Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

As a songwriter and producer, Love has worked with an impressive list of A-list artists--including Beyonce, Usher, Wiz Khalifa and Pitbull--and is currently focusing on his solo career. He released his debut EP "Discrete Luxury" last year featuring single "They Don't Know," a hit on the R&B charts, and is planning a full-length release this year.

'The Lunchbox' serves up tasty, simple relationship-drama fare
The lovingly detailed "The Lunchbox" is like that song by Bread about a man who finds a woman's diary underneath a tree "and started reading about me," only to discover she was writing about someone else.
In this case, the diary is a tiffin, a stack of round metal canisters holding meals for Indian office workers. An estimated 200,000 home-cooked and restaurant-prepared meals are delivered daily in Mumbai using an intricate network of bicycles, buses and trains. The surprisingly efficient system has been in place for more than 100 years. »Read Full Article

Spring 2014: Video
Wed, February 19, 2014
The cropped hemlines of the Sixties, a soundtrack of psychedelic pop, palm trees and pools… the Spring 2014 scene is set. Filmmaker Robert Nethery captures models Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Bette Franke and Frida Aasen in the collection's smart silhouettes, with Miami and Opossom's Blue Meanies song as the sunny backdrop. From abstract florals to classic navy and white, there's one word that comes to mind: fresh. It's all clear blue skies from here.

Splashtop Gamepad gives the opportunity to have on-screen buttons for "gaming". Furthermore gamepad uses a special compression algorithm specifically designed for Tegra3 (obviously it's a plus only if you have a Tegra 3 device). However if you use external peripherals to control the PC (mouse and keyboard with an OTG cable), the features between the two products are similar (with a plus for splashtop 2 that provides native resolutions above 720p and trackpad mode for the mouse).

Guided Tours
Betatakin tours are free! Groups leave daily during the summer season with a ranger. Summer season begins May 29, 2016 and ends September 10, 2016.
The 8:15 A.M. Betatakin Tour is a strenuous 5-mile round-trip hike and takes 3 to 5 hours using the Tsegi Point Trail. The trail head begins at 7,300 ft. elevation; loses and regains 700 feet (218 meters). Please wear sturdy shoes and bring 2 liters of water. You will need to drive to the trail head following the ranger from the Visitor Center.
The 10:00 A.M. Betatakin Tour is a very strenuous 3-mile round-trip hike and takes 3 to 4 hours. The tour begins at the Visitors Center at 7,300 ft. elevation, then by Sandal Trail, and continuing down the Aspen Trail. Elevation loss is 700 feet (218 meter) to the bottom of the canyon.
Caution: If you have hip, knee, heart, respiratory problems or recent surgery, please do not attempt any of the guided hikes.
Summer season: Hikes leave at 8:15 A.M. and 10 A.M. We observe Mountain Daylight Savings Time--the same as Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado: check your time!
Winter season: October 2016 through April 2017 All cliff dwelling tours are closed.

There is a hazard from falling rock in the Betatakin alcove. We cannot predict if, when, or where, a rock may fall. Sandstone flakes off, which is how the alcove is created. Tours are led to the opening of the alcove, this is still a good tour and view.
Keet Seel hikes requires advance reservation and obtaining a backcountry permit at the visitor center. Daily limit is 20 people for this 17-mile round-trip hike on a primitive backcountry trail; elevation loss and regain is 1000 feet. The hike will lead down steep switchback trails and uneven steps, and continue down a sandy slope and once at the bottom, there will be rocks, and expect to hike across ankle-deep stream many times
Keet Seel reservations are subject to cancellation during severe weather conditions during the summer monsoon season which last from July to September. Keet Seel is located within the Tsegi Canyon system and severe flooding does occur. Flashflooding creates quicksand which is dangerous for all hikers. It is advisable to call ahead for weather conditions so that unnecessary trips and disappointments are avoided.

In May 1918, with America embroiled in the First World War, Iowa's Gov. William Lloyd Harding dealt a blow against Germany. His Babel Proclamation - that was its title; you cannot make this stuff up - decreed: "Conversation in public places, on trains, and over the telephone should be in the English language." The proscription included church services, funerals, and pretty much everything else.
Iowa's immigrant communities that spoke Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, and French objected to this censorship of the languages of America's wartime allies. Harding, however, said speaking any foreign language was an "opportunity [for] the enemy to scatter propaganda." Conversations on street corners and over telephone party lines - Iowa telephone operators did the metadata-gathering that today's National Security Agency does - resulted in arrests. Harding was ridiculed, but Germany lost the war, so there.

My Chiron is in Gemini in the 8th house. What does that mean???
Re: Chiron in the 8th house? What it means???Mon, August 4, 2008 - 3:44 AMChiron in the Eighth House
+What a great sex therapist you can be. A more likely scenario is that you have the ability to bring out the sexual best in a romantic partner, while giving yourself the short end of the stick (no pun intended). But the 8th house rules more than sex. You could also get stuck with taking care of partnership resources because "you're so good at it," or, conversely, keep getting partners who want to "take care" of it and do you out of your fair share. Perhaps you become too dependent on money from others for support, or too much of what you earn goes to support others. You might tend to accept other people's values (your family, group or society) too readily. One other thing. The myth of Chiron can actually come alive with this placement. You could have a talent for healing or rehabilitating others, but not yourself.
!Chiron is associated with the emotional wounds we receive early on in our lives. The sign Chiron is in will dominate but the house placing will show in which area the personality is motivated and into which they will put their efforts. In the eighth house, it may indicate losses through the death of loved ones but also gains through births. Personal desires will be very important to you, to the point of 'anything goes'. You will have psychic abilities that, when trained, will be a great force for good. You could be a mystic with great insight.
From: www.cafeastrology.com/article...ses.html
Re: Chiron in the 8th house? What it means???Tue, August 5, 2008 - 7:55 AMi have chiron in the 8th house also. call me good ole' Dr. Ruth lol.

Mary Reese knows what image people conjure up in their minds when they hear the phrase Catholic school.
"The first thing they think of is a bunch of mean nuns," she said with a laugh. "That's what Catholic Schools Week is for, to change the image of a Catholic education and show people what it is really about."
Catholic Schools Week is in its 26th year as an annual celebration that highlights the benefits of a parochial education.
As the principal of St. Mary Catholic School, 2351 22nd Ave., and the woman who sat on the top of the school's roof for a half-day in December because her students met a fundraising goal, Reese knows first-hand what Catholic schools are really like.
"Catholic school is about paying attention to the learning and growth of the students not only in academics but also in their faith," she said.
Catholic Schools Week, which runs Sunday-Feb. 2, gives thanks to students, parents, teachers, parish and community for all they do to make the K-8 school in Greeley — and Catholic schools across the country — work.
This year's theme is "Catholic Schools Raise the Standards" and features open houses, a staff versus students volleyball game, special recognitions during Mass, students reciting a living rosary, thank you letter-writing campaigns to various people, and a day off from school to end the week and celebrate the teachers and staff with a morning Mass and brunch.
"One of the special things we give our students is free dress," Reese said. "You'd think we gave them the world."

Pullman Regional Hospital Chief Executive Officer, Scott Adams explained its effects on the local community Monday night to the Pullman League of Women Voters. He said the federal government is encouraging some states to experiment with alternatives to the "pay-for-service" business model that has dominated American health care for decades.
"That is probably the most significant engine of influence that's driven up health care costs in America," said Adams.
Adams said alternative options include bundled payments, or global payments. He said Whitman County is just beginning to see some of the effects of The Affordable Care Act, including the expansion of medicaid. Now that more people can get coverage under medicaid, there's a higher demand for both primary care and mental health providers.

Why do giraffes have black tongues?
A giraffes tongue (which is up to 21 inches in length) is thought to be black in colour to protect it from sunburn. Giraffes spend a large part of their day feeding in the hot African sun and it is thought that without the dark colouration, their tongues would be easily burnt!

The White Sox bullpen was the only in the majors that hadn't yet been saddled with a loss heading into Tuesday's game at Globe Life Park.
That distinction came to an ugly end at the hands of the Rangers, who scored seven eighth-inning runs on the way to a 13-11 victory over the Sox.
Ryan Rua's winning three-run homer off Sox reliever Matt Albers (1-1) capped a Rangers comeback from five runs down and served as payback for a 12-inning Sox victory won on Todd Frazier's grand slam the night before.
"It's frustrating," Albers said. "We should have won that game. When the bullpen loses a game like that it's tough....

US: Gay "conversion therapy" advocates seek injunction to halt ban in California
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
It's not bleeding freedom of speech if you're actually inflicting this ridiculous 'therapy' on someone! It could ruin their life! And has!
What the bleeding hell are they playing at?!
They're Christians; are you expecting rationality?
Mark, you've summed up what I'm feeling about this (but with less offensive language *g*)
"I See Straight People"
When a boy fails to communicate with straight bigots who don't know they're homophobes, he finds he must seek the protection of the law.
It is entirely appropriate to ban clinically unsupported 'therapies' for minors, but I would go further. I think adults should have the right to submit to 'treatments' of no proven value, or even demonstrable harm, but it must be legally obligatory to make the relevant evidence available to them before they consent to it.
I suspect that would kill off a lot of it.
No, unfortunately as they do now, they simply fabricate studies and "evidence" of their own.
Every man has a right to his own beliefs but not his own facts.
"conversion therapy" has already been"relegated to the dustbin of quackery, the problem is the predatory quacks, the homophobic churches and some homophobic parents still want to push it upon vulnerable gay kids.
The churches seem to have a Hell of a lot of money to spend on these legal challenges. I'm sure they could afford to pay tax – or give to the poor. There's a novel idea.
Hey, perhaps NARTH and Matthew Staver could bring in George Rekers or Ryan J Muehlhauser to explain to the judge how effective their respective ex-gay therapies were (with special reference to "lifting luggage" and "cupping the patient's balls to instill spiritual strength")
Just looked up what Lift My Luggage means (hiring a rent boy). Hilarious.
They just don't want their grooming centres closed down!!!
Why stop at under 18s? It's harmful and it causes tremendous psychological damage – adults should be protected from it as well. Ban it outright.
It would be a different matter if it could be proved through legitimate, controlled studies that sexual orientation can be changed. None of them can provide guarantees of course. Therefore, they have NO case.
Many of those so called 'ex-gay' ministries are scams to extract money from vulnerable people with no guarantee that the aversion therapies used actually work. It's all about praying away the gay. The day they can prove that praying away the straight is doable, then perhaps they'll have some credence. Until then, the ban should be implemented. If the American psychiatric and medical authorities don't support it, then it's good enough for everyone. Of all people, psychiatrists should know.
It's time to examine the whole idea of raising your own children the way you see fit as well. Are they not humans under the law with the right to an existence free of harrassment? This concept that no one is a person until age 18 -21 is outdated.
Trying to change how a human being is born through evil, damaging and unfounded means has nothing to do with 'privacy' matters nor Freedom of Speech.
This is the Christians, yet again, at their worst. They clearly prefer people kill themselves than accept who they are is just as natural as the next person.
Maybe they should be reminded that being Gay is how we are born, being religious and bigoted is taught, therefore Not natural.
Anti-equality C4M's Anglican Mainstream website promotes links to resource material from all the major fraudulent "gay cure" outfits.
The only thing it accomplishes, is to allow Gays to be tortured, by " ex-Gay" terrorists.
Conversion Therapy kills LGBT people.
Have these so called christains ever stopped to think that LGBT people are a gift from nature ? I am becoming so sick of these fakes that blame everything bad that happens in the world on gay people.
They use the roman empire as there reason. the reason is flawed. The Roman empire did NOT fall because of LGBT people, as homosexuality was punishable by death in the later years of the empire. The real reason for the Roman Empire falling was because of the way they treated people!! (women,LGBT people,and foreigners, were treated bad by the empire)
LGBT people bring benefit to society heres a list of things i have thought of.
The benefit to society of LGBT people is the following
– Less overpopulation
– Can adopt and take care children that have no home.
– Diversity
-And many LGBT people in history have been shown to be more diplomatic in positions of power perhaps natures peacekeepers.
– And last of all Love

My name is Louella. I'm known as The Milk Maid and I love making cheese. Years ago on a sheep farm in Italy, it dawned on me I could make cheese professionally. I could be a part of the process all the way from grass to dinner plate. Since then, I've continued to fall more in love with this art form. As a cheese teacher and author, I've been able to share this love with others.
On this website are links to cheese classes, home cheesemaking groups, and farm apprenticeships. There are also recipes from Kitchen Creamery, my book on home cheesemaking, for you to try.

The word "indigenous" has become ever present in the way that most people now tend to speak, think, and write about the nations and peoples that were living in this hemisphere when the monarchs of Western Christendom first made their invasive landfalls in the 15th and later centuries.
The world is moving forward on Indigenous Rights, yet the Supreme Court of the United States is moving backward. In 2010, the United States joined the United Nations in supporting the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which declares:
After being ignored for nearly six decades the Grindstone Indian Rancheria, located in Glenn County, California, will receive its own representative on the Stony Creek Joint Unified School District Board of Education in Elk Creek, California.
Our Creator, Wakan Tanka, endowed our Lakota people with life and liberty. As Sitting Bull said, "We are free. We choose our own path." We Lakota established the Lakota Nation, Oceti Sakowin or Seven Council Fires.
Every few decades it seems that Indian country has new concepts that it adopts that become the backbone for how we talk about ourselves. Those concepts usually seem to be about how we frame our relationships as Indian people to the dominant society, or more specifically to the federal government. They often mirror whatever the current policy regime happens to be. For the last 40 years we have spoken in terms of self-determination and sovereignty. Now "good governance" seems to be our new buzzwords.
A few weeks ago I attended a conference on that very topic at a prominent law school. It was organized by some prominent Native law scholars and academics, people highly regarded for their brilliant work in the fields of Indian law and Native American studies. Sadly, the conference was only one day long and could easily have filled two or three days with presentations. The presenter list read like a who's who of people that have written influential policy papers, law articles, and books on topics related to tribal governance.
But there was something that stood out about the topics they were talking about and the kind of work many of them are doing: the presentations seemed to have a heavy emphasis on economic development. How to best maximize economic development; good self-government for better economic development; attracting business to the reservations; these were the kinds of things being talked about under the umbrella of good Native governance. It was as though good Native governance means good economic development.
What was missing, it seemed to me, were any critical perspectives. Possible critical topics that could have been included: the problem of tribal disenrollment in gaming tribes; the environmental repercussions of resource extraction on reservation lands; the dangers of hydraulic fracking to reservation communities; income disparity in Indian communities. Here's one: how about negotiating the philosophical differences between capitalism and indigenous worldviews in economic development projects?
The very nature of capitalism is its commitment to unending economic growth (which means unending resource exploitation). It doesn't recognize limits. It is a reflection of the Western (civilized) never-ending imperative, always wanting more: more land, more growth, more money, more technology, more power. The commitment to values based on profit. This paradigm is what caused our ancestors to lose their lands and what is causing indigenous peoples in other parts of the world to lose their lands in this globalized economy. Capitalism is wrapped up in the language of civilization, disguised as the desire for a better, easier life. It is responsible for a changing climate, for increasing global poverty, human rights violations and war. It is the big trickster of our time—it is coyote in his modern day manifestation.
Capitalism as a way of life is imposed as a civilizing technique of the colonizing American government, especially during the eras of assimilation and the Indian Reorganization Act. The goals of self-government under the IRA were envisioned primarily as a business creation and management regime, tribal governments were organized as corporations. This was in response to the poverty that resulted from the miserable failure of allotment (and arguably, all the land theft and cultural disruption before that).
I expect Utah is as much a cesspool of corruption as Texas, because that happens in one party states. This is not a partisan comment directed at Republican Utah.
On March 25, the US Supreme Court heard arguments in a case brought by a for-profit corporation, Hobby Lobby, claiming it (the corporation) would be denied religious freedom if forced to offer Obamacare compliant health insurance policies that cover birth control to some 13,000 employees.
Mohawks, who are one of the six Nations of the Haudenosaunee, have traditionally not voted in Quebec or Canadian elections believing that, as Mohawks, they are neither Quebecers or Canadians, and should not interfere in other peoples politics.
In mid-March the Department of the Interior's Land Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations (Buy-Back Program) sent purchase offers to approximately 16,000 landowners with fractionated interests at the Pine Ridge Reservation.
The hate group Citizens Equal Rights Alliance (CERA), and those like it, use similar tactics to disguise their fear of brown people in positions of authority.
I suffer what may be a delusive hope that Indians want changes in how they are treated by the US government, state governments, and tribal governments. Like the African-Americans who Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The title of this column is taken from a letter sent by Christopher Columbus to Ferdinand and Isabella, explaining how he had found "many islands filled with people innumerable, and of them all I have taken possession for their highnesses, by proclamation made and with royal standard unfurled and
"I think of this Western Hemisphere, all of it, as the domain of…Western Christendom" — U.S. Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), in his speech in the House of Representatives, February 25, 2014.
I write this in response to Steven Newcomb, who took issue with the column I recently wrote titled, "Moving From Sovereignty to Autonomy." He is passionate about his opinions and intellectual projects and I respect that. I respond in the spirit of public debate that this issue requires.
Not surprisingly, Newcomb is concerned about language and the meanings behind words and concepts such as "autonomy" and "indigenous" and the ways they are deployed in international law to imply and reinforce relationships of domination. Of course his concerns are justified, and in principle I agree with him 100 percent. Where we part company, perhaps, is in our approaches to addressing those structures of domination he so aptly names. For me the question is: how do we as "indigenous" peoples negotiate our way within those very deeply entrenched and troubling structures to find workable solutions? To borrow a bureaucratic colloquialism, how do we find "work-arounds" to what sometimes appear to be insurmountable obstacles?
In a perfect world, states' governments would wake up one day and having seen the error of their ways they would renounce those oppressive structures in the interest of following an altruistic, moral imperative to do right by indigenous peoples. We can all hope and even work for that. What he is saying needs to be said. But it seems to me that in reality we could be waiting a very long time, if it were to happen at all.
Would I like to see the doctrine of discovery repudiated and the entire regime of international and federal Indian law restructured to assume new, more just meanings and models relative to indigenous peoples? Yes. Is it possible that Indian nations can be restored to their pre-colonial levels of independence? In my opinion, that's highly questionable and at this point maybe even undesirable for some nations, but it's for each nation to decide for themselves.
We live in a different world now compared to our pre-contact ancestors. It is a world far more dependent on the quality of our political relationships. Like it or not we are swimming in the river of international relations as it exists, not as we wish it to be. From my perspective we must find ways to advance self-determination through the channels that are available—as imperfect as they may be—even while we imagine better paths. We can do both.
The fact is that the world of human relations is always evolving; it has never been static. Contrary to Steve's Alice-in-Wonderland metaphor of "the illusion of moving from one state of being to another" the one thing we can count on is change. This is the core of the idea of political development.
Right now an available channel for indigenous political advancement is UNDRIP, written with the language of self-determination and autonomy. It stresses the ability of "indigenous peoples" (and I would argue indigenous governments as political bodies accountable to their respective peoples) to "freely choose their political status." Are the choices circumscribed by relationships of domination? Probably, yes. Is it possible for indigenous and state governments to come to new political arrangements with each other based on mutually agreed upon understandings of the meanings of autonomy and self-determination (and whatever else they deem necessary)? I think so.

Next, let's build the floor in this 3D world we are about to create. Trish showed you how to make the two elements that will make up our floor: the Grid Floor layer, as well as the Radar circle layer. I am going to drag in Radar first. You see it's quite a big layer, and that can make it a little bit tricky to figure out how to center it in the composition. If you are having difficulty centering a layer in the comp, just drag it down to the Timeline panel and it will automatically be centered. By default, new layers you add to comps start at Time 0. I want this Radar pre-comp to be part of a floor in the 3D world, so I need to enable the 3D layer switch for the Radar layer.
Right now the radar is facing me straight on as if it was a wall. I need to make it a floor. So I am going twirl open its transformations and play around with its Orientation, or Rotation, to get it where I want it to be. Now normally I use the Orientation parameter to pose the layer in the X, Y, and Z rotation parameters to animate the layer. We are not actually going to be animating our floor; we are going to leave it in place. So you are safe using either Orientation or Rotation to put it in this proper place. Now remember with 3D layers, R, G, B equals X, Y, Z.
So to lay this floor flat, I need to rotate it along its Red or X axis. I'll start to scrub the X parameter and lay the floor down perfectly flat. The easiest way to do that is jut to type in 90 degrees, plus or minus 90 both work fine. Since this is just a 2D composition, when you look at it edge on, it will disappear because it has no thickness, but that's okay. We want our floor to be at the bottom of the composition. To do that, you can either grab one of its arrows and drag it down, or frankly, I just go ahead and scrub position values.
Y is the height in a composition. I'll start scrubbing this until I get the floor roughly where I want it to be, right around 400 works nicely. It does not need to be a precise number, but I like to use nice round numbers so I can remember them in case I need to use those values for other layers. As I scrub the current time indicator along my composition, I see that a lot of my radar is being cropped off by the edges of my new comp. That's because it's a bit too close to me.
It's okay to push it back further in space. Well, to do that, I can just scrub its Z parameter to push it further away. Now I can see these layer outlines as I start to position it. I think somewhere around here should work well. Again, I'll scrub the current time indicator and now I see that the radar is mostly visible for my entire composition. I'll press 0 in the numeric keypad to do a quick RAM preview, it's queuing up. (video playing) Okay, that's good.
Since I might want to reuse this position for other layers I want to place on the floor, I am going to select and copy just to be safe. Otherwise, I control the layer to save myself some room inside my Timeline panel. Now that the Radar layer is in place, we can add the Grid Floor on top of it. I'll select my Grid Floor layer. And this time I am going to use the keyboard shortcut, Command+Forward slash on Mac, or Ctrl+Forward slash on windows. That, too, will add at center to the composition, starting at the beginning of the comp. Again, it starts off as a 2D layer facing us, I'll enable its 3D layer switch, turn it on there, twirl open its Transform properties, rotate either its X Rotation or X Orientation to get its lay down flat. Enter -90, just like we had for our radar floor. And now I need to lower down into the same position as the radar layer.
Don't make the beginner mistake of just saying, "Well, I'll eyeball it," because you might get close but you might be off. That's kind of hard to see what's going on here. The far better thing to do is either to remember what value you entered for the position for this radar layer, or even better: you may remembered I copied the position-- well, I'll just select this layer and paste it and now you have exactly the same position value, both in Y-- the height--and in Z, how far it's pushed back in space. Now this black grid is a bit hard to see right now against its black composition background.
If you are having difficulty visualizing it, toggle on the Transparency Grid, and now you get a better idea of what's going on. I see that my grid source is maybe a little bit close; I might want it to tail off a bit further into space. No problem, I'll just scrub it a little bit further back in the composition, maybe somewhere around, say, 400 in the Z dimension. Now since the Grid Floor and the Radar layer are supposed to stay together, if I wanted to, I cold even parent, say, the Radar to the Grid Floor. In that way, whenever I move the Grid Floor, the Radar layer will come with it.
I am going to turn off my Transparency Grid for now. And black grid does disappear, but that's not a problem.

I just received an EPO GWS P40 to build for my brother-in-law. This will be my first GWS P40 build. I've got a few questions.
This is the gear he wants to use in this plane:
TR 35-30C 1100kv Brushless Outrunner (Eq AXi 2808) 10x6 - 11x7 MAS 2 blade props
TURNIGY Sentry 40amp Speed Controller
ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 20C
To get my GWS 190 to balance I had to hog out foam so the 2200 battery sat all the way up forward. Similar with the AT6. Had to place the battery as far forward as possible. You guys that are saying this plane is balancing tail heavy, do you have the EPS or EPO versions?
I plan on mounting the ESC inside the cowling with the motor. Can I safely expect similar weights with the EPO P40 as I did with the 190? Battery forward under the cowling or aft near the cockpit? What should I expect with that listed gear as far as dealing with CoG issues in the EPO version?
i agree, i'm using a 3530 1400 kv with a 10 6 prop and a dubro spinner..i think this puts the cg a little forward of where recommended, i like that this plane smokes if i want it to..motor is from hobby city, also use 2100 tp lipo auw is 30.45 oz. belly flopper with flaperons sweet flyer..
[QUOTE=haiduk]I just received an EPO GWS P40 to build for my brother-in-law. This will be my first GWS P40 build. I've got a few questions.
This is the gear he wants to use in this plane:
TR 35-30C 1100kv Brushless Outrunner (Eq AXi 2808) 10x6 - 11x7 MAS 2 blade props
TURNIGY Sentry 40amp Speed Controller
ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 20C
hi, i'm running a set up nearly identical than the one you are suggesting, except i'm using a dubro 2 3/4 spinner, i have no cg issues with that..the extra weight from the spinner and the heavier 3530 motor are a sweet set up...my esc is in the fuse under the batt compartment as provided works fine, my esc is 32a, i use tp2100...i have not had to dig out any foam for the battery..

I've finally maidened and flew few starts with my P40. it has a dualsky 2830 spinning a 10*6, runs on 1500 3s lipo, and is barely over the minimum weight with a big plastic spinner and a big lego (duplo) pilot figure. w/o the spinner, it measures exactly as the recommended minimum weight.
it flew very nervous with the initial cg, I moved the lipo all the way forward, it looks now nose heavy, but flies very well (I can measure later). for me it seems that 200W is enough. however, I did shave most mould marks and covered underside of wing (servo lead tunnel) with ora.
I'd like to drop 2200 3s lipos in it but I think it would get way too nose heavy (and +60g). now it balances with any weight.

Few pics of my P40, paint inspired by my new kyosho Trixie and thanks to RC Dallas for the tips about the paint, he has the same paint scheme as mine.
hello, it seems like most folks always end up with a more forward cg than recommended..i think all my gws have more forward cg..they fly great..my last gws i built was a spitfire, it flew very nervous,twitchy, until i put a whole stick of clay in the front. now it flys perfectly.. i say go for it with the 2200 lipo just click in a couple of up trim on your elevator, and don't add any weight anywhere.. just play with battery placement start forward...mine weighs 30 .45 oz without landing gear, 3530 10/6 prop 2100TP smoking fast or half throttle cruising, take your pick, i'm in love with this set up

I plan on mounting his ESC in the cowling with the motor. I layered 2 coats of .5 fiberglass inside the cowling. 4 layers on the bottom half. I'll post some pics when the cowling is more completed.
Have been playing around with color schemes. I am building this plane for my brother-in-law. It's his first warbird so I want to make sure it's easy to see in the air. Orientation will be an issue.
My pops finished carving a pilot for this plane. It needs a bit of paint.
Got the pilot painted. I think I like the way he looks without the glasses. Since this is my brother-in-laws first warbird, the pilot has an type expression on his face. He's thinking "I'm screwed!"
I think the issue was with the lighting last night. I took a few more photos this afternoon outside. Tried from 4 feet and again from about 18 inches. Much better, but still not perfect.
Figure I'd post some photos of the cowling mods I did. I wanted to open up the front of the cowling to make sure there is good airflow around the motor, esc and through the battery box. Again, this is my brother-in-laws first warbard so I wanted to make sure the cowling was fairly solid too. I found some fiberglass screen to act as a grill.
Roughed up the inside surface with steel wool. I used two layers of 0.5 ounce fiberglass around the inside of the whole cowling. Then two more layers inside the chin. Let it cure out for a few days.
Gorilla glue makes a nice solid base for the screen. I spritzed the inside of the cowling with water and shook out the excess. Laid a nice small bead of Gorilla glue inside the frame area and hit that with a spritz of water to set it off. It foams up about 10 times. After curing I took my Dremel to it. I made a ring from Dollar Tree foam to fit just inside where the spinner goes and glued that in with Gorilla glue too.
The tricky part was getting the screen trimmed so it fit nicely. Thinned some Gorilla glue with water about 50/50 and brushed it on with an acid brush. Wait about 5-10 minutes until the glue starts to get tacky and carefully position the screen. Have to kind of baby sit it at this point and make sure the screen stays tight and pressed in as the glue foams up through the screen. Thin CA helps hold the screen in place as the Gorilla glue foams up. Very solid when its cured.
The cowling at this point weighs 19grams. Not too bad, it is dramatically stronger now, and breathes well.

Neoclassical Liberalism vs High Liberalism
John Rawls argues that the basic structure of society ought to be evaluated according to two principles. The first principle concerns liberty; the second concerns social justice.
In a simplified form, leaving off some details, they look like this:
- The Liberty Principle: Everyone ought to have the most extensive set of basic liberties compatible with a similar scheme for others.
- The Difference Principle: Social and economic inequalities ought to be to the greatest benefit of the least well off.
Rawls interprets the Liberty Principle a particular way. He doesn't think all liberties could count as basic. Instead, he gives us a list. The basic liberties include rights to vote and run for office (the political liberties), to exert influence over politics, rights of free speech, free association, freedom of conscience, freedom of occupation choice, rights to own personal property, rights to legal due process, and a few other civil liberties. He thinks rights of freedom of contract, freedom to own and use productive property, freedom to profit from capital, and a number of other economic liberties are not basic. They aren't protected by the first principle of justice. They don't make the list.
How does Rawls determine which liberties make the list and which don't? In short, he thinks that some liberties, but not others, are necessary to develop and sustain "the two moral powers". (The two moral powers are the capacity to form and act upon a conception of the good life and a capacity to form and act upon a sense of justice.) According to Rawls, the right to own and use productive property isn't necessary to develop these two moral powers, but the right to own personal property is.
A neoclassical liberal—especially one who has a roughly Rawlsian framework—will take issue with how Rawls makes his list. For one reason or another, the neoclassical liberal thinks that rights to own productive property, to trade goods, to make contracts, and so on, are more or less morally on par with rights of free speech, legal due process, and so on. Different neoclassical liberals could have different reasons for this belief. As this blog goes on, we'll discuss some such reasons.
So, a neoclassical liberal differs from a high liberal in part by interpreting the Liberty Principle more broadly, or by having a more demanding version of the Liberty Principle. Plain old classical liberals and libertarians do so as well. However, neoclassical liberals—like Rawls—also endorse some sort of principle of social justice, while plain old classical liberals and libertarians do not.
I haven't given you any reason to think neoclassical liberalism is true. I'm just explaining what it is in a very generic way.
If I were a high liberal, I'd demand an answer to the following question: If the neoclassical liberal thinks that all sorts of commercial and economic liberties should be protected by the Liberty Principle, doesn't that completely crowd out and trivialize any principles of social justice? You'll get an answer to that question, but not today.
One final note: I don't want to give you the impression that neoclassical liberals are all modified Rawlsians. Among the people I consider neoclassical liberals, many are, but many are not. I'm using Rawls as a foil here because his theory of justice is popular and well-known.
David Sobel
I think I see what you are saying here but let me make sure.
Neo-classical liberals are defined by their adherence to conclusions not premises but that leaves room to wonder at what level their key conclusions are held. We know they think that property rights and freedom of contract and such are not less important than other sorts of rights but we don't know if they hold this as an empirical upshot of a consequentialist story where there is no fundamental commitment to any such basic economic rights but only a commitment to, for example, promote well-being. On this consequentialist approach all claims about rights (except the right to have one's well-being promoted like everyone else) is non-basic. But at least the Consequentialist does not rank economic liberties behind other substantive liberties because she ranks them both as of no fundamental moral worth. But Rawls' counts as treating economic rights as non-basic and he privileges other substantive rights as basic. So Rawls does treat economic rights as second-class rights to other substantive rights. And this is why the consequentialist but not Rawls can count as a neo-classical liberal. The fundamental judgment is a comparative one: do you think some substantive (non-consequentialist) rights are more basic than economic rights? The consequentialist who thinks that economic rights are perhaps in a sense less basic than Rawls does nonetheless can answer this question negatively whereas Rawls must answer it positively, and so the Consequentialist but not Rawls may still count as a neo-classical liberal.
Am I getting the picture?
Jason Brennan
At least provisionally, I want to say "yes" to all of that. There are always some worries about whether thorough-going consequentialists can really be liberals at all, but assuming these worries are overcome, the distinction between the neoclassical and high liberal will be primarily about how they treat liberties. Of course, to be a bit more precise, to be a neoclassical liberal, it's not enough that you think the economic and civil liberties are of equal importance and should be interpreted equally broadly. You also need to think the liberties are of *high* moral importance (perhaps because of a consequentialist justificatory scheme). Otherwise, someone who thought all liberties are equally valueless would end up qualifying as a neoclassical liberal.
Rawls' language about what is necessary to exercise the moral powers seems pretty vague and ambiguous to me. Here's a pass at clarifying the neoclassical position in a way that doesn't make reference to Rawls' framework:
Necessary Condition. A society is fully just only if people have protected rights to make contracts, to own and use productive property, to buy and sell goods on voluntary terms, and so on.
My impression is that some liberal egalitarians would already deny this condition. But, on your view, neoclassical liberalism is committed to something else too:
Basicness. Our moral reasons for protecting the economic liberties are just as weighty as our reasons for protecting other standard liberal freedoms, like freedom of speech, liberty of conscience, freedom of association, and so on.
Is that right? While I find Necessary Condition to be pretty plausible, Basicness strikes me as harder to evaluate or defend. You might think that a neoclassical liberal could accept Necessary Condition, but remain agnostic to some extent about how important the economic liberties are compared to other liberties, like freedom of conscience.
Ian Lippert
Really liking this blog so far. Just one question from a neoclassical liberal who has yet to read Rawls, you said:
"If the neoclassical liberal thinks that all sorts of commercial and economic liberties should be protected by the Liberty Principle, doesn't that completely crowd out and trivialize any principles of social justice?"
Could you just explain how protecting the liberty principle trivializes the difference principle? I guess I'm a little confused on exactly which conditions would allow an increase in inequality. So for example is the factory owner allowed an unequal amount of capital if he is able to produce jobs for those without capital? Wouldn't this suggest there are examples where it not only does adherence to the first principle not crowd out the second principle but that adherence to the first principle increases our opportunities to excercisemthe second principle.
David Sobel
Good, glad I am tracking. I guess I wonder then if we should not distinguish between something like "outcome" neo-classical liberals and "principled" neo-classical liberals. The consequentialist has hopes of being an outcome neo but not of being a principled one. That is, the consequentialist might get the answer that in fact we should be treated as if we had broad economic rights as this will yield the most utility. They get what is by the neo's lights the right outcome but they do not seem to have hopes of being a principled neo as their principles only contingently favor economic rights. I take you to have shown that there is a serious sense in which Rawls is not a principled neo, but not that he is not, given our circumstances, an outcome neo. It can feel as tho you have in mind the outcome version when you allow that consequentialists can be neos but the principled version when you say that Rawls cannot.
Consistent with the difference principle, Rawls could not list economic freedoms as fully on par with the so-called basic freedoms.
With basic freedoms, there is no way to tweak at them in a way that advances the goals of justice. Rawls would reject a scheme that curtailed basic freedoms, for example by limiting some people's participation in political life, even if society reached a better distribution of primary social goods as a result.
Rawls would claim that with economic freedoms that this is not the case. A more just society is attained when you allow fair equality of opportunity, which is both a social constraint and an individual constraint on unlimited (unreciprocally checked?) freedom to contract.
The argument brings to mind Alan Greenspan's statement that he did not see "any need for a law against fraud." This belief to me goes to the heart of libertarianism's lack of a social justice principle. Qualifying the "unreciprocally checked" freedom to contract with an assumption that the contract must be non-fraudulent, that both parties act with equal knowledge and with equal right to redress, would rectify innumerable social injustices, and could place economic liberty side by side with the basic liberties.
Bogdan Enache
I have two questions :
1. Do you believe the principle of liberty is fully consistent with the difference principle in Rawls?
2. Do you have a non-Rawlsian foundational theory of social justice consistent with individualism, as understood by classical liberalism?
How relevant is neo-classical theory and Rawsls theory to social work?What contributions have these theories contributed to social theory?

The Amarillo avalanche of snow this past week had me perusing the National Weather Service records for Amarillo.
There in black and white (actually red and white) on the NWS website — snowfall totals for July.
That's right.
Snow in Amarillo.
In July.
After taking a third and fourth look, the numbers were still there — like a unicorn being chased by Bigfoot and falling into McDonald Lake and then escaping the clutches of the Loch Ness Monster with the aid of a friendly mermaid.
In other words, I called bull ... or a word to that effect.
According to the NWS, Amarillo had a "trace" of snow on the following days in July: July 1, 1951; July 12, 1994; July 16, 2009; July 17, 1950; July 19, 1950; July 22, 1955; July 24, 1995; July 28, 2009; July 29, 2009; July 30, 1996, and July 31, 1999.
Not believing what I was seeing (and after getting into a disagreement with veteran scribe/AGN Media Senior Investigative Reporter Jim McBride over whether it is possible for it to snow in Amarillo in July), I called the local National Weather Service office.
As it turns out, there is a rather simple explanation. While "precipitation" is broken down into two categories on the NWS website — rain and snow — snow can include hail and/or sleet.
"If hail or sleet falls on a (certain) day, it also gets recorded as a trace of snow, basically snow or any frozen precipitation of any kind," said Nicholas Fenner, who had the misfortune of picking up the phone when I called with my ridiculous question about how it can snow in July in Amarillo. "Those days in the summer will always be a day that had hail.
"It can be confusing."
I'm proof of that.
By the way, Fenner is a New Orleans native who got his first taste of an Amarillo white-out storm this past week.
"No, I've not seen this before," said Fenner.
Speaking of not seeing anything before, it was good to know I didn't miss any of those July snowstorms in Amarillo.
My only regret — not making a bet with my good friend McBride.
A pat on the back
To Amarillo City Commissioner Brian Eades: The commissioner/doctor, whose day job is the practice of obstetrics and gynecology, was quick to recognize the good work by the city related to the recent snowstorm during Wednesday's city commission work session. The good doctor (with tongue firmly in cheek) also asked City Manager Jarrett Atkinson if city employees could aid him in about nine months, since Eades is figuring an increase in his business related to the snowstorm — and residents, shall we say, finding indoor activities to keep them entertained.
A kick in the pants
To daytime television: I decided to work from home Monday, and then made the mistake of turning on the television. Daytime television is more of a cultural cesspool than I imagined, at least as far as the major networks go. I think I would have been better off stuck in a snowbank. Thank goodness for reruns and cable news networks or I might have resorted to throwing myself in front of a moving vehicle, if I could have found a vehicle that was moving.
