The women eye each other from opposite corners of the star's spacious Beverly Hills home. There is silence as Cher moves into the living room. Rusty stands, lights a cigarette. There's an awkward pause. Then the women embrace. It is a moment that transforms them from total strangers into cinematic synonyms. They talk long into that night. They meet again shortly thereafter, exploring, searching for a way to re-create through the actor's gifts a woman's unconditional love for a disfigured son.
"She is tough but has an edge of softness about her. She laughs a lot. She's soft-spoken and very warm, with a metaphysical side to her about finding her way through life. She is also quite a beautiful woman, even though, when she speaks, you hear those biker expressions."
The words are Cher's, describing Rusty Dennis, but through a stroke of brilliant casting the words unwittingly describe the offscreen Cher as well. Executives at Universal Pictures once pegged Jane Fonda for the part, but screenwriter Anna Hamilton Phelan wrote the Mask script with an 8" x 10" glossy of Cher beside her index cards. "She put it up next to a picture of Rocky and a poem he wrote his mother," says Cher, "and told me the thing just kinda wrote itself."
Insights into Rusty's complex character proved less automatic. Cher and director Peter (The Last Picture Show) Bogdanovich were often at odds. The screaming and crying fits toned down, the actress says, once "he gave me some headroom to play Rusty the way I saw her." For Cher, Rusty had become her unseen director. "Our personalities are similar," the star explains. But Cher was never a self-destructive drug user like Rusty, though she understood the type: "I was married to a man like that—Gregory [Allman]. But there were three or four things I got from Rusty that made much of her story crystal clear."
Cher insisted on dropping dialogue that rang false. One sentence had Rusty saying, "I could have been something if it hadn't been for your stupid, ugly face." Cher called Rusty on that and. the actress recalls, "she admitted she'd never have said it."
Another sharp insight into Rusty's remarkable power to see beyond her son's deformity came one day when she showed Cher a picture of young Rocky, already badly disfigured. "That's him," Rusty told Cher, pointing to the photo, "the tallest one."
Cher continued to resent Bogdanovich's direction. "I felt Peter wanted to be doing my job but had to hire me. I never really understood Peter. I never listened to his direction because I never liked it. I didn't feel he knew what Rusty was about as well as I did."
Cher's tense insistence on getting Rusty just right can be explained simply enough. She had the top-billed burden of carrying a tearjerker after two supporting roles. Sometimes it can seem she is still tentative about her place in filmmaking. After all, this beautiful but tough woman, like some tourist mentally changing dollars abroad, still converts her Hollywood paycheck into some private currency one might call casino-Krugerrands. "I've made three films for less than what I could do at Caesars for two weeks—$320,000 a week, two shows a night." Of course, after years of high-sheen Vegas shtick, the only career gambles worth taking are demanding film parts. The challenge of Mask, for which she collected $500,000 and 5 percent of any profits, uncovered something new: fear. "I wanted to do the script from the moment I read it, but I was afraid I wasn't good enough. There was tough stuff in there, but the thread of integrity throughout the film really made it worthwhile."
Perhaps surprisingly, Cher says the nine-week shoot around L.A. was never grim or melancholic, thanks largely to Rusty. "She was never somber, absolutely never wistful about what we were doing," says Cher. "She feels Rocky is still around, that he had such power and energy. She once told me she thought Rocky was in fact there on location with us, that he was cracking up at all the fuss over him. Everyone actually did have this feeling—and it really takes a lot for me to feel something strongly—that there was a higher presence around, an extra something that moved us."
Mask's leading role is the sort that would start any mother thinking of her own kids' lives. Cher is lying back on a couch in a small but deliciously quaint rented beach house on the ocean in Malibu. The sun has set, two gas fires flicker in fireplaces and the high-ceilinged living room gradually warms as blue-gray natural light drains into the coming night. Squeezed between the pounding Pacific and the busy coast road, the house feels bounded by parallel tides, lunar and fuel-injected. If Cher's life were a film, this moment would bring her an Oscar nomination for cinematography. She is solemn and pensive, at ease in the intensifying dark. She, the spokesbody for Jack La Lanne Health Spas, talks of feeling "sick to my stomach" at the shallow, unreal obsession for images of skin-deep physical perfection among American women. She admits she is "scared" when she ponders the growing up of Chastity, now 16 and studying in New York, and Elijah, 8, who spends weeks at a private school outside L.A. and returns home on weekends. "Maybe I could have done a better job," she says. "I get frightened, then I'm around them and I see they're really good kids. I see edges in their personalities I hope will round off, aspects they'll grow through. I'm not so bowled over by my love for them that I don't see their strong and weak points. But I feel they both have an innate strength that will pull them through—I see Chastity's toughness coming from me and Elijah's vulnerable, poetic spirit from Gregory. He was the gentler, nicer parent than me—when he was straight."
If Cher, 38, can also state that "I wouldn't mind being pregnant and would like to have one more child," it may be her way of saying she has found the real thing in romance. It is barely six months old, but she and Joshua Donen, 29, VP for production at ABC Motion Pictures, have been all but inseparable since finding each other rude and aloof on a pair of early, awkward dates. When Donen comes through the door with Elijah, whom he has met at the bus from school, Cher's energy level soars. The mood inside the house is immediately bright and animated. They are an openly affectionate pair. They met when Donen, son of renowned director Stanley (Singing in the Rain) Donen, was the agent of Cher's ex-boyfriend Val Kilmer. Their initial contacts in groups of friends were hardly auspicious. She found him "rude, but so funny that no one got his jokes. I couldn't understand why everyone liked him." Donen set up a screening of an old film for Cher and a studio boss; there was talk that she might star in a remake. As the two men discussed the project, Cher withdrew behind a magazine and said zilch. "I was furious," he now says. "She was antisocial. When she grunted as the boss left, I was livid. At dinner we weren't speaking at all. Then she put down her fork and looked me in the eye. 'I'm sorry you think I'm such a bitch,' she said, and I realized that she's just shy, afraid of people. That remark said to me, 'I don't mean to be the way I am, I don't understand the way people perceive me.' I was totally enamored of this woman for her frankness. She opened up her heart and just melted me."
Why has it worked to perfection thus far? Josh says, "I don't think Cher understands about getting up and going to the office. I'm the first man she's ever been with who does that." (He jokingly discounts record/film tycoon David Geffen because "he was so successful he didn't have to go into his office. Other people went into his office for him.") Donen, explains Cher, "has the best strengths of all the men I've been with." She cites Geffen's business aggression and intelligence, Allman's sensitivity, Kilmer's humor, and "he adores the kids like Gene Simmons, and he's cute. Oh, and he's crazy about me, like all of them."
Donen's alert eyes widen when he says, "I am lucky to have found one of the rare people. She is attractive, lively, intelligent, dynamic, funny, interesting, vulnerable, pained and happy. Falling in love with Cher has really connected me and the world, filled all the holes in my life." The two have only been apart a week—over Valentine's Day—when Cher went to Harvard to pick up the Hasty Pudding award as Woman of the Year. That day she braved a riotous mock parade through Cambridge, surrounded by draggedy-Ann members of the campy theater group. She held her own during a punning roast, threatening to use the three-pound brass pudding pot she received as an earring. On Valentine's Day there were promotions in Manhattan for Mask but still time to send Josh balloons; he sent flowers to her hotel suite. Though no separation is on the schedule, Donen rolls his eyes and groans at the thought of a longer split. "You mean like a 16-week shoot in Tanganyika. I don't wanna think about it. One week was hard, real hard."
The pair spends nights out with industry friends, sees two, three movies a day. Mornings, Josh wakes up to read the seven to 10 scripts he must analyze each week. "Sometimes that kind of schedule," she cracks, "is a pain in the—-and really infringes on my fun." But their partnership has anchored her. "My career was deader than dung a few years ago," she says. "This culture uses up and disposes. The best thing that ever happened to Marilyn Monroe's career was she died. She couldn't even get anyone on the phone when she died. That's how crazy idolatry is. I've already been disposed of, so I want to bounce back. I'm like some of that trash that just won't go away." Playing Rusty Dennis has, she says, taught her to "look inside. There are so many women like me, women who get caught up in trying to look our best. You suddenly become, like I did once, the standard. And finally you look at yourself and say, 'This is impossible. How the hell did I get here?' " For Cher, after years of restlessly "trying to create and re-create who you are above and beyond what you just are," there is finally that long-sought contentment and confidence. Part of the solution, clearly, lay in her move to films, a career switch that has forced her, after two decades of flash, to remove her own mask.

Great , thanks, also all my stuff for this heli is ready for its first rebuild. The align servos look great. I cant wait. But scared of the test.
Im not sure when i will get around to build her. Thats why i have my v400 and trex600. Hell i bought the v450 to have when i wrecked the v400. Oh how tides have turned.
Yeah, lol. I'm thinking of getting another 450. Maybe an align. I don't know if i want a bigger heli. The 450 seems like a great size to stick with for a while. Bigger helicopters have more expensive batteries and parts. The v450 is pretty cheap to fix so i might just get another one eventually if i can find a good enough deal on a crashed one or something. I desperately want to invert this bird but i don't want to crash it and not have one to fly so getting another 450 is logical.
Today i broke down my 4f200's rotor because i bent the shaft. DOH. I crashed this sucker 2 times trying to invert it. I posted a video in the 4f200 thread. If this happened to my 450 i don't think there would be much left. Would be nice to know theres another 450 waiting in the wings, so to speak.
Ok,the kids and wife gave me some day time to work on heli. All servos are installed and level at 0 stick. I had to reverse a few things, but they are very nice servos. They treat the tail servo like a king , with it nice box! Lol i see what heliflyer says about usingmthe extended swash balls , but i havent done it yet. But things will be perfect when im done. I straightened tye tail boom so i wont get into that untill i really need to. I have not messed with a tail belt yet.. I hope everyone is having a good flying day. Its too windy to fly or test. But spool up without b
Ades went well.
Yeah the wind was horrible here as well. I still went and flew because if i waited for winds gusting below 20mph i'd probably never fly (lately anyway). Seem so much windier than it's been in the past this time of year.
I actually had a great day at the field today! I managed to crash my v120d02S in the wind though. Oh well. Later when the sun tucked below the trees and there was just enough light to see my heli still i managed to flip my 4f200 3 or 4 times and also sustain inverted hover a few times for a few seconds. Woot!
With the DS410M's the Align DS4 servo arms that come with them for the V450 on the front Aile and Pitch go 10mm on center from screw to ball link on the arm. Use the V450's 2 front Aile/Pitch swash balls from an old swashplate, instead of the shorter old stock ones. Get the servos centered up as best as possible @ 1/2 stick 50% pitch with no trim/subtrim. This will get you stock WK 08-8/9 geometry on the head - in other words a straight shot from servo arm ball to swash ball vertical and horizontal with the links. Otherwise the links up front will sit too far back and out.
The DS4 servo arms come with 2 holes already pre-drilled @ 13mm & 16mm, so you got to drill a new hole @ 10mm with a small drill/dremel bit - drill the holes a bit smaller than the threads on the ball links so they dont screw loose in the plastic arm. Try to get both sides straight & as equal distance as you can and use some CA on the ball threads to hold the ball on the arm once your done fitting it all up. The elevator servo in the back gets the same 10mm hole drilled in the servo arm, but can use the old stock shorter ball.
Wait till you feel the difference these servos make with how the V feels in the air with them...good choice
The DS520 Tail Servo is a drop in fit, although you may have to angle the servo back more to get a straight run of the tail control rod, and if you get a wag you might have to move the ball link in closer to the screw. (reduce mechanical gain) Cross that bridge when you get to it.......
Frame is done, heres some pics of the V450 without the electronics;
All new main bearing blocks/main bearings, new tail belt pulley drives and new screws.
Nice work 711. And thanks for the advice, if i get a wag in my tail ,again , i may pass out .
With my v400 i found if i use the white servo horns ( thinner) they break away in a crash leaving a un touched servo. Happy flying all.
A couple more things with the servo upgrade;
With the 3 - 410M's......when you put the arms on the servos side by side and opposite for Aile/Pitch up front, 2 should match up pretty close if not exactly @ same angles, . You'll have to experiment with different servo arms and servos to find the 2 that match......Finless Bob shows how to do this on one of the T-450 Pro builds, when he does the servo install. The servos arms can be lined up just hooked up to the RX..... even before they go into the mounts on the heli. You have to recenter and level the swash-plate @ 1/2 stick/50% pitch and run through the 2702V SW setup also.
Why do I have a feeling though you just popped them in and put them on the first hole @ 13mm and are done with it LOL,,,,,,: You know, long story short 3mm is going to make a big difference on arm throw and get you more travel for less stick movement. That would make the heli fly a hell of a lot different then what your used to, if not bind up at the limits unless you tame down the radio setup. And a word of caution, if the 2702V doesn't see the correct zero set-point for the swash it can become unpredictable in flight. I'm going to eventually add all this stuff into the build log....but If you take the time to do them right now, you just might just get another year+ out of her
Well I'm almost ready to start inverting this bad boy. I'm about 10 flights into it now with the new rotor head and servos. Now that I'm starting to feel confident again with it. It might be almost that time. Doing flips and inverted hovers on my 4f200 has me feeling a lot better about trying it on the v450. If this 2S, 3 bladed, sluggish performer of a helicopter can perform good 3d flips and inverted hovers i'm sure my v450 with the beastly TA 804 motor is going to be no problem. Now to work up the nerve to just do it! There is a link to the 4f200 videos in the 4f200 thread. I was surprised the little guy fought the tropical storm winds today!
No i didnt just pop them on , but i do mymsetup with servos in place , . Hell on the tail i am using the same servo horn , now that you said it , i may go thru the 2702 setup. There is nothing wrong with my servo movement but i backed my swash mixing back to all 70. Just to see what the new servos will feel like,
I also matched up my holes with my old servos , so all should be the same,
Beautiful......just dont want to see you dirt dive on maiden. The DS4's holes dont match up with the stock, but however you can make it work....thats what its all about. That and lots of sim time if you dont want to be a professional heli mechanic besides your day job. I flew this baby for a year and wore it out, worst i had was a blade scrape on 40.00 blades so far and a couple hard landings on TH.

The Terrace at 100-118 Paterson Street Carlton North consists of ten houses. The houses were erected on a speculative basis by Jurtus Wombach. Nos. 102-118 were constructed gradually from 1889-1894, although it appears that No. 100 was added in 1911. The single storey brick terrace has a gallery on the street facade with a cast iron frieze. The cornice and parapet are rendered and each house is expressed by a pedimented name plate.
The Terrace at 100-118 Paterson Street Carlton North is of architectural and historical significance to the State of Victoria.
The Terrace at 100-118 Paterson Street Carlton North is of architectural significance as a notable example of boom style terrace architecture. The unusually long row is composed of ten repetitive units with some variation in the parapets. The polychrome brickwork on the ground floor, the rendered cornice and parapet and the cast iron gallery comprise a typical boom period composition. The cast iron palisade railing between the front gallery and footbath is an original feature of the terrace.
The Terrace at 100-118 Paterson Street Carlton North is of historical significance as an essential part of the Carlton North precinct, an area that contains some of Melbourne?s finest and most intact 19th century streetscapes. The Terrace also provides evidence of the substantial growth of Melbourne?s inner suburbs in the latter decades of the 19th century. The extended period of construction of the individual houses probably reflects the nature of speculative building, although the intervention of the economic recession in the 1890s may have had some impact on their completion.
Do you have stories, notes or memories about Terrace - 100 Paterson Street Princes Hill?

Web Wealth: The Great Depression
November 2, 2008

Does the current financial crisis resemble the run-up to the Great Depression? You betcha, some experts say. Decide for yourself with a look at history - and Ben S. Bernanke's book - at these sites. Teaching history. The project of the Center for History and New Media looks to be a resource for classroom discussion that might compare the Great Depression to today.

`The Great Depression' On History Channel Is Admirable
March 9, 1998
By Lee Winfrey, INQUIRER TV WRITER
Making a television show about the Depression that is entertaining and informative without being gloomy and depressing is not an easy task. But the History Channel, again demonstrating its expertise and facility with real-life happenings, has done it. The Great Depression will air in four one-hour episodes, tonight through Thursday night at 9, on HIST. The near-perfect host is former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo. He demonstrates his fitness in his opening remarks, as he uses his own experience to illustrate how families so often helped one another through the trying and frightening 1930s: "My father had lost his job as a ditch digger when construction work virtually stopped after the [stock market]
It Wasn't Theatrical Propaganda That Beat The Great Depression
May 15, 1997
By Msgr. S.J. Adamo
Back in the late '30s, when the government began to sponsor the arts as a way of fighting the Great Depression, stage plays were used as a means of propaganda to make the people more socially responsive. It may have helped, but it wasn't until the nation began to gear itself for World War II that the economy was pulled out of the doldrums and good jobs mushroomed everywhere. It was a form of socialism in warrior's garb. It worked and we have had no serious economic failings since those days.
A lifetime of lessons learned in the Great Depression
April 2, 2011
By Christa Oestreich, ARCHBISHOP PRENDERGAST HIGH SCHOOL
Father is working long hours at the factory while mother has been trying to find a job of her own. But there are none. People line the streets for a bowl of soup; no one can afford anything more than that. At home, the children do not have shoes or adequate clothing. There is not enough money for coal, for beds, or to pay rent. This is how the world remembers the Great Depression 80 years ago. Today's recession looks like a stray cat compared with the Depression's roaring lion of the late 1920s and '30s.

U.S. has risen from economic ashes before
April 2, 2011
By Alexandra Iacovetti, METHACTON HIGH SCHOOL
Historically, economic recessions such as the Great Depression, the Oil Crisis of the 1970s, and our current recession were brought on by many factors, but all served as a much-needed reality check on the American need to overindulge. One of the main causes of the Great Depression was factory overproduction. The high demand for cars and entertainment outlets such as radios and movies created a "great glut" out of American industry. More demand led to more innovation, and soon enough, more cost and time effective labor-saving machines replaced American workers, and increased unemployment.
Letters: The United States is in an economic swamp
June 27, 2011
THE COUNTRY is in economic quicksand, and no solution is in sight. Infusions of literally trillions of dollars, the nonstop printing of cheap money and the president's refusal to rid himself of advisers whose advice has proven ineffective have put the U.S. economy in an intractable position. Only two industries are thriving - pro sports and gambling venues. How long can they dodge the bullet? The Great Depression was canceled by World War II. It's a different ballgame today.
Plunging stocks not likely to ruin economy, experts say
July 28, 2002
By Miriam Hill INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Stocks dived in 1987. They slumped through most of the 1970s. But in our collective memories, there is only one Great Crash: 1929. To many Americans, that cosmic crash is so closely associated with the Great Depression that every market downturn since tends to raise the specter of recession or depression. With the Dow Jones industrial average and other major market indexes once again falling sharply, it seems worth asking whether drops in stock prices can topple the economy.
Chaplin's tragicomic Depression classic
March 13, 2009
By Steven Rea, Inquirer Movie Critic
Try these headlines: "STOCKS CRASH, PANIC FOLLOWS," "BANKS FAIL, RIOTS ENSUE. " Who would have thought the rerelease of Charlie Chaplin's darkly comic Monsieur Verdoux would be so terrifyingly timely? From a story idea by Orson Welles, Monsieur Verdoux is the tale of a bank clerk (Chaplin) who loses his job during the Great Depression and crafts a new career as a bigamist serial killer - he marries women with money, murders them, and lives off the proceeds. An opening scene that is stiff, stagy, and a setup for the plot to come is pretty much the only flaw in this sly, existential black-and-white classic.

Web Wealth: The history of stock-market bubbles
June 23, 2014
By Reid Kanaley, Inquirer Columnist
The stock market keeps stretching to new highs. Is it a bubble? And if it is, when will it burst? Bubbles don't announce themselves clearly, so a look back at the history of bubbles is instructive. Booms, burst bubbles , crashes, and other economic upheavals have been going on forever. Harvard Business School offers a collection of case studies on U.S. busts back to the Panic of 1837 and including the famous stock-market bubble of 1925-29 that preceded the Great Depression. It also details the less-well-known real estate bubble that came just before that 1920s market boom and saw empty building lots in Miami being sold 10 times per day. If we only had learned . . . "Whatever else you might say about today's stock market, it is nowhere near as overheated as it was 14 years ago," Mark Hulbert wrote in this MarketWatch post in April, where he compared the market this year with the tech bust of spring 2000.

By Suzette Parmley, Inquirer Staff Writer
For Swarthmore College alumni of decades past and present, it was time to give back to a place that transformed them. Don Mizell, 65, Class of 1971, donated his 2005 Grammy for Album of the Year, produced for Ray Charles, to the school's Black Cultural Center, which he pushed to get built as an anthropology student. "This is an outgrowth of my experience here," he said Saturday as he attended an alumni reunion event. "It's an act of gratitude and me saying, 'This [Grammy] exists because of you.' " Imitation is the best homage for Juan Victor Fajardo, 27, Class of 2009.
Inquirer Editorial: The Great Dejection
February 3, 2014
For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. - Shakespeare If one trait exemplifies what some call American exceptionalism, it's the ability of this nation's people to be optimistic no matter what tragedy or disappointment is heaped upon their plates. But polls suggest the Great Recession and its aftermath have done what the Great Depression could not: turn us into a nation of pessimists. Even amid clear signs of economic recovery, many - moved more by politics than facts - don't believe the future will be better.

Having just led some visitors around Burpee's Fordhook Farm floral display gardens, I noticed one man standing outside the garden, rocking back and forth, his eyes closed. Concerned, I asked him if everything was OK. "I . . . am . . . happy," he replied simply, lost in rapture. In his honor, we have named it the "Happiness Garden. " I mention this episode because our country is right now in the midst of an epidemic of unhappiness.
Playing 'chicken' against city's students

My father's one claim to fame in the 1939 Northeast High School yearbook was that he was the shortest boy to graduate that year. At 63 inches, he was pictured in the yearbook shaking hands with the tallest guy on the basketball team. A resident of Port Richmond, my father attended Charles Carroll Elementary School and John Paul Jones Academy before enrolling in Northeast in 1936. In spite of the hardships imposed by the Depression, my father and his seven siblings, children of parents who never made it beyond fourth grade, all graduated from high school or business school.

Savings found in switching Understanding energy deregulation and alternative electric supply admittedly is a complicated subject. But just as EnergyWorks helps homeowners choose a trusted, home energy-efficiency company, there are many solutions in the deregulated electricity area. In Illinois, there's Power2Switch. Texas has ChooseEnergy. And Pennsylvania has Alphabuyer ("Energy efficiency gets easier," April 21). Real estate writer Alan Heavens notes that he's using less energy every year, but his bill remains the same because the price of electricity goes up. From the Alphabuyer perspective, the data shows something different.

By William C. Kashatus If a picture's worth a thousand words, then Dorothea Lange's Depression-era photograph "Migrant Mother" warrants an entire book. Or at least that's the idea behind Marisa Silver's new novel, Mary Coin . The photo, taken in 1936 at a pea pickers' camp near Nipomo, Calif., depicts the lined and weary face of Florence Owens, a 32-year-old widowed migrant worker, with two of her hungry children resting on her shoulders and a baby on her lap. It has become the most iconic image of the Great Depression.

The last time Clemson won an ACC title, in 1991 was the last season Clemson had a non-kicker walk-on who earned first-team all-conference honors.
The last time Clemson played in the Orange Bowl, Clemson had a pair of walk-on cornerbacks starting on Jan. 1, 1982, when Clemson defeated Nebraska.
Not only has Clemson ended a conference title drought this season, but Clemson has also enjoyed some of its best player development success stories in recent memory.
Left tackle Phillip Price and cornerback Coty Sensabaugh have risen from the fringe of the roster to occupy critical positions in the starting lineup.
Price, a former walk-on tight end from a tiny Dillon Christian School, converted to tackle in 2009. This season the senior became the program's first walk-on to earn first-team All-ACC honors in 20 years.
Sensabaugh nearly had to walk-on as one of the last players Clemson signed in its 2007 class, a two-star prospect out of Kingsport, Tenn. Sensabaugh has developed into the team's top cover corner this season.
"The only reason I was a two-star was because I committed to Clemson," Sensabaugh said. "Before that, I wasn't a single star."
With scholarship limits cut from their levels in the 1980s, with not all four- and five-star recruits reaching their potential, offensive coordinator Chad Morris said it is critical to develop players like Price to fill in the voids.
"He's meant so much because of where he came from and having to walk-on to earn everything he got," Morris said. "When no one gave him a chance, he's battled through that. That showed so much about him and his drive and his character. ... That's what you want in an offensive lineman, you want guys that are mean and rugged and just don't care."
Coach Dabo Swinney recruited Price and said the senior's tough, workmanlike personality has changed little since his high school days, when no other major program recruited Price.
"I called him every week like he was five-star recruit," Swinney said. "The conversation was the same very week: (Said Swinney) 'Hey man, how are you doing?' (Said Price): 'I'm good.' (Said Swinney): 'All right, I just wanted to call and say hello to you. How did you do you last week? (Said Price): 'I did good.'
"I just saw a big athlete that could do something that everyone was overlooking . ... It was one of things where you put him on the shelf for a couple years and if he'll work and pay the price, then let's see what we got. He wanted to play and I think he eventually realized he wasn't going to be a great tight end. He bought on and realized, 'Hey, I can go eat.' "
As a sophomore, Price gave up on the idea of playing tight end and moved to tackle, where he bulked up his then 6-5, 265-pound frame. Price has added 50 pounds, now playing at 315.
As a senior, he earned the starting left tackle assignment and played 777 snaps. Clemson was 0-2 this season when Price was limited or didn't play in games.
What Price has been to the offense, Sensabaugh has been to the defense, blanketing Virginia Tech receivers in the ACC title game and limiting South Carolina receiver Alshon Jeffery -- a projected first-round pick -- to two catches and 29 yards.
"Just hard work and persistence," Sensabaugh said of his rise.
After losing two cornerbacks from last season to the NFL draft, what appeared to be a sizeable void to fill, Tigers defensive coordinator Kevin Steele believes the program has produced another NFL prospect in Sensabaugh, who runs a legit 4.4 second 40-yard dash.
"It's got to the point now where you don't even notice he's out there because they don't even attack the side of the field he's on," Steele said. "When they stop throwing in your direction, that is a pretty good thing for a corner."
Swinney said quality walk-ons and near walk-ons like Sensabaugh are a must in today's college football, with fewer scholarships.
"You have to have guys that buy into your program; you have to have great walk-ons, not just guys that develop and help you on the game field but help you on this practice field," Swinney said. "From time to time, you get guys that are talented enough to really make a contribution. It's a hard thing to do."

Pylons 1933
On Display Modern One
'Pylons' was exhibited at the first and only exhibition of the modernist 'Unit One' group in London in 1934, where it aroused much interest. It was purchased from the exhibition by Elizabeth Watt, who bequeathed it to the Gallery more than fifty years later. In this painting the three tall pylons carry no wires and their location on the beach is deliberately enigmatic. The attention to detail and relocation of objects from their usual surroundings draw parallels with the work of Dalí and Tanguy. However, unlike those artists, Hillier does not use unlikely objects and improbable landscapes.

Morrowind Comes Alive was a part of miniMorrowindMod (version 2.0) but in 2.2 it was deleted because it caused lots of dde so you can just forget about running this.

could some one plzzz post the combat mod for me plzzzzzzzzzz
Posted 25 July 2007 - 07:39 AM
Combat Enhanced(unless I'm mistaken) requires Morrowind Enhanced to run, which is a standalone PC program. So unless someone out there has converted Morrowind Enhanced to an Xbox homebrew program, I believe you're out of luck with that mod as well.

Deshaun Thomas remembers that spring day his senior year of high school. He was staying after classes, doing homework, when the school principal, Mary Keefer, entered the room and said, "Good news." Thomas had been waiting anxiously for it. In four years at Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne, Ind., he had become not only the best basketball player in the state but an honor-roll student.

Apple has set the standard for smartphones with the iPhone series. But that doesn't mean that phones with Windows-based operating systems, like the Nokia Lumia 900, are not offering a serious challenge.
At first glance, the most obvious difference between the iPhone 4S and Nokia Lumia 900 is size.
The Lumia 900 weighs in at 5.6 ounces, measures 5.03 inches long by 2.69 inches wide, and is a mere .45 inches thin.
The iPhone 4S is smaller, measuring 4.5 inches long by 2.31 inches wide, and comes in slimmer with a .37-inch profile. It is also somewhat lighter at 4.9 ounces.
In addition to being bigger and heavier than the iPhone, the Nokia Lumia 900 falls short on the 4.3-inch display, which at 800 by 480 pixels, is not as crisp as the iPhone's 960-by-640, 3.5-inch retina display.
However, the display on the Lumia 900 has one big advantage over the iPhone. Nokia uses Corning Gorilla Glass, which will keep it scratch-free a lot longer than the notoriously fragile iPhone face.
Since both smartphones operate with a touch screen user interface, the clear winner here is the Lumia 900.
Both the iPhone and Lumia 900 will easily fit in a shirt pocket. However, a few tenths of an inch doesn't necessarily tip the scale for all smartphone shoppers. The deciding factor is often hardware, speed and features.
For speed, the Nokia Lumia 900 beats the iPhone, running at 1.4 GHz, with 4G LTE Wi-Fi, and runs Windows Phone 7.5 OS.
The current iPhone 4S only runs at 3G speeds, on Apple iOS 5, although that may improve with the expected fall release of the next-generation iPhone5 and iOS 6.
If you like to store a lot of videos, music and photos on your smart phone, Apple's iPhone gives you three choices for storage; 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. The Lumia 900 only offers 16GB. But this is not necessarily an iPhone advantage. Personal data can be stored on a Micro SIM card on the Lumia 900, which is not available on the iPhone. Both devices have cloud storage.
There are some additional differences in standard smartphone features, but both have Bluetooth and quality built-in cameras. The iPhone has slightly better battery life, but it should not be a deal-breaker.
While there are advantages to both the iPhone and Lumia 900, if your life revolves around other Apple devices and iTunes, the iPhone will fit into your personal network with ease. And if you already have an iPhone 4S and have formed some kind of personal relationship with Siri, you will miss her if you switch to a Lumia 900.
If you're a Windows user and are willing to trade off the sharper, iPhone retina display for the virtually indestructible Corning Gorilla Glass on the Nokia, and faster 4G speed is a top priority, you will not be disappointed with the Lumia 900.

Its looking like an F18 .... I am almost finished with main assembly. The weight is looking good so far. I think I will finish it with WBPU and talc. prior to paint. I have been looking at different VFA's and have not decided on which one to go with. I was thinking of the VFA 103 Jolly Roger but there are quite a few really cool squadron insignia's. I have time to decide that..still lots of finish work to do. I also am thinking about a cockpit, pilot and canopy, something light of course. Anyway here are a few pics.
Thanks for the info. yes I believe it will be fine, I am using the 20amp ESC that came with the V3 combo.
I finished the canopy and final shaping today, also installed the magnet to hold the canopy on. I was going to try and maiden this evening but its just to windy so moved on with finishing. I use a mixture of LWS, Durhams water putty and a little water as filler. I apply it with a brush to all glue seams, the spars and cover the laminated XPS foam that I am using for the nose and canopy. I like this mixture as it dries fast, hard and sands like balsa. It works very well as a light hard filler. When dry I will sand the majority of it off. Finish sanding smooth then start applying coats of WBPU prior to paint.
Well, I have this L39 that I built, it's the second one, the first one would snap and screw itself into the ground when it thought it was time to do so,,, so after the 3rd round with that, I said no more, but I liked the plane so built another and did the wing different that the first, well I don't finish my planes before the maiden, sometimes it's a big waste! also if I need a mod then I'm not destroying the finish. So this one after maiden and a few flights, I just kept flying it cause it flew good and I liked the plane... After lots of ridicule from fellow fliers about me not ever painting my planes(wow it only took two planes to achieve that label) I am doing the finish on it. So some filling and sanding, applying some wbp/powder too, and fixing dings and such.. A couple more days and it should be ready for paint.. Also working on another one I've had going for a long time, when the time is right, I'll post, it should be fun.. And..... working on a build, sort of, lots of modding to it, so when I get where I'm comfy with it, I'll start a thread, it will be another edf but like I said, lots of mods to it, so stand by.. That F18 really makes me want to do another one of those, I had one, and flew it till it is just wore out! It is on the build list.. w.
Sounds cool, I just finished sanding all my fill and I am thinking about using the same WBPU/talc prior to paint. Would you go that route or just a few coats of WBPU? I was thinking I could get a better finish with the talc, what do you think?
Greg, whenever I use wbp it is always with talc mixed in unless I'm trying to protect the paint with a top clear coat.. The talc fills holes and scratches, adds strength and sands much smoother than just the poly alone.. Yes, I'd use the wbp/talc mix, the only thing you have to watch is weight build up. w
I went ahead with the talc..man that sands smooth! I put on one heavy coat, sanded off and then followed by a lighter coat. I am doing the final sanding today and hopefully get a coat of grey on her before I go on shift tomorrow
Well I finally have it ready for paint. It doesnt seem to matter how long we fill and sand, I still found places I wish I would have spent more time on....oh well I used a high fill primer and that helped. I was happy that after the WBPU/talc and primer I only added 2 oz. 2 coats WBPU/talc, 3 coats primer and alot of sanding.
Looks really good Greg! That 2oz gain is really not bad especially if you were using a filler primer.. I just use the grey craft paint generally as my primer or a flat white craft paint depending on what colors i'm going to shoot.... Your details look good too... And remember when finishing, paint Shows Everything!! as you are finding out! w.
Walt, when you say craft paint are you refering to an acrylic paint? The primer I used is Dupli Color high build, its an automotive primer. I really like how it fills and sands but something lighter would probably be better, especially on this type of build. Next build I will do a little more work with the poly and talc (and sanding) Then I can use a little less primer Greg
Greg, yes, the acrylic paints in the craft department is what I use, sometimes I buy the small bottles, but colors like white, black, grey, yellow, ect I buy the bigger ones... Anytime you get a build up or filling primer it will be heavy! Sand it down, get most of it off if you are gaining too much weight, plus I would think if your not careful, that stuff will eat the foam up! Paint, won't fill anything, filler is for that, paint will show every little dent scratch whatever... It is very hard to get these things perfect or anywhere near that.. keep at it though.. w.
Decided to follow the VFA-103 paint scheme, I still have to tackle the" jolly roger" skull and cross bones. I am planning a 1/12th scale twin 70mm EDF build for this winter, I will definately print water transfer decals for that one!

11 Fun Back-to-School Traditions to Start with Your Kids This YearGabrielle Blair
Friends, it's time for the annual reality check: It's August now, which means we've got just a few short weeks left before the kids head back to school. Many of us are probably breathing a sigh of relief — there's just something about a set schedule that's comforting and familiar, right? And while I do enjoy the familiarity of it all, part of me will always miss the freedom of summer and long days we're leaving behind. Tell me you feel the same way!
I love the idea of establishing a few special back-to-school traditions to start things off on a positive note. After all, it can be kind of overwhelming and even scary to face the start of a brand new year! It definitely doesn't hurt to help give your kids a little extra encouragement in the form of a special dinner or sweet note in their lunch, anything to give them a boost. I've rounded up a few fantastic links and ideas in the gallery below to help get you started — that is, if you don't have your own already. If you do, please share. I'd love to hear them!
1. Sweet Encouragement: Sometimes a small treat with an encouraging note is more than enough to let your child know they are loved!
2. Mom and Me Date: I love this idea of taking each child on a special "Mom and Me" or "Dad and Me" date. Let them choose where and enjoy some one-on-one time with each other before the schedules, practices and homework kick in!
3. Love Notes: Even some of my older kids still tend to get nervous on their first day back, but it can be especially scary for the little ones heading off into the world. Love this idea of matching "tattoos" for Mom and child to give some courage throughout the day.
4. Special Back to School Breakfast: Send your kids off to school on their first day with the breakfast of their dreams! Cereal of choice, donuts, chocolate milk and juice. It's only once a year so … why not?!
5. Lunch Love Note: My mom would do this on occasion, and it always made me feel so special! The first day of school certainly calls for such sentiments.
6. Family Motto: Selecting a mission statement or motto for the year is an interesting idea. Which words would you choose?
7. Schultuete School Cones: There's an old German tradition called Schultuete, in which children heading back to school are given cones filled with trinkets, sweets, and back-to-school supplies. I found a cute tutorial on how to make your own version of this fun tradition.
8. Back to School Special Dinner: Breakfast, lunch or dinner — sharing a special meal together as family and perhaps incorporating some annual traditions is a wonderful thing to do. Consider establishing a family motto like we talked about earlier, or perhaps setting some goals for the year, discussing things to look forward to and other things of that sort. Stephanie Nielsen always does a fabulous job with back-to-school dinners for her children.
9. After School Water Fight: How fun is this?! Surprise your kids by ambushing them at the bus stop (once safely off the bus, of course) with an impromptu water fight. I guarantee it will be a wonderful and fantastically fun end to a busy first day back.
10. Yearly Time Capsule: This is a fun idea! Gather together a few favorite items, recent photos, current likes, etc. and put them in a container to stash away until the next year when you pull them out to see how much everything's changed. A time capsule, of course!
11. Family Movie Night: More than anything, I think it's important to just have an activity or evening set aside to spend time with one another before the hustle and bustle of the school year arrives and everyone is pulled their separate ways. A family backyard movie night before school starts is a great idea, and sure to become a favorite tradition.

Welcome if you are a boardgamer or curious about them!
Boardgaming is simply loads of fun! I started out primarily as a board wargamer due to my interest in military history but have branched out to Eurogames which has broadened my horizons and brought me in contact with terrific friends.
I've started this blog to give a view of boardgaming here in the UK or "Blighty".
Blighty – a slang term for Great Britain used by British troops serving abroad
I hope to provide a variety of things here:
- Primarily, Board Game news updates, particularly regarding UK designed and published games
- NOTE – I do short reviews, the kind I prefer to read. I don't do detailed, indepth analysis, going through every inch of a game, spoiling your own voyage of discovery. I don't do strategy articles. Nice, concise overviews of what you get, my experience and feelings about my experience is what I do. If you want long boring analysis, go get a pillow and look on boardgamegeek. If you don't like that I keep it concise, well, er…, tough.
- Links to UK based shops selling great boardgames
- Links to information about boardgame conventions accessible to UK boardgamers
- Links to great resources about boardgames including THE DADDY – Boardgamegeek!

Marquette Interchange traffic extremely slow this morning
Traffic through downtown Milwaukee is very slow Thursday morning, and its all because of road construction.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation reports that westbound traffic on Interstate 794 leaving downtown is extremely slow -- if not at a standstill -- due to the construction of a new driving lane just west of downtown on I-94.
Lane closures south of the Marquette Interchange are also leading to standstill backups for drivers trying to leave downtown to the north.
The Wisconsin DOT reports backups exceed 5 miles as of 8:20 a.m. for drivers headed west or north on I-794.

The Crimson Tide appeared to take steps toward filling one position coach spot Thursday, when discussions began with Tuskegee University defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Reginald Ruffin, according to another source with knowledge of Alabama's goals.
Who is Reggie Ruffin, you ask? Here is some explanation:
Add Ruffin as a serious option, and the interest is believed to be mutual.
He is a former three-time All-American at North Alabama who has worked himself up from the high school ranks. This past year, his third at Tuskegee, he helped the team to a 10-1 record. In 2007, the team won a black college national championship with an 11-0 record.
Before that, In 2008, Ruffin's defense was ranked second in the SIAC, allowing 18.2 points per game. He is also, apparently, a top-notch recruiter who knows the state well.
What do you think?
As for finding replacements for Steele and Thompson, the candidate list is believed to also include:
-- Former Hoover High defensive coordinator and current UA administrator Jeremy Pruitt
-- Former Tide administrator and current Central Florida linebackers coach Geoff Collins
-- Travis Jones, the New Orleans Saints assistant defensive line coach who has worked for Saban in the past.

Skyrim's Latest Update Revives Hope of Revisiting Morrowind
How would you like to go for a trip back to Solstheim?
By Chris Pereira Oct 16, 2012 1:42PM PSTTags: PC The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (XBOX) Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon (PC) Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PC) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PS3) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (XBOX 360)
Bethesda yesterday released a new beta update for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, bringing the game up to version 1.8. It will come to all Steam players, as well as those on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, at a later time. For now, only those who specifically opt in to receiving the update (instructions on how to do so can be found here) will be able to receive exciting new features such as "Fixed rare crash when using vampiric grip," "General memory and stability improvements," and the much-anticipated, "Fixed rare issue where exterior door would not open properly."
On the surface, the update appears to be insignificant unless you're suffering from one of the specific problems being addressed. However, some sleuthing on the part of fans has revealed hints in the patch about Skyrim's next downloadable content pack -- one which may contain some particularly interesting additions.
In addition to a trademark filing on the name "Dragonborn" by Bethesda parent company ZeniMax found by Bethesda forum member Mardoxx, it's been discovered that the latest update contains references to Dragonborn. The prevailing belief is this is the name of the next DLC release. If so, that in and of itself is no big deal; we know more DLC is coming, and the name doesn't tell us much considering Dragonborn is a term used throughout Skyrim.
Where eyebrows start to be raised are in some of the other things buried in this latest patch. Among them are files containing the words "DragonMounted," which has been taken to mean that dragons will soon be something you can ride like a horse. That concept is awesome -- flying around the world would be much more fun than riding on a horse or using fast travel, and doing so on the back of a dragon would make your character look much more imposing. Of course, we can't dismiss the possibility "DragonMounted" is merely referring to dragon-mounted AI characters. That would be awfully disappointing if it proves to be the case, though it would serve fans right for jumping to totally awesome conclusions.
What seems like less of a leap is the other big detail Mardoxx mentioned: the DLC is set in Solstheim. If the name sounds familiar, it's because it was the location of the excellent Bloodmoon expansion for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It's an island located to the northwest of Vvardenfell, the main landmass in Morrowind, and is fairly similar to Skyrim in terms of climate (snowy with some forested areas), making it a relatively easy location to set a Skyrim expansion in. Purported locations within Solstheim include Raven Rock (the East Empire Company settlement you help to develop in Bloodmoon) and Castle Karstaag.
The idea of being able to revisit the locales from Morrowind in future Skyrim content first arose when it was discovered that the landmasses from both Morrowind and Oblivion were included in Skyrim. As Bethesda later explained, this was primarily so that they could be seen from the high mountains located in Skyrim. In his explanation, game director Todd Howard did not shoot down the possibility that these areas could be used in the future, helping to sustain hope that DLC would eventually open these locations up to Skyrim players.
Morrowind remains my favorite game in the series and, as such, I'd love to be able to revisit its world in particular within Skyrim. While a promising mod project is hoping to bring Morrowind as a game into the Skyrim engine, an official DLC release would have to include new content in that region. As much as I would like to go back and reexperience a nicer-looking version of that game, I'm also interested in seeing its setting used for something new.
Being able to go back to Vvardenfell itself in Skyrim seems unlikely, though, due to the way things have changed there. The volcano in the middle of the region, Red Mountain, erupted prior to the events of Skyrim, and most of its inhabitants have since left. Whether there's enough of a presence from anyone to sustain a DLC pack remains to be seen.
At the very least, returning to Solstheim would be a welcome move, even if the location itself isn't as unique as it once was. Presumably players would be doing more than building a home and establishing a family, so those who took issue with Heathfire should be in store for something more up their alley. And for longtime series fans like myself who have fond memories of exploring the snowy expanses of Bloodmoon, Dragonborn could be as close as we get to having the opportunity to revisit Morrowind.

Taubman Shines in OutreachTuesday, October 6th, 2015
By Anna Ercoli Schnitzer
Informationist–Disability Issues and Outreach
Taubman Health Sciences Library
The University of Michigan's Taubman Health Sciences Library had excellent representation at the Health Professions Education Day held in the Rogel Ballroom of the Michigan Union on the morning of September 16, 2015. In addition to a number of accepted posters by our informationists, the Library (represented by Jingyi Wang, our previous student who is now a School of Public Health graduate, and myself) staffed a table demonstrating activities that Taubman presents for GMR Outreach in collaboration with other University of Michigan units: (Give Kids a Smile, Asian-American Health Fair, Comprehensive Cancer Center's Diabetes Conference, etc).
Dr. Catherine D. DeAngelis was an outstanding keynote speaker on "Patient Care and Professionalism." reminding the audience of physicians, nurses, social workers, dentists, epidemiologists, pharmacists, kinesiologists, all their students, and other professionals (not health care "providers"–a term she objects to) that the primary focus of their attention should be the patient. She also pointed out that medical care is being adversely affected by marketing and pharmaceutical big business, as well as concomitant legal ramifications. (more…)

Parents and students in Amarillo Independent School District aren't the only ones concerned about graduation policies.
Debates over whether students walk at graduation ceremonies without passing state exams have erupted in the San Antonio area, the Fort Worth area and in the Tampa Bay, Fla., area.
Texas law sets requirements for students to receive a high school diploma, which include meeting course requirements and passing state exams, said Clint Carpenter, an assistant professor for Texas Tech University. School boards decide who walks across the stage at graduation or commencement ceremonies. Some school districts allow students to walk without passing state tests, though they still do not receive a diploma.
"The problem is it's left up to the schools to decide," Carpenter said.
For some people, graduation ceremonies serve as a rite of passage, marking the completion of 12 years of school and participation in the school program, Carpenter said. For others, graduation ceremonies recognize those students who completed all necessary requirements for a diploma, he said.
Seniors in the Class of 1987 were the first students required to pass an 11th-grade test to receive their diplomas, according to the Texas Education Agency.
Starting their junior year, students have up to five opportunities to pass the current state test, the exit-level Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, before May graduation ceremonies. Statewide this year, 40,182 students still had not passed the exit-level exam. In Amarillo ISD, 153 seniors did not pass the exam.
"Texas certainly isn't alone in requiring a high school exit exam," said Alan Richard, spokesman for the Southern Regional Education Board, a nonprofit organization that studies education in 16 states in a region that spans from Texas to Maryland.
Half of the states covered included in the Southern Regional Education Board require students to pass exams for a diploma; the other eight states do not require students to pass their exams for a diploma.
Students in some states take comprehensive exams, with the math portion possibly covering Algebra I, geometry and Algebra II, Richard said. In other states, high school students take end-of-course exams that cover one subject at a time, such as Algebra I.
The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires sophomores in every state to take a state exam, but does not require an exam for graduation.
Florida is among the states that do require an exam for graduation.
A Tampa Bay-area school district changed its graduation policy this month to allow students who did not pass the Florida state test to participate in graduation ceremonies as long as they achieved a certain grade-point average, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
In addition to sophomores, Texas law requires freshmen and juniors to take TAKS and for all students to pass the 11th-grade test for a diploma. The state gives juniors five chances to take the exam before May graduation ceremonies.
Like the parents who turned out for Monday's Amarillo school board meeting, dozens of angry parents showed up at board meetings in San Antonio-area and Fort Worth-area school districts to protest graduation policies that exclude students who do not pass their exit-level TAKS from graduation ceremonies, the San Antonio Express-News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
State standardized tests emerged at the high school level in the 1980s in response to a national report that a high school diploma was not as valuable as they once were, said Joan Lord, director of educational policies for the Southern Regional Education Board. The tests were aimed at making high school diplomas more meaningful.
In Texas, lawmakers responded to concerns from the business community and college officials that students did not adequately grasp what they learned in public schools, said DeEtta Culbertson, spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency. A 1984 law created the Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills, or TEAMS, a predecessor of TAKS. The Class of 1987 had to pass the TEAMS test to receive a diploma.
A test was one way to verify students had adequate skills.
