POOLE clinched the Elite League title with a 47-43 win at Birmingham for an emphatic 25-point aggregate success.
The Pirates, who will parade the silverware at the Blue Riband Individual event at Wimborne Road on Wednesday, secured two early 5-1s at Perry Barr to ease any nerves and went on to win on the night with skipper Darcy Ward scoring 14 whilst in-form reserve Josh Grajczonek added 13+1.
Poole promoter Matt Ford said: "It's been a stunning effort from everyone at the club. We were written off five months ago, but no one at Wimborne Road dropped their heads.
"The team have been awesome in the play-offs and shown just how much character and commitment exists at Poole Speedway. Birmingham are a good side but we gained home and away wins over them when it mattered, in the Grand Final. It is such a wonderful feeling to be champions once again."

There isn't private data on this app and it can be linked to if the phone has a passcode it can stay signed in. I just want to view pending points, purchase history and view my points without having to sign in.

Particularly the hard drives and storage section of the computers category. It won't load so I guess imma be buying my hard drives and storage from Walmart until this app gets a new update. Otherwise I really like the app, too bad all I need right now is a new hard drive.
Good for quick search
Very useful for quickly looking up products and model numbers. It does however have trouble working when I'm not connected to my home wifi.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- The Gwinnett County Animal Task Force -- charged with examining the procedures, policies and structure of the county's animal shelter and reporting back to the Board of Commissioners -- is still finalizing its recommendations, but a near complete edition has been released.
The recommendations for change are wide-reaching.
The task force covered everything from excessive barking to spay and neutering in its suggestions, which are expected to be finalized by chairman Joel Taylor and submitted to the Board of Commissioners by the end of the month. It also covered several issues that are sure to be more controversial.
A major focus of the task force's recommendations was euthanasia. Calling it a "last resort," the suggestion of the task force is to make it mandatory for euthanasia to be approved by three people: the rescue/adoption coordinator, who will certify "every effort to send the animal to a rescue" has been made; a veterinarian, who will verify that the animal cannot be treated at the shelter; and the shelter director, who will confirm alternative outcomes have been exhausted and space is becoming an issue.
As is, the shelter is mandated to keep animals for at least five days.
The issue of space as related to putting animals down is one contested in the task force's report. The group had someone document empty cages at the shelter on 17 randomly selected days throughout February, March and April. On average, 68 cages were empty per visit.
"Our inquiries about why dogs are put to death when space is available have met with two replies, neither of which is acceptable," the report said.
Those replies, according to the task force:
-- "Empty cages are used during the cleaning process to prevent the spread of disease." The size of the shelter allows for alternatives, the task force said.
-- "Some cages have to be left open for incoming dogs." The number of empty cages exceeds the number of dogs received on an average day, the task force said.
A total of 1,858 dogs were euthanized in 2011. More than 2,000 cats were put down, another point of contention for the task force.
"Ending an animal's life must be performed with extreme concern for the level of stress and discomfort experienced by the animal," its report said. "Current methods of restraint and injection used with cats do not meet this criterion."
The programs subcommittee of the task force also saw a need for the shelter website to be updated more quickly with information on animals available for adoption. It suggested that photos should be taken and posted within 24 hours of intake in order to better facilitate adoption and rescue.
"Adequate human resources must be made available for this," the report said. "Volunteers can be used."
Shelter volunteers were recently asked to stop updating a Facebook page highlighting animals available for adoption, the county citing its social media policy for employees.
Members of the public at the task force's meetings have often opined for the animal shelter to be taken out of the purview of the Gwinnett County Police Department. The group made up of local veterinarians, rescue group leaders, politicians and everyday citizens stopped short of that, but will recommend that changes be made.
In its report available online, the task force's structure subcommittee saw "no need" to change the shelter's current inclusion under the police, but said the quest for a manager should lead the county outside those parameters.
"In seeking the individual to fill this role, the county should favor experience in working at other animal shelters, and working with the public and rescue groups over past police experience," the recommendation said. "If being a sworn police officer is a prerequisite for holding the position of shelter director, the county should consider changing this requirement."
Former shelter manager Lt. Mary Lou Respess is currently under internal investigation for undisclosed reasons. Maj. Dan Bruno is serving in an interim role.
The task force's full report is available online at gwinnettcounty.com, under the "animal shelter" tab and the "animal task force" link.

This is a quantum leap in thinking for Gwinnett County. Hopefully the Gwinnett Board oommisioners will take this report seriously, and ACT on it vs. paying it lip service.
The time has long come to enact forward thinking policies processes and SOP's to run this department. After all, look at the money/tax $$ spent to build that new facility?? New facility, new "playbook". It just makes sense........ Great work task force! Hope the citizens of Gwinnett County appreciate your efforts on their behalf.
I am sure our animal friends do.

Sad that someone (above) seems to think it is ok to use tax payers money to kill innocent animals, when it really isn't necessary. Paints a pretty clear picture of the type of person you are. Anyway, enough time wasted on that.
I am glad that the concerns of the general public are starting to be heard. Does anyone realize that it can cost more to dispose of the bodies than it is to market and adopt? Gwinnett need a more compassionate leader and soon.

Kudos to the task force for their time and commitment to the animals. Also Kudos to Helping Gwinnett Animals (on facebook). So many have been adopted through their efforts. Keep up the good work. Commissioner's please remember that these fur babies have no voice other than us! Please do the right thing and help to make adoption and rescue more of an option that euthanasia!
And to Buford Guy, who obviously lacks compassion,..please do not ever own an animal...you don't deserve one.

What the taxpaying citizens of Gwinnett may not realize is that their lovely animal shelter actually blocks several local non-profit rescue groups from saving animals. This results not only in more deaths of adoptable companion animals, but a greater cost to Gwinnett taxpayers. Every dog put down in effect costs the county the $90 that it would have gotten from an adoption, in addition to the cost of feeding and boarding the dog. This is a lose-lose situation brought to you by your police department. The shelter has also put down animals that already had adopters or rescue offers from rescues that they ARE willing to work with. A group of volunteer dog trainers quit in protest after one of their pupils was killed without warning. Not only does this shelter need to be more "rescue-friendly", but it needs to stop having an anti-rescue, pro-kill attitude. Shelters in Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Columbus, and Floyd actively go out of their way to help animals get rescued. Taxpayers should be steamed that their money is being used in this way in Gwinnett, and demand change at the ballot box this fall!

How do we educate our lawmakers to require spay neuter for all animals. Other cities
(up north) don't have the problems we do with unwanted pets and high euthanasia
numbers because they have laws about spay neuter, and fines for those who ignore the
law. Also, why can't they hold the animals at least 7 days to give them more time to
calm down and become more relaxed. It would help with their adoptions.

Maybe more dogs would not be put to sleep if prospective owners could "touch more than 2 pets per visit". Yes, you have that right. When someone goes to the shelter, they walk around, choose a dog or cat to visit with, go to the "bonding room", then the dog or cat is brought in there. If for whatever reason the adult believes that pet is not a good match, then he/she can choose only one more animal to visit with in the bonding room. Once you've touched 2 animals, that's it. You can come back another day. That's what happened to us & we were told that's the policy. Fortunately, because the 2nd kitten we saw yowled & scratched the employee, and then the kitten had to be re-evaluated to see if it could be adopted, they made an exception and let us visit with one more cat. We decided he was a match for us. We were able to take him home that day (Saturday) because he was already neutered. There's another problem; probably most adoptive families go to the shelter on a Saturday, hoping to bring home a cat or dog that day, have the weekend with the new pet, then go to work on Monday. Well, if the dog or cat is not spayed or neutered, you don't take him/her home. They get fixed on Monday, then the owner can take time off from work on Tuesday to pick up the pet. So the best bet is go to the shelter on a Thursday before 3:30 (yes, take time off from work), be sure you only touch 2 animals, if it needs to be fixed it can be done on Friday (Mon/Fri the only spay/neuter days) and then the pet can be taken home Saturday. Whew! Some shelters have an outdoor area where you can play with the pet outside, and they don't have a touch only 2 policy. I hope that policy is being closely examined. And when you look on the website of the dogs available, it does not list whether or not that animal is already spayed or neutered. That would be handy information. The "touch 2 animals only" policy is not on the website either. The shelter near Winder is the only one in Gwinnett and a long drive for some people, so if they don't choose the first or second pet, they're not going to go back again.

Does this task force plan on putting their contact information out to the public so that they are called instead of the shelter?
GwinnettDogLover 2 years, 9 months ago
The Task Force has had their information posted on the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter page for a few months...you can reach them here: email@example.com.

This DOES seem out of whack, can anyone identify the reason or situation that caused this policy to come about originally? If it can't be clearly explained - it's now time to revise.
bridgetbordeaux 2 years, 9 months ago
When my daughter and I volunteered at the shelter, we were told that the public could only touch 2 dogs or cats per day because of the threat of disease. I know that parvo is very contagious and an outbreak can be devastating, but I feel that the animal control workers just didn't want to keep getting animals out of the cages.
I really loved volunteering there but my daughter was not old enough so we had to stop.
If the rules could be relaxed, maybe more people would volunteer and the public could see more animals and less animals would be euthanized.
OoohYouDontSay 2 years, 9 months ago
I didn't know about this "touch two animals" policy. What crazy person came up with THAT?? Clearly, that's not a pro-adoption stance, is it? Just one more reason why the shelter needs someone who's professional, who has experience running a shelter, who knows about marketing, interacting with the public, making sure the animals are on the web each day, putting up a Facebook page, which I've heard is "against policy." Now that's ANOTHER dumb thing! In this day and age, it's "against policy" to have a Facebook page???? There are so many whacky policies and/or ideas coming out of that shelter. The police do a great job at police work, but running an animal shelter is NOT police work. And when we write the commissioners, they don't seem to absorb what we write about. Nash is the only one who ever responds to me -- not even my own commissioner bothers. I get the feeling none have visited the shelter and they don't seem to care what's going on. With the excellent facility we have,we could be a shelter others seek to copy, but not with the policies they have. And try to volunteer. Are fingerprints still required? The place could be full of volunteers if the management made it volunteer-friendly, but they seem to run off the few who are tough enough to try to help.
GwinnettDogLover 2 years, 9 months ago
In order for effective change to take place, Gwinnett needs to move the shelter portion of their operation out from under the police department. The gross mismanagement of this shelter using taxpayers dollars is rediculous. It has cost the lives of way too many companion animals! Supposedly there has been an internal investigation into the shelter director and others and now she has "retired", as well as the Kennel Supervisor and the person who coordinated rescues who "resigned". I think the police should stick with what they know and do well which is enforcing the codes and ordinances and they should leave the sheltering of animals to experts. Hopefully with the upheaval of some of the top positions this will happen. Seems like the logical time for it take place. I have been to the shelter several times so far this year and usually see the staff just sitting around. One was reading the newspaper and others just sit at the front or lean against the walls. Many volunteers are sitting around, too though most of them seem more approachable then the officers. Would be nice if they put a leash on a dog or two and walked them as they appear to have the time. I was told I could not take a dog out because my whole family was not with me. I was trying to "screen" a dog before I brought my husband and kids down and everyone got all excited. I basically know what fits in my family. Plus...it is very hard to get my husband there due to his work hours. The shelter closes at 4pm each day which is not practical. I hope the Board of Commissioners takes the recommendations made by the Task Force to heart and initiates the many needed changes. After all, it is an election year and there are a lot of pet lovers in Gwinnett County!

The control and response of your tri-copter is really fast and solid. I'm building a tri-copter now, hopefully to use your new code soon One question: the tail arm with servo and motor is a little longer due to the servo & twisting arm assembly, so should I cut the tail arm down a bit to make the tail motor at the same distant from the center of the tri-copter as the other two arms? Or should I just move the battery up to get the CG at the middle? Thanks -Thanh |

Are those pots 2mm in size? I found some 2mm pots from Digikey, they look similar to the one you have there. I'm building a board X-Y-Z MEMS gyro board (using 2 ST gyros). Hopefully I will then be able to use those gyros with your 2 layer edition. Should make a very small, thin & light board. -Thanh |

Cut the arm down to get equal distances, and move the battery forward to offset the weight of the servo. |

I'm using 5000mAh 15C (75A max) on rather large quads (2200g) without any issue.
As long as your max amp draw does not exceed the battery capacity to deliver amps, it's ok. If you draw 15 amps max per motor, that's a total of 60 amps. With a 4000mAh at 15c you can deliver 15x4A = 60A so you are good. Anything below could be a problem. FWIW, Bob |

I wish I'd used thinner copper-board... I see it comes in thinner sheets. But maybe wouldn't help vibrations? I've been playing around with the tx and rx tonight. The set didn't come with any instructions :s It's the 6 channel Hobbyking 2.4GHz set... it has six channels labelled ch1-ch6 but I'm not sure which channel corresponds with which function so I'm a little confused but I'm sure a little Googling will sort that I bought some thin carbon fiber plate and hollow 3mm diameter carbon fiber tubes to construct a frame.

| Court Ordered Rehab?
So the best possible thing just happend. My Ex's mother called me and we had a long conversation. I finally told her how bad it has really gotten because she asked me. He went home last week and she noticed how skinny he had gotten. I told her that at first he smoked pot then it was alocohol now its cocaine and various presciption drugs. I didnt tell her that he was a drug dealer, she is so sweet and loves him so much I dont think she could handle it. His father is calling me tomorrow and I will tell him, but I just didnt have the heart to tell his mother that part. I took a few Criminal Justice courses in college, but we never went over court orders. So I was just wondering if there is any way for his parents to obtain a court order for him to go to rehab, even though he is 20. His mother asked me, but I have no idea. He has been in trouble with the law before. I didn't know if that would help get one, if its possible?

Once 18 you are an adult and no one can force you into rehab and if you choose to go no one can make you stay.

Even if she could make him go, if he isn't ready and doesn't have the willingness, it would probably be futile. My prayers go out for his mother, she's going to learn some things no mother should ever have to know and it's going to break her heart. And prayers for her son, that he finds a better path all on his own. Hugs

Hi AshleyLee, There is also the option of doing an 'intervention'. There are people who specialize in these and it may be worth a try. best to you, Leslie

If he poses a threat to himself or someone else, then he can be held for 3 days or longer in a detox facility in the state of texas. i once heard a story of a man who actually lied to authorities to manipulate the system just to get his son into treatment. it worked. It's true though that if they don't have the will, even once sober (detoxed) the chance of early relapse is greater. My XAH agreed to go to rehab for an undetermined amount of time (usually 30 days), but in retrospect I see that he was more concerned about "doing his time" in there, instead of actually learning how to stick to a plan that works once he was out. He relapsed about 2 weeks after being out. We are now divorced and he's sank deeper into pain pills. Also he's under a court order that states his ex wife can demand a drug test before or after he has visitation with his 2 girls. That whole idea is a JOKE. They know all the tricks to getting a clean test. The system really doesn't do anything but create a minor obstacle for the addict. They are experts at manipulation. |

I just checked on this, in iowa to get a court commital you have to prove that he is a danger to himself or others, if he goes to rehab he'll stay 2 weeks if he listens to them, if not it's 30 days, if you think he needs more time tell the judge he needs long term care. I'm going threw this myself right now. Good luck, we both need it. |

AshleyLee, You absolutely can get a court order. My son is 22. Last year, I had him Marchman Acted. This is the same thing as a Baker Act, but for drug/alcohol problems. You can get the package at your local courthouse. Have other family members or friends who can testify to the addicts behavior, write letters to the judge. Fill out the forms and attach the letters to the package, file with the court. They will set a hearing for the addict to go in front of the judge. You will be there as well as anyone else who wants to testify that the addict needs help. The judge will court order the addict into a rehab program. If the addict leaves, he/she will be arrested. But with all of that, I agree that if the addict is not ready to stop, this is all moot. My son did great in the rehab, but the minute he got out, he scored. He told me he was not ready to quit at the time. He is now putting himself in rehab because he tells me now he is ready. Good luck |

I thought you broke up with this guy 6 months ago and here you are "breaking the news" to the family. What's up with this? Court ordered and paid for rehab varies by state. In most states, this may be an alternative to prison, upon being convicted of a crime. I am not reading that this ex is seeking recovery. Have you considered giving him the dignity to decide this, for himself? |

You should really add that "quality" thing that people can use to tune the display quality down, I can't really play it now:(
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It's realy good, but you should really add more upgrades in this.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I admit that it didn't seem that interesting at first. This did, however, manage to impress me as time went on because it did have a lot of cool stuff in it. I don't even understand most of it. It still managed to be pretty entertaining overall, even if it did lag at times. I just think the design of this flying sandworm is cool. It's been so long since the original game came out.
I was so motivated to see my monster get bigger! I had no idea NyanCat(s) were going to show up in this. I couldn't help but eat their pop tart bodies! Of course, I heard those things are terrible for you. The sounds were also really cool.

The Xbox 360 may become home to another, less infuriating Mark of Chaos in the coming months if the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle website is to be believed. The German software ratings board -- think ESRB but far more interesting to pronounce -- has updated its database with an entry for "Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Battle March (GC Demo)" for the Xbox 360.
The title would imply the existence of an Xbox 360 version of last year's PC real-time strategy game, due to be shown off at the Leipzig Games Convention taking place later this month. Developed by Black Hole Entertainment, the original game received some varied reviews and several complaints about its adherence to the tabletop game's rules. If indeed a real game, Battle March joins a steadily growing battalion of RTS games marching onto Microsoft's console.

Thumpamon is a village near Pandalam in Kerala, India. One of the greatest attractions of this village is the Achenkovil River, which is renowned for its natural sceneries along the riverbank. The income in this locality mainly depends on Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and crops like rubber, coconut, paddy and pepper. Because of Non-Resident Indians this is one of the wealthiest villages in Kerala. Thumpamon is divided into two regions. Thumpamon North and Thumpamon south by Achenkovil River.
Thumpamon is the home to the Thumpamon Vadakkumnatha Temple (http://www.thumpamonvadakkumnathan.in/index.htm). It is an ancient temple whispering several fascinating legendary fables of the bygone eras.[1] This temple has two Sreekovils (sanctum sanctorum). Both Sreekovils are round (vatta).
The first Sreekovil of this temple is dedicated to a deity named as Vadakkumnatha. It is believed by the worshippers that the Lord installed in this Sreekovil is a form of Lord Shiva. Few other devotees believe that the deity is a representation of Muruga i.e. Lord Kartikeya while others are of the opinion that it is a form of Lord Vishnu. However, the deity resembles Sree Buddha.[2]
The worshipers believe that the deity in the second Sreekovil (known as Thekkumnathan) is Balamuruga. It is believed that this deity was worshiped by SakthiBhadra the author of Acharya Chudamani (a drama for Koodiyatta). The Sreekovil has been adorned with magnificent mural paintings that augment its beauty.[1] The important festivals that are celebrated in this temple include Uthrada Maholsavam (Thiruutsavam- yearly celebration)sreemath bhagavatha sapthaham, Mahashivarathri, Thaipooyam, Vishu, Onam etc. The Uthrada Maholsavam is celebrated in the uthradam star of Malayalam month Meenam. The general form of Thumpamon Sree VadakkumNathan temple is based on the PANCHA-PRAKARA LAYOUT SCHEME of the traditional kerala temples..The Bhakti Movement and resurgence of Hinduism also marked the revival of temple construction. According to Kularnava Tantra human body itself is a temple and Sadashiva or Paramathma is the deity in this temple. This sidhantha(theory) is adopted in the construction of Kerala Temples. Sreekovil or Garbhagruham (sanctum sanctorum) is considered as the head of the deity, Antharalam or inner Balivattom is considered as the face of the deity, Mukhamandapam or Namaskara mandapam is considered as the neck of the deity, Nalambalam is considered as the hands of the deity, Pradakshinaveethi is considered as the Kukshi pradesa (stomach) of the deity, compound wall is considered as the legs of the deity and the main Gopuram is considered as the foot of the deity. That means Panchaprakaras (Prakaram or compound wall, Bahyahara or Sheevelippura, Madhyahara or Vilakkumadam, Anthahara or Nalambalam and Antharalam or inner Balivattom) of the Temple is the Sthoola Sareera (visible part of the body) of the deity. The Deva Prathishta or idol inside the Sreekovil or Garbhagruha and the Shadaadharas (Aadharashila, Nidhikumbham, Padmam, Koormam, Yoganaalam and Napumsaka shila) under the prathishta is the Sookshma Sareera (soul) of the deity. The Dwajam (flag staff) or Kodimaram is the spinal code of the deity. Hence a typical Kerala temple resembles a human body in all aspects.Fully realising the need to create places of worship that would attract devotees, the Pancha-Prakara scheme became the standard for temple architecture.The dimensions of the five components of the temple architecture are laid out in Tantra Samucchaya, a treatise on temple architecture compiled and written in c.1300 AD The five (Pancha) enclosures (Prakaras) around the Sanctum of the thumpamon sree Vadakkum Nathan temple is as follows:
PANCHA-PRAKAARA LAYOUT: OF THUMPAMON SREE VADAKKUM NATHAN TEMPLE 1. AKATTHE-BALIVATTAM - (a)The innermost enclosure, which includes two Sreekovils for building housing of the principal deities Vadakkunnathan and ThekkumNathan. (b) Anthar-mandala: Space outside the Sreekovil occupied by protective deities in the form of small stone platforms - Bali-Kall (c)Namaskaara-mandapa: A raised platform for prostration`s 2. NAALAMBALAM / CHUTTAMBALAM - Area around the sanctum which consists of (a)Valia-ambalam: Covered spaces around the Sreekovil for rituals and prayers (b) Thittapalli: A small temple kitchen (c) Mulayara : Storage space for grains, fruits, utensils, firewood 3. MADHYA HAARA / VILAKKU-MADAM - The Vilakkumadom `Galaxy of Lamps around temple `had lost in the dark age have reconstructed recently. 4. PURATTHE-BALIVATTAM / SIVELIPPURA - Outer enclosure and cirumabulatory pathway consists the following (a)Agra-mandapa : Pathway leading to the Naalambalam (b)Valiya-balikall: Large decorated stone platform for sacrificial offerings (c) Bali-peetha : Positions for protective deities outside the temple (d) Kshetra-paala: Positions for temple guardians (e) Kovil of minor deities: Sub-shrines within the temple compound The temple had lost the Sivelippura and Koothamabalam(the Enclosure for temple musicians) in the dark ages. 5. MARYAADA / PURAM MATHIL - The outer boundary wall consists the following (a)Gopura in front of vadakkumNathan - a formal high building marking the main gateways (b)Reconstructed Oottu-pura : Lunch-hall (c) Puram-mathil: Outer-wall [3] [4]
The St.Mary's Orthodox Syrian Cathedral commonly known as Thumpamon Valiya Pally (http://www.stmarysocym.com) is an ancient church located here. It is the headquarters of the Thumpamon Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. The church first was built in AD 717 and it is among the one of oldest churches in Kerala. [5]
Another historical monument in Thumpamon is Pulickal Kalari, an example of the traditional gymnasium of Kerala.
Salem Mar Thoma Church, Muttom is one of the most spiritual and anciently reformed church in Thumpamon.
Kadisha Orthodox Church, Thumpamon Bethel Marthoma Church, Thettikkakavu Devi Temple are also located here.
Pandalam K.P Raman Pillai the well known freedom fighter, educationist and poet belongs to Thumpamon. He wrote the school anthem "Akilanda mandalam aniyich0rukki" which is followed by all schools in kerala.

Editor's Notes: Don't twy this at home |

Robin Doussard |
Monday, January 04, 2010 |
Doussard Family Industries held a day-long retreat over the holidays and decided that the company needed to jump on the social media bandwagon in a big way to better facilitate communication externally and internally. DFI has a long history of poor communication practices, and frankly I have to blame it entirely on the operations manager. As CEO, CFO and chief marketer, I had to convince Ops that we needed to get active on Twitter. Despite 31 years of trying to modernize him (hello, 1970s haircut!) Ops is still a Victorian when it comes to new technology, especially ones that require him to interface with humans. So we spent this past weekend in beta so Ops could be trained before we went public. The rule was that we could only communicate via Twitter. No email, no face-to-face, no phone calls. |

Is Robbo really the worst keeper of the season?
I would tend to agree with the press on this one. At least at the beginning of the season, he cost us a shitload of points.
Hey Guys as a long term spurs fan 44 years an ex keeper, just remember how bad David James was a few sessions ago and how he is now!!!!!
Easter is over Guys stop Crucifying the guy there are 10 others on the pitch and some of them have been less than great!!!- 1 Reply to ROBERT
who would be your nomination for worst & best Spurs player this season then?
Worst: close call between Lee YP, Kaboul & KP Boateng
Best: Keano... though Woodgate & Hutton have done well since joining... also Bale before the injury - think he has been badly missed

- show Description
Paradise was a television Western in a time when television wasn't interested in Westerns (unless in a mini-series format). The fact the series lasted three years is a testament to the show and to the acting. The series began as St. Louis musical review singer Lucy Cord Carroll passed away, sending her four children, ranging in age from 5 to 13, to live with their uncle, grizzled gunfighter Ethan Allan Cord (veteran television actor Lee Horsley), in Paradise, California. Despite having some trepidation about assuming the role of guardian, Ethan rented a farmhouse from Paradise Bank owner Amelia Lawson and converted it into a makeshift ranch house in which his new family could reside. He tried to raise the children to the best of his ability as a peaceful rancher, but was frequently hired for his gunfighting skills, either to track someone down or to simply protect Paradise from criminals -- or both. During these times, the children were "looked in on" from time to time by Amelia or Ethan's friend, John Taylor. But, much of the ranch chores and supervision inevitably rested on the shoulders of the oldest of the Carroll children, 13-year-old Claire (Jenny Beck). With Ethan gone, she and her brothers -- 11-year-old Joseph (Matthew Newmark), nine-year-old Ben (Brian Lando), and five-year-old George (Michael Patrick Carter) -- had plenty of chores assigned to them. John Taylor (Dale Berti), a Native American who was Ethan's best friend, had an uncanny knack of being around just as he was needed, either at the ranch, or with Ethan when a gunfight was imminent. Amelia (Sigrid Thornton) turned into Ethan's love interest in the show. Other characters seen in and around town were Scotty the bartender, Tiny the blacksmith, the hotel's Mr. Dodd, and shopkeepers Mr. Lee and Mr. Axelrod. Paradise was on the air for two seasons, but returned for a third season under the title, Guns of Paradise. The re-tooled version kept most of the same concepts of the original, while eliminating the frequency of some minor characters. In Guns of Paradise, Ethan bacame the town marshal, and was building a home for the children and Amelia, now his fiance. Paradise ran on CBS Thursdays 9-10 p.m. from October 1988 to March 1989 (between 48 Hours and Knots Landing) and Saturdays 8-9 p.m. from April 1989 to September 1990 (prior to Tour of Duty). Guns of Paradise, also on CBS was on Fridays 8-9 p.m. from January 1991 to June 1991.

A western, a romance and a family show all wrapped up in one. It shows how people can change from their old wicked ways with the proper motivation (family & love) and real friends can be found in those that some would consider to be natural enemies.
Ethan Cord takes care of family, later the family ends up taking care of him.

High on the list as the most perfect RC-field ever, 3D Masters - University of Northampton, England, is just plain stunning. It's an abandoned football field elevated in the middle of a typical English countryside scenery, with rolling green hills, surrounded by neatly shaped but not too tall trees and with some long sleek slopes. Here Phoenix's static weather limitations are a good thing; in real life the 3D Masters competitions were moved to other grounds abroad because of the frequent English rainshowers.
Can you think of something better? Methinks not. 3D Masters, UK: (scenery is converted from the Reflex simulator, we can't upload it here)

1. The slope soaring solution of Phoenix is extremely basic. AFPD is almost perfect in this respect. 2. It has nothing to do with those 10 parameters. 3. It is the "flying site" designer who define lifting parameters. 4. To use this slope soaring feature the "Use field weather" should be selected. 5. I was complaining at Phoenix, that the solution is bad, they said that it had been improved. 6. I have some idea how to improve it. Puzom and me is working on a "flying site" if my new idea is working I might make HHH_V better. Explanation: There are no real hills at Phoenix (see Montebello Castle, you can fly below the hill) therefore there is nothing to do with wind parameters. An area has to be defined and a wind for this area, the wind is a vector. The uplifting component which counts. The problem is at the borders of the area. Inside there is a given upward directed wind outside nothing. |

If you have Matyasfold_HQ.ZIP installed, it's best to remove it first to prevent issues. Download here To fully enjoy it, make sure the file "..\Documents\PhoenixRC\Settings\options.sim" contains "options.default_forceNoCompression = 1" (default value is 0) This will prevent the sim from compressing images. The skies in your sceneries will look better. Note: it might impact your frames per second a bit. Cheers! |

One atmospheric flying site from the desert in Nevada. A low sun is not always irritating. The dusk effects work out just fine in this one. Las Vegas is a special place.
