medicine. In 1854, the school became affiliated with Victoria College in Cobourg. He suffered a stroke in 1861 and finally retired in 1870. He died in Mitchell, a short time later.
His brother George was also a lawyer and served as a member in the legislative assembly.

This is all a hunch but according to an article it puts together the puzzle of the galaxy nexus quite well. Saying preorders start tomorrow and we will be able to pick it up on the 8th if this was true though wouldn't you think google would have given us a bit of a heads up. Also would Preorders begin tonight? Just wondering some thoughts on this article Article: Confirmed: Verizon Galaxy Nexus LTE release date; pre-order Tuesday - Computerworld Blogs
Can't wait :bowdown: Went to verizon store at my local mall where I first became a Verizon customer and found out they closed down. Family just upgraded to iPhones the beginning of this month and now they're gone when the guy told me to come back and see if he can get me an early upgrade:frown::frown: And the Nexus isn't a droid

What color do you want? Black, red, clear? Clear nylon is available here http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Detail.aspx?R=BK_7701540_0006392426 A little more expensive than spaghetti line, but still .50 a foot.
hi Philster, thanks for the URL link. I clicked on that and it just took me to the NAPA website. When I did a search, there were a bunch of air brake tubing but no sizes were specified?? I guess I will have to the local NAPA and asked for 1/8" OD tubing? Thanks again for the info.
I got both Renzetti and HMH tube vises and they are both fantastic vises. Tubes for streamers are the to go from now on. I dont use streamer hooks anymore since I found the hook up rates being awesome compared to long shanked hook. Cheaper in the long to and you can get circle/egg hooks anywhere. You wont regret it.
Weird. I guess with my cookies it takes me right to the product? Search Part number BK 7701540 for the clear nylon but it does have writing printed on it. if you want black, search air line tubing 1/8" on the internet. You won't find it online at NAPA, but I've just walked into large scale auto parts and walked out with it. There are some folks who really love nylaflow tubing, and you can search for that online, it comes in different sizes and can come out to be cheaper by the foot, but the way the balkamp stuff works is it gets delivered to your local NAPA so you don't pay shipping.
McMaster-Carr has just about any kind of tubing you can imagine: nylon, teflon, PVC, rubber, stainless, brass, and aluminum - among others. 1/8 in. OD nylon tubing is <a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/param/asp/PSearch2.asp?reqTyp=parametric&act=psearch&DisplayType=Param&FAM=tubing&FT_FT_3498=168547&FT_138=154264&FT_3916=169105&FT_3915=169148&session=desc=Nylon%20Tubing;tubing,FT_3498=168547;138=154264;3916=169105;3915=169148&ScreenWidth=1280&McMMainWidth=891#ItemsTable"> $0.16 to $0.25 per foot </a> depending on color and hardness.
I buy my brass, copper and aluminum tubing 3/16" and 1/8" from SmallParts.com. They been great but I am always on the look out for other places tho. Get a hobby miter box and saw to cut to length the tubings. The thing that I havent found a cheap source of is micro plastic tubing used for liner in 3/16" tubes which I still have to order and pay dearly for from HMH.
Before the tube fly "kits" hit the market, I used a Thompson "A" vise and a short length of metal coat hanger to hold the tube. It works like a champ and will save you some money if you find you don't like the flies you're tying. I have a roll of the black air line mentioned earlier. I put a needle in it, put it in boiling water for a few seconds to limber it up and then into cold water to set it. It comes out pretty straight that way. Just a thought.
When you're really ready to dive in: http://tubefly.blogspot.com/ As an aside, all the equipment (custom made reels, etc) you'll find here are top drawer stuff.
I just run it through my fingers a few times, slide it on whatever holder I'm using, and tie. By the time it comes off the needle it's almost straight. By the time I pull it out of the fly box, it's even more so.
not to highjack the thread but, for small Sea Run tube flys would the 1/8 in. OD work ok? Thanks for the help!
smaller is better for little shock and awe and shrimpy style things, but for decent sized, 3.5 inch or longer flies, 1/8" works fine. Don't think in terms of the tube when choosing what tube to use (I know, makes a lot of sense). Think in terms of the hook you want to use with the fly, and the junction tubing. For size 10 through 6, you're better off with a smaller tube in my experience. In fact, too small of a hook with a hard tube like the hard HMH "bulk" saltwater tubing can actually lead to cracking of the back of the tube.
So if i wanted to use a #4-#1 hook what size tubing would be best. I really want to try tube flies but there are too many options and brands and info i cant figure out what to buy.
My vote goes to Pro Tubes. Been using that system for a good while now and find that it works best for me.
'Long time ago, when tube flies were just starting to catch on, I cut and tapered with a file, a piece of coat hanger. It fit well in the vise and was adjustable for length. I've since gotten a couple of set-ups from different companies. I use the HMH most often.

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2008/07/2008730155218245825.html Perhaps Obama will spread enough love to keep it open ... stay tuned.
Surprised that you would have used the Al Jazeera source as a credible link.. Without regard seems to be true.. but the reality is that the US is not really commited to stopping the flow of drugs into the US.. this country talks the talk, but has never walked the walk. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/07/30/america/LA-Ecuador-US-Base.php
It's such a main source of income for terrorists, guerilla warfare and the like. It seems like a bit more money spent would be worthwhile but it's not a huge issue politically so it is what it is.
That's because there never really was one... Never... Our own CIA arrainges the importation, and hundreds of billions from the drug trade is laundered on Wall Street.... This is fairly undeniable fact at this point, and investigative journalists have been killed or run out of the country for merely writing about it.
LMAO, is this a conspiracy theory or fact? Not making fun of you or saying it's untrue. I'm merely saying that I haven't heard that before (honestly) and it sounds little ridiculous. At the same time, I wouldn't put it past the U.S. Government.
If I were a journalist, I'd write about it. But then again, if I had a drug dealer living beside me, I'd rat him out. I'm a big believer in ratting out criminals...not to be confused with Ratgini
PC you just wrote about it ... good post though ... lots of our economy, financial instruments and real estate holdings is from drug money.
Imagine this country with no drugs ... what a disaster. I can see the politicians thinking yeah ... keep them f'd up and we'll have more room to do the sh!t that we do.

This is a typical municipal report intended to reassure you that your water isn't laden with noxious organics (though it doesn't do a very good job of that). It contains no information useful to you as a brewer. You will have to send a sample off to Ward Labs or another laboratory to have the water analyzed or analyze it yourself.
