See that light bulb, does something to you
Makes it a little harder to tell a lie don't it?
Make it difficult to run and hide don't it?
from Frank Ocean – Scared of Beautiful Lyrics on Genius
When the "light" is on he can see who he really is. All his flaws and imperfections. There's no denying it or hiding from it.
Also could mean a light bulb lite up over his head like he just figured something out.
The police use light during interrogation shining it in the suspects eyes sweatin' them. Its annoying and confusing and can lead to the suspect breaking and spilling the truth. In this case Frank is sweating himself.

Bartolo Colon Rumors
East Notes: Murphy, Colon, Hardy, Machado
The Mets are likely to shop Daniel Murphy again this offseason, Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes. The free agent market for hitters is weak, so they might be able to do well in a deal. If they do trade him, Wilmer Flores could take over at second until a more permanent starter emerges, perhaps prospect Dilson Herrera. The Mets also could wait to trade Murphy until next summer. A long-term deal seems unlikely. Here are more notes from the East Coast.
- The Mets placed Bartolo Colon on revocable waivers today, and while he's pitched reasonably well this season and is only due $11MM in 2015, ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that one executive thinks that a waiver claim would be "like a lightning bolt from the heavens for the Mets."
- Manny Machado's season-ending knee injury could impact whether J.J. Hardy returns to the Orioles next season, Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com suggests. Hardy is a free agent, and the idea was that Machado would move to shortstop once he left. With Machado's knee issues, though, it's not yet clear whether he will be able to handle the move to a tougher spot on the diamond.
- The Orioles are unlikely to make a move to replace Machado at third, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports. Trades are difficult this time of year, and it would be difficult for the Orioles to find someone who could improve on Chris Davis and Ryan Flaherty anyway.

Mets Place Bartolo Colon On Revocable Waivers
The Mets have placed starting pitcher Bartolo Colon on revocable waivers, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal tweets. Colon is in the first year of a two-year, $20MM deal that will pay him $11MM in 2015, so any team to claim him would risk being responsible for that salary. The Mets do, of course, retain the right to pull Colon back if any team claims him.
Exactly how teams will value Colon is unclear. He has performed fairly well this season, with a 3.85 ERA, 7.0 K/9 and an excellent 1.2 BB/9 in 161 1/3 innings so far, and seems, on the surface, to be worth his contract. He's already 41, however, so some teams might view him with trepidation. One report last month indicated that the Mets would be willing to absorb about $2MM in salary if they traded Colon.
Besides the Mets, the team most obviously impacted by the news that Colon is on waivers is the Angels, who are looking for starting pitching after losing Garrett Richards to a season-ending injury. It's unclear whether Colon will slip all the way to the Angels in the waiver process. As Rosenthal notes, he would have to pass through 28 teams before the Angels would have the chance to claim him. Given the likelihood that he would help a contending Angels team, that seems somewhat unlikely, but it's not unheard of that Colon would make it that far — other contending teams passed on Marlon Byrd last year and allowed the Pirates to claim him, for example, even though Byrd didn't have a significant salary.

AL West Notes: Angels, Feldman, A's, Cano
The Angels have had a run of terrible luck in the second half, losing both Tyler Skaggs (Tommy John surgery) and Garrett Richards (torn left patellar tendon) for the remainder of the 2014 season (Skaggs will miss most or all of 2015 as well). Following the news of Richards' diagnosis yesterday, GM Jerry Dipoto told reporters he would be on the lookout for further pitching help. As quoted by MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez (Twitter links): "Between now and Sept. 1, we'll try to be as open as we can be. And after Sept. 1, hopefully what we're missing in Garrett Richards we're able to somewhat make up for in volume and depth."
Here's the latest on Anaheim's search for pitching and other Angels-related matters…
- The Angels have been connected to Bartolo Colon in the wake of these injuries, but Peter Gammons reports (Twitter links) that he's heard Astros right-hander Scott Feldman's name in connection with the Halos as well. However, neither right-hander had been put on waivers as of earlier this morning, and Gammons notes that it might be difficult for the Angels to land a pitcher on waivers because, as one baseball source explained to him, the Orioles and Yankees "are claiming everyone."
- Kevin Baxter of the Los Angeles Times looks at the diverse background of educations in the Athletics' front office and how those varying personalities fuel the team's analytical approaches. Baxter spoke with assistant GMs David Forst and Farhan Zaidi for the piece, with Zaidi noting: "It cultivates a lot of debate in our office, just having diverse educational backgrounds and having people that aren't necessarily guys who have spent their whole careers in the industry … As a group we are less prone to just let assumptions stand and let opinions go unopposed."
- Robinson Cano is hitting .329/.397/.469 and has been worth five-plus wins above replacement this season, but Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times writes that his on-field work isn't the only way he contributes to the Mariners. Divish spoke with skipper Lloyd McClendon and outfielder Dustin Ackley about Cano's positive and relaxed personality and the impact that his demeanor has on the team.

Quick Hits: Colon, Angels, Cardinals, Stanton, Cashner
The Mets have not yet tried sending Bartolo Colon through revocable waivers, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal tweets. One reason this is significant is because Colon would represent one possible upgrade for an Angels team that just lost Garrett Richards to what appears to be a significant knee injury. It's unclear whether Colon would be claimed by another team before getting to the Angels. He's pitched fairly well this year, despite his age, and he's set to make a reasonable salary of $11MM in 2015. Here are more notes from around the big leagues.
- At least so far, the David Freese / Peter Bourjos trade has worked out fairly well for the Angels, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez writes. Freese got off to a slow start but has hit well since June, while Fernando Salas has been steady out of the Angels' bullpen. Meanwhile, Bourjos hasn't hit well in a part-time role with the Cardinals (although he continues to provide defensive value), and outfield prospect Randal Grichuk has spent most of the season at Triple-A.
- Calls for the Marlins to trade Giancarlo Stanton may have been premature, writes Rosenthal. Next season, Stanton will still only be 25 and under control through 2016, and the Marlins will have a healthy Jose Fernandez. They might also get more help from young hitters Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna, so they could contend in 2015. While they likely won't be able to sign Stanton long term before he becomes eligible for free agency following the 2016 season, they might be able to simply wait to trade him, perhaps for established players rather than prospects.
- Padres pitcher Andrew Cashner will make his first start since June 18 on Saturday in Arizona, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune tweets. On his way back from a shoulder injury, Cashner pitched five innings in a rehab start for Triple-A El Paso Monday. Cashner has emerged as one of the top starters in the National League in the past two seasons, and he had a 2.76 ERA with 7.0 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 76 1/3 innings this year before he got hurt.

Placed On Revocable Waivers: Friday
With the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline behind us, Major League teams must place players on revocable trade waivers in order to deal them to another club. A player that clears waivers can be dealt to any team, while a player that is claimed on waivers can be dealt to that team only (within 48.5 hours) or simply pulled back off waivers. A player can be placed on waivers a second time after being pulled back, but the waivers are no longer revocable the second time.
Here's Friday's rundown of which players have been placed on revocable waivers…
- Both Ichiro Suzuki and Brendan Ryan have been placed on revocable waivers by the Yankees, reports George A. King III of the New York Post. Neither player has hit much this season, with the 40-year-old Ichiro slashing .276/.324/.321 and the 32-year-old Ryan hitting just .214/.263/.257. Both come with good defensive reputations despite their light bats. Ichiro, guaranteed $1.85MM through season's end, is a free agent this winter. Ryan has $568K of this season's $2MM salary remaining and is guaranteed $2MM in 2015 as well. He has a $1MM player option for the 2016 campaign.
- Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox have placed left-hander Craig Breslow and infielder Kelly Johnson on revocable waivers (Twitter link). Breslow, who turns 34 today, has struggled this year and endured a rough patch of late, surrendering a dozen runs in his past 15 2/3 innings. The typically effective southpaw has been hit hard by both righties and lefties en route to a 5.01 ERA this season. He's owed $1.09MM through year's end, plus a $100K buyout on a $4MM option.
- Johnson, 32, has been on the disabled list since being acquired by the Red Sox in exchange for Stephen Drew at the deadline. He batted .219/.304/.373 with the Yankees this year and is owed $852K through the end of the year. While Johnson is a versatile piece that has in the past offered both power and speed, he's hit just six homers this year. Still, he could serve as a low-cost bench addition to a contending team.
- The Mets have placed Curtis Granderson on revocable waivers, according to ESPN's Jayson Stark (via ESPN New York colleague Adam Rubin). Granderson, 33, is hitting .224/.330/.392 with 15 homers and eight steals in the first year of a four-year, $60MM pact inked with the Mets. He's owed $3.69MM through season's end plus another $47MM from 2015-17, making for a total of $50.69MM remaining on his deal. Granderson got off to a terrible start but is hitting .249/.353/.443 with 14 homers since May 1. Then again, he's also been slumping of late. A claim seems unlikely, given the sizable sum remaining on his contract. If Granderson goes unclaimed, he could be dealt to any team, but that also seems unlikely in the first year of a four-year contract.
- Of note is that Stark also reports that Bartolo Colon has yet to hit waivers, though one would expect that the Mets will run him through the process at some point.

New York Notes: Yanks, Byrd, Murphy, Colon
With the trade deadline less than three hours away, here are some notes out of the Big Apple…
- The Yankees are still considering names like Josh Willingham, Chris Denorfia and Byrd, but their talks are currently at an impasse, tweets Rosenthal. The Yankees appear to be taking their decision down to the wire.
Earlier Updates
- The Yankees aren't focusing on any major trades, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. They're looking for an upgrade over Ichiro Suzuki in right field — Marlon Byrd is still possible, he notes — as well as some help for the bullpen.
- The Nationals have called the Mets to express interest in Daniel Murphy, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, but a trade between the division rivals is unlikely. Rosenthal noted earlier today that Washington also has interest in Asdrubal Cabrera.
- The Orioles have checked in on Bartolo Colon, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. However, the Mets aren't sure whether or not they'll trade him at this time yet. The Mets have signaled a definite willingness to move Colon, though GM Sandy Alderson isn't one to simply dump salary in trades, so based on Heyman's writing, it seems that the O's probably haven't made any form of significant offer.
- There's no traction between the Royals and the Mets for Colon, tweets Andy Martino of the New York Daily News. Martino adds that barring a change, the Mets don't seem likely to be active today, but he'd be surprised if Colon were with the Mets in 2015.
- Sherman also hears that the Mets are likely to stand pat today (Twitter link). The Mets feel that a better market will develop for Colon in the offseason, when he'll have just one year and $11MM remaining on his contract.
Latest On Royals' Pitching Search
We took a look yesterday at the Royals' search for an outfielder. Kansas City has also been mentioned alongside several starting pitchers in recent days, including A.J. Burnett, Bartolo Colon, and John Lackey. (MLBTR links.) Here's the latest:
- The Royals have asked the Rockies about Jorge De La Rosa, tweets Jon Morosi of FOX Sports. De La Rosa spent a few years with Kansas City before they dealt him to Colorado to complete the Ramon Ramirez deal in 2008. Earlier this month, Rockies owner Dick Monfort told Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post the team aimed to do everything they can to keep De La Rosa, who is eligible for free agency after the season.
- The Royals are talking with the Phillies about A.J. Burnett, but nothing is close, tweets Rosenthal. With bats in scarce supply, Kansas City is still exploring the pitching market, Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star adds on Twitter.
Yesterday's Updates
- The Royals are in on Ian Kennedy of the Padres, along with the Pirates and Marlins (and still others), tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Of course, as Rosenthal notes, it is not clear that San Diego will deal away Kennedy.
- Boston is looking for power pitching in return for Lackey, but K.C. places a high value on its young arms, tweets McCullough.
- The Royals have indeed inquired on Colon, but got the sense that New York did not intend to move him, tweets McCullough.
- The Phillies have had recent discussions with the Royals about Burnett as well as Antonio Bastardo, reports Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com. As for Colon, his market is not developing with any clubs, let alone the Royals, tweets Jayson Stark of ESPN.com.
- As of earlier this morning, the Royals were unwilling to meet the Red Sox' asking price on Lackey, tweets Jon Morosi of FOX Sports. Kansas City remains interested if the price comes down, adds Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star (via Twitter).
- While the team is looking into adding a starter (and/or an outfielder or reliever), McCullough tweets, GM Dayton Moore says he is still counting on internal production to drive results.

East Notes: Rays, Colon, Blue Jays, Beckham
Expecting fireworks at the deadline from the Rays? History would dictate that it won't happen, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. If anything, Topkin writes, Rays executive VP Andrew Friedman has been known for holding on to big-name players like Carl Crawford, B.J. Upton, and James Shields. More from the AL and NL East..
- There's "absolutely nothing" brewing on trade talks for Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon at the moment, a source tells Andy Martino of the New York Daily News (on Twitter).
- The Blue Jays were interested in Darwin Barney before he was shipped to the Dodgers and have kicked the tires on the White Sox's Gordon Beckham for the last month, tweets Bruce Levine of WSCR-AM. However, Beckham's recent slump has hurt progress in those talks. Toronto was linked to Beckham last October.
- Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said the main reason why he traded for Danny Valencia was his "success versus left-handers and what he can do in the box," tweets Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Valencia boasts a career .879 OPS against lefties.

NL East Notes: Howard, Colon, Mets
Ryne Sandberg's handling of Ryan Howard is becoming a key to the early portion of Sandberg's tenure with the Phillies, Matt Gelb of the Inquirer writes. "I do think it's important to have players who fit my type of players," Sandberg said last week. "That's important going forward. I think getting younger will be a step going forward." It's becoming clear that Howard, who Sandberg has repeatedly (and arguably with ample justification) benched, is not Sandberg's type of player. Gelb notes that Sandberg's years managing in the minor leagues impacted him, meaning that he would rather play a youngster than an unproductive veteran. GM Ruben Amaro, meanwhile, recently said that he was planning on Howard playing first base for the Phillies next year. A report last week indicated that the Phillies were considering releasing Howard, although Amaro has denied that's the case. Here are more notes on the NL East.
- Two NL East starters who could be traded, A.J. Burnett and Bartolo Colon, will face off Monday, Tim Healey of MLB.com writes. Colon says that he's ignoring the possibility that the Mets might deal him. "I don't know anything about that," he says through an interpreter. "Those are decisions for the upper management, and you can't control that stuff."
- The Mets are not likely to be buyers or sellers in the traditional sense, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com writes. That doesn't mean they won't be on the market, however — they will likely approach it with the goal of improving in 2015. GM Sandy Alderson says he isn't likely to deal prospects for rentals. At the same time, they do not seem to be chomping at the bit to trade Daniel Murphy, although trading Colon could be a possibility.

Mets Would Pay Some Of Colon's Salary In Trade
The Mets are willing to absorb roughly $2MM of Bartolo Colon's remaining salary in order to facilitate a trade, sources tell Andy Martino of the New York Daily News. Colon, who earns $9MM in 2014 and $11MM in 2015, has about $14.25MM remaining on his contract at this time.
However, Martino also reports that the growing sense is that if Colon is to be moved this month, it won't happen until just before the deadline. Many teams consider him a fallback option if they are unable to acquire the likes of David Price, Ian Kennedy and Cliff Lee. The overall price tag on Colon will have dropped to about $13.95MM at that point, meaning that an interested club would have to take on about $11.95MM of salary for eight months of Colon's pitching (not including any postseason innings, of course).
General manager Sandy Alderson isn't desperate to move Colon, Martino notes, so if he doesn't find an offer to his liking in the next week, he can simply hang onto Colon, as he did with Marlon Byrd last summer. (Byrd was eventually dealt to the Pirates in August.) The Mets are willing to wait until August, or even the offseason, to move the veteran right-hander, Martino writes. If the Mets really don't feel any pressure to trade Colon at this time, it's fair to wonder just how much Alderson would be willing to budge from that $2MM figure (one would assume, of course, that the Mets would be comfortable eating more salary if the other team paid a greater price in terms of prospects).
Colon's ERA has spiked from 2.65 in 2013 to 4.03 in 2014, though some metrics — xFIP (3.72 in '14, 3.95 in '13) and SIERA (3.76 in '14, 4.10 in '13) — feel he's actually been better than he was last season. That's likely due to an uptick in his strikeout rate and a slight improvement in his already outstanding walk rate. Colon struggled through his first six weeks with the Mets but has turned in a 2.98 ERA with a 62-to-14 K/BB ratio over his past 84 2/3 innings (12 starts).

Sally Bell
After an extended period of coping with illness, Mrs. Sally Bell passed away in her home on Saturday, July 10 at 7:00 p.m.
Mrs. Bell will be remembered for her dedication to the life of the church, particularly the Sunday School. She assumed leadership roles, first at Peoples Independent Church of Christ where she served as Superintendent for 11 years. She was also an alto in Albert McNeil's Cathedral Choir. She joined Grace United Methodist Church in 1973 and for 21 years was active in the Christian Education Department.
Memorial services are scheduled at the church this Saturday, July 17 at 11:00 a.m. The church is located at 4112 W. Slauson Avenue, west of Verdun. Pastor Rev. Paul Hill will officiate. For convenient parking, early arrival is suggested. In lieu of flowers, Mrs. Bell made a special appeal that donations are made to her favorite charity, Grace United Methodist Church Sunday School. Questions may be directed to the church office: 323/294-6653.

Packed with hilarious scenes that had me laughing out loud, Losing It is an easy to read book that is hard to put down. Wrapped in this brilliant comedy is the more serious change made by the protagonist, Millie, who loses some of her criticalness of others and herself, which perhaps is an important element of Helen Lederer's new 'Mid-Lit' genre as it is in mid-life.
So, please, indulge me as I hitherto invent a new genre of literary criticism and thrust it upon your unwitting and uninterested eyes. I call it a "pre-review review". I hear your teeth grind as you call me a "wally" and slap the back of your own neck in the hope you'll hit that "off-button" sweet-spot. Why not simply call it a "preview", like a sensible person?
So here I am, no longer in the world of generous advances. My book will have to work quite hard to earn its keep. But at least it's out there. Amazon is criticised for undermining bookshops. But if more novels see the light of day and more readers get to read them, that surely has to be a good thing, doesn't it?
Recently, there has been an explosion of A-List celebrities and YouTube megastars gaining their own book deals, with the likes of publishing giants such as Penguin. From teen idols Kendall and Kylie Jenner to online sensation Zoe Sugg, announcements seem to be springing up from everywhere about a new piece of fiction, written by your favourite pop star.
Self-publishing is a double-edged sword because, whilst it provides people with a direct route to market, some of the cheaper, automated publishers offer their services to absolutely anyone, regardless of the quality and presentation of the written work. This is where the problem lies, as it's not the content or the idea of self-published books that often lets it down, but the delivery...
The 70th anniversity of D-Day the centenary of the First World War pinpoint 2014 as a year of wartime nostalgia. Amongst fabulous stories of rebel veterans absconding from their care homes to Normandy and colourful re-enactment celebrations, one of the quieter questions being bartered around is 'do kids really know what's going on?.'

Features & handling
Amazon brand the Velbon Ultrek UT 43D as the yogapod and it's easy to see why. This model has such a flexible design that it can do a Salute to the Sun with ease! Peter Bargh takes hold and prepares to be spiritually enlightened. Mantras away...
Velbon Ultrek UT 43D Tripod: Features
The thing that makes the Velbon Ultrek UT 43D special is the 180° swivel legs. Where most tripod legs stop at anywhere between 20 and 90 degrees this one's go the whole hog and folds up on the centre column. This makes the tripod smaller when in its compact state. Smaller than most of its competitors, it's so compact it's able to fit into the top part of a medium sized camera rucksack, making it a go everywhere accessory.The tripod features the same Trunnion shaft system legs as the recently reviewed Velbon Ultra Rexi L but with six sections to allow an even greater maximum extended height of 156.5cm.
It comes with a QHD-53D ball & socket head with quick release platform, and a soft bag with shoulder strap.
Velbon Ultrek UT 43D Tripod: Handling
I must admit my emotions where a bit up and down with this tripod. The box it arrives in is as dull as they come. A dark blue coloured corregated affair with just a small label showing a photo and description of the tripod - yawn. When this is displayed on a shelf you'd probably walk by and miss it.But then opening the box reveals a dinky carrying case with tripod snuggled inside. How compact? You may suddenly want to run to the hills for some tripod photography.
Then I opened it out and saw the wonderful flexible 180° legs. This is cool. But then where's the release for the centre column? How does that retract? I soon found out it doesn't and that, in my mind, is a bit of a flaw. Having a centre column extended is not the best for stability. One hole in the middle of the legs and a locking nut is surely all it would take.
Then I extended the legs and they kept on coming. Jackpot... tiny, but huge.
I like ball & socket heads as they make it easy to get the camera quickly into any position and this one is no exception. I also like the large quick-release plate that can be inserted in any direction. Having used Manfrotto for years where you always have to remember to attach it to the camera the right way round (lens to the front) this is a treat. Also, unlike the recently reviewed Manfrotto MK3-P02, you don't need a coin to attach the plate to a camera as this one has a built in tightener.
Another interesting feature, that took me a while to work out, is the leg angle selector. It's spring loaded to offer three angles for the legs and once you know what you're doing (I should have looked at the instructions!). It's quick and easy to adjust for rock solid positions.
The quick release plate has a built in locking lever. |

Value For Money
The Velbon Ultrek UT 43D (£180, 35cm-156.5cm) doesn't come cheap at £179.99 but it doesn't have much competition in terms of features and design. Alternative compacts include, from its own stable, the Velbon Ultra Rexi L (£100, 36cm-153cm), the Gitzo GT1550T Series 1 Traveller (£481, 36cm-146cm), the Manfrotto MKC3-P02 (£49, 43cm-165cm), (Vanguard Nivelo 204SL (£49, 30cm-101cm), and at the budget end of the scale, the Hama Profil Duo III (£25, 53cm-150cm).Velbon Ultrek UT 43D Tripod: Performance
At first I was using the tripod like a conventional model with splayed legs and felt disappointed with the lowest height of 35cm, but then I realised you could ignore the leg angle selector and flatten the legs to 90 degree making the height 30cm. But even so the protruding centre column was still annoying... and then it clicked. If I angled the front two legs into a new yoga position I could angle the centre column down and get it close to the ground. And once I'd worked that out a new lease of life came. This tripod becomes incredibly versatile and you can shoot from a stable platform of around 9cm from the ground.The versatile yoga legs make it easy to shoot from a lower angle than the spec indicates. |
Not only that, when fully extended, which as I learned from the similar Rexi L is a super fast operation, this tripod is high enough for a five foot ten bloke not to have to stoop when looking through the camera viewfinder, so that will give me a few more years of pain free back/neck problems.
It's surprisingly stable considering the bottom leg section is less than 10mm thick.
Velbon Ultrek UT 43D Tripod: Verdict
At first I wasn't overly impressed with this model, but after a few minutes of becoming familiar with the features I began to warm to it. And once I started using it and discovered I could get it to a height way below the suggested spec sheet, the versatility doors opened. It allows me to shoot low lying subjects such as flowers and fungi and the maximum height, although not the sturdiest, allows me to shoot without stooping. If Velbon make the centre column adjustable (ideally split) it would add an extra layer of versatility.So overall a great model for the walker / traveller, but if compactness is less important I'd suggest you look at the Ultra Rexi L which is less expensive and has a more robust structure.

Since I started this, let me suggest that cities are not to everyone's tastes, and leave it at that. What I meant by civilized was not where I live, but where I visit the snow. It looks like this. My parents have a B&B in Yosemite. Hot tub, 20 minutes from a ski resort, and some of the best food I've had anywhere. Oh, and lots of family, and wine. My step-father also has excellent taste in whisky. See what I mean? Civilized. Now, can we get back to KF wings? |

Oh, and anybody with good KFm4 park jet data please post some more, willya? |
Dec 03, 2010, 04:06 PM | |
Insane! Not a KFm4 I take it, or foam! Something to shoot for, but EDF's and KFm'**', out of foam are obtained every day now thanks to all the ground work and experimenting that has been going on. Don't think you could relax for about 1 hour after flying that thing. Way cool and thanks for sharing. Fred |
Dec 03, 2010, 06:36 PM | |
Someone sent that to me as an interesting link, so I know nothing more than you can see there. And there is not much info there for sure.
I think a turbine powered plane with a mission something along the lines of the A-10 may work with a KFm wing because it accomplishes most of it's mission at lower air speeds. But I don't think any of the small turbines that are being used in RC are of the "turbofan" type and that is what is really needed if you want a jet that will fly slower with good power. Jack |
Dec 03, 2010, 07:30 PM | |
Check out this link in the Micro EDF Forum. It is an A-7 Corsair that Nitro Charged designed with a KFm2 airfoil. A more conventional wing planform over the delta wings that we know perform so well with KFm airfoils. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1241275 With a custom wound EDF 30mm, it's small, but performs great. The KFm airfoil has a minimal step as it is only foam stacked, with a carbon spar behind the top step. I guess that at such a small scale, and that this is a jet, the step height being minimal helps with all round speed and performance. This is no slow flyer BTW. There is a couple videos to see the speed range too. Fred |
Dec 03, 2010, 10:20 PM | |
That's a nice build, for sure. And a beautiful flier too. I just do not get excited about scale or scale-like builds and like things that fly best with slow fly props.
I don't think Geezerville Aerodrome is ever going to have hanger space for anything that flies that fast or that is that much work to build. My fondest memories of A7's (and F-8's and A-4's) are from watching them from vulture's row as they were prepped and launched from USS Hancock (CVA-19) during the Viet-Nam War. Jack |

thats a lovely little jet... Ive linked that at post131 on the KF builds thread... dont forget to put any other KF builds you find over there as well... dave

kfm2 wing maiden
Hello kfm peeps.
I flew my 33" blue baby today with a new kfm2 that I posted some pics on and asked some questions about. It went well. Biggest change overall was trying a small 3s 1100mah hyperion battery. Keeping the 27-12-12 blue wonder in place with the 10amp esc. I went for the large prop listed 9x4.7sf gws, and put a 90%limit on trl in case I forgot. What a difference. Climbed with authority, still needed up ele trim, weight I'm guessing. And would maintain level at about 5/8 trl as compared to 2s power needing 7/8ths. But the report on the wing so far is very good. See pics. It has dual ails so I started with .375 up and .125 down. Ail response was slow, but predictable, and biggest of all not much if any adverse yaw on turns without rudder input. The other big difference is end plates. Probly added lift and stability, but, I think they inhibit roll. It would not roll with modest ail limits. I increased and best I could get was 1 rev of roll for 3 to 4 seconds...(careful to have alt. first.) The kf3 that i tried last week did not have endplates and rolled relatively quickly. the kfm3 was 32" and this kfm2 is 36" I suppose that could have effect on roll rate maybe, not sure. I'm open for suggestions on increasing roll. I think I will try to trim end plates down a little. They are 1.25 tall by the time they reach T.E. both top and bottom. After trying for several batteries to make the 2s work, I justcouldnt get it to cooperate. Needed rudder, difficult to climb and maintain. I guess I have to save them for when the UC wing goes back on. The last flight with the 3s was a joy, hard s turns, hammerheads, figure 8 turns, large radius cuban 8s and pretty nice immelmans. I even tried a little inverted flight...None of these manuvers were clean or proper aerobatic form, still working on that. Tough for a new guy in the wind, but the point is, the plane will do it.! Still working on ail diff settings, but I am looking forward to trying new things with the flexibility of a programable radio. Can someone give a brief definition and use of flaperons? And what does the basic formula look like when programing this mix.? I guess I could search it. Thanks for the help, I think I'm going to like flying this one when the wind finally dies down next week. Pat. |

Have you ever experienced that as soon as you dedicate yourself deeper and perhaps even decide to move to the next level of your flow journey (for example with regards to creating more joy, flow and purpose in your work) disaster strikes – so very unexpected! It's a highly disheartening and also confusing experience: Why now? Shouldn't the Universe / God / Source / Self / One be rewarding your dedication? Shouldn't it be encouraging you? Shouldn't it be supporting you? Shouldn't it at the very least be giving you the proof that you're on the right path? How are you supposed to go with the flow where there is none? It can make you feel like what you have suspected all your life, deep down. That something is wrong with you, after all. That you can never really succeed. That you will never see your dreams come true. That you can never really get what you want. Others may, and do, apparently. But not you. It can be so overwhelming that you find it hard to find the energy to continue. Or even see which way to go from here. Or even see any purpose to it at all. I believe that there is a meaning and a purpose to what happens and why it happens this way. And the reason is certainly not that there is something wrong with you! In a situation like this the reason is that for you to move on in the direction that you want, for you to move to the next level, you need to prepare. Whatever that next level means to you, unlike the fluffy dreams that the world is so full of, "the next level" most certainly means not only greater gifts but also bigger responsibilities and challenges. It may require:
The challenges, limitations, blockages you experience help you deal with these or similar issues. In that way the challenges prepare you for the next level. Also, it is a great way for you to find out – to test so to speak – whether you really mean what you say. Because dedicating yourself to a purpose internally is one thing. Doing it in the world – being willing to deal with the challenges it means in terms of external choices and actions – that's something else. Yes, God / Universe / Self / Source / One does support you still, as always. Because you are part of it. It supports you in strengthening your foundation so that you are able to deal with the increased challenges of a more expansive living. It supports you in uncovering whatever fear and doubts may be lurking and preventing you from moving on and going with a greater flow. And it supports you in learning a different, more focused and yet flowing way of life that is required for that next level. So if your dedication feels true – don't give up. Stay the course. Adjust to however your life is unfolding here and now. Take care of whatever needs to be taken care of here and now. Even if you don't quite understand why it happens. You need to flow with what is and towards what shall be, including challenges. You need to integrate the inner work with the outer work, the old with the new. Do whatever needs to be done – and accept whatever supports you through the process. Flow~Integration SupportKeep the joy flowing: Share this with friends, on Facebook, Twitter... |

Pain-free start good news for Chacin, Rockies
Righty feels fine after tossing 1 2/3 innings vs. Arizona
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Leaving the mound without pain made Thursday afternoon a success for Rockies right-hander Jhoulys Chacin. He'll worry about sharpness as Spring Training continues.
Rotator cuff and labrum damage limited Chacin to 11 starts last season. In his 2015 Cactus League debut on Thursday afternoon against the D-backs, Chacin gave up two runs on two hits and a walk in 1 2/3 innings. It was his first game action since last June 28, when he gave up 11 hits and seven runs in 5 2/3 innings of a loss at Milwaukee.

The statement is on file in he U.S. District Court for Maryland in behalf of the ieutenants who sought and ob- :ained Army discharge as con- scientious objectors. At School Francis T. Reitemeycr and Michael J. Conn were attending combat intelligence school at Ft. Holahird in Baltimore when they sought discharge after re- ceiving orders for Vietnam last December and January. William 11. Zinman, their Baltimore lawyer, said Thurs- day he is sending a copy to several senators of a statement ire had filed last Feb. 14. .It was a written offer to prove that instruction to each officer, tllal he "might actually be re- quired to maintain a kill quota" of 50 Viet Cong sympathizers a month helped "crystalline" their "abhorrance to participa- lion in war in any form." Reitemeyer and Cohn, both about 25 years old, were not called to testify under oath on their allegations of hiring killers because Judge Frank A. Kaufman decided they had sup- ported their conscientious objector claims without it. Now in Vietnam Zinman snid Reifemeyer and Cohn were in a class of 48 of- ficers at Ft. Holabird and presumably most of the others now are in Vietnam. The statement said they were officially instructed they were to be American advisers in the "Phoenix Program" when they arrived in Vietnam. The paper for each petitioner continued: "The 'Phoenix Program' was described to him as a policy of the United States govern- ment which sought the elimina- tion and destruction of the Communist 'infra structure' in South Vietnam. "Your petitioner was in- formed that he would be one of many Army officers des- ignated os an adviser whose function it was to supervise and to pay with funds from an undisclosed source 18 mercen- aries, probably Chinese, none of whom would be officers or enlisted men of the U.S. mili- tary, who would be explicitly directed by him and other ad- visers to find, capture, and-or kill as many Viet Corjg and Viet CODE sympathizers within a piven number of small villages as was possible under, the circumstances. Male or Female 'Viet Cong were meant tc sympathizers include any male or''femaie civilians of any age in a position of authority or influence in the village who were politically loyal or simply agreement with the Viet Cong or their objectives.

Shipp said there will be th-jn renewal registration slips mailed this year, plus camper declaration slips. Last year, there were over registration slips. You'll receive a license sticker to vali- date your motor vehicle license for 1970. For the camper, you'll receive a decal. The camper declaration is being sent out because mobile home owners complained about being taxed for owning mobile homes, and because all proper- ty in the state is subject to taxation, according. to Shipp and (he Department Proper- ty Valuation. The only properly exempted is tliat specifically slated in the constitution.

Senate Oks It by Vote Of 69-22 By JOK JIAI.T, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has overwhelmingly passed its veto-threatened tax reform bill, sending it to a conference committee where House members wait with their own quite different version. The conference committee has a heavy, chore in reconciling Ihe but lending members of both delegations say they ex- pect to come up with a compro- mise President Nixon can sign. Tile Senate, which ended al- most a fortnight of debate by approving the bill 69-22 Thurs- day afternoon, sparked Nixon's ire by providing n 15 per cent increase In Social Security bene- fits nnd .1 boost in personal in- come tax exemptions from J600 to No The House bill makes no pro- iston for cither matter, al- hough that chamber is consid- ring a separate Social Security roposal. Opponents railed vaJnly igalnst the bill Thursday, charging its differences between ax relief and revenue gain amount to more'than 55 billion and is fiscally irresponsible. It was this cost that Nixon cited when ho said he will veto the bill it it's unchanged. However, It seems certain thff 15 per cent Social Security bene- fit boost, and many olhdr of the tax breaks will bo retained ci- ther in, the-tax bill or In sep- arate legislation.

The House version provides a cut in Income tax rates begin- ning in 1371. fay Git Nixon contends a tax cut in 1970 would hurt his fight against inflation and would take too much out of the Treasury. The Senate's 15 per cent increase in Social Security benefits and a provision raising the minimum payment from 555 a month per individual to 5100 both exceed the President's suggested total 10 per cent increase in benefits.

As of this posting, we can only point to the press release, because no news source has written a story yet (though, I'm sure plenty will be coming), but Amazon.com today launched the ability to do full text searches of books. For example, want to know what books mention Techdirt? There you go. This seems like it could be quite useful in some areas (though, less useful if you're searching for anything too common). Once you've found the books that mention the word in question, you can also see a scan of that page. Update: Wired Magazine had an article coming out with lots of details about the system, and it looks like they just rushed it live, to take advantage of the launch. It appears that this is the first result that came out of Amazon's A9 search subsidiary that got so much publicity last month. There's an interesting legal question raised in the article. Amazon claims they didn't need to get copyright holders permission to scan in thousands of books, because they're not actually offering up an archive of books. You can see an image of the scanned page, but not download the whole thing. They're also pointing out that this is likely to get more people to buy books, so copyright holders should be happy. Of course, this sounds vaguely similar to the argument MP3.com made many years ago when they tried to create their huge library of MP3 files. It will be interesting to see how copyright holders react. Update 2: Well, now, despite what the Wired article claims, the press release says that they only scanned books where they had the publisher's permission, so it's possible the legal issue won't come up.

Re: credit card
Mike, you are probably logged in to Amazon so they know who you are and have your card number. However, if you are not a customer they require you to create an account and provide a credit card number before you can see the book pages.
The page says "By publishers' agreement, we are pleased to offer Amazon.com customers with a valid credit card the ability to view coprighted pages."
There is no explanation why they need your credit card. -
Beck, Oct 23rd, 2003 @ 1:50pm
Re: credit card
Maybe they need the credit card information to make it easier to sue and collect from all of the new copyright infringers that this will create.
However the pages appear to be locked down to prevent infringement. The right mouse click seems to be disabled to prevent copy/paste of the scanned image, and you can't view the page source (at least not in IE) in order to get the URL of the scanned image. -
Re: credit card

Copyright Issue
From what I've read, they scanned only works where they had an explicit agreement with the publisher/copyright holder. And the crux of that agreement is that the purpose is searching, not information providing, thus continuing the business of booksellers and book producers.
I can certainly foresee a day, however, when this agreement falls to the wayside and the first real digital library opens...

Re: jobs I would not want
Actually, in searching through some books, I've already found at least one case where their OCR software isn't very good. I did a search and it found a result that was included in a bunch of gibberish, so I went and looked at the page, and it was completely different than the gibberish text it had shown on the search results page.

When, in November 2010, Barack Obama reflected on the "shellacking" that was the Democrats' disastrous performance in mid-term elections, even his notorious and unnerving self-confidence must have admitted to the possibility that he would be a one-term president.

Matt Lauer Disappointed by Media's 'Laziness' in Ann Curry Coverage
The "Today" host tells Esquire he didn't think he should complain about it and reveals something else he claims has never been reported correctly.
More than a year after Ann Curry's controversial exit from NBC's Today show, Matt Lauer says he's still disappointed by the media's coverage of what happened with his former co-host.
"I was disappointed by the laziness of the media, the willingness to read a rumor, repeat that rumor and treat it as a fact," Lauer tells Esquire.
But Lauer says he didn't think he should complain about it.

"Does anyone want to see a person who's making the money that the newspapers say I'm making complaining, 'Woe is me, my life is terrible, and people are being unfair'? No one would've had any patience for that. I wouldn't have any patience for that. So you just shut up and go about doing your job and hope that people who know you well -- your friends and your family -- know what's true," he says.
Lauer doesn't reveal the rumor that upset him or what the true story is, but several outlets reported that Lauer was the one who forced Curry to leave the show.
He does say that the media have never correctly reported the amount of money he makes either. For the record, shortly before Curry left the show, The Hollywood Reporter said he re-signed with Today for $25 million a year for four years.
