Gently rolling tree-covered hills interspersed with flat, wide vistas of cattle pasture characterize the landscape of rural Southwest Arkansas. This is a region where trucking, cattle and poultry are the major economic staples. I have visited this area on two occasions as many of my wife's relatives live in this part of the state. The rural nature of these parts is quite evident when traveling along Interstate 30, as there is very little development between the outskirts of Little Rock and the Texas border city of Texarkana. Several towns sit just off the highway, but the two that I have visited are Prescott and Hope.
Prescott and Hope are the seats of two neighboring counties. Prescott has a small, weathered "Main Street" downtown bisected by railroad tracks. While many of the buildings boast empty storefronts, evidence of recent renewal include a new town library, a landscaped pocket park flanked by a colorful mural depicting elements of Prescott life, and the presence of a few fast food and gas station chains. Hope, famous as the birthplace of former President Bill Clinton, is bigger, busier, and more prosperous. It has a few bigger buildings in its small downtown area and is home to the area's Walmart Supercenter – a sign of stature in small town America. To find a mall with department stores or popular table-service chain restaurants the locals drive 30 to 45 minutes southwest to Texarkana, Texas.
Between Prescott and Hope the twisting two-lane backroads pass acres of farmlands referred to as the tiny community of Harmony. It was at a house in Harmony that we stayed while visiting relatives. At night, the sky over Harmony is as black as I have seen.

I've done it. I like to play him in the jungle I start with E, Max E, start with machete+5. Usual route wolves>Blue>Wraiths>Wolves>red>Wraith>gank With a leash he should have good health to gank. His stealth is really nice when ganking. Before 6 he doesn't have that "ganking power", after 6 he has his ult(It's nice but has a kinda long cool down.) I like to get wriggles in him. Last season I was going Wriggles>Dorans>Dorans>Mobility boots>Frozen Mallet. HOWEVER, this season I like to build him with black cleaver and last whisper (Penetration too good), buy a warmogs if tankyness needed. I'd like to pick him if your team already has CC.
its good, i suggest clone at lv 3 or 4 depending how much HP you have tank clone vs camps are helpful, very helpful, but also for ganking clone ghost attack gank gg

So I notice that I'm a bit behind the times. My current price plan is:
Anytime 60 @ ?13.63
+Int. Option @ ?2.13
+ 6Mb data @ ?4.26
(all +VAT). For this I get 60 free mins to landline/TMob phones anytime and not much else! I guess that on top of the price plan I pay for about 30 mins to other networks and about 60 txt p/m.
Looking at my bills (around ?60 a month ) I'm thinking Flext 20 WnW would cost me ?27.50 a month, allow me to call any network/landline (and probably not exceed my call/txt limit) and give me more data.
Somehow it seems too good to be true! Am I really that out of date? I used to be an early adopter!
I'm 'out of commitment' with TMob, does it make sense to upgrade (Hermes?) at the same time as changing price plan?
Whats the best way forward, you thunk?

IEP Analysis
Peace is a useful proxy for progress – in many ways, the factors associated with a peaceful environment also underpin the conditions which enable human potential to flourish. By deepening our understanding of peace, we can advance our broader understanding of the social, economic, cultural and political factors that enable both peace and human development.
Research conducted by the Institute for Economics and Peace has shown peace is associated with particular social, economic, cultural and governance structures and institutions. The presence of these formal and informal structures and institutions tend to be associated with more peaceful environments; they can be interdependent and operate in a virtuous or vicious cycles.

Prometheus - 'Creations' FeaturetteReported by Outsiders - 11:21 AM 2012.05.01
Another new featurette is now online for Ridley Scott's upcoming sci-fi epic "Prometheus." This featurette, labeled 'Creations,' adds even more unreleased footage and a more of a insight into what we have store for us as we get prepped to once again emerge into the alienesque world that Sir Scott has created. In this featurette we start off with "The Story" outlook of the film with writers Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts, and then we get a look at "The Sets" with Charlize Theron and director Ridley Scott, and finally a glimpse of "The World" with Noomi Rapace. Ridley Scott, director of "Alien" and "Blade Runner," returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race. Prometheus stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Ben Foster, Patrick Wilson, Benedict Wong Release: June 8, 2012

The deficit report put out by the commission's co-chairs, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, had one striking omission. It does not include plans for a Wall Street speculation tax or any other tax on the financial industry.
This omission is striking because the co-chairs made a big point of saying that they looked everywhere to save money and/or raise revenue. As Senator Simpson said: "We have harpooned every whale in the ocean - and some minnows." Wall Street is one whale that appears to have dodged the harpoon.
This omission is made more striking by the fact that at least one member of the commission, Andy Stern, has long been an advocate of such taxes. Presumably he raised this issue in the commission meetings and the co-chairs chose to ignore him.
The co-chairs apparently also chose to ignore the I.M.F. Noting the waste and extraordinary economic rents in the sector, the I.M.F. has explicitly recommended a substantial increase in taxes on the financial industry. It is even more striking that the co-chairs apparently never considered a speculation tax since Wall Street's reckless greed is at the center of the current economic crisis.
In this context, it is worth noting that one of the co-chairs, Erskine Bowles, is literally on Wall Street's payroll. He earned $335,000 last year for his role as a member of Morgan Stanley's (one of the bailed out banks) board of directors. Morgan Stanley would likely see a large hit to its profits from a financial speculation tax.
It would have been appropriate for the reporters covering the report to ask about a financial speculation tax. It would also be appropriate to explore the connection between Mr. Bowles role as a Morgan Stanley director and the absence of any financial taxes in this far-reaching report.
One would hope that reporters who cover economic issues for the Washington Post know a little economics. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. Therefore, BTP will provide a free economics tutorial for the Post's economic reporters.
The Post told readers today that:
"world leaders share the overall aims of bringing trade flows into better balance and curtailing recent clashes over currency values."
The whole piece in fact shows the opposite. In a system of floating exchange rates the mechanism for correcting trade imbalances is a change in currency values. Countries with trade surpluses are supposed to see the value of their currency rise. Countries with trade deficits are supposed to see the value of their currency fall.
When a country's currency falls in value, imports become more expensive meaning that they will import less. Its exports become cheaper for people in other countries, causing foreigners to buy more of their exports. This will reduce its trade deficit. The opposite holds for a country's whose currency rises in value.
This is really simple. If you want to see trade imbalances corrected, then you want to see the value of the currency fall for countries with large deficits like the United States. This is just like if you want the school fire put out, you want the firefighters to spray water on it.
On the other hand, if you don't want the firefighters to use water, then you really don't want the fire extinguished. In the same vein, all the officials cited in this article who complain about the decline in the value of the dollar obviously do not want the trade imbalances corrected. It is that simple, at least for folks who learned intro econ.
There is another interesting sidebar for the economically literate. The article tells us:
"Some developing countries took aim at the Fed move in part because it could weaken the dollar, making their own currencies relatively more expensive, hurting their exports and fueling inflation."
This is a non sequitur. If the dollar falls in value, then imports from the United States will be cheaper for developing countries. This will lower inflation, other things equal. In addition, reduced exports from these countries will also reduce domestic demand and employment, which will also put downward pressure on inflation. If developing countries actually make the claims attributed to them in this article then the news is that their officials have no better grasp of economics than a Washington Post reporter.
If Ruth Marcus did not exist someone would have to invent her. She is the living embodiment of an ill-informed Washington pundit who desperately wants to meld the world to fit her preconceptions. (Okay, her colleagues at the Post, Fred Hiatt and David Broder give her stiff competition.)
Anyhow, the theme today is that Obama failed to recognize that his shellacking was from too much big government. First, it is important to recognize that there is a large body of research that shows that President Obama's shellacking was overwhelmingly the result of 9.6 percent unemployment, coupled with the fact that the Democrats held many marginal districts as a result of their gains in the last two elections. Models that incorporate only these variables predict most of the Democratic losses last week.
In other words, if President Obama could not do more to bring the unemployment rate down, then he should have expected his shellacking. Those opposed to more stimulus (like the Post crew) in effect wanted to see the Dems trounced since it was an entirely predictable outcome of the policy.
But, let's get to the big government story. Ms. Marcus tells us that the public is upset about big government interventions in the economy, like President Obama's health care plan and cap and trade.
Let's consider each of these in turn. Has the public seen President Obama's health care plan? That doesn't seem likely, since very few of the provisions have been implemented thus far. What the public knows of the health care plan is what the media has reported. This has included stories of "death panels," government takeover of the health care industry, and massive cuts in Medicare.
These charges have the common characteristic of not being true. (I will acknowledge that the cuts in Medicare are a real possibility, but please note that this would mean smaller government, not bigger government.) Polls bear out the fact the public is extremely ill-informed about the health care plan. We can blame media outlets like the Washington Post for this failure. (This is the principle, strongly endorsed by the Post, that if the students don't learn, then it is the teacher's fault.)
So, how is over-reaching and excessive government intervention the problem if the public doesn't really have a clue about the health care reform? Basically, the Republicans made things up and they stuck in the minds of millions of voters. That is the story.
Describing cap and trade or related measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) as big government intervention is also peculiar. Are the zoning restrictions that prevent me from building a slaughterhouse across the street from Bill Gates' house "big government?" I suspect that most people would say no. The issue here is of protecting property rights and making people accountable for externalities.
The externalities from GHG are destroying property and causing millions of people to die from such things as floods in Bangladesh and Pakistan and droughts in Sub-Saharan Africa. We can call rules designed to prevent this harm "big government," but that is just name-calling. In reality, this is just about limiting externalities in the same way as zoning ordinances do. But hey, that wouldn't fit the Post's story.
In introductory economics students learn that in a system of floating exchange rates (like the one we have), trade deficits and surpluses are eliminated through changes in the exchange rate. That is the point of the float. This means that if a country has a trade deficit, like the United States, then we should expect its currency to fall.
This means that when countries that complain about the U.S. trade deficit complain about the decline in the value of the dollar, as the NYT claims is the case with Germany, China, and Brazil, these countries are saying that they don't understand economics. In this case, the news is that major economic powers are being governed by people who don't know economics.
This would be like countries promoting their exports and then complaining that foreigners were buying up their output. If these countries want the United States to reduce its trade deficit then they want the dollar to fall. There is no other plausible mechanism to reduce a trade deficit. In the article the drop in the dollar is described as the "easy way out." It should also have been described as the "only way out."
The article also notes complaints from other countries that the low interest rates resulting from the Fed policies may lead to bubbles in their economies. Insofar as this is true, these countries are in fact complaining about their own poor economic management. Low interest rates, like low food and energy prices, should promote growth, not impede it. If countries consider low interest rates harmful to growth, it suggests that they have a poorly structured economy.
This article also refers to the United States' "addiction to debt." This sort of bizarre criticism (it is not supported by anything) belongs on the opinion pages, not in a news article.
Would a prominent public figure be allowed on NPR to defame a major U.S. corporation without challenge? For example, could a cabinet official assert that Microsoft is the main cause of global warming, with no evidence whatsoever to support this position, and not have anyone point out that this charge lacks merit? My guess is no.
Which raises the question of why Colorado Senator Michael Bennet was allowed to tell listeners on Morning Edition that if something is not done soon there will be no Social Security benefits for people his age (45). There are no, as in zero, nada, none, projections from any source that show Social Security will not be able to pay Mr. Bennet and his age cohort larger benefits (adjusted for inflation) than what retirees are receiving today.
That's right, you can look at projections from the Congressional Budget Office, from the Social Security trustees and any number of private sources and every last one shows that in any remotely plausible scenario Social Security will be paying benefits that are higher than what current retirees receive long after Senator Bennet passes into history.
This means that either Mr. Bennet is clueless about the financial status of the country's most important social program or he deliberately misled listeners. This issue would have been pursued by a serious news organization, instead of just passing along Mr. Bennet's falsehood unquestioningly to unsuspecting listeners.
Don't turn up the heat, it's too cold! That seems to be the message from the rest of the world about the decline in the dollar that might result from the latest round of quantitative easing QE by the Fed.
The NYT told readers that:
"The Fed's action, by lowering American interest rates, can also cause money to flood into other countries as investors seekhigher [sic] returns — which can threaten to overheat those countries' economies."
Okay, here we have a statement from the NYT that QE is bad because it will lower interest rates in other countries and cause their economies to grow more rapidly. But, elsewhere we are told that the problem with QE is that it will lower the dollar which will make U.S. goods more competitive internationally. This will reduce the exports of developing countries and slow their growth.
So, other countries are mad about QE because it can both cause their economy to overheat and also because it will slow growth. Let's see, QE will make these countries both grow too fast and too slow. Now that's a really bad policy.
The NYT got the story 100 percent wrong when it told readers that:
"International concerns about the high budget deficit in the United States, and Washington's seeming willingness to print money rather than tackle tough debt-cutting measures, help partly explain the recent anti-American criticism from countries as diverse as Brazil, China and Germany."
Actually, the Fed is taking more expansionary monetary policy; the government is not engaging in more stimulus. It would likely print even more money if the government began raising taxes and cutting spending.
This article is written largely like an advocacy piece. It does not include the view of any economists or any economic analyst who points out that the high current deficits are primarily the result of the economic collapse. Nor does it point out that the advocates of economic austerity lacked the competence to recognize the enormous housing bubbles, the collapse of which wrecked much of the world's economy. Readers should know that the admonitions for austerity are coming from highly paid people of questionable competence.
The NYT repeatedly refers to the credibility of the Federal Reserve Board. This is an interesting assertion. The Fed failed about as completely as a central bank possibly could in allowing the growth of an $ 8 trillion housing bubble. According to the Fed's own projections, the collapse of this bubble is likely to lead to more than $4 trillion in lost economic output, more than $13,000 for every person in the United States.
By comparison, the costs of the inflation that it was battling in the 70s and 80s were trivial. It is difficult to see how anyone who understands economics would give the Fed any credibility whatsoever based on its track record.
This should have been the headline of an article in which Germany's finance minister both complained about the United States credit-led model of growth and the decline in the value of the dollar. A falling dollar is the mechanism through which the United States would get off its credit-led model of growth. It will make imports more expensive in the United States, leading us to buy fewer imports. It will also make our exports cheaper, leading us to increase exports. This will reduce the U.S. trade deficit and therefore its foreign borrowing.
Complaining about both the credit-led model of growth and then complaining about the decline in the currency is like complaining that the room is too hot and then complaining when someone turns on the air conditioner. Germany's finance minister apparently does not understand economics, which should have been the main point of this article.

The director of the upcoming film adaptation of erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey has said she tells her children it is "a love story they'll never see".
Sam Taylor-Johnson described the story as "a dark fairy tale" and "like the world of the Grimm Brothers".
The film is expected to be unveiled in time for Valentine's Day 2015, after its original August release date was put back after casting difficulties.
Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy hits 100m sales mark
The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy has now sold over 100 million copies worldwide making it one of the most widely read book series in history.
Around 27 million copies have been sold in the UK and Commonwealth countries, while over one million copies have been bought in France, Germany, Spain, Brazil and the Netherlands.
Publishers Vintage Books said they had sold more than 45 million copies of the trilogy in the US in both print and eBook.
The popularity of the El James's erotic novels, which has been translated into 51 different languages, have sparked the creation of a film which is expected to hit screens in time for Valentine's Day 2015 after difficulties with casting.
Two copies were sold every two seconds during peak sales and it is the fastest selling book series in the history of Random House publishing company.
The sales put the novel on similar figures to Ian Fleming's James Bond series, Stephenie Meyer's famous vampire romance Twilight and C.S Lewis' The Chronicles Of Narnia - although it still has some way to go to beat JK Rowling's Harry Potter which has sold 450 million copies.

Rita Ora to star in Fifty Shades of Grey
British singer Rita Ora has landed a role in the upcoming film version of Fifty Shades of Grey.
The 23-year-old How Do We Do star will play Mia, the adopted sister of lead character Christian Grey in the highly anticipated Hollywood remake of E L James' best-selling trilogy.
She tweeted the news to her her 3.4 million followers: "It's official! I've been cast in @FiftyShades of Grey as Christian's sister Mia. #FiftyShades"
Film adaptation of Fifty Shades delayed until 2015
The film version of best-selling erotic tale Fifty Shades Of Grey has been pushed back and will not be released until 2015.
The film was due to be unveiled next August, but will not be seen until Valentine's Day the following year, reported Entertainment Weekly.
Based on EL James's hugely successful book, the movie has already had difficulties with casting, and the start of shooting was put back a month from this month until December.
The production delay was thought to have been partly as a result of the abrupt exit of star Charlie Hunnam, who has now been replaced by Jamie Dornan.
Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley said the decision was "to take advantage of women who are invariably on vacation with their families during the month of August in Europe."
Jamie Dornan tipped for lead role in Fifty Shades film
Jamie Dornan has stepped in to play the male lead in the film adaptation of E.L. James' racy novel Fifty Shades of Grey, according to Variety magazine.
The vacancy to play Christian Grey arose after Charlie Hunnam dropped out of the project citing clashes with his filming schedule.
Jamie is perhaps best known for playing the serial killer in the BBC series The Fall. The Northern Irish actor has also modelled for Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Armani.
He will star opposite Dakota Johnson, who is playing the novel's heroine Anastasia Steele.
Actor 'excited' to play lead in Fifty Shades Of Grey film
British actor Charlie Hunnam has spoken about his forthcoming role as Christian Grey in the film adaptation of EL James' Fifty Shades of Grey.
He said: "I'm just very excited and honoured to be entrusted with bringing this incredible character to life.
"Outside of the notoriety and the phenomenon of that book, just the adaptation of it, this guy as he exists in the film is such an incredible role".
Hunnam's leading lady will be Dakota Johnson who takes on the role of Anastasia Steele.

As generally understood, the person accusing (the "pot") is understood to share some quality with the target of their accusation (the "kettle"). The pot is mocking the kettle for a little soot when the pot itself is thoroughly covered in it.
An alternative interpretation, recognised by some,[1][2] but not all,[3] sources is that the pot is sooty (being placed on a fire), while the kettle is clean and shiny (being placed on coals only), and hence when the pot accuses the kettle of being black, it is the pot's own sooty reflection that it sees: the pot accuses the kettle of a fault that only the pot has, rather than one that they share.
A poem in an early-twentieth-century school textbook runs:
"Oho!" said the pot to the kettle;
"You are dirty and ugly and black!
Sure no one would think you were metal,
Except when you're given a crack."
"Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot;
"'Tis your own dirty image you see;
For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –
That your blackness is mirrored in me."—Maxwell's Elementary Grammar, 1904, [citation needed]

An Air Force pilot from Canon City who disappeared over North Vietnam 45 years ago is being buried at the Air Force Academy today. The remains of Col. Leo Boston of Canon City were identified three months ago using DNA testing.
Gov. John Hickenlooper has ordered that flags on all state buildings be lowered for the day to honor Boston.
Boston was flying a search-and-rescue mission in 1966 when he became separated from other aircraft. He was listed as missing in
action until 1978, when his status was changed to presumed dead. Human remains and aircraft wreckage were found in the area where he disappeared between 1996 and 2005 by U.S.-Vietnamese teams.

A bipartisan group of eight senators laid out a package of consensus principles in January. A corresponding House group has been locked in closed-door discussions for weeks.
"We want to encourage [the bipartisan groups] to produce a work product. We will take that and then see what additional concerns we have, and we will take that to the broader membership of the House and see what their reaction is to it," Goodlatte says. "It would be an important development to have either a bipartisan framework or actual bill produced."
Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio has made it a priority to return as many bills as possible to what members of Congress know as "regular order," the process by which potential legislation is shaped by lawmakers on its relevant congressional committee before coming to the House floor to face further amendments and, eventually, a vote.
From President Obama's signature health-care law to a flurry of tax and spending bills proffered by GOP House leaders, among other notable examples, this has not been Congress's standard operating procedure for years.
On Friday, Goodlatte began that process by holding the first educational session with members of the House Judiciary Committee. The information sessions will expand to all 233 members of the Republican caucus in the weeks to come, Goodlatte says, to make sure that members not only feel a part of the process but also can begin raising the issue with their constituents and chewing it over themselves before being pushed to make a decision on what could be politically explosive and complex immigration reforms.

@Left Coast ... my Blaze is stock, other than the ESC, I strengthen the ruddervators and put on a prop that I prefer. There is nothing incorrect with the factory prop, I simply prefer the CAM props on my gliders. Plane performed quite well with the original prop.
I never, never use the Asian garden variety ESC. Many do and have good fortune with them and never have a problem. ESC failure is a hit or miss among vendors. Even the big names in ESC have random failures. Parkzone/Eflite and others have a on again/off again record with their ESC. The majority of users will never have a problem with the ESC. Most of the club members of my two clubs buy inexpensive Asian ESC and none of them have problems yet with these. I change mine out because I am not a gambler .... and I am married to woman whos maiden name is Murphy! I must be very careful. The truth is about any of these inexpensive or even expensive Asian foam planes is that most of them not really ARF or PNP as they are often advertised. They are mass produced and variations happen in production. Owners of these planes should always check the basics of wing alignment, control surface, CoG, etc. before flying. So go ahead and buy the plane, take an hour or two to properly trim and setup the plane and then go fly and enjoy it. If you have problems, then ask here for help. |

http://www.multiplexusa.com/files/M2...ard_Manual.pdf http://www.multiplexusa.com/files/M2...plement_LR.pdf As well, from looking at manual it looked like the tail servos where partially covered in foam and would need to be cut out of the foam if they needed to be replaced. The base price of the Blizzard is reasonable but then you will still need to buy a motor/esc and servos. I believe that as long as buyers realise that the Blaze and Blizzard are not thermal ships but a warmliner and a hotliner, they will have realistic expectatons of how the plane performs. Price wise and expectation wise I feel like I made the Blaze a better decision for me. I really wanted a warmliner to putz around with and did not want to build something. The Blizzard is more approaching the hotliner expectation, requires a slightly complicated build ( wing stiffeners ) and requires greated dexterity due to increased speeds over the stock Blaze. |

Well, I bought a Dynamic-S used, it looks stock except the motor which is NTM Prop Drive Series 35-30 1100kv, I put my own spinner and 11x6 prop on it. Don't know what ESC is there it looks 30A maybe. It pulls 22A static. I fly Thermal gliders so I gave it the usual setup with spoilerons, setup aileron differential at 50%. The left and right ailerons do not look the same left is much thicker, quality issue, I guess. I bought it to fly something in windy days for fun. I knew the cg would be a bit too far forward so I backed the 1300 3s I used, back, 1/2" or so, from the specified cg. The launch was a non event, at 3/4 throttle the glider climbed up at a shallow angle. I got up to safe height cut the motor and did the trims. few clicks left aileron as expected, couple clicks up. It glided fine and fairly fast. Gave it full power, it climbs almost vertical, 80 deg maybe, that is just fine. Cut at 400 ft and tried thermaling a bit. Wind was about 12mph, good penetration. Needs constant aileron input with the flat wing, slight tip stall at slow speed but easily pulled out of that. The glide is very flat and fast, I am sure I can make it thermal a bit, in the summer. It loops and rolls quite well even without power, under power it rolls pretty quick for a glider. It had almost same speed upwind as down so I hold good expectations for wind penetration. Landing was another non event, lands fine with no spoilers and I tried with spoilers, comes down a bit quicker, much better for short landings. I got 5 good climbs on each battery, flew 3 batteries. Now I wait for stronger wind, but it is getting pretty cold here. I like it so far, fun little ship.

I would really like to know if anyone has solved the loss of control at speed problem. I read about 30 pages of this thread, and I just don't wanna read anymore. I've had my blaze for about 4 months. I love it. I fly it like a madman (within the envelope where I can control it), but I wanna see it go faster. I haven't let it get any real speed since about 2 months ago when I had it up in a cloud. I decided I'd point it down and mess around. About 3 or 4 seconds into it, I got nervous because of the speed and my experience with its sluggish response at speed. Well, this time. I had 0 response from everything. I had every stick at full deflection, and it continued at an incredible speed towards a crowded home depot parking lot. It was still hundreds of feet up, but I was sure I was screwed. Some combination of controls eventually slowed it down enough for me to pull out of the 15 second dive of terror, but this was maybe 50 feet off the ground. It sounds high, but remember, I started from a freakin cloud! So, anyways, all I've tried is silkspanning the control surfaces. This dramatically improved their stiffness, but the lack of improvement where it counts was equally dramatic. So, has anyone identified the actual problem and solved it?
Dec 11, 2012, 11:28 PM | ||
Repaired one of these for a friend and test flew it. Couldn't really get it to go fast enough down low to perform, glad i didn't try anything tooo extreme from up high. Is it worth modding a foam frame? I've got a foam st fox with glassed wings that flys well, (for what it is). But a full composite model is something else! So packed this one up after one batt and returned it. Good luck |
Dec 12, 2012, 12:21 AM | |
Well no wonder it wouldn't go, MFN2 -- lookit how you've got your V-Nose! It's catchin' all that air.....naturally gonna slow it down! I can understand why everybody was throwin' shoes at it!!
I mean, you ain' even got the fast-lookin' decals on it. That alone prolly cost ya 15-20mph! Jeez man -- I thought you knew a thing 'r two about buildin' planes! |
Dec 12, 2012, 12:53 AM | |
So.....ya let the kiddies & chookies go barefoot, whilst they give up their shoes for throwing. That shows dedication & sacrifice, and that's what power gliding is all about!!!
What's even cooler tho, is you Ozzies & yer shoes what, when ya throw 'em, they come back! Amazing!! |

As others have said or suggested you have reached maximum speed. Please remember that ANY model has a finite speed even F5Bs can and do break up when maximum speed is exceeded.
The Blaze, though a bundle of fun, is still just a foamie fun flier. Even the term warmliner is a misnomer or is misunderstood by some purchasers. Mustflynow2 is right, if you want to go really fast then shift to a model with a suitable structure and wing section. It will cost more money but you can buy cheaper gear to start with and then upgrade the power as your skills develop. If you must have close to max think of a full investment around $2000+ but you will get quick with about 4500 watts on tap in a model around 1.5kg or thereabouts. |
Dec 12, 2012, 06:16 AM | ||
Back to the planes, I've been flying a launch model (chinese) luna with only 800watts a mh32 section which is slow at about 1.8kg. It's not really a model for speed but it flys great, again for what it is. Never lost any feel with it, even when the wind is up. Could spend more for a power upgrade but I am a little wary of the air frame, again limits. But it's a step up from foamies for $500-600. As for f5b,4.5 kwou can start to use the term hotliner now |
Dec 12, 2012, 12:15 PM | ||
And 4500 watts in a model about 1.5Kg?!? Uhhh... wait a minute: Electric motors can absorb about 3W/gram... so 4500 watts implies a 1.5Kg motor. You must mean 1.5Kg for a model without motor, etc...? So... maybe... 3.5Kg AUW? That's still... 500~600 watts per pound? Smokin! I guess "big bucks" can buy "major mojo". I'm OK in the cheap seats (for now). |

OldeMan, Every one decides, I guess, how much money they want to spend on their toys. Frankly, I'm somewhat like you I suppose being on the low end moneywise I guess but numerous fliers in our club have models up in the high end. As examples consider a twin gas turbine Warthog around 3 meters span or a 32 pound Curtiss P- 40.
As for the power aspect, got to say sorry but that 1.5kg (approx!)is ready to go. Several of the available F5B air frames tip the weight under 750g bare. This is why they are only given a burst of power for maybe one or two seconds to achieve height. This too is why I've referred to any "hot" model I've flown as a warmliner. None of mine have exceeded 1000 watts but again in a roughly 1.5kg weight model. For my limited ability this is ample for me having fun. |

TY KU Announces TY KU Soju
December 8, 2011TY KU announces TY KU Soju, an addition to their premium portfolio of Asian wines and spirits. TY KU is the first to introduce soju to the United States by unveiling a modern update of this ancient beverage to health-conscious consumers across the country. A premium clear spirit that is comparable with vodka, TY KU Soju improves the drinking experience with 40% fewer calories and a sophisticated taste.
Hand-crafted, TY KU creates an unparallel premium soju. TY KU Soju is created with 100% premium barley that is handpicked in Oita, Japan, contributing to its smooth taste. The flavor profile is light and balanced with hints of citrus; this is achieved through TY KU's use of white koji, which is widely revered for its ability to bring out lighter floral notes. To ensure unrivaled purity, TY KU Soju utilizes pristine spring water, naturally filtered within the cedar forests of the Kyushu Mountains. Bottled in a traditional distillery dating back to the Edo period, TY KU Soju is distilled three times with reduced-pressure, single-pot distillation, providing a crisp, clean finish.
TY KU Soju is a natural flavor catalyst. It absorbs and enhances the flavor of fruits, mixers and other fresh ingredients for lower calories and better-tasting cocktails. Mixologists, chefs and tastemakers around the country are rapidly falling in love with TY KU Soju and featuring it on distinguished cocktail menus across the nation.
The TY KU Soju bottle, with its strikingly beautiful blue transparent fading glass, is inspired by the picturesque mist covered mountain ranges and the pristine blue skies of Japan. Remaining identifiable, the bottle maintains the distinctive iconic and award-winning TY KU bottle shape.
TY KU Soju is the only soju to be honored with the Five Star Diamond Award and received the highest rating as a no-aged soju/shochu at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

As Pakistan changes, should U.S. policy?
The US is increasingly out of sync with Pakistan's newly-elected government, say analysts.
Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP/File
The Bush administration's focus on military solutions against extremists in Pakistan has analysts concerned that the US is persisting in a failed policy with a critical ally at a time when changing circumstances in the region – including a newly elected government in Pakistan and heightened conflict in Afghanistan – demand a strategy shift.
Last week, Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte called on Pakistan to drive extremism from its tribal areas, saying "we will not be satisfied" until all militant activity is under control. Mr. Negroponte, speaking in Washington, stressed the importance of maintaining a strong relationship between the two countries.
But critics say his remarks show the US stance toward Pakistan is not changing quickly enough to factor in the weakening of longtime ally President Pervez Musharraf and the emergence of a democratically elected government.
Recent events reflect increased dissension between the two countries since the new government took over earlier this year.
Pakistan has signaled it will negotiate with militants in a bid to calm the restive border region, a move Washington opposes. It has also frowned upon the US military's appointment of a senior American officer, Maj. Gen. Jay Hood, as military envoy to Islamabad.

Rob's mind-bending drama will change the way you look at him — and about our economy.
If your ideal Robert Pattinson movie involves the 26-year-old Brit baring his fangs and sparkling in the sunlight, you might want to adjust your mindset before seeing Rob's new movie, Cosmopolis. A decidedly intellectual departure from Rob's previous endeavors, the David Cronenberg-directed picture fuses sex, violence and the dangers of capitalism. (Like I said, it's no Twilight.)
Rob plays 28-year-old billionaire Eric Packer, who spends almost the entire film driving through New York City in the back of a limousine to get a haircut. Along the way, he encounters — and, in some cases, has crazy-hot sex with — a variety of intriguing individuals with ties to his professional and personal life. Among them are his wife (Sarah Gadon), his mistresses (Juliette Binoche and Patricia McKenzie), and the unpredictable Benno Levin (Paul Giamatti).
Even when the audience isn't entirely sure what's happening in the movie — and trust me, you'll feel that way at times — Rob's powerful, almost hypnotic, performance commands everyone's undivided attention. You never know what (or who) Eric is going to do next, which adds a layer of suspense to the unconventionally low-action experience.
The film's release is also eerily timely — one particular riot scene in the heart of Times Square calls to mind images of the Occupy Wall Street protests — which gives the movie an unexpected sense of relevance.
My only real issue with Cosmopolis is its reliance on lengthy, mundane monologues — usually about digital capitalism — that make you feel less like you're watching a movie, and more like you're sitting in the front row of a college economics lecture. That said, it stays very true to Don DeLillo's 2003 novel of the same name, so it's to be expected.
Bottom line: Cosmopolis is an intriguing, intellectual ride (pun intended) that serves as a powerful vehicle (pun intended… again) for Rob that I believe will launch him into the next phase of his adult film career. (OK, that pun was an accident).
Cosmopolis opens in select theaters Aug. 17. See it — and bring your thinking cap.

I am from Russia, saw it 4 times. The surprising film – it as a portal in unknown. Each time i have opened new senses.
Very, very, very difficult film – a lot of people leaves.
Rob played extremely, simply exorbitantly! But Eric such… the disagreeable person, me "painfully" to see our solar Robert in such unpleasant role.

I'm going to see the movie and then tell my opinion
I read the book a few months ago
I liked the book,
is short,
is very crude and too real
Sometimes I cost continue reading because it was too much for me,
It is not the reading I do normally,
Eric Parker is a young man with a different intellectual and chronological age
for my represents current society, dramatic, shocking, spiritual vacuum with questionable moral values, ambitious, creative, handlers,
EP is all a male specimen,
EP takes advantage of what is, uses it and discards it,
when he viewed in the dilemma of the loss, he is stressed, but solves it in his own way,
I read in a interview that it is one of the favorite books of the actor Jack Nicholson, and Robert Pattinson admires this actor.

Although i havent watched this movie yet but im pretty much guessing that the whole movie is either going to be liked by the audience or its going to be dissed as its one of those sort of movies that not many people are going to understand much of it, its going to confuse the audience, but one thing for sure robs performance is being tested in this movie and its probably going to show another side to robs acting career! good luck to him!
Posted at 11:15 PM on August 10, 2012
You are very much correct. I had a friend who lives overseas already see it and she and her husband loved it, but she heard a few people say they were confused. The movie is heavily dialogued, but Rob is brilliant and to die for. Apparently its really genius, so I say to people just because you don't understand it doesn't mean its dumb or does not make sense. I can't wait to see it!

Reuters: iTunes Music Store Europe next year & iTunes Windows update
"'We're clearly working on it (but) I think we'll do it next year,' he told journalists on the fringes of the annual Apple Expo in Paris. He said it took time to sort out distribution rights with the music publishers who own the songs.
Jobs reiterated that, before the end of the year, Apple would bring iTunes and the online music store which has sold 10 million songs since its launch four months ago, to owners of personal computers that run on Microsoft's Windows operating system.
'We're very much on track to execute iTunes for Windows,' he said."

Epson has debuted four new short-throw LCD classroom projectors and is gearing up to release a new standalone module that turns those projectors into interactive display devices.
The new interactive module, the BrightLink Solo 3, is designed specifically for four new projectors Epson is adding to its PowerLite 400 series. Those include the PowerLite 420, 425W, 430, and 435W.
The PowerLite 420 is an entry-level short-throw projector offering a resolution of 1,024 x 768 (XGA), a contrast ratio of 3,000:1, and a brightness of 2,500 lumens. With a throw ratio of 0.54 to 0.74, the projector can produce an image up to 106 inches (diagonal) from about 46 inches.
The PowerLite 425W is a widescreen (16:10) version of the 420, with the same contrast ratio and brightness, but offering a WXGA resolution (1,280 x 800). It offers a throw ratio of 0.48 to 0.65 to project a 113-inch (diagonal) image from about 48 inches.
The PowerLite 430 is an XGA projector offering 3,000 lumens of brightness, a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, and a throw ratio of 0.54 to 0.74 to produce an image up to 106 inches (diagonal) from about 46 inches.
Finally, the PowerLite 435W is a widescreen (16:10) version of the PowerLite 430, with the same contrast ratio and brightness, but offering a WXGA resolution. Like the PowerLite 425W, it offers a throw ratio of 0.48 to 0.65 to project a 113-inch (diagonal) image from about 48 inches.
Other features common to all of the forthcoming PowerLite 400-series projectors include:
The new models measure 13.6" (w) x 11.7" (d) x 6.2" (h), including feet, and weigh in at 8.7 pounds.
AV inputs on all of the new models include HDMI, dual RGB (mini D-sub 15-pin), USB type B for display and audio, S-video, composite video, stereo RCA, dual stereo minijack, and microphone. AV outputs include RGB (mini D-sub 15-pin) and stereo minijack. Networking and control ports include LAN (RJ-45), USB types A and B, and RS-232C. A wireless 802.11b/g/n module is available as an option.
All of the new models will be compatible with the BrightLink Solo 3 using the short-throw projector mount or ceiling mount attachment. A version of the BrightLink Solo 3 will also be available with RM Easiteach software.
The BrightLink Solo 3 is expected to be available in December. It will sell for $499. Epson hasn't announced pricing on the RM Easiteach version, but RM Easiteach is a $100 addon for the current BrightLink Solo.
All four of the new projectors are expected to ship in November. The PowerLite 420 will sell for $949, the 425W for $1,049, the 430 for $1,049, and the 435W for $1,149.
Additional details can be found on Epson's projector portal or its Brighter Futures education site.

Interested in volunteer
I'm looking into doing volunteer firefighting here in richmond, va. I've been reading about the training and all of that. I do work a full time job, as i figure most volunteers do. What kind of time should I expect to be spending volunteering, aside from training? I understand there is no real way to know. There are too many variables. I'm just looking for a ballpark idea, so I know if this is something I can make work with my career. Thanks in advance.

It will definitely vary. There will be many variables: Dept size/number runs, Dept training requirements, family issues etc. It is extremely fulfilling to be a volly for me. Our Dept has training regularly so you are looking at 2-3 evening a month for that. Schools and training classes. My suggestion is to ask the local firefighters. They are the ones that would know. Some months wil be minimal and others will be consumed.
there is no real way to say how much time you would have to spend being a volly as in our department we train for at least 3 hrs once a week on thursdays plus then you have the time you need to take into consideration for call volums of your department. plus other things such as pr work, like parades and such and just remember this being a vol. firefighter isnt a 9-5 job but im sure you already know that

There are a number of different places to volunteer in the Richmond region, and the time requirements will vary depending on which department you join.
Shoot me a PM, I'm also in the Richmond area, perhaps I can help shed some light on things for you.Career Fire Captain
Volunteer Chief Officer
Never taking for granted that I'm privileged enough to have the greatest job in the world!
Ok, here is how I trained with a full time job. Our department gives 2 year grace period to get your FFI/II, Hazmat and MFR.
FFI/II and Hazmat: 6 month class, every Monday and Wednesday night 6pm-whenever we got done that night, usually 9:30-10:00, plus every other Saturday but sometimes every Saturday.
MFR: 6 month class, every Thursday night 5:30-9:30, but sometimes went longer.
Normal Training: Twice a month plus special practices if required. One training day is a Saurday, the other is a Monday evening.

so first off...hope u do join, its some of the most fun (although not always easy) job ive ever done, as well as the most rewarding. i used to live in the richmond area, in louisa county, and volunteered there...i dont think the city of richmond has a volunteer system, and im not sure about henrico county, i know the short pump area is covered by henrico county fire, which is paid...however ask around, if you see firemen sumwhere im sure theyll b happy to help ya out, as far as time...it all depends on how much time you wanna spend, some guys are at our station all the time, others only show up for calls n mandatory training, doesnt mean either ones a better fireman, jus sum people have more time...neways good luck man

Cancer Services of New Mexico's Spring 2014 Family Cancer Retreat will be May 2-4, at the Marriott Pyramid North hotel in Albuquerque.
This free, three-day educational program will provide New Mexico's adult cancer patients/survivors and their loved ones with the tools and information they need to manage the treatment and recovery process.
More than 300 people from more than 125 New Mexican families coping with cancer are expected to participate, making this the largest general cancer education program in New Mexico and the largest program of its type in the United States.
The program will combine discussions and lectures by many of New Mexico's leading cancer specialists with fun activities that provide a break from the day-to-day challenges of living with cancer.
Participants will also have the opportunity to spend time with each other in informal sessions, speaking with and learning from others who are coping with similar issues. Supervised childcare and recreational activities will be provided for children and teens during the educational sessions.
There is no charge to participate in the retreat — the entire program, including meals, lodging, and all educational activities is provided at no cost to participants.

British princes help flood victims as new storm looms
Published on Feb 14, 2014 9:14 PM
LONDON (AFP) - Princes William and Harry pitched in for flood victims on Friday as a new winter storm barrelled towards Britain, threatening fresh misery after the wettest start to the year for 250 years.
The princes joined soldiers distributing sandbags to protect properties in the flood-hit village of Datchet, in the shadow of Queen Elizabeth II's Windsor Castle residence.
The royal relief came as the Met Office said a "multi-pronged attack" of wind, rain and snow was sweeping across the country after making landfall in south-west England.
It said up to 4cm of rain could fall on Friday as officials warned of huge waves on England's south coast as high tides combine with 128kph of winds.

Everybody is doing insanely high damage. New items made it so easy to do damage, its not even funny. Tanks melting in 1 vs 1, squishy champs dieing in 2 shots.. most of the champs are now AD/AP carries..
So what now? Stack health and magic-resist and focus on defending against the lesser evil Black torch? Health has always been the only way to protect yourself against true damage (which is what armor penetration stacking has become), and with magic resist protects you against most health scaling magic damage. Q. How do you feel about the current magic/armor penetration system? They missed the big picture when looking at the overall balance in the armor penetration. If magic penetration can't stack "Eyes of pain limits 1 item per champion"; Why the heck should the armor penetration (brutalizer, ghost blade, and black cleaver) items stack with each other? How could their item balancing team not pick this up if this patch is all about balancing armor and magic penetration?
^this would be a good start, making flat arpen passives unique, because that's what is taking people down to zero armor after all the % pen
I feel like it's broken.
TBH,I think that the item balance was perfectly alright before this blackfire and other stuff came out.I feel that all this was unnecessary,They should have simply added the new items (minus bft,that thing is extremely annoying to deal with) and gave the new arm pen formula.Cleaver didn't need any change.I used it on my Xin Zhao as a core item and it worked out excellently. Now after these changes its nuke or be nuked so its unfun for me.I go nuke a person on xin with his e then his buddy nukes me,the cycle goes on and on till end of match with the winner being the team that won the first fight.
the problem with ad caster items and Support items is that the former are always bruisers wet dreams and the later are used as bruisers utility thanks (yeah i know bruiser complain and the l2p noob jabber) to the massive stats they get with their kits alone, so Cleaver or any other item made to boost ad casters will break bruisers and every support item made to boost support will break bruisers(hell innervating locket was removed because of UDYR although the wiki hides the fact and says Sona), there's a serious dramatical design error there, like old jax, where riot couldn't change anything before JAx's remake becasue every change would Buff Jax.
The game feels like a FPS death match now.

Foot_fault was on about how people were dissing venus and thinking her career was over when she went through her mini-slump, well at least people were talking about her still,not ignoring her completely like what's happened to chanda.there has to be some chanda fans around on this board concerned about her injury besides me.C'mon chanda fans, show yer support !!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Alcoa (AA) Joint Venture Settles Bahraini Bribery Case
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Alcoa (AA - Get Report) announced Thursday that joint venture Alcoa World Alumina agreed to pay a $384 million to settle bribery allegations.
Shares of Alcoa fell 2.1% to $10.60 on Thursday.
The joint venture was accused by the U.S. Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission of bribing and providing kickbacks to members of the Bahraini royal family to maintain a supply agreement with a state company. The Justice Department said the payments were sent through various middlemen and shell companies.
Alcoa World Alumina will pay a total of $223 million in installments over the next four years. Australian mining company Alumina (AWC) will pay 15% of the total fine.
While the joint venture will plead guilty to one count of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, there are no allegations against Alcoa itself. News of the settlement comes hours before Alcoa will announce its quarterly earnings on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings team rates ALCOA INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about its recommendation: "We rate ALCOA INC (AA) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed ? some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, impressive record of earnings per share growth and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including weak operating cash flow, poor profit margins and generally higher debt management risk." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Metals & Mining industry. The net income increased by 116.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$143.00 million to $24.00 million.
- ALCOA INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ALCOA INC reported lower earnings of $0.17 versus $0.52 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.35 versus $0.17).
- The gross profit margin for ALCOA INC is rather low; currently it is at 16.77%. Regardless of AA's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, AA's net profit margin of 0.41% is significantly lower than the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $214.00 million or 18.63% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.
