Great Planes Escapade 61 / Mintor 22 Gas Motor
Finished building my Escapade. I used the new Mintor 22 motor for the power plant. Flown it several times now and it seams to be a good match. I really like that you don't have to clean up oil after flying. The gas motor is easy to start and has lots of power.

Thanks Whitewolf, I hope to fly it again this weekend if its not too windy. I need to test a couple of different props to find what works best, i'm currently using a 16x8 APC.
That looks very nice. You put together something that meets what I'm looking for - a small gasser sport plane. Please keep us updated on your prop research, I may pay you the ultimate compliment by copying your efforts!

Hey cmfsac
Beautiful job. I myself am getting ready to finish up an Escapade .61 but will have an OS 75AX glow. My question revolves around the Mintor 22cc. I'm getting ready to make the big jump to gas myself and was getting ready to buy a DLE 20 until I started reading about the Mintor. there is a ton of info out there concerning the DLE and it's very obvious the 20cc is very finicky and can require a lot of tuning/tinkering to get it running right and some people have great luck and others never get it running good. Anyway, since the Mintor 22cc is fairly new there isn't much info out there yet but what little I could find has been pretty much 100% positive. Are you happy with the Mintor so far and was it fairly easy to get going out of the box? Also, it appears as if yours is set up with a manual choke? I was under the impression they came with some type of automatic choke. Did you change your choke set up? I'm getting ready to buy any day now and could use all the info available. Not to mention the Mintor is absolutely beautiful! Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sweet sounding engine hope to see you flying her again soon.

I have done nothing to my motor other than put gas in the tank and spin the prop, it started almost immediately, no adjustment made with the needles yet. I have been running 32:1 fuel in the motor and have been having some oil residue out the exhaust. I will be going to 50:1 now that I have ran my fisrt gallon of fuel thru it. If I continur to get oil from the exhaust I may adjust the needles.
The choke is automatic, you set it manually and then give a little gas to release it. I have only used the choke the first couple of times that I strarted the motor. I found I don't need it and the motor starts easily, runs, and idles perfectly.
I'm new to gas or power motors so I don't have a lot of experience, with that being said I really like this motor so far, and would recomend it. I thought my Escapade would be over powered with the M22 but I found that it's about right.
Well I might just see you out there then, hope to bring it with me.
The reason it starts with out the choke is because it is rich. You need to tune the motor for your surroundings. Try letting it idle for 2 minutes and see if it picks up rpm's right away. Tune the low end for good transition and the high end for the rich side of peak. No need to richin it up like a glow motor. I think once you tune it you might find it a little over powered.

I've been reluctant to adjust until I have had a chance to break the motor in. What would it mean if the idle picks up after two minutes, to rich? Do mean adjust the high needle to max rpm and leave it there instead of opening opening it up a little? When adjusting for good transition, do you close the low needle until you get a hesitation and then open up a little?
A gas motor can be tuned right away and should be and does not need to be run rich for the first couple of flights. You usually run a little extra oil for the first gallon of fuel for break in. For the case of 20cc engines I would suggest you mix a 32 to 1 ratio and keep using it for the life of the motor.
The idle should lower as the rich low needle loads up the engine. When you open the throttle it will smoke and take it's time to rev up, similar to a glow motor. Keep leaning till it hesitates upon opening the throttle and then richin up the low end till it transitions quickly. You should be able to let it idle for 5 minutes and snap the throttle wide open and have it rev up instantly.
The high end can be set for peak RPM but the needle will turn about an 1/8 turn before she starts to drop rpm's. Set the high speed for the rich side of peak meaning just at the point where she makes the most rpm's. Not where she starts to lose rpm's, hope that makes sense to you. Cooling should be no problem for your set up so tuning should be fairly easy.
The really nice thing about gassers is once they are set you should never have to touch them again. Once you have run a half gallon thru the engine after tuning it pull the plug with engine cool and check the plug. Should be a nice tan color. Anything black is still rich.
I leave the fuel in the line to the carb for easier starting the next time out but I do empty the tank. That way if by chance you forget to fill the tank you should not be able start, warm up and taxi out to take off before running out the fuel in the line only.
Keep us posted on your results.

1000 IU is probably not enough to boost vitamin D levels unless you are spending a decent amount of time outdoors as well. How low is "very low"? I would start at 5000-10000 IU daily for a month, then start to reduce, retest in 3 mos.
Well said Judg. I might share parts of your wonderful post with my 15 year old daughter!
Question for you guys. I just got my labs back and am very low on my D. I know what I want to take in terms of supplements for now. I hope to not use all of this for long but until I have been primal long enough to be healthy via nutrition only I want to boost things a bit. My confusion come with timing and ratios.
Does anyone see any glaring issues with the following:
AM: multi, 1000 D, fish oil, 500 magnesium, 1,000 calcium, probiotics
PM (with dinner) repeat same (multi is a split dose 4 needed per day, so 2 at each time)
Right before bed: thyroid meds. This keeps them from interacting with my morning coffee and supplements.

Judg, so nice to read your contentment.
But I'm still on the beginning of the path and sbhikes echoes my frustration and angst. I know I'm doing well in my eating (not enough exercise still, I admit that) and now it's *40 lbs* lost, but I look almost exactly the same. I fit into a pair of pants I haven't fit into for several years, but I'm still wearing mostly all my old large clothes of 40 lbs ago. My husband says he can't tell yet that I've lost any weight. I look in the mirror at my huge belly and feel like filling a ziplock with ice and placing it on my belly in desperation. I knw how you feel, sbhikes. Though I'm enormous and not fit, and you look great and fit, I understand how frustrated you are knowing what you could be, what you should be, and aren't yet. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be slim. Other times I feel I'll finally get close. It doesn't matter if it's 5 lbs or 50 lbs, 1 inch or 10 inches, frustration and confusion is the same for both.
KerryK, I think you might need to have a shopping trip for new clothes. Seriously. you are not seeing the changes exactly because you are wearing what you were wearing back then, they mask your progress. I never realized it until I was chatting with a gal in my office in front of the mirror about how uncomfortable I feel in my pants, and she looked at me like I was crazy and said: "Yeah, if you keep wearing pants two sizes too large..." She was right. They didn't seem to fit any differently, but they slipped down lower, and were sagging around the bum and thighs making me look like I was still 10 lbs heavier.
You don't need anything brand new. Just visit the second-hand and try a few things without looking at sizes. You might find a winning number! Or just dig in your closet. You never know what's hiding in the back of the rack...

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
OMG!! buy some new clothes. even if it's through goodwill or consignment shops. you can buy pants for $5-$10 and you will look so much smaller and feel better about how you look. you are hiding in your old big clothes. c'mon out!
don't wait til you're at goal to do this. what else do you spend $5 on everyday, ya know? treat yourself to some new tops and jeans. seriously.
As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.

I think the problem for me is that as I shrink all the proportions stay the same and all the bulges stay in the same place. They just get smaller. I swear I get shorter, too. Obviously that last one isn't true, but I do feel more like an incredibly shrinking woman than an incredibly slenderizing woman.
The body dismorphic thing is such a bugaboo. When I was gaining I would try to see if any part of me still looked okay. While I was gaining, I could fool myself pretty well that everything was still okay. Up to a point anyway. As I was losing it pleased me to see it come off. But now that I'm at some kind of stable weight, my mind sees me getting fat when maybe it's not really happening. My pants today feel looser than ever but the image in the mirror looks fatter than ever. Argh. Turn it off!

Hang in there KerryK. I have totally been in your shoes. I agree with everyone else. Go get a few new things in a smaller size. You dont need a lot because soon you will need an even smaller size! Thrift store or just cheaper new stuff. You will feel better and I am willing to bet you will see a difference!
you're super low. unless you are outdoors several hours per day,i'd start at 10,000 per day.
my only supplements are vit d and magnesium. i seem to get enough of about everything else so don't worry about it. enter your meals into something like cronometer or nutritiondata and see how your micros come up.

Everyone... I have bins from size 18 down to size 6 (only one of those). My friend and I get gorgeous clothes at Greenwich and Westport CT tag sales. I can't WAIT to fit into them. I do admit the size 18s are snug but mostly wearable... Maybe another week before they're comfy. But I have been so unhappy that my 22s still fit. You're right they're looser now which gives me comfort. I shouldn't complain, I know... it's probably healthy to shrink all over imperceptibly instead of in spot areas... it's just so subtle.
Speaking of which, I hope I can mail a few choice size 20s & 22s to someone who's also transitioning like I am (in a month or so). For instance, I recently got an EXPENSIVE leather coat for fall for $5 which I hope will be too big by then. Fingers crossed. I guess I should start a new thread when I'm ready?
Oh and thank you guys. Sometimes words of encouragement are sorely needed and I'm not getting them at home yet

When I'm shopping for consumer electronics, I usually have one of two motivations. I'm either looking for the best solution to an immediate problem or I've done some careful research to determine my next long term purchase. In the first case, I'm typically in a hurry and just need good information about the gadget I'm about to purchase. In the second scenario, I like knowing whether or not I'm getting the best possible deal. The new Decide.com app for iPhone and iPod touch helps make better choices for both of these types of purchases.
Here's a recent example where I needed to make a smart choice in a hurry. About a month ago, I was traveling and forgot to pack an external hard drive. I recorded about 250 GB of video and ran out of room on my computer's hard drive to back it all up, in part because I already had too much video stored on my drive. This is an easy enough problem to solve; hard drives are available at stores like Office Depot, Staples, and Best Buy in every major US city.
At the store, things become more confusing. Even though I'm in a hurry, I still want to buy a hard drive that solves my immediate problem and also provides a viable solution for the future. The row of hard drives routinely leaves me confused, because pricing for storage is all over the map. The next time I need to make a similar rushed purchase decision, the new Decide.com app will make my life easier. Instead of walking into the store and facing a sea of confusing choices, I can launch the app, scan an item or two, and arrive at the one or two options that offer me the best bang for my buck. The app helps guarantee you are getting the best product with a comparable feature set at the best price by providing both pricing comparison data and version information.
Those longer term purchase decisions are where using the Decide.com app can make a bigger difference. I buy new camcorders almost every year. When you log as many recording hours as I do, it becomes a necessity. I tend to plan my purchase around a combination of new product releases and the cyclical sales that happen in the camcorder market, but keeping track of all that becomes complicated. Most of the time, I try and check Amazon and Best Buy periodically to see if the camcorder I've been eyeballing had a recent price drop, which is a fairly unscientific approach. With the Decide.com app, I can scan the price at at the store to see if the model is a good deal, if someone else has a better deal, if there's a newer model, or if I'd be better off waiting for another day.
As much as I love the instant gratification of taking home a new gadget, getting a great price on that gadget is more important. After you download and install the app, Decide.com becomes your one-click gadget purchasing conscience. When you're at Best Buy (or wherever you shop for gadgets), on the verge of purchasing that new HDTV, cellphone, or virtually anything else in the store, open the app. Scan the Best Buy QR code or scan the bar code on the item. The app will instantly tell you whether the item you scanned is a smart purchase by pointing out recent pricing trends and whether or not there is a better model at a cheaper price. At the moment, the Decide.com app is iOS only, but you can still get a similar benefit on Android or Windows Phone 7 by going to Decide.com and typing in the bar code number in your smart phone's browser.
To further entice you to try out the free Decide.com app, the company is currently giving away a $5,000 American Express gift card. All you need to do to is install the Decide.com app on your iPhone or iPod touch, then take a screenshot of any part of the Decide.com app and email it to the company. Full details on how to qualify for the giveaway are available on the Decide blog.
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday just around the corner, this is the perfect time of year to validate whether or not those advertised prices are actually better than the price you could get any other day. As we all know, going to the store for the marked-down item doesn't always mean that's the item you will take home. Using the Decide.com app can help you make sure the item you buy is really the best deal for the features you want. Download the Decide.com app and arm yourself with money-saving holiday shopping information.

Incredible story here. Looking for any other eyewitnesses to come forward.
From reader Nicholas M., here is the story of a fight between two guys and a pregnant woman.
This is NSFW.
Adding a readmore…
Ok, so here is the entire story.
I was walking out of the game… Out of the corner of my eye I saw a beer can flying past, so I turned around and saw it hit the ground. Before it hit the ground, it hit a man. A group of 2 men threw a beer at a man and 6 month pregnant wife going down an escalator. The man and his wife were going to just let it go, be civil, and walk away. Then the 2 men who threw the beer started yelling at the man, saying pretty nasty things, such as, "I hope you have fun tonight fucking that fat, ugly cunt." At that point, the husband and his wife, who were both a down escalator, turned around and walked up the down escalator. The husband started throwing punches at one of the two men, and the other man started throwing several hard lefts and right at the pregnant woman. The woman was bloodied and fell down onto the escalator. When the husband saw how bad his wife was injured, he sprinted all the way up the down escalator, tackled the man who punched his wife, and pummeled him as hard as I have ever seen a human punch. He and his wife then got back on the escalator. The man who was just pummeled along with his friend, were not done. They went back to the escalator, one of them punching the husband, the other grabbing the 6 month pregnant woman by her hair so hard, that she was completely elevated off the escalator by about of a foot. When the man stopped punching the husband, the other one let go of the woman's hair, where she then fell a foot onto her back on the down escalator already bloodied and VERY disoriented. They continued to yell and scream at each other, then the police were involved and broke everything up. The police questioned me and I explained to them this exact same story, then was allowed to leave after I gave them my phone number in case they, "had any further questions for me."
It should be noted, that the woman was clearly pregnant. She was a fairly skinny girl, and at 6 months, you could CLEARLY tell she was due to have a child.
Dear god. Did anyone else see this?

The butterfly panel is beautiful, and very good quality. I live in a high traffic area and this panel gives me a little more privacy.
Love the curtains and valances
These curtains are beautiful. The pictures do not do them justice. I raise butterflies and my living room is decorated in a butterfly theme. These are exactly the finishing touch I needed. They are a nice quality lace and the price was unbelievably low.
Love butterflies and these panels are beautiful thank you
It is beautiful I love butterfly's
Hung these lighthearted sheers in my office. I'm in the process of converting it to a more feminine environment. Love them! Provides some privacy, but allows in light. They would work well in a young child's room also.
For the price, I love them. They look great and I have received a lot of compliments. And since our German Shepherd puppy ate our last lace curtains which cost 10 times as much, I can afford to replace these if she ever eats our curtains again :)
It is beautiful.
My sheers are simply adorable and affordable. Thank you
Awesome......is what the wife says about her curtains. Received them quickly, and they were just what we wanted. Would recommend this company to anyone. Thanks
These curtains would work with any decor. The material drapes so neatly at the window. I have them in my living room where I have four long windows facing the front. They look beautiful.
These panels are great, they are full and only one panel needed per window as they drape perfectly. I love them, they make my living room look like a decorator's dream. Well made and a quality product.
the drapes look very nice, the quality is good, they worth all the money!
The curtain are beautiful! I am very pleased with them!
I just love this set of curtains that I bought with the BUTTERFLY designs. I have searched for 3-4 months to add to my bathroom decor. I could not find a regular shower curtain and putting a plastic liner behind the curtain makes it just beautiful!!! and the quality sure beats the reg shower curtains you find in the store.
These curtain were well made and of high quality, matched perfectly, a reasonable price and gave my sun room the touch it needed to complete it. My family and friends loved them. I would order again from Touch of Class.
Put curtains up last week and I love them. Just what i was looking for and they look great in my living room. So refreshing!!!
It would have been great if they measured 90 instead of 80. I like to hand them from the top of the ceiling. And you ran out of the runners that matched the curtains. It would have been nice to have the matching runners. But on the whole, I love them. Thanks you.
I needed something for the windows. A relative had these panels in a guest bedroom. I liked them for my living and room. The panels gives the room an elegance.
Color and pattern is exactly as depicted online. Very lovely.
We were looking for something a little more subtle for my teenage daughter's room, but the seemingly tiny butterfly images on the website were huge on the actual curtain panel, making them seem to juvenile. This would be no fault of yours, but the quality of the curtains wasn't what I expected either.
I was pleased with my purchase of Butterfly lace curtains. They came quickly and were just the thing I had been looking for.

The South Shore is no stranger to extreme weather, including Nor'Easters and the occasional hurricane. As a result, the area boasts several notable meteorologists.
I was flattered to be included in a recent South Shore Magazine feature that profiled a few of those meteorologists, including Tim Kelley of NECN, Rob Gilman of WATD-FM, and Blue Hill Observer Robert Skilling.
With any luck I'll share some of their professional success in the future!

Fresh Ricotta, Microwave
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar or lemon juice
Combine milk, salt, and vinegar or lemon juice in microwave-safe glass 1-quart bowl. Microwave on high heat until lightly bubbling around edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from microwave, and stir gently for 5 seconds. Milk should separate into solid white curds and translucent liquid whey. If not, microwave for 30 seconds longer. Repeat until fully separated.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a colander lined with cheesecloth or to a unlined fine mesh conical strainer. Use a spoon or spatula to stir to allow the curds to separate from the whey (you may want to save it and use later in a recipe that calls for buttermilk). Don't drain fully or you will get a brick of firm cheese; you want some moisture so it is spreadable. Store in covered container in refrigerator for up to 5 days.

James (

I knew this
film was gonna be special when I first got in the theater. How? I love
it when a movie attracts a complete mixture of people. I don't know how
many times I saw a movie where I was the only white person or there were
only one or two black people. This was not the case here. And I think
it's always nice when the racial barrier is broken down and everybody
laughs at the same joke, for the same reason. On the surface, this movie
looks like another dumb comedy, but it's not. It has a lot to say, and
uses witty humor to make it's social commentary. But it does not resort
to gross out humor, and thank God for that. No, this movie is smart,
witty, and downright hilarious. And if people think it's reverse racist,
then they haven't seen it. All races are fair game here. The visual
gags, exaggerated fight scenes and music, the jokes about black celebs
selling out, and the fried chicken, added to all the hilarity. Yep, I
did just say fried chicken and hilarity in the same sentence. I almost
keeled over in laughter when...ah I don't think so. Go see the movie.
You'll be able to finish the sentence then. Again, this movie got laughs
(on the same jokes) from everybody in the theater, and that's always a
great thing in my book. I hope you see this, and I hope I didn't spoil
anything for you

pops )
Now, I went to see this movie with a group of friends and they were all,
along with the majority
of young people in the theater, laughing their heads off.
So I probably enjoyed it more than I would've if I were to sit alone
at home and watch it on
video. But I still found it only average, and if that
uproar of laughter wasn't so contagious, I'd probably get only a few
chuckles. It seems like
every time a comedy doesn't contain a penis or bodily
function joke in every scene, it's appraised by virtually everyone.
There are only a few
crude jokes in this film, but most of it depended on heavy-handed
racial stereotypes. Not that I took this movie seriously, like
it was supposed to
deliver some uplifting message. It's just when I hear white
guy Neil Patrick Harris walking into a room full of black people and
saying, "It looks like
a Source Award in here," the humor seems more written than
natural. And whoever made up the stereotype that only white people eat
mayonnaise? And turkey
sandwiches? Every joke must be based on a certain element
of truth, and there's no truth to that. Some of the gags are
incredibly cheap and
predictable. In one scene, Eddie Griffin is fighting this
guy and they shoot him from the waist up as sound f/x make him sound
like he's snapping his
neck with his foot. When we look down, we find out he's
actually crushing a bag of Lay's potato chips. I couldn't believe
the audience
got such a kick out of that! And there are some gags that are just
plain pointless—like
Neil Patrick Harris ripping out people's hearts and intestines.
On the bright side, this is the second movie to prove that Chris
Kattan should stick to supporting roles. Just like in "Monkeybone"
he has some of
the funniest scenes in the movie. He's hysterically funny as
long as he isn't taking
lead roles like in "Corky
As for Denise Richards—she's
hot, she wears tight clothing and she has a homo-erotic scene
involving her getting
soaking wet. 'Nuff said. I think Eddie Griffin is a decent
comic, but seeing Dave Chapelle steal the spotlight in a smaller role, I
wish Dave could've been the star. His manic energy would've fared
better. And I liked the
cool 70's soundtrack—it kept my head bobbing. "Undercover
Brother" is worthy of a few cheap laughs; it just needs a maximum
dose of wit.

I have half a mind, and in addition to that half a mind, I have half a mind to demand the money I paid to watch the Wings-Nucks game back. 6-3? It wasn't that close. I heard the Wings' post-game comments, and I'm still too angry to post anything of consequence save a rant.
The Red Wings played horrible, terrible, no good very bad hockey on Wednesday night. They did not compete, they did not work, they did not skate, they did not complete passes, they barely showed up, from the goaltenders (plural) on out.
When Tomas Holmstrom is your best puckhandler, Darren Helm is the only forward that goes to the front of the net, a still-rusty Andreas Lilja is your best defenseman, and the entire team plays as if it's suffering from altitude sickness despite playing only 620 feet above sea level, Wings fans like myself witness the kind of game that either shakes your favorite team's arses up, or it haunts them when they're playing golf in April.
"My" team played a horrible, horrible game against the Canucks and an annoying bunch of former Maple Leaf fans who wanted to watch a winning Canadian team and converted, my team wasted a necessary opportunity to prey upon an opponent playing without its top two defensemen, and my team sure as hell better kick rear ends and proceed to record names on Friday against the Nashville Predators.
The Red Wings' coaches, "leaders," supporting players, young players, veterans, they've spent all season long not managing to get themselves on the same page for a full sixty minutes, and their playoff lives are now on the line because of it. Injuries are no excuse for a lack of effort or execution, and whether shorthanded or completely healthy, the Wings have yet to play like "themselves" on consecutive occasions this season.

For a time, it looked bad for the Kansas Jayhawks. They had fallen behind 11 points and couldn't make a shot or stop turning the ball over. The unfathomable thought of losing at Texas was starting to become a reality.
A 12-0 run had the Longhorns up 42-31 and the Jayhawks were against the ropes. But, that's about where that ended, as Kansas came together and gutted out a 64-59 win, Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center to improve to 16-1 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12.
For Texas, it was another lost second half lead that Kansas was happy to take advantage of. The Longhorns (8-9, 0-4) are off to their worst start in conference play under coach Rick Barnes, but could easily be 3-1, after blowing second half leads in three of their four losses.
The game was decided late with a sequence of plays keyed by superb defense that surged Kansas into the lead for good. During that stretch it was clear that the veteran Jayhawks showed poise against a Longhorns team that may be the youngest in the country.
Guard Nadir Tharpe who came up big off the bench down the stretch, drove in for a basket to give the Jayhawks the lead 58-57. On the other end, Texas' Jonathan Holmes fouled out when he committed an offensive foul against Kansas center Jeff Withey. Back on the offensive end, senior forward Travis Releford was fouled and calmly hit both free throws to give the 'Hawks a three point lead.
As the clock ticked under a minute to play, Longhorns guard Javan Felix drove inside on Withey, before losing the ball and turning it over to him. Withey hit Tharpe, who dished it to Ben McLemore for an emphatic dunk that sealed the win.
McLemore finished with 16 points to lead Kansas, 11 coming in the second half and added six rebounds. He also seemed to be felling just fine after turning his ankle last Monday against Baylor.
Withey added 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks. Releford chipped in 12 points.
Kansas knows the challenges will only get tougher as they travel to Manhattan, Tuesday night to face Kansas State and new coach Bruce Weber.
The Wildcats beat Oklahoma, Saturday afternoon and could move into the Top 15.
The fourth ranked Jayhawks are also sure to move up after number one Louisville lost.

I just saw a used alloy frame Commander at a local gun store for $475.00. I need some feedback on this. I'm in the market for one , but not sure about the alloy. what should I check for? Thanks!!

Check the frame for cracks where the dust cover meets the rails and around the slide stop pin hole. Look for excessive wear and a lack of anodizing on the frame rails. Look for gouging of the frame feed ramp. $475 sounds like a good price, unless the gun is excessively worn. Aluminum frame 1911 pattern guns have a reputation for lasting 15,000 to 30,000 rounds, some go longer, some don't. I think Kimber puts a 20,000 round warranty on their aluminum frames.
January 14, 2004, 08:25 AM
The old Kimber catalog I have says they tested them to 20,000 rounds with no 'measurable wear'.
January 14, 2004, 11:57 AM
My bad, it was not a statement of warranty, just test results.
January 14, 2004, 01:37 PM
Good price if its in decent shape.
Hard to find a alloy Commander around here. They don't sit in the shops long.

The benefit of a districtwide listserv, my caller reckoned, would be to generate frank discussions about the county's public schools.

J.R. Smith didn't like what the Pistons' Brandon Jenning had to say about his brother Chris Smith's spot on the Knicks roster, but he wasn't suprised by the remarks.
Jennings took to Twitter and bluntly asked how it was possible for Chris Smith to maintain an NBA roster spot, and J.R. Smith immediately took exception. What followed were a number of tweets from J.R. Smith, who would eventually be fined $25,000 for threatening Jennings.
MORE: J.R. Smith engages in Twitter beef | Amare Stoudemire frustrated with limited minutes
Reporters asked J.R. Smith if Jennings' statement broke a code between players, and Smith said there was no code to break.
"There's no loyalty in this game, so there is no loyalty player to player," J.R. Smith told ESPNNewYorkl.com Saturday. "There's no loyalty between anything in this game. I don't really expect that it should be like that, but it isn't."
J.R. Smith has gotten in trouble because of Twitter before. Previously, he was fined $25,000 for posting a semi-nude picture of a woman to his Twitter account.
Knicks coach Mike Woodson has dealt with a number of issues involving J.R. Smith, from his one-game suspension for elbowing Jason Terry in the postseason to his five-game absence for violating the league anti-drug policy. Woodson thinks it's about time for J.R. Smith to cut out the antics.
"He's just got to clean up," Woodson said. "You know that, and I do. He's got to let things roll off, let it go, and just concentrate on playing basketball."
Woodson doesn't plan to impose a social media ban for any of his players.
"There's nothing I can do about that," Woodson said. "I can't take that away from him, none of the players; I don't have the right to do that."
And J.R. Smith doesn't plan on leaving social media.
"No, I'm not going to do that," he said. "I just have to be better at policing myself. (Woodson) sent the right message. It's just a matter of me doing the right thing."

Me too, Katt. I have long femurs, short shins and a big butt like a shire horse. I can now get into a squat but only if I place my feet quite wide, and even then I roll onto the insides of my feet somewhat (plus I also round my back).
I do barbell squats at the gym but I don't go A2G on them - I'd roll over backwards.
One thing most people don't realise is that your psoas (hip flexors) attach to your spine so if they're tight from sitting a lot (desk job, anyone?) they'll pull the arch out of your back and cause what lifters call "butt wink". Working on hip flexor flexibility helps a lot.

Our next seminar will be held on the 5th of April 2006 from 12.30-2pm at the University of Wollongong, Building 19, Room 1003 and all are welcome to attend. Our speaker will be Professor Donna Kerner on 'Micro-finance, Micro-enterprise and the Cultural Logistics of Poverty Alleviation in the Pacific'. The following is an abstract of the paper:
Almost three decades following the first experiment of micro-credit lending by the Grameen Bank to poor women in Bangladesh, the twin pillars of micro-enterprise and micro-credit have become enshrined as a general panacea for poverty alleviation world-wide and linked to the UN's Millennium Development Goals of reducing hunger, eliminating HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, empowering women and improving their health, educating children, and lowering infant mortality. This working paper draws on recent analyses of problems with adapting the Grameen model cross-culturally and explores some of the implications of this development strategy in the context of globalisation processes in the Pacific.
Donna Kerner is Professor of Anthropology at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts. In 2005-06 she is serving as Resident Director of Wheaton's Study Abroad Programs in Australia/New Zealand and is a Senior Visiting Fellow in the School of Social Sciences, Media and Communication at UOW. She has conducted research on gender and micro-enterprise development in Tanzania and in Fiji during the 1990s. Her other research interests include: education and social class, food security and famine prevention, and memory and material culture.

NBC (Sun., Dec. 8, 9 P.M. ET)
John (Night Court) Larroquette plays a shifty, skirt-chasing San Francisco Realtor whose drunken vandalism gets him sentenced to 50 hours of community service coaching a group of developmentally disabled adults in basketball. This self-centered latter-day Scrooge slowly learns values and humility as he brings his team together in time for the Special Olympics—and Christmas.
This utterly predictable tale works better than it should, thanks to a fine cast (Denis Arndt, Kathy Baker, Phil Hartman, Ray Walston and Joe Pantoliano). Larroquette handles both sides of his flip-flop role—cynicism and sentiment—with verve.

Martha Stewart is still looking for love – and now she's enlisted the help of Dr. Oz to find her perfect match.
After revealing she'd created an online dating profile on Match.com, the 71-year-old domestic mogul explains why she's single on Thursday's episode of The Dr. Oz Show.
"I was married for 30 years to a wonderful man who went nuts and left me," she says. "I mean, can you imagine leaving Martha? I can't imagine it."
Trying his hand as matchmaker, Dr. Oz suggests some possible suitors.
Reading that Stewart's profile says she's looking for a man who "relishes adventure and new experiences", he says, "I thought Liam Neeson could help with that."
"That's a good idea, I've always been attracted to him," Stewart replies.
Things take an uncomfortable turn when Dr. Oz asks Stewart if she's looking for love or looking for sex.
"Um," she replies. "We'll talk about that later."

When the Starrs Align
Series: Single Title
Genre: Paranormal/Scifi
Format: eBook
Part of the Wanton Witches Collection
Ten years ago Regan Riley left town to save herself from the scourge of the Starrs. Twin warlocks Chance and Warrick tormented her one too many times, and she fled for safety. But she comes back before the twins ascend and grow more powerful than she can handle. She has one final shot to show them what it's like to be bullied, and she plans to take it.
Chance and Warrick have been looking for the shapeshifting beauty for years. Some out of control magic in their youth made her miserable, and they want her back. But when the tricky feline refuses them, they decide on another way of apologizing. In bed. Before long, forgiveness turns to acceptance. But the twins won't use her to help them survive their Becoming during the blood moon. They lost her once before. They can't do it again. Then Regan wrestles the decision from their hands, and it's do or die. Because this time, losing her isn't an option.

Savannah River Site employees may get a rather unwelcome gift this holiday season as budget shortfalls could see the DOE-owned nuclear weapons complex close for one week in November, December and January.
Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, the management and operations contractor at SRS, is currently considering a variety of actions to mitigate the impact of an expected FY13 budget shortfall, said Barbara Smoak, director of Business, Technical and Employee Communications for SRNS.
Rumors of voluntary furloughs and other cost-cutting measures abounded Friday. SRNS confirmed that furlough discussions of this nature were taking place.
Employees could choose to utilize their paid vacation benefits or to take time off without pay, Smoak said. No decision has been made concerning this option, and this is only a consideration at this time.
As well as vacation furloughs, all of SRS may close for week-long periods, Smoak said.
We are currently discussing the possibility of a plant closing for the weeks during the holidays, beginning with Thanksgiving week, the last week of December and the first week of January, Smoak said. We are carefully evaluating how this approach would be implemented and its site-wide impact.
This is just the most recent round of discussions relating to thinning the SRS workforce.
On Monday, liquid waste contractor Savannah River Remediation announced it is looking to begin a workforce restructuring program, citing conclusion of projects and reduced budgets.
Just two weeks ago, SRNS began offering a similar program, which offers a severance package of one weeks pay for every eligible year of service.

Hi there,
I think there is a missing case in PS 3.5 - 2008 / 7.3.
The VRs that are not a string of
characters and consist of multiple bytes are:
2-byte US, SS, OW and each component of AT
4-byte OF, UL, SL, and FL
8 byte FD
Note: For the above VRs, the multiple bytes are presented in
increasing order of significance when in Little
Endian format. For example, an 8-byte Data Element with VR of FD,
might be written in hexadecimal as
68AF4B2CH, but encoded in Little Endian would be 2C4BAF68H.
When a defined length Sequence (public or private) is sent as UN in a
BigEndianExplicit DataSet, it shall be byte swapped, since the
received dataset was Implicit VR little endian in its previous form
(otehrwise UN would not have been needed). Following the defined term
in cp 246, this SQ is an IVRLE.
I did check:
- dcmtk 3.5.4 / gdcm 2.0.9 is not doing it
- dicom3tools (latest) is doing it

Programming Manager N'Jeri Eaton hosted an informative live chat last Thursday to answer any submission questions for the Diversity Development Fund. ITVS will be accepting applications through Friday, August 16th.
While the chat has come and gone, check out the archived conversation below for helpful submission tips and insights. The original chat can be viewed here.
Hi everyone. Thanks for joining us. Looks like we have a small group today. But that just means more time for you to get all of your pressing questions in. My name is N'Jeri Eaton and I'm a programming manager here at ITVS.
I manage the Diversity Development Fund. The deadline for the fund is Friday, August 16th at 5pm PT. We're also going digital for the first time this year. So please make sure to check our site and read about our new online application process.
Hello and thanks!
So, please submit any questions that you have about DDF.
Can I apply even if I have no previous film experience?
My prior work is commercial and Music video, will that play a determining factor?
We do require that our applicants have experience as either a producer or director on a completed project. However, it could be on anything from a student film, commercials or a film.
I do have a film I directed but it was in 2003… and it was not my best work. I have evolved…lol
OK. Are there funding programs for brand new filmmakers?
If you do not have film experience then I suggest partnering with a producer who does have experience.
Ok great because a lot of my prior work is commercials and music videos but I am submitting the app for a documentary film
Gillian, I don't know of any.
Hakeem, that's fine. We mostly just want to know that you have the ability to complete a project. We have lots of applicants who have film backgrounds that aren't documentary related. It's great to see new perspectives.
Hakeem, that won't be a determining factor as long as you can prove in your written materials that you have a great story and know what it takes to bring it to the screen.
Alexandra Cantin:
Hello. How do I submit a work in progress video?
N'jeri – what makes for a strong application? Do we need to have our entire crew lined up before submitting? Or can we be requesting funds for R&D?
Because DDF is a fund for research and development, we do not require you to submit any video footage. However, if you have some footage already shot, including research footage, I would love to see it.
Hi Aggie, you do not need your entire crew lined up before submitting. But it is good to know who you do have on your team already. Or who you are in talks with or would like to collaborate with once funding comes in
Anonymous VM94:
Are you only looking for stories about diverse communities?
How would I give an estimate for a Producing Staff Script Development Writing Staff…. I am not familiar with this…
With DDF, you are requesting funds for R&D only. As for what makes a strong application, you want to prove that you have a sense of the story and access to the characters you need to tell the story… or at least a plan to get that access. You also want to make sure that the film fits the ITVS mission. You can find the ITVS mission on our website.
What is DDF?
With DDF, we're looking to fund diverse producers but the stories do not necessarily need to be diverse.
How many applicants submit with trailer?
Anonymous VM94:
Can I have a co-applicant on my project?
Although, that is a part of our mission, telling stories of underrepresented communities. We don't like to give hard numbers. What I always suggest is to talk with other producers and get a sense of what you should budget for. This can also depend on who you hire, what their experience level is, and even where they live.
That being said, we want to make sure that the $15k we give for R&D is wisely spent. So don't give 50% of your budget to a producer. 1
Anonymous VM94:
What if I have an idea for a story but I don't have characters selected yet? Do I need to know who my characters are before I apply?
Would my budget estimate determine how much funding I receive? Or is $15000 a set number?
DDF stands for Diversity Development Fund. The fund provides research and development funding to producers of color. We are entering our 8th year.
When you submit a budget, you should be showing how you will spend the $15k in DDF funds. Of course, the development phase can be more expensive. But we want to see what you'll hope to accomplish with our funding.
Anonymous VM94:
Can I apply with a series?
If you have an idea for a story but don't have the characters yet, then you can use stand-in characters in the treatment based on your research. So if you're making a film about a juvenile detention facility but you don't know who the youth in the film will be yet until you start shooting, then we at least want to get a sense from you that you know what type of youth you'll encounter. Or who you'll need to tell your story.
I know DDF seeks to serve underrepresented communities. Does this mean across various categories (ethnicity, age, political affiliation, location, etc.)? Are there specific categories ITVS believes are currently underrepresented and wants to focus on?
But having characters beforehand definitely makes your project more competitive. Not having them won't be a deal breaker.
Anonymous VM94:
Can I have feedback on my proposal?
Again, with DDF, we just want to fund producers of color but the films can be about anything as long as it meets our mission. And presenting stories from underrepresented communities is just one part of our mission.
N'jeri – is there any way we can get a transcript of this conversation after the fact? The info about how to write characters into our treatments is extremely helpful.
You can read more about our mission here: http://itvs.org/about
Could acquiring archival footage, and or music licensing be part of this funding. I'm trying to get a particular song from Beyonce… JK
DDF review is divided into two phases. If your project gets to the second phase, then I will provide feedback.
Does the timeline I provide have to be set in stone? Or is it an estimate or a goal date?
We received too many proposals in the first phase to give feedback to everyone, unfortunately.
Can you give us a sense of percentage of projects that make it to 2nd phase?
Yes, I will make sure that the archive of this chat is posted on our blog.
It is an estimate. This is the R&D phase and we recognize that things can change quickly. We also just want to support you to come out of this development phase with the strongest materials possible. And if that means extending the timeline, then that's fine.
I can give you some numbers based on last year. Last year we received about 120 applications. We brought 30 projects to the finalist stage. We ultimately funded 10 projects. So we fund about 10% of the applicants.
Anonymous 5QEZ:
What's been your most successful DDF film?
Anonymous VM94:
What are the most common mistakes that applicants make?
Is one of the selection criteria finding projects that ITVS can envision will make it to public television eventually?
Anonymous ZRZQ:
Hi N'Jeri, can I submit multiple proposals?
Haha! Yeah, our little funding wouldn't make a dent on a Beyonce song. But you can include archival footage costs in your budget. Just not the costs for the masters.
You can only submit one application to any ITVS initiative at a time.
Yes. Our goal with DDF is to bring new and diverse voices to public television. So if you receive funding from DDF, you are making the commitment to broadcast your film on public television.
Do any films go through DDF that don't end up being completed or broadcast?
If you were to go on to receive production funding from ITVS, then we would acquire the U.S. broadcast rights of your film for public television. This is a really good question.
Can the funding be applied to travel expenses I've already spent for the film?
Make sure to read eligibility requirements.
If I receive funding, Will i still have rights to distribute my film after it is selected for public broadcasting?
Also, DDF only funds single documentaries. We do not fund series. But we have multiple people who apply with series every year.
Funding can only be used for R&D development activities moving forward. The funding can't be used to reimburse for past shoots or deferred payments.
We only acquire the U.S. broadcast rights. You retain all of the other rights: home video, education, international broadcast, etc.
That's hard to define. I consider every film that gets completed, whether it's through production funding from ITVS or another source, to be successful.
If we receive DDF and the idea is that the film should make its way to public television, will ITVS also more easily provide future support to get the film to finishing stages?
But I will say that in the next season of Independent Lens, we have several DDF alums premiering their films, including The Waiting Room and Marthas.
Anonymous VM94:
How long is the review process?
Anonymous I4CD:
If my project is funded, do I get any other kind of support from you? Besides financially?
Why is there a paused video on the left side…over there?
Yes, but that is the nature of the industry. Sometimes it's because, for one reason or another, a film doesn't make it out of development phase.
And sometimes it's because fundraising can be a very long and difficult process.
Anonymous ZRZQ:
Is there a website we can visit to see past DDF recipients?
But I will say that if you get production funding from ITVS, we have a Broadcast and Distribution team here that has found a home for every film we've ever funded.
The review process is about 3 months. If you become a finalist, you will be notified about the funding decision by mid to late October. 1
This is just a few of the previously funded DDF projects that then went on to receive production funding: http://itvs.org/funding/ddf/criteria
Alexandra Cantin:
Do you provide feedback for the projects that do not get accepted?
It hasn't been updated in a while. But additional films include The Waiting Room, Marthas, Reportero, Black Kungfu Experience, and More Than a Month.
If a project is a finalist, then we do provide feedback.
Anonymous VM94:
What if I've already started production, am I still eligible?
If your project is funded then we work very closely with each other over a six-month period. I provide feedback on treatments and work-in-progress samples.
On the questionnaire where it asked for other funders… does this mean other organizations similar to this or could this also mean private funding or fundraisers?
I also organize webinars. We had one several months ago with the head of the film program from Kickstarter. It was a Crowdfunding 101 webinar. Last year, I also organized a webinar with the DDF producers and a representative from each of the minority consortia.
But I'm basically here as a source of support. Whatever questions or help the filmmakers need, I try to provide. Even if it's just a ear to rant to when another funder or a character is being unreasonable.
It just means any person or organization that has provided funding.
Anonymous I4CD:
Does it include my own $ I've put into the project?
We don't need the names of individual donors though. You can just put Private Donations, $_____. Yes, you can include that as Producer's Cash
Receiving finishing funds for a project is never easy. But it definitely helps if you have received DDF funding. It means that we had an interest in the project early on. And we want to fund DDF projects. However, that's not a guarantee. We ultimately want to fund projects that really strong.
Anonymous I4CD:
If I applied in the past and didn't get chosen, is it worth applying again?
We allow projects who are in early production. But we judge it on a case-by-case basis.
We were successful at raising our goal in two weeks on a crowdfunding site (not Kickstarter). Does this need to be disclosed with each donor or the final goal… which is now public info. I hope that question makes sense.
Sometimes people say they are in production but it's really early on and their treatment and story need more development.
If we dont' have additional funding support at the current moment, will that count against us?
Anonymous VM94:
Can I apply to Open Call if I have an open DDF contract?
Yes, but only if there has been some development in your project. Either you've been able to do more research or your story is more fleshed out. Or you've added a new character. We want to see some growth. You can still apply if you feel like your project hasn't had much growth.
No, you can only have one contract open at a time. But, we have structured DDF so that your contract ends in time to apply for the next round of Open Call.
Hakeem, I think you're asking if you should say that you raised a certain amount off a crowdfunding site. If so, yes. That's helpful for us because it shows that there is public interest in your film.
Absolutely not. This is for R&D funding so we recognize that you may not have other funding yet. And the reality is that fewer organizations are funding R&D. But I'm amazed at how people are able to work around that and get their films made.
With Ovee, you need to have a video uploaded in order to chat. It's just a tease. Sorry.
Anonymous VM94:
Do I need to apply with an hour? Or can I apply with a proposal for a short?
By the way this is the best Q&A I've every participated in. You don't have to approve this. I really thank you. Even if we are not a finalist… it helps us to put our project better in prospective. Thank you. You will hear more from me… please give a brother a chance. lol.
You can't apply with a series. However, we do have the Series and Special Projects Initiative. We accept applications for limited series there.
You can read more here: http://itvs.org/funding/series-and-special-projects
Alexandra Cantin:
What are you looking for in written materials?
You can apply with an hour or a half hour short. We don't accept shorts at anything less than 30 minutes because it would be too hard to program. By the way, PBS programmers love shorts!
I approved it anyway! Thanks for your kind words, Hakeem.
N'jeri – how do you suggest we best determine whether our film will work best as a short or faeture? If we are in R&D, it seems that that answer will sort of emerge through the process…
If you find that you have more questions, please feel free to email me at email@example.com
That's a really good question. First, let me clarify that at ITVS, we consider a feature to be 90 min and a short to be 30 min and that is a huge difference. But filmmakers often ask whether a film would be better as a feature or an hour or an hour vs a half hour.
Anonymous VM94:
Does it need to be 100% documentary? I'm planning sort of a hybrid fiction/doc.
For DDF, we only contract films at an hour. If you find through the R&D process that your film would be better at a different length, then that's fine. We won't hold you to that hour. So when you apply for production funding, it can be at any length.
But if you want to make a feature, you want to make sure that the material warrants that length. Is the story strong enough? Will it keep an audience's attention at that length? Because those are the questions we ask ourselves when reviewing projects.
So you will accept feature films for DDF funding 90 mins? Will I get a better chance at funding staying within an hour?
It does need to be a documentary. That being said, we are really interested in innovative story techniques, especially with the trend of incorporating more narrative elements into documentaries (i.e. The Informant).
You should still submit but be clear about what you mean about a hybrid doc. You should still submit as a feature if you feel strongly about that length.
With DDF, we do not allow co-applicants. But please include that person as member of your team.
I would say about 15% of applicants submit with a trailer. Again, this is for R&D funding so many applicants aren't at that point yet.
Alright, it's 12pm so it is time to wrap things up. Thanks so much for joining me.
Again, if you have any additional questions (and I'm sure you will) then please email me at email@example.com 2. And check out our Beyond the Box blog in the next couple of days. I'll make sure the archive of this chat gets posted.

Jewish Museum hosts provocative artwork of Soviet Union
Felix Lembersky's Jewish heritage and cultural background as a citizen of the Soviet Union during one of the most turbulent times of the modern age express themselves deeply in his artwork — indeed they are buttressed by this identity. The Jewish Museum is hosting a provocative, if at times inconsistent, survey of this artist's profoundly experienced life in paint.
The most ambitious work in the show is an interpretation of atrocity. "Execution: Babi Yar" (1952) depicts the 1941 massacre of 80,000 souls, 34,000 of whom were Jewish. Lembersky was one of the first visual artists to treat this subject matter. In doing so he used compositional devices from art history, specifically Gustave Courbet, as well as his knowledge of Soviet Social Realist traditions and his own gutsy paint application. »Read Full Article

Endoscopic and computed tomographic images. A, Emergent upper gastroduodenal endoscopy demonstrated hemobilia emerging from the papilla of Vater. B, Abdominal computed tomography with intravenous contrast demonstrated massive clots in the gall bladder and duodenum. C, Another caudal slice of the computed tomographic scan.
Kensuke Adachi, MD, PhD; Tomohito Minami, MD, PhD
A 54-year-old man with a history of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis and hepatitis presented with epigastric pain and melena, with a loss of 6 kg of body weight during the last month. He appeared anemic rather than icteric. Physical examination on admission revealed mild hepatomegaly and upper abdominal tenderness, without splenomegaly or ascites. Laboratory workup disclosed severe anemia (hemoglobin, 7.6 g/dL [to convert to grams per liter, multiply by 10.0]) and mild liver dysfunction (aspartate aminotransferase, 130 U/L; alanine aminotransferase, 96 U/L [to convert both to microkatals per liter, multiply by 0.0167]). Emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed active bleeding from the papilla of Vater (Figure, A). Abdominal ultrasonography showed that the gallbladder was filled with debris, which color Doppler flow studies indicated was consistent with a blood clot. Enhanced abdominal computed tomographic scans are shown in the Figure, B and C.

Happy Friday! This post is a little later than normal since I took today off from work. It feels good to be relaxing in my pajamas. It felt good to relax in my pajamas last night too. I enjoyed a some kitty time and a some wine (I tried the Veranda 2008 cab and absolutely loved it).
I plan to attend spin class later, and I'm excited to bring my new Polar HR monitor. Seeing my HR while exercising has been really interesting. I generally don't track calories burned, but it's still a nice reality check to see it after a really hard (or a much too easy) workout.
I brought it to the gym yesterday for a 3-mile treadmill run and a quick, full-body workout.
This workout was quick but not easy. Do 10 power cleans, 8-10 bosu burpees, and 12-15 kb swings. Complete each move back to back, then rest a minute, and then do it again. Perform 3 sets of the circuit.
