Greenberg's Glory
With 40 Hall of Famers ready to come home to Cooperstown in a few weeks, there's a wonderful spirit in the air in Central New York.
But thanks to some tireless work by author John Rosengren, the spirit of one more legend – former Tigers and Pirates star Hank Greenberg – has come to life at the home of baseball.
Rosengren's biography "Hank Greenberg: Hero of Heroes" was published this spring by New American Library and is available at booksellers throughout the country. The 392-page work is a must-read for fans of the slugging first baseman, who later became a respected general manager.
Rosengren documents Greenberg's entire life, which began on Jan. 1, 1911 in New York City. The son of Jewish immigrants from Romania, Hyman Greenberg was the third child of David and Sarah – his name was recorded on his birth certificate as "Henry" by mistake. By the time he reached his early 20s, "Hank" had become one of the most famous Jews in America – a symbol of pride for his race.
Rosengren meticulously documents Greenberg's battle with prejudice and his own conscience as he established himself as one of baseball's most dangerous hitters. He brings to life Greenberg's pursuit of Babe Ruth's record of 60 home runs in the 1938 season, when Greenberg fell just short with 58 round-trippers. And readers get an inside look at a man driven to perfection – who was his own harshest critic despite two American League Most Valuable Player Awards, four AL home run crowns and four RBI titles.
"Hank was no longer being asked to carry his team," Rosengren wrote. "He was being prevailed upon to carry his people."
One of the most influential Jewish athletes of all-time – and a man who inspired countless Jewish children to strive for greatness – Greenberg is often underrepresented in the analysis of baseball's greatest sluggers. But despite losing the equivalent of more than four prime seasons during World War II, Greenberg still hit 331 home runs and drove in 1,276 runs in what amounted to nine-and-a-half full campaigns. His career slugging percentage of .605 ranks sixth all time (only Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Jimmie Foxx and Barry Bonds rank higher), as does his career on-base plus slugging (OPS) average of 1.017.
Greenberg was also the first major leaguer to re-enlist in the armed forces following the Dec. 7, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor, having been honorably discharged from the Army after serving eight months in 1941.
Greenberg was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1956 and called it his "greatest" thrill in baseball.
Rosengren captures all this and more in a volume that brings Hank Greenberg back to life. A fitting tribute to a man whose greatness transcended the game.

Memories of Bob
The gray-haired gentlemen emerged from the entrance foyer at the Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday – and no introductions were necessary.
Bob Feller, their father, could be seen in their faces. And even though it's been more than a year since Bob passed away, the visit of his sons Steve and Bruce brought the memories to life in Cooperstown.
Steve and Bruce stopped by the Hall of Fame on Wednesday to donate two documents to the Museum's Library. One was an original scorecard from their father's legendary Opening Day no-hitter on April 16, 1940. The other: Bob Feller's original contract with the Indians, hand-written on the back of stationery from a Des Moines, Iowa, hotel and signed by Feller and scout Cy Slapnicka.
"These were both in Dad's house when he passed, squirreled away in the attic," Steve Feller said. "We remember the scorecard hanging in our rec room when we were kids."
The scorecard documents the only game in big league history where all players on one team started and finished the game with the same batting average: All White Sox batters were hitting .000 after the game.
But the contract is equally fascinating. The deal gave Feller a $1 bonus, and provided that he would visit his "folks" anytime he wanted during the 1936 season, plus provided that he could play basketball in his off hours. The deal indicated that Feller would start the season playing for a team in Fargo, N.D., but the fireballing phenom went right to the majors to begin his career.
During their stop in the Museum, the Feller brothers took a look at their Dad's Hall of Fame plaque as well as others located nearby.
"Elmer Flick – he used to come to my baseball games in Solon (Ohio)," said Steve Feller of his youth baseball days. "And Hank Greenberg – we played with his sons."
It was all part of a unique childhood with an iconic father.
"These belong here – in Cooperstown," said Bruce Feller of his father's documents. "Dad would have wanted it that way, and so do we."

Hall Monitor: Big Macs, Pitching Phils and a big Hall of Famer Day
It's been a couple of busy weeks – sorry for slacking on our weekly Cooperstown Chatter update from around the Majors. It was a great Father's Day in Upstate New York and it's been a great week since.
The Shields Sunshine Express: James Shields has dominated the Marlins this season. On May 22, he threw nine scoreless innings and struck out 13. On Father's Day, he yet again took advantage of the Fish, striking out 10 in another nine innings of scoreless ball. Since 1990, Shields feat of two nine-inning, 10-or-more K starts against the same team has been accomplished just three other times: Hideo Nomo stymied the Giants twice in 1995, David Cone also got the Giants twice in 1992 and Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan shut down the White Sox in 1990.
Old Big Mac: For the second time in Major League history, there is an 80-plus year old serving as skipper. On Monday, 80-year old Jack McKeon was named interim manager of the Marlins. McKeon joins the Tall Tactician, Hall of Famer Connie Mack, as the only octogenarians to lead big league clubs. Mack ended his career at 87 in 1950, his 50th season leading the Philadelphia Athletics.
Monday's change at the top in Miami came with McKeon's Florida squad losing its 19th game in 20 contests. During the slide, 10 of the defeats have been by one run – becoming the second team to go 1-19 over 20 games with 10 one-run losses. The other was the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics, managed by the then 80-year old Mack.
Master-Lee: Cliff Lee's Tuesday night start continued his Phabulous, Phanatical Phillie pitching with a second straight shutout. In June, he is 4-0 with a 0.27 ERA in four starts and has a chance to run the table with one more scheduled start on the 28th. Since World War II, only four Phils have finished a month with a sub-1.00 ERA, with the last being Hall of Famer Jim Bunning's 0.87 in August 1967.
With back-to-back shutouts, Lee is the first pitcher to accomplish the feat since 2004 and just the fourth in the last 35 seasons. Should Lee throw a third straight shutout, he would join Robin Roberts in 1950 as the only Phillies pitchers to go back-to-back-to-back in the live ball era.
Speedy Weeks: The A's have a promising young speedster. Jemile Weeks scored three runs and stole two bases at Citi Field on Tuesday. Just three other Oakland rookies have put together that kind of day since the the A's moved to Oakland:: Felix Jose (July 11, 1990), Luis Polonia (June 20, 1987) and all-time steals, all-time runs leader, Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson (Sept. 14, 1979).
Around the Majors: There are two major events on the Hall of Fame calendar this weekend. They'll be taking place in Detroit and the Bronx.
In Detroit on Sunday afternoon, Sparky Anderson's iconic No. 11 will take its rightful place on the Comerica Park wall alongside the team's seven other retired numbers. In the Tigers 111-year history, Charlie Gehringer (2), Hank Greenberg (5), Willie Horton (23), Al Kaline (6), Hal Newhouser (16) and Jackie Robinson (42) have had numbers retired. Anderson will be represented by members of his family, including his three children.
Also on Sunday in New York, the Yankees will hold their 65th Old-Timers' Day with over 50 retired former Yanks on hand. Among those will be Hall of Fame family members Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Goose Gossage, Helen Hunter (widow of Jim "Catfish" Hunter) and Reggie Jackson.

Hall Monitor: Strength, splits, speed and supremacy
By Trevor Hayes
As we enter the final week of the regular season, the mark that 2010 will leave on the game's history is quickly being finished. But just as quickly, the marks of yesteryear are being revisited.
Friendly Confines: Last night, Juan Uribe joined 2010 Hall of Famer Andre Dawson as the last two players to hit a pair of home runs in one inning at Wrigley. Uribe's grand slam and a two-run shot in the second helped the Giants dismantle the Cubs 13-0. Exactly 25 years ago today, Dawson provided a pair of three-run homers in the fifth in a 17-15 Expos victory.
Short Power: Only three players playing primarily shortstop during their careers have hit more than 300 home runs. The Padres' Miguel Tejada, who has played 94 percent of his career at short, connected for his 300th last night. He joined Alex Rodriguez and Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. Ripken hit 431 homers, playing 77 percent of his games at short before moving to the hot corner late in his career. Rodriguez – who topped the 600 homer mark last month – had 345 home runs before playing almost exclusively at third with the Yankees, but he's still logged 55 percent of his career at short. Often regarded as a shortstop, Hall of Famer and 500-home run club member Ernie Banks actually logged more games at first base with 45 percent of his games at shortstop.
Ending a drought: The Phillies had been without a 20-game winner since Hall of Famer Steve Carlton in 1982. Roy Halladay snapped the streak when he won his 20th game on Tuesday against the Braves. Only teams that have active streaks longer than the one Halladay broke. Like Carlton, the Padres last 20-game winner was a Hall of Famer: Gaylord Perry won 21 in 1978. The last pitcher to win 20 for the Nationals/Expos was Ross Grimsley, also in 1978.
Comfy in St. Lou: After Sunday's win against the Padres at Busch Stadium, Cards starter Adam Wainwright improved his home record to 12-3 with a 1.78 ERA. Rookie Jamie Garcia has been slightly better in St. Louis with a 1.74 home ERA. The last two Cards to qualify for the ERA title with home ERAs under 2.00 were Hall of Famers Steve Carlton and Bob Gibson. Carlton edged Gibson with a 1.92 ERA to Gibson's 1.94 at Busch in 1969.
Three to 100: Robinson Cano's two RBI Saturday at Baltimore pushed the 2010 Bombers into select company. Cano, along with teammates Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira, have each driven in 100 runs this season. Never before have three Yankee infielders done it in a single season, though six other groupings of players have – five of which included at least one Hall of Famer. The Red Sox have had three different infields with the achievement – accomplishing it in 1937, 1940 and 1950. Joe Cronin, Bobby Doerr and Jimmie Foxx were each a part of two Sox groups, with all three on the 1940 team. Charlie Gehringer and Hank Greenberg were two of the Tigers three 100-RBI infielders in 1934, while Lou Boudreau and Joe Gordon were on the 1948 Indians squad which pulled off the feat. The only previous group without a Hall of Famer is the 2001 A's of Eric Chavez, Jason Giambi and Miguel Tejada – all three of whom are still active.
Johnny Quick: Johnny Damon is second player to reach 100 career triples this season. He began the season as the active leader – tied with Jimmy Rollins at 95 – but Rays speedster Carl Crawford passed Damon for the active lead earlier this season and broke 100 last month. Since 1901, 108 Major League players have reached 100 triples. Of them, 52 are Hall of Famers, while four are not yet eligible. Since 1950, just 22 players have compiled 100 triples, of which eight are in the Hall of Fame.
Mr. Tiger in Detroit: Al Kaline's book "Six: A Salute to Al Kaline," released earlier this year, contains over 150 pages of articles and never-before-seen photographs and captures what the 1980 Hall of Fame inductee has meant to the franchise, his teammates, fans and the baseball world. As a special treat, Kaline will sign copies at Comerica Park prior to the team's final home game of the season Sunday against the Twins.

Hall Monitor: Middle infielders, whiffs and luminaries
By Trevor Hayes
The regular season has just two weeks left. That means contenders are fighting for holds on playoffs spots and the game's stars are grabbing hold of history.
Torrid Tulo: In two of the last three seasons, the Rockies have pasted together historic September runs and are in the middle of trying to sneak into the playoffs again in 2010. Those successes were in part thanks to shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. This year is no different. Over his last 14 games, Tulo has 11 home runs and 27 RBIs, including a pair of jacks and seven RBI during a 9-6 win over the Padres on Wednesday which brought Colorado 2-and-a-half back from both the division and Wild Card leads.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Tulowitzki is the second player with more than 10 homers and 25 RBIs during a 14 game stretch in September or October. During his MVP season in 1940, Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg had 12 homers and 31 RBIs in the waning month of the season. During his spree, the Rockies shortstop tied another Hall of Fame name for a nugget of September history. Ralph Kiner hit 11 home runs through the his 15 games of September, 1949 – the same number Tulo has during his first 14.
Southland Southpaws: This week, Clayton Kershaw became the first Dodger lefty to reach 200 strikeouts in a season since 1986. That year Fernando Valenzuela fanned 242 for his third straight 200-K season. Only one other southpaw has at least 200 K's in a season since the team moved to Los Angeles. Sandy Koufax racked up six 200-plus seasons, three of which were over 300 including 1965, in which he set a then-Major League record with 382. Just one other 200-strikeout season exists in franchise history by a lefty. Nap Rucker had 201 for the 1909 Brooklyn Superbas.
Cub closers: Carlos Marmol ended Monday's Cubs-Cards contest with his 120th strikeout of the season. He's the first reliever to produce a season at that level since 2004, when four players topped the mark. Marmol also became just the second Cub to rack up that many strikeouts in relief, joining Bruce Sutter, who had 129 in 1977. Interestingly enough the only other Hall of Famer to top 120 without starting a game also played for the Cubs. Goose Gossage had three seasons with at least 120 strikeouts including one with the Cubs neighbors to the South – the White Sox in 1975.
Uggla stands alone: Fourteen second basemen, including three Hall of Famers, have belted 30 home runs in a single season. But Marlins two-bagger Dan Uggla became the first Monday to hit 30 or more in four total seasons. In addition, he's done it in four consecutive seasons – further besting the previous record of two straight. Prior to Uggla's record-setting power at the keystone sack, Alfonso Soriano, Chase Utley and Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby were the only hitters with three 30-homer seasons. Four men have compiled two such seasons, including Hall of Famers Ryne Sandberg and Joe Gordon.
Hall of Famer watch: Whitey Herzog will be at Busch Stadium tonight. Fresh off his number retirement ceremony last month and Hall of Fame Induction in July, the newest Hall of Fame manager will spend some time with fans in his adopted hometown, St. Louis, before his beloved Cardinals open their series against the Padres.
The Giants will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with their annual Fiesta Gigantes event. Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda and Rock & Roll Legend Carlos Santana are offering a special event before the Brewers-Giants matchup Saturday with proceeds benefiting Santana's Milagro Foundation.

The EOS energy-harvesting diffuser from Titus is completely powered by natural light harvested through a small solar panel mounted to the face of the unit. Its logic system monitors air temperature and its plenum-slot diffuser automatically changes air discharge patterns for heating and cooling applications. (Traditional diffusers have fixed discharge patterns that cannot change position according to whether heating or cooling is needed.) Because all supply air is effectively discharged, room temperatures reach the set point faster. This allows the HVAC system to run for a short time, saving energy. titus-hvac.com

His experimentation on a multitude of analog synths has tremendously influenced what I do on synthesizers in my band, Gentlemen Hall. As well as numerous other groups ever since. Some critics and pure acoustic jazz-heads said this album is not jazz, but I beg to differ cause it is full of jazz improvisation and concepts.
This album was so popular that it quickly sold over a million copies after its release in 1973. It's simple, funky, extremely enjoyable, and AMAZING! Listen to it over and over for maximum satisfaction.
Head Hunters is the twelfth studio album by American jazz musician Herbie Hancock, released October 13, 1973, on Columbia Records in the United States. Recording sessions for the album took place during September 1973 at Wally Heider Studios and Different Fur Trading Co. in San Francisco, California.
Head Hunters is a key release in Hancock's career and a defining moment in the genre of jazz fusion. In 2003, the album was ranked number 498 in the book version of Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2007, the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry, which collects culturally, historically or aesthetically important" sound recordings from the 20th century.
I began to feel that I had been spending so much time exploring the upper atmosphere of music and the more ethereal kind of far-out spacey stuff. Now there was this need to take some more of the earth and to feel a little more tethered; a connection to the earth....I was beginning to feel that we (the sextet) were playing this heavy kind of music, and I was tired of everything being heavy. I wanted to play something lighter. Hancock's sleeve notes: 1997 CD reissue
For the new album, Hancock assembled a new band, The Headhunters, of whom only Bennie Maupin had been a sextet member. Hancock handled all synthesizer parts himself and he decided against the use of guitar altogether, favouring instead the clavinet, one of the defining sounds on the album.
The new band featured a tight rhythm and blues-oriented rhythm section composed of Paul Jackson (bass) and Harvey Mason (drums), and the album has a relaxed, funky groove that gave the album an appeal to a far wider audience.
Perhaps the defining moment of the jazz-fusion movement (or perhaps even the spearhead of the Jazz-funk style of the fusion genre), the album made jazz listeners out of rhythm and blues fans, and vice versa. The album mixes funk rhythms, like the busy high hats in 16th notes on the opening track Chameleon," with the jazz AABA form and extended soloing.
This is the album that saw Hancock transform from a respected jazz genius into a funkified crossover superstar. While Chameleon" and the plugged-in reading of Watermelon Man" got plenty of airplay, Hancock never panders to his listeners. This is an extremely influential album and is now considered the Rosetta Stone for those who toil in hip-hop and electronica

The game, although slightly short is a fun adventure through the first three Indy films. With plenty to do and loads of unlockable charachters it will keep the kids entertained but you might find yourself wanting a go! A co-operative story mode lets two players team up to solve the puzzles and work their way through the levels. A steady difficulty curve and a simple and fun nature makes this probably one of the best kids games around. Great game for adults and children to play together.

CHESTER COUNTY, PA (KYW/CNN) - Police and the Chester County District Attorney say a man has been arrested for animal cruelty after he was caught abusing a kitten.With broken teeth from being beaten and or dragged from a car this little kitten was nearly a goner when it was brought to an animal hospital.But that's when the story surrounding the kitten's owner, James Myers changed everything.Police say the 24-year-old was found in his car in the middle of an isolated street at 4 a.m. Sunday in West Chester, PA.According to investigators, the 8- to 10-week-old kitten had a rope tight around its neck and was hanging underneath Myer's car, but that's not all the officer found."He had 22 bags of heroin on him. Inside the car we found hundreds of empty bags of heroin and needles," said Tom Hogan, Chester Co. District Attorney.Upon hearing there was heroin in the car, the veterinarian here at the Hope Veterinary Clinic in Malvern decided to give the kitten Narcan, a drug often given to heroin addicts who overdose."And just like a human coming back from a heroin overdose suddenly bounced back up," Hogan said.Hogan says Myers is a heroin user who also decided to give his kitten heroin."I've never an animal abused by giving it heroin," Hogan said.The kitten is now expected to make a full recovery, and will be transferred to another facility for adoption.Myers' nor his family could be reached for comment. He has been charged with cruelty to animals, drug possession and related charges. He is locked up on $25,000 bail.

Justin Bieber Wrote + Produced Song for Selena Gomez
It was only a matter of time before Justin Bieber collaborated with girlfriend Selena Gomez, and now it's confirmed that the Canadian pop star has written and produced a song for his lady love.
It was only a matter of time before Justin Bieber collaborated with girlfriend Selena Gomez, and now it's confirmed that the Canadian pop star has written and produced a song for his lady love.
Selena Gomez celebrated her 20th birthday at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards on July 22, but the celebration didn't stop when the broadcast wrapped. Her BF Justin Bieber, who surprisingly didn't give her a shout out when he performed, went all out. He planned an intimate, post-TCAs party for her at Il Cielo in Beverly Hills.
The last time I checked, relationships aren't that hard....either you love them or you don't! After dating each other for almost a year and a half, it looks like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are finally on the rocks. If you didn't know, this means guys are laughing at Justin for leaving her and 13-year-old girls are screaming that he is single once again.
Video of Justin Bieber getting a bit testy with Beliebers while waiting for girlfriend Selena Gomez at the Toronto airport a few days ago has surfaced. But let us preface by saying that the dialogue the Biebs is having with a pack of fans appears to be taken a bit out of context, as there is footage of him taking photos with and hugging fans at that very airport during the same exchange. There is something we're not seeing.
Usher opens up about his past relationships in the latest issue of Q magazine. The R&B superstar, who is currently locked in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Tameka Foster, reveals that he's been a playboy when it comes to his relationships with women.
Aw! Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are sooooooooo in love. The Biebs reunited with his lady love, who was away filming 'The Getaway' in Bulgaria for the past few weeks. Bieber picked her up at LAX airport on Friday, May 25. Upon reuniting, the 'Boyfriend' singer planted a big fat smooch on her once they were in their vehicle. Can we say it one more time? Aw!
Who knew Selena Gomez and Skrillex were pals? The 'Who Says' singer partied with the dubstep king and his girlfriend, Ellie Goulding, as well as with her 'Spring Breakers' costar Ashley Benson.
I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about the hype behind Justin Bieber's new 'Boyfriend' single. For starters, I thought it would leak (like every song/album does) days before the slated Monday morning midnight release, but it didn't. I also didn't think I would be as impressed as I was when I heard it for the first time, but I was.
Justin Bieber may be recording his new album, 'Believe,' but he's still making time to hang out with his girlfriend, Selena Gomez. However, while indulging in a boating trip in Florida this weekend, the star couple had to spend a bit of their precious time together dodging the paparazzi.
Justin Bieber's girlfriend, Selena Gomez, recently visited 'The Ellen Show," and she was there NOT to discuss her boyfriend's new Christmas album. However, the singer did openly address the rumors of Bieber fathering a kid with Mariah Yeater. Find out how Selena has been holding up during all of this "baby mama drama" involving her man.

Ultrasound, or ultrasonography, is another way doctors are able to take a look inside the body. Instead of X-rays, sound waves are bounced off the kidneys, the heart, or other places your doctor needs to check out. Most women who are going to have a baby will have an ultrasound. Ask your mother if she has an ultrasound picture of you before you were born. Aw, you were so cute!

Abstract: Readability indices measure how easy or difficult it is to read and comprehend a text. In this paper we look at the relation between readability indices and web documents from two different perspectives. On the one hand we analyse how to reliably measure the readability of web documents by applying content extraction techniques and incorporating a bias correction. On the other hand we investigate how web based corpus statistics can be used to measure readability in a novel and language independent way.

Twitter, if you dare
Dude. Please stop shitting in every thread. That's what the 2013 lineup thread is for. Keep it there.
Sort of funny how shit seems to follow you around, eh Pig Pen? It's almost as if you perpetuate it, like a few other boardies who believe they're entitled to some sort of online royalty. My original post in this thread was music related, until one of your good buddies followed me here to start up a Rumors-like exchange. Go bug him about the quality of the message board. I'm unfazed.
Here's an idea dumbfuck: Don't paint yourself as a target. If you're gonna piss people off, they're gonna piss right back on you. Do you like golden showers? Do you like being pee'd on? And as for Quality of the message board? It's this kind of quality because people like you don't know when to secede.
Just put him on ignore, and then it won't matter if he's here or not.
Put me on ignore and proceed to wonder what everyone is talking about Drew.... you're a crybaby. It's as simple as that. Everyone here knows it, and we accept you for it. I painted myself as a target just as you paint yourself as an angsty teenager every time you post something here. Let it be.
Drew, just keep in mind what you said earlier. Don't let him shit on this thread - just don't respond in here. If you have to engage, do it in the threads that are already shit.
yeah, this is true. In trying to keep with this thread, I"ll be at the Growlers shoe at SoHo in SB on the 29th. If anyone is in town and wants to join our group for whiskey shots before hand, let me know. the more the merrier.
I don't, but you seem to think you do. I didn't carry the bullshit to this thread from Rumors. One of you guys did that once you realized I wasn't only posting in one thread. You may as well ignore me, or get over my presence as you've done with so many others. I'm not here to shit in your socks. Try to enjoy yourself more

While I'd agree that the pit is nice, for something like Primus if you don't want to be around some wild children, it's just as well to be on the first tier and have a better line of sight. Plus, if you do that you won't have to get in as early since people always bail from that area between sets to get drinks.
And I'm sure Zack will be on top of it, but get your damn drinks before you go into the venue, because they're way too expensive once your in there. Stout, which is apparently pretty badass, is walking distance from the venue. There's also a killer Peruvian chicken place a few blocks away, Pollo A La Brasa, which is a great pre-Wiltern stop.
Yeah I agree with Bryan. When I saw them there last October, the first tier was perfect.
I had no idea people would get wild at a Primus concert.

Beer Belly is close by too. Noisy but a good hang with decent selection of brews
Also, once inside, if ya gotta get a drink, try the bar in the basement. Usually has little to no line. But it is CASH only so bring a couple bills in with you.
This Will Destroy You| A Place To Bury Strangers| His Name Is Alive| Barry Manilow| Coachella| U2
Its not until their most recent release and reforming with Lane did they get more jammy, but they still bring the fury during a lot of their sets. Also, they will forever have a certain fan base of meatheads who have only listened to Frizzle/Sailing and still think PRIMUS SUCKS much to the chagrin of Les. One of the best live bands. Totally in their own category. I'd be at that Wiltern show for sure if I wasn't out of the state, so get weird folks!
I'll agree that first tier is awesome for the Wiltern.
Beer belly is looking good . http://beerbellyla.com/beerbelly/apps/50258-craftbeer
O yay Randy will be there.I have never been not so excited to know I might run into a boardie..

A Beanbag Robot Hand That Works Insanely Well
- Thursday January 23, 2014
John Amend has developed a new gripper called Versaball that challenges the conventional design pattern.
John Amend has developed a new gripper called Versaball that challenges the conventional design pattern.
The gear-filled gams can span nine feet, featuring seven points of articulation.
If 3-D printers are ever going to live up to their promise as the factories of the future, they'll need to do more than just pop out plastic doodads.
Cubli, a project out of the Dynamic Systems and Control lab at the Swiss engineering school ETH Zurich, is a 6 inch by 6 inch metal block that employs three spinning wheels to perform a variety of tricks.

Colorful wooden blocks are encoded with instructions for the robot, and when placed in sequence on the compiler board they become a kind of low-fi software.
These adorable little robots have a big goal: teach kids computer programming.
Outside, the city is bracing for the most violent typhoon of the past decade, a storm with winds topping 75 mph that's already dumping endless sheets of rain from the night sky. Yet it all seems mild compared to what's happening inside a bunker of a theater two floors below the wind and the rain.
In this clip, we see the real state of the art in self-assembling bots: a bunch of little magnetic cubes scuttling around a tabletop. It's much cooler than it sounds.

Rick Porcello Rumors
AL Notes: Santana, O's, Porcello, Masterson, Rangers
Big-league ballplayers make plenty of money, but that doesn't mean free agency isn't stressful. Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal takes a fascinating look at free agency as seen through the eyes of Red Sox players. Chris Capuano reports that, whenever he's a free agent, he sends his agent a list of teams in order of preference, but then has to wait to see if there's mutual interest. He also notes that, typically, playing for a winner becomes more and more important to a player the older he gets. David Ross says that, before the 2009 season, he signed to be a backup with the Braves rather than a starter with the Astros because the Braves offered a two-year deal.
Here are more notes from around the American League:
- Conflicting reports yesterday regarding Ervin Santana has everyone confused. "I really don't know what's real and what's not real in that case," Orioles Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Dan Duquette told reporters, including Rich Dubroff of CSNBaltimore.com.
- The biggest culprit for Santana's situation is the right-hander's own camp, which dramatically overestimated his market and then was slow to change gears, ESPN's Buster Olney writes (Insider subscription required). Olney suggests that, if Santana's demands had been more realistic, he could have at least wound up with a contract similar to Matt Garza's or Ricky Nolasco's, rather than the one-year deal he now appears likely to receive.
- Back to the Orioles, Duquette still has the financial flexibility to improve the roster, but is confident in the pitching they currently have in camp, according to MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli. "We have some more resources that we can invest in our team, and we'll take a look at each case as it comes up," Duquette said. "We do have a little more pitching depth with our starting pitching going into the season, and some of the young pitchers we have high hopes for are continuing to develop their skills."
- GM Dave Dombrowski says the Tigers won't be trading any starting pitchers, including Rick Porcello, reports Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press. Earlier today, the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo reported that the Tigers would field offers for Porcello.
- Starting pitcher Justin Masterson, who is eligible for free agency after the 2014 season, has surprisingly suggested to the Indians that he might be willing to sign a shorter-term extension, perhaps three years, but the Indians have not yet responded with an offer, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman tweets.
- The Rangers are trying to develop a long-term answer at catcher, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. Texas hasn't had stability at catcher since Ivan Rodriguez left over a decade ago. "It's a topic of conversation, absolutely," says GM Jon Daniels. "We've had some guys come over here as big-time catching prospects, but we haven't developed our own long-term championship-caliber starter." The Rangers have beefed up their coaching staff in an attempt to help their catchers develop. The Rangers' best hope of becoming a homegrown regular catcher is, of course, top prospect Jorge Alfaro, who played most of the 2013 season with Class A Hickory.

Cafardo On Stanton, De Aza, Porcello, Drew, Britton
In today's column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe wonders if Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton could wind up with the Red Sox. Marlins GM Dan Jennings swears up and down that Stanton isn't going anywhere and even if he was for sale, Boston would be one of many clubs in pursuit. If things suddenly changed and the Fish made Stanton available, Cafardo wonders if a package of Will Middlebrooks or Garin Cecchini plus Matt Barnes, Christian Vazquez, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Mookie Betts could get a deal done. More from today's column:
- The Twins have some interest in White Sox outfielder Alejandro De Aza, who is getting interest even though he's not everything a club would want in a center fielder, leadoff type. Last season, De Aza slashed .264/.323/.405 with 17 homers in 675 plate appearances.
- Major league sources say the Tigers are still willing to listen to offers on Rick Porcello. While he has shown promise, Detroit would like a hurler with more consistency.
- The bidding for Ervin Santana has reportedly come down to the Orioles and Blue Jays. Cafardo hears the Rockies were also in it for some of the day while the Phillies did their due diligence but did not appear to be in the hunt.
- Bud Norris could be an alternative if Tommy Hunter can't do the job as Orioles closer, but he also has trade interest and could have some appeal in the NL. For budgetary reasons, the O's probably wouldn't go for Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, but it's possible if the Angelos family believes that they have a chance to win it all.
- One Red Sox player says that he's not crying for free agent Stephen Drew. "Why not accept a $14.1 million qualifying offer for one year?" the player said. "Is that a bad deal? That's a lot of money. Stephen would be here playing with us by now if he'd done that."
- Scouts are watching Orioles pitcher Zach Britton closely as he is out of options. Still only 26, Britton is still a pitcher scouts think they can salvage. The O's are aware of his value and the interest other clubs have, but could stash him in the bullpen if they can't get good value for him.

Tigers Avoid Arbitration With Porcello, Jackson
The Tigers and Rick Porcello have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $8.5MM deal, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter). They've also agreed to a $6MM deal for 2014 with Austin Jackson, Sherman tweets.
Porcello, 25, was arb-eligible for the third time this offseason as a Super Two player. The Excel Sports client is controllable through the 2015 campaign and was projected to earn $7.7MM, per MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz. Porcello relies heavily on his high ground-ball rate and could see an uptick in performance with a new-look — and presumably, defensively superior — infield behind him in 2014.
Jackson, 26, is also controllable through the 2015 campaign, though he is not a Super Two player. A Scott Boras client, Jackson had been projected by Swartz to earn $5.3MM.
Quick Hits: Tigers, Napoli, Rangers, Rays
An interesting study by Conor Glassey for his website examines which states big leaguers in the past five years were drafted from. As expected, the warm-weather states of California, Florida and Texas dominate the rankings, together accounting for more than 40 percent of drafted players. However, Illinois high schools were found to be surprisingly productive in developing future big leaguers. Let's round up the latest from around baseball:
- Buster Olney runs through Max Scherzer rumors in a video for ESPN, concluding that he will "almost certainly not be" traded this winter. The Tigers are in full win-now mode, and other teams are unlikely to surrender major talent for this year's AL Cy Young winner, as he's not expected to sign a long-term extension with Scott Boras as his agent. Scherzer, who's on track to hit free agency after next season, is projected to earn $13.6MM in his final season of arbitration by MLBTR's Matt Swartz.
- Rick Porcello is "expected" to be traded, Olney says in the same video.
- The avascular necrosis in Mike Napoli's hips has come up in discussions with some clubs, agent Brian Grieper said in an interview with WEEI, but other teams don't consider it an issue. WEEI's Alex Speier notes that Grieper opted not to disclose whether the first baseman had received a multi-year offer yet.
- T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com becomes the latest writer to report that Masahiro Tanaka isn't a top target for the Rangers. Offense is more of a priority for Texas this winter, Sullivan writes.
- Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times previews the Rays' potential targets in trade and free agency this offseason. At first base, the Mets' Ike Davis might be an option, along with Logan Morrison of the Marlins, Mitch Moreland of the Rangers, and another Met, Lucas Duda. In free agency, the Rays could attempt to court Corey Hart, Lyle Overbay or Justin Morneau. Topkin also examines possibilities at catcher and closer.

AL Central Rumors: Hughes, Royals, Pierzynski, Twins
The Royals are among the clubs with interest in free agent pitcher Phil Hughes, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Kansas City pitching coach Dave Eiland knows Hughes well from his time spent with the Yankees and is a fan of his. A return to New York isn't in the cards as both sides recognize that a change of scenery would be best. The latest from the AL Central…
- With Ervin Santana looking for a $100MM contract, the Royals are prepared to move on to look for other pitching options, Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star writes. Besides Hughes, the Royals also have interest in Tim Hudson and Josh Johnson. "We want a bat, but in our meetings, the main thing we talk about is finding someone to put between [James] Shields and [Jeremy] Guthrie," one Royals official said.
- In regards to those bats, Dutton says the Royals have interest in bringing Carlos Beltran back to Kansas City and maybe signing Rafael Furcal as a second baseman. Furcal may have enough suitors to remain at shortstop if he wants.
- A Twins source tells 1500 ESPN's Darren Wolfson that "we can only hope" on the possibility of A.J. Pierzynski signing with the team. Wolfson notes that Pierzynski might be more apt to sign with a contender, however. The Twins are rumored to be taking an interest in the catching market since Joe Mauer will be a full-time first baseman in 2014.
- With Rick Porcello reportedly being shopped, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press wonders the Tigers and Twins could swing an intra-division trade.
- In his latest piece on fixing the Twins, Phil Mackey of 1500 ESPN looks at how much money Minnesota can spend this winter and how they can best allocate it.
- While the top catching option available (Brian McCann) could land a nine-figure deal, the White Sox appear to match up with free agent Jarrod Saltalamacchia, writes Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com. Chicago would like an improvement behind the plate after neither Tyler Flowers nor Josh Phegley impressed last season.

Tigers Open To Trading Max Scherzer Or Rick Porcello
The Tigers have told teams that they're open to trading either Max Scherzer or Rick Porcello, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter). Scherzer has been involved in trade whispers for the last few weeks as the Tigers are considering their options in the event that they can't hammer out a new deal before he hits the open market after the 2014 season.
The 29-year-old Scherzer pitched a career-high 214 1/3 innings, turning in a 2.90 ERA with 10.1 K/9, 2.4 BB/9 and a 36.3 percent ground-ball rate in 2013. While he earned just $6.725MM in 2013, MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projects an increase to a whopping $13.6MM in 2014 following his dominant campaign. Scherzer's 2.98 SIERA and 2.74 FIP are both among the seven best marks in baseball and among the six starters with better FIP marks, only Clayton Kershaw has a higher innings total.
Porcello, 25 in December, turned in a 4.32 ERA with 7.2 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 across 177 innings of work. Those numbers and some of the advanced statistics (3.19 xFIP) indicate that 2013 was Porcello's best season yet.
Tigers And Mariners Notes: Wells, Porcello, Loe
Former Tiger and current Mariner Casper Wells could be headed back to his old team, MLB.com's Jason Beck posits. "Maybe Casper Wells doesn't make the Mariners roster," says Beck. "Maybe the Tigers can parlay their depth in another spot, maybe an extra reliever, into an extra outfielder." The Tigers currently have an open spot available for a righty-hitting outfielder. If they don't pursue one from outside the organization, that spot could go to Matt Tuiasosopo. Here are more notes from Detroit and Seattle.
- The Tigers shouldn't trade pitcher Rick Porcello because doing so would weaken their depth, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman argues. The better move, Heyman suggests, would be to place Porcello in their starting rotation and use Drew Smyly as an insurance policy. That's a viewpoint Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski seems to appreciate: "Really, one of our big needs is starting pitching depth," says Dombrowski. "If we trade one of these guys [either Porcello or Smyly], then we hurt ourselves more in that area."
- Heyman also notes that Dombrowski isn't nearly as eager as manager Jim Leyland to pursue a closer from outside the organization. "A manager and a general manager are in two different spots," Dombrowski says."I understand from a manager's perspective, he'd rather have one guy he can point to on a daily basis."
- Jesus Montero's injury could complicate Kameron Loe's bid to be added to the Mariners' roster, Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times writes. Montero was struck in the head on Saturday by Francisco Lindor's backswing, and it's not clear when Montero will be able to return to action. If Montero isn't ready to go to start the season, the Mariners will have to add another catcher to the 40-man roster, perhaps Jesus Sucre. That might make it difficult for the Mariners to find space on their 40-man for Loe, and Loe can trigger an out clause in his contract on Monday.
- Mariners pitcher Joe Saunders is happy to have the offseason behind him, MLB.com's John Schlegel reports. Saunders signed a one-year deal with the M's as a free agent. "It was nerve-racking, not knowing where you're going," he says. "It was the first real free agency for me, and it was an experience, for sure. It's a good one to be over with. I feel bad for Kyle Lohse."

Padres Notes: Garcia, Guzman, Porcello, Byrnes
Freddy Garcia hasn't pitched well for the Padres during Spring Training and is open to being moved to the bullpen rather than the starting rotation, the veteran righty tells Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune. What Garcia won't accept, however, is a minor league assignment. "The bullpen, why not?" Garcia said. "But I'll go home at the end of spring training rather than go to Triple-A. I want to pitch. But I'm not going to Triple-A." Garcia signed a minor league deal with the Padres in January. He is scheduled to start on Saturday, an outing that Center thinks "might be an audition for another team seeking pitching."
Here are some more items about the Friars from Center's recent chat with fans…
- The Padres explored trading for Rick Porcello last winter and asked the Tigers if they had any interest in Jesus Guzman as part of the deal. San Diego reportedly turned down a recent offer of Porcello for Huston Street or Luke Gregerson, though Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski has denied offering Porcello to anyone.
- General manager Josh Byrnes said yesterday that he isn't currently involved in any talks for Porcello.
- Center doesn't see the value in acquiring Porcello since Detroit's asking price is too high for a pitcher who Center feels isn't necessarily better than the Padres' young arms.
- Padres ownership has given Byrnes the go-ahead to make moves and signed off on "a major offseason deal" that Byrnes was interested in but didn't end up coming together.
- Center believes the club's management team wouldn't be in danger of losing their jobs in the case of a 90-loss season "but this is baseball. Things change with the wind."

Olney On Chapman, Dodgers, Cabrera, Tigers
"[Aroldis] Chapman stands to lose millions of dollars by committing himself to a relief role," writes ESPN's Buster Olney in his latest column (Insider subscription required). The fact that Chapman likes closing enough to risk these future riches, however, makes Olney think the Reds are making the right move by keeping Chapman in the bullpen as the club pursues a World Series title. "Chapman doesn't have a plow horse's show-me-the-direction approach; he's known to be a complicated guy, and if he were to fight [starting] internally all year, it would be a mess," Olney says.
Here are some more items from Olney…
- Rival executives think Asdrubal Cabrera will be on the trade block if the Indians get off to a slow start. Olney speculates that the Dodgers could be players for Cabrera in the wake of Hanley Ramirez's thumb injury, though for now the Dodgers are satisfied to use internal options on the left side of their infield.
- The Tigers "have not made a single specific proposal to another team, asking for a particular player" in exchange for Rick Porcello. Detroit has told teams that they will listen to offers for the right-hander but only in exchange for Major League players, not prospects. Several teams have been linked to Porcello, with the Padres and Rangers showing the most recent interest.
- "Nothing is close" between the Giants and Buster Posey on a long-term extension. We heard earlier this week that the two sides were still deciding the length of the possible new contract. Olney believes that Joey Votto's recent extension with the Reds could be a model for Posey's new deal since Posey is athletic enough to handle playing third base or first base later his career.

Multiple Teams Pursuing Rick Porcello
6:53pm: Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski vehemently denied that he had proposed any deals involving Porcello, including any offers to the Padres, reports Lynn Henning of The Detroit News. Dombrowski acknowledged that his "phone has been ringing a lot," and added that "this is the best I've ever seen [Porcello] throw the baseball."
12:07pm: The Padres have turned down two offers from the Tigers, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio reports (on Twitter). The Padres declined to take Porcello for Huston Street or Luke Gregerson, a Tigers source told Bowden.
THURSDAY, 8:33am: The Cardinals are checking out Porcello, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (on Twitter).
WEDNESDAY: The Rangers and Padres are the teams most actively discussing potential Rick Porcello trades with the Tigers, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports report. The Orioles have also scouted the right-hander.
Despite the strong interest, rival teams wonder if the Tigers will actually trade Porcello. Instead of making a deal, the Tigers could choose to keep Porcello and use Drew Smyly in the bullpen or as a starter at Triple-A Toledo. The FOX writers report that the Tigers will not move Porcello unless they obtain a strong return.
The Padres made an "aggressive" offer last week and the Tigers rejected it, Rosenthal and Morosi report. Talks with the Rangers are not advanced at this point. The Tigers appear to like shortstop prospect Leury Garcia and right-handed pitching prospect Nick Tepesch. Detroit would want a third player added to the package, but the Rangers are reluctant to move even Tepesch.
The Red Sox could have interest in Porcello, yet they don't want to reduce their bullpen depth, the FOX duo reports. The Orioles aren't inclined to pursue Porcello aggressively, as they have many young starting pitchers of their own.
The Tigers also seek a right-handed hitting outfielder. They have talked about re-acquiring Casper Wells from the Mariners, Rosenthal and Morosi report. The Tigers traded Wells to Seattle midway through the 2011 season in the deal that sent Doug Fister to Detroit.

General Electric Downgraded as it Enters 'Transitional Period'
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- General Electric's
(GE - Get Report) stock is fairly valued, considering the major transition the company is going through to hit CEO Jeff Immelt's goal of deriving 70% of operating earnings from industrial businesses, according to Oppenheimer analyst Christopher Glynn.
The analyst on Thursday downgraded GE to a "perform" rating from "outperform," because "2014-15 represents a transitional period" that projects a compound annual growth rate for earnings-per-share in the mid single digits over the next two years. Glynn estimates GE's operating earnings will grow from $1.64 a share in 2013 to $1.70 in 2014 and $1.80 in 2015.
General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt's long-term goal for GE has been to transition the industrial giant from over-reliance on GE Capital, its financial service subsidiary. GE Capital contributed 47% of GE's operating earnings during the third quarter.
GE in November announced it would spin off its North American consumer finance unit through a transaction that will be tax-free foo GE shareholders and include an initial public offering of up to 20% of the equity in the new company. The IPO is expected to be completed "later in 2014," after which General Electric plans to make a complete exit from the consumer finance business by distributing its remaining 80% stake of shares in the new company on a tax-free basis during 2015.
So there's some dilution for investors to consider in advance of the completion of the spinoff, which will result in "estimated $0.20 of 2015 dilution from NA Retail Finance (NARF) exit that we expect is roughly half offset by reduced share count (split-off tender plus base buyback)," Glynn wrote in a note to clients.
GE had already made tremendous progress in shrinking GE Capital, with the unit's "ending net investment" (ENI), excluding non-interest bearing liabilities, cash and equivalents, declining to $385 billion as of Sept. 30, from $425 billion a year earlier. GE Capital will shed another $50 billion or so through the spinoff of the consumer finance unit, bringing the unit within Immelt's long-term ENI target range of $300 billion to $350 billion.
There's an eventual silver lining for investors after the transition is completed, which is a greater ability for GE to deploy excess capital through higher dividends and share buybacks, which can significantly reduce the share count, thus pushing EPS higher.
The long-term initiative to trim GE Capital will improve GE's liquidity allowing the company to continue providing middle market commercial financing and continue to lend to its industrial customers, while avoiding the type of liquidity crisis it faced in 2008. At the height of the U.S. credit crisis, liquidity in the commercial paper market dried up, forcing GE to rely on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGF) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Term Asset Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF).
Despite the neutral outlook for GE's stock over the next two years, Glynn wrote, "We continue to view shares as a solid store of value, with the 3.2% dividend yield, a case for solid industrial organic growth drivers, and understated 2014 earnings power given about $1B pretax net restructuring (~7c) included in our estimates."

Product description
This is a wide-ranging collection of essays on ancient Roman literary careers and their reception in later European literature, with contributions by leading experts. Starting from the three major Roman models for constructing a literary career - Virgil (the rota Vergiliana), Horace and Ovid - the volume then looks at alternative and counter-models in antiquity: Propertius, Juvenal, Cicero and Pliny. A range of post-antique responses to the ancient patterns is examined, from Dante to Wordsworth, and including Petrarch, Shakespeare, Milton, Marvell, Dryden and Goethe. These chapters pose the question of the continuing relevance of ancient career models as ideas of authorship change over the centuries, leading to varying engagements and disengagements with classical literary careers. The volume also considers other ways of concluding or extending a literary career, such as bookburning and figurative metempsychosis.

The Carlyle Group And Vitol Group To Invest In Varo Energy To Create A Major New Energy Midstream Group Across North-West Europe
Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group and the Vitol Group of Companies today announced a transaction intended to establish Varo Energy B.V. as a major midstream energy business in north-west Europe.
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Vitol and Carlyle International Energy Partners (CIEP) will each own 50% of an enlarged Varo Energy Group. AtlasInvest will sell its shareholding in Varo Energy to CIEP while Vitol will reduce its current stake to enable each party to own 50%.
In conjunction with CIEP's investment into Varo Energy, Varo Energy will acquire from Vitol all shares in PT Holdings GmbH, the holding company for Petrotank Neutrale Tanklager GmbH and all shares in Vitol Germany GmbH.
Furthermore, Varo Energy will also acquire, by means of a separate transaction, all shares currently held by OMV Deutschland GmbH (Vienna SE - OMV:AV) in Bayernoil Raffineriegesellschaft mbH, as well as certain downstream assets owned by OMV Deutschland GmbH.
On completion of these transactions, the Varo Energy business will comprise three core areas; refining wholesale distribution and storage, with a combined refining capacity of 160k bbl/d, sales of 10MM m3 per year and 1.7 MM m3 of storage capacity. Its assets will include the Cressier refinery in Switzerland, all the Petrotank storage facilities throughout Germany, additional storage facilities in Switzerland, and – after the acquisition from OMV - also a 45% shareholding in the Bayernoil refinery in Bavaria, Germany. The distribution business will continue to serve clients in Hamburg, Bavaria and along the Rhine, as well as throughout Switzerland. This is the second investment by CIEP, a fund that focuses on oil and gas exploration & production, midstream, refining & marketing and oil field services in Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia. Each of the transactions described above are subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. These transactions are expected to close before or during the first half of 2014.

There's already posts here (mine included) that cover tailerons (elevon mixing on two elevator halves) plus throttle for a 3 channel plane. With rudder that would be 4 channels obviously, so not sure what you meant. Tailerons with no rudder is pretty easy to fly, I think, but the roll rate is poor. Maybe that's OK for a trainer, though.
May 15, 2011, 08:52 PM | ||
okay sorry
what posts? I should have said 4 ch with tailerons, rudder and throttle I guess is the roll rate really slow with tailerons, or so so? Anyone use tailerons and ailerons? Quote:
May 15, 2011, 08:56 PM | |
Search this thread on the word tailerons and you will get all the posts. Some include video links, so you can see the roll rate... it's maybe 1 roll every 2-3 seconds. With ONLY ailerons and clipped wings, I get about 2-3 rolls per second... tailerons would not add any benefit other than some drag.

Prime -- that canopy looks great! Might have to borrow that idea as well!
Made some progress on my "sport jet" version. I've done most of the skinning of the fuse- got a few holes left. The duct came out pretty good -- it is definitely the cleanest duct that I have ever made and I look forward to seeing how it performs. I've tested the fan at WOT, and it will not collapse. I decided to build anhedral into the horiz. stab. Each half will have its own servo. I will build a new set of wings for this one --- keeping the sweep but losing the dihedral. I also need to figure out what to do with the rudder... |

It glides forever. Almost doesn't want to land. My set up on the stock airframe is light, 1000mAh 2s batt, 18A ESC & 2208-14 motor. I wouldn't do elevons. Only because it's to simple and flies so well on ruddo & elev. |

well build snice. I built one with a 64mm edf mounted out top. really easy build. flew great!
but I found that EDF uses a lot of power compared to a prop. but lots of fun. my current build im doing a nacelle mounted (ala polaris inspired) 2200kv with a 6x4. Excited to see how it turns out. Now to clip the wings or not? Good fun friends and cheap too id love to see someone take 2 and make a p38 bash |

Search for my posts... there's a lot of pics and some video in many of them. If I were to build a third one, I'd just go pusher jet with the motor on a stick in the butt. |

Missoni Spring 2014: A Colorful Pastiche
There are designers who use one reference, and then there's Angela Missoni. Her Spring 2014 collection was a pastiche of ideas that ranged from Indian sarongs and Japanese pop songs to volcano prints, seascapes, florals, and even a new riff on the house's logo.
But while this collection included multitudes, it never felt too busy. Missoni is a master, after all, and she managed to distill all those references into a vibrant offering of separates and dresses with remarkable character and spirit.
