She gets anxious to do it, because its so few chances.. and its not really what she is working on. Ana needed to be working to death on the flat FH, her best shot at a real big weapon.
Against scrubs, she gets all the time in the world.. so she looks aggressive.. like that FH winner feast against Arvidsson. But I have said that Ana was striking her FH a bit better, more aggressively and flatter at the USO.. comparing to the passiveness of most of the tournaments this year, which made me hope they are finally seeing she needs her flat FH.
Missing an easy putaway is missing an easy putaway, you shouldn't miss it against anyone. If you're missing it against top players and not against scrubs, then it's all in your head. She was inpatient, wanted to finish it as soon as possible, so she was overhitting or making poor shot selection. That's how I saw it.

I don't think he wants her to play like that for the rest of her career.

I watched her against Dulko, Perry and I watched her in FC (live, unfortunately), so I have a slight idea what could've happened in that match.
I'm tempted to post all Ana's serve stats (including serve speed stats from slams) from the last 4 years. And to back them up with available match videos from YT. But it would be a useless effort, because you will find a way to dismiss all my arguments (
), so I should probably save my effort and researching skills for the paper I'm writing atm.
Those stats and videos are on the Internet anyway and everybody can see it in case someone forgot what her toss looked like and how many dfs she used to hit.

What are they tinkering? I don't see it. It's not like she cut off some pace to get a higher 1st serve percentage. Her 1st serve percentage was horrible. What can be the reason for that? The lack of practice is the only thing I can think of. Vacations in the middle of season can explain the lack of practice and they can be a reason for injuries (that make you unable to practice as well).

Enjoy the sheer exhilaration of powering across the water to your fishing destination, aboard one of Coromandel's most powerful charter boats. When you've worked up an appetite, dine aboard on exquisite food prepared in the galley.
It's your day out so why compromise with any old out of date, slow charter boat or an undersized boat where you are crammed in shoulder to shoulder which could be embarrassing if its a corporate day out or you are entertaining clients.
We place huge importance in making our crew feel at home. A good day on our boat is about more than just catching fish, it's about feeling that you are part of the crew, not just a fare paying passenger. We have groups of all ability and experience charter the boat and whilst we are happy if people are able to take care of their own tangles and set up their own rods, we never mind helping our crew out. We love fishing and when we charter the boat out for the day we will fish using the same techniques as we would fish if we were going to sea alone.
So if you are thinking to charter a boat... You have found the best charter boat out in Coromandel. With around 400km of coastline and over 100 offshore islands, The Coromandel is one of New Zealand's favourite marine playgrounds. Of course, we can't guarantee the size of your catch but we do promise a great day and a very warm welcome. Please contact us for more details.

ReneSola Signs 29 MW Solar Module Sales Agreement With Saferay
JIASHAN, China, Aug. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ReneSola Ltd ("ReneSola") (NYSE: SOL), a leading brand and technology provider of solar photovoltaic ("PV") products, today announced it will provide 29.1 megawatts ("MW") of its high-quality multicrystalline solar modules to Saferay Pte ("saferay"), a large-scale PV power plant installer from Singapore.(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080506/CNTU030 )
Under the terms of the agreement, ReneSola will deliver to saferay 7.5 MW of solar modules this month and an additional 21.5 MW of solar modules in January 2014 for use in La Huayca II, an unsubsidized 29.1 MW solar power plant with no power purchase agreement ("PPA") or feed-in-tariff ("FIT") support in the Atacama region of Chile. The project will expand the 1.4 MW La Huayca I plant completed last year to 30.5 MW.
Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola's chief executive officer, said, "We're pleased to sign another contract with saferay, for whom we provided modules last year for use in several PV power plants in Germany. We pride ourselves on our ability to win repeat business, which illustrates the high quality of our solar modules and our superb customer service. We are also thrilled to supply modules to the Chilean market, one of the few markets that allow PV companies to sell electricity to the local grid at profitable market prices. We will continue to invest in the region to grow our South American business and support the country's growing renewable energy sector."
Dr. Thomas Gnefkow, saferay's managing director, commented, "Our previous experience using ReneSola's modules has led us to order additional modules from the company for use in La Huayca II, which will be the first merchant provider of solar electricity to join Chile's Northern Interconnected Electricity grid. The power plant, which is the first utility-scale PV plant worldwide with no PPA, government subsidies or FIT support, will sell electricity into the spot market just as conventional power plants do. ReneSola's timely delivery, competitive pricing and efficient modules will be key to maintaining our cost position. We look forward to working with the company and hope to continue our relationship as we expand our global network of large-scale PV power plants." About ReneSola Founded in 2005, ReneSola (NYSE:SOL) is a leading brand and technology provider of solar PV products. Leveraging its proprietary technologies, economies of scale and technical expertise, ReneSola uses in-house virgin polysilicon and a vertically integrated business model to provide customers with high-quality, cost-competitive products.

Published: Tuesday February 11, 2014 MYT 12:00:00 AM Updated: Tuesday February 11, 2014 MYT 7:18:44 AM
Eat, drink, man, women: 'The Grandmaster', which stars Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Zhang Ziyi, received the most nominations at the upcoming Hong Kong Film Awards.
The Grandmaster leads with 14 nominations, followed by Unbeatable and Rigor Mortis.
THE Hong Kong Film Awards will be a three-way fight among dapper pugilistic masters, buff mixed martial arts fighters and zombies.
In nominations announced on Wednesday, Wong Kar Wai's lush actioner The Grandmaster led with 14 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director for Wong, Best Actor for Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Best Actress for Zhang Ziyi and Best Supporting Actor for Zhang Jin, said Ming Pao Daily News.
Dante Lam's gritty boxing drama Unbeatable followed with 11 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director for Lam and Best Actor for Nick Cheung. Close behind, Juno Mak's unexpected horror hit Rigor Mortis had nine nominations, but none for Best Film. However, Mak, a singer turned writer and director, was named for Best New Director.
Besides The Grandmaster and Unbeatable, the Best Film nominees were Journey To The West: Conquering The Demons, Stephen Chow's epic return to his 1994 cult classic A Chinese Odyssey; The White Storm, Benny Chan's thriller about an anti-narcotics operation; and The Way We Dance, a little movie about street dance.
The Best Director nominees included Johnnie To for Drug War, a Hong Kong-China crime drama starring Louis Koo and Sun Honglei, and Derek Kwok for As The Light Goes Out, a firefighting drama starring Hu Jun and Nicholas Tse.
It has been a big year for action and, once again, Ip Man movies. Ip Man, the film starring Donnie Yen in the title role, had dominated the box office and the 2009 Hong Kong Film Awards.
This year, there are two actors playing Ip, Bruce Lee's teacher, in the Best Actor category: Leung in The Grandmaster and Anthony Wong in Ip Man - The Final Fight. They will fight for the prize with Cheung for Unbeatable, and Louis Koo and Lau Ching Wan for The White Storm.
Besides Zhang, the Best Actress nominees are Tang Wei for Finding Mr Right, Cherry Ngan for The Way We Dance, Sammi Cheng for The Blind Detective and Paw Hee Ching for Rigor Mortis.
The awards will be handed out on April 14. – The Straits Times, Singapore/Asia News Network

Why you so mad about Warmack? Who's your guy?
I'm not mad about Warmack. I don't support the senseless notion of using a first round pick on the offensive line equivalent of a Fullback, especially one that isn't suited to the way this team should be built, and ESPECIALLY when there are talented viable prospects at crucial positions of need.
And its way too early to have picked a horse in this race.

The 3rd Annual NEWBERRY EVENT
Music & Arts Festival to Defeat MS
July 24, 25 & 26th, 2015
In 2013, Doug and Gloria Watt started with a goal: To help give exposure to our local musicians, artisans, and crafters, and at the same time, raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis.
With the help of big names like Terry Robb, Lino Alessio, and Folk Rock Legends Brewer & Shipley (The "One Toke Over the Line" boys), they put on one of the biggest events South Central Oregon (Newberry Country) has ever seen!
This year, we were thrilled to have performances by Craig Chaquico (formerly of Jefferson Starship & Starship). "America's Favorite Cowboys" Riders in the Sky, Pigs on the Wing, Rose's Pawn Shop, Vagabond Opera, Louis Landon, and the return of Brewer and Shipley! Other returning artists are Melody Guy, Voice of Reason, & local bands Voodoo Highway, Wampus Cat, The Rum and the Sea. New bands are Patrimony, Cheyenne West & more. Three fun filled days were more than music. Local artisans and crafters offered some of the best all-natural handcrafted goods. We enjoyed great food vendors, & Sunriver Brewing micro-brews. Crater Lake Spirits distillery was hosting a 2nd stage! Fine wines were also served. The beautiful setting has open meadows and shady forest. Camping sites were complimentary with ticket.
This fundraiser event is for Oregon's Multiple Sclerosis Society. Many of us have friends afflicted with this debilitating disease. If you can't attend, we would very much appreciate a kind tax-deductible donation of
amount, through the website or checks to "Newberry Event". But you really don't want to miss this GREAT TIME for a GOOD CAUSE!
The Newberry Event is proud to be a
"Do it Yourself" MS Fundraiser!
MS stops people from moving. We exist to make sure it doesn't. The National MS Society addresses the challenges of each person affected by MS by funding cutting edge research, driving change through advocacy, facilitating professional education, collaborating with MS organizations around the world, and providing programs and services designed to help people with MS and their families move their lives forward. We are people who want to do something about MS NOW, and are dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. Join the movement at nationalMSsociety.org.
Early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can make a difference for people with multiple sclerosis. Learn about your options by talking to your health care professional and contacting the National MS Society at:

GOP govs stand by absent Christie
"I think he can be, has been an effective leader of RGA," Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says.
News, Analysis and Opinion from POLITICO
"I think he can be, has been an effective leader of RGA," Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says.
After a meeting with Barack Obama on bipartisanship, both sides begin to fight again.
"He anticipates an answer one way or the other in a couple months," Gov. Mary Fallin says.
He says the Republican Party must focus on changing its image.
Bobby Jindal, Martin O'Malley, George W. Bush and Kelly Ayotte make apperances.
He will speak on several hot-button social conservative issues at Reagan's presidential library.
Opinion: The verdict is in on the president's health care law, and it's not good.
The key to swaying the hearts of conservative lawmakers: Stories of suffering children.
Candidates say they'll wait, but their allies are already building the foundations for campaigns.
On CNN's 'State of the Union', Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal voiced his support Sunday for embattled fellow Republican Gov. Chris Christie, saying...
He says the approval of the pipeline should be a "no-brainer" for the president.
"I don't think he should step down," says Jindal.
LSU won 21-14, so Branstad will donate 100 pounds of Iowa pork to a food bank in each state.
The Louisiana senator says his governor is already laying the groundwork for 2016.
He says, "The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with."
A Yale University librarian annually selects the most notable quotes of the year.
They are the bright spots of a party whose national brand is in tatters.
Opinion: Governors say Capitol Hill Republicans remain their biggest obstacle to success.
The department still wants info about who receives vouchers and what the effects are on schools.
Opinion: Forget the 2016 chatter. It's 2014 that matters.
He says the party will have its most formidable contenders since Reagan.

This is gorgeous! I've been following your blog on this and love it. Are you going to have a pattern for sale on this one? I want to learn how to do the basket! I am taking your class on applique on Craftsy and have watched all the videos, now I'm gathering supplies. Can't wait to get started.
I just registered for your class and in the first segment I learned something that has already saved my sanity in making templates. I am looking forward to completing the course, you are an amazing talent. I do so agree with you that taking time to do a project properly is much more important than meeting a deadline. My family members who receive their gifts months late sure understand that theory.
Beth I just got your book and I am glad I can CONGRATULATE you personally on your teaching skills (as well!). I have been appliqueing for many years now and bought lots of books but none so clear and down to earth as yours. I really enjoyed it. Thanks and God bless you.
Thank you so much! I am blushing.

text: DENVER (AP) -- A Denver police officer has died after being shot in the head while trying to break up a confrontation at a city park where hundreds of families had gathered for a free weekly jazz concert, a police spokesman said. The gunfire erupted shortly after the band finished playing next to a pond at City Park. The officer who was shot was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. At least 1,000 people were at the City Park Jazz concert, the fourth of 10 shows scheduled for this summer in the annual series. The shots sent scores of park goers running. Jackson said police were continuing to search for a suspect, while describing the shooting as an isolated incident. Earlier, police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez said a suspect was in custody, providing no further details. The gunfire erupted shortly after the band finished playing next to a pond at City Park. At least 1,000 people were at the City Park Jazz concert, the fourth of 10 shows scheduled for this summer in the annual series. After shots rang out, scores of people ran from the northwest side of the pond and stage area, confusing crowds on the south side of the pond who were still lingering over conversation and picnics in lawn chairs and blankets. Someone announced from a loudspeaker on stage that the park was closed and told park goers to leave from the south side. Nakira Doss, 28, was sitting near the stage when she heard at least two shots. She said she covered her three children, ages 7, 5 and 4, as other concertgoers ran past. "I told my kids to get on the ground, and I laid on top of them," she said. Samuel Bell, 19, of Denver, said he was in the parking lot looking for a space for his scooter, which police later cordoned off with yellow tape. He said he heard several shots. "We just arrived at the park. It was crowded, it was looking fun," Bell said. "And then `pa- pa-pa-pa' outta nowhere. "We just ducked," Bell said. "We pulled off in enough time to get away. It was crazy." He said he saw police officers administering CPR. He estimated he was about 10 to 20 feet away from where the officer was shot. --- Associated Press Writers Rema Rahman and Thomas Peipert contributed to this report.

Big Band Sound Brassy Winner of Play the King
Ending a spate of runner-up finishes at Woodbine, Big Band Sound spurted away from the field at mid-stretch and held sway to win the $203,980 Play the King Stakes (Can-IIT) by 2 1/2 lengths on the turf Aug. 26 (VIDEO) . Tyler Pizarro rode the poised Big Band Sound to victory for trainer Dan Vella at odds of 5-2. The 5-year-old son of Bernstein stalked the pacesetters in the seven-furlong test while saving ground, angled out in the lane, and split rivals to emerge with the lead approaching mid-stretch. The bay horse quickly opened up a clear advantage and held steady as Riding the River rallied late to edge Delegation for second. The final time for the Play the King, a key stakes prep for the Ricoh Woodbine Mile (Can-IT) Sept. 16, was 1:21.62 on firm going. Smokey Fire, the 2-1 favorite in the field of nine, was in position to challenge in the homestretch but faded to finish last. Owned by Kendel D. Standlee, Big Band Sound had been given a freshening following a runner-up finish by a neck to Riding the River in the one-mile King Edward Stakes (gr. IIT) June 24. That was his fourth consecutive second-place finish in Woodbine stakes since April 7. The Play the King was the second win in seven starts this year for Big Band Sound. Vella, who won the Play the King in 1995 with King Ruckus, said: "He's a really nice horse. This is what it's about for us trainers. A good horse does good things. He came into the race very well and hopefully we did the right thing in freshening him. He ran four very tough races in the spring. We thought a fresh horse in the fall would be worth having. Richard Schultz bred Big Band Sound, who is out of the Seeking the Gold mare Ensnare, in Kentucky. Forwardly placed by Pizarro, Big Band Sound rated just behind the pacesetter, Stormy Rush, who battled with Artic Fern through reasonable quarter-mile fractions of :23.33 and :46.21. Delegation, racing on the outside for Jermaine Bridgmohan, increased the pressure on the leaders in upper stretch. But it was Big Band Sound who shifted off the rail for the drive and snatched the advantage. He won under steady urging from Pizarro. "There wasn't that much speed on paper so we just wanted to get him into the race, get him to relax," Pizarro explained. "We got perfect cover. He relaxed very well and when I asked him to go, he just bulled right through those horses and never stopped running." Riding the River, shortening up following his victory in the 1 1/8-mile Nijinksy Stakes (gr. IIT) July 22, emerged from the pack for Todd Kabel after being blocked in upper stretch to chase the winner home in the final furlong. He finished a half-length in front of Delegation. Artic Fern held on for fourth, followed by Grand Adventure, Stormy Rush, Clement Rock, Jaguar Paw, and Smokey Fire. Big Band Sound improved his record to 5-4-3 in 17 starts with earnings of $363,200. Carrying 117 pounds, Big Band Sound paid $7.80, $4.10, and $3 as the second choice. Riding the River, who toted co-top weight of 123 pounds, returned $5.80 and $3.60 as his two-race win streak came to an end for trainer David Cotey. The exacta was worth $29.70. The lightly raced Delegation, second in the inaugural one-mile Mystic Lake Derby at Canterbury Park July 28, paid $4.30. Bear Tough Tiger and Right One were scratched by stewards.

Cutting, Glue, How-To-Projects, Ink, Mixed Media, Patterned Paper, Tammy Tutterow,
Recovering a wooden or paper mache box with patterned paper can be a simple and quick way to add a decorative element to your décor without much time or expense. With a few basic tools you can recover a box easily without a single measurement!
Begin by selecting a box that has smooth and crisp corners. Sometimes paperboard and paper mache boxes with be a little rough on the corners. Taking a moment to select a box that is constructed well will result in a nicer finished project
To quickly and easily re-cover a box lid, apply a glue medium to the top of the lid. Apply an even layer of the medium on the lid making sure to cover the entire surface. You will want a thickness similar butter on bread, not too thin and no so thick that it will seep out from under the edges.
Place the lid adhesive side down on the back of your patterned paper. Adjust the placement of the lid so that there is enough of a paper border around the edges of the lid to fold up and cover the edges. Let the lid sit for a couple of minutes to allow the adhesive to set up.
Apply glue medium to one of the box sides.
Fold the paper over the side of the lid with the medium on it. To get a really nice edge, you can lift the lid, turning it onto its side. The movement of turning the lid onto its side will fold the paper over to the side. Hold it there for a few minutes to allow the adhesive to set up.
Use a craft knife to trim along the edges up against the box on the long and two short sides. A fresh blade is best for cutting through paper that may be slightly damp from the adhesive. Repeat for the remaining three sides.
Once the box lid and sides have been covered, use a clean dry cloth to rub over the surface. Rubbing over the surface with the cloth will help smooth out any air pockets or wrinkles. Set the lid aside to finish drying.
To cover the box sides, apply glue medium to one side of the box.
Place the box adhesive side down on the back side of your selected patterned paper. Line the corner of the box up with the corner of the paper. Let the box sit in place for a minute or two and then cut along the edges with a craft knife. Apply the medium to the next side and repeat until all four sides are covered. Set the box aside for a few minutes to allow the medium to dry.
Once the medium is dry (it will no longer feel damp to the touch), sand the edges lightly to blend and smooth them. You can vary the amount of sanding depending on how vintage or distressed you would like your finished piece to be.
Add distress ink to the edges of the box and lid for a vintage or distressed look.
Finish the box by adding embellishments such as flowers, leaves, and ephemera.
You can create extra texture and dimension in your paper or sticker embellishments by tearing or curling the edges. On this example, the edges of this strip of paper were torn with the Deckle Tear Edger to create a distressed effect.

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - The Newton County School System has responded to some parents' concerns regarding transportation changes at the new theme schools, but they aren't reverting to the old practices.
A week after listening for over an hour to more than a dozen parents voice their uncertainties to the Newton County Board of Education regarding the discontinuation of afternoon bus service from the theme school to the students' homes, school officials have posted answers to questions posed during the meeting on the system Web site, www.newtoncountyschools.org. Although the system plans to keep afternoon transportation limited to drop-off areas around the county, as it decided two weeks into the school year, it has made some changes to accommodate some parents who were having problems with this modification, as determined in the school board meeting. Some parents in subdivisions near the theme schools wanted their students to walk home if buses could not take them home, but the schools have not been allowing students to do so. Now, the schools are allowing students to walk to subdivisions adjacent to the schools in a secured area, as long as they have permission from their parents or guardian, according to the Q&A form. Still, students are not allowed to walk beside a major road, as some have done, for safety reasons. Students also have the option to be picked up by their parent or guardian at the school, at one of several parent pickup points around the county or remain at school for the after-school program. Parents who decided to pick up their students at the pick-up points told the board that some children were not monitored as to who they rode home with and there were concerns about their safety. Now, schools plan to assign numbers to each child and parent in order to have them picked up in an orderly fashion, according to the Q&A form. Additionally, some parents were concerned that buses were overcrowded - parents reported three to four children sitting in one seat on some of the buses. Now, the schools have adjusted buses serving the parent pick-up points, so no bus is considered overcrowded. Officials originally advised parents to use the after-school program to keep their students if they could not pick them up at the school or a drop-off point, but soon the program filled up. Now, the after-school program staff is working to increase the number of certified teachers in order to open more student slots. Registration has now reopened. Although enrollment at the theme schools has decreased by several dozen since the start of the school year, the Q&A said that it has not affected their state funding level. Schools may have to add or move teachers as student enrollment changes across the county, however. Michelle Floyd can be reached at email@example.com like this story

El Paso,TX — Americans are doing a better job getting their debt under control. The percentage of people with overdue payments on credit cards, auto loans and other debt dropped during the first three months of the year.
The American Bankers Association says the percentage of loans at least 30-days overdue dropped to a little more than two percent which is the lowest level since 2007. The percentage of overdue credit card payments fell to the lowest level since 2001.

John McCain is a DANCING MACHINE -- no seriously, he's like a fully functioning cyberdyne robot ... and this weekend he busted out his mechanical dance moves in front of Jamie Foxx at a party in the Hamptons. With The Roots providing the beat, the Arizona senator went into full "Zoolander" pop-and-lock battle mode on stage during a benefit at Ron Perelman's East Hampton estate. Jamie Foxx tried to mimic McCain's moves -- but the guy just couldn't keep up.
In an attempt to bring back diners that have fled to more healthy and higher quality alternatives, McDonald's announced Wednesday a couple of important changes in its some fourteen thousand US locations. The first? In the next two years it'll stop serving chicken raised with antibiotics that may encourage the development of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" in humans. And the second, it'll stop selling milk products from cows that are treated with rbST - a highly controversial growth hormone which is barred in most developed countries. McDonald's new chief executive officer Steve Easterbrook has already signaled that he's planing to modernize the brand and improve the quality of the food. The big question in the industry is, whether he'll be able to do so without raising prices too much - and scaring away customers to more affordable rivals.
After what seems like years of LA-bashing, Lena Dunham may be trading in her New York hustle-and-bustle for a little bit of that City of Angels lifestyle. Rumors have been floating around that the Girls creator is about to close on an almost-$3-million-dollar house in Hollywood, which is a major change from her current digs in Brooklyn. The star isn't commenting on why she's making the switch, but it would make sense that she's finding herself in Tinseltown more and more these days. Either that or she found that a New York City without Beyoncé and Jay Z is not a New York City worth living in.
Karrueche Tran was in the dark ... blindsided by Chris Brown 's baby news just moments before TMZ broke the story. We're told Tran had absolutely no idea her boyfriend was a daddy -- much less a daddy with a baby mama with whom SHE partied. Sources say Karrueche and Brown had a blowout fight a week ago and weren't speaking, but he tried calling her after the story broke ... she did not pick up. Brown is the father of a 9-month-old baby with a former model Nia .
Australia's foreign minister said on Thursday she had proposed a prisoner swap with her Indonesian counterpart in an 11th hour effort to save the lives of two Australian drug smugglers expected to face a firing squad within days. The planned executions of Myuran Sukumaran, 33, and Andrew Chan, 31, have ratcheted up diplomatic tension between Australia and Indonesia following repeated pleas for mercy on their behalf.
Here we go again! Scott Disick is in trouble for his bad behavior. The 31-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star just did an appearance in Manchester, UK on Tuesday, (March 3). While at the appearance, Disick seemed a little out of it, and let's just say the PR company wasn't pleased with his performance. According to TMZ , the company believes all of this could bankrupt them, and they've " begun legal proceedings against Disick for breach of contract."

Isn't there a .357 called the Rhino?

That is a wild looking contraption. It supposed to be imported by Chiappa. It fires from the bottom chamber.
Totally agree on the Rhino made by Chiappa

It's free and doesn't require uninstallation or reinstallation of something Microsoft intentionally...forgot
Adds yet another layer between a power-user and the best functions in Windows 7
This is the problem from my viewpoint: StartMenu8 adds one more layer in the way of a power-user (not a kiddish swiper of photos).
I just hold the Windows key with my left thumb and simultaneously press D with my left index-finger to get to my old Desktop (without the Start button, though).

The latest version is even better! Easy to boot directly to the Desktop and switch to Metro... and back and forth ... very easily. I found Start Menu 8 to be totally safe and error-free.
I believe this utility changed Microsoft mind. They will release a FIX to Windows 8 that incorporates the good old Start button!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A spinster is an unmarried woman who is past the usual age for marrying and is considered unlikely to marry.[1]
An 18-year-old single woman would not be considered a spinster in contemporary language, but a single, 40-year-old woman may be considered a spinster. The term is synonymous with "old maid". Several dictionaries flag it as a derogatory term.
An etymological dictionary says of the word origin and history:[2]
spinster: mid-14c., "female spinner of thread," from M.E. spinnen (see spin) + -stere, feminine suffix. Spinning commonly done by unmarried women, hence the word came to denote "an unmarried woman" in legal documents from 1600s to early 1900s, and by 1719 was being used generically for "woman still unmarried and beyond the usual age for it."
Another source on etymology says the word took on its meaning of a never-married woman in the early 18th century: "Origin late Middle English (in the sense 'woman who spins'): from the verb spin + -ster; in early use the term was appended to names of women to denote their occupation. The current sense dates from the early 18th century."[3]
The term originally identified girls and women who spun wool, long before the industrial age. In medieval times, this was one of the few livelihoods available to a woman to bring in wages to contribute to the household's income or to live independently of a male wage. "Spinster" also evolved into a legal term to describe an unmarried female,[4] commonly heard in the banns of marriage of the Church of England when the prospective bride is formally described as a "spinster of this parish".[5]
From its start as a word to describe a woman with a specific occupation, spinster came to indicate a woman or girl of marriageable age or past it who was not married and never had been married, in societies where being married was generally the first social goal for a woman.
Merriam Webster's Dictionary (1913 and 1828) once defined spinster in two main senses: "1. A woman who spins, or whose occupation is to spin. 2. Law: An unmarried or single woman."[6]
By the 19th century, the term evolved to include women who were so finicky that they refused to marry. During that century
middle-class spinsters, as well as their married peers, took ideals of love and marriage very seriously, and ... spinsterhood was indeed often a consequence of their adherence to those ideals. ... They remained unmarried not because of individual shortcomings but because they didn't find the one "who could be all things to the heart".[7]
During that same century, one editorial in the fashion publication Peterson's Magazine encouraged women to remain choosy in selecting a mate — even at the price of never marrying. The editorial, titled "Honorable Often to Be an Old Maid," advised women: "Marry for a home! Marry to escape the ridicule of being called an old maid? How dare you, then, pervert the most sacred institution of the Almighty, by becoming the wife of a man for whom you can feel no emotions of love, or respect even?"[7]
The U.S. Oxford dictionary defines spinster as "an unmarried woman, typically an older woman beyond the usual age for marriage".[3] It adds: "In modern everyday English, however, spinster cannot be used to mean simply 'unmarried woman'; as such, it is a derogatory term, referring or alluding to a stereotype of an older woman who is unmarried, childless, prissy, and repressed."
Age is a crucial part of the definition. "If someone is a spinster, by implication she is not eligible [to marry]; she has had her chance, and been passed by," explains Robin Lakoff in Language and Woman's Place. "Hence, a girl of twenty cannot be properly called a spinster: she still has a chance to be married."[8] "In modern everyday English," the New Oxford American Dictionary says, "spinster cannot be used to mean simply 'unmarried woman'; it is now always a derogatory term, referring or alluding to a stereotype of an older woman who is unmarried, childless, prissy, and repressed."[9] Yet other sources on terms describing a never-married woman indicate that the term applies to a woman as soon as she is of legal age or age of majority (see bachelorette, single).
Currently, Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines spinster in these three ways:[10]
Similarly, Dictionary.com describes "spinster" as an unmarried woman beyond the usual age of marriage, along with some other, less common definitions:[11]
The title "spinster" has been embraced by feminists like Sheila Jeffreys, whose 1985 book The Spinster and Her Enemies defines spinsters simply as women who have chosen to reject sexual relationships with men.[12]
At least one study found that modern spinsters feel a social stigma attached to their status, and a sense of both heightened visibility and invisibility. "Heightened visibility came from feelings of exposure, and invisibility came from assumptions made by others."[13]
In this first sense, the term is, or has been, used in legal documents in English-speaking nations, and once identified any unmarried woman, as "bachelor" was used to identify men. However, a "spinster" may also connote not simply a never-married woman, but a woman who has not formed a human pair bond by the time she is approaching or has reached menopause and the end of her reproductive lifespan.[9]
The term was once "the official legal description of an unmarried woman....In modern everyday English ... spinster cannot be used to mean simply 'unmarried woman'; as such, it is a derogatory term, referring or alluding to a stereotype of an older woman who is unmarried, childless, prissy, and repressed."[9]
The term once described any single woman. However, it has since evolved to only refer to older, unmarried women. As a result, in England and Wales, the term was abolished in favour of "single" for the purpose of marriage registration in 2005.[14]
Women may not marry for a variety of reasons, including the available pool of men or women, which can decrease dramatically during wartime and the economic structure of society (that is, the existence of occupations for women that earn money). For long centuries, work done by women was part of a household. With industrialization, jobs that paid women money arose - but it was often expected that once married, the woman would give up such work and care for her husband / for the household. Thus marrying involved giving up independence and even legal freedoms.
For instance, the First World War prevented many within a generation of women from experiencing romance and marriage, or having children.[15] The image of the old spinster with a fading photo of her dead World War I soldier boyfriend on her fireplace mantel was common in films of the 1950s and 1960s.[citation needed] Likewise, in the American classic novel Gone with the Wind (1936) about the Civil War, numerous references are made to grieving fiancées, women who were "wanted, if not wed", and to the shortage of single, able-bodied (and thus "marriageable") men at war's end.[citation needed]
In modern peacetime societies with wide opportunities for romance, marriage and children, there are other reasons that available women remain single as they approach old age. Psychologist Erik Erikson postulated that during young adulthood (ages 18 to 39), individuals experience an inner conflict between a desire for intimacy (i.e., a committed relationship leading to marriage) and a desire for isolation (i.e., fear of commitment).[16]
Spinsters have been the focus of attention from the media and mainstream culture for centuries. They are the "Aanissat" in Arabic," Spinsters" in English, "Vieilles filles" in French, "Alte Jungfer" in German or "Dakhtar tarsheed" in Persian.[17]
In Australia, parties are held for young single people to meet and socialize (particularly in the rural areas). These events are known as Bachelor and Spinster Balls or colloquially "B and S Balls". Dances which women ask men to attend are known as Sadie Hawkins dances in the United States.[citation needed]
There has been recent (2010s) interest in this word as a form of reappropriation from third-wave feminists. Recent examples include several blogs/videos, such as: reclaimingthepejorative, a Bitch Magazine article,[18] and the Sinister House YouTube channel.[19]
Many classic and modern films have depicted stereotypical spinster characters. In the classic Now, Voyager (1942), Bette Davis portrayed Charlotte Vale, an unattractive, overweight, repressed spinster whose life is dominated by her dictatorial mother, an aristocratic Boston dowager whose verbal and emotional abuse of her daughter has contributed to the woman's complete lack of self-confidence. She played another spinster named Charlotte in Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964). Katharine Hepburn specialized in playing spinsters in the 1950s such as Rosie in The African Queen (1951), Jane Hudson in Summertime (1955), and Lizzie in The Rainmaker (1956). The fictional character Bridget Jones often refers to herself as a spinster in the film Bridget Jones's Diary (1996). The documentary Cat Ladies (2009) spins a tale of four spinsters whose lives have become dedicated to their cats.[20]
In both The Taming of the Shrew (early 1590's) and Much Ado About Nothing (late 1590's), William Shakespeare referred to a contemporary saying that it was the fate of women who died unmarried to lead apes into hell. By the time of the British Regency, "ape leader" had become a slang term for "old maid". It is often used in that context in Regency romances and other literature set in that period. The books Washington Square and The Heiress have old maid heroines who ultimately choose to remain spinsters and embrace the freedom of not having to enter marriage.[citation needed]
One stereotype of spinsters that appears in literature is that they are downtrodden or spineless women who were victims of an oppressive parent. This stereotype is played out in William Faulkner's classic short story "A Rose for Emily" (1930), in which Emily's father is confident that no man is worthy of his daughter's hand in marriage. Other stereotypes include women who were relegated to lifetime roles as family caretaker for their family of origin[21] or for a married sibling's children, "poor relations" who would work "to earn their keep" as nannies or unpaid domestics. Being a governess was the fate expected by rejected orphan Jane Eyre in the 1847 novel by Charlotte Brontë, a status she kept until the man she loved was widowed and available.
A common theme in the fiction writings of author/poet Sandra Cisneros is marital disillusionment; she has written the poem "Old Maids" (1994).
In the Dickens's classic Great Expectations, the primary antagonist is Miss Havisham, a spinster embittered by being defrauded and abandoned on her wedding day; an event that shaped the rest of her life, and by extension, those around her.
The Bob Dylan song "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" (1963) tells the true story of a murder at a spinsters' ball in Baltimore in 1963.[22] Paul McCartney, while in the band The Beatles, composed a hit song "Eleanor Rigby" in 1966 about the loneliness and death of a spinster (though never using the term in the lyrics).
Tina Fey's portrayal of her character Liz Lemon, on the hit NBC series 30 Rock exemplifies another classic spinster stereotype. Lemon, a 40-something single woman whose relationships never seem to work out, has unrealistically high expectations of what she is looking for in a man: her dream husband is the archetypal "Astronaut Mike Dexter", and for much of the series her character is holding out on settling on a man until she can score an astronaut.[23]
Unpopped popcorn kernels have been dubbed "old maids" in popular slang, since like unmarried women who never had children, the kernels do not "pop".[22]

Ok ...
Earlier I posted that I was done with this particular fan. Well .... addictions are hard to overcome, and I caved in and bought yet another CS12. From HobbyKing. So it was the weak version. And last week I had yet another failure. The third failed fan in 121 flights on this airframe. But this time I caught the failure as it was occurring. I was able to hear the subtle bzzz as it was happening and landed safely. This allowed me to disassemble the unit and see just what was going on. Yep, the shaft had shifted off center - aka runout - just like I theorized a while back. So what I was hearing was the vibration of an imbalanced unit, plus the contact of the rotor with the shroud. Surely this weak rotor would have failed imminently under such circumstances. Anyway, way too much to type to explain it all so I took a vid of the damaged CS12, along with some thoughts for the next one. A bonafide glutten for punishment, I know. But the SOUND .... tn

Don't know if you can call that a failure of the fan, I think what 4S was describing earlier was there was a batch of bad blades that would come loose from their base tossing the rest of them.
Shroud rub would no doubt cause the lighter blades to fail fast. Are you able to bottom out the motor shaft adapter onto the motor shaft? Also what thread lock are you using on the grub screws? regards |
Nov 18, 2012, 05:06 PM | |
There should be no "runout" on the adapter/motor shaft fit but of course there are loose fitting adapters. That is corrected by putting some epoxy into the adapter hole as you put it on the motor shaft. No wobble or shifting possible then. My catastrophic failures were not caused by any runout as my adapters were made solid. Whole blades would come out of the hub, breaking the front tabs that were supposed to hold them in.
The plastic simply couldn't hold the blades in. Cheers |

Hi erh - answers to your thoughtful questions below. Thanks for the feedback!
If I can "play" with the runout of the adaptor during assembly, simply by varying which grub screws I tighten & how much, does this not suggest that the adaptors are too loose? If the only thing keeping the adaptor runout in check are those four grub screws, can we honestly expect that it will not shift due to vibes or rough landings? I'm thinking adding some kind of adhesive to the "end" of the shaft after final assembly should prevent shifting of the adaptor on the shaft. Sill wide open to other thoughts naturally. tn ImagesView all Images in thread

Interesting that my weak-gen rotor was able to handle a bit of contact with the shroud without instantly grenading. However, I'm next to certain that the last two failures I had were directly related to the adaptor shifting. Can't say what took out the first one though. I never weighed the blades, but am assuming it was one of the tough ones 'cause I bought it just after they came out. Oh - just to be clear - my adaptors seemed solid once all tightened up too. It's just that I could "adjust" the runout during intial assembly via the grub screws. tn Quote:

This way my adapters never shift, but if it has to be removed it will have to be heated. |
Nov 18, 2012, 08:25 PM | |
TN It appears your motor shaft is rather short compared to most of my motors. I have one that was that short (EMAX 1650 that came with my HTG L39). It was impossible to get dynamically balanced until I used the epoxy trick. Once the shaft was supported, it was easy to get balanced as there was no more shifting.
It seems some "5mm" shafts are also not exactly the same as other "5mm" shafts. Slight variations in size doesn't help when adapters also have slight variations. I have a bag full of adapters that I go through to match up to whatever motor I am setting up. Usually I end up using some epoxy as it is rare that the adapter fits as tight as it should. |
Nov 18, 2012, 08:27 PM | |
In order to allow the possibility of removing the glued on adapter, I usually apply some wax to the motor shaft before installing. One easy way to remove the adapter is to get a long spinner bolt and just turn it in while holding the adapter from turning. The spinner screw will push the adapter right off.
