The Sharp Edge of the Tool
While on the recent Point A trip, a hybrid group of Catalonyians and Acorn-affiliates met in the cozy basement room of a bodywork studio in Brooklyn. Paxus introduced this group of charismatic New Yorkers and communards to the transparency tools.
The Catalysts are an incredibly clever bunch. These folks know that if they do a good job crafting their agreements and cultural fabric, they can create an amazing eco-village. And while they are a fundamentally fun loving and playful crowd, community building is difficult work and they have been hard at it. Especially drafting written agreements- for everything. For land ownership, for the membership process, for the types of cottage industries that might happen, the mission statement- the tasks go on and on. Important, complex and often slogging work.
This is not actually what this group of people wants to be doing. What they want to be doing is falling in love. This is where the transparency tools come in.
I have experience with some of the transparency tools used, as I used to be part of a meditation community in DC in which we met 2x a month to have a sit followed by a discussion.
Often in this format and during retreats (which happen twice a year) we used the "If you really knew me…" and Hot Seat tools. I've already witnessed how effective they can be in bringing a group together, and it was no different with the Catalysts.
Frequently when starting, it takes a round or two of "If you really knew me" statements for everyone to start to open up. What was so beautiful about this night in particular was each person became transparent almost immediately. People were sharing their stories with each other so willingly and with so much faith that the group wanted to hear them.
We transitioned from "If you really knew me" statements to Hot Seats, the Catalysts asking questions and Paxus explaining the benefits of the many tools.
Due to the wacky Point A trip agenda and time constraints, we were only able to fit in three 5-minute Hot Seats. The group did an excellent job being clear with their questions and answers, and everyone involved continued to be engaged.
To wrap up the evening, Paxus began to explain the tools that go beyond being personally transparent and begin to create transparency in relationships. Specifically, these tools are Unsaids and Withholds. These tools can create space for resolution of conflict as well as giving members an opportunity to appreciate one another. They are also notoriously tricky.
This point in the evening is when things really got interesting. Despite Pax expecting to solely explain Unsaids/Withholds and not try to do any that evening, members of the group began to use the tools without any hesitation. Several conflicts were put on the path to resolution within ten minutes, with the tools used practically flawlessly.
What then evolved seemingly naturally- after what could be seen as complaining or criticism of the Withholds- was the graceful move into appreciations, which were equally rich and revealing. As we left it was clear the group wanted more. The Point A crowd- which are in some sense carpetbaggers from Virginia trying to build community in NYC- felt like we had really done our job.
UVA Rape Protest Trial
I have always wanted to hang a jury. I have been fortunate that all my court appearances (except the Acorn Arson) have been elective – I chose to get arrested. But I have never had a real chance to hang a jury, until today. I have been guilty of dozens of trespass charges against me and I have never argued that point. To hang a jury I need to get at least one positive answer to the question "Has the injustice I am fighting directly impacted at least one member of the jury intimately?" For nuclear power or a pending war the jury is usually quite removed from these issues.
Today I was on trial for our highly publicized arrests at the UVA fraternities last November protesting their support and participation in rape culture. Someone on this jury has been touched by this crime. Some sister or daughter or dear friend has been sexually assaulted and this juror has watched helplessly as their loved ones' life unraveled.
I desperately wanted to remind this juror of their pain and their frustration with the broken legal system which oppressed their intimate and generally ignores this crime. I wanted to beg them, in the name of their friend, to see past the trivial trespass and instead see how this court, police and culture helps perpetuate this problem. I wanted to call for the system to be put on trial, not me.
Tragically, the odds would be heavily in my favor. Statistically, with twelve jurors, my chances that at least one of them would have gone through this ordeal are nearly 100%. Sexual assault is endemic in the US and the powers that be are mostly uninterested in addressing it in any meaningful way.
Sadly, I did not do it today. Fighting in the courts is a long and time consuming process. Judges are quite resistant to cases looking outside the specifics of the charges before them. And the court fees associated with a failed not guilty plea would exceed $1000 because the defendant must pay the jury stipend. This is a chunk of change on the commune stipend. Instead, like my co-defendants I plead guilty and was given 44 hours of community service. At the trial I read the following statement:
For our non-violent protest against rapes at UVA we were swiftly arrested. Yet repeated reports of sexual assaults on campus are ignored by the university and Charlottesville police department. I plan to do my community service for an organization which is working to address this injustice.
The first time i got arrested I made friends with an impressive man named Louis Corn. He was in his 70s and had been arrested many times for protest. When I asked him why, he said "Well, this body is not much good for hard work no more. But I can still throw it onto an unjust state." I don't do that much hard physical work, but I am looking forward to the day when I can take the chance my inspiring old friend did regularly and try to hang a jury and embolden others to fight for justice.
The Elephant and the Bee
It is busy season.
Most of my days start the same way. Jah and i find each other somewhere between his blueberry pancakes (he often does a breakfast shift, despite the fact we have no agreement anyone will cook breakfast) and the smoke shack at Acorn. We go into the seed picking room and stare down a huge collection of orders. Then, we sort them, taking the smallest ones (typically 5 items or less) and put them in one pile the rest in another.
Now our dance begins. Jah and i spin around the seed picking room, grabbing orders and dodging each other. Jah is especially good with large orders, strong solid picking. The nature of small orders is that you are running around the room a bunch and (if you are like me) trying to fill several orders as once, so you can avoid doubling back.
Jah is the elephant knocking down huge trays of seeds. I am the bee, buzzing around him and flying around the room. We move with haste, people get bumped into occasionally and brushed up against all the time, it's is just what is happening in the busy seed picking office early in the morning. We are regulars, but there are lots of people in the picking room these days. The late night crew picked orders at 2 AM this morning. Aster, Sunshine and Jah were part of that. Para and Lola were in this morning with us. Picking seeds for orders is the beginning of our order fulfillment process.
Anyone who has worked in the tofu hut (or has studied industrial engineering) knows that the first step of the assembly line is the heartbeat of the entire process. The full line can't go any faster. And the speed of the first step often drives the speed of the entire line. We want to pick everything that comes in during the say the same day. This insures that the shippers (who make custom bundles for mailing of our picked orders) are always busy, if there is anything for them to process. Jah and i are determined to keep the picking room heartbeat thumping right along.
Sales are up. We are picking and packing much faster (in part because some packing is being done by the new seed packing robot, which some of us are referring to as HAL) than previous years. Almost all the varieties are in stock. Ken and Irena and Charlotte are making sure all varieties are packed and ready for us (which is why there are so few numbers on the daily Unpickable Seeds sheets depicted below). It feels like a well oiled machine.
And it feels like an anarchist Utopian dream. Almost all the workers are self assigning almost all the time. There are people, like Irena, Ira, Ken and myself who almost always have tasks which people can help with. Sometimes we are approached, other times we approach people. And especially during this season, when everyone is hustling, almost everyone says "yes" most of the time when asked if they can help. [Ken points out that accountability of task work also helps us maintain quality. At each step the worker records what they did so that workers further down the chain can gently inform folks earlier in the process about mistakes they made. ]
The structure is almost as flat as it can be. It is trust based, so there are no time clocks. It is trust based, so no one is telling you to work faster or longer. It is trust based, so you need to do your own quality control. It is trust based, so for most people the only person who really knows if you are doing your share is you. And it all mostly works.
People work because it is clear there is lots of work to do. People work because we make most of the money the community needs and uses in these few months. People work because the work is super pleasant and relaxed and better than any light physical work than anyone ever had before they got here, and there is this distant fear that if we don't all do our parts here, some of us might end up back there in jobs which were considerably less wonderful. People work because they can stop when they like and switch jobs when they want to. People work because they want to show up in community as a contributor to this thing that they believe in.
Turns out the money thing is not all it is cracked up to be.
By David Solnit
A few years back I did research on today's namesake St. Valentine– an anti-war outlaw of sorts. Here's what I found:
We may owe our observance of Valentine's Day to the Roman celebration of Lupercalia, a festival of eroticism that honored Juno Februata, the goddess of "feverish" (febris) love. Annually, on the ides of February, love notes or "billets" would be drawn to partner men and women for feasting and frolicking.
In an effort to do away with the pagan festival, Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of women, the box would contain the names of saints. Both men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to emulate the ways of the saint they drew during the rest of the year. Needless to say, many of the young Romans were not too pleased with the rule changes. Instead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable patron saint of love to take his place. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who, in AD 270 had been beheaded by Emperor Claudius.
Claudius had determined that married men made poor soldiers. So he banned marriage from his empire. But Valentine would secretly marry young couples that came to him. When Claudius found out about Valentine, he first tried to convert him to paganism. But Valentine reversed the strategy, trying instead to convert Claudius. He failed and was imprisoned.
During the days that Valentine was imprisoned, he fell in love with the blind daughter of his jailer. His love for her, and his great faith, managed to miraculously heal her from her blindness before his death. Before he was taken to be beheaded, he signed a farewell message to her, "From your Valentine." The phrase has been used on his day ever since.
Exotic Commune Game Rules
"Is this a friendly game?"
This question gets asked with some regularity where i live, and it has a unique and very specific meaning here. For most of the games we play, it means that we are going to be forgiving when people make mistakes or want to change their move/play. Specifically, it means that if no other game decision has been made by another player, you can go backwards and fix your play on your turn and not be penalized for it.
Occasionally this is frustrating, especially in a game like Dominion, where you might have preferred the inferior play of your opponent, before they got help with their play (either by figuring it out themselves or thru a helpful co-player). And this begs the question, what is the role for "friendly" in competitive gaming culture. i would argue it is huge. In fact, it is more important that people feel good about the game, especially after it is over, than it is that we play by especially rigid rules.
And for "serious gamers" the situation gets worse in games like Magic, where we have Armenian Rules. At the risk of being deemed racist, this rule is at the center of much of the "friendly" play at Twin Oaks and Acorn. The way the Armenian Rule works is if you are manna starved in a particular hand in Magic, you can, by your own determination, draw a land instead of your normal card from the draw.
We also permit the "paradise Mulligan". Some games permit players who draw a poor or initially unplayable hand to shuffle the cards back into the deck and draw a new hand. Normal Mulligan rules in Magic, for example, are that when you draw your second hand you get one few card. This is a tax for your bad luck or poor deck design. In friendly games we are not interested in bad luck taxes, so you can just draw another full seven card hand. And if you bad luck continues you can draw another one, and so on.
Serious gamers retort that these types of rules are just an excuse to build a badly designed deck, and that if people built better decks this would not happen. And they are on some level right. And since Magic can be an expensive game to build decks for, by using Armenian rules and paradise Mulligans, poor communards need not invest hugely in specific cards that might make the deck work better.
But more importantly, as with most games, Magic is more fun if the score is actually close. Having one player stuck early in the game damages the game for everyone: it degrades the win, it is harder to learn anything, it can discourage you from future games.
We have something of a mix here at Twin Oaks and Acorn. Some folks are uninterested in who has the most points, but rather are in the game so that they can they play some lovely combination of cards or strategy. Most players are excited about a close game, where you have to think hard or get lucky to pull it out in the end. Some folks believe that adhering to the rules makes the games more fair and a truer test of skill.
And in the end it brings up the more philosophical questions as to what is the purpose of games. Some will trivialize them as a waste of time, others will point to them as a social lubricant, i use some games pedagogically. I think most players simply enjoy them, which might just be enough all by itself.

Vulture House at Freedonia
The new kids on the block are actually the old kids from the block, they are just back with a very politically potent offer which will hopefully be a new direction for the squatting movement – but i am getting ahead of myself, let's begin at the beginning.
Freedonia is awesome. They have pioneered a new approach to squatting which makes it more resilient. They have tricked the police into giving them abandoned buildings. They host clever workshops, feed local and poor people for free and throw bad ass parties. All in an undisclosed location, in the shadow of serious urban decay, somewhere on the east coast of the US, far from anywhere Dick Cheney would think of hanging out.
An adventurous group of Freedonians (which is quite redundant phrase actually) set off on a bike tour to New Orleans. They called themselves the Vultures. There were puppet shows, there were narrow escapes from the police, there were complex polyamorous topographies – all the good things you would expect from our intrepid travelers. And there were lots of talks around open fires about how to step things up back in Freedonia.
Normal people would have looked at the impressive accomplishments of this full featured set of squats and said "well, we have done quite enough and we are already impressive and sustainable just the way we are". But the Vultures would not know normal if it came at them with a knife (i'd bet on the Vultures in this fight though, normal don't got a chance).
They decided they would kick it up a level and start income sharing. They returned from their bike tour, promptly broke into a house not far from their original places (which they had let others move into while they were on the bike tour and they did not want them to leave when they returned) and squatted it. And thus Vulture House was born.
They then offered to all of the other Freedonians to join them in this income sharing adventure. Readers of this blog will not be surprised that i think sharing and especially income sharing are instrumental in saving the world. We don't know how many other local squatters will bite, but the Vultures are pretty compelling.
Stay tuned for more tales of intrepid revolutionaries from undisclosed locations.

FORT GORDON, Ga. -- A man was struck and killed along Chamberlain Avenue at Fort Gordon Monday afternoon.
According to Fort Gordon officials, a specialist from Headquarters 15th Signal Brigade was driving his vehicle west on Chamberlain Avenue when the vehicle veered over the right side curb. It then went across the road to the left into oncoming traffic where it struck a vehicle traveling east. The vehicle then bounced off that vehicle and continued on Chamberlain Avenue. It left the road and crossed the sidewalk where the 62-year-old man was trying to get out of the path of the vehicle. The vehicle eventually came to a stop, striking a fence.
CPR was performed on the victim at the scene before he was taken to Eisenhower Army Medical Center. He was pronounced dead at 3:20 p.m. by emergency room personnel.
The two soldiers in the vehicles are being treated for non-life threatening injuries. The entire incident is being investigated by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID).
The name of the victim has not been released at this time but they say he was a Department of the Army civilian employee.

Anxiety, Drooling May Be Early Signs Of Parkinson's Disease, Study Suggests
Tuesday January 22, 2013
Huffington Post - Before the classic movement problems of Parkinson's disease appear, more benign-seeming symptoms -- such as anxiety and drooling -- may occur, according to a new study in the journal Neurology.
"These results show that Parkinson's affects many systems in the body, even in its earliest stages," study researcher Tien K. Khoo, Ph.D., of the UK's Newcastle University, said in a statement. "Often these symptoms affect people's quality of life just as much if not more than the movement problems that come with the disease. Both doctors and patients need to bring these symptoms up and consider available treatments."
For the study, researchers asked 159 people who had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's -- as well as 99 age-matched people without Parkinson's -- to report whether they'd experienced any of 30 potential non-motor symptoms. These issues ranged from problems sleeping, to digestive issues, to sexual problems.
Researchers found that the people who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's experience an average of eight of these problems, while those without Parkinson's experienced an average of three problems.
The most common symptoms experienced by the people with Parkinson's included drooling (56 percent of people with Parkinson's, versus 6 percent without the condition), constipation (experienced by 42 percent of people with Parkinson's, compared with 7 percent without the condition), and anxiety (experienced by 43 percent of people with Parkinson's, compared with 10 percent of those without the condition).
Parkinson's disease affects up to 1 million people in the U.S., and about 60,000 people are diagnosed with the condition each year in this country, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. Signs usually include tremors, problems with walking, muscle stiffness, slowed movement, changes in speaking and the loss of the ability to do "automatic movements" (like blinking), the Mayo Clinic reported, though early signs of Parkinson's can be so slight that they go unnoticed.

HiFiGuy528 posted this on the other K702 thread
He wrote that midrange and a little more bass are the 2 most obvious things that are differ compared to Q701
I think I'll take my 65's and go to the local hifi store to do the comparison myself. Not sure if they have K702's or Q701's in stock but I'm sure they have K701's. I also found the comfortability changes and overall smoothness to be the most obvious differences between the 65's and K702's (brief comparison).
K701 and Q701 have more upfront sig than K702, which are slightly laid back and this is where some have criticism, cos they found them lacking bass and impact, but this all depends on recording, how it's been made, and I hear this very clear. If your system are not analytical and the record sounds analogue enough then K702 are smooth and do not lack any bass, at least for my taste they don't.
So, guessing again, but I think that 65s are now more upfront sounding than original version and that's why midrange and lower end are more present.
Would be very interesting if you can compare your Ann vs. K702 or maybe even K701 and Q701.
There is also the burn in issue, and your description remind me how my 702's sounds before the burn in, and after. I mean at first the K702's sounds upfront, and after 300 hours they do open and sounds more balanced and slightly laid back.
Comparing a new 65s to 702's with over 350 burn in hours will be a bit unfair, even if the drivers or the pads are different.
I have to emphasize that my own impressions (posted here earlier) are only for straight out of the box headphones. Can't really comment on how the burn in affects the sound. This should also be kept in mind if I do go and compare my 65's against the 701/702's.
I hope you can compare them soon, come back with more please.
I went to the local hifi store this morning and spend around half an hour to do some side by side comparison between the 65's and K701's (they didn't have any other K/Q models in stock).
The 701's have kind of spring foam pads which return their shape immediately after pressing them. They are also clearly angled. The pads of 65's are filled with memory foam which retain the shape they are being pressed much longer. The pads of 65's are not angled and the bumps in the head band are now gone. I found the 65's to be noticeably more comfortable and I got better sealing with the 65's. The 65's also isolated ambient noise more efficiently, which is probably due to the more efficient noise damping properties of the memory foam (not huge difference, but noticeable enough). The cups of the 65's felt physically more intimate and the drivers seemed to be closer to your ear. I didn't actually measure the dimensions of the cups but since the pads of K701's are angled it is plausible that the pad thickness differs between these two. Needless to say but the flat head band of 65's is way better than the bumpy one.
Before analyzing the sound differences, I'd like to quote Hifiguy's impressions from the other thread. "I compared the Q702 vs. K702 ANV, I can't say that they sound "different". The basic signature is the same. I do find the midrange on ANV is slightly smoother with less edge. Bass is a little fuller. Yes, if you like a more comfy fit, slightly smoother sound and you fanboy. Otherwise, go with the lessor cost standard version."
My own observations of 65 vs K701 were in some parts pretty much on par with what hifiguy wrote. I also found that the basic sound signature was similar, except that the 65's didn't have so clear and edgy mids/highs and the overall sound was smoother (I would assume the mids and highs of 701's settle after proper burn in, but the 65's have pretty smooth sound straight out of the box). The bass, however, was the part where I found the most striking differences between these two. The bass of 701's was very good, but just not optimal for all the genres I listen. I'm not a basshead but I want my headphones to be versatile enough so I can enjoy all of my music without having to change headphones between listening sessions. Ice Cube's Supreme Hustle, for example, sounded WAY better with the 65's because of the more aggressive bass. This being said, during this listening session the 65's never sounded inferior to 701's or had too much bass (even though I tried several music styles including Ice Cube, Adele, Allan Taylor and Dave Matthews Band).
I started the comparison by listening Dave Matthews Band's Mercy and Gravedigger. I started the songs over and over again with each headphones and found the soundstage to be pretty similar. My initial impressions at the HiFiExpo were that 65's lose some of the airness as compared to K702's but now both of these headphones had very airy sound. I did, however, notice some differences and felt like I was listening fully open cans with the 701's and semi-open cans with 65's (this is probably due to the memory foam). The 65's felt louder with the same volume levels but I didn't concentrate on this enough to be sure (if the 65 drivers come indeed closer to your ear in then it explains the louder sound). With this kind of music the bass of 701's is perfectly good. With 65's I got warmer colour to the sound but it wasn't too noticeable. I would even say that the bass line was separated better with the 701's, but the kicks and overall feeling were a bit too cold and distant for my taste. The 65's seemed to have softer roll from low frequencies to midrange which probably helped creating the impression of a smoother sound. I think some people won't like this especially if they feel that the increased smoothness comes with the cost of crispness. With 701's the midrange felt a little bit too bright at times, which is one of the reasons I prefer the sound of 65's. The bright mids and highs gets more justice when there is more action in the bass department IMO. Not too bright not too warm but good balance. Vocals were amazing on both headphones.
I changed to Ice Cube's Supreme Hustle and the 65's really shined. The sound was lush, full and packed with detail. The owner of the hifi store wanted to test the 65's and was also impressed with the sound. We did some comparison during the song by changing the headphones on the fly and the differences were pretty obvious. You'd have to be half deaf to not hear the differences. I can't say for sure but for me the differences just feel too big to result merely from the new memory foam non-angled pad design. After a while the owner said that we should actually compare the 65's to the K550's since they are probably closer in sound. This is something I have to agree. I own 550's and have to say that the sound of 65's are pretty close to the sound of 550's (yes closer than 701's). The owner said that the 701's felt a bit thin after returning from 65's and that he would definitely pay 200 euros extra on top of the 550's to get the 65's. The 550's and 65's are similar sounding but the 65's do everything just a little bit better. More comfortable + more balanced, detailed and open sound.
I guess in the end it just boils down to what kind of sound you prefer. If you have tried K/Q701/2's and found the sound to be good but somewhat too bright and lacking bass (impact), these are definitely the headphones for you. If you liked the K/Q701/2's but found the head band or the the pads to be disappointing, these are the headphones for you. If you need to wear classes while listening music and don't get proper seal with K/Q701/2's, try 65's (or even better 550's). If you sold your old K/Q701/2's and are now thinking of buying them back again, test these first. If you can get these at around 350-400 euros, buy! (definitely worth the money and are way better cans than lets say HE400's). If you don't mind the bumps and love the sound of your K/Q701/2's, these are probably not worth upgrading. All I can say is that if you have the chance to try these cans I would suggest not to pass the opportunity.
This is all I can say at this point. Hope this helps!
If you can get these at around 350-400 euros, buy! (definitely worth the money and are way better cans than lets say HE400's).
Big statement here. Have you listen to the HE-400s? If so give us your impressions on both.
Yes I have but not really in-depth side by side. It was at the same expo where I first listened the 65's. There were full line of Hifimans present and I tested them all starting from the cheapest model moving my way into the most expensive ones. What I remember is that the HE500's were the first model that I considered to seriously compete against the 65's. The HE400 sound seemed to be in good balance but didn't inspire me too much so I skipped them relatively fast. They were also heavy and didn't seal very well. They just kind of hanged on your head without any support and left leakage points to the bottom of the earcups. Nothing in their sound really striked me in negative way but they didn't wow me either. The best headphones in the expo were definitely HE500's, HE-6's, T1's, 65's and HD800's IMO. The HE400's and 65's are in the same price range and for that money I would definitely recommend 65's. Maybe I overstated when saying that the 65's are way better but from my experiences they are definitely better. Sorry for not being able to give more detailed impressions, but I promise if I ever come in contact with them again I sure do will take more time with them.
That's cool. Good looking out.
However, If your looking for the WOW factor. I'll say the 400s would give it to you before the 500s will. Why? The 400s are tilted towards the bass region and the 500s are not, more flat across the board. Well, I guess if you seek out mid bass and deep sub bass response the 400s will give you that.
I agree, I like the 500s better anyway, and the 5LEs better than the 500s, and the HE-6 better than all
I would like to get my hands on a pair of the HE-4s. My next headphone will be the 65s though.. If I don't find a pair of K501s first..
It's hard to pinpoint where I get the WOW feeling but sometimes you just listen something and immediately get charmed by the sweet sounds. Of course personal preferences play major role, but to some extent you can definitely say which headphones are good and which are not. I'm always looking for the natural and easy to listen kind of balanced sound. The music that I listened with the HE400s was some blues in medium tempo. I love blues but for detailed impressions I would like to listen familiar songs and do the possible comparisons in same amplifier. I hope you get the chance to test 65s before buying (if you haven't already). I don't want to hype too much, but the 65s are very light and comfortable cans which sound pretty damn awesome. The replaceable cable and pads are also big plus. I already bought akg mini xlr 5m cable to use in the living room since the 3m cable doesn't reach the couch :)
Don't worry about any hype - I don't subscribe to that much. I'm an AKG fan already. So I'm cool buying the 65s before testing. I like the 601s Q701s enough to do so.. I like to get my headphones hard wired - I have all balanced amps anyway..
Where'd you get it? Been meaning to get one to reach my av-system as well.
St. Paul's Sound. Don't know the quality of the cable but it was akg cable for sure. 5m coiled and cost around 20 euros. Actually had to straighten it up for a while to reach the coach. Too bad they didn't have straight cables in stock back then.
Checked them out and they still don't. I don't really like coiled cables.. Heavy and tend to pull light headphones off your head. Well, it's mini-xlr so I'll probably find something :)

I did CG and incidence change both at the same time. I still have 1.25 oz lead in the nose. I think there is something going on with the way the stock model is setup. The CG should not change unless the aerodynamics change and a slow flying version with the nose up may have quite a difference downwash pattern over the wing hitting the tail and when adding the upgraded power the aerodynamics are changing as well as the model is now more nose down. Just a guess on my part as I have never had a model do this before.

I'm slowly building mine. Going to be running it with the wemo/don's 5400 kv combo on 1800mah 3S. Also did the mod with the dual aileron servo on top. Oh and I'm planning on glassing the wing with some .7 oz fiberglass and WBPU and maybe some carbon fiber tow for added stiffness(still debating the carbon fiber) |
May 02, 2010, 11:27 PM | |
It dawned on me today that I do not have my tanks installed on my model. Those tanks will have a nose down pitching effect associated with them. I am not using them so do not have this and this may be the root cause of the issue.
Latest blog entry: Indoor Free Flight columnist for Model...
May 02, 2010, 11:29 PM | |
Hmm. I don't have mine on either. I imagine the specified CG was determined with the tanks on. Wouldn't have figured they had that much of an effect though.
I have it re-balanced at ~95mm. I had to add 1.5 oz of lead in the nose to do it. I have not yet had a chance to fly as the weather has been crap. |
May 05, 2010, 03:44 AM | |
Well, I got her up today. There was a little wind, but I couldn't wait. Had a partner give it a good toss and up she went.
CG seemed pretty good. I had it balanced dead on at 95mm (with a 2200mAh 30C pack crammed in the nose). It did seem like it had just a touch of nose up tendency during flight, but overall, was quite good. This might the the up incidence in the elvator that Don and others have mentioned or, could just be that the correct CG for this model (without the tanks attached) is between 90-95mm. Anyway, this is my first EDF and my first flight, so I spent most of it just trying to get the feel of it. Performance seemed pretty good with the Wicked 5400 combo. It isn't a speed demon, but it's no slouch either. I'm happy with its speed and spent most of the flight at WOT . I did notice the ailerons were really touchy, so I will likely dial them down some more. I just eyeballed the throw measurements and set the rate adjust down to 70% on my radio, trying to get them around the recommend 10mm. I think I will try 60% to see if I can get it to be a little less twitchy. Looking forward to some good flight time on this. It looks great zipping through the air, nice and sleek. Thanks all for all the advise and info. |
May 06, 2010, 03:24 PM | |
Flew it again this morning, all went well. Again, the speed generally seems pretty good, however, there seems to be a fairly substantial lack of thrust. It doesn't climb particularly well and has a difficult time even trying to do a loop. This is my first EDF, so I am not experienced enough to know. Is this typical or normal for an EDF or one with a smallish 50mm fan? Compared to my prop planes, the difference is significant and very noticeable.
I am running 2200mAh packs, both 25 and 30C. I am wondering if going down to an 1800 to save some weight would help. From the specs though, we're looking at under 1 oz difference between the two, so I'm not sure whether this would provide a noticeable improvment or not. Thoughts? Thanks, Larry |

Yes but 1.8" is 120% FSA which is bad. You can try 1.65" for 100% FSA and 1.57" for 90% FSA.

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
Smoking tobacco using the traditional hookah waterpipe has been part of the fabric of life in the Middle East for centuries.
Its documented evolution stretches back to 16 th century India where one historian recorded that the waterpipe was invented by a physician during the reign of Emperor Akbar as a less harmful method of tobacco use.
The physician, Hakim Abul Fath, suggested that "tobacco smoke should be first passed through a small receptacle of water so that it would be rendered harmless."
So began a myth that shisha smoking is far less dangerous to health than cigarette and pipe smoking.
This week, the World Health Organisation has quashed that myth, suggesting that smoking a hookah is more dangerous than smoking cigarettes. It also said that more research is needed into the link between the use of the waterpipe and several fatal illnesses.
An advisory note from the WHO says that smoking a hookah may expose the smoker to more smoke over a longer period of time than occurs when smoking cigarettes.
Because smoking a hookah may take up to 80 minutes, the report suggests that the smoker is subjecting himself to as much smoke as somebody dragging on 100 cigarettes.
And the water does not strip out all toxic substances. Some of the nicotine is absorbed, but this leads to people smoking for longer in order to experience the effects of the drug, and therefore inhaling more smoke containing carbon monoxide, heavy metals and other toxic compounds, which leads to heart and respiratory problems.

Posted by: sapphiraa Wednesday, 18 September 2013 2:37 PM[UAE] - USAI have to agree though, that hookah is no where NEAR as addicting as cigarettes. I haven't been able to afford any shisha until now due to financial troubles and picked up smoking again. I had an hour or so session last night and the whole time through (as well as after) I felt like I still needed a cigarette.
Another note: WHERE ARE THE NUMBERS TO SUPPORT SUCH LUDICROUS CLAIMS?! I think their basing it off the fact there's so much more smoke than any actual readings obtained through testing.
Posted by: Occasional smoker Thursday, 21 April 2011 10:32 AM[UAE] - United statesI would like to see more details on that research, how hot was the tobacco? What was the tobacco to charcoal ratio in their experiment? These are all major factors when measuring the amount and type of toxins someone might be inhaling. Was it typical usage, or an exaggerated use of charcoal? I am not saying smoking is good for you, but I think the WHO may have not performed an accurate test. When I have tried many times to inhale and smoke a cigarette, I end up coughing up or choking and I have tried many times. I could never get used to it. But when I smoke a hookah it is only at one point where I will start coughing, and that is when the bowl is burnt and time for it to be thrown out Usually 30 min after I state smoking. Yes I do inhale the hookah smoke fully, which I cannot do with a cigarette because of its harshness. The report does not seem accurate when they say it?s like smoking 100 cigarettes in one sitting.
Posted by: Reply Monday, 21 May 2012 2:13 PM[UAE] - USyou end u coughing when you smoke a cigarette but not a sheesha beause it is a water pipe and it moisturises the smoke and makes it smoother to inhale. check out many more articles if you are really interested in accepting that sheesha is harmful but if you are ok with it or addicted to it i dont think they are trying to convince you to stop at all. They are just stating obvious facts.
Posted by: TW Kim Thursday, 14 April 2011 9:40 AM[UAE] - PhilippinesAlright, what this article lacks is that Cigarettes are more addictive, while Shisha is not. I don't shake if I don't have a week of Shisha, while if you are a smoker, you do. Shisha may be "as harmful" as cigarettes, but not as addicting. People who shisha everyday don't necessarily HAVE to shisha everyday, not like smokers. If you see this is in a long term, shisha is safer.
Posted by: Mike Sunday, 3 April 2011 2:59 PM[UAE] - AustraliaTj is correct is a sense, i smoke the Shisha on and off, when you heat he coal and palce on the top over the tabacco it is cooking the tabacco. However at a certain point it starts to burn it, but you can usually tell this because you get quite a harsh taste soon after. The few few puffs are like breathing in hot air because the tabacco has only been mildly cooked, the more you puff on the same batch the more the tabacco gets cooked and will soon burn.
Posted by: Brad Saturday, 2 March 2013 10:24 AM[UAE] - USVery true. In fact, most of the "smoke" you are inhaling is actually steam (which is what makes it so thick and white), at the right temperature, the coal starts to not only cook the tobacco, but vaporize the moisture in the molasses.
So while it may LOOK like it's a lot more smoke than what it actually is, and sure, you might be at it for an hour or more, it's still less nicotine and byproduct of combustion than cigarettes.
Also, learning to recognize when the moisture has left the shisha and you are burning the then dried tobacco, will keep your smoking experience safer and more satisfying.
Posted by: Wael Tuesday, 21 December 2010 9:44 AM[UAE] - Jordan@Tj: I don't understand your comment, the article is about how bad shisha is, and quoting an international organisation!
your comment is about how a shisha works?!
and do you really belive that a red hot charcoal is not meant to burn tobacco leaves soaked in glycerine, scents, artificial colors, and sweetners!
Get your facts right, the coal does not heat the tobacco! it burns it! you inhale CO1 + toxins (from the vaporised all healthy ingredients) + nicotine
Posted by: Justin Sunday, 22 May 2011 3:09 PM[UAE] - United StatesAn international organization? How could they possibly be wrong? OK sarcasm aside..The comment was 110% correct. If set up and used properly the shisha mixture DOES NOT BURN. Most of the harmful effects of using tobacco products are by products of combustion. There's reports that claim that during one hookah session the user inhales as much nicotine as a whole pack of cigarettes...! I'm an ex cigarette smoker, quit 8 years ago and I own a hookah and use it maybe twice a month. I feel it's not addictive in any way and to compare it to cigarettes is nonsensical. Bottom line, smoke isn't good to inhale, we all know that but to go as far as to say hookah is as much of a health problem as cigarettes is way overboard. The statistics just aren't there, they never will be and anyone who claims otherwise is fabricating false information.
Posted by: Nick Tuesday, 18 January 2011 9:36 AM[UAE] - usaActually, in a hookah you are baking the shisha at about 300 degrees Fahrenheit, not burning it. Also, while it is true that you are exposed to more smoke in a hookah session than in one cigarette, the hookah does have the benefit of not containing all the other additives and chemicals that are added to cigarettes. Either way, both are bad for you but as long as you keep it in moderation you should be okay.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION San Franciscos celebrated Old Foghorn Ale has been virually handmade by the brewers of Anchor Steam Beer, in one of the worlds smallest and most traditional breweries, since 1975. Our barleywine-style ale, the first of its kind in modern times in the United States, has a luscious depth of flavour that makes it ideal for sipping after dinner. It is made with top-fermenting yeast, fresh whole hops, and "first wort", the richest runnings of a thick all-malt mash. Old Foghorn is "dry hopped" in the classic ale tradition and aged in our cellars until it attains the perfect balance of malty sweetness, estery fruitiness, and exquisite hop character, for which it is known throughout the world. A ruby red ale with little carbonation and a warm finish.

I'm really pleased with how motherhood had benefited Ali Larter here. Whereas before she was a bit slim and somewhat lacking in the bewbage department, Ali is now rocking some very nice cleavage and is impressively full-figured. Nothing wrong with that, as I'm sure most of you will agree. Of course there's the unfortunate caveat that she's often got a kid or kid-related things around her all the time now, but that doesn't always have to be a bad thing. Like, for instance, when Ali wears really short dresses and then has to bend over to fiddle with the car seat.
Three cheers for motherhood!
