"..The Rimfire is the better of the two, but it would be good to have something with a bit of spare power and a higher kV to give us a wider choice of props..."
The Rimfire motors only look better on paper, if you try to get the amount of power out of them that they say they are good for you'll watch them go up in smoke. There is a rule of thumb that average quality brushless motors running at their continuous rating will generate 3 Watts for each gram of motor weight. There are some better motors that will get up to 6W per gram or even higher (Hacker, Neu, and Scorpion come to mind first). If you look at the Rimfire .50 specs those put it at 5.2 Watts per gram for bursts Burst Watts: 6500 Weight: 44.1 oz (1250g) This tech note has more detailed specs and rates it at Max. Constant Current: 110A (at 12S) Max. Continuous Power: 5000W = 4 Watts per gram Max. Surge Current: 135A (at 12S) Max. Surge Power: 6500W = 5.2 Watts per gram Many of the smaller Rimfire motors had similar ratings and none of them were able to deliver at those levels without overheating. The Rimfires are a house branded and maybe slightly better than average quality motor. Or maybe just an average motor in a prettier wrapper and more cleverly merchandised than the average average motor. But no one is getting the advertised power out of them. The Scorpion HK-5035-500 motor is a 670 gram motor that has much better specs than the 1250 gram Rimfire 50. Max Continuous Current 120 Amps Max Continuous Power 5400 Watts = 8 Watts per gram Peak Current 160A (5 seconds) Peak Power 7100 Watts (5 seconds) 10.6 Watts per gram The fact that Scorpion is getting that much power from a motor that is a little more than half of the weight of the Rimfire testifies to the difference in quality in the two motors you mention. Scorpion doesn't have a motor that is a little larger than the 50 Series, you would have to move up to the 70 Series to get more power as far as I can tell. But the HK-7050-340Kv motor looks like it will meet all of your needs while running at a very relaxed pace: http://www.scorpionsystem.com/catalo...0/HK_7050_340/ Max Continuous Current 200 Amps Max Continuous Power 10000 Watts = 5.9 Watts per gram Weight 1700 Grams (51.85 oz) Peak Current 300A (5 seconds) Peak Power 15000 Watts (5 seconds) = 8.8 Watts per gram Not sure about the structure you'll want to mount your wind tunnel prop or props in but using a toothed belt drive would let you vary the effective Kv of the output shaft pretty easily. And it might be better from the viewpoint of removing some mass from the area in the center of the prop if that is of benefit. Good luck with it, we'd all love to have a wind tunnel like that! Jack |

Sorry to dredge up this thread again! This part of the project has been on the back burner for a while, but I'm now working on it again and designing around the HK-7050 as it seems like the motor for the job. However, the configuration of the aircraft means that there's not a lot of space to accommodate this beast. The motor itself will just about fit, but the fact that the mounting holes are shaft-side means that it can't be attached straight to the firewall, needing a 'cage' type motor mount- it's this that I'm having trouble accommodating. Things would be a lot easier if the shaft could be reversed, but that's not possible.
Another option I'm considering is re-winding a back-mountable low kV motor in the 6-7kW range (one of these for example) to bring the kV from ~160 to ~300. It would be so much simpler to mount and cheaper too. I've never re-wound a motor before so it would be a bit daunting starting on something this big, but there's plenty of help and information here and elsewhere so it seems doable. Is this an option worth pursuing? |

For your application I imagine around that Scorpion HK7050 Kv 317rpm/V APC 18x10 E 10S LiPo ~37V Power 6300W Current 172A Air Speed 160 km/h (44 m/s) If you want a cheaper motor (to rewind) you have first to dismount it, clear the copper wires, rewind ... re-glue the magnets = a lot of work Of course it is possible with some expertise. Result = less efficiency (than with the Scorpion), probably Risk of damaging the ball-bearings, if there is a third thin BB Candidate : TGY Rotomax 100cc Louis |
Mar 29, 2012, 08:12 PM | |
I saw your question earlier and just didn't have any experience with that motor or feel I could answer the question.
But, if you weren't aware of it, getting an answer from Fourdan is an answer from as good a source as you could hope for. The Turnigy Rotomax 100 he recommends is a little heavier and a little more expensive than the one you asked about: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=19964 A google search for "rcgroups rotomax" will surface a few posts here with some interesting discussion on the motor but there have not really been any first hand reports from users yet as far as I can tell. No one appears to have stripped one for rewinding yet either so you'll be on new ground there too. One of the posts at that link discusses the differences in the weights between the big Turnigy motors and the more expensive (and more powerful too) Plettenberg and Hacker big motors was kind of interesting. Weight is not a concern for your intended use I guess. The "third thin BB" that Louis mentions is a bearing located at the bottom of the rotating magnet housing. That is something that has been added to bigger motors because the magnet housings needed more stabilization to keep them from wobbling or deforming in use. If you decide to rewind one like the Rotomax you'll have an opportunity to make a major contribution to the pool of knowledge here with any photos and other info you come up with. We haven't seen much of anything on rewinding the biggest motors yet. If you did not know that, the Kv and turn count are linear and the Kv increases as the number of turns decreases. So you may be able to get away with simply removing turns until the Kv is right. To compute the change in turns the math is: winds_new = winds_old * Kv_old / Kv_new Of course, you won't know the original turn count until you get the motor stripped. Some motor sellers will share all the details like the turns wound but Turnigy and HK are not among the ones that do that. If you remove turns you'll be removing some copper mass. And if you become fully addicted to motor rewinding that empty space will nag on you. So you'll probably eventually want to rewind with larger wire to restore the copper mass to the maximum possible amount. Good luck with it! Jack |
Mar 30, 2012, 12:00 PM | |
Thanks for the replies!
It sounds like re-winding is a viable option... perhaps not ideal, but weight and efficiency are indeed secondary concerns for this application. I imagine the bearings could be damaged by running the motor at twice its intended rpm, but durability isn't a huge concern as it will probably only be needed for a total of a few hours (though I'll do my best to get my hands on it once it's served it's purpose ). Being statically mounted, I'd imagine it will have an easier life than flying motors due to the absence of gyroscopic forces. Since re-winding using the original wire will significantly reduce the copper mass, am I right in thinking this will reduce the power I can put through it? It would be great if the motor was wired in star configuration as I could get the kV I'm after simply by changing it to delta, but I gather most motors are delta wound already... |

the origins of the universe and the nature of the solar system owing in part to the remarkable clarity and stability of the atmosphere above the high Antarctic plateau. In the coming decades, Antarctica and the Southern Ocean will continue to be a place where new discoveries are made.
The types of research questions that are studied in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are often broad and multifaceted, which necessitate collaborations among scientists from differing disciplines, backgrounds, and nations. In addition, because of the harsh environmental conditions and remoteness of the region (see Box 1.1), conducting science in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean presents special logistical challenges. Overcoming these challenges has led nations to collaborate with one another in their support of science in this region. Technological innovations have always aided in the support of science in the Antarctic environment, and it will be important to continue to take advantage of new technologies as they emerge in the future. Last, it takes specific training on how to do scientific research in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, and the education of the next generation of Antarctic scientists will continue to be a critical issue. Choices that are made about these issues—collaborations, technology, and education—will have a large influence on the capacity to conduct scientific research in this part of the world in the future. If opportunities are exploited wisely, they have the ability to extend the reach and the quality of the scientific work conducted in this region.
In the United States, the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) within the National Science Foundation (NSF) holds the primary responsibility for supporting science in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. USAP is also at a unique time in its history. The last review of this program was 15 years ago (Augustine et al., 1997; Executive Office of the President, 1996). A major outcome from that review process was the reconstruction of the South Pole Station, which has solidified the U.S. presence on the continent. That reconstruction of the South Pole Station, which required a major investment of resources, has recently been completed. Now is the time to examine the program and look forward to the future directions for science in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
At the request of the NSF Office of Polar Programs, in coordination with the Office of Science Technology Policy and the Office of Management and Budget and under the auspices of the National Research Council, the Committee on Future Science Opportunities in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean was asked to identify the important scien-

As hard as it was to accept at the time, quarterback Russell Wilson understood there were better days ahead -- and soon -- in the painful aftermath of the University of Wisconsin football team's 45-38 loss to Oregon in the 2012 Rose Bowl.
The game ended when Wilson was unable to spike the ball in time, with 2 seconds remaining, to attempt a final shot at the end zone from the Ducks' 25-yard line.
Wilson attended the postgame news conference with tailback Montee Ball, who was then a junior with the Badgers.
"I'm just so blessed to have been with these guys, with Montee and the rest of the team," Wilson said at the conclusion of his only season with the Badgers after transferring from North Carolina State.
"Every single day I've cherished, and every single moment is truly special. To lose the way we did is only going to make me stronger in the future and help me figure out something else down the road. Maybe win the Super Bowl. You never know."
Two years later, Wilson is getting that chance as the second-year starting quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, who defeated the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.
And on the other sideline in Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., will be none other than his old pal, Ball, a rookie running back whose Denver Broncos knocked off the New England Patriots 26-16 in the AFC title game.
But that's just the start of the Badgers' connections in the big game.
That's the largest contingent of former Badgers in a Super Bowl, breaking the previous record of three in 2001, when running back Ron Dayne, center Derek Engler and linebacker Pete Monty were members of the New York Giants.
This will be the seventh time UW has been represented on both Super Bowl teams. The last time it happened was in 2009, when quarterback Jim Sorgi suited up for Indianapolis against linebacker Jonathan Casillas of New Orleans.
It also will push the number of former Badgers on Super Bowl rosters to 26. UW leads all Big Ten teams and ranks second nationally behind Tennessee for most players on active rosters in the Super Bowl.
In addition, Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell played quarterback at UW, leading the Badgers to the 1993 Big Ten Conference title and UW's first Rose Bowl victory. He set 19 team records and left as the school's all-time passing yards leader (7,686).
Wilson and Ball formed a potent offensive combination in 2011. Wilson set an NCAA record for highest passer efficiency rating at 191.78, while also setting a single-season school record for passing yards with 3,175.
Ball tied Barry Sanders' NCAA single-season record with 39 touchdowns, led the nation in rushing yards with 1,923 and was a Heisman Trophy finalist.
None of that really mattered following the loss to Oregon, but at least Wilson or Ball will now get the chance at an even bigger prize than a Rose Bowl title, with one of them hoisting the Lombardi Trophy as a Super Bowl champion.
"It's unfortunate the way we lost and the best thing about these guys ... is the way they fought," Wilson said after the Rose Bowl setback. "I'm glad to be a part of this Badger family."

While i'm glad to have those other series and enjoy them, I find it a little dissapointing how badly Voyager seems to be treated, there was a massive gap between Spirit Walk to the second relaunch series, which featured four novels then also ended.
As others have said, the current VGR novel line by Kirsten Beyer has not ended, and it's been quite popular.
The gap happened for a variety of reasons. Christie Golden moved on from doing Trek, and there was some reshuffling editorially. Marco Palmieri, then the senior editor of Trek/tie-in novels at Pocket, took over as editor of VGR and began developing a new direction for the series with Kirsten Beyer, and they needed some time to work out where to go with it. Then the
trilogy event was developed and it was decided that the VGR novels would have to take it into account and coordinate with it, leading to a further postponement.
But the VGR novels have been going strong ever since, as much as any of the other 24th-century books in the past few yeras.

Large, abrupt climate changes have repeatedly affected much or all of the earth, locally reaching as much as 10°C change in 10 years. Available evidence suggests that abrupt climate changes are not only possible but likely in the future, potentially with large impacts on ecosystems and societies.
This report is an attempt to describe what is known about abrupt climate changes and their impacts, based on paleoclimate proxies, historical observations, and modeling. The report does not focus on large, abrupt causes—nuclear wars or giant meteorite impacts—but rather on the surprising new findings that abrupt climate change can occur when gradual causes push the earth system across a threshold. Just as the slowly increasing pressure of a finger eventually flips a switch and turns on a light, the slow effects of drifting continents or wobbling orbits or changing atmospheric composition may "switch" the climate to a new state. And, just as a moving hand is more likely than a stationary one to encounter and flip a switch, faster earth-system changes—whether natural or human-caused—are likely to increase the probability of encountering a threshold that triggers a still faster climate shift.
We do not yet understand abrupt climate changes well enough to predict them. The models used to project future climate changes and their impacts are not especially good at simulating the size, speed, and extent of

For some reason many developed country are less attention in providing comfortable zone among their urban site. A very hectic traffic plus a minimum range of green environment surround can make you stressed on the way to the office and not so relaxing when you're coming home. Allow me to give some examples; There's a funny thoughts about driving in Jakarta ( A city I live now) it was said : "When you can drive along the street at Jakarta, You can drive easily anywhere in this world". Or there's another thought ;"You can find of world most dangerous street at India". For me, those two expression symbolized a less attention in public traffic area, its not only about the people who pass the way around the city but also a possessor teritory role and automotive industries growth inside the country. How could people come with their maximum performances in such situation if they should always watch their back when crossing the street, could you imagine when you're supposed to walk at pedestrian path but suddenly a motorcycle horned you to move away and letting them come first. There's another sample of my countries condition that are lot of curb's not treat well at side area of city, sometimes you should jump to avoid the hole been made for infrastructure project (the project is finished but they didn't fix the hole for a long time-or just being forgotten), people could harm anyway.

It was a nice trip.
it gives an introduction to the sights that are by the river in multi-languages commentary. wish it could last for a longer time.
Terry T
A pleasnat way to end the day. Another perspective of a wonderful city.
very relaxing.
Boat trip was great and saw lots of Prague but afternoon tea was not what I would call afternoon tea, very disappointing, a pastry and soft drink!?!
Very interesting trip - well informed tour guide and well worth it. Dissapointed that 20% discount available when you were there and really would have been cheaper to have waited to book till we got there.
Robert M
A peaceful hour on the river with an interesting and informative guide(Vera). After the cruise a pleasant walk through the Jewish quarter.
Marie W
Was lucky as the weather was beautiful. Our guide was wonderful. I was travelling alone and he made sure to make me feel included with the group. It was lovely and relaxing after all the walking and lovely to see the beautiful Charles Bridge and various buildings from a different angle.

A very relaxing boat ride complete with tea and cake! The sightseeing from the river is fantastic too.

We really enjoyed this trip. We did it on our second day so it gave us a real feel of our whereabouts in Prague. The short walk also was interesting. But more information about where to start the trip was needed. We had to ask around a little.
Kristin G
This was a great way to begin our trip to Prague! The kiosk was easy to find near our hotel, so it made it very convenient having two small children. It was a VERY hot day, and although the price did not include drinks for the children, they were so kind to provide them free of charge. The boat was very spacious and had an inside/outside area you could enjoy. The river allowed you to see the city at a different angle. The Charles Bridge was phenomenal! I would definitely recommend this as a way to get familiar with Prague.
There is not much to this cruise as the river has controls, ie locks and weirs in place. However, it is a pleasant way to spend an hour seeing the sights from a different perspective.

For the third time in eight years, a dead baby was found in or near Goodhue County waters.
The body of an infant was discovered Monday afternoon in the Mississippi River marina at Treasure Island Resort & Casino.
Sadly, the people of Goodhue County have seen this before.
The discovery of the as-yet-unidentified child marks the third time in eight years that a baby's body has been found in or near water in Goodhue County, said Chief Sheriff's Deputy Scott McNurlin.
Authorities hope an autopsy pending in Hastings will tell them more about how the child died and how long he or she was in the water.
Officials are considering forming a task force to look into the unsolved deaths of the three babies.
For community members downriver, particularly those who turned out for the 2003 funeral of a baby boy found on the Lake Pepin shore southeast of Red Wing, the reaction is sure to be, "Oh no, not again," said Debby Bradley, an organizer of the funeral.
That baby boy, and a baby girl who was found in 1999 in the river in Red Wing, were buried without knowing who their parents were or why they were abandoned, McNurlin said. That is prompting the Sheriff's Office, he added, to consider forming a task force to review all three cases.
In addition, he said, authorities are looking into using DNA analysis to uncover any links between the babies and to provide leads in the current case, possibly by comparing the new infant's DNA with that of people identified through a tips line.
"[The three cases] are all -- at this time -- open homicides," McNurlin said.
The current case, too? he was asked. "Yes, all three," McNurlin replied. "They are suspicious deaths, to say the least."
Midday at the marina
About 12:44 p.m. Monday, Prairie Island tribal police notified the county, which has jurisdiction in matters involving the river, that a worker who was cleaning debris in the marina had discovered the body near slip 36 on Dock C of the marina at the tribe's casino.
The sheriff's water patrol helped recover the body.
McNurlin was not at the scene, he said, but he believed the infant to be very young, perhaps abandoned shortly after birth. He didn't know the baby's sex or ethnicity, he added.
According to a 1999 Star Tribune story, the baby girl found then had her umbilical cord still attached and was believed to have been in the water a week or two.
The boy found in 2003 had part of his umbilical cord attached, a Star Tribune story said. Authorities tried to determine at the time whether the boy was placed next to a brush pile, where he was found, or had washed ashore.
A casino spokeswoman referred calls about the baby found Monday to the Sheriff's Office.
In the two previous cases, McNurlin said, the Sheriff's Office received "literally hundreds of leads," but they went nowhere. At the time, he added, the Sheriff's Office was curious as to whether the cases were actually as uncommon as they seemed. They were assured by the FBI that to have such events occur in such a short time was "an anomaly," he said.

Age and unionization rates, 2002
February 28, 2003
Workers ages 45 to 54 were more likely to be unionized than their older or younger counterparts in 2002.
Among wage and salary workers in the 45-to-54 age group, 18.5 percent were union members in 2002. This compares with 5.1 percent of those ages 16 to 24 and 7.9 percent of those 65 years and over. For the remaining age groups shown in the chart, unionization rates ranged from 11.2 to 17.4 percent.
The rate of unionization among all workers was 13.2 percent last year.
These 2002 data on union membership are from the Current Population Survey. Unionization data are for wage and salary workers. Find out more in "Union Members in 2002," news release USDL 03-88.

Rewilding 3, 2013
Meta 2, 2012
Washington DC—HEMPHILL opens Julie Wolfe: Rewilding on Saturday, March 23, 2013, with a public reception from 6:00–8:00pm. The exhibition will remain on view through May 18, 2013.
"Most people are on the world, not in it—have no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them—undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate." –John Muir, John of the Mountains, 1890
We look at art through the habits of our cultural background. Most western art until the 20th century has been figurative or has presupposed the existence of an autonomous individual viewer. From democracy to capitalism, our sociopolitical systems promote the individual as the imperative. This respect for the individual has been tremendously important in the advancement of civilization, yet it has limited our feelings for the mutuality and interdependence of all life forms on the planet. As the environmental impact of industrialization becomes more apparent, artists have begun to explore art making within a broader balance of natural forces, creating work less predisposed to an anthropocentric viewpoint. Recent publications like BIO Design (The Museum of Modern Art, NY, 2012) point to an intersection of biology and aesthetics and a more ecologically concerned form of creativity. Julie Wolfe can be counted among those artists, architects, designers and scientists participating in this exploration.
Wolfe's previous exhibition focused on observations and expressions of the life cycle—birth, growth, decay, and death. Her current work demonstrates a significant shift in focus. Some pieces in Rewilding address human intrusions into the environment, while other works dissolve the individual viewpoint for a more wide-open perception of nature. Although she has not abandoned traditional painting, parts of the show desert painting for a more direct involvement in natural materials. Wolfe has reached a point where her work is less about personal observations and expressions and more driven by a desire to be immersed in a biological presence. As she moves away from an anthropocentric viewpoint, her aim is to engage us in the fluid interdependence of life. One might be tempted to describe Rewilding as a transitional show. Considering the artist's ambition, the exhibition—like nature—is necessarily defined by transitions and interactions.
Julie Wolfe received a BFA in Painting and Art History from The University of Texas, Austin, TX. She has exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Textile Museum, among others, and currently resides in Washington DC. Wolfe's second exhibition at HEMPHILL includes paintings, mixed media works on paper and mercury glass, and site-specific installations.

Can anyone verify that the plastic camlocks at proflowdynamics.com are interchangeable with the stainless ones at bargainfittings? BF is out of the dust caps and I want to protect the couple hoses I have with stainless male ends on them. Thanks!!
i have a mix of proflow, bargainfittings and brewershardware camlocks so, yes they are compatible. they are all proflow products.
and plastic is interchangeable with stainless?
Are you using 1/2" NPT fittings? I don't think the polypropylene is interchangeable with the stainless at the 1/2" size. I believe the 1/2" sized poly fittings actually have mating surfaces equal to 3/4" sized fittings. As you can see here, there are no poly caps or plugs listed in the 1/2" size. I called them with this issue a few months ago because I had hoped to use 1/2" stainless fittings with poly dust caps and plugs to save $$. BTW, stainless and aluminum parts ARE compatible at the 1/2" size and the aluminum is fairly inexpensive.

The insanity that launched the campaign of Barak Obama in 2008 has gone literally off the chart. Many of us here at CHB were concerned over the possibility of racism running the show did not keep us questioning how long it would take to break loose. The primary debates left no question of the lack of sanity presented and it got worse with every debate.
I have been concerned over the use of drones to kill innocent people that left the use of the word Murderer in everyone's mind. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld opened up the lack of morals in every level of government. Our government fell into a level of evil so profound that it shook many of us to the core. This last election even introduced our very own individual drone in human form that erased any sense of decency.
I was raised in the training camp of the LDS with every question asked of my answer. I refused to be baptized and never again entered the church of my mother's family. America had erased individual thoughts and actions and there was no reason for me to vote or even support a candidate. There was no reason for my staying around CHB.
I'm an old lady and resent crying myself to sleep after a full day of reading. I want nothing to do with redistributing the wealth of the people.
Where have the good writers gone? Where have the honest opinions gone? The Republicans are convinced that Romney won his election. He believed that he won and even his sons are waiting around for their instructions. Obama is invisible. I don't care any more.

She watched him from the dark corner of the room. Saw him toss back another shot, the seventh or eighth one that night. She wondered what had driven him here, what demons had taken hold of him and sent him to this dark, dingy little backstreet bar. The coastal town wasn't known for being the best of places, it was the end of the interstate. Everything and everyone got dumped into this little town sooner or later. Including her. She lived for it though, this was her home, she knew the streets like the back of her hand, knew everyone in them. He was new though. Something she hadn't expected. She couldn't place it but a feeling of empathy and compassion surged through her when she saw him. She wondered what he was hiding, what he was scared of, what had broken his heart; for she could see it, glistening in his eyes, heard it in his speech, saw it in his movements. He was alone. She slowly approached the bar and slid onto the stool next to him. He looked at her quizzically.
Hey. What are you doing here, beautiful?
Getting a drink
He chuckled Obviously. I mean what brings you to a place like this. Girl like you shouldn't be in such a seedy place.
I live here
You live here? Here? At the bar?
She giggled No. Here. This town. Its mine. I know everyone and everything that goes on in this little town.
Ah. So you know why I'm here then, eh?
No. But I can guess.
Why don't you take a shot at it, love?
What if I don't want to?
What if I want you to?
What if I want you to tell me?
He smiled wryly. Thought you were gonna say that.
So? I've got all night...
He sighed. Where to begin?
At the beginning.
What do you know about being alone? What do you know about having your whole world cave under and no one being there to help you get out of the darkness? I know so many people, but...even still...I'm my only friend.
She laid a hand over his. He reached for another shot glass. She took it away from him.
What? He asked accusingly.
This won't help anything.
Helps calm me down.
Let me help.
How can you? What can you do to pull me out of hell? You know, I already have a gun...all I need is the money for a bullet. What's there's to stop me?
I don't know. But I can do something. I can listen.
Is there anyone that ever listens? Anyone that ever cares? What's one more broken heart in a sea of so many?
I'll care. If you'll let me.
He smiled and reached out to cup her cheek You're the first person to ever tell me that.
I know what its like to be there, where depression is the only ghost that haunts you. Where broken hearts are as common as promises. From one broken person to another....let me tell you...there's hope. You just have to know where to look
Maybe sometimes you don't have to look. Maybe sometimes it comes up and sits down beside you, the only bright spot in the blackness, like an angel suddenly appearing to pull you from hell. Do you still want me to tell you?
You have to ask that? I offered to listen. I'm not going to offer if I didn't want you to.
Fine then. I guess it started about eleven years ago...I was nine....

A judge has ruled in favor of the town of Shallotte and dismissed a lawsuit filed by two Shallotte Point residents who protested a rezoning that would allow condominium development near their home.
Husband and wife Chris Musi and Pam Sabalos, who live on Riverbend Drive, filed suit last year against the town of Shallotte, claiming the town's rezoning of land on the street for the proposed Holden's Landing condominium project was "arbitrary" and amounted to illegal "spot zoning."
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has dismissed a complaint by a Cardinal Pointe resident who claimed she received unfair treatment from managers of the Shallotte apartment complex.
The complainant, Amy Bass, said this week she plans to file for reconsideration and is also consulting with state disability rights officials about other options.
SHALLOTTE—Firefighters stood at attention in the truck bay of the new fire station Thursday, receiving commendations from their chief and town staff.
It was the first-ever achievement ceremony for the Shallotte firefighters and Fire Corps members, but it won't be the last, officials say.
Fire chief Paul Dunwell, Mayor Pro Tem Buddy Kelly and town administrator Paul Sabiston honored all the firefighters—full- and part-time, volunteers and paid staff—with achievement certificates.
SHALLOTTE—Aldermen have approved allowing the town administrator to amend the 2007-2008 budget up to $5,000 to balance the outgoing spending plan as necessary.
The board met Tuesday evening for its pre-agenda meeting, during which they also approved final tax releases for fiscal year 2007-2008.
In other business, the board heard from town administrator Paul Sabiston about possible traffic options for the new Food Lion planned for South Willis Drive and Sellers Street.
Sunset Beach's island boat ramp has closed.
The privately owned boat access on the island causeway was to remain open through summer, but was closed last week to make way for construction of the new $32 million, 65-foot-tall Intracoastal Waterway bridge. It should be complete by the end of 2010.
Boaters may use the boat ramp at Ocean Isle Beach as an alternative.
The town of Sunset Beach has been negotiating the possible purchase of property for a boat ramp on the mainland side of town near the current pontoon bridge.
Sunset Beach Town Council will have its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, June 30, to vote on the town's proposed budget, which takes effect July 1.
No new tax increase is being projected for the 2008-2009 fiscal year budget.
The tax rate for the proposed $5,785,436 budget is 9.5 cents per $100 of valuation, compared to the current 11.5 cents.
The new, lesser rate is expected to cover all of the town's projected operating anad maintenance expenses and capital expenditures while returning $200,000 to the fund balance.
The little girl stood on her tiptoes staring at the empty, hollow, cutout eyes of a white KKK hood.
Around it, surrounded in a glass case at the Newseum, placards, documents and photographs detailed the story—in the words and images of journalists—of the Civil Rights Movement in America.
"Mama," the little girl asked, turning her head away from the display, "do they still kill people just because they're black?"
Her mother looked down and back up at the historical items on display.
The N.C. Department of Transportation has some money tucked away in its coffers, although we don't seem to see it in action much around here.
Two of the newest road improvements are the new superstreet designs at the busy intersections of U.S. 17 and Mount Pisgah and Ocean Isle Beach roads. If you can't remember where you've heard the term superstreet before—think the year-old intersections on U.S. 17 in Leland.
Apparently no one, not even DOT, could argue these busy intersections didn't need major improvements.
The smell was burning my nostrils as I waited for the pump to cut off. I watched as the meter passed $30, then $40, and finally $50. At $52 it stopped.
My receipt printed, and I could be on my way—for another four days at least. Then I would be back to the dreaded pump, watching my as my money rushed out of my bank account and into my gas tank.
Perhaps it would be wise to do research before naming the new middle school in the Cedar Grove community. Once a school is named, it is open to scrutiny as to why the name was chosen. Surrounding counties are research-savvy when it comes to Brunswick County, and some of their recent findings have not been positive.
Schools in Brunswick County have received stinging press reviews, which include poor test scores and several inappropriate teacher/student relationship allegations.

The Army psychiatrist accused of gunning down 13 people at Fort Hood is to make his first military courtroom appearance Tuesday as his attorney seeks to delay the case.
But Maj. Nidal Hasan isn't expected to speak during the hearing.
Military prosecutors and defense attorneys instead plan to discuss case preparations. Defense attorney John Galligan says he'll seek to delay Hasan's hearing, which will determine whether there's enough evidence for the case should go to trial.
Authorities have said it could be held as early as July 1. Galligan says the hearing shouldn't go on before Oct. 1 because he still needs key case documents.

All the faces of Ultron: The design evolution of the Avengers' archenemy
Outstanding illustration of the new Ultron on the cover of Empire this week. I remember how fascinated I was the first time I saw Ultron in Avengers. It was issue #162, published in 1977—I saw it much later because it arrived to Spain in the 80s. Here's how artists changed Ultron's appearance through the years:

Modern Boarding Schools
I submit that boarding schools today provide that same advantage as it pertains to safety, strong adult figures, and an ethos built upon timeless values. Though much has changed since the founding of such schools, one must agree that boarding schools have maintained a singular and ruggedly independent niche in the nation's educational sphere. But enough about history. What about these schools as they might serve the needs of your loved ones?
It goes without saying that your child's education is central to your search for the school which will best serve his or her needs. I ask you to always keep before you the fact that education should be one in the broadest sense. The mission of a boarding school emanates outward from the classroom. Challenging course work, intellectual rigor, critical thinking, and clarity in both the spoken and written word are all critical elements. Central to these objectives are dedicated teachers; teachers who know their students and know them well; teachers who are excited by and masters of their academic subject! You will find that these schools will have superb facilities, small class sizes, advanced levels of study and opportunities for individualized instruction. You should expect thorough preparation scholastically for your child … but you should expect much more.
Because of their very composition and purpose, boarding schools are places where the world comes to learn. Within the roughly 300 members of The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) one will find student bodies of a truly global composition. Education in America, it seems, is one of our most sought after commodities, at least in the private preparatory, college/university and graduate school levels. In a world becoming more interdependent, the advantage of building friendship, trust and respect for others, seems more important than ever. There can be no doubt as to the increasing need for respect and understanding among the peoples and the nations of the world. By learning, living and striving together during years of vast importance developmentally, young people establish bonds that remain with them for a lifetime.
Though students enter boarding schools to focus upon academic development, they quickly learn that the quality of life at their school is impacted by the residential experience equally, if not far more graphically. The enterprise of living together brings to the fore personal preferences, varied habits, cultural differences and frankly, one's ability to work toward agreement on conflicts that, at first, seem unsolvable. In a fascinating way, one discovers that the twin virtues of compassion and a developing sense of justice evolve from the residential experience, as they never could in another setting.
The emphasis on the development of the personal qualities of each student is at a premium. Integrity, self discipline, generosity, patience, and perseverance are qualities that surface and remain with many students in boarding schools. The atmosphere on campus directly reflects the responsibility given to the young men and women who make up the citizenry of these scholarly communities. Respect for others and respect for themselves is generated by overcoming the challenges faced; and doing so as a result of determination, continued effort, and group cooperation.
You will find great differences in America's boarding schools. Some might best be described as "traditional" with such trappings as dress codes, formal dinners, Saturday morning classes, mandatory athletics, structured study hours, etc. Others will be of a different ilk entirely and will have clear strengths echoed in their mission and their program of study. One needs only to consider those schools in this very publication to understand the variety of possibilities.
A common thread, however, seen in the descriptions offered by these various institutions centers upon the development of both intellect and character. I would be so bold as to say that if these young people are to eventually make their mark on this world that intellect must be guided inextricably by character. Further, leadership, in all forms of human enterprise, stands upon those dual foundations of quality of mind and character. In the mind of this writer, it is "character" and character building that has been so much a part of boarding schools…lessons of character that augment the intellectual development, more singularly pursued. Our forebears understood, full well, that the demands imposed upon those in positions of leadership are made not so much upon the intellect as they are challenges to character. Decades ago, an Oxford philosopher spoke of character thusly:
"Character is in essence, resolution, determination, a matter of pursuing purposes without being distracted by passing impulses. It is something that is measured in terms of strength. Its strength, indeed, is its existence, for the weaker it is, the closer it comes to non-existence……… its qualities (prudence, justice, courage, and moderation) are all dispositions to resist the immediate solicitations of impulse."
Understand that I am not placing before you the notion that those who study at American boarding institutions are "schooled" in character, or, for that matter, leadership, in ways which can be measured. What I am clearly stating is that the atmosphere at these schools provides for opportunities in which character and leadership may develop through the examples set by faculty masters and the challenges experienced in an intimate and purposeful residential setting.
It can be clearly stated that meaning is given to many of the young lives of burgeoning students by way of a formal curriculum. Here certain values are introduced by way of history's events and figures, literature's exposure to the human dilemma, the many levels of science, and the integration of linguistic and cultural concerns in foreign languages. But, more importantly, it is the actions of the adults in the community that express life's values --- how do they respond to good or bad conduct? What is expected of both faculty and students? How do school rules and regulations reflect the sense of community? How are compassion and caring incorporated in the rules? What are the moral parameters under which the community lives each day? What is the ethical climate in which learning and growing takes place?
Therefore, I urge you to consider the history, the formal curriculum, and the less visible, but equally important, "second curriculum" when you consider schools for your son or daughter.

I just make a gzipped tarball and burn that to cd for backups. For tracking installation of packages I use make_uninstall, just search freshmeat for make_uninstall. This cool little app uses installwatch to track what is installed and creates a nice log file for you. It has a dialog based interface and can create rpm, deb and tgz packages based on what you install. Come time to upgrade and it will remove differences beteween the old and new version of packages or you can unistall the old first and then install the newer package. One other thing to note is you don't _need_ to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of everything out there. Otherwise you will be always maintaining your PC over using it.
