Providence Friars (11-3)
@12 Syracuse Orange (14-0)
Tuesday, December 28
Carrier Dome
Attendance: 20,388
12 Syracuse
Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - Kris Joseph poured in a career-high 27 points as 5th-ranked Syracuse held off a late push from Providence in an 81-74 win in the Big East opener for both teams at the Carrier Dome.
Scoop Jardine supplied 21 points and seven assists while Rick Jackson provided nine points and 17 rebounds for the Orange (14-0, 1-0 Big East), who have dominated the all-time series with a 44-10 advantage.
Syracuse has won the first 14 games of a season for a third time in head coach Jim Boeheim's 35 campaigns on the bench.
Marshon Brooks scored 27 points and grabbed six rebounds and Bilal Dixon chipped in with 11 points and nine boards for the Friars (11-3, 0-1), who had won two in a row and seven out of eight entering the contest.
Providence pulled to within 51-47 on a Brooks foul shot with 13 1/2 minutes to play before the hosts embarked on a 14-2 burst to forge a 65-49 lead with just over nine minutes remaining.
Gerard Coleman and Brooks knocked down three-pointers to trim the hosts lead to 68-63 inside of five minutes to go.
Brooks missed a corner three attempt that could have sliced the lead to one before Jardine's pull-up jumper pushed the Syracuse lead to 73-67 with two minutes to go.
After the teams traded buckets, three Jackson foul shots made it 78-71 with under 50 seconds to go. A Duke Mondy three-pointer trimmed the lead back to four with 32.4 ticks left.
Joseph and Jardine combined to hit three free throws to account for the final margin.
Leading 29-25 with 5 1/2 minutes left in the opening half, Syracuse reeled off the next eight points to extend the lead to 12 with 2:39 remaining.
A Joseph dunk and James Southerland triple pushed the Orange advantage to 42-29 before a Vincent Council trifecta right before the buzzer made it a 10- point game at the half.

It is quite apparent from his recent performances that off-spinner Shohag Gazi has suffered a major slump in form ever since his emphatic performance against New Zealand last year, which saw him take a hattrick and score a century in the first Test.
In the six ODIs that he has played this year he took four wickets at an average of 43.75. He failed to pick any wickets in the four T20 matches that he played this year and had an economy rate of 8.78, the highest among Bangladesh's specialist bowlers.
However, the biggest sign of his dwindling career was perhaps seen at the end the Dhaka Premier League's players' transfer yesterday. Gazi was not signed by any club.
While some club officials blamed Gazi's form, others claimed that Gazi had a 'behavioural' issue when asked why they avoided picking the spinner.
The off-spinner, who went to the office of the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis -- the governing body of the DPL -- yesterday to register himself and thereby keep himself available, claimed to be unperturbed.
"If a player does not get picked, he generally does feel bad, but not me. I am not sad. If no team wants to pick me then so be it. I know my capabilities and I will prove myself," said Gazi.
"I am not a big player. Why should I get an offer? It's only the grand players who get the deals done," joked the discarded off-spinner.

It's hard to believe, but the Bush administration's foreign policy and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are influenced by the writings of a cave-dwelling hermit who had apocalyptic visions some 2000 years ago.Search RightWeb

The American Islamic Congress (AIC) is a controversial Muslim advocacy organization with ties to right-wing and anti-Islamic groups. AIC has received funding from the Donors Capital Fund, a group that the Center for American Progress has described as the "lifeblood of the Islamophobia network in America." Notorious "pro-Israel" megadonor Sheldon Adelson is also a backer of AIC, along with fellow billionaire Seth Klarman. The group, which also receives government funding, has been accused of serving as a "faithful arm of soft American power in the Middle East."
Billionaire hedge fund investor Seth Klarman is a prolific funder of an array of rightist "pro-Israel" groups. He has supported The Israel Project, the Middle East Forum, and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, among other groups. Klarman also invests in Israeli media, having established his own newspaper, the Times of Israel, in 2012. He has bemoaned growing sympathy for the Palestinians, stating: "In the West, 'Palestinianism'—the notion that an innocent, indigenous people suffers a senseless, cruel oppression by the Jews of Israel (who ought to know better) threatens to become the standard view."
Ron Dermer, Israel's ambassador to the United States, has been in the spotlight for his role in organizing—and then failing to properly disclose—a controversial speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress. The surprise announcement of Netanyahu's speech, which was first made by House Speaker John Boehner shortly after President Obama's State of the Union address, spurred widespread criticism, with the White House calling it a "breach of protocol" because it had not been notified of the invitation in advance. One observer, referring to Dermer's role in the affair, said: "In almost any other case, such bad faith and duplicity would lead a host country to ask that an ambassador be withdrawn."
David Albright and hisInstitute for Science and International Security are widely regarded as important apolitical members of the nonproliferation community in the United States. However, a growing number of writers and experts have begun criticizing Albright's work, particularly on Iran, and some of his critics say that he has made inaccurate claims about their work in order to counter their criticisms.
During his recent confirmation hearings, new Pentagon chief Ashton Carter gave "every indication that he would be a hard-liner at the Pentagon and a strong counterweight to administration doves." He said that he would be "inclined" to send "defensive arms" to Ukraine and would resist efforts to speed up the closure of Guantanamo Bay. After his first trip to Afghanistan as secretary of defense, he announced the United States may slow its withdrawal of troops and keep more troops in the country than previously planned.

Instead of elevating AIPAC's stature, Benjamin Netanyahu has completely upstaged it.
March 02, 2015
The eleven most prominent arguments echoed by Netanyahu against the Iranian nuclear negotiations have been thoroughly debunked.
February 28, 2015
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's main reason for staking out such a hardline on Iran is less about controlling its nuclear program than ensuring that Iran has a permanent pariah status that would preclude Washington-Tehran rapprochement.
February 27, 2015
The primary reason the United States is militarily involved in the Middle East is to support Israel, which has led to its loss of credibility across the region.
February 25, 2015
Rather than allowing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to dominate the media stories about the Iran nuclear negotiations, more airtime and even invitations to address Congress should be given to our NATO allies.

There is a clear correlation between state secrecy and the rule of law—as one grows, the other surely shrinks.

layout for review
We could use some feedback on our kitchen plan. Many thanks to all of you who've helped me get this far!!
For reference:
We are a family of three, with number 4 due in a few weeks. Our son is 1 1/2. We plan to be in this home for a while (and are just preparing to move into it.)
In terms of room structure, the plan reflects the addition of three new windows. On the wall to the right of the range is a doorway to the laundry room.
We don't have a typical "enter through the kitchen" house as our garage is in the basement and the stairs don't lead into the kitchen. On that note, I want to avoid any "drop zones." If we need one, it will be out of the kitchen (mud space in basement or laundry room adjacent if DH needs an upstairs spot).
I'll attach a rough map of the parts of the house nearest the kitchen, to give you an idea of the flow. (Please ignore my chicken scratch measurement notes. We're making some changes so the wall numbers aren't right on there like they are on the kitchen plan. I was just too lazy to draw up a clean copy.)
Layout notes:
I'm planning to store everyday dishes in the hutch directly across from the dishwasher for easy unloading. DW is on the end so it's closest to where we will enter with dirty dishes.
Pots/pans will go in the units on each side of the range.
Sink is shown as a double with an offset sink but will not be set up that way. I've considered having the sink cabinet pulled out a smidge.
Baking zone is to the left of the fridge and will be pulled out to 30" deep. I'm planning to make the base cabinet to the left of fridge drawers instead of pullouts, even though I love the look of the doors. Obviously, there's a spacing issue going on with the open shelves, so I need to have that addressed.
Stools for my little helpers will be stored under the baking table.
Uppers have taken on extra depth as well (15" for the single cabinet and 18" for the hutch toppers).
Knobs and pulls were just randomly assigned by the designer who put the plan into the program. Same goes for the counters.
There is a pantry just inside the laundry room, and we will have about 6 feet of cabinetry/counter in there, as well, dedicated to "now & then" kitchen stuff.
Additional Issues to think on:
DH thinks we should combine the two windows on the left (large one and one on left of range) and have just one.
He also thinks I should flip flop the baking zone and hutch. I explained the functionality behind why I put them where they are, but he said, "It's only a few steps." He feels that the lowered baking table will just be a desk and so it should be near the breakfast room. I can't stand having desk space in my kitchen, so I'd like to avoid anything that would invite that. ;)
Thoughts on design, flow/functionality, the above issues, or others?
Wow - there is a lot I love about your kitchen, in the style, its balance and some details. In fact, I prefer the balance you have now of the two windows left of stove staying separate - how the stove is centered between to matching windows and how the picture window is centered over the sink.
I also like how with it being a long walls how its somewhat separated into the picture window sink and the pair of windows with stove. Hard to explain but just seems to make them somewhat defined areas.
Like the stove with windows at the side- dont see that every day and looks great. Cant tell if theyre stationary but if so, would consider double hung- Id have them open in spring / summer when cooking.
Your work triangle seems highly functional and love the cabinet across from it. That style where it looks like a hutch but specifically where the top half is indented back (and the touch of drawers at base of top half). Kudos on the location with the DW - my current townhouse DW is at end of a island, requires trips to get to cabinets.
The dining room seems way too far from kitchen, especially when to bring food to the dining room, you have to bring it thru the breakfast area, the library and the living room. I'd think you'd want it somewhat adjacent to the kitchen.
The library I wouldnt think to have right outside the breakfast nook / kitchen unless its a more of a TV room. Homes Ive known with library or study have them noticeably away from the activity of the kitchen, usually off from the living room (like where youve the dining area).
Also would want kitchen having another entry to the family room also without having to go thru breakfast / library.
No offense because I did the same thing but your rooms seem kind of box-y like how the kitchen is same width of breakfast and laundry. My architect adjusted my rooms to be more proportional (although I kept my crazy big master bath :D). I would enlarge kitchen by pushing fridge wall in towards living room which looks like it could spare i. A galley kitchen can be much more manageable for more than one person working in it with some extra space between both sides of it.
Have you considered how you will use all the space of the living room. You might find you dont need it quite so large and can expand certain adjacent rooms (like kitchen I mentioned). Or not but dont find out like me afterwards your not happy with area to manage furniture within.
Just some thoughts
Jaynes is right about the placement of the dining room. It should be flipped with the library. It doesn't matter how you use the house, though. That is, if you furnish it that way, and like it, fine. But while you're remodeling, do make sure that the library could be furnished as a functional dining room (that is, go easy on the built-in shelves and cabinets. I was going to get built-ins for my library, balked at the price, and had a friend who knew the shelving at Plummer's design the library perfectly from them. My longed for window seat is supposed to be a TV cabinet from the old days. Friend said, "If it'll hold a 300 lb. TV, it'll hold a couple of people!".) You said you'd be there for "awhile", not "forever", and even in a forever house, sometimes life changes fast and you have to sell unexpectedly.
The floorplan actually calls for a door into the kitchen from the family room, too, but that would limit your kitchen, and is a good trade-off.
The kitchen itself looks functional, but light on storage. There's a lot of dish hutch, and no pantry. Can you put some pantry storage in your laundry room?
Big burning question: How will groceries get into the house? Are you really going to bring all the perishables up the stairs with a toddler and an infant? Get delivery? Have full time help? Or is there a level parking spot outside of the garage? Perhaps you will have a high quality fridge/freezer in the garage just for stashing the groceries in while you get the kids? Even if there's a dumbwaiter, it's only useful if there's an adult on each end, and usually the one with the kids is the one doing the shopping. What happens when there's a big toddler and a little toddler? In five years, if you're done, they can both be helpers, but you need a strategy for now. Everyone I've known who had a basement garage and babies had live in help!
Then, at the top of the stairs, there's a bit of a maze to get to the kitchen. Speaking of which, have you considered putting in a passthrough window into the family room over the baking table? It can be under your eye level shelf. Through which you can keep an eye on the kids from the kitchen. And if it's openable, you can also set things out for viewing parties (I'm assuming that's where the TV is) and other kinds of gatherings. You could even give the baking table double duty as a bar for adult parties. I think it would help a lot. You have something shown there in the FR, but I think it would make the house function a lot better, and maybe that can move. Or you can do the swap with the hutch that your husband wants.
In general I agree with you about the baking area. If it's for baking you don't want junk piling up there. OTOH, you have no landing space for groceries either. You can just keep a basket to dump anything inappropriate that is on the baking counter in and move it to the proper landing area. Or hide it. :) Best strategy is to sweetly say, "Will you please put our stuff where it belongs so I can use the counter?" Taking credit for it takes away the sting, and they eventually learn, unless they're consciously intransigent.
I do agree with your husband about the windows. What you have drawn looks like you took down a wall in between the big window and the little window. Either make a series of little windows all the same size, or one big one and a little one on the far side of the range.
This is all picayune stuff. The kitchen looks like it'll function fine, and it's pretty.
Hi, gang! A bit behind on messages (here and on the related posts)...busy getting ready for the move.
Thank you for all of the feedback! It's so helpful to hear different perspectives.
First up, let me just say how MUCH I wish I could throw many of your ideas into action! (Sadly, there are some structural things I'm having to work around...notes on those to follow.)
A couple of quick notes that will catch several of the ideas you had at once:
Regarding the house: It's not new construction (rats!) but rather a 1980 "ranch" that looks like a story and a half from the street. I'll post some shots of that and the garage situation. So, I'm a bit stuck when it comes to major shapes/layout.
Regarding the remodel in general: Our budget is super small given what we had to pay in order to live close to DH's office. The kitchen is going to be a tight, tight squeeze. Pretty much, it's "do as much as I can in there and hold off on the rest." ie, live with the outdated bathrooms, need for a backyard clearing, older windows, etc. for a good while.
Regarding the wall to the living room: Yes, we'd love to open it. BUT, both structurally and financially, we can't. The fireplace is on that wall. Ideally, the kitchen would be much more open. That's why we're taking out as much of the breakfast room wall as possible.
Entertaining: Yes, we'd love more connection between the spaces. Sigh. I've been trying to work out somewhere to have a place to put out food for such events. I know I can fit one somewhere! Other than that, we only eat at the table. And, believe it or not, we don't have a tv. (I know, I know, we're so strange. haha!)
The dining room: You are right. It is a strange, strange place to put it. In real life, the library is the home's dining room. For a few years, we aren't going to use it that way. It's being setup as a library so the little ones have a place nearby to play/read/etc. (We'll be homeschooling, so that's a factor, too.) I've drawn up builtins to flank the window in there, but they are hutch style for when it reverts back to a DR. Why the sunroom for dining? Most nights, DH isn't home in time to see our little one before bed, let alone dinner. So, a huge % of our meals will happen in the breakfast room, just me and the littles. I'm investing in a cute butler's cart for the night's when we are blessed enough to sit around the table in the sunroom and eat, then hang out while we watch the kids play in the sandbox on the porch or in the yard. It's odd, but for the short term, it makes the most sense for us. We'll see in real life, right?? :)
Regarding the garage and groceries: Yup, it is what it is. Boo. When we were house shopping, the realtor had us make a wish list. Mine included the comment: "Driveunder garages are a deal breaker for me." Well, if I didn't ever eat my words. DH says it's "no big deal" and will work out great. As the baby lugger, I know it's going to be tough for a good number of years. But, something had to give in order to get into the area where we needed to be. And, the garage it was. As for the basement: YES, there will be a fridge (ours is nice but too deep for a galley kitchen) and hopefully a deep freeze, too. So, I won't have as much to haul upstairs. The plan is that only the "use it soon" stuff will head on upstairs. There's also a huge unfinished room where I could put extra cans and whatnot to rotate into the upstairs pantry, if need be, though I don't think it'll end up that way. We use very little packaged food.
Pantry: Yes, there is an existing pantry in the laundry room. It's not huge, but based on our food usage, it should do nicely for our dry goods. Most of my dry goods are kept in glass jars (beans, rice, flours, oats, bran), which I also have slotted some open shelving for in both kitchen and laundry. I need to double count my jars when we unpack and make sure I've calculated enough linear feet for them. I like them out in a single row instead of on deep shelves. Cans? We tend to have ten or less around the house at a time, unless there is some crazy sale on something I think might be convenient.
Ok, I think that covers the things that were mentioned in both posts. Now on to the other stuff....
Pllog- Thank you for the feedback! I like the way you phrased the junk response and will be trying that (as I sit here and look at the pile of junk on the raised bar of our rental. haha!) Grocery landing space. Hm. I'll have to think on that. The table would be a tight place. And, there's not much space to the left of the sink. Perhaps it would be wise to store my butler's cart nearish to my point of entry from the stairs so I can dump and roll. Windows: It sounds like we need to try drawing it up several ways and see what looks right. The initial goal was to have balancing windows on each side of the range. But, if it's going to look like a mistake, that wouldn't really make sense. :) As for hired help: YES, PLEASE!!! Ah, wouldn't THAT be something!! I'm already stressing over how I'll find time to clean this place. We're going from 1700 sqft to 2800, as well as gaining a basement. I'm a bit worried since I'm also adding a baby at the same time. I've already warned DH that I'll be grocery shopping nights/weekends while he keeps the little ones so it will be more efficient. Luckily, he's excited about that. HA! We'll see how it goes... How long will we be here? That IS the question. DH has trouble "committing" mentally but also isn't one to uproot. So, odds are *really* good that the kids will finish school here, but one never really knows. So, I dare not say "forever" lest I jinx us. :) Will check out Plummers...hadn't heard of them. Thanks!
Jaynes- Thank you for all of your notes! Another entry for the kitchen would be grand. Alas....fireplace. I'd love to have a big open kitchen. Maybe someday. :) Boxy- Agreed! The original owners (only owners, now in their 90's) had it built. He was a builder, actually. I guess it suited them. But, I like a bit more in and out to my rooms. I guess things were different in 1980. I do wonder the same thing as you about the living room. It seems so large. I've been struggling with how to furnish it correctly so that it doesn't feel cavernous...while still not blocking the passageway to the sunroom. Will post a photo to give you an idea of what's happening on that wall the prevents bumping the kitchen into this space...
Here are some pictures to help with thinking through the grocery conundrum.
Front: could park at base of walkway, but it's still a hike up the hill....would end up having to either tote kids up first and put them upstairs or leave them waiting while I pile everything on the porch (which isn't really an option, honestly).
Current plan: have playroom and fridge in basement. Kids go in first, then groceries. Any moms out there who can help me come up with a plan that will work??
Kind of hard to see, but drive is on the right...
Rear: There's a door inside the 2 car garage which puts you in the mudroom. The stairs sit between the mudroom and play room.
Living Room fireplace wall that backs up to kitchen/laundry:
Temporary Library (originally the dining room, a bit tight for how we plan to use our dining room at the moment which is to say that it will be mostly for larger gatherings):
Pantry is just to the left, through the doorway shown:
I'll see if I can find the drawings for the library/dining built ins. You all likely have some great suggestions for keeping them multipurpose.
I think you will have a really nice kitchen.
I would match all the windows on the sink wall as closely as possible. I would leave the three in the bay as is, put three in front of the sink, and then one to right of the stove, 7 windows.
I love your outside. It's rare to have so much mature landscaping. Your house is a keeper.
If it's any consolation, I've packed our groceries 50 feet across the back yard from our detached garage for over 17 years. It hasn't killed me yet. Your kids will be too young to help for such a short time. I don't think packing your groceries is worth fretting about.
junco- Good idea. I'm headed to the house tomorrow to meet with an electrician, so I'll take time to check that out. I have a feeling it will fall right where the washer/dryer hookups are, but that's not to say they can't be moved (it would just be at the expense of my folding counter and laundry basket storage).
rmtdoug- Thanks for the window suggestion. I'm going to attempt to mock that up and see if it works better for DH. He had mentioned doing a big divided set. I don't recall what the designer set for the dimensions of the ones she plugged in. But, we're slated to go look at windows soon. Most of the ones I see online that are "big" windows are really sets of smaller windows. And, thank you, too, for the Momma advice. Having a garage is an upgrade for us. I packed the groceries through the rainy yard with baby in tow at our last house. ;)
Sounds like you cook from scratch a lot, so I wouldnt ditch the 36 for 30 unless you have to. I just went from 30 to 39 and it is so much easier to fit my large pots and pans. As for how to unpack with kids. Before mine could unclip themselves, I just left them locked in their carseats. They would frequently be asleep from the drive, and it kept them safe and out of trouble while unloading. It looks like you have a pretty private drive so that might be an option, or can you pull into garage and close door while unloading if you are concerned about someone stealing car while unattended? (Sorry, but something to think about unfortunately.) lovely house! Congratulations!
hollysprings- Thanks for the suggestions! Waiting is definitely a consideration over here. I keep telling DH that I can keep it for awhile if we can just open the breakfast room wall and take down some of those heavy uppers. We just lived through a 2 year kitchen remodel though, so he's anxious to get it over with. In a perfect world, we'd do it before we even moved in. But, the baby isn't going to wait for a kitchen remodel. Ha! (32 weeks tomorrow) We went back and forth on the range, but I ultimately decided that I'd rather have the functionality of the bigger range over bells and whistles in other places. We're going more basic on all of the other appliances. And, much to DH's horror, I don't want SS. ;) But, yes to the waiting. I keep showing him pictures of little things I could do to make it brighter as we wait. (One of the main reasons for the push is because we would have the kitchen floor laid at the same time as the rest of the rooms which are converting from carpet to wood, making the whole house consistent.)
OOTM_M- Thank you for the input! Space on the range top is a concern for me. It often feels like I spend the majority of my day (ok, so maybe I do) cooking. If only lovely white ranges weren't so hard to find in a 36! I'd love the triple oven Aga Legacy but.....I can get something else for less. And so it goes. I do think we have room to close the door with the car inside, though I haven't tried it yet. I've made a practice of not leaving him in the car without me though. It gets pretty toasty in ATL and we don't have rear vents (now that's been fun!) But, it IS doable certain times of year! I sure hope car stealing wouldn't be an issue...but, I'm pretty new to the area, too. :)
You definitely have your priorities in the right place, especially the waiting. Remodeling on a deadline to move and deliver a baby does not sound good.
Since you're knocking together the breakfast area and dining room to make the library, I suggest that you put a nice library table in there that can double for family dining. Put a small table, like game sized (with leaves available) in the sunroom for sunny family dinners. For entertaining lots of family (I have dozens), design your living room so that furniture can be moved easily, and get banquet tables, and even easier if you rent (I get tables, chairs and table cloths, and considering I don't have to clean or store them, the price is surprisingly reasonable). If that doesn't work for you, the newer, plastic banquet tables are light enough to bring up from the basement. Some of the excess furniture might go in the sunroom. If you're having a buffet, you can put it out on a table in the library (even if you don't usually keep a table there).
So, no football games? You're lucky! I don't mind them so much, but the arguments over what channel might have another game and shifting through the numbers, when there's a whole roomful of people who would like to converse is something that makes me nuts. :) I thought the fireplace on your plan was an entertainment center. :) I do get why you can't break through the bookshelves to put in a passthrough. :) Your library setup will work well for minding the kids when they're small. Near term, you might want to make the breakfast area a playspace, and put the table in the library.
Knowing you have all that storage space in the basement relieves me. It's the best option. Put anything frozen in the basement freezer,
My house is up a flight of stairs from the garage, out front, but it's broken into three parts, with path in between. And no little kids. The previous owner's wife insisted on moving because of the kids. I have a freezer in the garage since my remodel, and it makes things so much easier, to stash the frozen and take other stuff up, leaving paper, cleaning and staples in the car for later. Since you also have a fridge, you can stash the heavy and delicate things, like milk and eggs, and things you just don't need right away. Agreed with OOTM that the safest place for the babies while you do the stashing is in their car seats if you're right there.
Being able to stash the groceries and keep an eye on the kids is sufficient. Getting the groceries upstairs can mostly wait until there's a spare adult. :) But I had this vision. A pulley system with hooks, high enough, or to the side enough, not to hit heads, but low/close enough to reach. Then you could hang grocery totes on the hooks and pull them up the stairs. :) Hillbilly dumbwaiter?
Yes, yes, yes to the cart at the top of the stairs!
Re ranges, I wouldn't skimp there!! The difference between meh cooking equipment and good (or big enough) is SO huge! Who cares about the floor matching? Vinyl is very functional. Spend it on the range!
Re pantry, it sounds like you have that well thought through. Just be sure to keep your jars high. I use polycarbonate because I drop them! The layout makes more sense now that I know that some of that display space is for your pantry jars. :) That'll look really pretty too.
Seeing the pictures, I think your best bet for the windows would actually be a series of double hung windows like the others around the house, unless you were planning to change them too.
It's a lovely house.

To tighten them up, you can use a small allen wrench in the end of the ball on the blade grips, and you probably have to hold the other side with a plier. |

I would like to add that the "front" ball (i.e. the one closest to you when looking at the tail from the side) is the part with the stud. It threads into the "rear ball". Also, there is one spacer/shim per tail blade. It goes on the side of the T/R blade closest to you if you pull the blade out of the grip and it falls off. Be absolutely SURE to use thread locking compound when you put it back together because the rear "nut" has no lock nut insert of any type. I thought these balls were strange looking as I'd never seen them on the tail of any heli before. Turns out they're some kind of weight that's supposed to make the tail blades track smoother and take some load off the T/R servo. Don't know if that's true, but I recently read that somewhere. |

Good for a Beginner? You tell me.
Well, I had absolutely no intention of buying a helicopter. Didn't know a fly bar from a wet bar. Spending all my free time (what little there is), flying slope or flying my FPV rig. That said, that pesky extra 'Model Type' setting on my 9303 kept calling out to me. So after reading this article, I bought the Blade 450 yesterday. My only prior experience was some 'around the house' fun with a small coaxial heli. Since I have a good computer radio and plenty of 2200mah batteries (even 30C rated), the price on this seemed right.
Read a ton of information on the rchelicopterfun.com site including the flight school pages and videos. Took a long time reading through the JR Heli manual and plugging in all the settings recommended by Horizon using the DX8 addendum. Note that a couple of the cyclic servos were reversed and the receiver was silent while binding (no beeping or blinking like I'm familiar with in Spektrum plane receivers/ESCs). Once bound, it beeps and blinks normally. Slapped on the training gear and finally did my first spool up late afternoon. Wow. This is an exciting hobby. I started slow with spooling up and checking the blade path. Then dragging around the ground. I was on asphalt (no ice or snow in sunny southern California) and it was unnerving when the training gear caught on pebbles. Then as the sun was setting I was lifting off about 2 feet and working on hovering exercises. Did not progress to figure 8's, but maybe later today. All that while the tail was oscillating like mad. Couldn't figure out what was wrong but it wasn't so bad that I couldn't fly. A little research after sundown last night showed that the receiver on this heli uses the Gear channel for the gyro and the 9303 uses Aux 2 so I guess my gyro settings were all screwed up. The quick fix is to reduce travel on Gear to 56 (per manual for gyro setting on normal), but then I can't switch to 54.5 when I eventually go into Stunt 1 or 2. When I get to that point, I guess I'll monkey around with a mix. So...learned a lot about helis (theory, mechanics, parts, etc.). Got some skulling around on the ground and 2 feet in the air under my belt. Dreamt about flying that thing all night and am kicking myself for not throwing it in the trunk of my car for a quick lunchtime get away. Kind of feels like I'm stepping out on my fixed wings. Not sure if it's a good heli for all beginners, but I think it was for this one. Of course, if you have any tips for me, I'm all ears. Thanks. |

Keep working on those hovering excercises, it will pay off! Once you're comfortable hovering with the nose pointed in any direction, forward flight will be easy. Keep us updated on your progress! |

CSpaced, how warm/hot does your motor and battery get after a flight? I have my timer set for 6 minutes (might back it down to 5) and the motor gets quite warm. Not hot to the touch, but *almost* hot. My batteries (Hyperion 2200mAh 35C) are noticeably warm, but far from being hot. Just wondering as the "heli guy" at my local LHS says his motor is barely warm after a flight and he pushes his helis pretty hard.

My LHS recommended the Hyperion 2200mAh 35C, as that's what they use. I did see somewhere else where someone recommended 40C or higher batteries. How long do you (if you do) let it sit between flights for the motor to cool down? |
Sep 26, 2011, 05:19 PM | ||
The 40C batteries will give you a bit more "pop" on the collective, in other words just a little more burst of power when you call for it. You'll notice that the motor won't sag quite as easily from a 35c to a 40c pack. I never really conciously "let" the motor cool down, sometimes I will do two flights back to back and its fine. However I won't charge or fly a battery pack until it's cooled completely. |

CSpaced, do you have much experience outside of the B450 3D with the E-flite 420 motor? I've never really seen anything good or bad on it, but I know it was also used in the Blade 400 and Blade 400 3D. I'm just wondering about how long I can get out of it before it needs replacing. Sorry for so many questions, but this is my first foray into the "big" E-flite/Blade helis. My other two are the mSR and mCP X.

Viennetta is an ice cream product made in Unilever factories and sold under the various Heartbrand logos around the world. It was launched first by Wall's in 1982 using a technique devised by Kevin Hillman, development manager at Wall's Gloucester factory. Viennetta comes in many flavours, including chocolate, mint and pineapple.
The original Viennetta was a multi-layered product comprising layers of vanilla ice cream with sprayed-on layers of compound chocolate. The layers of ice cream were extruded, one after another, onto trays sitting on a moving belt. The rate of extrusion was greater than the speed of the belt which caused a deliberate 'bunching' of the ice cream; each layer was extruded at a different speed to the previous layer. The final effect was akin to a series of waves rippling through the product. This visual aspect combined with the in-the-mouth contrast of the smooth ice cream covered in crisp compound chocolate to give the product an instant appeal.
Allegedly, this effect was originally unintended by Kevin's team. However, it was swiftly recognised as a winner and the product was launched with the 'bunching'.
Launched originally as a multi-portion dessert product, it has been so successful after being launched throughout KFC's and Pizza Huts that Unilever, owners of Wall's, has produced many flavour and size variants, turning Viennetta into a worldwide multi million pound brand. Viennetta is sparsely available in the United States. However, Unilever no longer produces the brand in Canada. It is sold in Australia under the Streets brand.[1]
The Viennetta was previously known as Comtessa in Spain due to a legal problem. It became Viennetta in the 1990s.[2]

They both let in the same amount of light. The difference is that the 16-35 let's you go all the way out to f/2.8. If you're shooting landscapes (an ideal situation for the 17-40), you're rarely going to want that kind of DOF.

The case of Italy is a particularly instructive one. Mario Monti, supported by an overwhelming majority in the Italian parliament, is carrying out those economic and financial reforms in Italy which it is now widely recognized earlier Italian governments culpably failed to implement. Without such reforms, the Italian economy could not possibly prosper, inside or outside the eurozone. I find it ironic that many of those commentators who are loudest in calling for wholesale reform of the traditional European economic model give such a grudging welcome to this reform when it arises from the workings of the eurozone.
Germany's role in confronting the sovereign debt crisis of the eurozone over the past two years has attracted considerable criticism, much of it unfair. Accusations of German dictatorship and inflexibility are well wide of the mark. If there is a criticism to be made of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, it is that she has often seemed to lack a strategic vision for the governance of the eurozone. But maybe she has one that for political reasons she may be slow to articulate.
The German position has greatly evolved over the past 18 months in regard to the nature, extent, and duration of financial assistance to be offered to eurozone members actually or potentially in difficulty. Nor is there any reason to believe that this evolution has yet come to an end. In common with her predecessors in the German chancellery, Ms. Merkel firmly believes that Germany's economic and political future lies within the European Union, of which the euro is such a central expression.

It is not ideal since the small opening is not wide enough for quick pick up, therefore you have to spend much longer using it. After 2 years, the battery gave out on me and I only used it 2x a month.

Hi there,
unfortunately I've got many problems starting and playing TWD on Windows 7. I'll just add the points, that are driving me crazy. Hopefully you can get me some help.
To make it in the first case clear: I'm trying to play the game on two different systems (Notebook with Geforce GT540M & Desktop with AMD HD6870), the issuses are pretty the same on both systems:
[*]The game is hanging during the system start, after the "click to continue" screen. It takes to 2 minutes til the main menu appears. Opening the Taskmanager helps to speed it up a bit.
[*]I cannot change the graphic settings ingame. When I want to change the settings, there is no way doing that in the game menu. I cant switch the buttons, also apply and cancel does not react. So there is only ALT+F4 for quitting :/
[*]Sometimes the performance is horribly bad. On both systems at the same settings. For example in EP1, when Lee is walking over the street to his brother (whom is burried under that wooden pole)
[*]The download option is pretty bad. Why is there no option like in the other games, for one client per episode? This is not good to handle, if I have to switch ingame, to start loading a new episde...
I hope you can help me, thanks!

How do we divide the 6 rolls into 8 servings?
These were really good! I used Jalapeno cream cheese and thin cheddar slices instead of plain cream cheese and shredded cheddar and it worked perfectly :)

Commonweal started with a vision. In 1975, Michael Lerner was walking at the edge of the small coastal town of Bolinas just north of San Francisco. He looked out across grasslands and woods at an old RCA radio transmitter facility on a bluff overlooking the ocean. He imagined that this site could be a center for work in healing people and healing the earth.
Michael joined with two friends, child care worker Carolyn Brown and conservationist Burr Heneman, to create Commonweal. After negotiations with RCA and Trust for Public Lands, Commonweal was given a 50-year lease on 60 acres as the site became the southern end of the Point Reyes National Seashore. Commonweal's site includes a main office building, our Retreat Center, and a permaculture garden.
Today, Commonweal works in three core fields—health and healing, art and education, and environment and justice. Within those fields, Commonweal incubates and supports a dozen different programs including programs in cancer, health professional education, environmental health, adult learning, yoga, healing nutrition, permaculture gardening, and juvenile justice.
Our Location
Commonweal is located on a beautiful 60-acre site at the edge of the Pacific Ocean in the Point Reyes National Seashore. We have many photographs of our historic buildings and the natural beauty surrounding them.

burton fix vs. libtech skate banana
basically, i need to know out of these 2 boards which one would be better for me.
or, which one is better in general. im a park rat, i spend all day on rails and jumps. idk which board is better. skate banana is a little stiffer than id like, but fix is can also get wobbly at high speeds, so i hear. the best thing would be an opinion from somebody who has ridden both boards. thanks alot, alex |

Rome Artifact 1985 is what you're after. Skate Banana is just a marketing gimmick, nothing special. And Burtons RC boards just aren't that great either. Buy a board for the ride, not for the brand name on it

Well just so you know where I'm at, I was riding a dom that was really soft. I could throw 3s and 5s both ways pretty consistantly on it too. Idk I thought I wanted something soft because that's what I'm used too. I'm not trying to limit myself, if a stiffer board will let me progress, I'm open to it.

just kidding.
The best "signature" when doing something like that would be none, that'd be mine. Boring, but smart. lol such odd threads here --;
If you were a serial killer what would be your signature? I would spork out peoples eyeballs and repace them with cheerios' or carrots..and do something to their belly buttons..
A deathless heart alive with greif
Smiles when it hears of thee
Whisper now my secret love
Kiss my lips and rise above
If I were a serial killer the only signature i could leave would be smeared blood or a little graffitti because the body would be thrown into a tub of sulfuric acid then I'd empty the tub and scrape out the rezadue..it just hit me I would send the rezadue to the family members or some sick shit like that. Why would you ask such a question anyway?
This pain is sratching at my bone.
And this Loneliness won't leave me alone.
Grumble Grumble Grumble
And if I was a serial killer, I'd leave a trail of soggy corn flakes from every crime scene...

Sorry about bumping the ancients, but...
-I had to show you this kewl panda face. -No. 'Toad's reservoir has been a problem for a while now. The setup made it impossible to clean, and it was frequently springing leaks. -I've been playing around with using stainless steel tube for a while, and recently cranked out a prototype that I palmed off on Bill Owen from MNPCTech. We have discussed doing a run using one- piece end caps. Make some noise if you are interested. -Here I have freshly cut end caps in a cut-off of the tube. It took me a while to find some suitable scraps for the green. I added a third port on this one for a fill line. -My version has 2 part caps. I need to glue these little rings on the inside to hold the O-rings. -I picked up some clearance G3/8 barbs to see if I could make a large port version. -Looks doable to me. -I fixed up a ghetto tailstock for sanding the tube body. Yeah, That's a skateboard wheel. -I made a horrible mess trying to get the tube polished up. I had to stop because the bit of felt and polishing compound I used turned into a silver rock. -In keeping with tradition, I made the brackets out of an old, (friggen hard,) chunk of industrial polycarbonate a friend had given me. - Ignore the countersink failure. Here They are tapped out and ready to mount. -Before I could mount a new res, there was a lot of gore... and cleaning. -The insides of the old res. have some nasty ball of plasticizer, faux bauxite, and bacteria. -Ewww! Who sneezed? -OK, I fixed that. -Wait, Something's not right... -Mounting up a new res. A handy feature of this setup is that I can fill with the lid off even when the pump is running. The version I drew up for production has a center fillport in an indent to help prevent spillage. -Capped up. The last bit of thick material I had wasn't very transparent. -Here she is 'finished' again. I need to find more junk to make a cap for the fill line, and there's still some work to do on the old pump top. I ripped the old barbs out thinking I could drop it in the mill real quick and update to bitspower barbs. ...Then I remembered this is what powers the mill.

HEEEEEEEEE"S BAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAcK!
Do not let anything good in life pass you by. Cherish it with all of your heart, because before you know it even life will have passed you by. And if you let all those things pass you by? The only thing filling your heart will be deep sadness and regret. So whatever you do, hold on, and never let go. |

Lowest Recommended Age: | Kindergarten - 3rd Grade |
Profanity: | None |
Nudity/Sex: | Reference to Adam's having to sleep outside. At the end, when the fathers arrive, they hear Milly's baby cry. In order to make sure that their fathers allow them to marry the Pontabee brothers, the girls all say the baby is "mine!" |
Alcohol/Drugs: | None |
Violence/Scariness: | A fistfight |
Diversity Issues: | The movie deals with the role of women (in a musical comedy context). Milly wants to be seen as a partner who has opinions and value, not a servant without wages. The girls want to be asked, not kidnapped. |
Movie Release Date: | 1954 |
Plot: Handsome backwoodsman Adam Pontabee (Howard Keel) strides into town, singing "Bless Your Beautiful Hide" to his future wife "whoever she may be." He has given himself one day to find a wife to take back to his ranch. He meets Milly (Jane Powell), a spirited waitress, proposes, and she accepts. He neglects to tell her that back at the ranch are his six brothers, and that he is bringing her back to cook and clean for all of them.
She is hurt, feeling that he wanted a housekeeper more than a wife, and she is horrified when she meets the brothers, who are boorish slobs. The next morning, she informs the brothers that they must learn to behave. They come to love her for her courage and values, and begin to long for wives of their own. She brings them to a barn raising, where they each fall in love. Back at the ranch, they long for their girls. Adam tells them they should go into town and steal them, just as in the story of the "Sobbin' Women" (the ancient Roman tale of the Sabine women). They do, but the women are furious, and won't have anything to do with them, even though they are snowed in at the ranch until the spring thaw. Milly is so angry with Adam for telling the brothers to kidnap the girls that he leaves to spend the rest of the winter in a hunting cabin, not knowing that Milly is pregnant. The girls soften toward the brothers, and by spring, are ready to marry them, in one big ceremony. And Adam returns, realizing how much Milly means to him.
Discussion: This movie includes some of the most thrillingly energetic dances ever put on film, including the classic barn-raising number (which unfortunately suffers on the small screen). Based on a short story by Stephen Vincent Benet, it is almost an icon of America as it saw itself in the 1950s — brash, energetic, adventuresome, and cocky. Some critics have complained that the movie all but promotes rape, but that is unfair. Even though the girls are very attracted to the brothers, they are very angry at being kidnapped, and the brothers are banished to the barn. They must earn their way back into the girls' affections by treating them with courtesy and respect, and ultimately it is very much the girls' own decision to stay and marry them. With the help of youngest brother Gideon, Milly teaches Adam that even though she accepted his proposal quickly, she is still worth earning.

Cameron County jury finds man guilty of sexual abuse of a minor
POSTED: Friday, September 27, 2013 - 4:17pm
UPDATED: Monday, September 30, 2013 - 6:46am
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS (KVEO NEWSCENTER 23) — It took jurors less than two hours to render a guilty verdict Friday against Francisco Matamoros, 43, on continuous sexual
abuse of a child.
The Cameron County District Attorney's Office was successful in utilizing Jessica's Law that was enacted in 2007. The
Law, named after Jessica Lunsford, a young Florida girl who was sexually battered and murdered in 2005,
allows for some of the nation's harshest punishments for individuals committing continuous sexual abuse of a
Matamoros, a Harlingen resident, was found guilty of one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child and two counts of
sexual assault of a child .The victim, now 16, stated that the abuse began when she was in the fourth grade.
Assistant District Attorneys Stephanie Rollins and Brandy Bailey prosecuted the case in the 357th state District Court.
Rollins and Bailey comprise the newly-created Child Abuse Unit. Both credit the guilty verdict to the jury.
"The verdict demonstrates that Cameron County takes a firm stance against child abuse," Bailey said. "It is very difficult
for a child to have an outcry and then proceed with potentially testifying against a family member. The jury understood
this and took all the testimony and evidence seriously on the child's behalf."
Matamoros could face a life sentence. Minimum sentence for Jessica's Law is 25 years with no opportunity for parole or
early release.
Sentencing is scheduled for Monday.
Comments News Comments
All I have to say if the men of Cameron County do not get educated on the Jessica's Law and do not stop the support of this Law everyone of you will suffer a fate like this man's under Brandy Bailey and Stephanie Rollins. These 2 will do anything to get a win, lie, threaten and intimidate a young witness just to get a conviction whether there is proof or not. Guy's before you start throwing all men to the death penalty learn something about the cases and you will wonder about justice!

Lessons from the playoffs for Texan fans
Watching the playoffs makes me think a few thoughts about our Texans and their future. Most of these observations are probably "no duh" ones, but I'm just trying to start a conversation. Defense Wins Championships? There's an old axiom that defense wins championships, and it is hard to dispute that. The thought is that all […]
