"Information about Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China" Pudong by crewrower
Pudong Travel Guide: 22 reviews and 34 photos
I have lived and worked in Pudong since August 2004. I would be glad to try and answer any questions you may have about Pudong, or about Shanghai in general.
Pudong literally means East of Huangpu. Pudong is bounded by the Huangpu river in the west and the East China Sea in the east. It has an area of 522.8 km² and a population of approximately 1.5 million people.
Pudong used to be mainly farmland and countryside until 1990, when the Chinese government decided to set up a Special Economic Zone in the district. The western tip of the Pudong district is the new financial hub of the modern China called the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone. Several landmark buildings were constructed in Lujiazui during 1990s to raise the image and awareness of the area. These include the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jin Mao Building (the tallest in China). Currently under construction is the Mori Building, located next to the Jin Mao Building, which will be even taller.
Thanks to everyone who has given ratings to my Pudong tips. I don't know if trying to build a page that is about only half of one city is useful or not, so your ratings are good encourage to me to continue building this page! Thanks
I worked in the Jinmao Tower from 2004-2006, and walked by this building on the way to work or lunch, and could see it from my office. Now I'm working in a downtown part of Puxi, Shanghai

Hi Crewrower, I actually live very close to this church (in Tangtown) and bike every weekend. Send me a message if you ever come this way and i can show you other places in the neighbourhood. Check my blog at vansteenblogen.blogspot.com
Thanks for the review.. but I think it would be a little more useful if you added the phone number as well. The address isn't too useful if you show it to a cab driver.
Thank you for visiting my Harbin page. I want to go back to China. Perhaps I'll be able to come to Shanghai in 2009. You make Pudong seem more interesting than what I've heard so far. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you've been riding your bike around Pudong. -- Not everybody can say they work in the Jinmao Tower.
Hi Chris. Great insights here about your former home. Fascinating facts and good photos, my ratings are definitely with you! Greetings from Dubai :-) Jess
Good info. here but I would like to read more about your impressions of (your) life in Pudong/Shanghai, and about major sites. The Moon River restaurant would make me homesick.
Pu dong should be included in shanghai ? NO? hi, where is the updated information about shanghai.? why i could not find it . tell me :)
Hi ! sorry i read your codent just today. Things are kind of calmer now in Kinshasa and lets hope it stay that way. Just read your page and liked it.
Good information - also for someone who has just moved to Shanghai (me) I was attracted by the city you live in - Pudong because we usually refer it as Shanghai. I also work in Pudong - Bank of China Tower :-)
Hi,Chris! Oh, we wish we could have met you during our Shanghai trip last year! Wow, you are working in the Jinmao Tower! (We drank cocktails on the 87th? floor with great scenery)

text: Understandably overlooked in the news today was the news (see the NYT and Jalopnik) that ailing Chrysler just sold 35% of itself to Fiat, which hasn't imported cars to America since the '80s. Why should Seattle drivers care? Because Fiat makes super cool subcompacts like the revived 500 (pictured above with its ghostly post-war predecessor to the rear), which rival the Mini and other European brands. The 500 is cheaper, comes with a variety of high-mileage engines (including diesel), and is more awesome than anything Chrysler ever manufactured. If the Obama administration wants to help Chrysler, autoworkers, and budget-conscious motorists during the current recession, it should permit the Fiat 500 and other European small cars to be imported here immediately. (They're perfectly safe and non-polluting; only our federal crash and emissions regulations don't perfectly square with the Europeans'.) Not only would that introduce more economic competition where it's needed in the auto sector, but Seattle buyers wouldn't have to wait so long to get that precious Smart Car or Prius delivered. If you pulled up to the Roosevelt PCC in a Fiat 500, I guarantee you'd have the coolest ride in the parking lot.

hey ladies.. I took the nuchal screaning test yesterday i was 13 weeks and 6 days.. I have identical twins and one saperate twin ..the doctor had a hard time checking the twins hearts kidneys and faces because they were moving ..so she checked there back bone fluid ..and one of them had 3.0 mm and the other 3.1mm of fluid she said 2.5mm is concidered high risk ..my age is 26 ..so she said the risk is 1.77 : 1000 . the saperate baby had 2.5mm fluid and the ratio 1 : 1000 .so she told me to comeback when i be 16 weeks to check if the fluid reduced..what do you think i should do.. i dont want to risk miscarrying them...please tell me if you had same prediction and the babies were fine

My girls (now I know identical) had similar numbers (can't remember off the top of my head but think I made a post here) and had risks of 1 in 50 and 1 in 150 - higher than yours I'm sure because I'm 31. The MFM could see all of their organs and there were no other signs indicating trisomy. I refused more testing, because I knew I'd love my girls no matter what. The MaterniT21 test is non invasive though and may be a good fit for you. Any worry I had was for nothing as they were born perfectly healthy without Downs.
Also, I don't know what kind of numbers your Dr. expects to get at 16 weeks, as I was told the measurements only have a correlation to trisomy until the end of week 13. I'd check in that one!

They checked mine at around 14 weeks all less then 3, they told me that was the number they wanted it below. Then they cheked again when I was there at 21 weeks and they said they want it less then 6 at that point. I lost one 2 years ago due to Downs with a Cystic Hygroma (which is found by the nuchal fold test) the measurement on that one was 11.1mm.

Popcorn can be boring. As much as I love butter and salt, and I do love butter and salt, shoveling greasy handfuls of soggy popcorn
Popcorn can be boring. As much as I love butter and salt, and I do love butter and salt, shoveling greasy handfuls of soggy popcorn into my facehole gets old within a few bites. Luckily, we don't have to rely on Orville and Redenbacher for the flavors we crave. Using tapioca maltodextrin, a modified starch with an amazing talent for dehydrating fats, we can create flavored powders from a wide variety of foods. In this recipe, we're powdering duck fat to get all the flavor without the oily mess. If you're a popcorn fan, don't just stop here--you can use the same basic technique for blue cheese and hot sauce, smoked salmon and cream cheese, barbecue, white chocolate, or any number of other bold toppings.
Makes: enough to season one bag of microwave popcorn, amply.
Total kitchen time: 15 minutes
Shopping list:
This technique works best when powdering pure fats like duck fat or olive oil. For powdering other fatty substances like cheeses, you will need to increase your ratio of maltodextrin and combine with the other ingredients in a blender. It will turn into a thick, sticky goop, which you can spread thinly onto parchment and dehydrate in a low oven for a few hours. When it's brittle, drop it into a clean coffee grinder and pulse until you've got powder! For an example, see the powdered cheese I made for my Most Pretentious Mac & Cheese Ever.

General Comments
This book has Comprehensive info on the people of Guyana, South America. Although I do not have the latest edition, I find it an invaluable resource in tracing the history of my parents country. If you are Guyanese, or interested in the country, buy this book now! I did not write a Value For Money rating as the book was a gift.

In "The Hidden", players choose the role of either a near invisible killer, Subject 617, or one member of an Intercept squad who have to capture him, I.R.I.S. In the simple but challenging gameplay of an 'one against all'? mode, Subject 617 creeps/sneaks through the maps armed only with a knife and three pipe bombs. The IRIS team carry a selection of weaponry, fully customisable at round start, from F2000 assault rifles through to shotguns or sub machine guns as well as a pistol as a secondary weapon.
However, they can hardly see Subject 617 as, just like the 'Predator', only the outline of his silhouette is visible. On top of that the Hidden also moves a little faster and has many abilites such as pouncing, wall grabbing, corpse pinning and the fatal pigsticker attack. Therefore co-operation is necessary for I.R.I.S. if they wish to prevail (if they dont want to become the prey/victim themselves).
This leads to an outstanding gaming experience on public servers: The I.R.I.S team creep/sneak through the corridors, back to back & covering each other whilst Subject 617 lurks in dark corners choosing his time to attack. The player who finally kills the Hidden takes over the role & from then on he can roam like a ghost through the corridors.
In the early 1950's human genetics experimentation was taking its first, tentative, steps. Amongst many other black projects, a team of British scientists working at a Infinitum Research experimental station stumbled across some remarkable phenomenon involving DNA manipulation. This led to deeper research with dangerously unpredictable results, often leading to human patients losing their lives in irresponsible and immoral experiments.
Time passed on, and by the mid 1990's the failure rate of the experiments had been reduced from 75% to a mere 15%, enough for Infinitum to move onto the next stage, Biological Light Refraction. The British team were hoping to unravel the possibilities of light manipulation to create the perfect covert military agent. Early into the new millennium, due to a gross miscalculation, a series of tests on Subject 617 led to a massive synaptic trauma leaving the patient with multiple genetic anomalies.
The subject was left in constant pain and with unstable DNA. The subject escaped captivity, killing anyone that got in its way, the I.R.I.S (Infinitum Research Intercept Squad) team have been deployed to return the subject to a maximum security Infinitum Research facility for further study and dissection. The entire project was considered a failure, all funding ceased and development was discontinued. All records and traces of the experiments were destroyed. Infinitum Research denies all knowledge of any form of human DNA manipulation but are more than happy to comment on the possibilities of cloning human organs inside suitable animal donors. It is believed that these organ cloning experiments form the main cover for their human genetic manipulation experimentation.
As the I.R.I.S team close their net around it, subject 617, known as The Hidden must turn the tables becoming the hunter instead of the hunted!
Vist the website Hidden-source.com
While it's not Beta 5, we felt that enough's enough and that we had to get something out the door. So while this update does nothing on the code side of things (we didn't want to go back and try and jury-rig the old code base into a releaseable state - the additional problems that would create would be endless!) it does update the mods steamappid to 215 (we appreciate that a number of players and servers have already done this, but with this update everyone should be on the same playing field and we should have no more problems with one group being unable to play on certain servers!)
We've scrapped Manor (if you've been following the forum, you'll be aware of this) but rather than leave you with one less map, we've fixed up hdn_origin by removing the lag inducing shakes and replaced manor with the much more atmospheric and decidely sexy Decay.
Aside from those major changes, this update includes a number of alterations to materials and models and includes a whole new look and feel to the menus and front end! Though keep in mind, we have held back some art updates for Beta 5, just so we've got some new shinies to go along with the new gameplay mode and feature set.
NOTE: This update breaks compatibility between 4A clients and 4B servers (and vice versa) due to material alterations.
Ahha, a progress report! While I do not exactly bring the best of news, in that this is not going to give you a date for our next release, it should at...

Boxy's always over eager with release dates - I say "weekend" he thinks "thursday" when I actually mean sunday...
Take from that what you will...
We dont have a concrete release date but it will be soon, i will try to host it on fileplant, filefront pcgamemods, firecloud and osme other popular file hosters.
Next release you have to put it on file planet
That's a nice changelog, but do you have a release date for the next public release to go with it?
pounce only when on the floor :(
This mod totally rocks its even better than gmod and CS:S, cant wait for the next update :D
It is the same version just in a .zip format, unfortunately there are not many servers but not too worry there are 3 ways too counter this one search for servers at the right time. 2 make your own server by clicking create server then typing sv_lan 0 when the server starts in console. 3 make a LAN server and play with bots by typing bot_add in console. Because this mod hasn't updated in months and lots of mods like Plan of attack, Gary's mod v8 and hl2ctf 1.4
there aren't many servers at all luckily tho when the next updated comes out there will be lots more servers and an official server.
What version is that Qwertyz? I downloaded about 2-3 days ago, sounded very cool.. no servers. at all.
Here is a .zip version of the mod hosted on filefront Files.filefront.com
I will try to get the .exe one up when i have more time.
Here are all the details of next release Moddb.com
As for the bug thats very strange report it in the hidden source forums.
Highest Rated (2 agree) 10/10
One the most fun Source mods out there, even in just a beta form.
Easily deserving a 10/10.
Tip for IRIS players: Hunt the Hidden, don't let him hunt you.
Fun thing for Hidden players: Get really good at playing as the Hidden, then play against about 3 noob IRIS players, and scare the hell outta them. :D

I decided to make this thread, because this is my favorite video game series of all time. since we have some gamers on the forum, I thought that I would make this thread so that the fans of this series could talk about and post news on the series.
I still remember when I first played the first Resident Evil, back on May 3, 1996 (yea man its a holiday to me haha). Ever since that day, I've been a hardcore (junkie level) fan of this video game series.
I'm still hoping that Capcom releases Biohazard/Resident Evil 1.5, the original RE2 version of the game. I also prefer the original Japanese name of the game "Biohazard", over "Resident Evil". After all it was a biohazardous virus that caused the chaos in the storyline.
My favorite character is Leon S. Kennedy, and my favorite monster is William Birkin aka the "G" monster. I wish that Capcom made a REmake of Resident Evil 2, in the form of how they remade the first game.
I know that they released "Darkside Chronicles", and it follows the events of RE2 and RE Code Veronica.... And they will be releasing "Operation Raccoon City", in the Winter. Here's a few clips of the upcoming game.
The trailer
I guess that will have to do for now. But nothing beats the original 3rd person view, of the original games though.

The Oscars
The glittering 81st Annual Academy Awards have just ended, showering prestigious honors on its winners, and pumping lots of money into the economy.
February 23, 2009 4:38 by Aarti Nagraj
The statuette
The much-coveted trophy was designed by MGM art director Cedric Gibbons, as a statuette of a knight standing on a reel of film gripping a crusader's sword, and the actual statue was made by sculptor George Stanley. The film reel features five spokes: actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers.
The trophy was officially named the Academy Award of Merit, but the name Oscar apparently came up after the Academy librarian (and later executive director) Margaret Herrick, after seeing it for the first time, said that the statue resembled her Uncle Oscar. The Academy adopted the nickname officially in 1939.
The Oscar is 13½ inches tall and weighs 8½ pounds and is made by RS Owens and Company, a Chicago-based awards manufacturer. The original statuettes were gold-plated solid bronze, but a few years later, bronze was ditched for Britannia metal, an alloy, which is then plated in copper, nickel silver, and finally, 24-karat gold.
More than 2,720 statuettes have been presented since 1929.

Mickey T Sidebiter Wheels?
I've been looking at wheels to put on my 2009 wrangler sahara...and I'm liking the M/T Sidebiters...but they are only sold in black gloss. Not sure if the gloss would look good as opposed to a matte finish. (My Jeep is black). Does anyone have these wheels and/or pictures?

Rob Van Dam houses
During a recent interview, Rob Van Dam gave us a little glimpse of his private life. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he owns two homes. One is in Los Angeles, and the other is in Las Vegas. RVD stated that he loved both cities, so he travels back and forth between the two houses. His lifestyle is a big reason why he chooses to only do professional wrestling on a part time basis.

Several things...
1. I'd love it if you could scan the plans for this bird. It looks particularly fun.
2. Your prop is too small. Your model is of a competitive weight, but you'll not get much past 70-80 seconds with that little prop. I know because I've tried. I built a fantastic 23" SAI 207 some years ago (only 22 grams!) and flew it on a Peck 8". It used the same crazy number of winds as what you've got going on, and it was an 80 second airplane. Finally, in desperation, I made a real prop for it--a carved 11" prop with a P/D around 1.5, which is pretty high obviously. That transformed the model. It would fly 85 seconds on a little 15% motor which only took 850 turns. I was getting a minute indoors without really trying, and the monster motor I'd been using with that Peck 8" now gave me 2 1/2 minute flights.
3. If you really want to be competitive in WWII mass launch, there's the hard way and the easy way. The hard way is building these little planes super light and putting big props on them. Folks used to do that at Johnson City--you'd see little peanut scale Mustangs managed to stay up for 2 1/2 minutes. Well those folks didn't show up last year so a 2 minute flight was a win. I did that the easy way--brand new model, tired old motor that couldn't take full power, etc. And it took no real effort to make my plane do 2 minutes. Why? Well it's a thing called size. A 37" model will fly 2 minutes way easier that a peanut, so I could beat a peanut pretty easy because if I really push that plane, it'll do 3+ just because it's huge and a 14" prop is really efficient compared to a 6" prop.
4. I'll just throw out the thought that perhaps the best flying WWII subject I've worked with is the Judy. That's what I flew at USIC--flew almost right off the board in perfect right hand circles. Frank Rowsome has a little one, about 18" span, and it climbs like a rocket. No bad habits whatsoever.
So there are my thoughts on the whole thing. If you like little models, they're fine and can be made to be fairly competitive, but if you're willing to make plug-in wings and tails, you can have a huge, winning airplane without much trouble, and it's easy to rig for a DT, and it makes everybody stop what they're doing when you fly it. And you don't have to build very light. I believe my Judy is around 130 grams empty.

Hi Josh
Some good thoughts here so allow me to respond in a bit of detail....
If you want the plan of the P-40- if you shoot me your addy, I'll send you hard copy but it's basically just a blow up of the Comet plan.
I've never flown in anything near as large as Johnson City-the largest indoor site I fly at is Glastonbury. The site in Winthrop is a lot smaller. Your J-1 looks sweet.
Thanks for explaining how people did 2 1/2 minutes with peanuts- I always thought that was just based on height, but it sounds like there are some other tricks involved- like monster props and very light weight....We're flying with a two minute max- and we may start reducing points over 1 minute like FAC nationals. (its harder to score)
In terms of plastic props versus wood props in mass launch events.....I've occasionally built a few wood props for my airplanes- generally using molded prop blades although I've even carved a prop or two in my day (badly). My first scale ship that broke a minute was a Corben Super Ace with a molded blade wood prop- and that was many years ago. After that flight, I never got it much over 45 seconds. One of these days I'll build another. My Sturmovik exemplified the problem....I built that airplane using the kit wood and it was as light as anything I've ever built. I tried flying it on a plastic prop but it was too heavy- needed too much tail weight, so I bit the bullet and built a wood prop for it. I think the best I ever did with the airplane was 50 seconds. Why? Well, the added plastic parts and paint didn't help- but the airfoil wasn't as thin as it should be. The biggest problem though was the airplane just fell apart- every time I was in an event- another stringer on the fuse would break. (That airplane exemplified starved horse). I could never trim it out well and often the trimming session would end with a broken prop. I'm also trying to fly a Bellanca Junior in Golden Age, and I've been eliminated out because of a broken prop on more than one occasion but its my only Golden Age ship currently that fits our mass launch rules...(it has retracted wheels, but its been grandfathered- we're not that crazy about the new FAC rules....)
One of the best builders I know is Tom Nallen II (the Tom Nallen around my age). Years ago, he tried flying his beautiful Vickers Wellesley in our mass launch event in Glastonbury. Some bozo flying a beat up P-39 came around and whacked him out of the air doing a fair amount of damage. (umm, that bozo would be me....and I felt awful.) In terms of which airplane could stay in the air the longest- the Wellesley probably had an easy 30 seconds on everything else- and my P-39 could break a minute. But the Wellesley couldn't take a hit from another airplane which really makes building something hyper lightweight problematic in a mass launch event- since these airplanes collect war wounds flying inside. We launch very close to each other because you want to center the airplane- and we stand (or kneel) along a single line. Tom's airplane was both beautiful and really lightweight (think it was published in MA) and he used wood sizes a lot smaller than I was accustomed too- think the LE was 1/32" square for example. Heck, I still build peanuts with 1/20"! Tom flies his hyper light stuff in scale and is untouchable- his airplanes are both beautiful and exceed 90 seconds- he's been flying a Japanese trainer (can't remember which one but it has fixed wheels) and a Heath LNB-4 (I think I've got that right) but in mass launch? Well, the Japanese trainer isn't legal in WWII but he might have flown the Heath in Winthrop which took a lot of guts. In WWII though, he's been flying a Brewster Buccaneer with a carved prop and a metric tonne of rubber for 15 years or so. He now aims at my Mustang trying to knock it down on launch. (I have a host of friends....) The Buccaneer is no lightweight though.
Pete Kateris once flew an I-16 which terrified me (and I think most of us) being a heavy, fast airplane with a lot of rubber on a 9" plastic prop. He likes flying outdoor airplanes inside which can work, but definitely adds to the pucker factor.
Why no Coconuts? Simple- we have a 24" wingspan limit on mass launch events. Also, I have a small car and I can travel with kids- my airplanes have to fit into a single U-Haul box when I'm flying in Winthrop.
About the Judy- I got into an email exchange with Don DeLoach about why wasn't the Judy on the list of approved airplanes at Midway and I think it has more to do with the perception that it's a killer airplane than historical accuracy (the Japanese flew two of them and one of them kept tabs on the Yorktown allowing the Japanese to attack her- seems to me that the airplane played a critical role in the battle... but I digress...) I keep hoping Dave Diels will bring out a kit- don't want to get into making canopies. (Hey- I never said I wasn't lazy).
Here are my thoughts on what works in our indoor events...
1) The airplane must be consistent. We fly lots of rounds- often more than 6, so an airplane that gets good flights 4 out of 5 times doesn't hack it- or you have to get lucky.
2) The airplane must be able to take a nudge from either the ceiling or a competitor. Having an airplane that gets killer times but falls out of trim and can't regain its equilibrium from some wake turbulence is a problem. Sooner or later airplanes will get hit. You can't build for that eventuality, but it makes flying something hyper light really risky.
3) The airplane that can put up the best single flight time does not necessarily win. Rich Zapf has proven that one time and time again.
4) The airplane must be in line with what other folks are flying and have the respect of the competitors. Stretching things so that you wind up with a cartoonish airplane may win, but there will be grumbling in the ranks.
5) Must be easy to wind- blast tubes are frowned upon. I don't like fancy prop hooks either- I have trouble with the reverse S-hook in battle. I have enough trouble that the Mustang uses two loops, rather than a single loop.
The advantage of these unofficial rules is that we're able to get some newbies flying with us who aren't completely intimidated-the Stealth Squadron seems to be better at attracting new blood than Glastonbury- they're younger guys. If you want to go for ultimate times- people are encouraged to enter scale, but mass launch events are a bit rough and tumble...hence, plastic props often work better than wood...
With respect to your comment that I need a bigger prop....I had my hands full at Winthrop this past Saturday with kids and I didn't really get to fly my P-40 much. Got third in WWII- but Rich Zapf's Hurri is going to be very tough to beat. I think my best flight in that venue was 35 seconds. Still working on the trimming- the flight that it got eliminated on was too low altitude- it burned its energy down low and never climbed. I've got a second noseblock ready for the airplane with a trimmed 7" prop- just haven't tried it yet. That 6" prop in the Easy Built P-39 which at 24" was a somewhat larger airplane used to give me flights of over a minute, using 1/8" rubber- the P-40 is definitely draggier and needs more power. Dunno if I'm going to be able to try it this weekend at Glastonbury- depends on who's coming and how many boxes I bring...
I don't get along well with wingspan limits in mass launches. I'm ornery that way...
What kind of flight times are y'all seeing come out on top in WWI and WWII ML at that site? It's 30', right?
You're 100% correct about those peanuts. Jim Buxton's P-51 peanut is something like 4.5 grams w/o rubber. No idea about McGillivary's, but it was probably about the same. Those guys are in another league. I've heard tell of sanding down esaki tissue to save weight.
Midairs are definitely a big deal. Saving weight on leading edges is a really bad idea. Additionally, I use full-depth wing spars so that in the event of a leading edge failure, the airplane remains flyable. There's not much that's able to penetrate those wing spars.
Reverse S-hooks honestly are a must. If you take the time to get comfortable with them, it's no biggie. Using rubber O-rings does help in that area.
In terms of propellers, I highly recommend you look up laminated props. All of my carved stuff is like that. I make the leading and trailing edges of my blades from really hard wood, and the middle from punky stuff. Those props simply do not break unless you've got a fast, heavy airplane. For really heavy rough and tumble airplanes like my Corsair (28" span, 90 g empty, and outdoor only--it wanders aimlessly), I actually have a folding mechanism in the hub so that the blades will swing back in a hard landing.
Speaking of which, the Corsair is my favorite WWII subject, and it flies great. My old tattered one does about a minute on a 15% motor. That glide pattern is breathtaking...

Hi Josh
We're at 35 ft in Glastonbury, but it's not exactly clean up there-in fact, jungle comes to mind. Well, not that bad, but you can hang up an airplane and you aren't whacking something like a ceiling- more like wires.
For many years, WWI would probably be won by something in the 40 to 50 second range and probably still today, although we've finally gotten away from requiring peanuts. Some killer airplanes show up like Tom Nallen's Bristol that when it was flying well I think could break a minute. Probably we're at 50-60 seconds though these days.
WWII - 50-60 seconds used to be pretty good- anything over a minute was considered killer. That was until some bozo flying a Golden Age Repro P-51 began putting up flights in the 70-80 second range. When I first won the event, the CD pulled out the tape measure- and was chagrined to find out that I'm at least 0.5" under the limit. I'm still not sure I should have flown the airplane in this event, but the cat's out of the bag now since Rich Zapf built a larger Hurri that's breaking a minute.
And surprisingly, Golden Age often has times in the 40s. Well, we frown upon high wing airplanes so some folks are flying bipes and I've flown a Heath Midwing that was pretty competitive (and could break a minute) but now I'm down to a Bellanca Jr- have to see what that one will do. It's easily broken a minute-but I can't get a consistent pattern with that trim- and its getting heavier.
I've done laminated props a time or two and yes, they can work beautifully- and not break-or at least not easily, but I don't go to the lengths you do. One trick I once tried on the Sturmovik was to take a plastic prop- cut out the middle, and fill it with wood. Didn't think it was worth the aggravation.
I don't know what my favorite WWII subject is. For years, my killer airplane was the Easy Built 24" P-39, but that's pretty far from scale. I also did pretty good with the Comet 24" Hellcat (that was a big airplane for indoors)- it hit 70 seconds in its prime. My airplanes typically fly slower than the other ships up there. I've got a bunch of Corsair kits- I like the airplane, just haven't gotten up the nerve to build one. I've always liked P-51s and the FW 190D-9 could be really tough to beat. Spitfires if you can get enough washout in can also do OK, but years ago, the Comet 20" version I had could put in some nice flights- but was terribly inconsistent. Hard to argue with the Tony too.

I like the W W ll fighter planes. I've built several small Hellcats and one 32" Hellcat. I used the Guillow's series 1000 plan and built it with contest wood. It's extremely light by my estimation ( got top get a scale ) even with ballast up front. But the finish is all messed up with blushing I can't get out with fingernail polish remover. I used Deft lacquer which I will never use again. So I'm playing with it now. I've taken dark blue and black Sharpy markers and used the Hellcat as a canvas with cross hatching over the paint I tried to cover the white splotches with but didn't quite match the tissue color. The paint added a little weight but it's not everywhere, just over the blushes, which was at every seam. All this to say when I get it flying I guess I'll build another one.

Here's the Hellcat. I haven't "treated" the center sides yet, but will. The belly is white so the blushing isn't observable.

Hi Kev
I dunno- I think it looks OK. Besides, airplanes flown in WWII were anything but pristine...

OK- I took the bird out and flew it today at our last indoor meet of the season.
Josh- your suggestion of a larger prop was a good one- my best flight was 48 seconds so a bit of an improvement. Did need a little noseweight though. The airplane has a good pattern for a tight venue- I could have gotten more time if I'd open up the turn some.
Think I'm using a loop of 5/32" with about 1500 turns (150 cranks on a Scalewinder.) Might have some reserve..
Found out that in the bad old days with Al Lawton flying peanut in WWI- you needed 70 seconds to win! Today, 44 seconds with a 20" Nieuport sufficed...(OK, I cannot tell a lie- that was my airplane.)
In WWII though- flights were in the 80 second range- that was my Mustang. Tom Nallen was pressing me with his Buccaneer- one of the rounds was a dead heat between our two airplanes- luckily not the last one.
Golden Age- about a minute.
Sam, you're quite a flier. I saw a video of your Mustang beating out Gorman's 109, and it looks like a pretty light model. Sometime you'll have to share how you get it to stay in those nice left hand circles--something I've never been able to get a low winger to do--it's either right (requires lots of dihedral) or wandering for me. I know you're in a Cat II site, but that's still some good flying. I reckon my Junkers could do 80 seconds in there, but that's over your wingspan limit, too.

Thanks for the compliment- I'm blushing....high praise from a master...
The setup on the Mustang is as follows: lots of rudder- probably offset about 3/16" of an inch- and it's built in. (The back end of the fuse where it fairs in looked ugly if you didn't.) Not that much washout- probably about a couple of degrees in both tips- slight smile in the left wing- right wing straight although Tom Nallen thought that I had a fair amount in both wings. The airplane needed a smidge of up - but it's got a lot of downthrust- probably about 5-6 degrees. And yes, there's positive incidence in the wing too. No side thrust that I can see though. Earlier in its career when I was trimming it out, I needed tip weight to control the turn from opening up as the power wound down but these days- its gone and the airplane is flying fine without it.
Rich Zapf says that this airplane will fly well in anybody's hands- its a very good design. Note that I changed the airfoil- it's thinner and flat bottomed. Used most of the kit wood- Jim picks nice wood for his kits which is why I think they're a bargain.
Now I've got to go find this video....
Here's John Kramer who captured some of the excitement from our mass launch events last year:
and here's one that shows Dick Gorman and my final match of this year- although not shown is that my flight ended about 30 seconds after Dick came down...
Love the 2nd vid. WWII Low-wingers are just the coolest. I need to do one once I get my feet wet in FF stick & tissues.

Hi all
Well, the P-40 hasn't distinguished itself yet in combat at Winthrop. The airplane is flying fine- it's relatively slow, which surprises me. I'm using a trimmed 7" Peck prop and 5/32" rubber- think about 1700 turns or so. The airplane has a nice pattern but uses most of the gym there.
I got eliminated in the middle of the rounds (I was 4th) when that evil Rich Zapf Hurri nearly clipped me and his prop wash upset my airplanes pattern and it blew into a wall. That's the joy of flying indoor. This happened about 30 seconds after the launch and the airplane still had height and turns, so I'm thinking its at least competitive.

Ha ha. Creative work
You can't beat STALKER. I've tried pretty much every game out there but, I've found none that put me where this game does. I start playing and get lost in a world that can be both beautiful and terrifying. I remember my first visit to the Yantar lab in SHOC. It was in the early hours of the morning, I was using headphones while sneaking around the lab. The atmosphere had me on the edge of my seat. Ten seconds later something totally unexpected happened and put my heart in my mouth. I paused the game, shaking like a little child and from that moment on for me it has been the stick by which all games are measured. And sadly they just don't measure up. STALKER is a thousand games in one. Set in a constantly changing, evolving world. The only time any two playthroughs are the same is when you hit that ENTER THE ZONE button at the start of the game.
Ha ha. Creative work
Now you don't want to turn around in a pitch black tunnel and turn on your flash light to find one of these staring at you.
Looking at these its hard to imagine what will they think of next...
Reminds me of Army of Darkness, Evil dead III
It would be good to have a normal zombie flicker between this in certain psi zones , so it is a hallucination effect, Maybe a one off when you do the first scientist task in the railway tunnel. You could extend the effected area of that artefact you pick up and make the waves hit as soon as you pass the train wreck in the entrance then you could have three zombies that flicker in a heavily psi affected tunnel.
That's a great idea man, keep up the good work!
Looks gruesome.

Each month, we ask members of a local congregation how their faith guides their lives. This month, we visited First Presbyterian Church in Columbus:
How does your faith affect the way you vote?
B Watt Jorck
When I read the Bible, what comes out to me is the fact that we are to care for the poor, the less fortunate, and those abandoned or excluded by society.
So, when I'm thinking about what we should be doing as a community or city or nation, I look for candidates who share that goal of caring, and that position.
My mother taught me that.
Ann Jones
With this year's elections, I feel that the focus has been heavily on the middle class, the middle class, the middle class. It seems that the poor have been almost invisible.
I believe that is a very strong faith and social justice issue in all of the elections. How we treat those most in need matters very much.
Jo Lucas
Part of my understanding of who God is — and this is something I bring to almost everything — does have a bearing (on voting). Mostly, my feeling is that we're all in this together.
I believe that caring for the least of these in life is simply part of my job as a person of faith. That affects everything I hear and listen to.

With aggregate eurozone GDP contracting in Q4 2011 and the European Commission forecasting a Continental recession in 2012, investors may wonder what a eurozone recession means for the global economy and equity markets. In our view, 2012 is likely to feature strong bull market equity returns, and the world, on balance, can continue growing just fine while one region—even one as big as the eurozone—contracts.
In fact, there are two fairly recent examples when a significant region contracted, but the world overall grew and stock returns were strongly positive. Consider 1998 and the so-called Asian Contagion. That year, Asia experienced a severe financial crisis, causing the region's GDP to contract by more than 1%. At that time, Asia accounted for about 25% of global GDP (nearly identical to Europe ex-UK today), and many feared the world economy would catch the "Asian flu." US stocks corrected nearly 20% mid-summer as fears spread and a large US hedge fund, Long-Term Capital Management, collapsed. Yet, as shown in Exhibit 1, the world economy was largely unaffected—global GDP rose 2.4% in 1998 and even faster in 1999. US GDP growth was even stronger at 4.5% in 1998 and 4.9% in 1999. World stocks were just as resilient, with the MSCI World Index rising 24.3% in 1998.[i]
[Related -World Growth: Mediocre or Pathetic?]
Exhibit 1: Aggregate Asia/Pacific Region and Global GDP Growth, 1992 – 2000
Source: World Bank.
The second example is perhaps even more compelling. In 1992 and 1993, as the rest of the world continued growing following the 1990-1991 global recession, GDP fell across continental Europe—a true regional "double dip" as shown in Exhibit 2.
[Related -Bullish Sentiment Solidifies Even In The Face Of Lofty Valuations]
Exhibit 2: Aggregate European and Global GDP Growth, 1992 – 1995
Source: Thomson Reuters.
Europe's weakness then was tied to Continental monetary disarray—not unlike today's fear of a messy and sudden dissolution of the monetary union. In 1979, European countries harmonized exchange rates in an effort to slowly converge national currencies in preparation for euro adoption. The goal was to limit economic adjustments when the common currency finally took over, but as often happens, unintended consequences ensued. After the global recession, most core European nations would likely have benefited from accommodative monetary policy, but the fixed exchange rates prevented this. During and after the 1990-1991 recession, post-unification Germany actually grew briskly, and Bundesbank officials were more concerned about inflation in former West Germany—hence, they were tightening. Because other nations were allowed only minimal room to deviate, they had to follow Germany's hawkish lead, choking their nascent recovery.
This crisis escalated throughout 1992 until reaching the breaking point in September, when the UK exited the exchange system after currency speculators "broke" the Bank of England. The economic fallout from the system's unraveling continued into 1993, but it was very much localized to Europe—much like today's eurozone troubles seem to be. And, importantly for investors, global stocks defied Europe's woes. After a small drop in 1992—similar to 2011's flattish returns—the MSCI World Index rose a healthy 22.5% in 1993.[ii] Partly because the broader global economy was still growing, but likely also because stocks had already discounted Europe's weakness in 1992 (much as they grappled with PIIGS consternation in 2011). Stocks move on future expectations, and by 1993, they were likely already looking toward the coming global economic boom.
Outside of the eurozone, the global economy seems healthy and even accelerating in spots. And though it is likely—and markets seem to fully expect—the eurozone in aggregate contracts, recall the region isn't uniformly weak. Pockets of strength like France and Germany may serve as a counterbalance to the weaker periphery. Still, history is clear regional weakness needn't drag on global stocks.

THis plugin took down the entire WP site, including the admin side, and also initiated a php error so it was unable to load certain libraries.

But when I removed this one, the site works again!

thanks, yea you are right...i actually hadn't worked on this for a while so when i uploaded it on my page I forgot that it needed to be edited :S
ah, i see.
i mean, its easily remedied by using a proper video camera (which are pretty cheap nowadays) and then fixing the colours up post-production.
it'd be worth it i think

Tricky Time by marsafterlifeendedWatch
©2009-2016 marsafterlifeended
I used a metronome as the instrument of measuring time and tried to show the 'tricks' time plays on us.
Daily DeviationGiven 2009-04-12
Ever feel like time is messing with your mind or passing a little outside the norm? Tricky Time by ~marsafterlifeended perfectly captures the many ways we perceive the passing of time. This short film easily keeps your attention with subtle changes and dizzying shots til the end. ( Featured by ElectrikPinkPirate )
I love this its so peaceful my metronome is f-ing annoying i just want to smash it to bits. it doesnt tick it beeps.
haha oh no get a new one lol thanks for watching
well its for piano so i cant really look at it but if i do get one for guitar it wil sway back and forth
I don't wish to be obtuse, but I'm not sure I get it.
it's alright, my intention was basically to 'disappoint' the viewer by changing his/her expectations about the needle's movement ...the metronome for this work represents time and while the ticking sound goes on the same throughout the video, the image doesn't follow it because in real life even though time moves in the same pace always we don't always perceive it that way. Sometimes, it seems to slow down or go faster. Sometimes people have been known to experience deja vu where an event seems to have happened before to them. The video is just playing around with the theme of relativity of time. Is it clear now or it's not obvious from what you see in it? it's ok either way.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching
Ah, I see it a bit more clearly now, but I was trying to attach meaning to the slight irregularity in the ticks, but I suppose that just goes to show how attuned we are to slight fluctuations.

The film has earned $504 million to date, comprised of $253 million in domestic box office receipts and $251.2 million in international box office receipts, where it has set records in Japan ($59.1 million, the most successful U.S. animated film ever), England ($53 million), Mexico ($20.1 million) and Spain ($13.5 million). Commenting on the announcement, Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, said, "MONSTERS, INC. has been an extraordinary success all over the world and we are extremely proud that it has become the second most popular animated film of all time." MONSTERS, INC. will have a long way to go to beat the animated king's total however. THE LION KING had a box office gross of $766.9 million worldwide.

A strong, musky scent might be suited to a cognac parlor, but if you're in the mood for adventure, you'll need a cologne with a little more pep. This citrusy fragrance channels the spirit of the Far-East explorer, combining fresh, zesty notes of lime, bergamot, and coriander with a warm sandalwood and vetiver base that feels grounded in English tradition.
I got a lot of compliments on this one the day I wore it. People actually told me I smelled great! I think the scent is very nice, it's different than how it's described but still very earthy and woodsy - but without that heavy "musk" scent. I'd recommend this to anyone - as long as you don't wear it at the same time I do.5
I have prob. five or six scents that I have paid for and wear. Honestly, I wear them for my girl friend, if she likes something I will tend to get it. the first time she smelled this she loved it. This is a smell that stays on you and someone next to you can smell even late in the day. Some scent are light and a person has to get up close to smell it and this is not one. I walk by her and she knows I am wearing it. Great smell.5
Receiving this sample in a recent Birchbox. I typically don't wear cologne, but I decided to give this one a try. The sandalwood scent gave me the manly musk I had come to miss in myself. It's an excellent cologne, not too strong, not too weak, and I've been rubbing the sample bottle on my person with frequency because it ran out.5

I don't know if you can take it while pregnant but AZO helps a lot. Also, just drink cranberry juice and take cranberry supplements. I don't know of anything else. HTH.

AZO = Lifesaver. I seriously lived on the stuff before pregnancy.
But like PP said, I don't know if that is safe to take during pregnancy. I get UTI's all of the time, so I know how you feel - it suuucks so bad. Just drink a lot of cranberry juice and water so you pee a lot and flush it out. I once also heard that eating celery helps? But I can't make any promises on that one.. lol. Maybe try taking a shower (Not a bath - that can just make it worse!) Absolutely no sex, which if it hurts that bad, it wouldn't even sound good to you lol, and avoid caffiene because that irritates the bladder as well.

My doctor told me AZO was not allowed during pregnancy. You could try going to a 24 hour pharmacy and asking the pharmacist, they have all that info about what we can and can't ake as well.
You can take cranberry supplements to prevent one, but I don't think that helps once you already have one. Try drinking a lot maybe? Sorry sweety, I know how painful they can be so sending thoughts your way!

I have taken AZO before (non pregnant) and it does help a lot, but check with your doc before taking it. My mom told me about another one, I think it is called Uricalm? But, I have no idea if thats okay when you are prego either.
Drink lots of water to help flush your system, that should help with the pain some, but if the pain goes away, PLEASE still see your doctor. Twice in the past I have taken OTC medicine and lots of cranberry/water and the pain went away so I didn't see the doctor, then it came back a ton worse and I almost ended up in the hospital with a severe kidney infection. Also, UTI's can cause pre term labor, so get it taken care of even if you get some temporary relief from other sources!
Yeah, I was told no Azo too. From my experience, and I'm really sorry to say this, there isn't any temporary relief from a UTI when you are pregnant (if you are having symptoms since some people don't). But on the plus side the antibiotics seem to kick in faster.

I have a UTI infection right now, and it's definately not fun. But you should always see the doctor right away!! UTI's often lead to kidney infections, which can cause pre term labor at the worst...plus they will most likely admit you to the hospital if you do get one..
D-mannose is a NATURAL and FAST way to combat the UTI. I had one last week cleared up in 2 DAYS! Relief was INSTANT and it is all natural! Got mine at a local vitamin/herb shop. Thank you to whomever recommended to me... you're a lifesaver!

I know this post is old, but for future pregnancies(lol). I'm not pregnant but just had a UTI. What helped me out, though it sounds gross, was I got in a warm bath and just let it flow when I could. Of course it's not like your gonna pee a lot b/c of the UTI, but not being tense and letting the tiny bit of pee come out whenever made me feel a whole lot better. I sat in there for an hour and finally had to get out(it was 3am) so I could go to bed. It definately helped relieve me. I was able to pee too once I got out of the bath! Hope this helps!

Suzette Cooke
In the wake of Tuesday's vote by the Kent City Council to ban medical marijuana collective gardens within city limits, lawsuits were filed and tempers flared. Many medical marijuana supporters decried the decision, calling it a violation of state law, not to mention downright uncompassionate. Now Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke has weighed in.
Suzette Cooke
"As a city, and government, we are caught amidst a hodgepodge of laws," says Cooke. "I'm most disappointed that the state hasn't been able to clarify," the state's medical marijuana law.
"I'm the one who swears in our police officers," Cooke continues, pointing to the fact marijuana is illegal under federal law, which it's clear was one of the the main impetuses for Kent's actions. "It wouldn't be appropriate for me to pick and choose which laws we enforce."
Cooke says, as a supporter of collective gardens, she initially suggested they be allowed in people's homes within Kent city limits. However, over time, she says she was convinced even that was unworkable.
"My frustration is that we don't have a lawful way to provide that access [to medical marijuana]," she says.
In her opinion, and obviously in the opinion of the majority of Kent's city council, action on the matter of medical marijuana was called for. Cooke says the city had received multiple inquiries from medical marijuana dispensary-style businesses interested in opening in Kent, and Cooke describes that scenario as something the city couldn't stand for.
"I think the concern from some council members was appropriate," says Cooke. "There had to be a statement."
Of course, Sensible Washington, Sarich and other medical marijuana supporters probably aren't buying what Cooke is selling. Sensible Washington's Anthony Martinelli told Seattle Weekly yesterday: ""The actions taken by the majority of this council shows a severe lack of compassion, a blatant disregard for the will of their constituents, and a lack of understanding of how to improve the safety of their community." With an election always looming, Martinelli also noted that Sensible Washington would "strongly back any opposition [to Cooke] who would respect state law and their constituents."
Sarich was even more to the point when it comes to municipalities wrestling with the state's medical marijuana laws.
"They whine that the state law is muddy and unclear," said Sarich of cities like Kent that have enacted moratoriums or passed similar ordinances. "The law is pretty clear, and is crystal clear when it comes to collective gardens. ... I challenge you to find anything in the state law that gives cities the right to regulate collective gardens [as Kent now has]."
