What is it used for?
- Relieving moderate to severe pain in cancer or following surgery.
- Relieving severe pain that is not relieved by weaker painkillers.
How does it work?
OxyContin prolonged-release tablets contain the active ingredient oxycodone, which is a type of medicine called an opioid painkiller. It is related to morphine. Oxycodone is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.
Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors.
Oxycodone mimicks the action of natural endorphins by combining with the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This blocks the transmission of pain signals sent by the nerves to the brain. Therefore, even though the cause of the pain may remain, less pain is actually felt.
Oxycodone is used to relieve moderate to severe pain, for example associated with cancer or severe injury, or following surgery.
OxyContin prolonged-release tablets are designed to release the oxycodone slowly over 12 hours as the tablet passes through the gut. This helps provide steady blood levels of the medicine throughout the day and prolonged pain relief. This type of tablet should be swallowed whole and not broken, crushed or chewed, as this would damage the prolonged-release action.
How do I take it?
- The dose of oxycodone that your doctor prescribes will depend on your individual circumstances and level of pain. Always follow the instructions given by your doctor. These will also be printed on the dispensing label that your pharmacist has put on the packet of medicine. Do not exceed the dose prescribed by your doctor.
- OxyContin tablets must be swallowed whole with a drink. They must NOT be broken, crushed or chewed, as this would cause the whole dose of oxycodone in the tablet to be released and absorbed at once, which could potentially be fatal.
- The tablets can be taken either with or without food.
- OxyContin should be taken twice a day, every 12 hours. Take the tablets at the same times each day, eg 8am and 8pm.
- If you forget to take a dose at your usual time and you remember within 4 hours of the time it was due, take the dose straight away. Take your next dose at your normal time. If you are more than 4 hours late when you remember, please call your doctor or pharmacist for advice. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
- This medicine may cause drowsiness and dizziness and can affect your ability to concentrate. This could affect your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this medicine affects you and you are sure you can do so safely.
- You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as this will increase the chance of you feeling drowsy or dizzy.
- From March 2015 a new 'drug driving' law comes into force, which makes it an offence to drive with certain drugs or prescription medicines above specified limits in your body. Oxycodone is in the same class as some of the medicines on the list, which means it may be an offence to drive while you are taking this medicine. The new law will allow police to use roadside drug tests to check for the presence of the prohibited drugs in a driver's saliva. There are very low limits for illegal drugs, but higher limits for prescribed medicines. This means most people taking oxycodone as prescribed will not be breaking the law, provided they are not driving dangerously. If you test positive for one of the medicines there is a medical defence if you are taking it as prescribed, as long as your driving is not impaired. If you are taking a high dose of oxycodone it may therefore be sensible to carry your prescription with you if you feel you are safe to drive, in case you are asked to take a test by the police. You should not drive if you think this medicine affects your ability to drive safely, for example if it makes you feel sleepy, dizzy, unable to concentrate or make decisions, or if you have blurred or double vision. If you are driving dangerously while taking this medicine you will be breaking the law.
- Opioids such as oxycodone frequently cause constipation. Constipation can often be eased by eating plenty of fibre, such as fruit, green leafy vegetables and bran and by drinking six to eight glasses of water each day. However, if this doesn't work or is not possible a laxative may be needed. Ask your doctor for advice if you get constipated while taking this medicine.
- If this medicine is taken for prolonged periods of time, the body can become tolerant to it and it may become less effective at relieving pain. This means that with time, higher doses may be needed to control pain. With prolonged use the body may also become dependent on the medicine. As a result, withdrawal symptoms can occur if the medicine is stopped suddenly. For this reason, when a person no longer needs this medicine it may be necessary to reduce treatment gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
- Oxycodone is a controlled drug. If you are planning to travel abroad with it you should check its legal status in the countries you are travelling through and to. There are legal limits on how much of this medicine you can take abroad with you. If you need to take more than this limit you will have to apply to the Home Office for a licence before you travel. Even if you don't need a licence, if you are taking this medicine abroad it is always a good idea to carry a letter from your doctor that confirms your need for the medicine. You should always carry the medicine in correctly labelled packaging, as dispensed by the pharmacy.

When a character doesn't talk much, it helps if the actor playing him has eloquent eyes. They don't come more expressive than Gosling's soulful pools, which he uses to often heartbreaking effect in Lars and the Real Girl, a delightful comedic drama that's easily one of this year's quirkiest and most endearing surprises.
Gosling plays Lars Lindstrom, a 27-year-old, painfully shy introvert who lives in a small Midwestern town in a converted garage next to the house occupied by his older brother (Schneider) and pregnant sister-in-law (Mortimer). Lars rebuffs all social overtures until, one day, he proudly begins introducing Bianca, his new girlfriend. The hitch: Bianca is a life-size doll. But to Lars, she's real. And his family, colleagues and neighbors soon play along because they care for him so much.
Lars is about letting go and growing up, about learning to distinguish between the world as we want it to be and as it is, accepting the latter while understanding the lure of the former. All of which makes the film sound far more dour than it is. Rather, it's funny, touching and wise, and often all three at the same time. Director Craig Gillespie (he also made the recent witless comedy Mr. Woodcock, but I won't hold that against him) and his talented cast beautifully tread that delicate line between cute and pathos, never tipping over to either side. Don't miss this one.

CLEMSON - It wasn't a cataclysmic slip, but K.J. McDaniels ended up on the not-so-advantageous side of the inter-round bridge.
Had McDaniels been taken late in the first round, not only would he have ended up with a perennial playoff-contending club (San Antonio, Miami, OKC, LA Clippers, etc.) but his contract would have been guaranteed as a top-30 pick.
Instead, Clemson's first-team all-ACC forward joins a rebuilding project in Philadelphia, which had the second-worst record in the NBA last winter.
McDaniels also faces an uphill climb to remain relevant in the NBA: the last seven No. 32 picks before him are no longer in the league, and none lasted longer than two years. Only one No. 32 pick in the past 60 years (Rashard Lewis) has made an All-Star Team.
Think that's arbitrary based on No. 32? It's just an illustration. Plus, go look at the second-rounders from the past four years or so. The occasional success story breaks through - the Pacers' Lance Stephenson, the Rockets' Chandler Parsons and the Warriors' Draymond Green come to mind - but more often than not, NBA teams simply aren't counting on second-rounders to be their savior.
However, McDaniels is still in line for a nice payday. Unlike NFL first-year contracts which strictly adhere to the rookie wage scale (and all are 4-year deals, per the CBA), NBA agents and teams have more flexibility in how to sign their newest players.
Unfortunately, the previous pair of No. 32 picks were each international players who have yet to appear in an NBA game or sign a contract, so I couldn't use them as examples. Therefore, let's go with the top four second-round picks of the 2013 NBA Draft who did sign with their teams. (All figures are courtesy of the amazingly addictive web site, Spotrac.com.)
No. 31: Allen Crabbe, SG, Blazers
2 years, $1,687,000 ($843,500 avg) ... $825,000 in 2013-14 ... $1,687,000 guaranteed (whole contract guaranteed, club option for 2015-16)
No. 33: Carrick Felix, SG, Thunder
4 years, $3,289,454 ($822,364 avg) ... $510,000 in 2013-14 ... $2,273,758 guaranteed (first 3 years guaranteed)
No. 34: Isaiah Canaan, PG, Rockets
3 years, $2,334,273 ($778,091 avg) ... $570,515 in 2013-14 ... $2,144,818 guaranteed (first 2 years guaranteed, 3rd year 80 percent guaranteed)
No. 35: Glen Rice, Jr., SG, Wizards
2 years, $1,306,662 ($653,331 avg) ... $490,180 in 2013-14 ... $890,180 guaranteed (first year guaranteed, 2nd year roughly 50 percent guaranteed)
As you can see, we've got a 4-year deal, a 3-year deal and a couple of 2-year deals. And as you would expect, the average salary per season on the contract is highest for No. 31, and decreases a bit with each pick thereafter. Since wage scales escalate each season, we should project McDaniels to be looking at approximately $850,000 per season on his rookie deal - maybe a touch less than that, but not much.
As closely bunched as Crabbe, Felix, Canaan and Rice were within the draft, it's interesting to see how much their pro teams invested in them. Crabbe was only given a 2-year deal, but the whole thing ($1.687 million) was guaranteed, and the club can pick up his option for a third season at nearly $950,000.
Felix might have the sweetest situation, with the most years on the contract and the most guaranteed money. But while Crabbe banked $825,000 last year, Felix dipped to $510,000, as his salary leaps to $816,482 next year, so he had to be a bit patient.
Canaan's pretty secure, as more than 90 percent of his 3-year deal is guaranteed. Rice has to prove himself with the Wizards, with just a 2-year pact that guaranteed him less than a million dollars up front.
If McDaniels ends up with a Rice-like deal, he'll have to be very, very good immediately if he doesn't want to end up in Europe before his mid-20s. But a contract similar to Felix's might show the 76ers want to develop him within a young athletic core of 6-6 point guard Michael Carter-Williams - the 2014 Rookie of the Year - and rim-protectors Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid.
We shall see.

MIFFLINTOWN - The Rev. James Wooster wants to keep the Aldersgate United Methodist Church true to its name.
On May 24, 1738, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, reluctantly walked in to a worship service on Aldersgate Street in London, because he felt his heart "strangely warmed." Wesley came to trust in Christ as his savior that evening, Wooster explained.
"My hope for Aldersgate is that we be a place where hearts are warmed and faith is found," Wooster said.

The Rev. James Wooster is the new pastor at the Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Mifflintown.
The young pastor who moved to Mifflintown in 2009 with his wife, Michelle, recently was ordained at the Third Street Church.
Before ordination, ministers serve Methodist churches as "local pastors" who serve just that one congregation; but once ordained, pastors gain the title of full elder, which means they take on the responsibility of the whole Church, Wooster explained. Ordained ministers also can perform the sacraments such as marriage ceremonies in other congregations, he said.
The Clearfield native served several Central Pennsylvania congregations before being transferred to Aldersgate, he said. While his interest in the ministry occurred at a young age, Wooster said he did begin serving as a pastor until 2005.
"My first inkling to pastoral ministry was in seventh grade," Wooster said.
He remembered the pastor in his confirmation class asking if anyone there would consider going into the ministry, and Wooster said yes.
"But I was a loud, hyperactive kid, and I didn't think that was what a pastor should be," he said.
In college, he considered becoming an English teacher until his first experiences in the classroom made him realize that the career just was not for him. One of his professors then suggested he consider the ministry.
After graduation, he worked for several years with therapeutic staff support, which intervenes for children with behavioral health problems both in schools and the community.
During this point in his life, Wooster said the hints toward ministry "got bizarre." People stopped him on the street to ask if he was a pastor, and a hotel clerk assumed he was a minister and gave him a clergy discount, he remembered.
Then during a Promise Keepers rally in Pittsburgh, Wooster said he felt God's strong call to the ministry.
When a rally speaker told all the clergy to stand up, Wooster said: "It was all I could do to stay in my seat. I heard God say, 'This is who I want you to be.'"
Since then, his ministry work has included more than just his congregations. Wooster said he has been involved in youth ministry since he first became a camp counselor in high school.
During his ministry at Aldersgate, Wooster said he hopes to help the congregation open its doors to the community. One of the ways he does this is by wearing jeans to the morning contemporary service.
"So often folks feel like they can't go to church because they don't have anything to wear or don't know what to do, but we want this to be a home to people, to have their hearts warmed and to find faith," Wooster said.
Family: Wife, Michelle of 3 years, a cat and dog
Hometown: Clearfield
Education: 1996 graduate of Susquehanna University with degrees in psychology and English; Asbury Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity in 2005
Activities/interests: Ballroom dancing, reading, cooking and theater.
Worship times: Contemporary service at 8:30 a.m., Sunday school at 9:35 a.m. and traditional worship at 10:30 a.m.
What is your favorite Bible verse?
Ephesians 4:11-13, "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
This verse reminds me that it's not my job to do all the ministry of the church. My job is to help the people of the church step forward into ministry.

Cool Stuff to Do
Get Out There
(page 2 of 5)
Nordic Skiing at Craters of the Moon
Headed to Jackson Hole this winter? Have a meeting in Idaho Falls? Looking for a change of scenery? Try stopping by the Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve for a winter wonderland treat!
Recognized for its unique volcanic attributes, Craters of the Moon has long been acknowledged as one of the country's wildest and most unusual geologic sites. You'll quickly understand why this area of the Snake River Plain captured the attention of Idaho explorer Robert Limbert back in the 1920's.
Limbert trekked through the impressive 50 miles of volcanic formations and shared his findings in an acclaimed National Geographic article. Reputable geologists, like Harold Stearns, also brought attention to this wondrously weird landscape that evokes feelings of being on the moon. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge forever protected this area by creating a national monument. In 2000 the National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management partnered together and expanded the area to 750,000 acres (which is close in size to the Sawtooth Wilderness Area). The Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is alluring to people of all ages and interests during any season.
During the snow-covered winter landscape, this remarkable place has long been available to cruise around on skis, but now the experience will be even better. I was surprised and excited when National Park Service Ranger Lennie Ramacher told me they purchased a Piston Bully snow groomer last year. With adequate snow comes grooming: classic or skate skiing styles, take your pick. In the winter, the sevenmile paved road that loops through Crater of the Moon's most scenic spots is transformed into a flowing white Nordic track.
Ski through an Ansel Adams-type landscape where great black cinder cones peek up from the frosted white layers and limber pines are caked with snow and ice, frozen in various poses. And although you may not see the wildlife, prints of all sizes speckle the snowy surface.
When asked why he enjoys the park in the winter, Ranger Lennie described how peaceful this vast area becomes. "It's a completely different experience than the other seasons," he said. "The light, the solitude and the space creates a spirituality that's tough to describe." He looks forward to his daily patrol of the trail where he can get fresh air and exercise while on the job!
As with most remarkable places, one needs to experience it first-hand to really get to know it. I was captivated this fall as I day-tripped to the park with my family. Impressed by how welcoming the visitor center was, in terms of use of space, presentation of information and, of course, the enthusiasm of the rangers, I told them I'd be back this winter to have a ski. Then we grabbed our packs and headlamps, and drove out the loop in preparation for exploring several caves [For more on cave exploration at Craters, click here]. We conquered Buffalo Cave, as well as Dew Drop, and you can bet we'll be back for more. I had anticipated a moment of "we should have done this before . . . it's so close and so amazing" and indeed, that became true.
Now it's your turn to go and get out there! -Nicky Elsbree

Syria vows to 'crush' rebels, launches new attacks
BEIRUT -- Syria's military will "crush" armed rebels, President Bashar Assad's defense minister warned Saturday, as the regime shelled rebel positions in two cities and near the Lebanese border in a widening offensive.
Neighboring Turkey, meanwhile, set new rules of engagement after three shells from Syria hit Turkish territory Saturday. Turkey retaliated with artillery, as it has for the past four days, and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said this would now be the standard response.
Davutoglu insisted that "we haven't taken a step toward war," but Turkey's threat to fire back for each errant Syrian shell was bound to keep border tensions high. Turkey is one of Assad's harshest critics and a key supporter of Syria's opposition.
The latest Syria-Turkey crisis erupted earlier this week, after a Syrian shell killed five civilians in a Turkish border town.
The Syrian regime has apologized and tried to defuse tensions by pulling some tanks back from the border, according to a Turkish Foreign Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations. Still, the week's daily cross-border exchanges have heightened fears of a regional conflagration.
Syria's civil war has been stalemated for months, but Syrian Defense Minister Gen. Fahd Jassem al-Freij insisted Saturday that the regime is gaining the upper hand.
The government denies it is facing a home-grown rebellion, saying it is being targeted by a foreign conspiracy against the regime's support for anti-Israeli groups.
"The most dangerous parts of the conspiracy have ... passed and the killing is on its way to decline," said al-Freij, who was named to the job after his predecessor was assassinated in July. He offered amnesty to rebels who repent but said those who don't "will be crushed under the feet of our soldiers."

Thursday evening weather webcastUPDATED 6:17 PM EDT Jun 26, 2014
WLKY has your Thursday evening weather webcast.Video Transcript
many of us will stay dry. Expect that to change for the weekend. A series of disturbances over the Mississippi River delta and back in the south Plains will skirt through the Ohio Valley, generating scattered daytime showers and storms. Neither day will be a wash out but the additional humidity, clouds, and showers will be noticeable. Early next week will become hot and humid with increasing storm chances again on Tuesday as a weak front approaches. Early signs are that this front will eventually bring us clear and drier air by late week - which would coincide with at least part of the Independence holiday weekend. Fingers crossed!!

If you go by Gunbroker it is whatever the buyer is willing to pay. From I have heard NIB G19s have been selling for $1200.00, which is beyond absurd.
Before the panic Gen 3s were about $489-$500 and $530 for Gen 4s in my area.
My advice is wait until this insanity dies down before buying.

Well before the Great Panic of 2012 a used 3rd Generation Glock 19 with all the stuff, two mags, loader, papers, brush and fired case. They were selling for $385 to $430 depending on where in the Tampa Area the store or gun show was.
After that time who could say some people will pay way too much.
February 6, 2013, 06:48 PM
I paid 549 for a new Gen 3. Probably overpaid but they had some.

I'm probably not going too far out on a limb in suggesting that when we come to shul each year to begin the book of Vayikra, we feel quietly relieved that the "lecture" won't be followed by a "lab."
We're confident that the chances of our rabbi exhorting us to come next Shabbat with two year-old unblemished lambs for a pleasing fire-offering before the Lord are extremely small. (Rabbi Abraham Kook, chief rabbi of pre-state Palestine, actually opined that all of the offerings in the Third Temple will be vegetarian.)
Although strangely enough, I would argue that the cost of distancing ourselves emotionally from the world of sacrifices has been high, and that the historical lapsing of the practice has had a negative impact on the state of our contemporary religious practice.
Sacrifices were never actually about sacrifice. Sacrifices were about the willingness to sacrifice.
God did not command our ancestors to offer sacrifices because He needed or wanted them. "For what do I need your numerous offerings, saith the Lord?" (Isaiah 1:11).
Rather, God did so in order to instill and reinforce within us an essential feature of the entirety of religious living, namely the willingness to endure personal sacrifice in the pursuit of doing that which is holy and that which is good.
It's impossible to compare the power and potential of religious commitment that comes with the willingness to sacrifice with those of a commitment that are not thus accompanied. If I am committed, for example, to feed the hungry of my city, and I am prepared to expose myself to the cold, the rain and other unpleasant circumstances in order to do it, I will impact much more powerfully than if I am unprepared to do so.
Yet, despite the obviousness of this observation, we very often fail to apply its implications to the wide swath of our religious commitments. Consider these three examples:
A holy ethic of speech
We are each committed to the Torah's vision of holy and ethical speech. We recognize the damage we can inflict by publicly humiliating others (the rabbis compare it to murder), the pain we can inflict through cruel or insensitive use of words (the Torah employs the term "oppression" to describe speaking in this way) and the irremediable harm we can cause by speaking ill of others (even when what we have said is true).
But how much personal sacrifice are we willing to endure to uphold this commitment? In certain situations, our commitment will require us to sacrifice personal popularity, reputation, even personal pride. The holiness of verbal discretion is not always appreciated in all social or professional circumstances. To what extent is the willingness to sacrifice part of our commitment to ethical speech?
Identifying with the grand narrative of the Jewish people
Broken down to its most basic formulation, to have a Jewish identity is to commit to consciously live one's life as a chapter in the ongoing narrative of Jewish history. We each can and do define this in our own way, but the objective is a common one. The premise of such a life, of course, is being anchored in the chapters of the narrative that have already been written.
The instrument through which we achieve that anchoring is the observance of our holidays. Sure, we love and cherish our holidays. But we often are not prepared to make the sacrifices necessary if we are to truly, deeply "become one" with the chapters of our history that they embody.
We often hesitate when it comes to making dietary sacrifices (Tisha B'Av, Passover), sacrifices in our convenience (Sukkot), professional/financial sacrifices (Shabbat). But with no pain, there's no gain. And our ability to firmly establish our place in our people's ongoing story is diluted.
Seeing the world through God's eyes
We are each aware of our own limitations. Our best and most sincere efforts are vulnerable to the intrusions of our egos and to the variety of ulterior motives that are endemic to the human condition. The best antidote we have is daily prayer -- when we hold up our deeds and thoughts before God, and we see them as God does.
Any impurities in our motives or insincerities in our intentions are revealed, and we emerge from prayer with the blessed ability to fine-tune our course. Prayer, too, requires sacrifice however; sacrifice of the most elusive of all quantities nowadays --that of time. Prayer simply takes time.
The details of Parshat Vayikra indeed come to us from an era long ago. But the underlying message, the need to be willing to make sacrifices in order to realize our deepest commitments, is timeless. The reward for this willingness is nothing less than the unlocking of all the hidden potential that resides within our most profound and cherished ideals.
Yosef Kanefsky is the rabbi of B'nai David-Judea Congregation, a Modern Orthodox congregation in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood.

So, I have a question... Some of these are coming in on balance, and others tail heavy. Has anyone with a tail heavy corsair opened it up to find out why? Seems that one fix is to add weight to the nose, which is what most are doing when the plane is tail heavy. Could the difference be too much glue in the tail? Is there a way to remove excess glue or foam that should have been removed. I'd look on mine, but mine balanced right out of the box.
well this is my understanding of a coordinated turn. its when you add a little rudder in the same direction as the turn you are making with the ailerons. which allows the tail to follow the line of the turn instead of the tail being dragged through the turn. it will make for quicker, smoother turns.
also is the corsair motor and gearbox the same as the p-51d's?
I like doing rudder turns with slight opposite aileron so that the wing is freakishly flat. Looks neat. I learned to do it while flying on the prop with a UM 4-Site in a much too small area where on-wing-flying would just been banked at all times and scary. So I was high alpha at all times instead. I was more comfortable turning flat and staying in high alpha than banking and yanking. I have a taileron plane for bank and yank.
Yes, the P-51D uses the same motor as the F4U.
The F4U that I have right now was assembled by me and I didn't use a lot of glue. However, I used a lot less glue on the motor mount than Horizon does. I used a light glue, they use piles of silicone. So mine may have been tail heavy from the factory, and my rebuild may be "nose-light". I'll have to take a look at CG sometime when I have the manual and the plane in the same place. I'd like to use as little ballast as possible and have it as far forward and close to the center of the fuse as possible. A dime under the nose might fix CG fore-aft, but top-bottom is guaranteed to be horribly balanced after.
I will:
~Check CG with dime fore/aft like people usually check
~Check CG with dime up/down to try to explain bad inverted performance
~Remove dime, check CG both ways
~Add lead shot to the nose of the fuse with tape to get CG correct
~Glue lead shot into the fuse at the nose
I don't have any loading supplies out here, so I'll have to take a razor to a shotshell.
The primary complaint is that the stock prop is too slow. Sure, the stock prop is also down on thrust, but the lack of airspeed is the root-cause of the handling problems. The stock UM F4U is simply not fast enough to get the airframe more than just barely 'up on the wing'. In the case we were discussing (level inverted flight), it is the low airspeed that is causing the plane to fly so 'heavy on the sticks'. Bump the airspeed up by 5-10 MPH, and the problem disappears. Adding more nose-weight than what is required simply increases the stall-speed & increases the amount of elevator trim needed for level flight - which increases the induced drag. This exacerbates the problem.
CG is factory correct with a dime. Imagine that. It's like 31-32mm without it.
Oh, and this is by mounting my battery farther forward than there is velcro to hold it. So I'll be adding shot near center to get it right so CG will be correct for rolls and it won't roll like a harley crankshaft.

For years I flew the prop on underpowered planes. I finally figured out a touch of downtrim made most of the delicacy in handling go away, as this kept the aircraft in the right flying attitude and kept airspeed up.
I haven't had real issues with this bird. Mine flew fine on the stock prop. I poked a hole in the back side of the cowl to move the CG a touch further up for more wind handling but, it was ok stock forward position.
With the 5043 on there now, the bird rolls like a power drill, has tons more control authority and does all the expected warbird aero easily. I can choose to fly the prop or the wing, with power to spare to pull out of any situation.
Strange problem today,
I just put a new 5043 and was having a blast with the plane, first battery was awesome. I did not wait and put on a second battery and after 3 mins of flight I lost control and then just got it again, I was not really far out maybe 50 feets. So I changed the remote's battery (stock controller here) and gave the plane a fresh battery... Same thing ! now when it's in my hand the servos move strange. Went back home, tried it again and everything looks fine servos are fast and smooth.
What could be the problem ? Don't tell me to get a real controller, it's already on the way.

I am a newbie here, but I do wonder if some of the trouble people are having with the Corsair has to do with their transmitter.
I see "porpoising" with my Corsair, but it may have more to do with over-controlling the elevator than with improper balance. I know that some people are running reduced rate or expo on the elevator, but I am using the transmitter from my RTF T-28, so dual rate is all or nothing.
Also, comparing the Corsair to the T-28, the way the elevator is constructed is different. In the Corsair, the connection between the 2 sides of the elevator is very flexible. What effect might that have?
I'm certainly not saying that none of the Corsairs are out of balance, but mine flew pretty well out of the box. Mostly what it lacks is pilot skill
Also, I have made several repairs on my Corsair now, and the weight of this little plane is increasing with every repair. That can't be good.
So, I am thinking of getting a DX6i. Will that help me be a better pilot?
I have a feeling the programmable rates and expo will be very useful, especially on the Corsair. Isn't is also possible to mix elevator with the throttle to help make it easier to maintain level flight?
So anyone has an idea ? I have 2 RTF controllers I'll go back to flying tonight and test both of them, but can it be possible that when the electronics gets hot they works strange ? Never hapenned to my trusty T-28 tough.
I got the solution, I bound the same transmitter again and was able to get trough 7 batteries without any problems.
I would like to thank Turboparker for all his help, now my F4U has a 5043 prop and adapter, I learned what is to fly on the prop and on the wing, and what is tail heavy.
Thank you, now this plane is awesome !
I just recent got a DX7, I'd been flying 3-channel ultra micros for a few years and the DX7 was by far the best purchase I ever made. I am mad that I waited so long to get a real TX. Get one ASAP, trust me - you will LOVE it.
Keith, I gotta say, I am one of those D.A.M. happy converts out here!
I've had my Corsair since its release and I have many (many) flights on her... was never totally sold on the flight characteristics of her though, but I was able to fly her fairly steady until this eve...she's too cool lookin' NOT to fly ... but now she flys D.A.M. good!
hey, I don't get it, I thought she balanced pretty well at the 30-31mm with landing gear, but using some dbl sided tape I stuck a dime as far forward under her cowl and she's right about dead on the 28mm mark and best of all shes fly's like I'd hoped she could... daaaang, a HUGE difference in steady & smooth!! enough so that I moved all my control horns to max and tweaked my dual rates a little and hoooly moly, on high rates she rolls like I never thought she could/would
anyways... thanks for the idea!

First as Dukes of Florence and then as Grand Dukes of Tuscany, the Medici became players in an area that extended from Safavid Persia to the Republic of Venice. The Medici Archive Project is organizing a conference dedicated to the relations between the Medici and the wide cultural, social and geographic area that in time has come to be identified as 'the Levant.' The period covered will extend from 1532, when the Medici received the ducal title, until the death of the last member of the dynasty in 1743. Contributions highlighting any of the connections between the Medici state and the Levant, or dealing with the Medici and their perception of the East – or with their reception in that part of the world – are welcome.

Welcome guests to your home with a festive welcome button shamrock, an easy Saint Patrick's Day craft to make with your button stash from Amanda Formaro.
- 4 paper mache hearts
- assortment of colorful buttons
- acrylic paint in green, black and white
- scissors
- hot glue gun
- old toothbrush
- acrylic sealer spray, matte finish
- On work surface, position the four paper mache hearts into a clover design. Hot glue them together. Use scissors to trim off the hangers from the hearts, leaving one on to hang the clover by.
- Paint clover completely with green acrylic paint. Repeat if needed.
- Dip the bristle tips of a toothbrush into some black paint that has been lightly thinned with a drop or two of water. Test your splattering ability on a piece of scrap paper before doing this on your clover. Hold toothbrush horizontally and drag your finger across the bristles, causing the paint to splatter spots wherever you aim it. When you are comfortable with this method, go ahead and splatter the entire surface of the clover with black paint. Clean out toothbrush and repeat this method with white paint. Spray entire surface with acrylic sealer spray and let dry.
- When dry, use hot glue to add buttons around the outer edge of the clover. Alternate the colors so that there are not too many of one color together. If you prefer, you can use gold and/or silver buttons in place of colorful buttons.

Not to be a curmudgeon, but a shamrock has three leaves. Your craft and many others on this site show "lucky" four-leaf clovers, not shamrocks.

The Eagan Wildcat football team has flown under the radar for the past couple of years.
In 2007, the Cats did not win a game in the regular season.
No one expected them to do anything in 2008, but they came out and won four games.
The next season had a lot of promise, until junior quarterback Jameson Parsons broke his right collarbone, costing him the rest of the regular season. Out of nowhere, senior Zach Zenner stepped up to the occasion and helped the Wildcats to the section semifinal game, until they lost to Cretin Derham Hall by one point. Eagan went for a two point conversion on the last play and they came up short.
Being a die-hard Wildcat fan, I'll admit I was very nervous in the 2010 season because a lot of starters were gone from the year before. The Cats exceeded my expectations, and especially in the section playoffs, making it to the section final, only to lose to Cretin, again.
Many players rose up to the occasion last year, and combined with the juniors that are coming to play this year, I believe the Wildcats are a dark horse this year for the South Suburban Conference.

Systemwide Events Calendar
Okinawa – Still Seeking Self-DeterminationOctober 16, 12:00pm - 1:15pm
Manoa Campus, EWC Burns Hall room 3015/19
PACIFIC CONNECTIONS via video-conference with University of French Polynesia
Okinawa – Still Seeking Self-Determination Megumi Chibana and Kyle Kajihiro, chaired by Joyce Chinen
Okinawa broadly refers to a geographical island chain between Kyushu (Japan) and Taiwan and is the southernmost and most recently added administrative region of Japan. Since 1996, people from Okinawa have started articulating their indigenous rights to self-determination under international law. In this small island chain in the Pacific Ocean, pressured by both Japanese and American foreign policies, homegrown Okinawan cultural, economic, and political development efforts have long been trivialized and even ignored outright. The recent wave of globalization have helped galvanize a modern Okinawan self-identity in line with the global indigenous movement. The panelists will trace important historical and social background and Okinawan narratives to discuss how a self-determination movement could possibly help Okinawans to rethink "domestic issues" that they have been struggling to solve. The discussion will also address transnational histories and politics of affinity and solidarity between Okinawa and Hawaiʻi.
Joyce Chinen is the director of the UHM Center for Okinawan Studies and professor of sociology at UH West Oʻahu. Megumi Chibana was born and raised in Okinawa. She is currently pursuing a PhD in political science with concentration on indigenous politics. Kyle Kajihiro is a graduate student in geography, a member of Oceania Rising!, and a founding member of the Hawaiʻi-Okinawan Alliance (HOA). This seminar is cosponsored by the Center for Okinawan Studies and Oceania Rising!

T03756 Man with a Bird 1929
Serravezza marble 35 × 8 × 7 1/2 (890 × 203 × 190)
Inscribed 'ML' r. of base
Transferred from the Victoria and Albert Museum 1983
Prov: ...; presented by D.H. Conner to the Department of Architecture and Sculpture, Victoria and Albert Museum 1930 (A.35–1930)
Exh: New Sculpture by Maurice Lambert, Arthur Tooth and Sons, June–July 1929 (8)
Lit: Edmund Dulac, 'The Work of Maurice Lambert', Studio, XCVIII, 1929, pp.504–8, repr. p.506
This sculpture was previously catalogued as 6096 and described in error as having been transferred to the Tate Gallery in 1952. The artist wrote to the Gallery on 8 September 1957:
'Man with a Bird', a very early work in marble...I suppose it made its way to the Tate, and I rather wish it hadn't.

Find the smallest integer solution to the equation 1/x^2 + 1/y^2 = 1/z^2
A group of 20 people pay a total of £20 to see an exhibition. The admission price is £3 for men, £2 for women and 50p for children. How many men, women and children are there in the group?
Euler found four whole numbers such that the sum of any two of the
numbers is a perfect square. Three of the numbers that he found are
a = 18530, b=65570, c=45986. Find the fourth number, x. You could
do this by trial and error, and a spreadsheet would be a good tool
for such work. Write down a+x = P^2, b+x = Q^2, c+x = R^2, and then
focus on Q^2-R^2=b-c which is known. Moreover you know that Q >
sqrtb and R > sqrtc . Use this to show that Q-R is less than or
equal to 41 . Use a spreadsheet to calculate values of Q+R , Q and
x for values of Q-R from 1 to 41 , and hence to find the value of x
for which a+x is a perfect square.
Explore the factors of the numbers which are written as 10101 in
different number bases.
Prove that the numbers 10201, 11011 and 10101 are composite in
any base.
