Prophet Motive
Back in
The House of Quark
the writers hit upon the brilliant idea of the unlikely pairing of the Klingons and the Ferengi, and it was used for good comedic, as well as dramatic, effect. This episode hits upon the even more unlikely pairing of the Ferengi and the Prophets, and it's not quite as successful. I've said it before and I'll no doubt be saying it again before this thread is finished, Ferengi comedy episodes too often hit upon the same jokes about them being greedy misogynists and repeat them for an hour. This episode skips the sexist part of their nature leaving only the greed angle, and that makes it a bit tiresome. It's an interesting concept for an episode alright, and I did enjoy seeing Quark communicate with the Prophets (although it would have been nicer if this wasn't only their second actual appearance on the show). The solution to the problem, the Prophets reverting Zek because they didn't want to deal with the Ferengi anymore, was fitting and perhaps a little ironic.
Speaking of Zek, over the Christmas period I learned that Wallace Shawn co-wrote and starred in My Dinner With Andre, which is a movie I have obviously heard a lot about but never actually watched. But Shawn's involvement piqued my interest enough to check it out and it's very odd to watch Wallace Shawn go from an intellectual movie where two men discuss what life is all about to seeing him in giant ears and snorting beetles up his nose. And I thought that Bryan Cranston's range was impressive. At least he gets to play a different Zek than usual in this episode, and hearing him happily humming while trapped in a sack actually managed to make the sides of my lips curl upwards slightly.
Meanwhile, Dr Bashir is nominated for some medical award that he doesn't win. This plot feels incomplete somehow. It's like they had an idea and then wrote some scenes around that idea, but it never really managed to develop into a story. I read on MA that it was something of an in-joke about how the producers on TNG reacted to being nominated for an Emmy, which may explain why it felt half-baked as they were trying to make fun of themselves a little while not being willing to go the whole way. But hey, we got the introduction of the dart board, so that's something.

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review athletes of the week: Chartiers Valley's Drew Damich, Vincentian's Abbey Bartoszewicz
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Drew Damich
School: Chartiers Valley
Year: Sophomore
Sport: Swimming
Claim to fame: Damich brought home two gold medals from the PIAA swimming championships this past weekend. He won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:40.52 and the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:33.75. In the 500, Damich trailed Montour's Jarod Kehl on the final lap but was able to pull off the win by 0.53 seconds.
"Drew's an incredible swimmer who has a great work ethic and is completely dedicated to swimming," coach Heidi Fiorentini said. "I really think he's bound for greater things if everything goes well."
How does it feel to win two PIAA gold medals?
It feels pretty good. I wasn't happy with one medal going into it at the beginning of the season. I worked really hard and it really paid off.
Did you realize how close you were to Kehl in the 500 freestyle?
I knew the whole time that we were basically dead even the whole race. Going into the last lap I just knew that as soon as I touched I was going to go as hard as I can.
How much will you train in the pool this summer?
I train with Mt. Lebanon Swim Club. We're still in the water now. I have a meet starting Thursday through Sunday at Virginia Tech. After this meet we have a two-week break and then we start back up and train all through the summer.
What do you hope to improve this summer?
I definitely need to work on my walls. I knew that when I was racing Jarod. He got me on every turn, so that's definitely something I need to improve.
Abbey Bartoszewicz
School: Vincentian
Year: Senior
Sport: Basketball
Claim to fame: Bartoszewicz had 14 points and 10 rebounds Tuesday in a PIAA semifinal win over Bishop Guilfoyle. She also made the game-winning shot in Vincentian's 44-42 win over Berlin Brothersvalley in the second round of the PIAA Class A playoffs on March 13. She also scored 10 points in a 68-51 win over Kennedy Catholic in the PIAA quarterfinals on Saturday.
How much fun are you having in the playoffs right now?
It's definitely special because it's my senior year. I have to thank my whole team because we've all played our hearts out. I just want to go out each game and play for the other seniors. We still have a long way to go.
What moment will stick out from your high school career?
I'd just have to say all of the WPIAL championships. Each team was like a family. Winning those three WPIAL championships meant so much and showed how much the hard work paid off.
Have you decided where you'll attend college?
No, I have not. I will make my decision after the playoffs. I'm looking at Mt. Union and St. Vincent.
Do you have a major in mind?
Communications. I love to talk and I have always been interested in broadcast and radio. I love listening to Mikey and Big Bob on Kiss FM.
What's something people may not know about you?
I like to write poetry.

4. Re: McAfee M-2950 IPSgfergus1 Jul 8, 2013 10:53 AM (in response to saumyapillai)
It sounds as though the server is not getting an IP address. The manager installation is only setting up a static IP bind in the case of the manager server having multiple addresses.
You will need to use the windows control panel to set the IP of the server.

8. Re: McAfee M-2950 IPShschupp Aug 16, 2013 12:24 PM (in response to saumyapillai)
Since you are able now to login to the NSM I see that you have resolved your IP issue.
The next step as you have started is to add the sensor(s) to the NSM.
There are prequisites that are needed for that process to complete properly:
Open the ports between the NSM and the sensor(s).
UDP - NSM Source port 4167 to Sensor listening on UDP 8500
UDP - Sensor Source port 8500 to NSM listening on 4167
TCP - Sensor listening on TCP port 8501 through 8504
TCP - Sensor listening on port 22 for SSH connectivity
Usually if the sensor is on the same segment as the NSM this is not an issue but there is any firewall between the sensor and NSM you will need to have the FW Admin add those ACLs.
You would also want to ensure that any Local Firewall on the NSM Server allows all that as well (whether speaking Windows FW or an application FW installed on the NSm server).
Once those prerequisites are in place you then start the sensor setup/install:
1. Add the sensor by name into the NSM's Device list - creating the secretkey as you do.
This will prep the manager for having the sensor 'call-in' later in the steps.
The sensor will show up in the NSM Home page as "unknown"
It will not be listed in the Configure Page/Resource Tree yet.
2. On the sensor type 'setup' and configure the name to match, the IP, Mask, and Gateway info. Also define the IP address of the NSM server. Reboot the sensor to embed that information on the sensor.
3. On the sensor CLI type "show mgmtport' to show what the speed/duplex has negotiated to. If the link has negotiated to a half-duplex conenction that can impact on the sensor being able to recieve the data package during the next steps of connecting the sensor to the NSM.
Example: The management port on the sensor defaults to AUTO negotiate. If the switch that it is conencted to is hard-coded to Full-duplex then the link will usually negotiate to 10 or 100 Half-duplex. You can change the switch to be AUTO to match that of the sensor or you can hard-code the sensor management port to also be Full duplex.
Example: set mgmtport speed 100 duplex full
Now that you have all the ACLs in place and a solid management port speed/duplex link established you can perform the next step in the process which is to establish the connection between the NSM and the Sensor.
4. On the sensor CLI type:
set sensor sharedsecretkey
This will first set up a secure trust between the sensor and the NSM. (You'll see that as "Trust = Yes" when running the "status" command from the sensor cli while the sharedsecret key process is going through its paces.
You then should see (keep entering 'Status" command every 10-15 seconds) the Alert, Packetlog, and Command channel change from DOWN to UP.
Once that completes the sensor will now show up in the Resource Tree under the Configure page of the NSM.
The process so far has just set up the communication channels. The NSM will now query the sensor for a bunch of info .. name, ip, model, version, how long running, configuration state data -- basically getting an inventory of information ABOUT the sensor.
Using that information it compiles a configuration package for the sensor that includes the default policy, global settings, etc and pushes that out to the sensor.
You can 'track' that process in several manners:
From NSM go to the Configure Page -- Select the Domain (My Company level) and from the menu select LOGS then submenu - Long Running Processes. You should see the Update package (says something like Signature set update in Progress) being pushed to the sensor.
If this is successful THEN the sensor will populate into the Resource Tree of the NSM and the "Unknown" state will clear and it will show that the sensor is ACTIVE.
That data package is transferred over the TCP port 8504 that you made sure was opened.
The other way to track the progress of the configuration push to the sensor is from the sensor CLI.
After you see that the TRUST = Yes and all the channels show UP.. type:
download status
It will show you the progress of the data transfer.
Note .. that the NSM compiles the package after the first part of the sharedsecret process and then pushes that to the sensor. Point is that it can take up to 4 or 5 minutes before the actual data transfer starts so be patient when looking at the download status output .. I usually just trust the NSM's long-running process to tell me when the package has been transferred successfully. If there is a problem and it fails I will then look at the error message for the sensor in the NSM Fault Status page and run the download status on the CLI to see if it tells me why it failed.
If it DOES fail then the sensor will not be manageable from the NSM (because that 'package' included info for the sensor about how the two (NSM and Sensor) would communicate.).
You can see that the "Unknown" state that you are asking about exists as the expeected state until the sensor is completely joined to the NSM... so the answer to your question is that it could be several causes as outlined in the processes above. Any failure along the way can result in that status ...
So - review the processes as described and see what did not happen.
For instance .. that configuration push to the sensor can fail if port 8504 sees a lot of CRC errors .. which is a condition that a Half-Duplex link of the management port will see if you have that AUTO versus Fixed mismatch between the sensor and the switch.
Hope this helps!

The idea is solid, and the story of Rhian is not bad, though his name is repeated too many times. I like the basic premise of the idea, though the powers are too game specific. They won't work very well in a setting that doesnt use weapon speed or other factors.

This one has come from the depths of Citadel, and it's classic old school Dungeons and Dragons. Random details that sound cool, a wooden fob and a flask that refills itself. This makes me think of the items in the back of the Dungeon Master's guide, the sort of thing I would sit and just read when I was younger, and would just ponder what sort of things I would have a character pour out of it.

Ditto what CP said, generic militant elves.
On the other hand I do like posts like this for what they can be dissected for.
1. The trees were enchanted to produce white light day and night by Lord Valanair - Who was this Lord, is he still around, why did he magic the trees to glow? We already have a potential NPC, and an odd lifeform - the glowing trees.
2. The Flute of Vaxtar - what is it, what can it do, etc etc etc
3. Ellivanor, Meltifiace and Quelfinare - Three cities, three locations. Why is Ellivanor the largest? Are there any rivalries? What are the cities known for, if anything.
4. There is an army of seasoned elvish warriors supported by 240 rangers - Seasoned armies have seen combat and survived if not prevailed. Who have they fought, who are their enemies, what were their losses?
Unofortunelty I must give this submission a 1.5/5, other than spawning some interesting questions, it is still generic, vague, and alltogether too short.

Could use some cleaning up on the formatting side, but aside from that a staggeringly cool read. The names are pure Penguin, leading us off to ponder their meanings, my favorite being the Prince of the Endless Corridor. There is a very strong and resonate dichotomy between the Understar's calm demeanor, and the power of will that bound the nine monsters to the pearls and would unleash ruin upon the world.

i think that Urisk could be expanded upon and fleshed out into a good character. The libido of the satyrs is well known, but perhaps the exploits of a Bilbo Baggins-esque satyr who lives in a near chihuahua like state of fear but is driven by his own almost alien libido... interesting.

A weapon that has gained a negative resonance from it's owner. A nice alternative to the weapon that gains uber-powers from being the weapon of a great and mighty hero. It could be a weapon that is sought to defeat say an new army of war spirits, but in doing so the hero who takes up the sword is in essence sacrificing himself...or herself.

War Fan of the Resplendent Burning Phoenix

I like the rich description of this item, and can easily imagine it. Now, I dont particularly care for the power, wafting about miniature fireballs and such. If I might add my idea, such as it is...
Once the fan is activated, one needs only to fan the Fan, as it were, and...
the edge of the fan is illuminated in a wreath of celestial flame. This flame causes no damage to the weilder of the fan, but deals devastating wounds to the corporeal undead, as well as driving away spirits of illness, the dark, and evil. Such spirits and persons of exceptionally evil character must overcome the radiance of the fan to attempt to attack the bearer.
If folded, the fan can be invoked, and will wreath itself in phoenixflame, but instead of causing injury, the folded fan can be used as an aid in attempts to heal the sick or injured. The great Hero Youhei touched a man burning with fever, and spoke the seven words of the whole body, and tapped him in the seven chakras with the folded fan. The man was alieved of his fever and sprang to the Hero's said completely cured of his illness.
i pray that I have not taken to many liberties, Cap'n.

from ARM DDI 01001, there is a term: process geometry, does it mean the chip size?
Caches and write buffers to improve average system performance are now commonplace in ARM® memory systems. Core clock rates have increased at a faster rate than memory access times over recent years. This factor, and smaller process geometries, the economics of on-chip memory, and system power constraints have encouraged the use of caches to meet growing system demands.

Richard's use of the helix from the Olympus lens as shown in the 65mm 6x9 image is similar to mine.
Printable View
Hmm I have a couple broken canon fd lenses sitting around.. what considerations are there in choosing a donor candidate for a helical?
Sorry no pics of during construction. I think the only bit that may have been of interest is in fiddling around trying to turn a standard 35mm lens into a usable focusing device for a completely different lens. I found it an attractive idea, although it required a fair bit of re-working, especially in forming a slot and maling a new slider for that slot that gave no play when focusing, and was tough enough to hold up with all the shutter cocking etc. I also found keeping the film and lens planes the same quite a challenge.
Also, I lost the slots which prevent it from turning hence my pin arrangement.
Yours looks neater than mine. Which lens did you use?
When I was looking for a suitable donor lens, the only one which looked like it would work.
Actually, my bigger Bronica ETRS lenses would have worked very well but I'm not sacrificing one of those!
It really needs to be a prime lens otherwise the zoom mechanism complicates things.
The diameter of the bore in the inner helix needs to be wide enough to take the rear elements of the lens you are using too.
Lenses such as my Schneider Super Angulon 65mm have quite large rear element assemblies. Almost as big as the front.
You also need to be able to mount a small circular lens board to the front of the helix. In that respect, my Minolta lens seems to have been designged for that very purpose!
Or you can spend £240 for the proper Schneider focusing mount.
Even though the 65sa is small, the 47sa is even smaller, and although olympus lenses are also small, there is about 2mm all round between the back element cluster and the helical inner. I did have doubts as to whether this would be a problem. I used 50mm 1.8 standard lenses, and if yours is anything like mine it needs the slot moving internally so it can be light tight. Incidentally to seal up the old slot in the helical I used some sticky back thick felt like stuff (b+q) that is supposed to prevent door handles banging against a wall or something. It is thicker than the thread is deep, so the felt lies jammed in the old slot, and takes on the profile of the thread, and is totally trustworthy even when the lens is fully extended. This was the only way I could figure out how to fill in the slot and make the helical and the old slot light tight.
I found mounting the new lens onto the helical required making new 'boards' - no probs if there are old ones kicking around.
Schneider have flange to film distances on their web site.
Richard. I have just bought an Olympus 50mm f1.8 lens on ebay for £2.75 so I will be trying the same conversion as you have done.
This lens has a faulty aperture mechanism so I'm not going to feel guilty about destroying a perfectly good lens.
I will wait until I get the lens and take it apart but if you don't mind, I may have some questions regarding the way you modified it - especially making a new slot.
My Minolta conversion needs an external pin and slider bracket assembly to prevent it from turning so your Olympus method would look neater.
I must admit making a new slot and the slider were the hardest parts especially as the slider with the lens cant be used. I had a 2 inch square of alluminium about 2mm thick that I knew to be dead square all round, and I cut 2 triangular pieces off 2 of the square corners. I forget the size, but they are about 3/4 inch high, 1/2 inch at the base, and the point at the top flattened off. These triangles happily sit on a machined ledge within the bore, and if memory serves me well, I put them in place inside, opposite where the lens slider is. What I suggest is you do a lot of staring at the components! (I did loads) because I found I had to completely ditch any metal on the moving helical that wasnt going to be used, because I reversed it, to give a square 'platform' to mount a lens panel onto. Also having 4 or 5 (cant remember) starts on the thread wont help either.
As for securing these triangles in the bore I used good old epoxy, and because I was essentially fastening something flat to a round, it meant epoxy could go round the back, and both triangles could be well and trully stuck in place. As a guide to the distance apart these triangles are, I decided to copy the olympus gap. If they are square and placed well they should end up giving a very decent slot for a slider, and for the slider I cut up some brass (off a picture frame plate) that was about 1.5mm thick, bent it to 90 degrees and filed away till the long part had a 'neck' with a wider bottom - very much like the one from the oly lens. The hardest part was to get it to 'slot width' at the bottom, without it having any play. This little slider was screwed into the holes left by the oly slider.
I have to say working it all out nearly drove me mad, but so far both focusing mounts are behaving well, and I have real faith in epoxy, as I cant see how any screws etc could have been used. Also near the end of all this I found there is a seperate threaded part to the lens (under the rubber ring) that made getting infinity dead easy.
I think whatever lens you use you are in for some fun!
Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully the lens will turn up tomorrow then I can take it apart and play with it for a day or two (and stare at it a lot!) before deciding what to do.
Was a square platform mounting area the only reason for reversing the helical?
If I kept the helical the correct way round and machined a flat surface to mount a lens board/disc to, would the existing slide still work or would it be in the way of the rear elements?
I know I could wait and answer these questions myself but I'm impatient!
I think you will find the slide is on the outside of the assembly, and as the slot runs through to the inside, it is open to the light so to speak. I pondered for ages trying to work out how to keep the slider as is, but realised it couldnt be made light tight, so inside it went, with the old slot being filled in with the felty stuff (its good) Also this move meant I could reverse the helical because the back had a better area to mount a lens plate onto, and it makes no difference. Its only the inner moving part that is reversed, the lens outer parts are the right way round because they offer 3 screw holes to fasten the whole thing onto the camera. I maybe cant make this too clear! (its hard with words and no pics) but the only part I chopped up was the inner moving helical, and as you will see apart from a few gaps to fill and make light tight the outer part with the focus ring needs little work apart from the new slot thingy. I'd be interested if you come up with a different solution to what is a pain in the arse to figure out!
I think you will run into similar problems as I had, with the slot/light tight issue, and the only way I could work round this was to put the slot in the dark, inside, with a reversed inner moving helical, and as I said it all works a treat.
Steve, the only thing in doubt here is wether your 65sa will fit the 'hole', as I mentioned the 47sa is smaller, and the 65 angulon posed no probs at all. If you have access to some metal removing machinery you may be in a good position. I only have a Dremmel.

Parker Toyota Eyes Event Center Buy
One local businessman and sports fan is trying to buy a hunk of land that he would donate to North Idaho College for a proposed event center. Doug Parker, owner of Parker Toyota, said he has made an offer to Washington Trust Bank to purchase roughly 22 acres in west Riverstone so the college would have cost-free land for a proposed sport and event facility. "We're negotiating as we speak," Parker told The Press this week, saying his offer began in "the 3 million dollar range." It's "not concrete yet. We have actually made a couple of written offers and had them rejected, (but) we still have the potential of putting something together." The land is in the process of being annexed into the city. It sits off Seltice Way, east of the U.S. Bank Call Center. About 7 acres of it sits on the bank of the Spokane River/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (Gabe Green CdA Press photo: A dirt biker rides through a parcel of land off of Seltice Way in the West Riverstone area which Doug Parker, owner of Parker Toyota may be purchasing)
Question: If Doug Parker provided $3M-plus gift to North Idaho College for future event center at Riverstone, would you be more inclined to support the project?
CityLink Transit Center Plans Advance

Land for the first phase of a permanent public transit center in Riverstone is expected to be acquired by September and construction is pegged to start next year, a county official said. "There's renewed enthusiasm in the project," said Christine Fueston, the county's Federal Transit Administration grant administrator. Kootenai County commissioners today are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding with The Coeur d'Alene Tribe to cooperatively work on the project. The site for the permanent center will be where the existing temporary center is at the southwest corner of Seltice Way and Riverstone Drive in Riverstone/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
Question: Have you ridden CityLink?
Event Center Challenge: Raise $5M
To build an event center in Riverstone, North Idaho College will have to break its fundraising record. The college's president thinks it can. Not only that, but he thinks NIC could secure the $5 million total in about a year. "I'm absolutely confident we can raise that," NIC President Joe Dunlap told The Press Thursday. "I do have some commitments. I can't tell you who from or for how much, but we do have some commitments." The $5 million would go to operational costs to run a multi-use event center in Riverstone off Seltice Way. On Wednesday, the city's urban renewal agency, Lake City Development Corp., agreed to fund $10 million to help build the arena. But before the college can capitalize on LCDC's pledge, it would have to raise and spend $5 million on the project first - a college record/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (SR file photo: Joe Dunlap)
Question: Do you think North Idaho College can raise $5M in private donations to match $10 from urban renewal, to build an Events Center?
2 Sites Possible For Event Center
Item: Two sites possible for NIC event center: Possible site at Riverstone valued at $2.5 million/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press
More Info: Organizers hoping to build an event center in Riverstone have identified two parcels of land in the multi-use development where the 5,000-seat arena could go. One site is about 10 acres and the other about 6. The 6-acre site is west of West Riverstone Drive and the 10-acre site is east of the drive. The 6-acre site is where Citylink's parking lot now sits. Riverstone developer John Stone estimates the land's worth at $2.5 million, but he says he'll sell the land at its appraised value if North Idaho College moves forward with a purchase.
Question: I sense that the idea of an events center is gaining momentum. What do you think?
Riverstone McDonalds?
I've always had the theory that you can accurately determine an area's population growth rate and level of prosperity by how many Macdonald's exist there. The first CdA area McDonalds appeared on former farmland on Appleway at some point in the early-mid 1970's, when Appleway was basically considered to be somewhere out in the boonies on your way to Hayden Lake. Actually, things had picking up a bit in that part of town for a little while with the opening of Cd'A's tiny first indoor shopping mall a few years earlier, but I don't think Appleway was even paved until a couple of years prior. Flash forward to 1993, and the significantly larger (but still not so huge) Silver Lake Mall has been been a few miles north of Appleway on Hanley Ave in an area that was once again considered to be the outer edge of civilization for those living close to downtown. McDonald's is to shopping malls as flies are to a fresh potato salad at a summer picnic/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here. (AP file photo of McDonald's quarter pounders)
Question: Are you looking forward to having a McDonalds at the entrance to Riverstone?
LCDC: $10M For Center Possible
Item: LCDC: $10 million is possible: Agency could secure funds to help build NIC event center/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press
More Info: Lake City Development Corp. has $10 million to help build an event center in Riverstone. Before the urban renewal agency decides whether it wants to pay for the bulk of the project North Idaho College is pitching, more market, feasibility and financing numbers have to be studied thoroughly. Until then, LCDC is interested in helping land the multi-use sports complex near the intersection of Northwest Boulevard and Interstate 90, it said Wednesday, and it could secure the funds to do it.
Question: Both NIC Trustee Ron Nilson and Councilman Dan Gookin support construction of an event center at Riverstone. However, Gookin said during a joint meeting of the council and LCDC board that he didn't support using urban renewal money to build the center. Should he (if it's the only way the center can be built)?
Riverstone Hitting Its Stride
Local developer John Stone talked about the exciting additions to Riverstone during a tour on March 5 in Coeur d'Alene. (SR photo: Kathy Plonka)
After more than a decade of setbacks and stalled progress, the 155-acre (Riverstone) development at the Lake City's front door is springing to life with new shops and restaurants, hundreds of residents and plans to build out the west end with apartment buildings, a regional transit center and possibly a new indoor sports arena for North Idaho College. There's also serious talk of adding a technology discovery center for kids and families, and finding a new home for the 90-year-old carousel that once spun fun at Playland Pier on Lake Coeur d'Alene. And community speculation about when specialty grocer Trader Joe's will land here never seems to fade. Stone, who turns 70 next month, is making the final brush strokes on his masterpiece/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
Question: Is it safe to say now that the Great Recession was the only reason that Riverstone hasn't boomed before now?
Riverstone Developers Have Big Plans
Developers have big plans for the final phases of Riverstone in Coeur d'Alene, including the high-profile west entrance along Seltice Way. Here are the highlights: An arena for college sports and community events is an idea that has been kicked around for several years. It emerged again in recent months, with North Idaho College looking at possibly owning and operating the venue. The 5,000-seat arena under consideration would cost an estimated $12 million to $15 million. Riverstone developer John Stone is enthusiastic about the project as an anchor on the west end of the development. The arena would provide an economic boost in the winter months when tourism falls off, he said/Scott Maben, SR. More here. (Kathy Plonka SR photo: Rita Sims-Snyder of the Coeur d'Alene Carousel Foundation talks about plans for the vintage carousel)
Question: Other proposals for the Riverstone site include a transit center, discovery center and site for the old Coeur d'Alene carousel. Are these things you could support for Coeur d'Alene?
Riverstone Wants $20K For Lot Lease
Riverstone West, LLC is asking Kootenai County to pay more than $20,000 a year to use a parking lot for community busing services, after the company has provided the lot for free for several years. The county can hardly be bitter, said Commissioner Dan Green. "I guess it's always nice getting it for free, we'll be disappointed we have to pay, but it's the gentleman's property," Green acknowledged. For roughly five years, developer John Stone has allowed vacant lots at the Riverstone development to be used for Citylink buses to pick up and deposit passengers. Riders have also parked their cars there. Those activities have been situated for about four years at a 1.4-acre dirt lot at East Seltice Way and West Riverstone Drive/Alecia Warren, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (Coeur d'Alene Press photo)
Question: Seems like a small price to pay for a good service. What do you think?
Developer Discusses Riverstone
In this 2007 SR file photo, developer John Stone stands in his burgeoning Riverstone development. Riverstone, the large multi-use development off Northwest Boulevard at Coeur d'Alene's western entrance, has been hit hard by the long recession.
John Stone has agreed, somewhat reluctantly, to be interviewed by North Idaho Business Journal at 11 a.m. on 11/11/11. He shows up at Starbucks, right on time, a Riverstone promotional packet in hand and a countenance on his serious face as gray as the November skies. It is the look of a man who devoted much of his time and more of his treasure to create and then shape this project over a dozen years, yet as he walks through the front door of the coffee shop he looks anything but triumphant/Mike Patrick, North Idaho Business Journal writer.

Drink In Stunning Views @ Bardenay
The shiny copper distilling equipment and stainless steel storage tanks at the entrance of the restaurant provide a glimpse of what's inside. Bardenay Restaurant and Distillery, with locations in Coeur d'Alene, Boise and Eagle, Idaho, is the first combination restaurant and distillery in this country. The name Bardenay comes from an obscure sailing term for any kind of celebratory drink, according to owner Kevin Settles. Overlooking the pond in the Village at Riverstone, the Coeur d'Alene location boasts outstanding views with its wraparound porch, tall glass windows and see-through fireplace. The booths and tables near the window provide the best view, or you can seek out a quieter spot in back with a view of the distillery/Kirsten Harrington, SR.

Riverstone Installing Infrastructure
The final public improvements could be complete within the next few months at Riverstone, a 160-acre residential and commercial project along the Spokane River in Coeur d'Alene. "We will have all of our infrastructure completed, and all of our lots will be available and ready to go with this last piece, so that feels pretty good," said Development Manager Mike Craven, of SRM Development. "We'll have more lots available and more choices." Coeur d'Alene's urban renewal agency, the Lake City Development Corp., recently approved $1.5 million in tax-increment financing, which helps the developer extend a road to the complex's final 11 lots. That brings the total of tax-increment financing used for the development since 2000 to $9.68 million/Alison Boggs, SR. More here. (SR photo: Jesse Tinsley)

Re: winter in glacier
Glacier Park in the winter is wonderful if you're into cross country skiing. Usually around the last part of October/first part of November, the road is closed for the season. Lots of people then use the Going-to-the-Sun road as a ski access to the Park. Day trips,usually. Totally depends on the weather that day if the trip will be sunny and nice or snowy. I live within sight of the park, so if you'd like any other info-just ask. I'm not a travel agent, so you won't get a pitch from me, just opinions. Have fun!

The campaign to hold the EC Griffith Cup on Lake Mulwala received a further boost with the news that high profile US driver Eliabeth Wolfe will attend.
E C Griffith Cup - http://www.yarrawongamulwala.com.au
The coup was organized by her good friend and great supporter of the Lake Mulwala Power event previous World Champion, Grant Harrison.
'Elizabeth is a highly respected,aggressive hydroplane driver who likes not only to win, but to go out and have fun while doing it,' Grant said.
She is part of the Johnson Wolfe Team, the team that has enjoyed a long history of proven success in the hydroplane racing across America.
Elizabeth will drive in Paul Norrish's 1.6ltr Oz Lite Hydroplane 'Times R Tuff' which won the Victorian Championship in his comeback drive at Mildura after a serious accident.
The boat is a bit older and certainly a lot slower than the boat she drives in North America, however Elizabeth is excited to compete here in Australia.
Based out of Chicago, Elizabeth Wolfe has been driving Inboard Hydroplanes for eight years. She has stepped up as the primary driver for the state of the art National Modified hull 'Desperado' in the US. Reaching speeds of over 140mph Elizabeth places competitively in the top three at every race that she finishes.
The VSBC (Victorian Speed Boat Club) is running the 'on water' side of the event, has sent out the application forms to all competitors. New Zealand will also be represented with three Grand Prix Hydroplane teams.
Great interest has been shown so far and the word is certainly out there according to Yarrawonga Mulwala Tourism events coordintor Barb Macdermid.
Greg and AnneMarie Bisogni owners of Babcon Cranes from Cobram, have once again committed to this event, offering all cranes and scissor lift equipment as a major sponsorship.
'We love being part of community events and are wrapped to be involved in the Power Boat Races on Lake Mulwala' Greg said.
We are extremely happy to be a major sponsor once again and can't wait for the action and the adrenalin rush that is part of some unbelievably high power action.'
'I wouldn't miss it for anything'.

A group of Los Angeles-based alumni, emerging architects and artists, will host a one-night-only exhibition on Saturday, May 16, at the Holiday Lodge Motel in Los Angeles. Dubbed A One-Night Stand for Art & Architecture, the event (complemented by an eponymous publication) explores different forms of media, but also new possibilities for architectural strategies of subversion.
Organized by alumni Ryan Tyler Martinez (M.Arch '12), Anthony Morney (B.Arch '14) and William Hu (B.Arch '13), the exhibition showcases work by more than 15 alumni of SCI-Arc.
Organizers describe the show as a single encounter without expectations of further exposure or presence of its participants. "Further relations may be explored; memories may be written but nothing is carried to tomorrow. We return to banality once the night is over. The stability, the safety of the norm is returned. We provoke you with a taste. This one-night, this one moment allows our vices, our desires and our minds to tease, penetrate and release."
The Holiday Lodge Motel is located at 1631 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90017. The event starts at 6pm. More details and a full list of participants can be found at onenightstand-la.com.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has selected alumni Peter Arnold (M.Arch '94) and Hadley Arnold (M.Arch '94) of Woodbury University's Arid Lands Institute as winners of the 2015 Latrobe Prize for their "Drylands Resilience Initiative: Digital Tools for Sustainable Urban Design in Arid and Semi-Arid Urban Centers." The Latrobe Prize, named for architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, is awarded biennially by the AIA College of Fellows for a two-year program of research leading to significant advances in the architecture profession.
ALI case studies explore areas that have extensive contamination, sites that are well suited to infiltration, and sites that are a combination of the two.
The $100,000 award will enable the Arid Lands Institute and its cross-disciplinary partners to further develop and test a proprietary digital design tool, known as "Hazel," that eventually will enable arid communities anywhere to design and build the infrastructure needed to capture, retain and distribute stormwater runoff. The jury was particularly impressed with the institute's research plan, the working partnerships that are part of the proposal, and the social justice at the center of the research.
As founders and co-directors of the Arid Lands Institute, Peter and Hadley Arnold aim to train designers and citizens to innovate in response to hydrologic variability brought on by climate change. Part of their research, they created a stormwater runoff model based on 30-year precipitation data, assessed soil types and ground surface impermeability, and analyzed zones contaminated with chemicals to pinpoint areas best suited for stormwater infiltration and capture.
Their Drylands Resilience Initiative addresses the critical global issue of securing low-carbon and sustainable urban water supplies within arid urban centers. The proposed technology to be funded by the Latrobe Prize builds on previous public and private sector funded research to maximize low-carbon localized water supply, shape water-smart urban planning, zoning and building policy, as well as develop pilot projects that are scalable and replicable.The resulting digital tool should enable engineers and architects to make more thoughtful decisions on the integration of stormwater capture and reuse in their projects.
SCI-Arc design faculty Ramiro Diaz-Granados (B.Arch '96) of Los Angeles-based Amorphis, in collaboration with alumnus Matthew Au (M.Arch '11), are currently at work on an interior intervention for a new building on the campus of Oregon State University.
Afterglow is built out of laser-cut aluminum sheets and anodized with gradient color.
Titled Afterglow, their design is being installed in the university's new Student Experience Center (SEC), aiming to inject a vibrantly colored set of surfaces that produce an atmospheric effect similar to afterglows—optical phenomena associated with the scattering of light particles during sunset, producing a range of warm rosy hues in the sky.
Their proposal adheres to and takes its cues from the building's architecture, serving as an eccentric counterpart to the building's exterior facades. While the exterior of the building is intended to be contextual with the larger campus setting and its neo-classical import, the interior lobby has baroque ambitions. The plan geometry that defines the lobby is comprised of irregular and overlapping shapes based on a composition of arcs. As a result, the building's interior has no single center, but several multiplied centers which are indexed in radial lines that break down the surfaces into strips, overwhelming the space with color, luminosity, shape and texture.
The main ceiling piece signals a frustration of the space with not terminating in a dome or atrium and is composed of an inverted ridgeline figure surrounding an ovoid plane of mirrored tiles. The tiling pattern is based on the orthographic projection of the hexagonal subdivisions of two intersecting domes.
Designed, fabricated and contracted by Amorphis in collaboration with Au, the project is scheduled to be completed at the end of April.
SCI-Arc alumna Jennifer Marmon (M.Arch '01) is one of AIA│LA's 2014 Presidential Honorees to be honored at the institute's upcoming Design Awards Ceremony this October. Her design studio, PAR, short for Platform for Architecture + Research, is being recognized as an Emerging Practice pushing the boundaries of design innovation and advancing Los Angeles architecture. As Marmon describes it, "PAR is a platform for mixing keen analysis, formal exploration and pragmatic performance in an effort to realize project potentials."
Clad in a translucent skin of fritted ETFE and high-performance glazing that encompasses roof, ceiling, wall and terrace, PAR's Taichung Cultural Center is oriented to optimize natural light and frame views of the nearby Taiwan Tower.
One of PAR's recent projects, the Taichung Cultural Center in Taiwan, was met with critical acclaim, receiving an International Architecture Award from The Chicago Athenaeum. In 2013, the Taichung city government invited architects to put forth their most daring visions for an expansive new cultural center. The tilted loop structure designed by PAR (shown here) sought to integrate the programmed elements of a library and a museum with an outdoor gallery and an open urban plaza. The structure's form, replete with ramps and stairs that create connections throughout its stacked diagonal orientation, produces a dynamic space meant to attract curious passers-by who drift into the central plaza.
PAR has offices in Los Angeles (shown above) and New York City

Two projects by SCI-Arc alumnae Laurel Consuelo Broughton (M.Arch '06) and Mimi Zeiger (M.arch '98) have been selected for the international WorldWide Storefront (WWSF) series organized by the Storefront for Art and Architecture this upcoming fall.
The initiative includes a simultaneous, multi-locus of alternative spaces around the globe, coupled with a digital platform for the expression and exchange of latent desires within contemporary art and architecture practices.
Laurel Broughton's entry, Gallery Attachment, developed together with Andrew Kovacs, will feature a space designed and constructed under a bridge in Los Angeles. It will serve simultaneously as an architectural object and as a container for a series of events, exhibitions and performances.
Mimi Zeiger's Host: Natural Histories will be located at The Neutral VDL Research Site in the Silverlake district of Los Angeles. The project explores the multivalent meaning of the word "host": a talk-show host, a parasitic host body, a host house or city, via an exhibition and series of events.
From September 19 to November 21, 2014 the 10 selected entries located around the world will open simultaneously, offering a two-month program of exhibitions and events. Recordings of the events will be broadcast through the WWSF online platform and presented at the Storefront for Art and Architecture Gallery in the installation WWSf Portal, a collaborative design by Marc Fornes and Jana Winderen.

SCI-Arc alumna Barbara Bestor (M.Arch '92), principal of Los Angeles-based Bestor Architecture, has joined forces with eco-conscious local developer LocalConstruct to design and build her current project, The Blackbirds.
Located in the LA neighborhood of Echo Park, The Blackbirds is described by Bestor as a pedestrian-friendly development that introduces "stealth density" to its eclectic neighborhood. Its design is linked to the Dutch "Woonerf" concept—which stands for 'living street'— proposing a communal space around which a "micro-community" can thrive.

This small lot, subdivision housing project presented Bestor and her team with the perfect opportunity to explore creative housing solutions on tight lots. Its 15-house units are clustered around an internal living street which promotes neighbor interactions and community participation.

The musical performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio this spring were not the only experiences that were larger than life to its 90,000 daily visitors. The art collective Poetic Kinetics, which includes SCI-Arc alum Nick Kinney (M.Arch 2 '10) as well as Kristy Velasco (B.Arch '13) and Richard Nam ('11), was selected again to design an installation for the vast festival grounds, known for its creative and often iconic large-scale projects and sculptures. Last year, Poetic Kinetics erected a 30-foot snail, which slid between festivalgoers during the two-weekend event.
This year, Kinney was the lead designer for Escape Velocity, a giant 60 foot tall interactive and animatronic astronaut which made its way around the festival. Along with Patrick Shearn, president at Poetic Kinetics, Kinney and the team worked tirelessly for months to turn their idea into an impressive reality. In describing the process, Kinney writes, "…I had had experience fabricating complex objects at SCI-Arc, [and] the Astronaut was no different." The process revolved around 3D modeling the Astronaut to work within the dimensions of a lift that would act as its structural skeleton and be disguised to transport it around Coachella.
The massive feat was pulled off in a symphony of moving parts, from finalizing detailed drawings, to rigging trusses, to stitching together the fabric of the moving space traveler.
The Astronaut's visor even allowed festivalgoers to interact with the project by displaying their images on its LED screen. In an age of social media, the Coachella Astronaut quickly gained a following and became a consistent backdrop to countless photos and videos posted online. Even Big Boi, member of renowned hip hop duo Outkast, posted an image of Escape Velocity with the caption "1.5hrs to liftoff" before their hugely anticipated headlining performance.

Wow, the things one thinks about on the commute.
So I'm riding in this morning and the following analogies came to me.
The Road Race Bike: This is the Mistress of bikes. Hot, fast, looks (and is) expensive, plasticky and polished in all it's carbon fiber and titanium glory. She gets the looks everywhere you go. Other guys (and some girls) are jealous. Even if you're not riding her, you love to just sit and look at her and fantasize about her. You can ride her hard and fast and she loves it, begging for more. She only gets ridden occasionally when you can sneak in the time, but when you do it's on... oh it's SO on... for hours without stopping or just for nourishment. But when you're done, you're done. You hang her up until next time and go about your everyday life.
The Mountain Bike: This is the Stripper of bikes. And they come in all shapes and sizes. Cheap or expensive. Hard tails, soft tails, 26's, 29'ers, even the occasional 650b if that's your poison. The mountain bike wasn't meant to be ridden in public (although some of you freaks like to anyway). She gets taken out into the woods, the back country, where no one will find you and see what despicable things you two are up to. When I said you ride the Race Bike hard, you don't go overboard. You still respect her. But not the Mountain Bike. She takes a licking and keeps on ticking, and this just makes you want to push her harder. Spanking that bike all over the trails and she's loving every minute of it, screaming for more... even if she is faking it, you don't care. She's a dirty little strumpet of a bike. The dirtier she gets, the more fun she is to ride. No babying this one. And when you're done... you need a long shower to get rid of all the filth... the dirty dirty filth. Bring lots of rubber, you're going to need it.
The Commuter Bike: This is the Wife of bikes. This is the bike you bring home to Mom. If you could have only one bike, this would be it. She versatile. She can take you to work, take the kids to school, go to the grocery store and all your other errands. She's not limited to one kind of road, although you won't find her in the extremes, either. She's not that kind of bike. The Commuter comes in lots of different variations. Some are lanky and fast, some are pudgy and slow, some are athletic, some are flexible and compact. Some are gorgeous on the outside, but all are gorgeous on the inside. The Commuter is reliable and dependable, but not indestructible. The Commuter needs love, respect and the occasional pampering, but she is also strong... sometimes surprisingly so. What you give will be returned, two fold. Treat her right and she will be with you for the long haul. Forever.

Vans Shop Riot 2012 European Finals
A Skateboarding video by Vans Shop Riot - 1,714 views
SHOP RIOT 2012: RESULTS Münster, GERMANY (OCTOBER 15th, 2012) The next generation of European Skaters shed light on the future of progression at the 2012 Shop Riot Finals with innovative skating, creativity and technical tricks. Streetmarket's team out of the Czech Republic edged-out Portugal's young & hungry team from Ericeira Shop, winning first place and the coveted prize of Kingpin's upcoming editorial coverage of the team in their home city of Prague. The weekend event started out Saturday with special qualification rounds that allowed each invited team the chance to skate the street course of Münster's Skaters Palace on their own, skating their hardest and showing the crowd and everyone in attendance how truly special this unique event is. The judges had the toughest job of the day, tackling the difficult decision of awarding 8 teams the coveted spots in Sunday's final round. This high-level session finished with a best-trick contest for riders to showcase their best moves on 2 selected obstacles of the street course. Jacopo Carozzi, from Contest Shop (ITALY) did a couple of gnarly tricks but the judge's choice was his amazing kickflip transfer to lipslide on the curb cut. On the second obstacle, Sweden's finest, Fernando Bramsmark from Streetlab Skateshop almost simultaneously landed a Nollie Flip backside Nose blunt slide on the Bank to Ledge. These were unanimously judged to be the best moves of the session, and the 500€ of prize money was split equally to reward both riders. The high energy ending of the day at Münster's Skaters Palace lead straight into the night with the Monster Party at Clubschiene Münster. It was a great night, where all the teams had good times, either killing it on the dance floor, or hanging around and having a drink together, sharing their views & experience on skateboarding, congratulating each other for the tricks they've landed during the day, and even talking about eventual future invitations in their respective countries: that's probably one of the greatest things about the amazing concept that is Shop Riot! On Sunday, the 8 qualified teams were in really good shape, ready to rock for the Quarter Finals of the Vans Shop Riot 2012. Black Sheep (UK), the winners of last year's Shop Riot, were literally on fire, with Eddie Belvedere landing an incredible transfer frontside nosegrind on the curb of the driveway, the Germans from Titus Berlin, with Pascal Reif & his big frontside kickflip to flat, were killing it as well, same thing for the Ben-G team from Holland, the Spanish team of Antidot and the Italians from Contest. However, the "battle" format of this contest creates no room for error, and the 2 finalists that fought their way to the top were Czech riders from Streetmarket, skating against the Portuguese kids from Ericeira Shop. After almost 10 minutes of a crazy session, with such a high standard of tricks, Maxim Habanec, Martin Pek & Lukas Danek from Streetmarket won the first place, leaving the second to the young guns from Portugal's Ericeira Shop: Afonso Nery, Anibal Martins, Bruno Senra & Tiago Lopes, who ranged in age from 12 to 17 years old!! This year's Shop Riot was definitely the beginning of a new era. Along with solid skaters with heavy skills, the future of European Skateboarding showed everyone what kind of incredible riders are coming up! Check out Vans shop photos & video edit, coming up really soon at www.vans.com and facebook.com/vanseurope. RESULTS: - BEST RIDER OF THE WEEKEND: (500€) JACOPO CAROZZI - BEST TRICK CONTEST: (500€ TO BE SHARED) JACOPO CAROZZI: KICKFLIP TRANSFER FRONTSIDE LIPSLIDE ON THE CURB CUT. FERNANDO BRAMSMARK: NOLLIE FLIP BACKSIDE NOSEBLUNT SLIDE ON THE BANK TO LEDGE - SECOND BEST TEAM OF THE YEAR: (1600€) ERICEIRA SHOP, PORTUGAL - BEST TEAM OF THE YEAR: (2400€) STREET MARKET (CZ REPUBLIK)

Review: AppZapper
Fast, easy, well-designed uninstaller for Tiger (July 27th, 2006)
MacNN Rating:
Product Manufacturer: Austin Sarner and Brian Ball
Price: $12.95 (single), $18 (4 user)
The Good
- Simple. Fun. Effective. Try before you buy. Great icon.
The Bad
- ZapGenie doesn't work on external drives. Only email support. Mac OS X 10.4.x only.
AppZapper is one of those Whoa! applications. It is small , useful, and leaves you wondering, "Why didn't I think of that?" And, its oh so pretty. The icon is one of wonders!
Uninstall Programs easilyAppZapper simply uninstalls applications and all their files they scatter around your drive. It'll remove any cache files, library files, preferences, and the application itself, safely and quickly. You can even select which application files to delete. Plus, it's oddly fun too. It only runs in Tiger though, so there's your good reason to upgrade an old system.
To uninstall an application you merely drop it into the AppZapper window, or onto the application icon. This makes it very easy to leave the app in your Dock and drag any unwanted applications onto it. Upon dropping an application into AppZapper, a dialog lists all of the applications' associated files. You choose exactly the files to delete. Want to keep your Firefox cache but not your preferences? That's not a problem. Just click the appropriate checkboxes for the pieces to remove. AppZapper even notes the path to the listed files. Then you click Zap; I feel this should actually say Zap! but I won't mark them down on this. With an oddly exciting sound, the application vanishes. If you've done the unthinkable and removed an application that you really want, just navigate to your Trash and recover it manually. A log file, accessible from the Window menu, keeps track of how ruthless you've been.
Built-in delete protectionYou designate safe applications, ones you never want deleted, by dragging them to a safe window in the General Preferences. By default you cannot remove any of the iLife applications, or applications that are currently running. You can also remove Widgets, Screen Savers, Preference Panes, and application plug-ins.
Multiple Uninstalls with ZapGenieA new addition to AppZapper 1.6.0 is the ZapGenie. ZapGenie shows you every single little application on your start up drive and sorts them by the date last used. From this list, you can select multiple applications and Zap them. Annoyingly, it doesn't list the size of these applications.
Ironically, every application that hadn't been used in over two years was part of Microsoft Office. (Editor's Note: I tested this little utility and found applications installed with AppleWorks that hadn't been used in seven years. I could not get ZapGenie to recognize any application folders installed on external drives, but AppZapper worked okay with applications dragged from those drives.)
AppZapper makes uninstalling programs as easy as installing them, and in some cases, easier. It is not only simple, but great fun at a very reasonable price.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
Lawyer charged with 2008 theft of client's settlement
A western Wisconsin lawyer has been charged with forgery and theft of a client's $10,500 insurance settlement six years ago.
William Lamb, 53, of Menomonie, got the money and deposited it in his own account back in 2008, according to a criminal complaint filed in Dunn County. Lamb and the client had agreed Lamb would be entitled to a fee of ten percent of any settlement.
But the client didn't go to police until last year. After years of getting the run around from Lamb, the client finally contacted the insurance company Lamb had sued on his behalf in a 2007 personal injury claim. The insurer sent him a copy of the settlement check made out to -- and endorsed by -- Lamb and the client. But the client's signature was a forgery.
Lamb is facing three felonies -- forgery, uttering and theft of more than $10,000. His first court appearance is scheduled for April 15.
Lamb was suspended from practice of law for 60 days in 2011. for four matters involving his collection fees from clients and then failng to take promised action on their behalf or keep they informed of the status of their cases.
He remains suspended in 2014.
The state Department of Justice is prosecuting Lamb, because as a lawyer he had dealings with the Dunn County District Attorney's office, posing a potentional conflict of interest.

Cop found dead after double murderComment on this story
Carnavon, Northern Cape - A police officer who killed his girlfriend and her mother was found dead in Carnarvon on Thursday, Northern Cape police said.
Constable Serame Mpolokeng had been sought for the murder of his girlfriend Zola Malleta, 24, and her mother Sara Malleta, 54, Lt Olebogeng Tawana said.
Mpolokeng stabbed his girlfriend several times with a bottle on December 13. He ran away when the police arrived at the crime scene. His girlfriend was taken to Carnarvon Hospital. He went there later that day and found her. Her mother was visiting her. He shot and killed both women and went on the run.
A farmer walking in the veld found Mpolokeng's body on Thursday after following the smell of decomposition.
The officer's service pistol and two cellphones were found next to him. His car keys were in his pocket.
Tawana said Mpolokeng might have shot himself. - Sapa

Zenair Marks Its 40th Year
Over the years, Zenair designs have set a number of world records – including longest distance flown non-stop by CH 300 for any aircraft in its category (Trans-Canada flight - 1978). While the majority of Heintz' varied designs are used around the world for personal recreation, they are also used for glider towing, agricultural spraying and flight training. Thanks to their excellent off-airport capabilities, some are even used for missionary work and anti-poaching missions in remote African locations.
As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, Zenair Ltd. is planning a fly-in/Open House event at its facilities on Saturday July 19th. A week later, one of its aircraft kits (a STOL CH 750) will be fully assembled and tested during the seven-day AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in Wisconsin. This "One Week Wonder" project will mirror similar feats accomplished by Zenair in the nineties.
"We hope that many join us for these exciting events" says Michael Heintz, company spokesman. "Thousands of our kits have been assembled by builders over the past forty years and the July 19th fly-in will give many past and current builders, owners and enthusiasts an opportunity to meet again and to visit the birthplace of their homebuilt aircraft."
For more information on Zenair, its aircraft kits and/or planned events for the company's 40th Anniversary celebrations, visit www.zenair.com
