My Guillow´s Aeronca Champ Challanger
Hello everybody! I´m from Brazil and I have found and joint to this wonderfull Electric Flight Forum WattFlyer searching some topics about.
Carguy1994ca, very great job!!!
I did start to mount my Guillow´s Aeronca Champ kit last weak. I will take several picks of my Aeronca construction and comments about it.
My weight balance it´s a "analogic" arm "1gram precision"... but show a aproximate weights! I think! I will take several picks of my Aeronca construction and comments each Aeronca parts, weights, modification,...
Next weak I will post my comment/pictures here about our Guillow´s Aeronca construction and challange.
About the stimated weight of my Guillow´s Aeronca electric conversion it is about 3oz weight, including the model covering w/ all electronic/mecanical components aboard.
Let´s comments as soon!
Goodbye everybody and have a great Happy New Year!!!
ps.sorry me if my english writting is so bad or confused!!! I have to pratice more and more...
Hey aero2k4
welcome to RCGroups and to this tread. Keep us posted on your progress on the champ.
As for me, I will resume to building my champ this weekend. I had other projects come in the way lately and now I will have 5 days break from the job and hope to finish it. Stay tuned !

Yeah! Thanks!
Are you finish your electric Aeronca Champ? Great! It´s very necessary us building these little aircrafts as lightest possible, right? Particularly, because of the Guillow's kits are made with hard balsa, not AAA balsa quality.
It´s the first time I am converting a rubber model plane in a electric r/c. At the HomeFly webpage description that Aeronca Champ weights is about 33grams for rubber powered model!!!
My Aeronca model maybe weighs around 40~45grams only model covering without all electronic parts. My electonic/eletromechanical parts are:
-HobbyKing RX-8X (09grams);
-Hextronik 5grams 1400~2000kva 7.4v electric motor w/ mount and GWS 4x2.5 or 5x3 (08grams);
-ESC Turnigy Plush 6A (06grams);
-Lipo 2S pack 240mAh (12grams);
-02 BlueArrow 2.5grams micro servos (05grams);
Total weigh about 40grams.
I will covering my Aeronca with RA Microlite 5microns by Homefly.
I think mine entire Aeronca model will weighs about 90grams(~30oz).
Will mine Hextronik 1400~2000kva 7.4v motor pull ahead? This motor should provides average 10watt of power. Let´s we´ll see!
Carguy1994ca, which electric motor and propeller you will put in your Aeronca?
Did you weighs your electromechanical/electronic parts too?
PS.I haven´t no Aeronca model parts pictures now... next weak I will post it here.
Not finished yet. Target weight is about 4oz.

You have a very lighter RX! Just 3grams?
Mine is 9grams!!! See the picture and description into HK webpage: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dproduct=11168
I think to remove the plastic body of the HK-8X receiver... maybe I can eliminate 2 or 3grams receiver weight.
carguy1994ca, I saw too your picture about your motor. It´s more powerfull than mine and 3gram more! Great choose!
I will insert the bellow 2000kv 2Amax motor in my Aeronca model: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idproduct=6312
The tests commented on HK reviews tells it produces: 53gram thrust @ 1.4A/prop 4x2.5
It´s a great challange to put the little Aeronca on the sky!
We need to know how much is the maximum wing load(grams/dm^2) of the Guillow´s Aeronca Champ. Do you know any maximum wing load for it?
At HomeFly descriptions about Guillow´s Aeronca show the weight and wing area: 33g/5.5dm^2 = 6g/dm^2 for rubber powered.
The lower the wing load, the better flight and lower the stall speed. It´s the great challenge, I think.
Hi aero2k4,
What prop do you plan on using with that motor? Have you already ordered your RX?
It sounds like these 24" Guillow's builds will fly nicely up to 120g-140g. Some have gotten them to fly nicely at much heavier weights, but I think that 80-90g is a good weight to shoot for.
Maybe somebody would be able to comment on the attainability of this goal weight. It may be a bit to conservative; I cannot decide.

Hi Kody
yes, I did order, at 2010 april, my RX with TX at HobbyKing. it´s a HK-7X w/ TX HK-8X; the RX weights 9g.
I have two size of GWS props: 4"x2.5" and 5"x3". The recommended prop size for the Hextronik 1400~2000kv motor is the 4"x2.5" prop.
I did realized a motor running test board with the two props. The 4x2.5 prop runs better with much amperage comsuption than 5x3 prop.
I think the best size prop is a 4.5x3, just cut of a piece of the 5x3 prop.
I was really happy to hear that Guillow´s Aeronca can flight with weights about 120~140g!
Mine should be weights 90~100g. I hope!!!
Are you have mount any Guillow´s rubber aircraft and conveted it to electric flight?
Kody, about Guillow´s Aeronca model... Did you hear anything about the ideal wing load to flight it at electric configuration?
Thanks for the tips and comment!
I'd rather not clog your thread with a Utube link. I did the Champ a few years back and it came in at under 3oz if I remember correctly. Search for Guillows Champ and you'll find a video of my noodling around in a parking lot. Even at that light weight flying it in a gym would be a handfull. After an unforunate 72mhz glitch she has been hangin on my wall of shame waiting on a rebuild. This time, I'll strip all the solite covering, use RA Microlite instead and use one of the new FD 2.4 1gr RXs and two HK 1gr linear servos. The D1400 will remain as will the 2s, 100ma pack. Here's the link to my build. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=923681 Go back a step to the scale electric forum and look for the sticky near the top from Smokin' Beaver with all the Guillows conversions. There are many much better than mine there.
Thanks 56s, I'll try mine first outside then
Keep in mind that every gram of weight in the tail needs to be offset by 4 grams in the nose. Build your planes to fly, not to crash. Take a trip out to the local good 'ol boy airport and ask someone to show you a full scale airplane. You'll be shocked at how light they really are. I have a 54" Taylorcraft that weighs 10oz. The only damage I've done to this plane is when I had a mid-air collision with a Canadian goose. Don't ask: Stupid pilot tricks.....
I never heard about the run-in with the goose!
Konrad would be all over this thread. I wish he'd come back from his vacation. His work is definitely worth looking into for anyone interested in these "gummy band ships", as he would say.

I would like to apologize to you all for the delay in returning to the forum! It was fault of the parties and vacation of the new year!
Great!!! Dan, nice to meet you again here in the forum! You gave me some tips about the Guillow´s Aeronca Champ construction. Your Guillows Champ video at YouTube is amazing and so cute! Great job and flight, Dan! I´m seeing now, at link, your new job/rebuild on your Guillow´s Aeronca Champ. I seeing your Champ rebuild did make some modifications and detailed parts (wing tips, ajustable struts,...). Great idea!!!
Dan, thank you to recommend me to use the great RA Microlite from HomeFly! I did receive my order from HomeFly the lightest covering I've ever seen! It´s only 10grams/sq.meters and can be applied with hot iron too!!!

Dan(56S), Carguy1994ca, Monboy10, PipperCub49, and all forum friends...
I want to post here some pictures about my Guillow´s Aeronca Champ aircraft converted into electric model r/c flight. The pictures show the Aeronca parts, electrical/electronic components and each parts/components weights.
PS. Missing parts: landing gear, tailwheel, engine cow, wing struts and Microlite covering.
I'll be waiting for tips, advice and suggestions!

Hi, Carguy1994ca!!! How are you?!
Hey, what about your Guillow´s Aeronca Champ? Did you already finished it or make some high flights?!
The building Guillow´s chalenge process it´s the several sanding, sanding, sanding parts and the "best"/adequate choice to put the components parts into Aeronca and adjustment of the CG (center of gravity)
Let´s go ahead!!!

This is "Extreme Makeover," and it is kinetic sculpture artist Duane Flatmo's latest creation. And I have to say, being inside it--for that's where we are, inside a giant abstract head--is really funny. Especially when we pedal past neighbors of Flatmo's who don't even blink at the incredible concoction. They just wave.
My visit here is the first stop on Road Trip 2006, my gadget, technology and geekery-filled journey around the Pacific Northwest. And a fitting first stop it is, as it presents a combination of engineering genius, artistic elegance and plain old fun.
Flatmo is one of the pre-eminent practitioners of kinetic sculpture racing, a pastime that started informally here in 1969 and now is celebrated with a giant three-day event involving dozens of entrants each Memorial Day weekend.
A kinetic sculpture, for those of you not familiar with the animal, is a human-powered machine engineered to cover long distances, ford rivers and cross sandy beaches. It is often a piece of great art to boot. And to visit the Arcata Kinetic Lab, which Flatmo operates along with several other teams, is like stepping into the dreams of an abstract painter who dabbles in making bicycles and entirely odd sculpture.
In any case, with this year's race behind him, Flatmo is nonetheless eager to show off "Extreme Makeover," which is about 10 feet tall, pinkish-orange and has really bad teeth.
From my vantage point inside the machine, I'm looking forward through its mouth and out beyond those teeth--a very unusual view.
Turf, surf, machinery
Back in the lab, where Flatmo has been tinkering for about 25 years, nearly every square inch of floor, wall and ceiling space is taken up with mementos of past kinetic sculpture races.
High in the rafters are a gorgeous green dragon, an entrant of Flamo's from a previous year, and a giant dog, a sculpture by June Moxon.
But down on the floor, right in the doorway of the lab and the very first thing I saw when Flatmo opened the garage door, is "Surf 'n Turf," a kinetic sculpture with a mechanical base he and his team has been racing since 1991 and a body that is about 3 years old.
And "Surf 'n Turf" is no ordinary machine. It looks like some crustacean that got exposed to far too much radiation. It has giant, crab-like claws, bulging eyes, and off its back rises a beast that is part octopus and part starfish. And rising above the main part of its body is a massive bull's head. Naturally.
"Surf 'n Turf"--Flatmo tells me--is designed for six riders, with most parts moving as the people inside turn handles and pedal.
"The whole thing becomes this animated thing powered by human power," Flatmo explained, "so when kids see it, it's like, 'Oh my gosh, it's this (giant) moving thing.'"
For its part, "Extreme Makeover" seats only four. But what it lacks in extra seating it makes up for in sophisticated engineering. Flatmo explained that it has 18 speeds for street riding, and a second set of 18 speeds for riding across sand.
That's not to mention what it can do in water.
Because Flatmo and his compatriots have been at their game for so long, they are often seen as the source of many good ideas for other kinetic sculpture racers.

Trident Technical College is on the cusp of a bold scheduling experiment, which data indicates should dramatically boost student success, says President Mary Thornley.
The college, beginning in the fall, will run on a "compressed schedule," which means almost all courses will run only for seven weeks.
The average full-time student now takes four courses in a 14-week semester. Under the new system, those students will take two, seven-week courses in the first part of the semester, take a week off, and then take another two courses during the second part of the semester.
Courses that meet three times each week usually run for about an hour on the semester schedule, but they will run about two hours on the compressed schedule.
Thornley said Trident is the only school in the country to implement such a system campuswide. But she's willing to be a leader in the effort because she's confident students will do better. "The data is the reason the college is moving in this direction."
Many faculty members and students initially were resistant to the plan, Thornley said, but they're gradually warming up to it. "Most people don't like change," she said. "But if you're a faculty member, nothing is more satisfying than seeing students succeed."
Dub Green, a Trident research analyst, said the school in recent years gradually has been growing the number of courses it offers on the compressed schedule, and the results are remarkably positive. "I didn't think it would be this successful, not in my wildest dreams," he said.
During fall semester, more than 50,000 grades were given out to students who completed courses, and 67.9 percent of those grades were a "C" or better, he said. That's up from 63.5 percent in the fall of 2012.
School officials attribute the increase to more compressed-schedule courses being offered, he said. In the fall of 2012, only about 2,000 of the 50,000 grades given were of that type. But that number jumped to 13,000 in the fall of 2013.
During the current spring semester, Green said, about half of Trident students are enrolled in at least one compressed-schedule course.
Thornley said the school has been offering information sessions on the new system, which is important because it also will affect tuition payment dates, how financial aid is dispersed, and attendance and drop and add policies. "It's a re-education for employees and students," she said. "It's changing everything we do."
Thornley has said the new system doesn't violate the state's rule for Technical Colleges, which allows them to offer shorter courses as long as the number of classroom hours is the same as in a 14-week semester course.

It has been two years since a deadly flood hit the Albert Pike Campgrounds, killing 20 people, including seven children.
Crawford and Washington county search and rescue teams responded and assisted in the search for victims and survivors.
Crawford County emergency managers said a lot was learned from battling the flood.
"It was very eye-opening, and it actually helped us to start to form coordination between our counties to respond to events outside our county to assist other people," said Dennis Gilstrap, of Crawford County Emergency Management.
The search and rescue teams from Crawford and Washington counties responded in Franklin County to help after the Denning and Etna tornadoes last year.

Agree with that guy.
Go to las Cuevas de Camuy, good place to start.
I'd recommend staying out of nightclubs unless they're in the same hotel you are, the ambient is hostile and you'll almost won't enjoy the evening.

Damn straight, man. I've never been to a nightclub and don't have the slightest interest in going into one. Puerto Rico has its beautiful spots, but it's also violent. I saw the newspaper today (El Nuevo Dia) about the guy that got shot on Valentine's Day in a food court at the mall in broad daylight. Jeez, what the ****?!
It seems there's always someone getting gunned down in the news. Every morning, turn on the news, guy gets gunned down, 10-12 bullets, drug-related, tracking the suspect...

I can imagine going to nightclubs and seeing the same thing happening. Don't talk crap to anybody and be careful with girls you mingle, ex-boyfriends and scrawny kids with guns compose the majority of killings. It's ridiculous!

Laos is a fairly inexpensive country. With an exchange rate of 9000 kip to the dollar, it means that almost every restaurant in the city is in our $33 a day budget. Of course, everything costs thousands of kip, which can be very confusing. Laos is also one of the only communist countries left in the world, and has a variety of strange laws
We had an early night, and woke up the next morning to visit the Kuang Si waterfall. We had breakfast at Jomo, a cafe that would not be out of place in New York city. Luang Prabang is an adorable city with french colonial architecture and a heavy french influence that puts cafes and bakeries on every street corner. After breakfast (more like lunch by the time we made it there) we hired a tuk-tuk to drive the 9 of us out to the waterfalls. Lindsey and Sarah were suckered into the tourist markets outside the falls, and bought Beer Laos sweatshirts. Fleece lined and comfy (Laos is chillier than thailand) they are probably the best things they have bought on this trip. The falls are beautiful and the water is almost unnaturally blue. There are a multitude of swim spots where we could jump off of the smaller waterfalls, or use a rope swing to propel ourselves through the air. Lindsey and Tommy had their long awaited swim off, and despite some setbacks like sharp rocks, they seemed pretty evenly matched.
When we had our fill of swimming we headed up to huge waterfall at the top and admired the view
Lindsey went back with some of our friends to watch a movie, and Sarah went out to Hive Bar with the rest. Hive Bar is a danceclub that shuts down at 11:30. You can imagine how fun THAT is.
The next morning our friends left for Vang Vieng, and Lindsey and I stayed another day. We took our 4th cooking class of the trip and learned to make a variety of Laos dishes such as chicken steamed in banana leaves, fried rice salad, spicy chicken salad, fresh spring rolls, lemongrass chicken and chicken in red curry paste. We also learned to make sticky rice, which is the main staple of Laos cuisine. We ate all of the dishes for lunch, and then rented bicycles to try and work some of it off. We biked along the Mekong and visited the temples that dot the hillsides. That evening we went to bed early after visiting the night market, so we could wake up early to see the monks.
At about 6:30 in the morning, all of the monks in Luang Prabang collect alms. The people of the city line the streets and the monks file down. The people then give the monks sticky rice and other foods. We watched the procession and then had an early breakfast before heading off to Vang Vieng.

Say something nice about Camden.
A billboard bearing that simple, yet startling request went up Monday on the Admiral Wilson Boulevard at Federal Street.
"Saying something nice about the city is a small, positive action that can turn into something powerful," says Jennifer Barton, a Manhattan communications executive who created and funded the campaign with a little help from her friends.
That some are hard-pressed to say anything positive about what is still South Jersey's biggest city is beside the point. Or perhaps it is the point.
"I'd like to raise the visibility of the really good things that are happening there," says Barton, who lived and worked in Camden for much of the 1990s.

Rep. Frank proud of shareholder revolt

BOSTON (UPI) -- Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., said shareholders at Citigroup would likely spur shareholders elsewhere to reject excessive executive pay packages.
"I do think it's going to encourage others to do this," Frank said of the 55 percent shareholder majority at Citigroup that voted to say no to Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit's pay package.
The non-binding vote was made possible by a provision in the Frank-Dodd financial overhaul bill that provided for shareholder votes on executive pay.
Franks said he felt "very proud" of the shareholder revolt, the Boston Herald reported Friday.
Pandit was paid $15 million in 2011 and granted $34 million in bonus pay, the Herald said.
Although the vote is non-binding, Citigroup Chairman Richard Parsons called it "a serious matter."
He said the board would explore other ways to calculate executive pay.
"We're going to have some more conversation with our shareholders ... and then fix it," Parsons told reporters.
Comments :
Absolutely! I think that when each group takes the time to invest their empolyee's growth, you are able to see a noticeable change within that group. If the organization promotes the same pathway to growth opportunity then the change is multiplied. The question is do you have a knowledgeable and engaged guide to direct your travel down the path, or is the path just lightly traveled? If you have a named guide, at the organizational level, then there is no value to customers and shareholders because there is no engagement. What you will see when one group is fully engaged in growth, is a slow wave of other groups want the same thing. This eventually leads to customer and shareholder value, just longer to realize.
Umm, are you really just giving this info out for nohgint?

It would seem that playing with an NFL running back would be against the rules. It's only college football, after all.
Boise State will have an NFL guy in the backfield when Ole Miss takes the field at the Georgia Dome on Thursday night. That's the assessment of Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze.
There's a lot to like about Broncos tailback Jay Ajayi. He's an even 6 feet tall and at 216 pounds he's heavier than every Ole Miss back except junior college transfer Akeem Judd. He's a fourth-year junior and is averaging almost 6 yards per carry for his career.
The best way to combat that is to have an NFL guy holding up the back end of your defense, an experienced senior keeping things steady amid a mix of veterans and new guys playing new roles, a returning All-American.
The Rebels have all of those things in senior free safety Cody Prewitt.
"With his maturity right now I'd be shocked if he's not yelling and screaming to get it right because he understands what we're trying to do very, very well," Freeze said.
The importance of experience is magnified in season openers when there are a lot of moving parts, younger guys transitioning into the voids left by talented players who have moved on.
If you know what to do, you can play fast. If you can play fast you can set the tone, and on opening night as two teams try to learn about themselves as much as each other the team that can first get out of its own way has a big advantage.
Prewitt's ability to survey the landscape and set the defense will be immensely helpful.
So will his body-rattling tackling, if Ajayi gets in the open field.
There are nine returning starters on the Ole Miss defense.
"We all know the scheme. We've been playing together a long time, and because of that we have been able to teach the young guys and bring them along quickly," Prewitt said.
Ole Miss should have an advantage with its deep and talented front seven against a transitioning Boise offensive line.
As the season itself transitions talent will become as important as experience. Young players will find their way. They'll begin to play faster.
Until then guys like Prewitt, important always, are valued even more.
He's excited by the potential of this defense.
"The coaches have developed a good, solid depth chart. We are not exactly where we want to be, but we are deep than we've been in my career," Prewitt said. "That's going to allow us to be more aggressive. By the end of the season I think we'll be where we want to be."

Dallas Mavericks' shooters eager to escape chill
TORONTO - There are only three ways to describe the Mavericks' longest road trip of the season:
Cold, colder, coldest.
With any luck, that will describe their travels through America's ice box (and Canada's, too) and not the Mavericks' shooting. But lately, it's applied to both. The defense is always job one for coach Rick Carlisle and his staff, but putting the ball in the basket has, throughout history, remained a prerequisite for winning.
The Mavericks have shot .443 or worse in five of their last six games. From 3-point land, they have been under 30 percent four times in that span. That they won half of those six games is a bit remarkable, given that the defense has drifted at times, too.
Against Oklahoma City on Friday, that end of the court was better, which meant the shoddy shooting wasn't a fatal flaw.
"That's how we need to play on defense, because offensively, we've been struggling," Dirk Nowitzki said. "We shot another 44 percent [against the Thunder], which is not good, especially at home."
The good news is that the Mavericks are hitting the road for five games starting with an early wake-up call against Toronto today (11:30 a.m. tip).
In their defense, the offense has sputtered in part because the lineup has been in flux. The Mavericks are trying to get used to Josh Howard being back with the starters. He obviously plays a different game than J.J. Barea, who had been starting for a month. Adjusting to a new rotation takes time.
"We're just not clicking right now," Shawn Marion said. "We got time. But it doesn't happen overnight."
Rare will be the game when all the offensive weapons are hitting at the same time. Every game, it seems, one or more Mavericks has a struggling offensive game.
Against the Lakers and Jazz, Jason Terry couldn't find the basket. Against the Spurs, Nowitzki needed 28 shots for 26 points. On Friday, Howard was misfiring.
The only consistent shooters have been Marion and Jason Kidd, neither of whom has been taking enough shots lately to be considered a prime offensive threat.
What the Mavs hope is that this trip offers a chance to come together and form some chemistry and cohesion on the court.
Carlisle has been clear in the last few games that he is more than willing to open up the playing rotation, which had been stuck on eight players for a lengthy stretch. He said after Friday's game that he will not wait on players to get into a groove.
He will play whoever is "busting their tail," no matter who it is.
That's another good message when it comes to bonding a team. And, just maybe, it will help with their shooting eyes, too.
One-point wonders: If it seems like the Mavericks have been really good when it comes to last-possession games, it's because they have been.
The 99-98 win over Oklahoma City was the eighth consecutive win in a one-point game for the Mavericks, dating to January 2007. That's tied for the third-longest streak in NBA history.
The St. Louis Hawks won 10 straight one-pointers in 1959 and '60. The Sacramento Kings had a nine-game string last decade. Several other teams have won eight consecutive one-pointers.
Marion returns: Shawn Marion spent the last two months of last season with the Toronto Raptors and has nothing but good things to say about his stay north of the border.
OK, almost all of it is good.
"Toronto's a great town," Marion said. "I loved it - except for the weather."
Briefly: The Mavericks flew to Toronto early Saturday and practiced at the Air Canada Centre practice court, mostly going over the game plan for Toronto. ... Tim Thomas remains with his family to take care of a personal matter and may rejoin the team in Washington before Wednesday's game.
Matt Carroll, who had a nasty virus that knocked him out of Friday's game, said at Saturday's practice he was still weak but hopeful to be ready today. ... The game plan is to have Eddie Najera inactive for today and probably a couple of more games, Carlisle said. Najera said he's making significant headway in strengthening his back. He practiced on Saturday after the plane flight to Toronto. "No way I could have done that a week or two ago," he said.

"During the past five years, Carol was the primary architect for D&E's national recognition among America's colleges and universities, including major features in The Chronicle of Higher Education and other regional and national publications," Mihalyo added.
As associate vice president for the past two years, Schuler has built a solid communications and marketing team while assuming responsibility for day-to-day oversight of the development program and securing significant gift support for the College.
Schuler takes over responsibility as chief development officer from President Emeritus G. T. "Buck" Smith, who has served in that role since his retirement as president in June 2013. Smith will now devote his full energies to design and leadership development for a future major funding campaign for D&E as well as support Schuler in her new role.
Schuler joined Davis & Elkins College in 2001 as director of communications. She holds a bachelor's degree in journalism and mass communication from Purdue University and a master's degree in advertising from the University of Illinois.
Her previous work includes serving as copy director for Indiana Design Consortium Inc., where she won awards in direct marketing, corporate communications and financial services, and she was a contributing author to a book on online travel planning. She previously worked in corporate marketing in Colorado and served as development director for the public radio station at Colorado State University.
Schuler is a board member of District II of the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education. She has written for West Virginia Living magazine, and helped produce videos for the WV Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Locally, she is president of the city of Elkins Planning Commission and a past president of the Elkins Historic Landmarks Commission. Under her leadership, the commission was awarded grants and private donations in excess of $230,000. She also helped develop the Wees National Register Historic District within the city. Schuler is a past volunteer for the city's ON TRAC program and Vision 2010 History Committee. Earlier, she helped create and manage the Randolph County Schools ArtsBank program and was a founding board member of the Randolph County Community Arts Center.
Schuler is married to Dr. Thomas M. Schuler, and they are the parents of two children, Katt and Houston.

No more, check me hell no, no more
No more, check me hell no
No more, check me hell no, no more
No more, check me hell no
Scroll call before the sun
Before Africa was a bird blameless people
Scroll of my… God is true
Onto these promises and onto the faithful
Scroll call within the hour
But power good sees not one thing with a dead man
Scroll call, what more do you want now?
Besides an anointed mind and able hands
Let us build a bridge
Out of a good thing as we have in common
No more, check me hell no, no more
No more, check me hell no

Suicide prevention symposium held at Fort Indiantown Gap
UPDATED 12:16 PM EDT Jun 12, 2013
Fort Indiantown Gap is hosting a suicide prevention symposium for military members Wednesday.
Current and former members from all branches are attending. Organizers said the goal is to talk to them about how their needs can be met by the military and the community.
"It's something we've been working toward for a long time, but it's also something that is still a problem. So we can't keep doing the same old thing. We have to bring in new voices, bring in fresh faces and come up with new ideas," Staff Sgt. Matt Jones said.

Ole Miss and Mississippi State reeled in two of the top individual honors in the Southeastern Conference Tuesday when the league coaches announced their All-SEC team.
Ole Miss guard Terrico White was named the SEC Freshman of the Year, and Mississippi State center Jarvis Varnado was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year.
LSU coach Trent Johnson was named coach of the year, and Tigers guard Marcus Thornton was named player of the year.
The SEC Tournament begins Thursday in Tampa, Fla. Ole Miss faces Kentucky at noon in the tournament's opening game. Mississippi State follows at 2:15 against Georgia.
In addition to individual awards, the coaches selected a first and second team, a defensive team and a freshman team.
Varnado was selected to the All-SEC first team, as well as the defensive team.
White and Rebels junior guard David Huertas were named to the All-SEC second team.
Mississippi State point guard Dee Bost was also a unanimous selection to the all-freshman team. He ranks fourth in the SEC in assists at 4.35 per game and 10th in steals at 1.45 per game.
White exploded onto the scene in conference play after the Rebels' dependence on his scoring ability changed dramatically following a season-ending injury to sophomore point guard Chris Warren. White took over the point guard position and excelled, though he had no previous experience at the point.
Against SEC competition, White tied for the fourth spot in the scoring category with 18.4 points a game, easily the best figure among freshmen. He posted eight 20-point games in SEC play – including the last four – and was a three-time winner of the freshman of the week award.
Huertas ranked among the top five SEC scorers all season and heads to the tournament averaging 18.2 points a game.
Limited by a bruised foot, he played only a half in Saturday's 82-80 loss to Mississippi State, and his status for the tournament is unclear.
White was a unanimous choice for the all-freshman team, though not a unanimous choice for the freshman of the year honor.
Varnado, a member of the all-defensive team, collected the top defensive player honor for a second straight season.
He leads the nation in blocked shots at 4.6 per game and is 15 blocks shy of breaking the single-season SEC record of 157. The record was set in 1992 by LSU's Shaquille O'Neal, and Varnado tied it last year.

With the advice of the director, each student designs an individualized program of studies reflecting his or her academic major and interests. Credit is given only to courses taught in French and in which all work is in French (with the only exception of up to two courses in English for English majors).
Students can choose from among the following:
The resident director, a full-time Hamilton College faculty member, is the main advisor. The director works closely with participants and advisors at their home institutions. Advising for students starts well before departure and continues during orientation and throughout the year.
Before departure, students plan their academic program taking into account their major, professional goals and sense of curiosity and adventure. They also consider a list of courses taken by past students. Advising is not only about choosing courses; it fosters curiosity and helps students adjust to new environments. The advising process aims to develop student adaptability and flexibility.
Once in Paris, students learn to navigate an educational system very different from that of their own campus. For instance, the French system is highly centralized but course schedules are often not determined before September, and instructors do not always provide detailed syllabi. French students are used to attending lectures and taking copious notes. On the other hand, they are not required to do homework on a daily basis but final exams are comprehensive.
The resident director is the prime intermediary between the Paris institutions and students. The director provides information as soon as it is available and works with each student to finalize a program of studies as early as possible.

From an extensive clinical experience, Dr. John Conley has written a book that is useful and unique. In a highly readable style, he has presented the essentials about specific tumors of the head and neck along with a rationale and recommendations for surgical treatment. It is a welcome change to have this type of overview in a field where isolated facts and operative techniques have often obscured the more important considerations of cancer biology and therapeutic objectives. The reader is never blinded by chaff.
A further advantage is the emphasis on prompt and well-planned reconstruction following ablation. A patient wants not only to be cured but to resume his place within society. The surgeon's responsibility, as Dr. Conley correctly stresses, is to achieve both these goals.
Although surgical management is its principal theme, this volume also contains information about irradiation as an alternative and adjunct.

(This wouldn't seem to > cover all possible implementations of unsealers/brands, but maybe they > aren't authorities.) Anything that reads or writes mutable state is definitely an authority. Any sealer or unsealer is too. I don't know how to classify an object definitively as "not an authority". Looking at the case of sealers, perhaps "is not a participant in rights amplification" also applies, but is that an exhaustive list? >> In general, *data structure* guards may be well-known; guards for >> external authorities (and possibly even for internal ones, mutable >> objects?) should not. > > An interesting summary.

Yes. Method signatures by themselves are worthless. In principle, it is possible to use the auditor facility to guard on objects obeying some particular contract and yet otherwise be arbitrarily implemented. In practice, this is a hard problem (it boils down to correctness proofs, so you can do it semi-easily for limited programs and not at all for arbitrary programs). -- Kevin Reid <http://switchb.org/kpreid/>

Umm...it's not that big of a deal. Yeah, Julia is young. BUT, if she skates lights out, I wouldn't be surprised if she took gold. Anything is possible. Julia didn't emote all that well when I started watching her skate and I'm not so sure if there has been a marked improvement, but her long program this season is stellar and suits her well. I would see nothing wrong if she were to top the podium. At least not if she deserves it. This isn't a reputation contest, it's a sport. That's the way it should be anyway. She will be skating on home ice, so that's something to consider. You can never be too sure what will happen. I'm hoping for the best.
I'm not going to say Mao should have lost in GPF but I think her score was inflated by at least 4-5 pts which would have her under 200. Wouldn't be surprised to see Mao skate similar or worse making her finish under 200pts. I don't know if that is good enough for a medal period. Who knows she certainly has amazing footwork and interpretation. By my accounts the gap between the usual Mao and the usual Julia isn't that big. Now if Mao goes clean, what are the odds of this, she will lock silver up. Who knows....stranger things have happened with skaters less slkilled than Mao!
Then let's look at other skaters (not measuring against those who are as consistent as she is, or who have a triple axel) compared to Julia. Skater A usually hits 90% (for most skaters 90% is their clean, right?) of their planned content in the long program and a bad competition has them at 70%. Julia will blow them out of the water technically unless said skater has the skate of their life at the same time that she has 2-3 major mistakes.
At Europeans this year Julia had a slightly weird landing on her Axel, and instead of making any more mistakes she skated a program that had a higher base value than before and gave her a 1-point higher TES than at Skate Canda her previous technically perfect performance. I'm confident that even if she makes a costly mistake such a a fall on the triple-toe of the opening combination she be able to rally by doing something like at triple-loop, triple-toe or a triple lutz-triple toe-double toe combination.
What makes you think she is not prepared this time before her retirement with an exceptional performance for 2 years before sochi olympics (4 grand prix titles and 2 grand prix final titles) isnt that enough?
I don't think Julia is a threat for gold but she cold medal but she has to beat the likes of Wagner and probably more of a threat Gold plus the Japanese ladies, Yuna and Caro as well as hold off her teammate 0 not easy and if anything puberty will be a hindrance as she doesn't have the biggest or strongest jumps.

I got a text message from my mother a few days ago that during what should have been a routine ultrasound, it was discovered that my brother's first child would not live. What should have been discovered months (and ultrasounds) ago showed that the baby's brain and spine never fully developed. Had they been told months ago, they could have had a medically necessary abortion (please no debates) but since she is now 36 weeks, my SIL will have to go through labor and delivery and soon after watch her much wanted and loved baby perish. Right now she is the only thing keeping "Deuce" alive. We all were so excited for this baby and now we have to mourn his death before he is even born. The dr will induce her this week so pray that I have strength enough to be there for the family during this difficulty as well as remember to hold on to the same faith that kept me going when I never thought I would get through Zoe's prematurity....I am just at a lost right now........
Please pray for our family this week
So sorry your family is going through this. My sympathies to you and yours. How heartbreaking.

Oh Shawnn I am sooo sorry. I will praying for strength and endurance for you and your family in this difficult time of need.
Mom to Makiya (6 yrs) and
Tony my 24 weeker(1 yr)!!!
I so so sorry to hear those news for you and the entire family. I will keep you all in my thoughts.
Mom to my princess Janai Raquel (born 7/6/08 at 27wks 4days -2lbs 2oz).��
What a terrible thing to have happen. I am so very sorry for your family's loss. My prayers are with your family.
i just wanted to give you all an update on our family. after a 2-day induction, our beautiful baby boy, Reginald Jarrod Lewis Jr. was born at 10:02 pm friday night. the drs told us that if he came out crying it would extend his time here. after 3-4 pushes he silently came into the world. it was honestly the most peaceful thing i have ever experienced. my brother was inconsolable for about an hour and my sister in law had waves of tears. i, however, went into work horse mode. since she still had an epi, she could not get out bed to bathe and dress him so i did it for her. i talked to him and told him how beautiful he was and how loved he was. the photographer from Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep slipped in and just snapped pics of every little detail. baby deuce honestly did look like he was sleeping. his heart finally stopped beating at 12:25am and we just kept loving on him until it was time to go. my brother and sister in law did decide to donate his organs to help another little baby since except for his head his body was perfect in every way.
i honestly do not know where the strength and energy came from to take care of everyone last night. i did not even give myself a moment to cry until i got home at 1am, realizing i have been up 22 hours and had not eaten in 2 days. i prayed and asked God to give me the strength and courage to get through this and He proved. today has been hard for me but i know we all will survive and come out on the other side.
thank you for all of your positve thoughts and prayers and also for the suggestion. www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org is one of the most beautiful services i have ever witnessed.
Loving Avery & Zoe, even when I want to run away and join the circus
I'm glad it was peaceful. What a true gift they gave by allowing his organs to save others lives. Maybe as time goes on they will reach out to those carrying on for their precious gift. Maybe someone with his organs will cure heart defect, birth defects, preemies, cancer, or rid the world of starvation. Now the possibilities are endless because of their gift of life.
I'm glad they got pictures. It may be too hard to look at now, but they got a true gift by having that time with him.
I will continue to pray for you family.
Derek- 8yrs happy and healthy, Austin- 6yrs: 35week preemie & CHD, Hannah & Olivia 17 months 29 week preemies
Shawnn I was just thinking of your and your family. I'm trying to type what I feel and I just can't get it out. I'm really glad the photographer was able to capture those moments for your family. Deuce was loved alot. Praying you keep your strength strong for your brother and his wife. Take of you and your family. Thoughts and prayers in this trying time for you.
Moowah...love you
Mommy to 2 preemies and 1 termie, all boys ages 8 (36 weeker 12/02),�6 (37 weeker 4/05) and�3 (25 weeker 5/08)! RIP ROBERT LAWRENCE 11/20/51 - 4/26/10

This Old Mansion
A Gutsy Pair of Writers Turns a Run-Down 60-Room Hulk into a Private Southern Palace for Two
Bruised but undaunted, Naifeh, 44, along with life partner Greg Smith, also 44, plunked down $495,000 and bought a dream. Seven years and $650,000 later, Joye Cottage is a sumptuously renovated smorgasbord of Ionic columns, elliptical arches, beamed ceilings and, to Naifeh's particular delight, sturdy heart-pine floors.
How a pair of New York City writers of relatively modest means came to own and overhaul a 20,000-square-foot fixer-upper is explained in their new book, On a Street Called Easy, in a Cottage Called Joye. The true-life tale of comically inept contractors and nosy Aiken neighbors ends happily, with Naifeh and Smith fleeing Manhattan to live luxuriously—and alone—in their sprawling southern Xanadu. "When we arrived, the name Joye Cottage sounded like a cruel joke," says Smith. "Now it fits perfectly."
The refurbished Joye Cottage, which Naifeh and Smith have bequeathed to Manhattan's Juilliard School in their will, represents the fulfillment of two destinies. Naifeh, the son of U.S. Foreign Service officers, lived in 48 different homes around the world but dreamed of one day having his own exotic palace. Smith, whose father was a motel-restaurant owner and whose mother was an executive secretary, grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and "lived in an interior world" as a child, he says, spending hours drawing detailed blueprints—sketches now framed in his Joye Cottage bedroom.
They met at Harvard Law School in 1974. "We were two lost souls in the dining hall wondering what in the hell we were doing here," says Naifeh. After graduating they ditched the law for writing, teaming up on the 1979 handbook Moving Up in Style. The book sold well and led, incongruously, to their 1982 bestseller, How to Make Love to a Woman, for which Smith and Naifeh enlisted a friend to serve as a surrogate author. "We realized there would be publicity problems with us as authors," says Smith, "since we obviously didn't have that much experience making love to women."
Their royalties financed a biography, Jackson Pollock, which won a 1991 Pulitzer Prize. They have also written a popular series of reference books: The Best Doctors in America and The Best Lawyers in America, issued by Woodward/White, their own publishing company, now housed in Joye Cottage.
Their research skills came in handy in 1986, when Smith was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. "The doctors said, 'Sorry, you have three months to live,' " he remembers. "It was truly a death sentence." Ignoring the grim prognosis, Smith and Naifeh tracked down medical experts who offered alternative treatments. A risky 12-hour operation at the University of Virginia in 1992 removed much of the tumor, and daily hormone injections ever since have stopped its growth. Their next book, Making Miracles Happen, will explain how Smith and other patients beat long medical odds. "The common quality among all of us," says Smith, "is that we have aggressively taken control of our illnesses."
Smith's other unlikely success story began on a rainy day in 1988 when he and Naifeh, then living in New York City, pored through real estate brochures at Sotheby's auction house. "We wanted to get out of the city," remembers Smith, who noticed a listing for the 19th-century "cottage." A week later they headed for Aiken and weren't discouraged by the asking price of $1.7 million; instead they waited out a desperate owner (the house had been listed for 10 years), eventually paying only $495,000. With $525,000 from the sale of their Manhattan co-op, they bought Joye Cottage and moved to Aiken, which has, to their surprise, embraced them. "Except for a couple of drive-by hollerers," says Smith, "no one has seemed to care that we're gay."
Their publishing revenues and royalties have financed ongoing renovations, though Naifeh and Smith have resisted suggestions to open a bed-and-break-fast, preferring to live in Joye Cottage by themselves. "We'd feel criminally self-indulgent," says Naifeh, "if we weren't giving it to Juilliard." For now, though, Joye's glorious wainscoting and expansive veranda are splendid but private spoils. "One of the themes of our book," says Naifeh, "is that what keeps people happy is caring about something and working at it." If that's true, new ecstasy awaits: There's this slightly rundown, 120-room house in Massachusetts the men now have their eyes on.

White Box
A Fundraiser for Triple Base
December 9, 7 – 10 pm
WHITE BOX is a survey exhibition of small works by 40 artists from all over the country, highlighting No. 4's varied interests and bears similarities to a White Elephant gift exchange.
The artists will customize an artwork that fits into a 12" X 9" gift box. At the opening of the show, the gallery will be filled with the unmarked white boxes wherein attendees of the opening are offered a ticket that assigns them to one at random. The buyer then unwraps the box by lifting the lid and is presented with an object made and donated by the artist. The exhibition will slowly be unveiled and by the end of the evening, all of the boxes will be opened and the works will be displayed through December 19th.
Participating artists include Becca Albee, Elyse Allen, Hanna Fushihara Aron , Andy Asp, Joseph Becker , Bert Bergen, Charles Beronio, Libby Black, Seth Childs, Chris Cobb, Brian Conley , Catherine Czacki, Robert De Saint Phalle , Chris Duncan, Tara Foley , Jim Gaylord, Allegra Gibson , Sean Horchy , Suzanne Husky , Robert Jordan, Melissa Kaseman, Helena Keeffe, Erin Kunkel, Isaac Lin, Mariko Marrs, Jessica Martin, Jesse Michaels, Sue Pak, Ted Purves and Susanne Cockrell, Leif Ritchey, Oliver Halsman Rosenberg, Tonya Solley Thornton , Barbara Schauwecker, Emily Sevier, Wei Weng, Virginia White and Will Yackulic.
All proceeds from WHITE BOX will help fund the not-for-profit art exhibitions organized by No. 4 at Triple Base Gallery.

According to a projected injury report the Giants released Wednesday, three players — WR Hakeem Nicks (shoulder), RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) and S Tyler Sash (concussion) — would have been held of practice. That is, of course, if they had practice.
But they're practicing today and six Giants are not participating. Nicks, who missed a few plays on Sunday when landed on his right shoulder when he was tackled, and Bradshaw are not practicing. They are joined by four surprises.
The four are C David Baas (likely an abdominal contusion he suffered Sunday), CB Corey Webster (hamstring), CB/PR Will Blackmon (unknown), and LB Chase Blackburn (perhaps a stinger he suffered on Sunday).
Sash apparently has passed the concussion tests and is practicing.
Those are all guesses based on previous injuries — both before and during Sunday's game. We'll know for sure when Tom Coughlin addresses the media at 3:20 unless we get an injury report beforehand.
On the Patriots side of things, our Jenny Vrentas is reporting TE Rob Gronkowski (ankle) isn't practicing today.

It is an accepted rule of political life that all careers, no matter what heights they may have touched, end in failure; the eternal image of Margaret Thatcher weeping in the back on her limo makes that truth painfully clear.
The same rule works in the coaching of sports teams, to quite an alarming extent. Which may be some slight consolation to Andy Flower. Flower is the most successful head coach of the England cricket team since the England cricket team started having coaches.
Under his command England were number one Test nation and T20 world champions. They beat Australia

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
HPLC HPLC is a chemistry based tool for quantifying and analyzing mixtures of chemical compounds. It is a technique that has been used for biotechnological, biomedical, and biochemical research as well as by the pharmaceutical industry. More recently HPLC has found a use in a variety of fields including cosmetics, food, and environmental industries. It consists of a precise gradient mixer; high pressure pumps with very constant flow; high accuracy, low dispersion, sample valves, high efficiency columns with inert packing materials, high sensitivity, low dispersion detectors, low dispersion connecting tubes for valve to column and column to detector. The columns, in general, achieve their separation by exploiting the different intermolecular forces between the solute and the stationary phase and those between the solute and the mobile phase. The column will retain those substances that interact more strongly with the stationary phase than those that interact more strongly with the mobile phase. The detector is either UV, refractive index or fluorescence.
Technical Specifications
The Thermo-Separation products HPLC system is modular in style and consists of:
- Degasser that removes dissolved gas from the mobile phases so that on mixing, gas bubbles are not formed
- High performance gradient pump system consisting of two pumps working out of phase to ensure continuous flow
- Automatic sampler for unattended use
- High efficiency column
- UV detector
- PC for data acquisition
The Main Unique Aspects Of The Machine
- High precision detector (5 d.p. absorption units). The limit of detection varies according to the absorbance of the species but typically this equates to aspecies concentration of 0.2 ppm.
- Column oven that ensures reproducibility of retention time.
- Microprocessor controlled gradient pump ensuring low pulsation and therefore an even mobile-phase flow.
- Auto sampler that allows a maximum of 120 samples to be run unattended after which a shutdown program can reduce the flow to 0.1 ml / min to reduce mobile phase loss.
- The system is interfaced with Dionex Chromeleon v6.5 for fully automated unattended measurements and full quantification capabilities. This ensures high throughput and repeatability
Examples Of Work Undertaken At The Institute
A number of projects have used this technique for quantitative measurement.
- Measurement of lactic acid in degradation studies of poly (lactic acid)
- Drug releases from glass-ionomer cements including chlorhexidine acetate, chlorhexidine gluconate and amprolium hydrochloride.
- Release of Tetracycline hydrochloride and Vancomycin from Bio-OSS.

LONDON - The euro rose against the dollar and shares gained on Tuesday as Europe's worsening debt crisis and its impact on global growth encouraged talk of a policy response by the world's major central banks.
US stock index futures also edged higher on Tuesday ahead of a two-day policy meeting of the US Federal Reserve, with attention focused on whether it will unveil any more stimulus to support a flagging recovery.
Meanwhile, a surprise fall in British inflation strengthened the chance of steps from the Bank of England to support the UK economy as it feels the heat of the euro zone's problems.
"Everything is pointing towards another liquidity injection into the system," said Francois Savary, chief investment officer at Swiss bank Reyl.
Gains in riskier asset markets were limited by concerns over a sharp rise in Spain's short-term borrowing costs, a big fall in German investor confidence and fresh worries about Greece's commitment to its bail-out plan.
The single currency was up 0,3% at $1,2622, still below a one-month high of $1,2748 hit on Monday.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 share index rose 0,75% to 1001,19 points, while Brent crude fell close to a 17-month low of $94,44 a barrel due to fears about the slowing euro-zone economy.
Spain was forced to pay yields of more than 5% to sell 12- and 18-month Treasury bills in an auction as investors worried the country would soon have to ask for international aid.
It faces a bigger test on Thursday with a sale of longer-term bonds.
"The yields are more than 5% in both lines, which is back at the levels we saw in November 2011 when the market was in huge distress and the European Central Bank (ECB) was forced to intervene," said Peter Chatwell, an interest-rate strategist at Crédit Agricole.
Borrowing costs across the euro zone fell sharply after the ECB flooded the market with about ?1-trillion in cheap credit through two long-term refinancing operations (LTROs) in December and February, but they have since leapt back up.
Spain has called on the ECB to take more steps to ease the crisis, but the bank's head, Mario Draghi, said this month that it was up to Europe's politicians to fix the euro zone.
However, he has hinted the bank may soon cut interest rates, pointing to downside risks for the economy and saying there was no inflation risk in any euro-area country.
Spain's debt problems and uncertainty over the Greek election outcome took its toll on investor sentiment in Europe's biggest economy, according to the Mannheim-based ZEW economic think-tank's monthly poll.
The ZEW index fell in June at its fastest rate since October 1998, to -16,9 from 10,8 in May, way below the forecast in a Reuters poll of 42 analysts for a drop to 4.
"In the second quarter, Germany's economy is likely to slow down markedly, in particular private investment," said Christian Schulz, senior economist at Berenberg Bank.
"With the euro crisis once again threatening to push the German economy into recession this summer, a convincing policy response becomes pivotal for Germany as well," he said.
The concerns about Greece have also not gone away despite signs that Greece's pro-bailout conservatives looked set to form a coalition government with the Socialists.
Conservative New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras has promised to negotiate less punishing terms for Greece's international bail-out, after only narrowly beating a radical left-wing party that campaigned to scrap the austerity deal.
