Do You Hear What I Hear?
We're back with our very last word in sex toy reviews for 2009. This is WEEK 6 of our Holiday Gift Giving Guide; and we close out the year with a Toys for Gals feature.
This week we will hear from Review Crew members: Joy, Gina and your truly, Dr Dick.
First up is one of two Doc Johnson toys we have today.
Love Connection —— $24.33
My partner, Dixie, and I each got a Doc Johnson toy to review. Dixie posted her Wish-Bone Vibe review two weeks ago. I got the equally cute, Love Connection to review.
This sweet little multi-speed vibe is actually two vibes in one. There are two different silicone attachments that you screw on to the hard plastic base. I've used other vibes that offered attachments, but I was disappointed to discover that I couldn't count on the attachment staying in place during use. The Love Connection is different. The two attachments actually screw on to the handle, so there's no chance the thing will come off when you're using it.
But the best thing about this little wonder is that it's waterproof. There's nothing that satisfies like a vibe in the bath. There is a one touch fingertip control button on the base of the handle that allows you to cycle through the three speeds. This is not a powerhouse vibe, but you wouldn't expect it to be, being such a cute little thing. But it gets the job done.
This would make the ideal vibe for travel. It's discreet, and it's quiet. The Love Connection runs on 2 AAA batteries. Unfortunately, they are not included in the package.
Next we see about the other Doc Johnson toy
Lucid Dream No. 14 —— $21.99
My last review of the year is, sadly, a bust. Can't win them all, I guess.
Here is a classic example of how a toy looks so amazing in the package, only to have it let you down outside of the package. Lucid Dream No. 14 has an amazing shape. It has a bulbous angled head on a gooseneck body. It's a jelly material in a luscious tangerine color. And it's transparent; so you can see the sizable vibe in the head. I was confident this was going to be a brilliant G-spot vibe for sure.
Taking it out of the minimal, but stylish package produced the first concern I had. It emanated a very unpleasant chemical smell. This off-gas was really off-putting. And the smell got on my hands just from taking it out of the package. ICK!
I quickly washed the Lucid Dream and my hands with soap and water. I had immediate misgivings about using this vibe on my body, but I though I'd better press on with my review. I figured I could always slip a condom on it if I was going to have it come in contact with skin.
The next problem I encountered was battery placement. Lucid Dream calls for 2 AA-batteries, which are not included in the package. That was a bummer, but I got over it. Figuring out how the batteries fit into the battery compartment was a puzzle. Nothing I saw on the vibe itself showed the battery placement technique. There were no instructions in the package either. I swear I tried the batteries every which way and thought; maybe this was a defective toy. Then as I was opening the battery compartment to switch out the batteries one last time; the thing sprang to life.
Apparently, you have to close the battery compartment just so; any deviation from that, even tightening the cap a tiny little bit rendered the toy useless. The batteries weren't making contact with the terminals correctly.
A dial in the vibe's base activates the multi-speed vibrator in the head of Lucid Dream. This is one of those rheostat things. Not a bad concept when executed correctly. Again, unfortunately, this is not one of those times. The dial is way to lose for it to be effective. In order for this to work, there should be some resistance in the dial as one moves it up or down. This dial had no such resistance.
I have to admit, the vibe was quiet, but it also wasn't very powerful, even on the highest speed. After all the trouble I had this Lucid Dream I didn't even bother to try and pleasure myself with it. You know, life is just too short for a bad vibe.
Finally, we reprise my review of an amazing product.
The Cone —— $129.00
Dr Dick
Guess what, sex fans? I am the proud owner of my very own The Cone. And oh jeez, my life is never gonna be the same.
I am now the envy of all my friends — both the male and female variety — since the hot pink pyramid shaped package arrived on my doorstep. (Actually the hot pink pyramid shaped package arrived encased in a nondescript brown cardboard box, but you get the idea, right?)
I purposely left the shocking pink cone shaped object sitting nonchalantly on my desk for the past 10 days. Without fail it caught the eye of everyone who passed through Dr Dick's office/salon/café/crash pad. "What the hell is that?" You're kidding!" Really? "Get outta here!" "Oh My God, can I try it?" And so it went day after day.
I fond myself repeating the mantra — "It's an innovative sex toy! – It's pop art! – It's my new BFF! — It's three things in one!"
My hat is off to the developers of this unique unisex toy. You can tell right away that the folks who created this little wonder have a profound appreciation for sexual pleasure, as well as a joyful sense of playful fun. This kind of synergy can and apparently does turn the sex toy industry on its head. Bravo!
Ok, so what exactly is The Cone? Primarily, it is a hands-free battery-operated vibrator, don't cha know. And that, sex fans, allows you to be pretty gal-darn creative in how you use the bugger. In fact, its unique design practically begs you to come up with clever new use or two every time you use it. I know of what I speak! I came up with one really good one. But I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
It has a sixteen-function 3000-rpm gold brush motor. It is both powerful and quiet. (Believe me, once you have at this thing, you will be making all the noise, not it.) It has a soft high-quality pink silicone skin. Its about seven inches in diameter at the base, five inches high, and weighs just over a pound. It has two push button controls. Simply put, there is nothing discreet about it, folks! Everything about it screams: "I'm here. I'm pink. Get used to it!
The Cone requires 3 "C" batteries. Unfortunately, the first set of batteries is not included in the package. I tell you this because I don't want you to get all bummed out when you whip it out, for the first time, hoping to hop on for a ride only to discover you don't have the proper batteries on hand.
Even though this isn't an insertable device (That is, unless your hole looks like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.), you'll want to use a good personal lube to keep The Cone's silicone skin from chafing your naughty parts. Just make sure you use a non-silicone lube though, or you'll ruin the blasted thing.
Like I said, The Cone has sixteen different vibrating programs — from mild to "Whoa Nelly! I suggest you take your time and cycle through the different vibe patterns to find the ones you like best. Here's a tip: the on/off switch doubles as an 'Instant Orgasm' button, which revs the thing up to fever pitch in an instant. This is apparently for all those folks out there who are just too damned busy to cum like a normal person.
For the uninitiated, the pointy cone shape may be intimidating. But relax there's no need to worry; The Cone's peak is soft and spongy. It's sorta the consistency of a very stiff dick. You can sit on this baby, lean on it, lie on it or plop it in your lap. You can use it alone, or with a partner. Just don't be surprised if your partner tries to monopolize The Cone. If you have girl parts, The Cone is ideal for your pussy, clit and taint (perineum). If you have boy parts, The Cone is perfect for your cock, balls and taint. And everyone's asshole will sing for joy when The Cone comes knockin' at the back door.
The Cone's silicone skin is nonporous, which means bacteria cannot penetrate it. That makes it a breeze to clean. Just wipe it down with a mild soap and warm water after each use. To sterilize — remove the silicone skin from the unit and swish it in boiling water for a couple of minutes. Of course when you replace the skin, ya gotta realign it on the unit properly or you will not be able to find the operating buttons. But whatever you do, don't immerse The Cone itself in water.
Ok, so The Cone is decidedly pricey. I'll grant you that. But you know this thing is gonna last. And I'm a firm believer in buyin' quality right from the get-go. In fact, if we consumers only patronized conscientious manufacturers of quality products, like The Cone; there'd be a lot less crap in the marketplace.

Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Hey sex fans,
It's Product Review Friday; it's Week 5 of our Holiday Gift Giving Guide; and we're doin a special Toys for Boys thing today. Next Friday, our last installment of in this series, will feature some swell Toys for Gals.
This week we will hear from Review Crew members: Carlos, Ken and your truly, Dr Dick.
All guys jerk off; even (or especially) guys who say they don't jerk off, jerk off. Now that we've put that behind us we can get on with today toy selection, because it has a theme — masturbation sleeves.
First up is another product from the good folks at Vibratex and Carlos has the lowdown.
Sidekick Tease Me Sleeve —— $14.43
I love to masturbate; I've been doing it since I was 11. I love to masturbate with my wife; I like to masturbate with other men. It's about as safe a sex as you can have short of having no sex at all.
I'm pretty much a manual masturbator. I never saw the need to improve on my hands for pleasuring myself. But the thing about being a Review Crew member, we get exposed to all kinds of products we wouldn't otherwise know about. Take for instance the Sidekick Tease Me Sleeve. I would have never guessed that I could enjoy masturbating even more than I used to by using a masturbation aid, like a sleeve.
The Sidekick Tease Me Sleeve is a simple enough product. It's made of 100% Elastomer, which allows me to use any type of lube you want to. I'm partial to silicone lube, because it doesn't break down like water-based lubes do during a long masturbation sessions. And since I don't have to worry about using a condom when I'm having sex with myself, silicone-based lube works best for me.
When you see the Sidekick in its package you're actually seeing the inside of the thing. It's turned inside out in the package so you can see the dozens of nubs that will be massaging your penis when you use it. Obviously the Sidekick is easy to turn inside out, which is all-important when you want it's time to clean up, but more about that in a minute.
The hole you insert you penis in is a decent size, so you don't have to struggle inserting it. And since you'll be adjusting the pressure around your penis with your hand, it's pretty perfect. So I lubed up and slipped the Sidekick over the head of my penis. I'm uncut, so slipping it on also retracted my foreskin. Honestly, I was really surprised by the feel of the nubs on my penis, particularly the head. It was so strange to have that kind of sensation on my cock. But once I got used to the sensation, I was thinking; man, this is great.
The other end of the Sidekick is closed. That means as you stroke this up and down your penis you actually create a bit of a vacuum, which is also very nice. Besides the up and down movement you can also rotate the Sidekick around your penis. This creates a completely unique sensation, which almost tickles. I loved it!
There are two minor drawbacks, if you can call them that. Once the Sidekick is turned right-side out (the nubs are now on the inside where they belong) the outside has no texture at all. This creates a bit of a problem with lubed up hands. I found that it was sometimes difficult to get a good grip on the thing. The other issue is the size. It's only 5.5" long. Now that will fit most of us, but if your bigger than that, this might be a bit of a problem.
You can cum right in the Sidekick, because it so easy to clean. Turn it inside out again, wash in warm soapy water and let it dry. I found that once it dried; it felt a little sticky. So I just dusted it with little bit of cornstarch.
Next we have a much more elaborate sleeve from The Adult Toy Shoppe folks.
Cyberskin Pocket Pussy —— $39.99
Here's the way I look at it; if god wanted us to jack off he would have given us arms long enough to reach our meat. Oh wait, he did! What luck for us!
I generally jerk off a couple of times a day. This amazes my partner, Denise. She thinks I'm some kind of sex freak, but I don't know. I beat off much less now than I did when I was a kid. Back then, in my teens, I could and would squeeze one off five or six times a day.
Until this assignment as part of the Review Crew, I had never used a masturbation sleeve. Sure, I've seen them around, but I thought to myself; why bother? Ok, I'll admit to being more than a little curious, so I jumped at the opportunity to review the Cyberskin Pocket Pussy by Topco.
This is my first Cyberskin toy of any kind. This stuff rocks! It's amazingly soft and warm; there's a silkiness to it too. They claim that it feels like real human flesh, I wouldn't go that far, but it is truly remarkable.
The Cyberskin Pocket Pussy is designed to look like a real pussy and it's very realistic looking, let me tell you. This may be a turn-off to some, especially gay dudes. But other guys are gonna groove on this big time.
When I took it out of the package it had a greasy feel to it that kinda surprised me. I guess whatever they put on it, some kind of preservative or something, keeps it from drying out while on the store shelf. Anyhow, the Pocket Pussy once outside of its packaging is a floppy thing. And that was a bit of a problem trying to get started with it. The whole thing is a little over 8" long; the sleeve is 6" long; the pussy measures 2.5" thick by 3.5" wide.
I generally use silicone lube when I jerk off, but I couldn't use that with Cyberskin. Luckily, I had some water-based lube available.
The Pocket Pussy has a very tight "vag" opening, it's pretty stretchy, but gettin my dick in there was a problem and the floppy sleeve didn't help. However, once I got the hang of it, it was less of a bother. I confess; this feels fantastic on my cock. I can apply more pressure using my hand on the sleeve, but I didn't really need to do that. It is a mighty tight hole, and I'm not all that big.
So there I was stroking away watching some porn on the computer and thinking this is totally awesome. Although, I kept thinking the thing needs something to steady the sleeve or tunnel area while fuckin it.
Once I popped a nut in the sleeve I pulled my dick out all satisfied. But while I was admiring my new friend; I noticed that my spooge and lube was dripping out the other end on to my chair. I had forgotten that the Pocket Pussy has an opening on the end that is supposed to make cleaning it easy.
So I quick grab the open end of the sleeve and squeeze it shut so that the rest of my joy juice doesn't come out. I take it to the bathroom and start the clean up. This turned out to be a much bigger chore than I planned. Ya gotta work soap and water into the sleeve and then rinse it all out. Unfortunately, you can't really turn the sleeve inside out, which would make cleaning easier.
Now that it's clean, or as clean as I can get it; it needs to dry. I tried drying it off with a towel as the package recommends, but I got little bits of lint all over the thing. DAMN! After that, I decided to just let it air dry.
Once it was completely dry the Cyberskin felt really tacky. I looked at the instructions on the package again and it says: "Generously apply Renew to properly maintain your Cyberskin product." But what the fuck is "Renew"?
Just to round off today's theme I offer my review of another masturbation sleeve.
Dr Dick
So sex fans, I suppose ya'll all know that the Fleshlight has been around for several years now, right? Good, I figured you would've noticed. I mean a person can hardly visit a sex related site these days without seeing one of their fetching ads. I realize that I'm a Johnny-cum-lately with my review, but like my momma always used to say — "all good thing come to those who wait".
Like you, I've seen the Fleshlight around for years. And because of that I convinced myself I knew everything there was to know about the device. After all, I visited their websites loads of times. I watched their beautifully produced and very sexy mini-movies (more times than I care to say). And I even interviewed a bunch of satisfied customers. I confess, even though I never actually held a Fleshlight in my hand, I imagined I knew everything there was to know about a Fleshlight. I mean hey, it's not like I never used a masturbator before. How different could this one be?
Well, so much for baseless assumptions.
Imagine my surprise when my very own personal FleshJack Ice showed up on my doorstep. I discovered that just about everything I thought I knew about this marvel didn't even come close to the real thing. Until I had one of my own to fondle and probe…if ya catch my drift, I was clueless. It's true what they say; this is the granddaddy of male stimulators. But you really shouldn't take my word for it.
My initial piece of advice to everyone in my audience is; don't be a smug jerk like me. That's right! If you've never had your grubby paws on, or your hot little boner in, an actual Fleshlight, you pretty much don't know nuthin' about a Fleshlight. Period!
The first thing that struck me about the Fleshlight is it's way bigger and heavier than I imagined. I figured it would be the size of a regular flashlight. I was wrong. The plastic shell is a serious 10" in length. And by it's self it's fairly light. It's the totally amazing Superskin™ insert that racks up the weigh. My Fleshlight weighs in at a hefty 1 pound, eight and a half ounces. And that, sex fans, is a handful, or two, for damn sure. More about this in a minute.
The Superskin™ insert is totally amazing. It begs to be touched and caressed. It is unlike any other texture I've experienced in a sex toy. And like I said, I've had an opportunity to test drive a bunch of masturbators and stimulation sleeves in my time. The Superskin™ is kinda like a jelly, but it's so much more substantial. I know this is gonna sound trite, but it does feel flesh-like. And if you add some hot water to your Fleshlight, as I did, before you sink in your chub, well it's pretty much the most amazing feeling you can have from something that simulates a human orifice.
And ya wanna talk marketing genius? All Fleshlight customers are invited to customize their unit before they buy. And that is where the fun begins. Since most guys are pretty particular about where they stick their joystick, Fleshlight has cleverly come up with several "orifice" options: pussy, mouth, asshole or "neutral" (apparently for those who can't commit). The plastic case comes in silver, black or clear. There are optional insert colors too: pink, mocha or ice. And get this, you can even choose from among six different internal contours for the insert itself: Original, Super Tight, Ultra Tight, Speed Bump, Super Ribbed and Wonder Wave. If, with all these options, you can't design the perfect Fleshlight for you, you're just too damned fussy.
I want to draw your attention to one last feature before we take this puppy on a test drive. The plastic case, the thing that looks like a flashlight, has removable caps at both ends. The top cap covers the bulbous head of the insert and helps keeps it clean when it's not in use. The end cap can be removed for easy cleaning. (The jizz-fanatics among us will appreciate this, because when a wank session is over, you can simply dribble out your spunk for some delicious DNA play.)
Like I suggested above you can also add hot water through the end cap for a warm, squishy jack. If you do add water, don't over-fill the blasted thing. No more than three-quarter full is my suggestion. And this is best done in the shower or bath. Because, depending on the vigor of your stroke, things will get might wet, which just so happens to add to the fun. Just so you know, this was my favorite way to Fleshlight!

Simple blogging at Posterous
Published 22/12/2008
If you've ever wanted your own web site or blog but been put off by the need to learn new software, Posterous ( www.posterous.com ) might appeal to you.
It's a super-simple blogging service operated entirely by email.
To add new content, all you do is email it. You don't even have to sign up for an account - you can start right now by emailing anything you like (including photos and video clips) to firstname.lastname@example.com.
You'll get an automatic reply telling you how to use the blog you've just created.
The only downside to Posterous is that all the sites look the same, there's no opportunity for adding your own template. But the ease of use more than makes up for that.
Talking of blogs, blogger Meg Pickard would like to make sure that everyone is using the right words for the right things. On her site at meish.org she's written a short post to clear things up. The website itself is called a "blog" or "weblog". An article written for such a site is a "post" or "entry" - NOT a "blog". If you say "I'm writing a blog", people will assume you mean a web site, not a single article for that website. All clear now? Good.
Google's web-based email service Gmail keeps adding new features at a furious pace, and the latest of them is a simple to-do list. The best aspect of it is that any email message can be added as a to-do, and it appears in the list of tasks with a link to the original message. Simple keyboard controls make managing your tasks very quick and simple.

It's because somebody pointed a trigger," he says.

'You Never Quit Trying': Preventing Gun Violence In Schools By Rachel Martin • Oct 25, 2015 We could start this story as we usually do with reminding of you of all the recent school shootings — including one just Thursday night at Tennessee State University — reporting how many people were killed, what inspired the shooter. We could hear local leaders condemning the acts of violence. But this narrative is so much a part of our culture and our politics right now that we don't need to remind you how we got here. Instead, let's meet a couple of people who have dedicated much of their professional lives to preventing this kind of violence.

Welcome to all things that are WACK.
"The Wackness"—Great movie—stars Josh Peck, where he is a young dope boy in the hot streets of NY in 1994, just trying to get through hard times with no friends and a lack of confidence with girls.
Well, in the movie, Luke Shapiro and his love interest, Kristin Squires, are talking. As they talk, she explains the difference between the two as she looks at the goodness of what life brings, as he looks at the Wackness of things.
That's exactly what I will be doing here, as WWE is somewhat starting to listen to the fans. Did you see The Miz promo?
So I will be pointing The Wackness of things in the Pro Wrestling world, which will hopefully rid itself of these WACK acts.
So, shall we begin?

Edinboro women edge Charleston, earn Saturday rematch with Gannon
GLENVILLE, W.Va. -- With the drama intense, Edinboro executed throughout the second half and got a huge break in the final seconds to emerge with a 64-62 victory over Charleston on Friday to advance to the Division II Atlantic Regional semifinals at Glenville State's Jesse R. Lilly Gym.
Awaiting the second-seeded Fighting Scots (25-5) is third-seeded Gannon, (28-3), whose only three losses are against its PSAC West rival.
The Scots, who trailed by eight early in the second half, never panicked, not even when Charleston's Nichole Perry appeared to have a path to a game-tying layup in the final seconds. But Perry's shot bounced off the rim, the Scots got the rebound and then mobbed each other in jubilation.
Junior guard Val Majewski had 18 points, sophomore center Aignee Freeland had 13 points, 11 rebounds and big basket with a minute to go, and senior guard Darche' Jackson also had 13 points and an all-around strong floor game for the Scots, who had just nine turnovers.
The seventh-seeded Golden Eagles, runners-up to Glenville State in the new Mountain East Conference, bowed out at 21-9 despite 20 points by junior point guard Chyress Lockhart and five 3-pointers by junior guard Perry.
"Charleston has all the components and does a lot of good things, and I thought we had to struggle," Edinboro coach Stan Swank said. "I think it's a mark of a good team to have to overcome a struggle, and proud of our players who did that."
Edinboro lost to PSAC West rival California (Pa.) in the first round at Gannon a year ago.
"I was there, and we didn't want to finish like that, especially for our seniors," said General McLane grad Majewski, who transferred from Division I Buffalo in 2012-13.
The quick and strong Golden Eagles grabbed or ran down 15 offensive rebounds in the first half, but only made 10-of-33 shots and settled for a 27-27 tie.
Charleston, with only four offensive boards in the second half, burst out to a 37-29 lead on a pair of 3-pointers by Perry, but Edinboro remained patient, working for good shots, and tied it 41-41 on sophomore Lauren Hippo's 3-pointer.
"Our team is very intelligent, and there was a lot of time, and I knew they would respond with a good run," Swank said.
The lead exchanged hands several times, and Perry's 3-pointer tied the game at 57-57 with 2 minutes, 48 seconds to go. Majewski's baseline jumper put the Scots back in front, and after one free throw by Lockhart -- the lightning-quick Morehead State transfer attempted 182 this season -- Hippo, beset by foul trouble, drained her third triple to give Edinboro a 62-58 lead.
"Never count Lauren out. When you think she's not playing well, she knocks down a big 3," Swank said.
Lockhart drove for a basket, but Freeland responded with an inside move that led to a basket.
"I was just doing what I can to help my team, and I was being aggressive," said the 6-foot 3-inch Freeland, who had five offensive boards.
"We play for each other, and everybody steps up and plays their game," Majewski said.
Lockhart, who made just 7-of-19 shots, drained two more free throws, and when Hippo missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 19 seconds to go, the Golden Eagles had one final chance to tie. But Perry's shot wouldn't fall, and the Scots escaped.
Although Edinboro has won eight of the past nine meetings with Gannon, Swank still plays the underdog card.
"We're like Rodney Dangerfield. We can't get no respect," he said.
Two more wins, a regional championship and a berth in Erie for the Elite Eight will certainly change that.

I have been to many places to get my haircut. I have found that this place is the best place to go. Everyone is nice and friendly. Ask for Stacey she only works Saturday's but it is well worth it. I wouldn't go anyplace else. Plus you can get your nails done there too. All in one shop you can't beat that.

making rotor blades?
O.K., I have built two successful gyros ('Mo Bettah' and 'GS-1'). I tried carving my own blades (sanded them from scratch, too much work and not the same airfoil), didn't want to buy Aerobalsa ones. So I used the tablesaw and got two sets of good, usable blades - but, how do the rest of you "make blades"? Pictures, and other tips would sure help.
Hi Ron,
We all feel your pain. There's just no way to get around some degree of craftsmanship while building your own blades. Dave has posted several very good videos of his building techniques, if you haven't already viewed them they are highly reccomended.
The AB blades are priced very well when you consider the materials and time when building your own. Some guys love them, others have been less than pleased, but I'm in the Love them column. I recently fitted my Eastern Airline profile Kellett with them and I was very pleased with the performance. There is a tendancy for a bit of flutter at very high speed, but I like to float around nice and slow.
MIA says he's got some mystery tool to build blades easily, but some type of copyright or other agreement precludes him from sharing this wonderful technology.
So when someone comes up with a Fast, Easy, Efficient way to build matched blades without the high level of craftsmanship; please post it!

Hello Ron,
I am building a RPG at the moment and will be doing a step by step report on how i will tackle my blade build showing everything i use from start to finish, if your interested drop by my thread .....RPG build in Oz..... hope this is helpfull to you in some way.....regards Tim.
May be of some help.
Blades without the high level of craftsmanship
There is no mystery in making a good pair of matched blades if you take a simple block of wood and make an airfoil shape in reverse, basically concave, Clark Y airfoil, a basic helicopter aifoil shape design, add sandpaper to the block and sand away all night for a spare set of woodies. Balance statically and also dynamically and make adjustments so blades come out perfect. You may have to sand a few more just to get an even pair, this is the nature of wood, you may even have to preselect the wood and do density and weight checks, prior, to start on the right foot. This is the way many old timer heli and autogyro hobbiest have been making blades, including yours truly, before I got serious about starting a small manufacturing business, is not hard but it is a bit time comsuming...
To do it in mass quantities, I have said that I have made special tools to do so and the tool design time, testing and final tool, and this is only for one specific size, it is not cheap. Do I want to give away my manufacturing tool design, for eveyone to do it also? not any more than any product manufacturer would give away manufacturing trade secrets. Even if I was was in a position to offer the tool for sale, there is an additional $5,000.00-10,000.00 in the equipment to run the tool? I don't think many hobby enthusiasts can justify this, unless it is to run a small business operation, but then again these times people are building DIY CNC machines that run a lot more than that, just for the hobby... Unfortunately, without the need for high level craftsmanship you sometimes need high level equipment to do it efficiently quickly and precisely, on top of this you do need computer skills and a bit of know how on how you want to slice and dice the parts and how you want to make most efficient use of the expensive equipment in your shop.
But logically, it is best to simply buy a set already made and save yourself the work in doing it by hand, unless you really enjoy working with wood and feel up to it. I've seen a set of blades go for $30 that is $15 a single blade for an average size RC autogyro. Consider the time it takes to do one if you ever try to make one by hand and I can almost guarantee you, you will spend more than 1 hour on each blade and it may not even come out right. At $15 each blade, that is not a bad price considering also that you don't have to spend time sourcing and selecting the materials and adding additional work such as drilling perfect holes, finishing and covering them.

Rotor blades
Here is my simple tool...
It is not perfect but good enough to make some rotor blades.
Easy, fast and dusty.
Best regards
Thats an interesting tool you use
It takes me longer to make up the blade blanks than it does to sand them. I use a belt sander which takes me about an hour to profile a full set of blades.
They are not hard to make

Rotor blades
Jep, to make that tool take me about 15min ( White glue curing ) and half about coffee break... Heh, i am retired so time is money...
Well, i only use small blades ( 38mmx350mm) for my little gyros and i think covering the blades make them work well enough for me. Them fluttering ( full balsa...) way to much but fun to fly. You newer know what happening.
They not fly like Aerobalsas blades but you can make easily 4pcs in 15 mins from 6mmx1000mm blanks.

Well, If you like access to a beach this is for you. Everything else is substandard. They have some nice sites but, they were empty the 7 days I was here. The sites are small: some that appear you should back into, you pull forward into and need a long sewer hose to hook up. Bring your dog shoes, they have bad stickers. Sites are very, very close. Below Highway 1 traffic not bad, but a few logging truck go by using their jake brakes. WIFI OK. - valtar

Stayed 3 nights in our 30' coach over a weekend in August. The camp was packed with cars and rigs everywhere. We had a pull-thru site that was very narrow, so much so that when the trailer next to us put out their awning it was 30" from our door, and we couldn't use the fire pit for fear we'd burn down the motorhome. There were LOTS of children and LOTS of dogs, so it was pretty noisy most of the time. Nice beach though, and that was the campsite's saving grace. - sail2blue

We also stayed at the sister park, Casper. It seems a little tacky to add a pay shower for such high prices to camp for the night but that's the price to pay for facilities along the coast. Great locations for both places. Camp host was responsive when we noticed a camper not picking up after his dog.
We don't have a tow vehicle. - CaptainHuck

Overall this was a nice "older" park with a great beach. The access roads are tight with lots of overhead branches, and the restroom facilities are overloaded (too many sites without enough bathrooms) and they weren't very clean. The trash bins were overflowing.
The campsites were nice (but short) and had decent privacy between them but mine was situated at a 90 degree turnout off of a VERY narrow road.
Overall, it's a nice place but it's way overpriced for a no facility campground, this is boondocking with a flush toilet and shower (if you wanna wait for it).
I can stay in a lakefront Corps Of Engineers park with full hookups for HALF of what this costs. - ArkyDoodle

Gorgeous setting on a wild shoreline. While the front gate ranger was militant about dog rules we didn't have any problems with our beasts. The sites are spacious and private due to thick brush between sites. Sites are gravel/grass parking. This is a must do place to stay and explore if your in the area. - Fishmon

Though not a "Big Rig" rated campground, we talked to someone at headquarters who said she knew the park well and advised us that there may be a couple spots that could accommodate our 38' rig. When we called the actual campground the day we were arriving to confirm that there might be a spot or two he said "no way". Since we had a back up plan in Fort Bragg, we disconnected our tow outside the park and drove the car around. Being October, it was first come first served. We found a HUGE Site (#81) that backed to the dunes leading to the beach. Probably could even fit a larger rig than ours. Site was far from level, so it required lots of blocks but it worked out well. Park is nice - beach is beautiful. The boardwalk on the south end is a must see adventure all of it's own (no day use fee if you camp elsewhere, so visit the park even if you stay here or nearby). Weak but usable AT&T Signal. No local TV or Satellite. Nice, but biggest issue is with all CA State parks - a little pricey to have no hookups and the restricted generator hours (10 AM - 8 PM). If you wake up cold and battery is low, you have to freeze until 10 AM! We moved to a beautiful private campground in Fort Bragg after a couple nights and the net cost is about the same for full hook-ups as the State Park plus running the generator for a few hours each day. There were at least a total of 2-3 sights in campground that would fit a 38 footer. - problemchild

Lots of shrubs and trees for privacy in each site. This campground is right off hi way 1 but wasn't noisy. Very close to many beaches and recreation. The owner and staff are nice and helpful. No sewer hook ups is only thing missing. Lot spacing is very spacious with some shade. Site surface is grass featuring a fire ring and picnic table. - Emmitt123

Great place to stay! Campsites are clean, convenient area, will take large rigs, has large sites, most have a lot of privacy, clean fish cleaning area, friendly people who return every year, a store and gas station is right here, and it's close to MacKerracker State Park and Ward Avenue. A fun place to stay. - therowdster

I believe Cleone CG is probably the best private campgrounds north of Ft, Bragg. Has well-provisioned general store at the entrance of Hwy 1. Generally clean and very well-maintained. Some of the RV sites are nicely tucked away for extra privacy. Given the cavalier and dubious manner that nearby State campgrounds will be managed this coming year, Cleone's proximity to beaches north of Ft. Bragg will make it difficult to get reservations. I would book now if you are entertaining a June or July camping excursion for 2010. Since the last owner recently retired from campground management, Cleone may be re-opening in 2010 under a new business name. - Savvy Camper

A nice place to park your rig and sleep at night as close to the fishing boats as you can get!
It's a simple place, just some open ground with hookups, no landscaping, fairly tight spaces...not meant for hanging around all day.
One less obvious great thing about this park is the pier area that you get a key to. A large open wooden pier right at the entrance of the Noyo River. A great spot to cook and eat your food, fish, or boat watch. Chairs, benches and picnic tables and a gas barbecue. - Dave95694
Aug 2015 - $40.00
Park is right at the mouth of the Noyo River. This is an older area of town, don't expect to see a lot of new buildings. The park offers first-timers a 4-night stay when you pay for 3-nights. Active military gets 3-nights free. Mostly-level, dirt & gravel, back-in sites, very close together. Full hook-ups, WiFi worked great, no cable TV or reception. Private patio-pier access, with tables and chairs, right next to the river. One bathroom-shower for the campground, get a key when you check in. Owner was friendly and informative, after-hours manager is in site #2. Quiet at night. I saw one portable fire pit, but no one had a campfire. Nothing for young kids here. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance, an excellent one is Silver's at the Wharf. Very relaxing time, everyone in the park was nice. Dog Beach is about 2-blocks away. - zigzag

It is very small and spaces are tight, but it is one of the lowest price parks in the area, especially during tourist season. But, it is right on Noyo Bay in Fort Bragg. There is a dock there and they have three crab rings guests can use to try their hand at catching a crab. There are a few long-term tenants there who are very friendly.
Very close to restaurants, fishing trips, and the marina.

This is an older park. Very friendly office staff. I was told they had just taken the park back, and it appears the previous owner had no interest in improving the park. Power went off for a few minutes every morning. Owners are planning to upgrade power. This is in a GREAT location, overlooking the ocean and the river mouth. Some of the site have full hookups and some only power and water. NO dump station! They plan to put one in soon. Wifi hooked easily, but was very slow. Good cell service, right in town. I think the new owners are really going to try and fix this park up. - shadetree

This park is oceanfront with nice path leading to the ocean. Spaces are wide and park is clean. But no laundry?? (no clubhouse, no picnic table) Good location to get to Skunk Railroad and Mendocino. - Rosanne

No frills. A decent place to park while exploring the area. One nice thing about it is the close location to kayaking opportunities on the river, which is why we stayed here. - William Shaw

This park is just off Hwy 20, about two miles from junction of Hwy 20 and Hwy 101. It comes up fast if you are coming in from Willletts. If you see the firewood place on the left, you have missed it and turning around anytime soon (especially if you are towing a dingy) can be problematic! The park has mostly longer term folks, but we stayed a week to explore the area and it was fine. Office folks are efficient and helpful and the showers and laundry facility are kept clean. They have room to park your boat and a facility on which to clean your fish, but I have not figured out what to do with the fish guts! There is only power and water. (No septic unless you happen to get or request that at a long term site.) There is a place to dump as you leave. There are also sites for tents. - Selway

Good overnight stop. Manager was very helpful. Park has a beautiful view of the Pacific. We had a pull-through site that sloped quite a bit and we had difficulty leveling our rig. Needed to run it up on front blocks to get near level. There were several folks here that came regularly, and other sites did not appear to have the degree of slope ours did. - JP and P from Florida

Older, smaller park. Lots of permanent residents. Office was closed when we arrived mid-afternoon. Went to office next day to pay and was told they are no longer members of Good Sam (made reservations 5 days earlier). Also not told they charge per day for electric at site. Site was large enough marginally and small side to side. Would not stay here again due to their lack of honesty and not informing me of paying a daily rate plus electric. - AntiqFreq

Very scary place to stay. We stayed one night and were up all night with heavy traffic in the park with people screaming at each other and fighting.
Restrooms and showers were not clean. Lots very close, sunny and open. Site surface was gravel. - ldireland

The park was beautiful. We looked the park up on the internet and read the reviews. They were not very good but the pictures looked beautiful. I called the office to get some more info on why the reviews were not so good. The lady at the front explained that they were under new management and had made several changes. So we decided to go a head a stay. I am so glad we did. The park was absolutely amazing. I think it is the only park in the entire area that sits in the redwoods. The place was clean. The people were extremely polite and helpful. We loved it. The price was extremely reasonable especially since we had 9 people. It was peaceful and the perfect campground. If we ever camp up north again it will definitely be at Wildwood. While we were there we drove around and saw the other campgrounds. Nothing was anywhere near Wildwood. None of the other places had the trees and made you feel like you were camping in the woods yet we were only 5 miles to town or the beach. It really was perfect. 250% recommend this place to everyone. Oh and our trailer is 31 ft and we feet with no issue at all. - rsimkins

DON'T camp here. Most of the park is taken up by permanent, very old, poorly maintained mobile homes. This place is a slum. We had no problem with the electricity or water, but the bathrooms are a disgrace. Every toilet is broken/wobbles. The floors and sinks haven't been maintained or cleaned in a long time, BUT the bathrooms are great compared to the showers which have no doors, are leaking, and are filthy. - cactuslady

We've stayed here several times, both in a Class A motorhome and in tents. We love this place! The RV spaces are large and private separated by very tall hedges and trees. Each has a patio with picnic table and BBQ pit-campfire ring. The tent circle is separated from the RVs, down a small slope, very grassy, with tall hedges and trees. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, but on our last visit, we didn't have a grill for cooking so had to borrow one. The bathrooms and showers are up the slope and across the lawn, so they could be closer, but the tent area is beautiful without them. Handy to town, decent store on site, friendly people, but forget about using a credit card - you pay your deposit by check. We've been here four times and will be back again. - MargaretB

We spent the weekend here with a small group of 5 rigs and a few tents. All that was good about our stay was being with friends. The campground had little to offer. Basically, there are a handful of pull-throughs for week enders. The rest of the place is occupied by permanent residents in "rigs" in various states of disrepair. The website shows a picture of Belinda Point, which is gorgeous. But, it's important to know that it's a 30-minute or so walk and there is no beach access. The site also refers to this place as one of Northern California's most beautiful RV parks and campgrounds. Not true. If you want to experience one of Northern California's best, head across Highway 1 to Pomo. (After our group left, that's exactly what we did.) - RockyandBullwinkle

This campground is ok. We had a premium site which was not really worth the money, but it was away from all the hubbub of the park. This park is on the river but the walk to the river is very steep and they refer to it as the huff and puff walk. You can't see the river from the campground. The employees were very nice. It was also very dry and dusty. We won't go back, but if you want to use it as a base camp get a cheaper site and you'll be fine. - onemohawk

Rustic, old, in need of major renovation. Close to Hwy 101 and truck traffic. They are completing a new pub and awaiting liquor license. Most cabins and motel type accommodation buildings really showing age. One restroom/ bathhouse was closed. Satellite TV at most sites non existent. Verizon cell very week. Some large sites. Most sites are heavily shaded by tall redwood and oak trees, pretty level and more dirt than gravel. We were told we would have 50 amp but when we arrived they said none available. Water pressure good. Friendly staff. Quite a distance to any real shopping or grocery. Campground store does have basic supplies. Wifi $, no cable or over the air tv reception. I got 4 FM radio stations. Spent 3 nights. Won't stay here again. - venice

First, the park is very hard to find. The address does not match up to our GPS. We drove by it the first time. Poor signage. If you are going to the site it is next to confusion hill. Signage is poor and you come up on it quickly. The entrance is on a curve.The pads are gravel and not as level as it should be. The only thing really going for the park are the wonderful Redwoods that are around the park. We would most likely not stay there again. The price was not worth the location. - Bank

The West Nile virus has been discovered in more mosquitoes in the region, Pennsylvania officials said Wednesday, but thus far the season appears to be off to a mild start.
In its daily update, the state West Nile virus Control Program said mosquitoes had tested positive for the virus in two instances each in Philadelphia and Bucks Counties, and one each in Delaware and Montgomery Counties.
With the fresh numbers, a total of 64 positive samples have been verified in 25 of the state's 67 counties this year, but no human, avian, or veterinary cases have been reported, according to the Pennsylvania West Nile Control Program.

On June 3, 1992, Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan introduced the world to "the shrug."
Jordan dropped 39 points and 11 assists in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers to lead the Bulls to a 122-89 victory:
Chicago would go on to win the series in six games, which gave Jordan his second NBA championship.
Little did Jordan know, NBA stars would mimic "the shrug" for years to come.

Officials confirmed that an order to stop construction at the Savannah River Sites MOX facility is on the horizon, but has not yet been issued.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., questioned Anne Harrington, deputy administrator for defense nuclear nonproliferation for the National Nuclear Security Administration, on Tuesday about the Sites Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility.
When asked if the order to stop construction had been issued, Harrington said there hasnt been one yet.
The order to stop construction has not yet been given, but we expect it to be, Harrington said during the meeting.
Graham grilled Harrington on several other MOX issues, including how the federal government can use funds intended for construction to put the project in a cold stand-by. Harrington replied by referencing the lawsuit that the state of South Carolina filed against the Energy Department last month.
As you know, the issue of appropriate use of 2014 appropriations is currently an issue of a lawsuit and therefore, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on that matter as it currently is before the court, she said.
Graham also mentioned the penalties attached to MOX. Specifically, he asked if MOX is put in a cold stand-by, would DOE honor its commitment to process one metric ton of weapons-grade plutonium by 2016.
Harrington answered, We believe there are options. But, again, that is going to be an element of what we study.
Graham then referred to DOEs decisions as irresponsible and reckless.
I dont want to get this thing overly nasty, but I have been dealing with this thing forever. There is no viable option to MOX that would be cheaper and meet the target dates of disposition, he said.
He added, I will work with you and others to make this program more cost efficient, and I dont think thats (an) unreasonable request. But what you have decided to do is irresponsible financially, and I think its reckless in terms of trying to take material off the market that would present a proliferation threat.
The MOX facility is designed to turn weapons-grade plutonium into nuclear fuel and is part of a nonproliferation agreement with Russia to dispose of 34 metric tons of the material.
Last month, officials announced they would be placing the facility in a cold stand-by, which will freeze construction while officials search for alternative methods.
The decision is based off the cost overruns and delays attached to the project, including a DOE study that said the program will have a $30 billion life-cycle cost.

Excellent doctor!
I was a new patient to the practice. I had my annual exam and found Dr Abrams to be thorough and knowledgeable. I was given orders for further testing which I completed and then waited for over two months for the nurses to follow up with results. In the interim, I received a letter that I had missed an appointment. I did not schedule this nor did I receive a reminder. I currently have an order for lab work related to tests however I just received a certified letter discharging me from the practice. The office explained I was discharged for an unpaid missed appointment fee. I explained that I never received a bill or statement for this and that I am in the process of getting lab work. Apparently, they are not concerned about any of this since there is a missed appointment fee. I offered to pay but they have sent it to collections! I have never been treated so poorly by a medical provider. Extremely disappointed.
I usually see the nurse practitioner for my annual exam, but I had to see Dr. Abrams for a surgical consult. She is extremely thorough and addressed my needs quickly but without unneeded worry. Turned out my condition was much worse than initially thought after tests and she was quick to schedule my surgery. Her bedside manner was wonderful both the day of surgery and in the office visits before and after. She explained everything really well and answered all my questions. The only problem I ever experienced is you end up waiting in the exam room for about 10 minutes before she comes in. As far as the aesthetic services offered, they are all over the waiting and exam rooms as advertising. However, they are not pushed by Dr. Abrams and she isn't even the one who administers them, she simply has an licensed esthetician on staff.
Dr. Abrams is a wonderful caring and knowledgeable physician. She does do cosmetic procedures but does not push it. She has never even suggested any of these for me to try. She follows up with problems promptly. Her office staff is first rate; courteous, efficient and friendly.
Scheduled new patient appt. due to an issue. I was requested to arrive 15 minutes early to complete the paperwork or visit their website. I completed the forms prior to my visit. On the day of the appt. there were strong storms and an accident on I75. Therefore, I was not there 15 minutes early; I arrived exactly at my scheduled time. I stood patiently in line several minutes while they explained to an older woman they would not accept her Gov't health coverage. When I approached the window I was given a strange look, the receptionist left and came back with the office manager to tell me I needed to reschedule (it was now just 5 minutes past my scheduled time)! They insisted I was 20 minutes late as I should arrive 15 minutes early. REALLY? I just drove for an hour, in the rain, through an accident, I have a health issue! The office had more advertisements for Botox than Health conditions. Perhaps my medical condition is not as significant or profitable as a dropping forehead!
She likes to do ultrasounds when unnecessary. Consulted other doctors who could not understand why she insisted on repeated ultrasounds for a common condition. Of course, she has to pay for her machine. When questioning her, she was obstinate. She tries to sell cosmetic treatments. Very commercially oriented. She does not see patient's needs as part of treatment.
I adore Dr. Lori Abrams! She has a gentle, kind, pleasant way about her. However, more importantly she knows what she is doing. I put all my faith an trust in her, and I highly recommend her to any woman who needs her services.
Dr. Abrams is the best physician I have ever encountered. She is smart,educated,kind and direct. Dr. Abrams is the Dr. that all of us look for and hope for, and so rarely find. She leads a professional staff that follow in her excellence. Her diagnostic skills are keen and yet she will call in a consult if necessary, even when not asked for, just to make it all, even better. When i was ill, I was asked why I was staying in Florida for care. My answer is obviously in this review..because of Dr.Abrams. I am really well now!
