I have been corresponding for a few years with several prisoners who took part in the 2012 hunger strike in Jackson State prison, including the author of this piece. He and three others are now on a hunger strike in Reidsville since February 26. Earlier pieces by these hunger strikers are here: http://atlanta.indymedia.org/local/another-reidsville-hunger-striker-speaks-out

Defining GA.'s New Torture Tool!Tier Program Admin Segregation
By: Kelvin Stevenson #570391 3/20/2015
Another hunger striking Reidsville prisoner has come forward to speak out about his protest. He and Kelvin J. Stevenson, whose letter I transcribed yesterday, are among four men on hunger strike since February 26. http://atlanta.indymedia.org/local/georgia-prisoners-hunger-strike-reids...
I began corresponding with some of the men who participated in the 2012 hunger strike a couple years ago, and I transcribed some of their letters and published them here: http://atlanta.indymedia.org/category/category/ga-prisoner-hunger-strike
This letter from LaDarius Colbert is entirely in his own words.
I have been correspondng with several prisoners in Georgia prisons since the 2012 prisoner hunger strike in Jackson. They have repeatedly tried to get redress for their grievances about mistreatment, and when those attempts have failed they have been forced to resort to hunger strike. Here is a letter from one prisoner who has been refusing food since February 23. It is all in his own words.
Today, roughly 40 people rallied at the Georgia State Capitol in solidarity with the hunger strikers, who approach one month without food. Brandishing a large banner proclaiming support and home-made signs, the group staged on the plaza in front of the Capitol building and listened to Delma Jackson, wife of striker Miguel Jackson, give background and updates to the present situation.
Several folks have spotted very large graffiti scrawled across an empty wall in north Decatur.
The graffiti reads "Fire 2 Jails" and "SOLIDARITY WITH JACKSON STATE PRISON HUNGER STRIKERS".
Here are two pictures:
Even though it's just a small gesture, my heart was warmed when I saw the pictures circulating around the internet.
Show up to the solidarity rally on Monday at 11am. Most recent rumor is that it's at the state capitol but it also may be at Channel 2 news at 1601 West Peachtree Street.

Renovation Completed at Minnesota's Edinburgh USA
Edinburgh USA, a Robert Trent Jones II-designed facility opened in 1987, recently completed a $1.9-million overhaul of its golf course, which is located 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and owned by the city of Brooklyn Park.
One of the New Bunkers at Edinburgh USA
According to Bruce Charlton, president and chief design officer at Robert Trent Jones II, "We tried to make the course more playable and easier to maintain by taking out a lot of the sand and introducing fairway grass in its place. Basically, we tried to dial up the 'fun factor.' The idea was to give players more options, especially around the greens. Unlike before, you're not always in a bunker if you miss a green. We've greatly reduced the amount of sand around the putting surfaces."
Players can now putt, chip or bump-and-run the ball onto the greens from the closely-mown surrounds, said Charlton. He added that the course is also more environmentally sustainable after the makeover.
Don Berry, Edinburgh USA's director of golf for 27 years, said the remedial work started as a basic bunker renovation and took off from there. "We rebuilt and reshaped every bunker on the course, and several were eliminated to enhance playability."
Duininck Golf, a Minnesota-based golf course construction firm, employed the "Better Billy Bunker Method" to rebuild the sand traps at Edinburgh USA. This durable system uses a 2-inch pea gravel layer sprayed with the patented Better Billy Bunker Polymer to bind the gravel together, allowing maximum drainage, substantially reducing washouts and eliminating silt contamination.
Berry reported that Duininck Golf did "fabulous" work, especially with the bunkers, which were reduced in size and trimmed with bentgrass. "There are almost no lips," he explained. "They're less costly to maintain and, from a playing perspective, they're easier to get in and out of, which has improved the pace of play."
According to superintendent Tom Fischer, who joined Edinburgh USA in 1985, said the renovation's planning and construction phases at the popular Twin Cities layout - including all sodding - were completed in mid-August.
"We had a horrible spring and the second-wettest June on record, yet Duininck Golf finished the job on time and under budget despite the adverse weather conditions," he said. "They even brought in a second crew to make up for lost time."
Fischer noted that 25 years ago, golf courses were designed to be difficult. "Everyone was vying to see who could build the toughest golf course."
Times have changed. "Over a dozen bunkers were removed to make Edinburgh USA more fun and more playable," Fischer explained. There are now 62 fairway and greenside bunkers, but they are smaller and shallower than the originals.
"We went from 140,000 square feet of bunkers to 104,000 square feet," Fischer noted of the decrease.
In addition to a bunker overhaul, other parts of the course were refurbished. The tee boxes at three par-3s - Nos. 2, 6 and 8 - were expanded by 50 percent from their original dimensions, a necessary addition for a public course that hosts upwards of 35,000 rounds a year.
Trees were removed to widen the fairways. Also, "kicker" slopes were built on the back sides of a few greens to funnel the ball back to the putting surface. In addition, three greens were rebuilt - the first and third as well as the practice green.
"Duininck Golf re-contoured collection areas around the greens and added a total of four acres of turfgrass around the putting surfaces," Fischer noted. "The course is now easier for the average player from the forward tees, but it's still a championship-caliber test for low-handicappers from the back tees at 6,904 yards (par 72)."
According to Berry, "Duininck Golf finished within one week of the deadline and came in under budget. The construction crew did a good job of catching up after the rainy spring - they fought through adversity to complete the renovation work and did an outstanding job. We're getting rave reviews from our customer base and local media outlets."

These twenty-three stories represent the best work of one of the finest and most emotionally revealing writers in America. Andre Dubus treats his characters--a bereaved father stalking his son's killer; a woman crying alone by her television late at night; a devout teenager writing in the coils of faith and sexuality; a father's story of limitless love for his daughter--with respect and compassion. He turns fiction into an act of witness. Books by Andre Dubus also in Vintage Contemporaries paperback: Dancing After Hours.
"Like some of the most satisfying storytellers of the past (Dubus has been compared to Chekhov), he is munificent, spinning out whole lifetimes and recounting events from many characters' viewpoints. For the lyricism and directness of his language, the richness and precision of his observations and the generosity of his vision, he is among the best."--Village Voice
"Dubus's characters resemble those of Raymond Carver...but the stories stand alone in their idiosyncratic spiritual cast, occasionally religious, more often expressive of devotion to the people he lives among."--New York Times Book Review

Paine Elementary
Students from Paine Elementary School raised money through a coin drive for two weeks in October to help United Way of Central Alabama.
Paine Primary and Paine Intermediate share the Paine Elementary School campus.
The students raised $800.14 during the coin drive and along with teacher donations, the school received more than $5,700 for United Way.
Christy Naylor, the school counselor, has served as the United Way campaign coordinator for six years.
"With the current state of the economy, so many people are hurting and struggling financially to support themselves or their families. This was our chance to show compassion to others, while learning about the importance of giving. I am so proud of their very generous efforts," Naylor said.

America's Got Talent winner Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. never doubted his talent or passion. But it was life's obstacles that gave the Season 6 champ reason to believe his dreams wouldn't come true.
Homeless at 19 and working as a West Virginia car-washer to provide for his family just prior to competing on the show, Murphy, now 37, says becoming an overnight star is surreal.
"It's beyond belief," the Frank Sinatra-sound-alike jazz singer told PEOPLE alongside his teary-eyed wife on Wednesday night shortly after winning $1 million and his own headlining act in Las Vegas. "Is this really happening? I'm standing on a red carpet taking pictures. It feels wonderful."
As well it should. "I started off as a toddler dancing for my family and friends," said Murphy. "It's been a hard journey trying to get to this point."
Murphy, who kicks off his Vegas show on Oct. 28, wants his victory to be an inspiration to others.
"I want to place hope back into [society], because it's like people have lost hope in their dreams and desires," he said. "I want to reverse that."
Although Murphy now has the finances to party like a rock star, he sure isn't celebrating like one.
"I'm getting a lot of sleep," he said of his plans for the rest of the evening, despite being invited to sip bubbly with his idol and Wednesday night duet partner, Patti LaBelle. "I've got to get some sleep."

It's the end of an era at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley.
After June 30, the club will be under new leadership for the first time in almost three decades as Chief Professional Officer Jim Ventress officially retires from the job he has held since 1985.
In his 37 years with the Boys & Girls Club, including 29 years in the Santa Clarita Valley, Ventress has built his legacy brick by brick — not bad for someone who didn't even think he would be around for the long haul.
"I was only planning to stay on the job for a year," he said with a wry smile during a recent interview. "That was 37 years ago."
Born in Los Angeles, Ventress graduated from Salesian High School and began school at Los Angeles City College while working at United Parcel Service.
But soon his work at UPS began to take up more of his time, putting a temporary halt to his higher education.
He was making good money and traveling quite a bit, but something ate at him.
"I got to the point where I said, 'You know, my dad had a sixth-grade education and I have a chance to get a college degree,'" Ventress said. "So I went back."
Ventress graduated with a degree in recreational administration from California State University, Los Angeles, in 1978.
Club background
He first became involved with the Boys & Girls Club long before he came to the Santa Clarita Valley - and before it was even known as the Boys & Girls Club, for that matter.
In 1977 he started work as an arts and crafts director at the Salesian Boys Club in Los Angeles.
Soon he became athletic director. Then he became the club's program director.
Yet when he was first approached with the idea of becoming executive director at that club, he was resistant.
"I told them I like to spend the money, I didn't want the responsibility of raising the money," he said with a laugh.
But Ventress eventually relented and took over as executive director in 1980.
Five years later, in 1985, another opportunity presented itself, this time to take on leadership duties at a club in a growing burg north of Los Angeles.
Once again, he wasn't quite sure it would be a fit.
"They asked me to come and do an interview for the club in the Santa Clarita Valley, but I wasn't looking to leave," he explained.
However, one of his board members urged him to reconsider. So Ventress interviewed for the position of executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley.
When he heard the club did not have a full building, he became more intrigued at the opening.
He was appointed in March 1985. But once again, he didn't expect to be on the job terribly long.
"I gave myself a year," he said. "And after a year is when we really started to rock and roll."
Club growth
The club then was decentralized, a series of satellite locations serving hundreds of boys and girls spread out throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.
The top priority was to change that.
Ventress spearheaded study and development of a plan to build a permanent club complex to serve the fast-growing Santa Clarita Valley.
Ventress' goal came to fruition in 1992 with the opening of a 20,000-square-foot facility next to Hart High School.
Another, 27,000-square-foot shared facility followed later, opening up at Sierra Vista Junior High School in 2003.
Speaking in his office in Newhall, a small room crammed with photos and commendations from his years at the club, Ventress said those accomplishments belong to the community.
"It's been a blessing to be here and see so many good people rally around the club and accomplish our goals," Ventress said.
After a pause, he nodded. "It's been a real blessing."
Tony Newhall, who was involved in the decision to hire Ventress, said the choice was a no-brainer at the time and has proven to be so since.
"He was head and shoulders above anyone else who applied," Newhall recalled in an interview Saturday.
Newhall said Ventress' leadership helped stabilize the club and give it clear direction for the future.
"He just brought everyone together," Newhall said. "He had a vision."
Longtime Boys & Girls Club board member Gary Condie said one of the most impressive things about Ventress is that he "walks the walk."
"Jim Ventress is for real," Condie said Saturday. "He lives what he preaches."
Condie was also involved in the decision to hire Ventress and said Ventress challenged the club to grow.
"At the time, all we had were these little sheds at the corners of some of the school grounds," Condie said. "And Jim said, 'You've got to get larger buildings so you can offer more of the program.'
"Jim Ventress brought that vision to this valley," he said.
In retirement, Ventress said he plans to take it easy for a while, maybe do some traveling to see family and friends.
Most of all, he said, he's looking forward to having the time to take things slow, put some more time into a morning workout at the gym and take the opportunity to watch Monday Night Football with his buddies.
"My only responsibility will be chores around the house, and I only do that when I feel like it," Ventress said.
"And I don't have to shave to do that," he added with a laugh.
Ventress will retire on June 30, but the search to replace him will start far sooner.
The search will be a national one, and anyone who is interested can apply beginning Monday at www.BGCA.net.
Diane Fiero, current governing board president for the Boys & Girls Club, said Ventress will be "nearly impossible to replace."
"We will miss him dearly, but he has certainly earned his retirement," she said in a news release.
Condie echoed the sentiment.
"He has touched so many lives," he said of Ventress. "One time, we sat down and tried to calculate it, and we figured he must have touched the lives of tens of thousands of children in the time he's been here.
"And that's the impact he's had," Condie said.

Want to feel like you're wearing a suit of armor? You'll get that sensation driving the 1998 Dodge Durango, Chrysler's answer to slightly bigger sport-utility vehicles such as the Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Tahoe. The Dodge Durango, which bears two venerable names out of the old West, is imposing - and cumbersome. And therein lies its charm. It does exactly what a sport-utility is supposed to do, and even provides seating for up to eight passengers. We're predicting it's going to be a huge success. But that doesn't mean we necessarily give it our seal of approval. She: The Durango is so hip, so right on that when you read the $33,200 window sticker on our test vehicle, you notice little touches like the fact that it has not a cigarette lighter, but a cigar lighter. I called Chrysler to congratulate them for being so tuned into pop culture, but they told me, nah, it's the same size as a cigarette lighter - we just decided to call it a cigar lighter to be cool. That tells me all the stops are being pulled out for style, but not always functionality. That's why this beast only gets 12 miles per gallon in city driving. There's a price to pay for all that "fashion." He: I don't know how fashionable it is these days to drive a 4,736-pound sport-utility with a 5.9-liter V-8. That's even bigger than the standard engine in a GMC Suburban or Lincoln Navigator. Of course, the Durango isn't in the same class as either one of those big utes. Chrysler put leather on our test vehicle, along with a breathtaking price tag, but I still have trouble envisioning this as a premium model. A 10-minute test loop on our local side streets convinced me that the Durango, despite all the hoopla, is still a truck, plain and simple. Looks like a truck. Drives like a truck. Quacks like a truck. What would you call it? She: A glorified truck. And that's why you'll either love it or hate it. Love it because it's cut from the same mold as the popular Dodge Ram pickup. It looks like the Ram with the big chrome grille and the fenders that look like they're stuffed with stiff shoulder pads. And it's based on the mid-size Dakota pickup truck, so the instrument panel, engine and underpinnings are basically the same. The upshot: While you get that trucky look, you also suffer with a harsh, choppy, rough ride. He: Some of the key selling points are also some of the weak points, in my book. Truck guys love that bouncy ride. It makes me nauseous. And they love the 250-horsepower V-8, which costs an extra $885. But if you don't need the towing capacity, I'd just as soon settle for the smaller, less-thirsty 3.9-liter V-6. The engineers also managed to squeeze in a third-row bench seat, which is available as a $550 option. That's something you can't get on a Ford Explorer or a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Problem is, it's tough to get back there to that third seat, and once you're there, there's not a lot of headroom or legroom. And when the third seat is being used, there's very little space left behind the seat for cargo or luggage. I wouldn't plan on traveling a long distance with a family of six in this vehicle. She: But a lot of families are going to be attracted to the Durango, especially active families who tow jet-skis and other gear. That optional 5.9-liter V-8 can tow 7,000 pounds, which beats much of the competition. But I can see some moms being disappointed by spending all that money and getting relatively few safety features in return. After all, you don't get side air bags and you have to pay extra for four-wheel anti-lock brakes. You get standard rear-wheel anti-lock brakes, but that means you can lock up the front in a panic stop, which, ahem, I believe you did, dear. He: Well, it wasn't exactly a panic stop. More hysteria, I'd say. The point is, you shouldn't have to pay extra for a safety feature that a lot of the competition includes as standard equipment. That seems to be the case with a lot of th eatures on the Durango we tested. And even though the options inflated the $25,810 base price by nearly $8,000, you still feel an awful lot like you're riding in a blue-collar truck - a smartly styled and highly functional blue-collar truck, granted. And I don't mean Chrysler should add a lot of fake wood and fancy gadgets. That's why they sell a Grand Cherokee. But they could probably upgrade the quality of the plastic and improve the trim fits on the Durango. She: The only other standard feature it needs is the guy who stands at the airport gate with the earphones and orange sticks. He'd come in really handy when you're trying to park the Durango - or any other sport-utility of its size. But I guess you just light up that cigar, hold up traffic and feel superior in what's likely to be one of the most desirable sport-utilities of the year. 1998 Dodge Durango 4x4 SLT Plus Type: Four-wheel-drive, eight-passenger sport-utility vehicle What's new for '98: All new Price: Base, $25,810; as tested, $33,200 (including $525 destination charge) Standard equipment: Air conditioning, AM/FM radio/cassette, Roof luggage rack, Power mirrors, Rear window defroster, Rear wiper/washer, Intermittent wipers, Variable assist power sttime transfer case Safety features: Dual air bags, Rear anti-lock brakes Options on test vehicle: Leather high-back bucket seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, suede door trim panel with map pocket ($670) EPA fuel economy: 12 mpg city/17 mpg highway Engine: 5.9-liter V-8; 250 hp at 4,000 rpm; 335 lb-ft torque at 3,200 rpm Transmission: Four-speed automatic 12-month insurance cost, according to AAA Michigan*: $1,121. Rates based on an average family of four from the Livonia area whose primary driver is aged 40 with no tickets who drives 3-10 miles each way to work. Rates reflect multicar discount and, where appropriate, discounts for air bags and seat belts. Where built: Newark, Del.

so I pop out to do some lawns, and there is all this talk of cabbages, planes going down, drink driving - crickey Gwamma needs to get in on the act !!!!!!!!!
LL I am sure everything will be fine - and you know my answer to anything stressful or celebratarious !!!!!!!!

Good lord, you do remember that I work in a Retirement Village don't you? *shudder*
yes freaking fat chance. last time i even asked for something dd3 told me she wasnt my slave. and it was something like bring your plate off the table, not something outrageous like rub my feet and bring me a bottle of whisky out the pantry so i can get smashed and neglect you!!!! i made the 1 mile run course but obviously i walked it. it was ok so long as i kept my dodgy ankle in the camber of the road so it was rolling outwards a tinsy bit. i feel alot better already. no one stopped to rescue me which they were all doing yesterday when i walked up the hill to see the neighbour LOL so that is a good sign.
afternoon drinks G!! then you dont have to drive anywhere. you dont have to worry about cabbages as you will not need them and you will not notice any planes unless they happen to land on you. awesome day out here. i am considering my next move. if i can be bothered to put my jeans on, i will go for a blat on the hog. otherwise i will be responsible and work to earn my keep.
[QUOTE]rub my feet and bring me a bottle of whisky out the pantry so i can get smashed and neglect you!!!! [/QUOTE]
LOL! Have you all seen a TV show called Shameless? There's a British version and an American version. That sentence reminded me of it. Drunken father, no mom, six children all into various hustles to keep the lights on, food in the house, etc. Should be a tragedy, but it's hysterically funny. One of my favorite American episodes was when Dad loses his disability benefits, gets a job, then shoots himself in the hand on purpose with a nail gun so he can go back on disability.
good morning all - I think that Gwamma has made a break through.....................
* Gwamma decided that she needed to ditch the coffee to see if it was causing dull aching in the body
* Gwamma also had a couple of wine free nights
* aching continued but got progressively better
* Last night Gwamma was ache free, even thou she consumed a whole bottle !!!!!!!!!!!!
so conclusion of this scientifically controlled study ???????
the list of foods and drink that Gwamma CANNOT consume is growing by the day - Gwamma will be thin in no time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning, G. I'm glad you had an ache-free night. But you will now have to make yourself a long list of new treats or you will fade away to nothing - not to mention living a very boring existence.
Hi Annie - how are you my girl ???
I would love to fade away - but alas its just a dream............
i aint about to fade away any time soon either. i think it takes quite a while, as in a few weeks, to get things out of your system that are causing issues. i know if the kids get glutened by accident, it takes about 2 weeks for them to come right ( around about time for another trip to their dads to get glutened again! ). normally too the symptoms peak at about a week to 10 days after they eat something.
misty still morning here. we had a fantail in the house at breakfast. i try not to be supersticious about it. it was very interesting. it sat on top of all the high up cupboards and chatted. then flew around hovering and ate a few insects off the ceiling. then flew off out the back door. the cat from hell, sat on the floor and clicked her jaw at it and looked very angry LOL
I love fantails and I too do not get superstitious about them in my house. I think that we can read just about anything into anything if we really want.
read your horoscope and by golly IT WILL HAPPEN - because they are so ambiguous
Actually it amazes me how DH - no matter what he wants (not that he ever actually asks) can make an argument sound plausible for ANYTHING !!!!!!!

One thought on "RMSP 365 Day Project: Day 85"
Barry Grivett
I love it! Oh, I wish I had even half your artistic vision.
Please forgive the following suggestion: if this image were mine, and I wish it was, I'd crop or burn-in the bright sliver in the UR corner as I find it an eye-trap. I can imagine why you chose to leave it: it IS a strong repetitive element; for me, the image would be even stronger without it: 6-star!!

Woman charged in Erie knife incident
A woman was jailed after Erie police said she threw a knife at a man, then fought with officers who took her into custody.
Latasha Pulliam, 37, who is listed as homeless, was placed in the Erie County Prison on $25,000 bond after she was arraigned this morning before Erie 6th Ward District Judge Dominick DiPaolo on charges of simple assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.
Police accuse Pulliam of throwing a knife at a man at an apartment complex in the 400 block of West Third Street at about 12:10 a.m. The knife narrowly missed the man, according to the criminal complaint.
Police said Pulliam fought with officers as she was being taken into custody.

The cast was great, showing a lot of talent as they switched from one character to another. The music at times was distracting. The story line was clever, entertaining, thought provoking and educational. The profanity was over done and did not add to the show.

Awesome day at Maitlands as usual. Blooded a new sloper (Well done Chris, unfortunately his "landing" occurred before he expected it, but already repaired), successfully maidened two new Zagi's, Had a spectacular mid-air, got a flying display from 3 real warbirds, saw a speedy hang glider in action, and Ken even got to climb some trees.
Wow! All these videos!
Here is our Slipper contribution!
Awesome videos of yesterdays action. You could feel the excitement building early morning when the Whatsapp messages started,everybody was busy charging batteries and negotiating with their goverments for a day out in the slope. Flying was action packed and my sentiments go out to Ken who after spending an hour in the bush retrieving his plane came back with a backside full of thorns.
Awesome days flying and we missed those who were at Slipper....

The walk is worth it but by the time you get to your car you have forgotten about the fun and need to find other ways to make the walk fun
Ken, why did it take so long for you to find your Hawk ? I saw a video of exactly where it went down
""Jim got a bit wet......""
He looks a tad PI$$ED OFF!!
Is he?........was he??
Who's gonna try this????
check this out........ Sloping an Heli. This is a SA guy that did some research...
Letter from Guy that slopes a heli as advice......
When I slope soar the heli, I remove the engine, canopy, 2 servos, tail
rotor, gas tank, gyro, etc. I.e., it's a really stripped down bird. Might
be better say what's there rather than what's not! Just 3 servos (collective,
2 cyclic servos), receiver, batteries, frame, head and blades, landing gear,
tail boom, and vertical stabilizer. (The latter for weathervaning
while flying).
I set up the collective to go from about -7 to +12.
To get the heli started, I stand at the edge of the slope and hold it
overhead with my left hand, gripping it by the top of the frame just behind
the main shaft.
I move the transmitter collective stick all the way down. (It is essential
to have a transmitter neck strap to do this, since you only have one hand
to manipulate the transmitter controls!) Slowly at first, the blades start
to turn. They gradually pick up speed. As they go faster, the angle of
attack the blades see decreases, and at some magic moment they unstall.
Then, the blades suddenly start going REALLY fast! I then use cyclic to level
the helicopter.
As the blades are cranking at their high speed, I move collective up.
It is easy to find the collective setting that maximizes lift; you can feel
the lift on the hand that is holding the helicopter. At this point, the
helicopter is straining hard against your hand, pulling upwards.
With your right hand on the cyclic stick, say a prayer (;-)) and release
the helicopter. It will shoot straight up maybe 30 or 40 feet. As it
does so, the blades will slow down, and reach a steady rate. At this
point, I take my left thumb off the collective entirely, and fly only
with cyclic. (I found the hard way that if the heli starts to settle it
is easy to subconsciously add in collective, and cross that threshold where
the blades will no longer keep turning. Lose head speed fast, come down
over the cliff line fast, ..., not good.)
As long as the wind hangs in there, you can stay up as long as you want.
You can use cyclic to fly back and forth along the ridge line. The
vertical stabilizer on the tail will ensure that the heli weathervanes, and
keeps going forward, nose into the direction of flight.
You can play the collective up and down a little, always making sure not
to push it too high and suddenly lose head speed. And, you can do a
"flare": pull back on the cyclic to expose more of the rotor disk to the
wind, and see the heli shoot up and somewhat back.
To land, I use cyclic to hover at altitude just behind the edge of the
cliff, and then use collective to slowly lower the heli. The goal is to
set the heli down on the ground at the edge of the cliff. But, it gets a
little dicey, because at some point you descend into the "shadow" of the
edge of the cliff and out of the wind. Expect a lot of "adventurous"
landings if you try this. But, the good news is that most crashes are
low-energy affairs and don't hurt the heli too much. Also, head balance
etc. seems much less critical doing this than flying with an engine.
Tail boom strike? No problem! Just bend that tail boom straight and
throw it off the cliff again! (The only thing the tail boom is doing is
holding the vertical stab; no tail rotor, etc.)
I think it would be really wild to try some aerobatics this way. The
ultimate would be to go inverted and slope soar back and forth along the
cliff inverted. Haven't done any of that though.
All in all, this is a lot of fun!
WE IN THE FREESTATE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISADVANTAGED AND ARE STILL PRESENTLY DISADVANTAGED. No one can afford a slope in Bloem.
But if you drive 60km east you get to a "homeland" ThabaNchu.
2 mountains to choose from. If a north - south wind is blowing, you better get a proper 4x4 Hilux. Nice landing spot on top but it needs skills and about an hour and a halve to get from the bottom to the top.
The other one (in the vid) overlooks Botchabelo. It has a road right to the top ( very much deteriorated in the past 7 years) but the Vito felt safe going up there. It has a wonderful southern slope and a very good North western slope ( last one used) Landing however is for the brave you have a car roof, Lightning conductor or rocks and boulders to choose from as a landing spot.
Foamies, especially EPP are the only ones you would want to fly here. We did build a huge net to catch the composite and wooden models. but it takes an hour in total to rig.
We used to go there at least twice a month. Now i will get the guys "LUS" again and hopefully go there often.
Now for my first proper autoroto to do a proper landing.
Spektrum DX8 Upgrade
Spektrum DX8 Firmware update!!!
The version is 2.05. DONT UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION.
If you have a servo channel reversed, the end travel points cannot be adjusted anymore. Te servo will only travel 100% either way - no more, and no less.
They are currently busy fixing the bugs in V2.05.
100% either way,
thats just the way you like to fly, aint it ?

The 2011 NFL schedule is going to be announced today.
We still don't know whether or not there's going to be a 2011 season and exactly how much of it will be played if there is one—but the NFL is going to go ahead and release the schedule anyway.
As the saying goes, the show must go on.
While the schedule will help straighten things out, we've known each team's matchups for a while now. The NFL took care of that matter way back in January, about a month before the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.
As for who will be playing in Super Bowl XLVI, I think it's a good bet that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to be in the mix. There were moments last year when they looked like a virtual lock to make it out of the NFC, and they probably would have if Michael Vick hadn't broken down.
However, the Eagles are looking at a tough schedule in 2011. They have games against the Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons lined up, and they're also going to have to negotiate their usual NFC East matchups.
Come to think of it, the NFC East as a whole should house plenty of drama if and when the 2011 season comes around.
For the sake of talking a little football, what's say we take a look ahead?
There are a few hours before the schedule hits, so we have plenty of time to gaze into the old crystal ball. And once we have the schedule, we can discuss it at length.
If this sounds good, all you have to do is keep it here. The updates will keep coming.

Rock of Love star
"When I was dating Kristi, the mother of my two daughters [Raine, now 9 and Jorja, now 4], I flew her on a private plane into L. A., where we were doing our album. I cleared everyone out of the studio, which I had all lit up nice. I had this big Italian dinner brought in, and I got to play her some of the new music. I think that was the turning point in our relationship, where she knew I really cared. It was beautiful and real."
*As plans were being made for this photo shoot, Michaels suffered a fractured nose during his June 7 performance at the Tony Awards, so we built the injury into his soldier persona. "I feel pretty beat up," he said when he turned up on our set June 15. But Michaels, who kicks off a summer tour with Poison this month, says, "There's no lawsuit. I was honored to be there."
Reality TV star
"For Valentine's Day, I wanted to take my girlfriend on a helicopter ride down into the Grand Canyon for lunch. But there was a crazy storm. It was an incredible gesture that fell through."
"I remember writing a poem and putting a rose on my high school girlfriend's car. This was after we had graduated, and I couldn't actually tell her that I thought we could still date, so I wrote her a note, drove to her college campus and put it on her car. It didn't work, actually!"
—WILL DEMPS, 29, NFL star
My first boyfriend really loved Ibiza—he had studied abroad there, and I just happened to be in Spain. So for his birthday, I sent him a ticket to meet me in Ibiza. It was awesome. It was so fun. I'm a sucker for all that. I'm a hopeless romantic. I love surprising people. I love just flying and showing up on the doorstep when they think I'm gone and setting up flowers and a nice dinner."

President Barack Obama continues to push his health care plan as insurance exchanges scheduled to begin Tuesday.
At the same time, opponents are warning "buyers beware" of what's actually true in the president's rhetoric.
In one recent statement, Obama said a person's coverage would probably cost less than a cell phone bill.
The president is citing the cheapest plan, known as the "bronze plan." Consumers who choose it will pay as much as 40 percent of their medical bills out of pocket.
That would be significantly higher than President Obama has implied. In the bronze plan, a family's share of medical costs could go as high as $12,700 a year and over $6,000 for individuals, in addition to the premiums.
The president also famously said that those who like their health care plan won't be affected. But in fact, some companies are already cutting back coverage and shifting costs to employees to avoid penalties under the new law.
The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) member unions previously supported the law.
Now they're saying it's being implemented in a way that is "highly disruptive" to some union health plans because it drives up costs -- so much so that workers and companies have been forced to abandon them.
"Premiums are going to be different in different parts of the country, depending on how much coverage you buy," Obama said. "But 95 percent of uninsured Americans will see their premiums cost less than was expected."
When the president said, "less than was expected," he was referring to Congressional Budget Office expectations, not the regular consuming public. Adjusting to paying out-of-pocket costs, coupled with the monthly premiums, will be a stark transition for a previously uninsured demographic.

The Fixx
New label, new producer. This is a new kind of quick Fixx. It's understandable. Desperate times and all that stuff. You see, this British rock band came to American attention at about the same time as those Australian imports INXS. After initial success, they've watched the trajectory of their recording career plummet at the same rate that INXS' has soared. So now they've shaken things up, but without any real improvement. New producer Bill Wittman, who has worked with the Hooters and Pat Benatar, has a much warmer, more traditional touch than Rupert Hine, the group's longtime board-man. Most markedly in Cy Curnin's voice and Jamie West-Oram's guitar, Hine gave the Fixx an echoey, somewhat refracted and instantly recognizable sound. They seemed to be playing at the bottom of a long steel well. For much of this album, however, they're indistinguishable from any number of overwrought anthem bands, such as Alarm or Call or Simple Minds or U2. On some songs—World Weary, for one—they emulate anemic art-rock bands such as the Alan Parsons Project. There are a few pretty compositions—Precious Stone or Flow—but not nearly enough to float this barge. (RCA)

Hyundai is somewhat new to the luxury vehicle line-up, at least in comparison with long-standing luxury rivals like Audi and Mercedes-Benz. However, Auto Pacific, a leading American automotive research and consulting firm, recently named the new Hyundai Equus its winner for the 2013 Ideal Vehicle Award (IVA) in the Luxury Car category. In order to earn this title, the Equus overpowered fierce competition that included the Lexus LS, Lexus GS, Cadillac XTS, Audi A6 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
AutoPacific's 2013 Ideal Vehicle Awards (IVA) are based on how closely a vehicle matches driver expectations. 52,000 surveys are completed by the American owners of new cars and light trucks in the first six months of 2013. In these surveys, owners rate their new car or truck on how close it came to meeting their "ideal" in a variety of different categories which include everything from exterior appearance and interior space to infotainment technology and more. The vehicles that customers said they would change the least across the 15 key vehicle attributes were considered the most "ideal."
Hyundai Equus Review
Hyundai has certainly done a remarkable job in fine-tuning the new Equus to meet consumer needs and compete for a share of the luxury segment. The base model of the 2014 Equus is equipped with rear-wheel drive and a 5.0L V8 engine that produces 429 horsepower. Unlike much of its competition, the Hyundai Equus includes the latest in safety innovation with standard technology like Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) with Blind Spot Detection (BSD).
Although the Hyundai name may be new to the luxury game, the Equus has certainly asserted its position as a power player. With more standard features and innovative technology, it is no wonder the Hyundai Equus is a favorite among drivers and a winner of the Ideal Vehicle Award for 2013 in the Luxury Car segment.

text: The Mickey's Dangerous Chase wiki last edited by neimer on 02/24/13 09:52AM View full history SummaryMickey's Dangerous Chase is a side scrolling platform game released for the Game Boy in 1992. The game does not follow several of the key gameplay elements to franchises such as Super Mario Bros., as enemies cannot be defeated by jumping on them, rather the player must hit the enemy with a thrown item. Story Mickey Mouse surprises Minnie Mouse with a present. However, Pete, who usually attempts to foil Mickey's plans, successfully steals the present, causing Mickey to chase after Pete. Goofy and Minnie tag along, as Goofy usually tells the player where Pete is headed next, while Minnie offers words of encouragement. Gameplay Mickey Mouse is game's main character, with players navigating Disney's mascot through a variety of stages, meeting Goofy at the ending of each stage. Picking up square blocks scattered throughout the level, and correctly timing and aiming a throw will cause enemies to fly off the screen accompanied by a zooming sound effect. The game also does not rely on heavy use of the Disney brand, as each level is either a generic Town, Woods, or Mountain. Enemies are also generic for the most part, aside from familiar styled pit bulls and weasels. Mickey faces against adversaries that are themed with the current level, as spiders appear in a haunted mansion, and flying squirrels attack Mickey while in the Woods. In addition to the platforming levels, Mickey also uses a few vehicles to catch up to Pete, such as a motorboat and an automobile. During these stages, the screen autoscrolls, forcing Mickey to avoid certain obstacles in a limited amount of time, while also successfully navigating the level. Certain birds can also give Mickey a ride, allowing the player to hop from bird to bird in a vertical progression down a mountainside. Players begin each levels with three hearts in the health meter, allowing for multiple hits before Mickey must restart the level. White heart cards replenish health, while cards displaying the silhouette of Mickey Mouse gain the player extra lives. Each level also has four hidden orbs, and when each is found, Goofy will reward the player with extra lives. Puzzle elements are found in the Intustrial Zone stages, where blocks must be picked up in a specific order if Mickey is to successfully navigate the floor-spiked warehouse.

Q. As seniors who live in an independent living community, my husband and I are always worried about the latest scams and how to prevent them. What can you tell us?
A: You're smart to be vigilant, because it seems that there's always a new scheme brewing.
The Federal Trade Commission recently issued a warning that scammers, claiming to work for the Federal Trade Commission, are calling consumers and claiming that they have won a lottery or sweepstakes.
They just need to send money to pay for taxes and insurance. Don't do it!
The FTC never collects money directly from consumers. But the public may be fooled, because by using Internet technology, con artists can make it appear that they are calling from Washington, D.C., where the FTC is headquartered.
What's especially tricky is that the FTC's name may even be displayed on consumers' caller ID machines.
Here's how it works: Someone who claims to work for the Federal Trade Commission calls to inform you that you have won a lottery or sweepstakes. To receive the prize, all you have to do is pay the taxes and insurance.
The caller asks you to wire money or send a check for an amount between $1,000 and $10,000.
The caller might suggest that the FTC is supervising the giveaway. He or she might even use the name of a real FTC employee.
What should you do? Don't send money or account information, and immediately report the incident to the real Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
No matter how convincing the impersonation, you should never send money to claim a prize.
No FTC employee will ever call to ask you to send money. Legitimate sweepstakes companies won't either.
To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-free, 877-FTC-HELP; TTY: 866-653-4261.
The FTC enters consumer complaints into the "Consumer Sentinel Network," a secure online database and investigative tool used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

Recalled state senator cleared of refusing blood alcohol test
A month after a jury acquitted him of drunken driving, former state Sen. Randy Hopper had been cleared of a related charge -- refusing to take a breathalyzer test.
Hopper, a Fond du Lac Republican, was defeated in an August recall election by Democrat Jessica King.
In October, he was charged with first offense drunken driving, driving left of center and refusing the breath test after a motorists reported a car swerving on Highway 151 and a sheriff's deputy later found Hopper shopping at Fond du Lac grocery store.
At his trial last month, Hopper testified that politics played a role in his arrest. He said his vote to eliminate collective bargaining for most state employees was a catalyst for threats against him.
His attorney, Dennis Melowski, pointed out that the family that reported Hopper had signed recall petitions, no law enforcement officer actually saw Hopper driving, and that the state never introduced the video of Hopper successfully performing field sobriety tests.
The arresting officer noted only an odor of intoxicant, which Hopper readily admitted was a result of drinking two beers at the Packers game hours earlier.
A jury of six women found him not guilty of the drunken driving and driving left of center charges.
Normally, a separate hearing on refusal to take a preliminary breath test is held before a trial, but in Hopper's case the prosecutor agreed to rely on the trial record.
After the trial, Melowski argued that Circuit Judge Robert Hirtz should dismiss the charge because there was no probable cause for Hopper's arrest in the first place. On Wednesday, Hirtz agreed and dismissed the charge.
Melowski, of Sheboygan, had argued that there was no probable cause for Hopper's arrest, and so, therefore, he was not obligated to take the breathalyzer test.
"There is no way this Court can find, in good conscience, that the above constitutes sufficient evidence to sustain an arrest for drunk driving," Melowski wrote in a brief.
"To the contrary, this Court is well aware from presiding over countless OWI probable cause hearings over the years, what probable cause looks like in a drunk driving case. Frankly, Mr. Hopper's case doesn't even come close. This Court needs to see the probable cause issue the same way the jury so astutely saw the charges against Mr. Hopper: all hype and no substance."

Reports out of China today indicate that Ford, Mazda, and Chongqing Changan Automobile Company are planning to dissolve their three-way joint venture in the country, opting instead for separate joint ventures between Changan and Ford and Changan and Mazda.
Mazda shacked up with Ford and Changan's joint venture back in 2006 and the three produce Ford Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo, S-Max, Mazda2, Mazda3, Volvo S40, and S80 locally for the Chinese market. The breakup would offer both Ford and Mazda more freedom to plot their strategies in what is now the world's largest auto market, but the deal is reportedly awaiting approval from the Chinese government.
Though the breakup sounds bad on the surface, it will likely be a boon for everyone involved. In the current three-way tie-up, Changan holds a 50-percent stake while Ford holds 35 percent and Mazda holds just 15 percent. Sources tell Reuters that after the breakup both Ford and Mazda are likely to each form new 50-50 joint ventures with Changan, giving all three automakers more control over the joint ventures and product planning.
Reuters' report quotes several anonymous sources close to the automakers involved, and neither Ford nor Changan would comment. A spokeswoman for Mazda China, however, confirmed that the automakers are awaiting government approval of a restructuring plan, but would not elaborate.
With a much larger stake in its new joint venture, Mazda looks to be the biggest beneficiary of this plan. As noted earlier, the Chinese auto market eclipsed the United States last year as the largest in the world and looks to hold that title almost indefinitely with 15- to 20-percent annual growth predicted for the next several years at least.
Any changes to the joint venture will have no bearing on Ford's recent sale of Volvo to another Chinese automaker, Geely. It is likely, though, that the Ford-Changan joint venture will stop producing the Volvo S40 and S80 in China, if it hasn't already.

SCOTTISH firm Grampian Country Foods is facing a sales clampdown following the outbreak of bird flu in Thailand.
The European Union suspended all chicken imports from Thailand on Friday after the country revealed there had been two cases of humans catching the disease which has already ravaged bird flocks in other parts of Asia.
A spokesman for Grampian Country Foods - Scotland's biggest private company - stressed that its site in Thailand, which processes more than 800,000 birds a week, was not linked to the cases. But the plant does export to other parts of Asia and also into Europe.
"We are trying to evaluate the situation on exports at the moment," said the spokesman.
The outbreak comes just weeks after Grampian Country Foods was named as a key target firm by the Thai government in its bid to encourage more foreign investment into the country.
Grampian Country Foods moved into Thailand in December 2001 when it bought Golden Foods International, based near Bangkok. The business was renamed Grampian Foods Siam and now has annual sales of more than 70m and employs 6,000 people.

FLINT, MI -- Flint police didn't use a new curfew ordinance to issue citations during the July 4 weekend, but a spokesman for the city said the new restrictions helped make the fireworks and a carnival "a safe and enjoyable event."
Just last week, city officials announced that emergency manager Darnell Earley had amended Flint's curfew ordinance, giving Police Chief James Tolbert new authority to clear unsupervised minors from city streets in areas where special events are held.
The new ordinance was in place as Flint celebrated the Independence Day weekend with a three-day carnival and a July 3 fireworks show and required those unsupervised juveniles 16 and younger to be out of the areas where the events were held after 6 p.m.
City spokesman Jason Lorenz said Tolbert "wanted to express thanks to parents" who in many cases attended activities with their children during the weekend.
"It made for a safe and enjoyable event," Lorenz said.
Not everyone has been a fan of the new curfew for special events, even though several City Council members have said they support the change.
Michael J. Steinberg, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, said in an email statement that the new rules are "un-American."
"It's ironic that on the day we celebrate the Declaration of Independence, an unelected ruler issued a decree making thousands of Flint residents prisoners in their own homes after 6 p.m.," Steinberg's statement says. "It is un-American to punish entire groups of people based on unfair stereotypes and not individual wrongdoing."

WEZL's Evening With The Stars is even bigger this year, featuring performances from country artists Ronnie Dunn, Craig Morgan and Thompson Square on Monday, Dec. 2 at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center.
Evening With The Stars benefits the MUSC Children's Hospital and is presented, in part, by Hagemeyer North America. One of the most talked about country music events of the year, guests can expect a magical night of music from National recording artists.
Tickets are on slae now. Details on how to purchase tickets can be found at www.WEZL.com, keyword: stars. One hundred percent of the proceeds go back to the true stars, the kids of the MUSC Children's Hospital. Last year's event raised more than $170,000 for the hospital.
The exclusive evening is filled with songs and stories from the artists who made them famous. The 2013 lineup, revealed by TJ Phillips and Ric Rush today on the WEZL Morning Show, features three of the biggest artists in country music.
Ronnie Dunn, half of what may have been the biggest duo in country music, has been part of 25 number one hits, while winning two Grammy Awards and 17 Country Music Association Awards. Since Brooks and Dunn went their separate ways, Dunn has released solo music, including the hit "Bleed Red" and his current single "Kiss You There."
Craig Morgan has recorded 17 top 40 hits, including the number one smash hit, "That's What I Love About Sundays."
Thompson Square is the reigning CMA and ACM "Duo of the Year," and earlier this year topped the charts with their second number one hit "If I Didn't Have You."
Evening with the Stars promises to be a very special evening for everyone who attends, and each guest walks away with the most unique musical experience. The event is in singer song-writer format, making for an intimate setting. This marks the seventh year for WEZL's Evening with the Stars.

Proposal 4 puts unions in the middle of home care
To the Editor: As a handicapped person, I'm very concerned about Proposal 4. This constitutional amendment is being portrayed by certain "special interest groups" as something to help people, like myself, get safe reliable home care aids. If that were only true. This amendment would force everyone who works as a home care worker care into a union. Read More

WARREN - It's said that character portrayals of the merry Mrs. Claus and fairy tale teller Mother Goose are the highlight of E. Carol Maxwell's volunteer work. ''These portrayals are her true calling, to give back to the community and individuals,'' said Esther Gartland, a friend of Maxwell's for about two decades now. Maxwell has been portraying the loveable wife of Santa Claus for about 29 years at different events and locations, including Storytime with Mrs. Claus at The Upton House, at the Fairhaven School and at the Children's Rehabilitation Center, and she's been telling tales as Mother Goose for the last 10 or so years.
''People have said over the years, 'you really are Mrs. Claus,''' said Maxwell. ''I really enjoy it.''
''I do it because I love seeing the kids,'' said Maxwell, adding it's the youngster's curiosity she truly enjoys.
Article Photos
Also, she often portrays Harriet Taylor Upton, a leader in the women's suffrage movement.
Maxwell's spirit for volunteerism is older than that first time she put on the Mrs. Claus costume in 1977, for a fundraiser and toy drive at the old Applewood Gardens, where Vernon's Cafe in Niles is today. It's also larger, and includes the giving of her time over the years to organizations like the Harriet Taylor Upton Association, Martin Luther King Jr. Dream Team, Warren Junior Women's League and the JDC Foundation for the Performing Arts.
Because of her passion for selflessly giving her time and the significant impact she's made in the community, Maxwell has been named a Community Star by the Tribune Chronicle and Trumbull 100.
In its 13th year now, the program celebrates volunteers for their kindness, courage or devotion to community.
Gartland, who nominated Maxwell, is a member of the Warren Junior Women's League with her and they've served on the Trumbull County Women's History Celebration committee.
The nod to Maxwell, said Gartland, is for ''knowing her over the years and seeing how deeply she cares about so many things in her community and how she will go out of her way to help others. She is a very caring individual.''
''She doesn't do it for the recognition, she does it out of the kindness of her heart,'' said Gartland.
Maxwell's first endeavor into volunteerism was in the mid-1970s, she said, for the Trumbull County ARC, an advocacy organization created by parents of children with development disabilities. It was the first of many bike-a-thon events she's been in for the organization.
Her service expanded to several more organizations, including the Harriet Taylor Upton Association, which is dedicated to preserving history by maintaining the Warren home of Taylor Upton. It's also where Maxwell lives, in an upstairs apartment, she said, ''when I land.''
Maxwell, 66, has been a member of the Junior Women's League since about 1977 and has served as its president and as committee and fundraiser chair.
She has served as a member of the Ohio Association of County Boards of Developmental Disabilities and the Trumbull County Board of Developmental Disabilities. She has been a member of Children's Rehabilitation Center, the Trumbull County Children Services levy committee, Warren School District strategic planning committee, Women's Life Force, YWCA board and Ohio Federation of Women's Clubs.
In addition, she has been a member of Trumbull New Theatre for more than 18 years, doing various jobs, including ushering, box office duty, playbill editor, choreographer and actor. She's choreographed several shows already, including ''Guys and Dolls,'' ''A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'' and ''Fiddler on the Roof,'' and the one playing now, ''Send Me No Flowers.''
Maxwell has been on stage, too. She performed in the female version of ''The Odd Couple'' and said she had a ''bit'' part in ''A Streetcar Named Desire.''
Some of her endeavors outside the area include volunteering for the Chautauqua Dance Circle, a support organization in the greater Chautauqua, N.Y. area that offers residents there the chance to learn more about dance and meet with faculty and students at the dance facility there.
Also, she is a volunteer for the Ecumenical Community of Chautauqua, which provides housing for clergy, religious workers and lay people from all faiths.
Her portrayals of Mrs. Claus and Harriet Taylor Upton bring her different senses of satisfaction. As Mrs. Claus, she said, it's about working and interacting with children and as Harriet Taylor Upton, the awesomeness of playing such a pivotal figure in the women's suffrage movement.
It's an ''honor'' to portray the suffrage leader, said Maxwell.
''She was here and she was among the woman that helped the cause. It's important for us who came after to carry forward that work and the contribution,'' said Maxwell.
