Why the CG of my Easystar have moved forward?
In my Easystar, if I balance it at 3inc. behind leading edge of the wing near the fuselage, my planes goes immediately nose high when I hand launch it, do a brief loop. and crash. To correct the problem, I had a lot of weight in the nose of the planes.
Presently the planes is balance when the CG is at 1.5inc, this a lot of difference than manufacturer suggest.
In my first Easystar, my CG was normally locate.
Why this time the CG moved forward
P.s. I tried yesterday my Cap (after repaired ), I added weight on the nose liked suggest by Andres, and I landed the planes easily. I did not fly it FPV. So now the planes look ok

Take a close look at the wing, tail, and motor incidence angles. It sounds like one or more of these is off.
BTW, I really like the FP videos that you have posted. I am slowing accumulating the parts that I need to give it a try.
Is there any difference in the thrust line?
It is really hard to imagine something that came out of a mold being radically different but maybe the wings were stored badly and are deformed slightly.
That's one of those things that doesn't make sense. I'd love to see the airplane and try to figure it out, but on-line diagnosis is all just wild guesses.
When you get it figured out please post what the problem was, I am very curious. I know it is nothing obvious since you have been flying RC for a long time and would probably spot things that other people might not notice.
It´s hard to say without seeing the plane flying. Could be any incidence like gwh said, but usually the motor incidence is the easier to set up wrong, and if the Hyperion motor is hotter than the E-flite, probably need a bit more incidence.
Sometimes setting up a plane correctly is a pain. What I usually do is firstly look for the correct CG comparing the nose behaviour without motor at different speeds, that´s trimming the plane at slow-medium speed and then do the well known dive test, but always without motor to avoid motor incidence influence, just in case it´s not correct.
Then compare the behaviour between motor off/WOT. For example after a dive with motor off, level the plane for a hands off level flight, and hit throttle to WOT, should remain leveled if the motor incidence is ok.
But if the incidence of the wings or tail is wrong, you can go crazy doing tests and never be able to set the cg correctly. Moreover a plane like the EZ, with an airfoil that is not symmetrical, produces different lift depending on the speed, so you will never have a completely neutral behaviour and will be even harder to know what´s wrong.
Sometimes I go crazy to set all of this up, and as Pete says, an on-line diagnosis is even harder.
Good luck
PS: glad to see the Cap now is easier to land, I´m looking forward to see another video
Ok I got it!
In fact I had two problems. The first one was the motor incidence. Normally the motor axe is parrallel to the fuse axe, but in the easystar, we can see the motor should be install with angle. Like in my first easystar, when I moved throttle up, the planes raise to the sky. It's look normal because the planes is a motorize glider, so I should use motor only to gain altitude. I prefer the motor to be parallel with the fuse, so when I apply power, it remain level. I changed the motor angle the first week and it correct the first problem.
I still had to put 2 ounce in the nose to fly it, and the new cg was 1.5 inc in front of the manufacturer cg. I tought the stabilser was wrongly install, I did not remember anything in the instruction how to install it so I glued it where I tought it goes... WRONG
I check again instruction to see if I miss something, and I saw the drawing showing the angle of the stabilser should have. The last year easystar was littly better, by luck, but this one have the stabiliser with too much incidence.
After crashing many time on the nose, and now completly ruin the stabiliser by ungluing it, it time to order Easystar 3 ( Easystar 2 life was short, but intense)
Oh well I guess Easystar2 is great for spare parts! Who knows maybe use the wing and add it to the Easystar3? Turn it into a Easystar Biplane? http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=666405
It will be my third easystar. Triplane as not been done yet

Historical Traveler Reviews Aonach Mor Guest House Edinburgh
Great Value
This is a high quality B&B located within walking distance (15 to 20 minutes) of the Royal Mile or a very short walk (less than two blocks) from the bus stop (where buses take you directly into town). The property is very well managed (new ownership in April '03, I believe) and offers a great value.
Pros: The location -- close enough to the action of old town yet far enough so that late evenings are very quiet. We typically took the bus in and walked home. The breakfasts are huge (if I recall, you got cereal, toast, OJ, tea/coffee, eggs and then your choice of up to five other things) and good. The price was outstanding. The room was incredible -- in suite, non-smoking and very large with a bay window overlooking the (very quiet) street. Very clean w/newer carpets. Nice sheets and comforters. Small convience store and pub also appeared very close. You are provided your entrance exit key to both front door as well as your room. Staff are friendly and helpful. The owners plan further enhancements, especially in the shared breakfast area.
Cons: None for me. Some may prefer to stay right in the heart downtown although I prefer the trade off (quiet, less cost, better room) and found the walk back pleasant even in a November wind. TV channels are limited but this also did not matter to me!
Excellent B&B - Aonach Mor Guest House
Recently I had the pleasure of visiting Edinburgh for a week and by sheer luck found The Aonach Mor Guest House.Well I can't say enough about our accommodation. It was very clean and the breakfasts were unbelievably wonderful! And I found the proprietors very warm and friendly. They gave us great ideas of where to visit, and what to do. They were the type of people that you felt you've known forever - I think this is what Scottish hospitality is all about.I couldn't recommend a better place to stay if you ever have the opportunity to visit Edinburgh.
A true value and a pleasant stay
Don't waste too much time looking around for a better place to stay.
The proprietors are fantastic and genuine people with a clear focus on providing just the right service and atmosphere. The rooms are great and breakfast done with a personal, home-cooking touch (potatoe scones and poached eggs!). I came back to Edinburgh during the same trip and re-booked at Aonach Mor. I'm sure I'll be back in Scotland again and I'm sure I'll be staying there once again.
Fabulous Breakfast!!!
This is the best place to stay in Edinburgh - every little detail is thought of, the owners will go out of their way to make sure your stay is as relaxing and fun packed as possible!! Highly recommended.
Great B&B in Edinburgh
My wife, 14-year-old daughter and I spent five days at Aonach Mor, a wonderful bed and breakfast in Edinburgh. The neighborhood was quaint and quiet. The inn had a lovely garden and was beautifully decorated. We had a view of King Arthur's seat from our bay window overlooking the garden. The meals were excellent, and the service was professionally rendered and unobtrusive. They also provided high-speed Internet access, including use of a fast computer. We were easy walking distance from the center of town. But the best feature of the inn was the hosts, Ross and Kathleen Birnie. They made us feel welcome, and taught us to eat haggis and black pudding.
Very peacefull,but still in city centre wow!!!!!
made to feel at home,so close to town but yet so peacefull,a hidden secret.But ill tell all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Superb Value
Excellent Value and really helpful staff - glad I found this place - makes the Edinburgh experience even better.
Great atmosphere,touch of Scotland
Best Breakfast ever, so close to town, but very peaceful, my ratings as N0.1,in Edinburgh, everything at hand, what service, wish there was more like this one.
Excellent Value!
I visit Edinburgh a lot and was very pleased to find the Aonach Mor Guest House.Excellent value and I would recommend it without hesitation.
Great Guest House in a Great City
Stayed at this small and friendly place for a week in January this year (while in Edinburgh for New Years!).I absolutely recommend Edinburgh for New Years (or any time of the year) and was so pleased to have found the Aonach Mor, which is a superb value Guest House near some spectacular scenery but still near the down-town area of the city. Friendly staff and the legendary Scottish breakfast was superb.My time in Edinburgh is the best vacation I've ever had - have already planned to go back this May, then the Festival in August! and then I'll probably be back next New Years! - will definately stay at Aonach Mor again - if they'll have me!As I say, Great Guest House in a Great City in a Great Country!

A desire to be regarded as modest by your peers can compel you to behave in a shy or humble way when interacting with others today. To your dismay, you may discover that others do not respond positively to your unassuming demeanor. You will likely connect with the people around you more easily if you allow yourself to freely discuss your blessings and aptitudes. When you draw others' attention to your many charming qualities in a casual but utterly nonboastful manner today, your acquaintances and business contacts may finally feel that they are getting to know the real you. Your openness will likely be viewed as just another aspect of an earnest conversation about your personal, spiritual, or professional lives.
Sharing our true selves with the people who populate the various spheres of our lives is often a matter of showing them what we are capable of. Many of us are taught that modesty is a virtue to be upheld at all times, so we may have difficulty being ourselves because we fear that we are showing off. We must trust that others will not be put off by our talents and skills and will instead find us more intriguing because of them. When we show copious amounts of interest in the aptitudes of our peers, the freedom with which we talk about ourselves is paralleled in the expressiveness of those with whom we speak. Your modesty will give way to honesty today when you decide that you want to let others get to know the real you.

Nice win - Go Cubs
Good win tonight. Too bad
Good win tonight. Too bad the Brewers (and Padres) kept pace. The Dodgers lost, though, always a good thing. I'd love to see the Cubs sweep STL and put the pressure on the Beernuts in a big way. Let's get into first place by the first of August!
Big Omelette to all!

OK, so now that we have
OK, so now that we have established our man-hood by not backing down to Pujols, can we get back to the sane thing and pitch around Pujols in high-leverage situations without destroying the chi of our pitchers?
Bonds went 0-6 last
Bonds went 0-6 last night.
The interesting thing is Selig is telling Giants he must play on the road so not to effect pennant races, somethings gotta give in that warped old body.
Eric Patterson is not
Eric Patterson is not somebody we should be thinking about trading. How often does a speedy middle infielder hit 17-20 HRs in his first full season in Triple-A?
For comparison, here is Chase Utley in 2002:
2002 Scranton (AAA), age 23, 464 ab, 73 r, 122 h, 39 2b, 1 3b, 17 hr, 70 rbi, 8 sb, 3 cs, 46 bb, 89 k, 263/352/461
Patterson so far this year:
2007 Iowa (AAA), age 24, 397 ab, 77 r, 120 h, 20 2b, 6 3b, 14 hr, 58 rbi, 14 sb, 5 cs, 302/364/489
Utley returned to Scranton-Wilkes Barre in 2003 and hit 323/390/517 with 18 HR and 77 RBI in 431 AB before being called up.
Two years later Utley hit 28 HR for Philly and then 32 last year.
It would take some cajones
It would take some cajones to throw strikes to Pujols in the 9th, knowing he is the go-ahead run.

Anyone hear Corey Hart talking shit?
"If they can play .800 ball the rest of the season, more power to them." -- Hart, when asked about the recent Cub's surge.
Got news for you, bud, if the Cub's play .800 ball the rest of the year, you'll be many many games back.
I just figured it up for
I just figured it up for fun, if the Cub's go .800 the rest of the year, they'll have 103 wins:
The Brewers are on pace for 91-71 record. If they cool, like many people think they will, they could be well under 90 wins.

VA Phil, I think you can
VA Phil,
I think you can sleep at night and not worry about Hendry trading E. Pat or any other major prospects. In spite of everything he, McDonough, et al are saying, no one believes the Cubs are willing to make a major deal because it will involve salary beyond 2007, more money over the rest of 2007, or both.
I personally would make a deal tomorrow for guys like Griffey, Abreu, Teixiera, Otsuka even if it meant a major prospect or two (hopefully not Patterson, Pie, or Colvin). But I agree with Steve Stone on WSCR this week - you only get close once in awhile, next year's contending team isn't promised, so you have to 'go for it' when you have this chance.
I would trade anybody right now, if I thought it would get the Cubs into the WS this year.

I'm not sure if this was tongue-in-cheek or not, but I agree, sort of. If a coach wants to wear a helmet, fine. If you don't want to, you know the risks. I feel the same way about seat belts and wrestling crocodiles.

George Altman said: you only get close once in awhile, next year's contending team isn't promised, so you have to 'go for it' when you have this chance.
I respectfully disagree, George. There really is going to be a next year, and all your twenty-somethings will get better and your thirty-somethings will get worse (if that's possible).
The Braves made the playoffs fourteen out of fifteen, right? And they're making a strong push again this year. They do it by stockpiling young talent and then trading young guys who have passed out of the "prospect" phase and have some major-league chops. That way, the Braves know what they're trading.
Don't get me wrong, I think the Cubs are doing a good Braves imitation so far this year.
That's great, VA Phil.
That's great, VA Phil. Really it is.
But you're working on the premise that the new owner won't have a problem working with the $100M payroll. I urge you to show me where Cubs fans have been assured that will happen.
For you West Coasters just
For you West Coasters just getting up - Sun Times states progress on "Z" signing:
"Team president John McDonough and general manager Jim Hendry have suggested in the last two weeks the ownership roadblock to getting a deal done with Zambrano might be on the verge of lifting.
And Hendry and Zambrano's agent, Barry Praver, are in St. Louis this week with the team. Nobody's saying whether they're ironing out updated details of a possible extension, pending Tribune Co. approving a deal, but they have a good relationship, have stayed in touch this season since a would-be deal was put on hold in April and are not in town to visit the Gateway Arch."
FWIW, I say Aug 11, vs the
FWIW, I say Aug 11, vs the Rocks.
Interesting, re: Z. I guess
Interesting, re: Z. I guess Hendry's line about not negotiating during the season doesn't hold when it's his ace. :-)
That payroll thing seems
That payroll thing seems like a made-up problem, Wes. Of course, we don't really know. But anybody with a $billion to buy the Cubs can write a few checks.
I've always thought the Z signing was a done deal, because neither Z nor his agent has made one angry or threatening sound about free agency. Anyone here know why, accounting-wise, Zell might have insisted on waiting till August to ink the deal?
There are multiple owners in
There are multiple owners in baseball who can write a few checks, but simply choose not to.
If Cuban buys the team, then
If Cuban buys the team, then sure. You know his heart is in it and he wants to win. He'll cut the check to get anybody and everybody to play for the Cubs.
But what if some other dude buys it? What is his motivation? Adding a good money-maker to his portfolio or playing winning baseball? There's nothing made-up about that.
OT: The Tribune's Cub page
OT: The Tribune's Cub page ran that story Sunday about the 1977 season. It was called "1977 a slice of heaven for Chicago."
It now says: "1977 a slice of heave for Chicago.
Obviously somebody has a sense of humor.

""If they can play .800
""If they can play .800 ball the rest of the season, more power to them." — Hart, when asked about the recent Cubs surge."
Corey is dying to get plunked. Is that quote implying that the Brewers are planning on playing .775 ball the rest of the season?
CUBSTER: Is the only
CUBSTER: Is the only treatment for tendonitis rest and ice and anti-inflams? I mean, like A-Ram, it is something he will need to play with for the rest of the season, correct?
With all of the candidates
With all of the candidates currently lining up to buy the Cubs. I have a really hard time believeing that a penny pincher will have both the highest bid, and league approval. If you are going to spend 1 Billion plus on the team/stadium/comcast package. Skimping 10-15 million dollars on payroll seems shortsighted at best. And suicidal at worst. There is no better way for an owner to squander his investment in the cubs, than to alienate his own fan base.
Carlos Rubi, it least Hart
Carlos Rubi, it least Hart isn't bashing our .355 percentage, which seems like what we usually play at in June/July.
And for all the patting on
And for all the patting on the back we gave Tribune Co. for spending the last few years. In all reality, they have underspent the teams that are in the same revenue bracket by a wide margin. If the SF Giants can spend what the cubs have in each of the last 5 years. All while both, paying the mortgage on a stadium AND being in a substantially smaller market. Then there is no reason the trib couldnt have spent 120-140 annually on payroll like Boston has?
Any new info on the Cubs MVP
Any new info on the Cubs MVP Mark DeRosa?
Funny that Hart is worried
Funny that Hart is worried about the Cubs. I am still standing by my prediction that the winner of the weekend series before the ASB will be the division winner (Cubs won 2 out of 3).
The fact that this guy hasn't been told by his teammates not to worry about what other teams are doing (at least pubically) doesn't speak well for their team confidence.
Tendinitis in his hamstring,
Tendinitis in his hamstring, according to cubs.com. I've never even heard of that injury before. Maybe the Cubs are serving too much Power Aid and it's got some undiscoverd effect of giving tendinits.
Progress report: We can
Progress report:
We can surely see the improved team now.
Here is a comparison with last year's version:
2006 CUBS record, 7/25/06:
39-60 5th place 18.0 Games out
52-46 2nd 3 gms behind
So, so far, a 27 game improvement in record.
Not too shabby!
VA Phil, I hope the Cubs
VA Phil,
I hope the Cubs become the Braves of 1990-2005 over the next 10 years.........I'm pretty sure most of us on this board do including yourself. Unfortunately, history shows we don't get this close this often (1984, 1989, 1998, 2003-04 for example). We're 2 behind the Brewers in the lost column, 1 behind in the lost column for the WC.........64 games to go.
Wes, you played pro ball.........isn't this where the GM puts his cajones on the table, we bet the ranch if we have to, and GO FOR IT!
The Real Neal: Funny that
The Real Neal:
Funny that Hart is worried about the Cubs.
When they talk about young guys and how they handle the pressure of a pennant race, this is what they mean. =)
They asked Derosa during the celebrity bowl-a-thon thing about the same thing and he said, and I'm paraphrasing, 'we just need to worry about ourselves and if we play good baseball we'll be there at the end'.
I like that philosophy a lot better than Corey Hart's.
Carlos Lee willing to be moved to third base....
hey, why not?
Wood was in the 91-94 range
Wade Miller to pitch in AA tonight, long reliever potential. Juan Mateo also being considered for long relief duties.
FWIW, an low-level minor
FWIW, an low-level minor league GM and a big league GM do not play the same roles. Not even close. I'm no expert here.
However, my personal opinion is to agree with you. Ownership changes are funny things. You never do know exactly what roster you're going to come out of it with. Personally, I wouldn't wait around for the new owner to tell me what my budget was and how we were going to attack 2008 and beyond. I'd be making a run while I was 100% sure that I would have the ponies (Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, Zambrano) in the stable. I might even think about putting a mortgage on the future for a blockbuster at the deadline.
The Real Neal: "The fact
The Real Neal: "The fact that this guy hasn't been told by his teammates not to worry about what other teams are doing (at least pubically) doesn't speak well for their team confidence."

Mets, Padres, Dodgers & Mariners leading the Dye charge at the moment. In that Daily Southtown link Hendry only mentioned that he'd like to add a bench bat. My guess here is that unless a true blockbuster unfolds for the Cubs, that'll be the only addition.
Rob's Top 3 Trade Targets:
1. Griffey Jr.
2. Tejada
3. Rowand/Hunter/yet to be named power hitting CF'er

I think somebody feels the pressure!
"I can't understand why all coaches don't wear batting helmets. They should be required for base runners as well."
I believe that base-runners are required to wear helmets. My dad told me that back when helmets came into use, they would take them off when they got on base. Now they don't.
As far as coaches wearing helmets, if they want to, let them. But in over 100 years of baseball this is probably the first time this has happened. We don't need any rules about this.
E-Man, Either that's a 13.5
Either that's a 13.5 game improvement or the Cubs are 6 games out of first.
Dusty Baylor,
Range factor and zone rating Soriano destroys Lee in. Add in his time in center and I think his FP is higher as well.
Kingman's first year in Left for the Cubs compares quite favorably with Lee circa 2007.
"In that Daily Southtown
"In that Daily Southtown link Hendry only mentioned that he'd like to add a bench bat."
I smell a smokescreen. Did anyone think the Cubs were going to get Nomar before it happened? I don't think you tell everyone you're looking to make a blockbuster trade until you actually announce it happened. Wishful thinking? Maybe.
yeah, there was a pretty big
yeah, there was a pretty big buzz about pitchers when Clement got plunked last year by a line drive. I think Transmission even wrote a piece about it that pitchers needed some sort of protection.
If they want it, that's fine, but mandating isn't really necessary. It's pretty rare albeit unfortunate occurrence.
actually thought that Nomar
actually thought that Nomar trade was being whispered for weeks. It was denied like 100 times and I distinctly remember Gammons saying the RSox would never trade Nomar which is how we all knew he would get traded somewhere but I vaguely recall Nomar to Cubs talk before the deadline. I also remember it getting squashed a bunch of times and by Hendry's own account I believe it really didn't materialize until the very last minute.
Yesterday, dave presented
Yesterday, dave presented some interesting bullet points that tended to show that the best teams don't hit the most home runs:
The top four teams in home runs last year did not make the playoffs.
Three of the top four teams the previous year did not make the playoffs.
The Cardinals, who won the World Series, were 13th in MLB in home runs last year.
So how do the Cubs stack up, home run-wise, with the 2006 Cardinals? I'll list the top seven Cardinal power hitters last year, and then I'll extrapolate the 2007 Cub numbers based on the simple formula of current number times 1.67 (since the season is 60 percent gone).
Pujols 49
Rolen 22
Duncan 22
Edmonds 19
Encarnacion 19
Spiezio 13
P. Wilson 8
Ramirez 27
Soriano 27
Lee 13
DeRosa 12
Pagan 7
Floyd 7
Jones 3
I like this team a lot, but as I say, it doesn't give me pennant fever.
From Wikipedia- "After a
From Wikipedia-
"After a difficult season in 1974 when he had 12 errors in 59 chances, the Giants not only stopped playing him at third base, they sold him to the New York Mets. Thereafter, he played only 14 games at third"
The move to third will be fun for Lee.
That was about Kingman at
That was about Kingman at third.
last 7 World Series Winners
last 7 World Series Winners and their league rank in homers since comparing AL to NL home run totals makes no sense whatsoever...
2006: Cardinals (5th in the NL)

2004: Red Sox (4th in the AL)
2003: Marlins (11th in the NL)
2002: Angels (10th in the AL)
2001: DBacks (5th in the NL)
2000: Yankees (6th in the AL)
there's a dozen different ways to be a good team and power and getting on-base are a tried and true way of scoring runs but let's not act like it's the only way.
Virginia Phil... if you are
Virginia Phil... if you are really concerned about the Cubs' offense, you should look at runs, not offense.
Cubs, 2007- 4.65 R/G (league average: 4.52) - 2.87% above league average
Cardinals, 2006 - 4.82 R/G (league average: 4.76) - 1.26% above league average
The Cubs are doing just fine offensively in comparison to the last year's Cardinals team.
I understand that home runs are helpful. But runs are more helpful, and more important.
meh... should say "act like
should say "act like it's the only way to win the World Series"
"I smell a smokescreen. Did
"I smell a smokescreen. Did anyone think the Cubs were going to get Nomar before it happened? "
Nomar to the Cubs was the worst kept secret ever. We all knew it was happening and were talking about for a while. It seemed that it may not happen due to complicated dealings, but it was no surprise.
Also, VAPHIL, are you trying to say that the Cubs can't win because they don't hit enough homers?
Man you will do anything to avoid falling in love with this team, won't you? I've told you time and time again, you need to go 100% every time and when they reach into your chest and pull out your heart and throw it on the floor and stomp on it, then for good measure kick you in the groin, you deal with it.
The Cubs have been pretty
The Cubs have been pretty lucky with 2 out hits for the last 5 weeks. That's not something I want to build the offensive philosophy around. Neither, however, is bringing in sub .300 OBP guys (cough Dye, cough). Griffey would be the best of both worlds. Oh yeah, I hear he can track a fly ball too.
I wonder what having Griffey on the roster would do to the team's market value and the chase for A-Rod.
I thought you were talking about Lee in Left not third. He did come up as a third basemen as I recall, and being that he's probably the worst left fielder in the majors, 3rd may be worth a shot. It would certainly help to justify his contract. I wouldn't mind picking up Endsburg as our right handed bench guy, either. He can't hit, but he'll make the pitcher throw strikes.

Double-hearsay trade
Double-hearsay trade rumor:
The Will Carroll column in Baseball Prospectus today reports that "Ken Rosenthal reports" that the Brewers are interested in Dye but "Dye is more likely to move to the Cubs, who can offer the reliever/prospect package that Kenny Williams has been looking for. The question the Cubs have to answer is whether they can take on salary, even if it's just the $2.5 million that Dye has left this year."
"Reliever/prospect package"? We couldn't get Kenny Williams to think about Scott Eyre, could we? Could we? Seriously, do we have a reliever not named Marmol that a team would really want?
Oh yeah, The Nomar trade.
Oh yeah,
The Nomar trade. It was rumored for 10 days, a couple of weeks, but Hendry was adamant that he wasn't trading Clement which seemed to put the kybosh on the deal. When I heard it announced - I was playing Everquest in Taiwan as I recall - I thought they were just fucking with me because they knew I was a big Cubs fan. Nomah without giving up Clement? ! ? Best..Trade...Evah!!!!
We couldn�t get Kenny
We couldn�t get Kenny Williams to think about Scott Eyre, could we?
No. The Sox are re-building. They have no use for someone like Eyre .
And yes... the Cubs have relievers that other teams want. If Marmol is not on the list, here are others that would interest teams:
Probably others, but that is a good place to start.
Besides Eyre and Ohman,
Besides Eyre and Ohman, there's not a reliever on the team I would trade for Dye at this point if we're throwing in a prospect to boot.
Right now I don't have much
Right now I don't have much useful to add about DeRosa's condition, yet...
...but the report from the locker room during the game (about 5th inning), which Santo/Hughes reported was hamstring tendonitis. That's probably not what is going on since DeRosa was able to start and tendonitis is more chronic. The hamstrings are on the back of the thigh and they originate from the pelvis, with several muscles in the group in the mid posterior thigh. Some go medial, to the inside of the knee (sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosis) and another goes lateral (biceps femoris). The tendons attach on respective medial and lateral locations just below the knee.
From the radio booth, Dr. Ronnie Santo was saying that he expected it to be more of a cramp in the hamstring muscles since they didn't see any acute injury which he would have been called a hamstring strain and didn't use the term "pulled a hammy" if I know my Santo lingo correctly.
I'd wait till tonight's pregame info before we can tell what the diagnosis/prognosis more formally is.
...by the way, I loved Jimbo's post #30 quote from the previous thread of what Santo said when Theriot was called out (but replay showed the ump blew the call) on the stolen base.
�Oh no. He was SAFE! Aw jeez. He was in there. He was safe. Aw jeez. He was in there, this shot shows it.�
better be a low-level
better be a low-level prospect and a not too special bullpen arm if that's the asking price.
NEAL: "Either that�s a
NEAL: "Either that�s a 13.5 game improvement or the Cubs are 6 games out of first."
Umm (turns red) yep...
I know diabetics can't drink
I know diabetics can't drink but I wonder if Santo and Pat play games with his glucose level just to get that buzz going.
'this shot shows it', priceless. Ronnie is like a later-day Yogi Berra only without the 'yeah, that kinds of make sense' factor.
Did anyone else see the
Did anyone else see the rumor on Bleed Cubbie Blue?
Wasn't exactly a "rumor." More like an "I know somebody who knows somebody who knows Dunn and Dunn may be close to coming to Chicago."
The other mention of Cub
The other mention of Cub news in the BP trade rumor article, Rob is a simple statement that there are only a limited number of teams interested in Griffey and that the Cubs are the only team on his approved trade list. (Despite the fact that he's a lefty, I think Griffey to Cubs is more likely than Dye, as he can play a little center and Lou will like that versatility to have both Griffey and Floyd in the lineup at the same time.)
A mention that White Sox are interested in trading Iguchi and Podsednik, that they will "listen" to offers for Thome, and that Konerko is not on the block.
Not much else truly interesting and new in the article. A side mention that there is one team that is "very interested" in Wily Mo Pena and that Ian Snell wants out of Pittsburgh.
Ron Santo question: If God
Ron Santo question:
If God said to Ron Santo, "Ron I will turn back the clock and will allow the 1974 White Sox to win the World Series or I will let the 2007 Cubs win the World Series, you choose."
What would Ronnie say. I know what I think, but I'll wait for your answers.
(for those of you who don't know, Ronnie was on the 74 White Sox)
2007 Cubs - hands down.

that Adam Dunn BCB rumor is a bit much...
First sign is that they would even tell Dunn that a deal is close to a specific place. Unless he has a NTC clause I'm unaware of they wouldn't even mention anything to him until only the paperwork would have to be finalized and they certainly wouldn't play him if a deal was that close.

dave (re relievers to trade),
I was putting Petrick and Cherry into the category of "prospect".
I agree with you, dave. My point was more directed at wondering what Kenny Williams was up to. If the Sox are selling to rebuild, so I just don't know why Kenny Williams would want a major league "reliever" for Dye. Who would build a team around Weurtz? The bullpen is the last place for a rebuilding team to work on because these guys are always available. Better to ask for one high-level prospect and one low-grade prospect than a major league reliever plus a prospect.
The only consolation is that Dye to the Brewers makes even less sense.
Yeah, reading more than one
Yeah, reading more than one blog for sources is probably not the best idea.
I think Santo would take the White Sox team. Your playing career is finite, but you can be in an organization for a long time. OK, I guess that's finite too, but you get the point.
and look, another guy
and look, another guy directly implicates Bonds and Sheffield as steroid users. But let's keep up with the it still hasn't been proven facade sportswriters.

Rob G, on Dunn,
According to the BP rumor site, Dunn is "willing to go anywhere" because he will be a free agent anyway.
Dunn seriously belongs in the American League and probably knows it. I'd think the Angels could have the inside track on signing him for that reason.
I'm almost positive I saw
I'm almost positive I saw that Dunn rumor elsewhere too - maybe earlier this season - right down to responses that they wouldn't tell Dunn "get ready for a move to Chicago." Feels like a hoax.
Not that I thought it was a
Not that I thought it was a good idea at the time, but man, if we had kept Hamilton...
Maybe the Reds feel like they owe us an outfielder because of that deal?
well unless Dunn has a NTC
well unless Dunn has a NTC clause of some sort, it don't matter where he's willing to go.
and yeah Dunn has a $13M club option for next year but it's voided if he's dealt.

Brick, I'm sure its a total hoax but I am saying that its far more sinister. Someone is posting the exact same thing years apart just to see people squirm. Pretty funny if I'm right.

If the Sox are selling to
If the Sox are selling to rebuild, so I just don't know why Kenny Williams would want a major league "reliever" for Dye. Who would build a team around Weurtz?
I would think that the major league reliever would be someone like Wuertz (or another young arm) that is still under control for a few years. You don't build a team around someone like Wuertz (or really, most bullpen arms), but you do pick up useful tools if they are available.
Kenny Williams is probably not going to be able to get a player that he can "build around" for Dye. Which is why he would be looking for role players that can contribute both now and for the next few years.
Ha - just saw your poll on
Ha - just saw your poll on BCB.
In any case, respondants seem to be skeptical at most.
I just don't see what Dye
I just don't see what Dye does for the Cubs unless you're going to play him everyday and hope we catch lightning in a bottle. Even then, it would be Cherry or Petrick at most plus a top 30-50 prospect at the most.
I'm with you, RobG, Griffey Jr. or Hunter would be at the top of my very short list if Hendry has permission to spend money. I'd be prepared to give up a lot (in prospects) for either one.
Hamilton could be done for

This is just a set-up for the bestselling Josh Hamilton book and movie deal. Hamilton was tempted by Kim Basinger over the All Star Break, but Glenn Close will soo set him straight again and even have him meet his son. Wilford Brimley will then have him pitch-hit for sure and just you'll see, The Judge will go down.

Cubs Trivia:
Who holds the record for most career extra-base hits by a member of the Cubs?
Twins have lost 3 in a row
Twins have lost 3 in a row and are getting crushed today by the Blue Jays and they play Cleveland this weekend.
I generally root for them but a few more losses and maybe Hunter and Nathan go on the block.

Darryl Strawberry?
Does Hunter have
Does Hunter have NTC?
Because I would not be surprised at all if he refused to come to the Cubs. In a radio interview earlier this year, Hunter said that he was not interested in coming to the Cubs in the off season because of how Jock Jones has been treated.

So the Nomar thing was
So the Nomar thing was rumored in 2004, but the point I (ineffectively) was trying to make was that Hendry never said that's what he was trying to do.
Sure, there were rumors floating around, but Hendry never said, "I'm trying to trade for Nomar or some other high profile player."
So, I wouldn't be surprised this year if we picked up someone more impactful than a right-handed bench bat.
I'm pretty sure Hunter has a
I'm pretty sure Hunter has a limited NTC clause I vaguely remember him having the Cubs on his list cause of the brick wall.
hmm, a dilemma
hmm, a dilemma then...
Cot's Baseball Contracts says:
limited no-trade clause allowing Hunter to block deals to Boston, Chicago Cubs, Detroit, Tampa Bay & Toronto
he also said he's not fond of the brick walls in Wrigley. That being said, 2 months and a pennant race have to be mildly appealing and I do recall at one point last year he said he'd consider the Cubs. Of course he'd be replacing JJ, that would be a bit awkward...

right before the all star break i had a dream about the Cubs playing the Giants. I went to http://www.itoldyouso.com to record this dream. While I was not 100% correct, it was very close to what actually happened.
Here is what I dreamt:
"Ted Lilly will pitch against the Giants. The Cubs will be up 4 - 0 sometime in the game. Perhaps the 6th. the Giants will score two and in that inning (after scoring 2) Barry Bonds will be on second base and another player on first with 2 outs. - 07/07/2007"

Fwiw, he can give up 1 ER in 5 innings (or more) and still be under 2. If he gives up 2 ER, he would need throw 9 IP to keep it under 2. 1 ER in 4 IP would give him an ERA of exactly 2.

Who Will Deliver the Coup de Grace to the Trinity toll road, the Corps or NTTA?
It's still dead: When the mayor urges people to buy flood insurance, we get a little worried. It means the report by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Dallas' levees is really bad—so bad that the city council ponied up $29 million to find out what's wrong.
Mayor Tom Leppert, who has been aggressive in pushing timelines for the Trinity River toll road, said the levee study will cause a 20-month delay for the road's completion date. The North Texas Tollway Authority, which is expected to build and fund most of the project, stopped design work at 30 percent and rescinded a request to grab $55 million in funding from the Texas Department of Transportation.
Sherita Coffelt, an NTTA spokesperson, says "there is no way to know" how much the delay will add to the current $1.8 billion estimate for the road. "We don't even know if there is one at this point."
But we know delays cost money. As council member Ron Natinsky wrote on his Web site during 2007's campaign to halt the road's construction between the levees: "And if we don't VOTE NO and keep the project moving forward, the delay will cost $10 million per month or $120 million per year."

Whoopsie. Looks like another $240 million just got tacked on to a project estimated 11 years ago to cost $394 million.
The corps has long been expected to serve as executioner for plans to build the road inside the levees, but the NTTA is emerging as a serious contender, especially since its board of directors delayed a $35 million traffic study for the road as part of a plan to cut its budget by $108 million. (The agency is looking at raising tolls on its existing roads, even as the amount of traffic on the roads decreases.)
The traffic study determines how much funding the NTTA will contribute to the toll road, and an unfavorable traffic report would spell doom for the road.
With the NTTA reaching over and yanking the emergency brake on this sucker, the city must be evaluating a Plan B. Right...right? Well, not according to city manager Mary Suhm.
"Why would I go off in another direction when I don't even have an answer?"
The corps says the levees aren't safe, and the NTTA looks like it's gonna bail, that's why.
When one of the two inevitably breaks ups this ménage à trois, it'll be just like a flood pushing through the levees, and all the backers of this boondoggle are gonna get wet. To which Buzz echoes the mayor's advice: It's time to buy flood insurance.

We use connected machines to perform variety of different tasks, ranging from car sensors that enable pay-as-you-drive auto insurance to remote monitoring of equipments to GPS tracking that monitors where the vehicles/containers are and how they are doing. This technology is typically called machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and provides significant value involving dozens of industries, such as lowering service costs with remote access, efficient energy utilization through real-time monitoring and creating new revenue streams by selling differentiated services.

M2M and IoT solutions are in many ways all the same; a unique problem and a unique solution. "Where is my truck at the moment? Is my office protected well tonight? How is the patient doing?" All these questions are unique for a customer but there are some common rules that every M2M/IoT solution can benefit from. The solution collects some kind of data, communicates it back to a data centre, the company performs some kind of analysis and compares the results against expected or past performance levels.
Connectivity, in this business flow, is one of the crucial components. While every M2M/IoT solution is specific, there are common needs for a trusted connectivity provider who will cope with your business requirements. But how do you recognize them? I will try to give you 5 big mistakes that will increase your M2M connectivity costs. Continue Reading »

M2M and IoT is emerging with a higher speed than expected. The ecosystem is becoming mature and the players know where to position themselves. As the ecosystem converges with Cloud and big data, businesses need to get ready to address the new wave of connected devices and the intelligence they carry. I do not believe in the story of collecting all intelligence in the center, via the data delivered by edge devices. Because the agility, durability and security of the edge devices will directly impact the results of the total intelligence.
Agility in my term defines the ability of a connected device to adapt different applications. This requires running a flexible software environment that caters for different application requirements. Continue Reading »

I should say for a Telecom operator to be successful on M2M requires some serious efforts. A dedicated M2M team (technical, support, operations, agreements, sales in the ground and a strong management etc), different KPIs and goals for the M2M unit, much more flexibility and support from the top management.
Europe is not doing fine economically and people are spending less and less on Telecom services. For Telcos to keep growing, they should invest in new areas like M2M, Cloud and Media & Entertainment Services. However, the success will not come quick and margins are not as good as we got in typical Telecom services. I see that more and more Telcos in Europe are taking serious steps in M2M and leaving the Cloud to IT providers; making M2M a bet of Telcos and Cloud for IT playes.
Teleco industry needs a new push and new units might bring that extra jump for growth. M2M is an opportunity for Telcos and for sure requires a different approach and skills. My recommendation is, select your fight and go for it. But do not expect quick wins.

What is the secret of success for Telecom operators in M2M? Selling few kb of data per device? Building deeper connections with enterprise customers? Learning how to sell a "solution"? I think all of these plus the ability to store & analyze data collected from the devices.
About 80% – 90% of the world's data is unstructured, and most businesses don't even attempt to use this data to their advantage. Imagine if you could afford to keep all the data generated by your business? Even more important, keep & analyze the most important data for you. For example, storing and analyzing terabytes of data over time might not add nearly as much value as analyzing 1 gigabyte of really important, impactful information in real time. Imagine if you had a way to analyze this data.

4G (LTE) is just super cool!
I have been using LTE for quite some while and I just love it. It is much faster than even fix line and I do not want to connect to any wi-fi just because my 4G is the best. Yes, this is how i feel about it as an end-user. I love it and I am willing to pay an amount that will not cost me an arm and a leg. But, what is that amount which Telecom operators should ask for?
As a group product manager in a multi-national Swedish telecom operator, this is what a lot of people around me are thinking about. I have made some observations and these are my conclusions for a profitable 4G (LTE) business for Telcos.
4G (LTE) Succcess Factors:
1- wide and functioning coverage
2- wide selection of 4G (LTE) handsets Continue Reading »
