PE: Defining Community ProjectsDefining Community ProjectsToday we are going to take a look at what exactly a Community Project is and hopefully dispell some misconceptions about them. Our group CRCommunityProjects has a great blurb explaining what Community Projects are that I'd like to quote here:A community project is a project or contest that is designed by community members to promote a positive, supportive environment here on deviantART. Community projects build community spirit and help all of us to grow as artists and as individuals. They have specific goals and serve to bring people together. These projects are supportive of artists and of artistic growth and provide a stepping-stone to help people achieve their goals.Community projects can be large or small. They may span multiple galleries and media, or they may be focused on just one. They could even be focused on forums or chats!I think the blurb above gives a great general overview of what a community project
PE: Make Your Project a SuccessSometimes it happens that someone launches a Community Project and as things progress the project simply doesn't seem to be doing well. Today I'd like to discuss ways you can work at turing your project around and making it a success. I imagine everyone has been paying close attention to the articles we've been posting this week for our Community Projects projecteducate week, but in case you've missed any let me recap those that will benefit you the most if you are struggling with moving your project forward.PE: Defining Community ProjectsPE: What to ask before launching a projectPE: Funding your projectPE: Promoting your projectNow that we are all up to date and hopefully on the same page, let's say you've read and considered all of these articles carefully, and made every
Artist's Toolbox: Social Media WebsitesIn this day and age, with the internet at just about everyone's fingertips, social media is making a big boom and is useful for so much more than just socializing with others. Each day more and more businesses jump on the social media bandwagon to help market and promote their goods. For artists this is no different, as these websites are an excellent tool to market yourself, your skills, and of course your art! Benefits of using Social Media WebsitesBe seen!Starting out brand new on any social media website can be a bit daunting and building watchers/followers can take time though there are ways to get noticed faster if you are willing to put the time and effort into it. Some time ago I wrote an article about gaining exposure. While the article is geared towards gaining exposure on deviantART, a lot of the same concepts apply to other websites as well. Do take a moment and give it a read.

Sorry to bother you...Hello all,I thought I'd take a moment today to write a journal which is probably long overdue. I believe there is a common misconception floating around that CVs are so busy, that when you send us DD Suggestions, or other messages, you are being a bother. Quite regularly the DD Suggestions I receive start with something along the lines of "I am sorry to bother you..." or "I know you are busy but.." I'd like to assure you all that no suggestions you send, or any other type of contact made with me (or any other CV for that matter) is something to feel sorry or bad about (unless you are legitimately harassing us or something). I've often heard community members talk about how many notes CVs get daily (often this number appears to be near 100) and I feel the need to say that this is very far from the truth. On average I receive maybe 5 notes a day. On a slow day I may not get any at all and on a busy day I may get up to 10. While I can not speak

Project Educate: Handling Group SubmissionsHandling Gallery and Favourites Submissions in Your GroupAre you a part of a deviantART group whose Gallery and Favourites are messy or seem to be unorganized? This isn't an uncommon problem. There are many groups on dA that do not have a solid structure or even criteria for submissions to the Gallery and Favourites. The goal of this article is to help address this problem and inform you of a few methods to fix it!How Can I Be Sure?Here's a simple check list to help you determine if a group has a messy Gallery or Favorites:Clarity - Are the names of the folders clear as to what they should contain? Are there descriptions of the folders anywhere?Order - Are the folders ordered in a logical manner, or are they just randomly jumbled together in the same place?Sub-folders - Do the sub-folders contained in a folder seem to be branches related to the main folder?

The 365 Photography Challenge - How to Stick at itBefore I start with this article, a little disclaimer. I just finished the 365 photography challenge - known as a 'photo a day' but I blogged and took more than one photo on most days, so it was that little bit more challenging. So I'm feeling pretty smug right now, that I achieved it. But I am by no means toting myself as an expert. This is just my humble advice on how to keep going when it does nothing but rain, or when you feel like giving up.Before 2012, some weeks would pass when I wouldn't even pick up the camera, let alone think about shots, or how to compose one. Photography still excited me, but I was lacking inspiration. So on the 2nd of January last year I decided to throw everything up in the air, and let go. That is to say, I stopped being precious about the camera (because you can't when you have to take a photo a day) and I forced myself to take rubbish shots, as well as half decent ones. Start as you mean to go. Don't over-set yoursel
PE: Promoting your projectPromoting your projectSo you have a community project. You think it is a really good project, but people seem to not care for it. But wait... what if they just don't know about it?Step 1 - WRITE A JOURNAL ABOUT YOUR PROJECTYou can also use other ways to describe your project - in the comments section of a deviation, in a profile widget or gallery description, but a journal is usually the most effective way to get the word out. Write it in sta.sh, even if it's a group journal (we will get to this later). Explain clearly and concisely the main idea and goals of your project, then elaborate on the details if needed.Step 2 - POST THE JOURNAL You can post it not only in your profile, but also in your groups. You need to be an admin of a group to be able to post the journal to it directly (as a journal, not as a deviation). If you are an admin of a group that is relevant to the project, this is how

Some people accustom to change very quickly, others may take a long time or may not adjust to change at all. In regards to deviantART Site Updates, it's important to know ways to welcome change and embrace it.

Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and assistance to many other deviants and taking time out to promote the work of others in the community. Some people have received Seniority because of their artistic endevours, having a positive influence on their peers by sharing resources, providing constructive criticism and by being a voice that stands out above the many other

These teams are dedicated to providing a high level of support within the community via our help desk portal as well as what we call the "Moderation Desk", which is where all of the deviations that have been reported as being unsuitable or in violation of our policies, await review from a member of staff.Community Operations Staff are spread out across the globe on a mix of many time zones. Some work from a physical office in deviantART HQ in Los Angeles, some work from their homes in America, Canada, Bahamas, Germany and the UK.

Why you feature stolen work?!?!Lately there seem to have been a few myths flying around in particular with regards to how we as Community Volunteers, give Daily Deviations. Many people seem to think that we sit at our desks in dark little rooms and let out evil laughter whilst we purposefully feature stolen work. The dark rooms and laughter - well I can't say yes or no on that one! But I can promise you it's not our intent to give exposure to people who have stolen work. I recently featured a piece of work that turned out to be stolen. However I went into extensive conversations with the artist before I featured it, and with added metadata and dates, it's difficult to know where to draw the line. I've given people the benefit of the doubt before - and it's worked out nicely as their work has been legitimate. Below are some comments I have seen being thrown around the past few days - and hopefully an attempt to bust the myth."I thought at least that you people would check to make sure the work was the

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Martians attack! If you somehow have remained ignorant of the details of this classic story, be aware that there are major spoilers in this review. I have only recently started reading the works of H. G. Wells, and I'm sorry I waited so long. We tend to assume that books written over 100 years ago will be difficult reads, filled with convoluted sentences, arcane words and obtuse themes. But Wells is actually a simple, straightforward and highly evocative writer. I thought The Time Machine was moody and poetic. Surprisingly, The War of the Worlds was scary, suspenseful and humbling. The basic story should be familiar to most from the famous radio and movie adaptations. Martians unexpectedly arrive on Earth in cylindrical spaceships and quickly construct huge, three-legged war machines that immediately lay waste to the country around them. Wells' descriptions of the tripods looming of the smoke, hunting the comparatively tiny humans with heat rays and poisonous gas, are chilling. Wells describes the panic that overtakes London so precisely that the reader feels like one of the fleeing mob. In one of the more horrifying scenes, the unnamed narrator -- hiding in the basement of a destroyed house -- watches the Martians just outside as they drain and ingest the blood of their captives. Modern horror has to work hard to be this scary. In the face of overwhelmingly superior technology, man is reduced to a helpless, panicked animal. People are compared to ants scurrying in the road or to rabbits run to ground. Just a few days after the Martians land, civilization is effectively over. This is no feel-good Independence Day-type story. People don't rise up to save the day. The most frightening aspect of this novel is that it lays bare how truly powerless we are. Of course, the Martians are defeated by an even tinier foe: bacteria against which they have developed no immunology. While this development is something of a deus ex machina, the ending is still perfectly plausible. But will humankind learn from this experience? That remains to be seen. Reading the science fiction classics (2011). Joplin Library Book Club selection for May 2010 One of the earliest stories of conflict between man and extraterrestrial beings, written in 1898, this is a pretty extraordinary book. The narrator is unnamed, a writer of philosophy and in this story he expresses various points of philosophy. This book has never gone out of print and has remained popular. That is pretty extraordinary, too. This story is not big on characters and none of them have names. It is written as a factual telling of invasion and rule by Martians. This book presents science facts, technology and ecological points in its telling. Another theme is apocalypse. People feared the end of the age as 1899 drew closer. There is a mix of Christianity and such constructs as natural selection/Darwinism. At one point, it felt the narrator's experience was like the experience of Noah disembarking the Ark to a world of destruction and carian with carian birds eating the dead. While there seems to be Christian themes in the book there is the characterization of the curate's emotional weakness and self centeredness that resulted in the need to kill him (natural selection). Before I read this, my father told me how people heard it on the radio and thought it real. That possibility really colored the novel for me. As a kid, I read it and all the while, thought "what if this really happened?" The power of a book to do that to an audience held a great curiosity for me. In middle school, I didn't understand all the nuances of the work, especially not the way it presents the idea of social Darwinism. But the idea of visitors from another world being defeated so easily by mere bacteria, opened up my brain to many questions regarding the larger world outside my window, outside my "pale blue dot." I loved the fear in this book, the feeling of the unknown and what if. Read the full review here: www.ravenoak.net

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375759239, Paperback)This is the granddaddy of all alien invasion stories, first published by H.G. Wells in 1898. The novel begins ominously, as the lone voice of a narrator tells readers that "No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's..."Things then progress from a series of seemingly mundane reports about odd atmospheric disturbances taking place on Mars to the arrival of Martians just outside of London. At first the Martians seem laughable, hardly able to move in Earth's comparatively heavy gravity even enough to raise themselves out of the pit created when their spaceship landed. But soon the Martians reveal their true nature as death machines 100-feet tall rise up from the pit and begin laying waste to the surrounding land. Wells quickly moves the story from the countryside to the evacuation of London itself and the loss of all hope as England's military suffers defeat after defeat. With horror his narrator describes how the Martians suck the blood from living humans for sustenance, and how it's clear that man is not being conquered so much a corralled. --Craig E. Engler (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:49:52 -0400) 'The War of the Worlds' is Wells' classic science fiction tale of a Martian invasion of Earth. Having already destroyed London, it seems that no-one can stop the intellectually superior Martians from taking over the whole planet. (summary from another edition) |

App review: Uber for iOS
Would you pay more for a private car hire service you book through your iPhone?
Would you pay more for a private car hire service you book through your iPhone?
Uber likes to promote its service as an easy way to get from point A to point B with a smartphone. Now the company wants to reward you for making one of those points a hotel.
The prospect of government oversight and steady stream of security issues facing Uber haven't scared investors from the ride-hailing company, which will expand its latest round of venture funding by US$1 billion.
Car-hailing app Sidecar is trying to make further inroads into same-day deliveries.
Regulations for ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft are coming down the road in Massachusetts.
Google CEO Larry Page likes to talk about taking "big bets" into new areas like driverless cars and delivery services. An acquisition of Uber might be a gamble that could pay off for both companies.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It is impossible to ignore the revolution of personal technology. Everyone has been keeping up to date on monthly smartphone sales. In the case of the iPhone, people stand in line overnight waiting to be the first to have a new phone. There is no other major consumer product (let alone any product, really) that makes people act this way.
The reason why people love phones so much is much deeper than any sort of aesthetic attraction. It is primarily because people love having access to everything when they want it, which almost always right now. This trend is an enormous opportunity for digital out-of-home.
Much has already been written via the mobile gurus about the technical ways to integrate mobile into DOOH networks via hardware such as Bluetooth signallers or Wi-Fi access; or through digital tags, such as QR codes, and Shazam audio tagging. But there are much more immediate ways to engage your viewers' telephones and get them to plug in the information you want them to receive.
For example, people take photos of everything now. They photograph announcement boards, documents, plates of food (both whole and devoured) and sometimes even advertisements that capture their attention. The latter happens for two reasons: either because the information is extremely relevant and needs to be stored, or because there is a reward, such as sharing something cool with friends or entering a contest.
One idea is to capitalize on the phone's camera and the viewer's desire to photograph. Create photo contests on the DOOH network. Show an image with a timer, and say that whoever takes a photo of this image and sends it to us will be entered to win something (like whatever the photo is, a product from a partner for example). It's possible that if someone sees the message but misses the opportunity, they might wait through the loop to try it again, or even tell their friends about it.
Another element to consider is that often times when working with a smaller client, they may not have a mobile version of their website. It serves little value to have a regular Web address that is not optimized for mobile displayed across most types of DOOH, because the immediacy of the moment requires that a viewer access the information right away, or risk having it be lost completely. "Visit our mobile site" invites instant action, especially if there is something useful on the mobile site too.

I bought the Green Pastures Cod Liver Oil / Butter Oil (chocolate gel) and had an allergic reaction. I scraped a teeny tiny bit off of the top with a spoon just to taste it. I then put it back into the fridge and about 10 minutes later noticed my lips itching and my chest getting tight. Turns out, I had an allergic reaction. I am allergic to crab and have take regular fish oil for years with no problems. I took benadryl and that took away my symptoms. Since I paid so much for it ($50) I hate for it to go to waste. What should I do with it? I don't think anyone would buy it since it has been opened. I'm considering trying it one more time but am freaked out.

Are you sure that its the cod liver oil that you are allergic to and not another ingredient in it? If so then you could get a different flavor. If you really want to try it again, and the benedryl takes away your symptoms then Id say go for it :)
Do you know anyone else who would take it? Can you make your DP eat it? ;) Or your DD?
Out of curiousity does it taste good? I havet tried that flavor. Does it taste like chocolate?
Hey there! It doesn't taste like chocolate to me. More like greasy/waxy hard fish paste :-) I was told to try the capsules instead. Hopefully they will be better for me. I am going to put it in my daughters smoothies and also let my Mom give it a try.

Gay people are not predators by nature. Their instincts are not to molest children. Do some gay people commit such crimes? Yes. Do some straight people do the same thing? Yes. Do MOST individuals of either group molest children? No.

Even heterosexuals commit sex crimes against adolescents. Admitting openly gay people does not increase the chances of sexual abuse...if a person is mentally ill enough to commit such crimes against children, it doesn't much matter whether they are gay or straight.

RStyga: Let's us dispense with the myth that all "professional" photographers know exactly what they want or what it is required. I have seen a fair share of them not having a clue about what gear to buy, not only because they fail to follow the industry's rapid changes (understandable to a certain a extent) but also because they don't even know basic technological terminology (e.g. what is VC/IS/OIS/IS).
There is a significant difference between a person who makes money out of taking photographs, a photographer (in the artistic sense), and one who knows about photographic technology and application. Neither category implies any of the other.
From www.etymonline.com:
c.1200, "vows taken upon entering a religious order," from Old French profession (12c.), from Latin professionem (nominative professio) "public declaration," from past participle stem of profiteri "declare openly" (see profess). Meaning "any solemn declaration" is from mid-14c. Meaning "occupation one professes to be skilled in" is from early 15c.; meaning "body of persons engaged in some occupation" is from 1610; as a euphemism for "prostitution" (e.g. oldest profession) it is recorded from 1888.
Can anyone describe what effect that the CC announcement back in - what was it, May? - actually had on Adobe? Their stock doesn't seem to have suffered much. In what other ways can the effect on their business be objectively measured?
Think photographers are snobs? Check out the high-end stereo folks!

1. How long have you been crafting?
It feels like I have been crafting all my life. I cannot think of a time when I havent had a craft project going on. Most of the times though, I have several projects going on simultaneously.
Officially, I started scrapbooking and then cardmaking, after the birth of my baby girl in 2009.
2. Why did you start crafting?
I started scrapbooking because becoming a mother was such a precious experience, I wanted to treasure each and every moment. I love that these pages will one day become my little girl' history.
3. How long have you been on the Fiskars design team?
Since June 2011
4. What are your favorite craft activities?
I love paper, and any paper craft interests me.Right now I am addicted to scrapbooking. I love sewing as well, but find myself sewing paper more than fabric these days...
5. How do you define your crafting style/aesthetic?
I like things to be colorful. I like using bold earth tones. I like things to be simple and clean. I love adding details though, or a handwritten touch, anything to make my project personal.
6. What is your favorite time of day to craft?
I craft into the middle of the night. Though now that my craft room has two enormous windows and lots of sunshine, I love crafting during the day as well, but that totally depends on if the baby naps or not :)
7. What motivates/inspires you?
Inspiration seems to be everywhere; magazines, websites, blogs, textiles, nature. I am always jotting down thoughts and doodling ideas for a new project.
8. If you could only have one Fiskars® tool, what would it be and why?
I love all the Fiskars® Scissors- they are so precise and easy to use. I love their border punches as well! Choosing one is just too tough.

'She's hysterical!' Lindsay Lohan FINALLY heads off to rehab… after last-minute switch to a centre where she can smoke
'Breaking plea deal' by switching centres without court approval
It has been a long time coming.
But that still did not stop Lindsay Lohan bursting into a flood of tears as she finally headed off to court ordered rehab on Wednesday.
The convicted thief was was sentenced to 90 days in a facility after pleading no contest to charges for lying to police about driving during a car crash last June.
It's a hard life: Lindsay Lohan phoned her father Michael in tears as she jetted out to a rehab facility in posh Newport Beach in California
And while it may seem like she has gotten off lightly, her father Michael revealed that did not stop her weeping when she finally headed off on an airplane bound for California from New York.
'Sorting it out': Michael claimed he will fix it so she goes to the rehab of her choice
He told Radar: 'She was crying hysterically when she called me.
'Lindsay is heading to California but she doesn't want to go the place she's going and she's upset that she's being forced to do so.'
She had been desperately trying to change the location of her rehab centre from Newport Beach in California, which is the richest city in the US, to one he recommended in Florida.
He said: 'Lindsay wants to go to the Lukens Institute.
'But she's going to go to Morningside in Newport Beach until she can transfer to the one in Florida.
'She asked me if she could transfer to Lukens once she starts and I told her of course she can.
'I will get it all settled for her.'
TMZ are claiming she is breaking her plea deal by jetting out to California, as it was agreed she would be attending the Seafield rehabilitation facility in New York.
If it is decided she has broken the terms of the bargain she could be sentenced to 90 days in jail.
However attorney Mark Heller is expected to appear before her judge in California on Thursday and Lindsay's father is hoping her can persuade the adjudicator to approve of the switch.
It comes after the former child star posted a picture online of her packing for her rehab stay.
Despite being away from the public eye during her lock down in, it is clear the Mean Girls star is intending to stay in style.
Packing for rehab: Lindsay Lohan posted a picture of herself packing for her stay in rehab on Tuesday night
She posted a picture of herself packing on her Instagram account on Tuesday night.
Lindsay was surrounded by several bags of clothes, accessories and shoes.
Dressed in a casual pair of shorts and a loose-fitting top, Lilo appeared to not know where to start.
She captioned the snap '90 days and 270 looks'.
It previously emerged she wanted to move from her original mooted rehab Seafield in New York due to strict non-smoking rules.
She had been complaining to friends she did not think she could go the full 90 days without tobacco.
Can't hack it: Lilo is reportedly thinking of ditching a stay at Seafield rehab facility in New York because of it's strict non-smoking rules
In an attempt to amend the rules, the star asked her lawyers to negotiate with the facility's management to make an exception for the tobacco-loving actress.
But Seafield reportedly refused to bow down to her demands, which led to her representatives consulting with Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach, California, which does allow smoking.
Lindsay is familiar with the facility after already spending time there in 2010.
Lindsay's father Michael Lohan again weighed in on the rehab debate, backing up claims that his daughter did not want to go to Seafield because of its no smoking policy.
Need nicotine: According to TMZ, Lilo has been complaining to friends that she doesn't think she can go the full 90 days without smoking
He said: 'Lindsay does not want to go to the Seafield Center in New York as you can't smoke there, and she feels she is going to need to fall back on smoking while she works on getting sober.'
'Lindsay wants to get treatment at The Lukens Institute in Palm Beach, Florida.
'And it's the perfect facility for her to go to. They provide six hours of intensive one-on-one therapy a day, in addition to group and family therapy, and they treat the trauma that is at the core of the addictive behavior rather than just treating the addiction.
The clock is ticking: Lindsay's lawyers are expected to front the courts on Thursday, providing prosecutors with proof that the actress has enrolled in some kind of approved rehab facility
'Look, there's no point in her going into yet another, regular rehab program like she has been in previously, she needs something different, and the Lukens Institute has one of the highest recovery rates in the country.
'The place is really luxurious and they are used to dealing with high end clients—Lindsay will have to detox at first from the drugs and alcohol, and she can do that there in her own private room, which is like a suite at the Ritz Carlton, and have a nurse on hand 24 hours a day to look after her.
'However, [people around Lindsay are] pushing for her to go into Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach, basically, because they want to get a referral fee for placing her there, which I've heard they are willing to pay, whereas Lukens won't do that.
'It's easy to see whose best interests are at heart here, and, once again, they are not my daughter's.'

Title: | [21PacRimLPolyJ 255] The Brave New World of Lawyers in Japan Revisited: Proceedings of a Panel Discussion on the Japanese Legal Profession After the 2008 Financial Crisis and the 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake |
Author: | Aronson, Bruce E |
Abstract: | Bruce E. Aronson, Senior Fulbright Researcher and Visiting Research Scholar, Waseda University; Professor of Law, Creighton University School of Law; Affiliate Professor of Law, University of Washington School of Law. profession that had been growing strongly for three decades, highlighting fundamental issues concerning the business and educational models of both law firms and law schools. This raises the interesting question of how Japan, with its much shorter history of large law firms and professional law schools, has been affected by the 2008 financial crisis and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor crisis. At a recent conference sponsored by the University of Washington School of Law and the law firm of Perkins Coie, a distinguished group of legal practitioners from the leading Japanese and foreign law firms in Tokyo engaged in a panel discussion on the current state of Japan's legal profession. The panelists saw both the 2008 financial crisis and the Tōhoku earthquake as "one-time" events that will not have a significant longterm impact. The 2008 financial crisis, although it had a lesser economic impact in Japan, raised fundamental issues similar to those in the United States concerning the appropriate models for large law firms and law schools. Despite a number of current problems, the panelists supported the goals and direction of recent Japanese reforms, which have overhauled the system of legal education and increased the number of lawyers, and they explicitly embraced a new model for the legal profession: rather than the traditional small elite with a narrow societal role, the Japanese bar would be significantly expanded and compete to fill a wide range of law-related roles in society. |

terrible to ask- but does anyone know how Wendy's makes their chili?
- e

My son loves Wendy's chili. I have made several versions of chili and none pass. Since I don't eat beef- I have not tasted Wendy's chili- and all I know about it is that John and Elizabeth Edwards like it:-) and that it is low fat.
Anyone have any ideas what is in it??
It doesn't appear to be low-fat!
you can find others by yahooing this:
"wendy's chili recipe"0-
re: rudeboy
The fat is very alarming. Wendy's website lists 9 g fat for a large chili. Wonder what the difference is?
re: edinaeats
Serving size. The recipe on the web site uses two pounds of meat for four servings which is 1/2 a pound of ground beef per serving. I doubt you get that much meat in a large chili at Wendy's
re: Chorus Girl
Of course it is...the unsold burgers form the basis of their chili. Nothing wrong with that...Any good restaurant utilizes their leftovers...
You know there are some fantastic recipes for chili on the Internet. Many are very involved with beers, wines, cilantro, etc. Now you may like Wendy's and that's all that counts, but believe me there's no way they are putting the time in to come up with a fantastic chili like the one's you'll find on the Internet. So, even if you cannot find Wendy's recipe, all is not lost.
If you like chili, why try making one of these recipes. You'll find them better than anything a fast food place can provide with their unskilled help and their limited food costs. foodtv.com - recipes0 -
I don't know what's in it, but it is FABULOUS stuff. I eat it once a week at least. It's awesome.

Is the plane rolling left soon after the throw on the hand launched nose ins? Mine is terrible about doing this. Its happened 50% of the time over the past 10 flights. I can't seem to pin it down. My recent embarassing example at ~ 3:40 -

I posted this originally in the reaper forum, but I was notified that perhaps this thread would be better suited for my questions.
I am wondering a few things.. I have recently purchased and will be assembling a pusher Hercules and I am under the impression that it is basically a Larger version of the Deep Reaper XL. Since I have never flown an all wing model and have looked at many different videos of the impressive things that they can do, I am 100% interested I am going to be designing this to carry close to 6-7 pounds of weight. I know the idea is to build them light but I have a want/need for ultimate air time. My overall goal is to achieve 2 hours if possible and cover a distance over a couple miles with fpv gear. Most of the flight I would like to have autopilot to way-points that can be updated while flying, rather than at the beginning of the flight, so I can use a pan and tilt camera with a head tracker to look around. Once the batteries get to about half charge or when I want to end, automatically turn the plane around and come home. I have been looking at different batteries 2s 3s and 4s (still not sure what voltage is best), fpv /osd/autopilot/tracking equipment etc. I'm also not sure what kind of motor to use or what prop to use. I realize that a bigger prop will draw more amps out of the batteries and make the motor work harder and once you pass up about 3000ft with a standard 2.4ghz receiver transmitter you are going to loose control of the plane. Currently I am looking at these specs to start: 2x Turnigy nano-tech 8400mAh 3S 40~80C Lipo Pack 2x T-Pro MG90 (Metal Gear) Servos NTM Prop Drive Series 35-36A 1800Kv / 875w TURNIGY TRUST 70A SBEC Brushless Speed Controller (don't know the difference of BEC) No idea for a prop.. Possibly a 9-6 DX6i 2.4GHz transmitter with AR6200 receiver or equivalent Any ideas on how to get the range/duration I'm looking for would greatly be appreciated. I am new to FPV and am very excited at all the technology, unfortunately I am on a budget and lack some very crucial knowledge about video transmission. I look forward to joining the many thousands in this sport! |

May 10, 2012, 12:28 PM | ||
E-mail Mike at the website and he will see what he can do for the best shipping price to your location. One of our delays is some of our testers are trying to get them to come apart into 3 sections for transport since the plane is too big for smaller cars. The idea is to put servos in the outer panels and try to keep most of the electronics and batteries in the middle to keep on site set of the plane as simple as possible. We realize that there will be some antenna connection plugs and other parts that need to go in the outer wings but that should be simple with some of the plugs that could be used to combine all of the electronics, including servos, into a single plug. If you want to help us design the wing to take apart into 3 pieces let us know. We can cut the plane different so it can be glued into 3 equal length sections. We are not providing the tubes to divide the wing into 3 sections but are providing the fiberglass spars with all the kits as usual. These are sweeeeeeeet planes. I love the nose mount motors on the Hercs and all the fun I have had with taking off the ground but even I will admit the pusher Herc may be one of the most amazing planes in the air I have flown and more efficient for FPV. It glides very well and has a good low end speed but will still go fast when desired. It is going to be a hand launch plane but launches easy if you set up a grip under the CG. Lee . |
May 11, 2012, 01:19 PM | |
Lee, for the pusher you recommend the 3536-1800 KV with a 3S and a 9x6 prop. Is this the motor you are talking about:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=15169 Also I don't have experiences with prop savers, but I'm concerned about prop clearance on landings. Is it save to use a prop save for such a powerful motor/prop combo, or is it better to use a folding prop (which one?), or should I forgo both and use a std. prop? Is it enough to use a 60Amp Esc, or do I need something bigger? All Turnigy Plush ESCs (60, 80Amp) are out of stock at Hobbyking, any other ESC you can recommend for this motor? |
