Full Review
A lot of people have the misconception that people who use the train are poor or traveling on a budget; while that may hold true for a small percentage of people, a majority of them have a fear of flying, find it easier to use the train than the plane or just like kicking back and relaxing. Until I made this trip across country I had no clue the number of people that used the train for business, to get back and forth to school and as a way to commute without getting stressed out behind the wheel of a car. There are some strange people on the train system but most of the people that I came into contact with were down to earth people that were getting from point "A" to "B" and opted to take the train over the bus or plane. So why on God's green earth would I pick the train to go cross country? Well, as I sit here getting thrown back and forth typing on an almost eight year old laptop computer I am still trying to figure that out. I think part of me just needed to decompress - to take a break from packing and selling off about 80% of my belongings and saying goodbye to my business, friends and all that I've known for the past few years. I'll admit it, I had a few anxiety attacks on the train - mostly when things got quiet and the events that took place over the past week started to really hit home. You'll come across people that are sad, drunk, chipper and solemn on the train, as long as you don't get sucked into their personal drama you should be fine.
Most of this review will be written "as it happens" documented via my trusty but aging
laptop computer
on a 70+ hour trip cross country. My oldest boys are meeting up with me in New York so it's just me and my youngest here. He's having an absolute ball so far and I can honestly say that if you have small kids and you aren't pressed for time this is the best way to go. There's plenty of leg room, the seats are adjustable, you can get up and walk around and if all else fails they can look out the window at the scenery. My youngest made friends with two
kids that were traveling from Los Angeles to Lancaster Pennsylvania. All three of them are like peas and carrots - talking about home schooling, their farm and what life is like on both sides of the fence. I got the chance to talk to the parents and they were more than happy to tell me about their way of life and all that they experienced in
Los Angeles
. Their father was talking about how their oldest son left "the farm" to find himself and I was really shocked that he had such an open and positive outlook on the fact that his son chose leave their community. If it hadn't been for taking the train there's a good chance that I would have never had that type of one on one interaction with such awesome people.
Booking & Reserving
There are several ways to book your trip - online, through a travel agency, at the
gate or over the phone. The website offers you the very best price and allows you to see multiple departure and arrival times as well as what upgrades will cost you. When I made my initial reservation I was quoted $235.90 for two coach tickets with the option to upgrade to a sleeper cabin for an extra $100.00 per leg of the trip [Los Angeles to Chicago and Chicago to New York]. This was the best choice for me since I didn't have to worry about being nickled and dimed to death with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not to mention that you get your own "space" on the train and don't have to worry about people bumping into you, or any of the other things that can happen on a train. The perks of getting a sleeper cabin are numerous, especially if you are traveling with children. They can sleep when they want, have their own play area and you don't have to worry about stowing items under seats or in over head compartments when you are at a meal or off the train. The one bad thing is that there is no way to lock your door from the outside so if you have any valuables, take them with you. The concierge is there pretty much all the time but you never know when someone is going to try and pull a fast one. Cabins vary so be sure to look online to see the different views and accommodations that they have; you can get something as small as a two room sleeper all the way up to the family sized one that has a shower and private bathroom. Good rule of thumb here - if you can't get hot water to come out of the spigots in the bathrooms, get ready for a very cold shower.
So why would you want to spend the extra money on a sleeper cabin?
For one you will be able to really relax; the seats fold out into beds and trust me, you'll really appreciate being able to stretch out after you've tried to sleep sitting upright. Another perk is that you have your own area, you can leave things sitting around that you otherwise wouldn't normally be able to do. The sleeper cabins all have 120V outlets so you can charge your
cellular phone
or use a portable electronic device. This was one of my biggest concerns; my mobile doesn't hold a charge for more than 20 hours and I needed to be able to keep in touch with people so having the outlets really put me at ease. These outlets are usually available in the coach section as well as in the business class but this varies from train to train so if you have the chance to charge your phone or
- do it while you can. One of the downsides about sleeper cabins is that there's no way to control the temperature. All the air is recycled so it does get a little stuffy after a few hours, when the train makes a stop to pick up passengers or do a service stop you can open your door to get some fresh air providing that you are close to one of the doors. Another possible downside is that fact that there's
no smoking
at all on the trains. This is great for the overall health and well-being of passengers but there is always someone that is going to try to get away with it.
What happens then?
Well, you
get kicked off the train at the next stop - even if it's out in the middle of no where - and you could get a huge fine from Amtrak as well as local police. Above all that, the smell spreads through out the train and even though I smoke - I'd never be so arrogant as to do it where it's not permitted. If you are tempted to light one up on the train ask yourself if it's really worth it to be embarrassed by being kicked off the train and left stranded somewhere. Not to mention having to buy another ticket to complete your trip. Wait for the train to stop at a station then follow the hoards of other people who are running out on to the side of the train to have one.
Is there really a difference between the coach first and business class?
You bet there is! If you are willing to book it advance of your travel date and do it online chances are you are going to save a tremendous amount of money in the long run. How's that? Well, if you get a sleeper cabin you are considered first class and
your meals are included with the price of your ticket. That might not sound like it's a huge deal but when you see the prices of the food you'll be happy that you opted to go this route. I'll go in to more detail about the prices of the food, both in the cafe as well as in the dining car but a good example is the price of the dinners - the cheapest one is $10.50 and let me put it bluntly, I could have made a better tasting meal with my eyes blindfolded. But sometimes it's not the price of the meal but how it is served. The dining car is nice but the staff is rude, quick to try and get you to finish your meal and if you order water instead of a
, good luck getting a refill. The meals are all priced to include tax but the tip is up to you. I normally tip very well but I left him two dollars on a $22.00 meal. Sorry, if you are going to judge me by the way I am dressed or the fact that I showed up after the first class people, then hey, you are lucky to get any tip at all. One thing that sucks about the website is that they
have a list of foods that they sell, meals that they serve or prices of the "fast food" they serve in the snack car. If you want to know some prices - here are a few. $1.50 for a can of soda, $3.00 for a single serve pizza, $1.25 for a small bag of
, coffee or tea - $1.25 - $1.50 ... not exactly cheap huh?
Amtrak Online
If you are interested in traveling with
you will want to take advantage of what the website has to offer. You can see the train departure and arrival times, prices, special offers and things that you will need to know in advance. Some trains have long layovers in places like Chicago and New Mexico - this might sound nice but most of the time you are stuck some place for a couple of hours without anything to do and if you are even thinking about going outside to sightsee, think again. The site is pretty easy to get around and navigate through and you can do pretty much everything online. As far as price goes, if you see a fare that you like do
wait until the last minute to book it. 95% of the time the fare that you see on the site is
what you will pay if you show up at the station to get your ticket. I learned that the hard way a few times when I took the train to Los Angeles from
San Diego
I've never had any problems using the site but it does go down at times for them to add or remove things from the site. These black outs don't last for more than a couple of minutes but it can get annoying if you are in the middle of something. There are
outside advertisements or pop ups so you don't have to worry about getting dragged to another site. I elected to start an account with Amtrak so I could keep track of fares and get updates but this is strictly optional. When I charged tickets to my credit card I did have a little trouble using my
debit card
since it didn't have a CCV number but the newer cards pretty much all have this type of safety feature to them. If you are going to pay for tickets with a credit card and pick them up at the station you might want to take the card with you in case they want to see it. Most of the time when I went to pickup tickets for myself or someone else all I had to do was give them some basic information and they handed me the ticket.
When you are at the site you can do a lot of different stuff but one of the coolest things is that you can pick out the type of train you are taking, times that you leave a certain station and if you want to pay for or reserve a sleeper cabin. Being able to do all this online saves you a lot of hassle and waiting when you get on the train - plus you don't have to wait to see if there are any sleeper cabins or upgrades available. If you elect to pay for your ticket online and there is enough time between your booking date and your departure date you can have the ticket sent to you
I would make sure that you have enough time to get the ticket in the mail. I think there is a ten day cut off time so if you are traveling within ten days you will have to go and pick up the ticket - this makes sense because there is a good chance that the ticket might not reach you in time and trust me, the counter people are less than sympathetic when it comes to dealing with people who lose, misplace or damage their tickets.
Who To Complain To
There are a few places that you can complain to when you get crappy service from employees or your trip is ruined for some reason. Like I said, most of the people you run into are going to be friendly but don't expect them to go the extra mile to help you out if you need it. You can call customer service to voice a complaint but all that is going to do is get you an "I'm sorry to hear that" and not much more. Writing a letter gets you the best results
there is something else you can do. Write a letter in Word or Works [on your computer] then cut and paste it into the online form that Amtrak provides at the site. Make sure you say "a copy of this letter will be sent to corporate headquarters" - that way the person that is taking care of the customer service area will have to answer to someone about what happened as well as stating what they did to rectify the situation. Complaining via the online form is good but without letting them know that other copies of the letter are going out to offices, chances are you will get a canned email.
Payment Options
You can pay for your ticket or reservation online with
or Visa, some people said that they used their Discover Card to pay but I never saw that option when I booked or reserved online. Since most of my tickets were for a short distance [San Diego to Los Angeles] it was easier for me to just go to the station and pick them up. Once you have paid for your ticket you can see if you can get it sent to your address or if you need to go to pick it up. In some cases you can go to your local travel agent and have then do all the work for you but that might mean a higher fare. To me the easiest way to get your ticket is to pay for it online then go to a station and pick it up – but
wait until the last minute in case there is some trouble with them finding your reservation.
The Bottom Line
The site is easy to use and I would much rather deal with it than the people who work at the ticket gates.
Most of them are rude, could care less about your satisfaction and are just there for an eight hour shift.
Amtrak is a nice way to travel if you have the time and patience and their website makes it a lot easier to book, reserve or inquire about prices. If you are traveling with kids it is an entertaining and educational experience for them and they get to travel for half price but the younger ones get to go for free if they are going with someone who pays full price. I like the way the website performs, has current information and gives you all the details you need to know.
important that you read all the details of your trip before you confirm it. There are new laws in effect that you should know inside and out. On our trip there were a lot of stops in small places where drug enforcement agents and dogs boarded the train to do "routine" searches of baggage and passenger areas. This might throw you off schedule a little here and there but most of the time you end up getting where you are going on time or a little early. The stuff that they post at the site is there to make you aware of what is going on with their employees, the rules and regulations and how they are working to get you to your destination in the safest way possible.
As always, thanks for the read!

Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Interview with Bill Nye and follow-up thoughts from president Haarsma.
We need safe places in which to raise the complex issues of submitting wholeheartedly to the authority of God's Word in the Scriptures while wrestling with the important findings and perspectives in the natural sciences.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.

Park baseball: Wolfpack fall to 1-13 with losses to Mustangs, Ponies
Stillwater made quick work of Park Tuesday in an 11-1, five-inning victory in Stillwater.
Park had six hits in the Suburban East Conference game with JT Bickel and Max Stedt each going 2-for-3. Bickel drove in the Wolfpack's only run in the top of the fifth inning.
The Ponies had a 1-0 lead after the first inning when they busted the game open with a seven-run third inning. Stillwater added a run in the fourth and two in the fifth to end the game.

The Space
Drenched in sunlight, Agave House is nestled in the most sought after location in the Ojai Valley, the fabled East End. Next door to Beatrice Woods previous home and studio, it is also a short stroll to the Krishnamurti Library, and the historical Thacher school, founded in 1885.
Situated at the base of Horn Canyon ( 5 minutes from town and 20 minutes from the beach ), it has sweeping views of the Ojai mountain range, repleate with low flying hawks, incredible hiking, and a huge private yard, filled with tropical plants, succulents, a Moroccan tile patio with chiminea, and a field of Aloe.
Just up the trail which winds past the house and up over the "Pink Moment" bluffs, resplendent with local flora and fauna, crystal streams, and a natural climbing wall, is a Pilates studio offering world class massage in an outdoor setting. Natural sage, aloe, and aromatic herbs are right outside your front door, and down the road is an organic Pizza Parlor nestled amongst orange trees, oaks, and more sweeping vistas. The good news is, you are still 1 hour and 15 minutes from Los Angeles and a nice bike ride from town.
The house is restored with birch floors and walls, skylights, mirrors and windows to reflect the outdoors. Downstairs, glass doors open onto the private yard. It offers wifi, dishwasher, flat screen TV, washer/dryer and we can provide in house maid service upon request during your stay. The bathroom features a restored clawfoot tub, birch paneling, a skylight, which is great for star-gazing while soaking in an aromatic bath. The bedding and mattress match top hotels, for an exquisite sleep beneath another skylight, and one more view of Montana sized stars, clear as diamonds due to the lack of city light.
The concept of the space is to offer a totally serene indoor/outdoor experience with all the luxury of good, comfortable design mixed with a really lovely collection of antiques and art, combined with a high tech environment to cater to those who must work while away from the city. It is perfect for weekends or for the week to work in nature, near organic cuisine, Whole Foods style markets, world class spas, yoga, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and of course..surfing!
Surf boards and a hammock await you. This is the perfect place to re-charge all of your senses...enjoy!
Guest Access
Guests have access to the best hiking in Ojai right outside the front door, there are fresh oranges to pick from the tree on the property, mountain streams, pepper trees, a soccer field surrounded by the mountain range and generally the most gorgeous flora and fauna that Ojai has to offer.
Interaction with Guests
Guest can text me or call me at any time if they need something. I live in Los Angeles but my folks live on the property and are available for anything guests may need from extra firewood, to tea light candles. The key and a manual are left for them so if they don't want to see anyone, they have that option also. The property is one acre so complete privacy is available.
The Neighborhood
The East End of Ojai is the most gorgeous area in Ojai. It is a sought after respite for people from neighboring Los Angeles where vacation homes are kept, but is also one steeped with long time residents who will give a friendly wave to anyone who happens past on foot, bicycle or car. Low traffic, close to town, like mountains in Spain, or the South of France. It's exquisite by all standards of what paradise looks like. Flanked by two prep schools, students jogging and horseback riding are a frequent sight. It's a great place to unwind.
Getting around
There is a cute open air trolley car that picks up and let's off at Boccalis restaurant from the center of town which is a walk from the house. Drive is 3-5 minutes. Walk is about 45 minutes.
Other Things to Note
The house is the perfect balance of nature and town. Just far enough away to make one feel completely at peace. A massage and Pilates studio are a short walk up the trail, and hiking is at the front door. Because the house flanks a national forest, please be aware that indigenous California wildlife is part of the landscape. We advise that you keep your dog on a leash while outside of the fenced yard. Otherwise enjoy the utter gorgeousness! Incredible beaches are a 30 minute drive away and surfboards are available!
Please be sure to adhere to check-in/check-out times as we often are booked back to back and Kristy the housekeeper needs time to make the house sparkle:). Please no smoking. Please leave keys on counter upon departure. Please leave all dishes in dishwasher and run it upon departure. If you bring dogs prone to barking, please do not leave them unattended for long periods of time. Please no electric musical instruments. Please do not leave candles burning unattended. Please remove excess traces of your pet inside and outside of the house upon departure. No illegal drugs or substances please. Enjoy your stay!
This place was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled off a private road, it sits amongst trees and is near the foot of a great hike. The view is great, and the place is wonderfully shabby-chic quirky, filled with glass windows and skylights everywhere. Didn't meet the host, but that was cool because we were looking for a writing and anniversary getaway.
The home was immaculate and in the most beautiful setting. We got lost and could not locate the home as we arrived when it was dark. I called Caitlin and she patiently stayed on the phone and guided us to the home.
I stayed in the home with my husband and two girls. I feel the space is better suited for a couple as the second bedroom is really the living room space.
I would definitely return but without our girls.
This place is truly beautiful! The unique design choices make it obvious that the owners put a lot of love into every inch of it. One thing you can't tell from the description if you aren't familiar with Ojai: the location is amazing. It's in the hills in a rural part of town, with views of the neighboring avocado orchard and the mountains. You can walk out the door and directly onto a beautiful hiking trail along a creek. It was romantic, peaceful, perfect. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Caitlin's home was absolutely magical. It's even more gorgeous in person than in the pictures. The windows in the house are brilliantly designed to let you look through walls, sometimes even multiple walls, and sometimes even the roof! On the second story there are even a few windows on the floor to look into the bottom story. Each room has its own personality, and it's on vibe. A lot of thought was went into creating this place, and my girlfriend and I appreciated it more than words can describe on our Valentine's Day.
Our host was not present but her father made us feel welcome, explained the house to us and brought over missing items such as dish towels.
The house was charming, small, light-filled, quirky, clean and tastefully furnished. Skylights and glass inserts in the floor enabled one to lie in bed and see the stars. The house faced an orchard and was right on the path to a lovely hiking trail. It was in a quiet, rural neighborhood, but not far from shopping in town. The garden was attractive for sitting outside.
The uniqueness, beauty, creativity, and embrace of this home cannot be denied. It really is one of a kind providing all one needs for a true relaxing getaway. From hiking out the front door, to providing all you need for making a scrumptious meal, to sipping tea looking out from all the windows in every direction.... there is no denying this home gives back and renews. It feels as if it has been created from a loving and free flowing energy that truly can.
I felt very welcome by the host. The location was perfect (close to town and hiking trail). House was extremely charming, well-kept and full of beautiful light. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Hello! I am a creative professional..illustrator, interior designer and brand consultant, living in Los Feliz, CA. I just co-founded my own business, a Design/Art House called Zoe Bios Creative. Our showroom is located in Silverlake CA, and we offer art and home furnishings. Although I love my LA neighborhood, it is great to keep my home in Ojai as a vacation rental so that I can escape to it from time to time to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, to hike, and to enjoy small town life..:). I love the idea of sharing my place and the experience of Ojai with others! It is truly a great place to both relax and/or work, and recharge. I have completely redesigned it to let in lots of light and veiws...I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do! Cheers! Caitlin

I had bought a v2 motor mount and found that it covers up the cooling holes on my hyperion motor and weighs 5 grams more than needed. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up, even though Eflite has fixed the motor mount problem there is still a very good reason to order the billet aluminum mount from www.smallpartscnc.com, it is much lighter than the stock v2 mount and allows more airflow for better cooling and performance.

I got my hobbywing esc's in from www.falconsekido.com fast shipping and the price is insane. I have seen these esc's abused by crazy cp pilots and I use them in other planes. I used to buy castle esc's, but I like these better!

I do have a few different spinners, I do that last after a C of G test. I try to use the biggest and lightest spinner I can get away with, if it's tail heavy I usually go with a heavier spinner though. I'm planning on 3s with this yak, I'm hoping the higher Kv motor will keep up the rpm's on a 3s so I can use a 12" or 13" prop. Hobbywing has a programming card that is super easy to use, my lhs will program them before you leave the shop if you don't have a card. These are cheap esc's but the quality is there, reliable too. Let us know how the eagle tree system works, sounds interesting!
Aug 21, 2012, 01:45 PM | |
The eagle tree worked pretty well, but still needs some tweeking and trimming for straight level flight, she wanted to nose down a bit in 2d mode but was good in 3d mode. I just didn't have the "level flight and trims" set quite right. It is a very similar system to the "AS3X" horizon hobby has brought out in its ultra micros except it can be used on any plane and is fully programmable. Here is a link:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1596644 The winds were calm this morning though so never got a real feel for how well it will stabilize fight however, plane tracked very good in 3d mode and I can see how this system will make any plane fly better and allow one to fly in wind conditions that would normally keep one grounded. I'm not trying to sell the product by any means, just thought I would share my thoughts on it. That said I did have a rough landing on my second battery. Completely my own fault just a little too slow on landing. Gear flexed enough to let the prop strike and bent my motor shaft, that sucks as I had three more batteries to burn through yet. I guess having a 14" prop didnt help matters, probably would have gotten away with it if I had a 13 on there. Have a spare shaft at home so will change it out tonight and continue my testing. Keep us posted about the esc's. |
Aug 22, 2012, 01:49 PM | |
Well, I banged my yak up, and bent the motor shaft. Messed up the motor trying to replace the shaft. I have a hacker a40-10s not being used, so I wondered if it would fit. Well it's slightly too big in diameter. I filed down the xmount spots in the cowl, and now it does. I ordered a yak x mount from www.smallpartscnc.com, which has slots for the motor mount, allowing bolt patterns of 19x19 all the way to 25x25(mm). The hacker motor only weighs 8 grams more than the stock motor(according to my scale). The power output should be about the same, but torque should be off the wall.
From what I've heard, a 14x7 is a great prop on this motor. I'm concerned this will end up with many prop strikes on the yak. Hoping something in the 13x4-13x8 works well. I'm more concerned with thrust than wattage. I have a wattmeter, so I can check that. But sometimes you can get better thrust with fewer overall watts. Can anyone tell me what I need to measure thrust?? |

I've been flying with a 14 inch prop for a while now, probably about 20 flights without a hitch. Yesterday had a bit of a harder landing and gear flexed enough to let prop strike, resulted in bent motor shaft. Wood prop didn't help much as there is little flex either. Last night changed the shaft out and I solved the problem by removing the gear, putting in a vice and with two pairs of pliers bent the gear in so that the plane would sit higher. As such had to bend the gear at the wheel a bit to get the wheels to sit better, they were angled in as a result narrowing up the gear. Looks like I need to bring the left side in just a hair more. Three landings today without a hitch, dont anticipate any future problems. As you can see in photos if you did a nice three point landing there is 4" of room, a level landing will yeild 3" of clearance. With narrower gear your plane will be more prone to wing tipping but I had no issues.

Nice mod there, Eater. I often fly from a gravel road and could use a bit more clearance.
Got mine back on the scales today and she weighs 57 ounces with a 165 gram motor, 8 ounce 3s 2600, no wheel pants or pilot. It's gained about 2 ounces from the original build. Not too bad for some epoxy, carbon fiber reinforcing and about a can or two of spray paint. |

Quick flight nothing special. I need to get a routine instead of just going up and flying. I always forget to try maneuvers like pop tops, weeble wobble etc.

Nice flying IEATSRT! The 3s yak build is going well, almost finished! Just need to install push rods, trim it out and dial in the surface deflections and she should be good to go. The AUW is around 56 ounces (removed pilot but kept pants and fairings) and the C of G looks perfect. The Hyperion 3020-8 looks like the perfect 3s lipo motor for the yak, it produces good power on 3s, it's about 35 grams lighter than the stock motor, it's a drop in fit, you could still use stock esc and shaft changes are much easier. I tested it with a 12X6 apc prop (I figured this was the most popular prop being used) and it pulled 736 watts @ 64 amps. This was with a hyperion 45c 2600mah 3s lipo. So far things are looking great, can't wait to fly it!

The Yak didn't pull out of a roll over the lake a couple weeks ago and entered the water at high speed, snapping the nose off and breaking it in three pieces. We have a rowboat at the club for rescues. Anyway, lots of white Gorilla glue later, it's back in one piece and I ran some numbers before taking it up tomorrow:
Hyperion 3025-8 Hitec HS-82MG (x4) Zippy 4S 2800mAh 30C Eflite 60A ESC (stock) AUW: 4.00lb (64oz) (c.f. stock 3.75 - 3.81lb, about 5% heavier) Prop ---- Amps -- Watts-- Thrust (lb) 12x6 ---- 62.3 ---- 860 ---- 5.8 12x8 ---- 70.1 ---- 944 ---- 5.3 13x4 ---- 55.4 ---- 780 ---- 6.3 13x6.5 -- 69.6 ---- 930 --- 6.9 All props are APC thin electrics. Static thrust measured with a fishing scale. The plane balances without any extra weight, battery at the rear of the compartment. The missing pilot seems to counterbalance the slightly heavier motor. |

The 26th of March and the Bioshock Infinite launch date is just a few weeks away and the excitement in the MWEB M-Cave is certainly building. From what we've seen this game really is going to be a title to stand out this year as one of the best and I'm sure you'll agree!
Have a quick look at this amazing 60" TV ad that has been launched to help build some of the hype. As a serious fan of the entire series, this is easily one of my personal most anticipated titles of 2013 and really didn't need this ad, but its awesome, and I will take it... :-)
If that was not enough to book your ticket on the hype train, then have a look at this next video. This video shows you assuming the role of protagonist Booker DeWitt as he sets out to unravel the mystery that lies behind the floating city of Columbia.

While I almost always carry a P226 SSE, there are occasionally times when the requirement is for something in the very small sub-compact. I don't want to carry less than a 9mm, and 380 is completely out of the question.
Rohrbaugh R9S stealth (i.e. black) looks like the answer. But other than people complaining about the price, I hear very little about them. Given the price of Sig's it doesn't seem that bad to me. Does anyone have any opinions on the Rohrbaughs, pictures?
I would love to take a look at one prior to ordering, but none of the local dealers who carry them have any in stock. Anyone in Northern Virginia area have a Rohrbaugh they would be willing to let me take a look at?

Last week I posted the above picture and asked if anyone could guess what it was that Stewart was putting under our new kitchen area. There were some great guesses and he was, indeed, pouring diatomaceous earth in the photo above, as one reader had guessed.
Also in the photo was a whole bunch of earth packed around a hole he had fitted.
He made a space just big enough for one of the ways in which we try to keep food without refrigeration…
A cooler! In the summer it's quite difficult to keep anything below 90 degrees most days, including produce and ferments. We've used ice – both purchased in town and made in small quantities over several days in our solar freezer – to keep the cooler… um… cool.
But we've been kicking around ideas for super-insulated coolers for things that just need a little bit of protection from the brutal temperatures here. These items would stay at 80 or below, preferably in the 50-70 degree range. Specifically, I'd like a place to keep vegetable ferments in the summer until we have a root cellar built.
So, when Stewart was getting ready to lay the floor in what will be our kitchen area, he asked if I wanted something I could access right in the kitchen by simply opening a small trap door. Um, yes, please! He packed earth around for extra insulation, sprinkled in a bunch of diatomaceous earth to keep away the bugs, and sunk it down in. Now that the floor is down we have a mysterious trap door that will house ferments and fresh vegetables.
I'm keen to see how it holds up in the heat… and also wondering if I could crawl in there myself on those 100 degree days. Probably not.
P.S. Thank you all for your comments and emails in regard to my previous post. I am grateful to be able to share this journey with you.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month
Pros:These lights are clones of the venerable Planet Bike Superflash, and that's a very good thing. They have a very bright, 1/2 watt led with supplemental, smaller leds that have an erratic and very visible flash pattern.
I don't know if there is a more visible rear light out there.
The mounting hardware isn't great, but it's more than sufficient. If you need anything more than a pocket clip, or a seatpost mount, you're on your own.
OtherThoughts:A wider range of mounting mechanisms would be cool, but for this fantastic price I won't complain.
Bottomline:Every bike should have at least one of these, and if you're serious about night time visibility, two or more. Supplement one of these with a few strips of reflective tape, and you should be visible in traffic.

Howe left purring at cherries display
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe described some of his side's football as "great stuff" after a thrilling 5-3 FA Cup win over Tranmere.Josh McQuoid struck a hat-trick for the Cherries, who cruised into a 3-0 lead in this first-round tie, with further goals from Marc Pugh and Liam Feeney, while Rovers fought back to briefly level the game through Aaron Cresswell, Ian Goodison and Ian Thomas-Moore.Howe said: "It was a game for the neutrals rather than the managers, for sure. It was a classic FA Cup game, it was very exciting, end-to-end football."In the first 10 minutes we were fantastic, we played some great stuff and I couldn't really ask for any more from the players."Josh (McQuoid) and Marc (Pugh) have scored a pair of fantastic goals and that set us on our way. But we then conceded avoidable goals and the game changed very quickly."To be at 3-3 after leading 3-0 is tough mentally and the players had to show some resilience, which thankfully they did. There are obviously things to work on defensively, but all in all we have to take the positives because we have won a good game of football 5-3."

While demonstrated associations between the human microbiome and health or disease were an overarching theme of the workshop, with most speakers at least touching on the topic, some speakers homed in on it. Josef Neu, professor of pediatrics in the Division of Neonatology at the University of Florida, provided an overview of recent microbiome-disease research in pediatric populations. First, he described evidence suggesting that a fetal microbiome exists; that is, babies are born with microbiomes acquired during the last trimester of pregnancy (DiGiulio et al., 2008; Goldenberg et al., 2000; Koenig et al., 2011). The existence of a fetal microbiome has clinical implications, with greater microbial diversity being associated with prematurity (DiGiulio et al., 2008; Mshvildadze et al., 2010). Then he summarized recent evidence of associations between microbiome composition and two diseases prevalent among babies in neonatal intensive care units (ICUs): necrotizing enterocolitis and late-onset sepsis (Alexander et al., 2011; Mai et al., 2011). Neu also explored in more detail a topic that Lita Proctor had mentioned, that is, microbiome differences between babies born vaginally and babies born via C-section (Dominguez-Bello et al., 2010). The differences are important not only because of the increasing prevalence of C-section deliveries in many countries, but also because of the wide range of immune-related diseases associated with C-section delivery (Neu and Rushing, 2011). Finally, he remarked on other recent evidence indicating associations between microbial ecology in children and the onset of type 1 diabetes (Brown et al., 2011; Vaarala et al., 2008). Together, these various avenues of research suggest that the early microbiome, from fetal development through childhood, can influence both short- and long-term health.
Researchers have made significant headway in understanding how the oral microbiome contributes to health and disease. Richard Darveau, professor and chair in the Department of Periodontics at the University of Washington Dental School, described evidence indicating that unlike many other human pathogens, the periopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis triggers disease not by inducing inflammation but by intervening with host immunity in a more subversive manner. In fact, inflammation is a normal part of a healthy oral environment, with neutrophil movement being a sign of healthy "immune surveillance" and cytokine production contributing to healthy tissue development and function (Roberts and Darveau, 2002). Eventually, over time, even a healthy mouth experiences bone loss. However, P. gingivalis accelerates the process. The bacteria interferes with innate immunity in a way that prevents the host from detecting and clearing not just P. gingivalis, but other oral microbes as well (Burns et al., 2010; Coats et al., 2005, 2007; Hajishengallis et al., 2008a,b, 2011; Liang et al.,

Throughout life, the genome within cells of the human body is exposed to mutagens and suffers mistakes in replication. These corrosive influences result in progressive, subtle divergence of the DNA sequence in each cell from that originally constituted in the fertilised egg.
Occasionally, one of these somatic mutations alters the function of a critical gene, providing a growth advantage to the cell in which it has occurred and resulting in the emergence of an expanded clone derived from this cell. Acquisition of additional mutations, and consequent waves of clonal expansion result in the evolution of the mutinous cells that invade surrounding tissues and metastasise.
The identification of genes that are mutated and hence drive oncogenesis has been a central aim of cancer research since the advent of recombinant DNA technology.
The Cancer Genome Project is using the human genome sequence and high-throughput mutation detection techniques to identify somatically acquired sequence variants/mutations and hence identify genes critical to the development of human cancers. This initiative will ultimately provide the paradigm for the detection of germline mutations in non-neoplastic human genetic diseases through genome-wide mutation detection approaches.
This is an ongoing project and we will be adding further data in the future. If you would like to be informed when new data is released please sign up here

Genetic characterization of Greek population isolates reveals strong genetic drift at missense and trait-associated variants.
Department of Human Genetics, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton CB10 1HH, UK.
Isolated populations are emerging as a powerful study design in the search for low-frequency and rare variant associations with complex phenotypes. Here we genotype 2,296 samples from two isolated Greek populations, the Pomak villages (HELIC-Pomak) in the North of Greece and the Mylopotamos villages (HELIC-MANOLIS) in Crete. We compare their genomic characteristics to the general Greek population and establish them as genetic isolates. In the MANOLIS cohort, we observe an enrichment of missense variants among the variants that have drifted up in frequency by more than fivefold. In the Pomak cohort, we find novel associations at variants on chr11p15.4 showing large allele frequency increases (from 0.2% in the general Greek population to 4.6% in the isolate) with haematological traits, for example, with mean corpuscular volume (rs7116019, P=2.3 × 10(-26)). We replicate this association in a second set of Pomak samples (combined P=2.0 × 10(-36)). We demonstrate significant power gains in detecting medical trait associations.

A rare functional cardioprotective APOC3 variant has risen in frequency in distinct population isolates.
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton CB10 1SA, UK.
Isolated populations can empower the identification of rare variation associated with complex traits through next generation association studies, but the generalizability of such findings remains unknown. Here we genotype 1,267 individuals from a Greek population isolate on the Illumina HumanExome Beadchip, in search of functional coding variants associated with lipids traits. We find genome-wide significant evidence for association between R19X, a functional variant in APOC3, with increased high-density lipoprotein and decreased triglycerides levels. Approximately 3.8% of individuals are heterozygous for this cardioprotective variant, which was previously thought to be private to the Amish founder population. R19X is rare (<0.05% frequency) in outbred European populations. The increased frequency of R19X enables discovery of this lipid traits signal at genome-wide significance in a small sample size. This work exemplifies the value of isolated populations in successfully detecting transferable rare variant associations of high medical relevance.

I feel that the Spirit Visage is useful, but I dont feel you need to overload on RoAs... To the OP how do you deal with Ignite, within this patch set Ignite is increasing populate you obviously can't be spamming your spells because they are not being refunded well. Do you have to just play around it?
I've been building him with Rylai's and Haunting Guise, but I'm starting to think just getting a Tome and then rushing Mejai's first is better. Vlad is such a scary ganker, plus he gets tons of assists in team fights and rarely dies, I think Mejai's would be more than worthwhile. Gonna test it out today. Edit: Also, I think some CDR is mandatory on him moreso than Zhonya's. He shouldn't be the one getting golem buff, and CDR helps his Q and E tremendously.
I don't know how I feel about haunting guise. Almost all cdr is attached to mana or attack speed, neither is which are useful to vlad. Frozen heart might be good, matching well with the pool. Still a lot of wasted mana though, but a lot of armor is nice. I'll be trying some extra tank tonight. Soul stealer for ap, then visage, boots, force of nature, rylai's, frozen heart.
Vlad is one of the few heroes that synergies well with two snowball items at the same time. Mejars and Leviathan.... Just concentrate on not dieing and getting assists and you will get powerful with just these two items...
anyone played around with spell vamp? seems like he would benefit well from it know what i mean? like if your spells pay for themselves with life coming back no more going low on hp spamming spells.
gun fu panda
My theoretical vlad build would be: Rylai's/Randuin's/Zhonya's/Abyssal/Merc Treads/Spirit VIsage (not in that order). Gets him mitigation to reduce his squishiness, as well as solid AP/HP to take advantage of his passive, as well as good CDR (about 36% with runes/masteries). I want to get him, just not enough IP and I can't justify dropping cash for the RP for him right now
I played him as a caster/Tank Role. specialized on Health Regen and CD with a touch of AP Started with Warmogs (yeah Warmogs expensive like hell ) but when Farmed provides you with lots of HP and regen next up boots and Soulstealer (boots depending on the Team) --> Force of Nature -->Randuims Omen -->Spirit visage Masterys 9/21/0 Runes Red--> Magic Pen the rest AP/lvl all in all you got a crazy amount of Health and AP you can hit the 27%CD mark easy here a Screenshot and a link to my idea http://leaguecraft.com/builder/Vladi...fbdd1a7af74a13
I have updated the guide on Leaguecraft with an FAQs section, addressing many of your suggestions.

For the international experience in January (part of the new curriculum), I went to South Africa and Tanzania with 35 of my classmates, Professor Jim Baron, and Dean Podolny. It was one of the most rewarding trips I have taken, and the fact that we escaped the arctic weather in New England was an added bonus. During our time in Johannesburg and Dar es Salaam, we met with CEOs, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and government officials. Many spoke about the challenges they face in building sustainable organizations.

Harrowing images "Naachni" brings to the fore the dancing girls' life of violence, privation and sexual exploitation, and society's hypocrisy.
A prominent Kolkata-based institution of theatrical art, Nandikar presented "Naachni" as part of Bharat Rang Mahotsav at the Kamani auditorium recently. The production brought alive the social landscape that condemns young girls to work as sex slaves, entertaining their clients with dance performances. Ironically, titled "Naachni" (the nautch girl), the production is replete with songs and dances depicting violence, guilt, poverty, grief and sexual exploitation, exposing a system controlled by degenerate men known as rasiks. It shocks, disturbs and pricks the conscience of the audience to observe that such a sordid practice still prevails in some parts of the country. The lives of these talented singer-dancers are stigmatised and they are treated as outcasts.
Adapted from Subrata Mukhopadhyay's novel by Parthapratim Deb who has also directed the play as well as composed its music, the play revolves round four characters — Dhrubakumar, Kusmi Bai, Bijulibala and Pandabkumar. Young Bijulibala is sold to a dacoit by her mother who was once a naachni. Her old age has deprived her of her livelihood and she now lives in abject poverty. However, Bijulibala is rescued by her married lover Pandabkumar. Despite his love for her, he makes her his naachni to earn money. Being a young and talented dancer and singer, she attracts clients.
Through the confrontations between old-timer rasik Dhrubakumar, his aging naachni Kusmi Bai, and Bijulibala, the dramatic conflict gets momentum. The old rogue that he is, Dhrubakumar makes every effort to make the young naachni his own commodity. Isolating her lover, Pandakumar, he attempts to rape her. Deeply hurt, the aging Kusmi Bai confronts Dhrubakumar, which culminates in a catastrophe.
The action is set in a vast social milieu. In one space we watch Bijulibala with her mother and on the opposite side the main action takes place, involving the family of Pandabkumar, Dhrubakumar, Kusmi Bai and the accompanists to the dancer-singer. The centre stage is mainly used to perform group dances, featuring a large number of performers. The set in drab colours tends to be in tune with the ambience in which degenerate human beings live. These are the people socially and economically marginalised. They nurse bitter memories of the past staring at a hopeless future. Their link with the outside world is through their lecherous clients. In such a society, girls are like a commodity to be sold and bought. Despite their miserable existence singing and dancing are part of their lives. These provide them brief moments of happiness. The production is embellished by several group dances and a powerful chorus to reflect community celebration even in the midst of decay and squalor.
Since the action is set in a remote rural area, the choreography and music score are drawn from tribal and folk forms of Bengal and Chhattisgarh. Elements of Chhau also form part of the group dances which are marked by variety and vigour. To give a larger dimension to the space, the director has used some space in the hall meant for the audience — juxtaposing the miserable existence of naachnis in the acting space with groups of young people raising slogans of "Inquilab! Zindabad!" in the auditorium. The director wants to give the idea that despite various movements taking place in the mainstream Indian society, the world of the naachnis remains unchanged. Some of the vital action takes place in the midst of the audience, especially the one in which Kusmi Bai displays her violent protest. The mass scenes where characters assemble to watch shocking events that have taken place is a device for collective manifestation of grief over a tragedy.
The climactic scene in the production is most shocking. Exploited all her life and finally betrayed by Dhrubakumar, Kusmi Bai commits suicide. Her body lies on the ground covered with a dirty piece of cloth. Custom does not allow a naachni respectable last rites. Condemned as the source of all evil, her body becomes untouchable. The whole community stands by at some distance from the body. There is silence. A man comes with a noose, throws it round Kusmi Bai's feet to drag her body that will be thrown to wild beasts and carrion birds. Bijulibala removes the noose, puts the body on a bamboo carrier, and takes it away.
The cast includes some of the most talented and experienced performers of the Bengali stage. A dynamic theatre personality and the force behind the growth of Nandikar, Rudraprasad Sengupta plays the role of Dhrubakumar, enhancing the value of the production. Swatilekha Sengupta, senior artist of the Bengali stage and Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee, as Kusmi Bai and Sohini Sengupta as Bijulibala invest their portraits with emotional depth, anguish and indignant protest, demonstrating their fine acting and singing talents. Debsankar Halder as Pandabkumar brings a lot of vitality to his portrayal.

Palm Beach County
Recent Palm Beach County Reviews
Perfect Location
Four of us had a wonderful stay at this cute 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in Delray Beach. Located just off A1A two blocks to the beach the location couldn't be better. Two of us are cyclists so we were right on the best cycling route in South Florida and went on daily rides right out the door anywhere from Fort Lauderdale to Palm Beach. The beach is beautiful and just two blocks from the house. After a day on the bikes we walked the few blocks to downtown Delray Beach well known for it's great restaurants. Even closer is the Trip Advisor #1 top rated restaurant in Delray, the Caffe Luna Rosa. Luna Rosa is on the beach less than a 5 minute walk from the condo and has some of the best Italian food I have ever had! We also found a fresh fish market nearby and grilled locally caught snapper and grouper on the gas grill. The kitchen is well outfitted and being a chef I baked bread as well. The beds are brand new Tempurpedic memory foam and amazingly comfortable. Joel the owner was very helpful and even got a kit to join the two twin beds together to make a second king bed for the other couple in our party. Everything was spotlessly clean and all in all It couldn't have been better! We will be back.
Perfect Vacation Home!!!
We stayed in this home for a full week after Christmas. Andrew contacted us the day before arrival to verify our estimated arrival time. He was waiting for us when we arrived at the house and gave us a full tour as well as shared some "must visit" areas in the city. The home is beautiful with plenty of space for family activities…movies, card playing, dinner, shooting pool, swimming, lounging under the tikki hut, etc… 2 bikes were available for a ride to a local coffee shop. A few beach toys were also available. Softball field and park within walking distance. Home is top notch and would recommend it to all! Beach is a very short drive (less than 10 minutes with traffic). Gumbo Limbo was a fun nature visit less than 10 minutes away on A1A. Must vista Mizner Park for movie, dinner, shopping, ice cream and people watching. Short trips to Fort Lauderdale and Miami (less than an hour) were also fun! Publix just down the road. This home was perfect for our family of 5 adults and one tween! Would recommend to all!
