The Memorial Cup is coming to the so-called centre of the hockey universe and all indications are this event is in some trouble.
Staff from both the Ottawa Senators and the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors — two teams owned by Eugene Melnyk — have been desperately working the phones of late trying to offer up discounted and single-game tickets, for the Canadian junior hockey championship.
This isn't usually how it works with the Memorial Cup in most junior hockey markets. It's normally a slam-dunk sellout, package-deal kind of event. Just not here in the supposed centre of the hockey universe, which isn't really the centre of much of anything besides Leafs Nation.
This is Maple Leafs country and the tough sell the Majors are having is indication once again that the Greater Toronto Area is a terrific NHL market, but just an average hockey town for everything else.
The two junior teams closest to downtown don't draw particularly well. The AHL Marlies play to more open seats than those sold. The Majors, who have been the best team in junior hockey all year long under coach Dave Cameron, are pretty much treated like an afterthought. Which is wrong.
The Memorial Cup is a terrific event — even if it's been overpriced this year by Melnyk and friends. It was Sidney Crosby and Mario Lemieux's last step before the NHL. It deserves sellouts. It deserves attention. Hopefully, between now and the start of the tournament on May 20, people start buying in.
This much is certain now: Boston way overpaid for Tomas Kaberle, who has been almost no factor for the Bruins, and Philadelphia overpaid for Kris Versteeg, who did little for the Flyers. The Leafs didn't win much this season, except for a couple of trades ... Jose Bautista, player of the month for April, has been player of the month for three of the American League's past four months ... For all the props Alex Anthopoulos gets — and how can you not love the guy? — last time I checked, the Jays still had more losses than wins ... A list of things that aren't what they used to be: The no-hitter. The Kentucky Derby. Derek Jeter. My memory ... Brian Burke is looking for a big time centre. So are the Montreal Canadiens and about half the teams in the NHL ... It took only a year or so for him to find himself, but Adam Lind is back being Adam Lind again ... Can't figure out what hurt the Philadelphia Flyers the most: Lousy goaltending, Chris Pronger being out, or Mike Richards doing next to nothing ... Can't remember a playoff year when the first round was so brilliant, the second round almost devoid of drama ... There's a long list of goaltenders who have won back-to-back Stanley Cups, but none who won back-to-back as the starter on two different teams: Antti Niemi has a chance to do that.
There is no update on Bryan Colangelo's status with the Raptors. "Nothing new on me," he wrote in a text message. Still without a contract beyond this season. Ridiculous for him and the team ... The biggest day for the Raptors: May 17. The draft lottery. First pick would be nice ... Actively looking for a head coaching job: Craig MacTavish. In the NHL or somewhere else ... So here's the great contradiction of our legal system: Former Leafs captain Rob Ramage gets sentenced to four years in prison for his conviction of impaired driving causing death, one of the stiffest sentences ever. He wound up serving only 10 months. And you wonder: What's the point of the stiff sentence if it is essentially meaningless? ... Hasim Rahman's favourite UFC fighter: Mark Hominick ...The best fund-raising idea of all time, the Baycrest Pro-Am hockey tournament, where pickup players combine with former NHL players, concluded in Toronto on Saturday. And it's now a franchise. It's being run this year in Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton and in the future in Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa ... My tweet of the day goes to Raptors' Reggie Evans, again, who talked about the upcoming NBA lockout: "If there be a NBA lockout," wrote Evans, "I am going to play my Nintendo."
First a confession: I've coached 11 seasons of house league hockey and six years of select around Toronto. I admit that before I applaud the Ontario Hockey Federation for its decision to ban bodychecking in house league hockey and select, which is house league all-star. From my experience, the older the players get, the more they buy in that violence is a part of the game. The elimination of that should be welcome at the recreational levels of hockey ... Still amazed to hear Americans talk about Roy Halladay, like he's some new-found treasure. Hardly anyone references all his great years with the Blue Jays ... Has anybody noticed that Blue Jay for a moment, Brett Wallace, one of the three pieces of the Halladay trade, is hitting .353 for the Houston Astros. The guy he was traded for, Anthony Gose, is hitting .238 in double-A ... Can we please put an end to these hockey and basketball crowds all dressed up in one colour? I think seeing the Nashville crowd in that awful yellow colour was my breaking point ... And on the same subject, can we do the same with the cell-phone talking, camera-waving fans who sit behind home plate at the Rogers Centre? Yes, we know you're there. Now stop waving ... Drafted Saturday in the first round of the OHL draft by the Erie Otters: Stephan Harper. It was a majority decision by the Otters scouting staff. "Second majority for Harper in a week," said GM Sherry Bassin. ... Reality violence sells: The UFC did $11 million US in live audience in Toronto last Saturday. The WWE watched revenue drop from $24.7 million to $8.6 million from first quarter last year to the first quarter this year.
The D in Detroit
The end will come when Nicklas Lidstrom chooses to finally say goodbye. The end of this remarkable run by the Detroit Red Wings. Everything is tied to him, a player who can't possibly be replaced. Lidstrom has played 18 NHL seasons: It is no coincidence the Red Wings have had 15 100-point years in that time, two 90-plus seasons, and never once has he missed the playoffs. The previous Red Wings 100-point season came 18 years before he was born. The constant steady and intelligent presence of Lidstrom on the Wings defence — he has never missed more than six games in any season — cannot possibly be replaced upon his departure. At that point, the Red Wings will become just another team. What we don't know yet is when that day will come.
The Peja Factor
It has to rankle Raptors fans to watch the NBA playoffs and see the legendary shooter Peja Stojakovic make a difference for the Dallas Mavericks, especially considering he sat around as a Raptor and basically chose that he wouldn't play. This is a part of the NBA that's hard to justify. A veteran comes to a team he wants no part of and basically says he can't. Then he goes to a contender and suddenly he's helping put the Los Angeles Lakers on the ropes. Yeah, the Raptors got cap space and flexibility and all that for bringing in Peja and then letting him go. Cap space and flexibilty are wonderful but they don't help your starting lineup when you're winning 22 games and it doesn't sell any tickets, either.
What to do with Boudreau?
The easy thing to do is fire Bruce Boudreau. It's Page 1 in the general manager's handbook. If you disappoint year after year in the playoffs, it has to be somebody's fault and it's definitely not yours as GM — so you sacrifice the coach. That's usually the way it works, only George McPhee doesn't operate that way. He wants to keep Boudreau as coach of the Washington Capitals. There isn't a coach alive who can coach desperation and bravery and leadership, which the Capitals lack at playoff time. You can't hang this latest setback — aren't we having this conversation every year? — on Boudreau. He transformed the Caps from offensive to defensive, but in the end it didn't really matter. When it mattered most, Washington proved to be a team that played on the periphery. That doesn't cut it come playoff time.
The Sunday Quiz: Try and figure out who exactly is eligible for today's Canadian Football League draft. Danny Watkins, a first-round pick in the NFL draft, was chosen in last year's CFL draft. Vaughn Martin, who has played two years for the San Diego Chargers, is eligible in this year's CFL draft. And you wonder why the Ottawa Rough Riders once drafted a dead guy? ... Is Tampa one of the worst sporting cities in North America? It has a terrific baseball team, a fine NFL team and an emerging NHL team and all three have attendance problems ... TV transactions: Michele Tafoya is leaving Monday Night Football for Sunday Night Football, taking the place of Andrea Kreamer, who doesn't want to be a sideline reporter any more ... Boxing may be dead, but the business of Manny Pacquiao isn't. At Pacquiao's weigh-in Friday, 8,000 people turned up at the MGM Grand, which had room for only 6,000. To watch someone stand on a scale ... Happy birthday to Eddie Joyal (71), Bill Cowher (54), draft boy Duane Forde (42), Ronnie Lott (52), Toni Tennille (68) and Peter McNab (59) ... And hey, whatever became of John Druce?

A BARRY nursery is having a day of activities open to parents looking for a pre-school place for their child.
Daisy Day Nursery in Barry is inviting parents to take a tour of the facilities, speak to members of staff and take part in activities and workshops alongside their children on Thursday, March 20.
Daisy Day Nursery provides a safe, clean and comfortable environment with an emphasis on healthy eating and learning through play for children aged nought to five.
The open day will run from 10am until 7pm on March 20 and staff will be happy to answer any questions parents may have. Parents are also encouraged to explore the nursery and facilities and get involved in the various activities taking place.
"At Daisy Day, we understand that it is important that parents feel part of their child's development. For this reason, we are committed to keeping them informed through regular parents' evenings and focus groups, as well as a daily diary," said Ceri Stokes, Manager of the Barry Nursery.
Nursery places are limited but any parents who choose to register their child within seven days of the event will receive a half price discount on the registration fee.

Adopting a baby is one of the most noble and selfless things a person can do, and funny lady Queen Latifah is serious about wanting to adopt a baby of her own. She's funny, always comes across as personable, and has a role in the new hit animated film, Ice Age: Continental Drift. I bet a lot of kids will find it pretty cool to have a mom in one of their favorite movies. The star has talked for years about adopting a child, and according to People, she's serious. I certainly hope my kids don't see that Queen Latifah wants to adopt; they'd send her their baby resumes in hopes of having a cool cartoon character for a mom.
The actress appeared on The View this week, telling Barbara Walters that she wants to adopt. "I'm actually kind of working on that," Queen Latifah she said, after being asked if adoption is something she wants to pursue. "I just always wanted to bring a child home." She joked to the reporter that if anyone has a baby they don't want, to give her a call.
Queen Latifah has made it clear over the years that adopting a baby is something she wants, yet she's never made any progress in actually adopting one. I suppose she is a little busy, what with her huge acting career and all, but I'm not sure I'll believe it until I see it. On the other hand, the actress is now 42-years-old, which seems like a good age to slow down, have a baby, and start really enjoying parenthood.
I wish the best of luck to the Queen in her adoption endeavors. There certainly is no shortage of children in need of a loving home and a future of endless possibilities. If my own two children didn't drive me crazy, I might consider adopting a few children of my own. It sounds much less painful than childbirth.
Do you think Queen Latifah is serious about adoption? Tell us below in the comments section!

We are 16 months in and this sucks! Everything sucks (is how I feel). BH has been in leveled up, hyper turbo, super duper pissed off mode since we came back from Christmas card elves trip. It was like he enjoyed something about it and it pissed him off big time.
The kids are complaining, his mother is complaining, and I'm trying to cover for him because no one else knows why he is unhinged and I'm the one who did it to him. It has been an ugly week.
I have felt loving and supportive. I have been loving and supportive but I have felt it too (you know how you can be that way without really feeling it? I almost always feel it all the way through me but today it started cracking.
Tonight we were looking at recipes and pretty pictures in Southern Living Magazine and there was a picture of a nice inn in the town I graduated from high school in.
Me: That looks like a nice place to stay. Oh, it's in (nice historic city)...
Him: Yeah, the most hated city on earth.
He hates the town I went to my last two years of high school in because I had sex then, twenty years before I ever met him... I'm aware of this and I usually tolerate it better but tonight it just pissed me off. I'm tired. I'm tired of walking on egg shells. I'm tired of him yelling at the kids. I'm tired of freaking breathing.
I got a bit of a 'tude. Turned over and have been short in my replies since then. He knows I'm pissed. This feels like the pre-A marriage, not the one where we've been working so hard to communicate. I feel like I'm back before step one. No progress at all.
As I'm posting I turn around and he has my profile open on his iPad. So I sniped at him for stalking my posts. He said not to worry, he will never read my post again. He will just get off the site... That's not what I wanted to say at all. Now he's checking the obits and arrests for OM....can that really be therapeutic somehow?
I need a timeout. PLEASE HELP! I feel like I'm loosing it. I'm not handling anything right.
I edit often to fix stuff ☺
Profoundly grateful Every. Single. Day. that I am blessed with an H with strength, integrity, and compassion, and that he decided to try.
Does it suck that he's angry again, yup but it's a consequence, looks like he hit a down on the roller coaster and needs you to ride it out with him. Think though if it sucks for you, how is it for him? He's trying, just by being there he's trying. You had a high moment and maybe it made him think of all the lows. The whole hating the town because you had sex there before you met him seems a little much to you, but not to him. You need to communicate here, he's not the only one lacking on that. You sniped at him, got angry, gave short answers, turned your back....sweetie that's not how to approach his anger, you know this. So yes he backslided too, he's already angry, was probably checking your post to see how you were feeling since you weren't communicating it and then you hit him with another verbal whiplash. Boom he goes to a comfort zone, an unhealthy one but a comfort zone nonetheless and zeros in on OM and all his horrible qualities.
He is hurting, and you are too, but perhaps take a step back and realize that yes it's better but it's not 100% there yet. You both need more time and work and need to hold on to the lessons already learned. Communicate with him, apologize for the attitude and the sniping and let him know how you feel.
After reading your post I tried to put myself back to the place of 16 months out. That was shortly after my final TT, and it was not a pretty time for us. Even without TT, that is really so early in the R process, and year 2 is so difficult.
A couple of things come to mind for me...I remember being emotionally exhausted. This shit gets draining after awhile! I remember being angry, and yes, pissy at my BH, which makes you feel torn, because we are WSs after all. Balancing the 'I'm pissed off but he's pissed off and I really have no right but I'm still feeling this way and what do I do with it?' is very, very tiring.
So, I feel that you do need to be patient and mindful of what Knight is dealing with every day, probably nonstop. As tiring as it is for you, multiply that by a lot, and that's his reality.
However, I remember LD posting about his troubles and at some point a BS on here (it was Nokidding) called him on it. She said at some point the A is no longer an excuse for your misery. You and AN are doing the work and you have to let go of the anger if you want to R. It isn't always about the A. Life is tough, there are challenges, and if it always comes back to the A you are cheating yourself (no pun intended). Move on! she told him.
It was a strong message, and thankfully LD got it. I felt like no matter what was happening in our lives, no matter how hard I was working and how transparent, remorseful, authentic I was being, it was always about the A. It is valid, of course, but at some point it's not.
All that being said, I don't think Knight is there yet. For him it is still very much about the A. Again, 16 months is so early in the R process. I can't remember when Nokidding told LD all that but it was awhile after 16 months. And the healing timeline is different for everybody. I think you'll know when it's past the point of being about the A and Knight being stuck in it. Nokidding made the point of that place being comfortable...staying there allows us to not look at the other issues.
We had plenty of pre-A issues. I believe it is hard for the BS to let go of the A and go back to pre-A, because doing that makes them feel like they are giving you the message that the A was okay. LD would say to me that it was tough to swallow that my cheating made him a better husband (after we worked on all the pre-A stuff). No shit, I would feel the same way if I were him. A better marriage was a gift to me after I chose to cheat. He also said that he committed to R so he would go all in, and make this the best M that he could. That blew my mind.
MC MC MC...this was all stuff that we worked through in MC, and at home every minute in between, lol.
But you can get there.
I'm rooting for you .
I read a lot on here and wonder about what we are "allowed" to feel and express. For a WS like me, who was emotionally dead and unwilling to share its a whole new ball game and I don't know the rules of how to play. So when things like this come up it doesn't have to mean anything more than your angry or just tired. And yes I know its 100x worse for our BS but we still have our moments.
It was like he enjoyed something about it and it pissed him off big time
Although there are certain things or events that can trigger sadness or anger, you must remember this simple fact. It's not that thing or event he is pissed off about. He is pissed because you had an A. And he has a right to be pissed about that. And it takes a very long time to work through that.
The holidays in general can be very difficult even for people who aren't dealing with infidelity. People feel lonely, some desperate. Suicide rates are highest this time of year. Instead of being compassionate towards others around him, Knight can also be taking some of that extra stress in and internalizing it. Feeling like 'ya! Life does suck ass, doesn't it?' The holidays in general are rough.
So that being said, it's how you deal with it can make all the difference in the world. You can join him in his anger and frustration. Get annoyed and snippy when things just don't go your way. Which in turn I can guarantee will only cause more anger, more frustration. Or you can have compassion and understanding about where his emotions are coming from.
Some of the things he may say might not be valid or might be over the top. But have an understanding about where it's coming from. When you feel yourself getting frustrated, stop and take a step back and remember this is a man who is hurting.
Ask yourself why you are so pissed? Is it because you are tired? Is it because deep down you feel he should be doing better than he is? Is it because you really just want things to go back to normal?
I mean honestly, him not liking your hometown isn't the end of the world is it? Instead of becoming short with him, telling him you understand might go a little farther. Unless you are struggling with understanding in which case I urge you to ask him to help you understand.
I really struggled with understanding male pride. I had to have HT explain it in numerous ways. I posted about it to get other BM's perceptions. I will never fully understand but it helped tremendously to ask for the help. Don't be afraid to ask him to explain some of his feelings with you. And try not to be dismissive or annoyed when his reactions don't seem to fit the situation. Because I can guarantee they make sense to him, now. And that can change and grow over time.
So back to your original question: is it allowed? Yes, you can be angry. You can be tired. You can feel hopeless at times. But I don't feel it's productive to be reactionary in a negative way. It sends the message that you don't understand how he feels. It sends a message that how you feel is still the priority.
As far as him reading your posts. Well, HT has read every post I have ever written and vice versa. Some may not agree with this but it works for us. Him reading my posts gives him another peak inside my head. I can give him lip service all day in person but what I write helps to solidify what I say. Nothing I write is a surprise to him. Nothing he writes is a surprise to me. We really try to be an open book about all this stuff.
You have heard it before. Year two is hard. Bit if you keep communication open, you can get through it.
It was like he enjoyed something about it and it pissed him off big time.
I believe it is hard for the BS to let go of the A and go back to pre-A, because doing that makes them feel like they are giving you the message that the A was okay.
LD would say to me that it was tough to swallow that my cheating made him a better husband (after we worked on all the pre-A stuff). No shit, I would feel the same way if I were him.
One thing I wanted to add is that for myself, the culture we live in makes everything so much harder as far as trying to live in the present....the desire to rugsweep the whole thing sometimes feel reinforced from every angle, and fighting against that tide is exhuasting and makes one cranky.
It seems like you're doing a great job, though.
why is he upset that you had sex with someone before you ever met him? Was it like this pre-A?
It may not be wholly rational, but it's not a huge stretch, either. When you've been betrayed and feel as though you are being compared to others, it's really difficult not to feel threatened by EVERY relationship that might be held up as a yardstick against which you will be measured. Even relationships that predate your relationship.
(((knightsbff)) I'm sorry you're in a rough spot. This is a hard time of year.
I promise, though, there's not a BIT of "enjoying the pain" involved.
Sometimes, I enjoy something with my husband and kids, then...boom, out of no where, I trigger thinking, how tainted my memories are of similar activities during his A year's. Then my happiness is suddenly clouded. Then the anger and depression comes in.
Sometimes, I can tell my husband why I'm upset. Sometimes, I can't. I'm too angry and I just want to feel the emotion for awhile, or I can't explain it in words at that moment. Sometimes I just want to be left alone until I can get my emotions under control.
For me, the absolute worst thing my husband can do is get snippy with me and turn his back on me. It then brings back the rush of feelings I felt when he abandoned me during his affairs. That it turn causes me more pain, anger and fear.
What does help me is when he asks me what is wrong, gently. Asking what he can do to help me. Asking if something he said or did triggered me or did something else. I respond to that. Even if I say I'm not ready, knowing he's trying usually diffuses some of my anger.
I doubt that this was really about your home town, but rather underlying andger that he couldn't put into words. I think you could have asked what was really hurting him in that moment instead. Show him your compassion and desire to help comfort him. That you're making positive changes.
Former 80s Icon wishful thinking
I was feeling tired and overwhelmed and handled it poorly. I'm feeling better this morning and have apologized and tried to talk about where I went wrong. I'm still trying to figure out what I should have done.
I know for me...it would have gone better if my husband would have said something like "Hey, I noticed you're upset, what's going on? Did something happen today that triggered you? How can I help?"
If I wasn't ready to talk about it him asking if he could hold my hand or just hold me while we watch TV or something until I was ready would have been helpful.
I know its really hard NOT to shut down and turn your back, but, he needs to see that you're trying to think of his emotions and not react like you would have previously. He may need some prodding by you to help him open up.
Knight let me ask you something, why was he reading your posts?
You need to communicate

@Facepunched, your story about last Christmas made me feel sad and ashamed. There were time my BH was taking care of us, working hard, struggling, while I was busy betraying him. I need to keep it in mind. I'm sure it's never far from his mind.

@Samantha Baker, thank you for the insight. I really screwed up in how I acted. During the A I would get snippy with him and turn my back on him to communicate with OM on my phone or iPad. He know this now and it is a major trigger for him. Yesterday I was working on my suckiest wayward of the year award. Today is a new day. I will handle things better. Back to my mindfulness app. Pausing before reacting or speaking. THINKING....

Knightsbff, you have done things with your prior relationships and AP that you haven't/won't do with your husband. That has to hurt him deeply. And yeah sure, you can move forward with the best of intentions of, "Dadburn it, let's kick this trigger square in the butt and make new memories together!" But honestly, it's not that easy. Why? Because if you suddenly start doing it now, he knows you're only trying to make him feel better. Which reminds him why you're doing it. Which reminds him that you did it for/with other people for years and only after Dday would you attempt to do it with him...it just goes on and on in his mind. kwim?
Should pre-relationship sex not matter? Generally yes. But not if you do ABC with some people and refuse your spouse.

"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - J. Wayne
And like Aubrie said, if you start offering that stuff now, then for the BS there is a little bit of a sarcastic, "Hey, don't do me any favors."-thing at work.
BH has been in leveled up, hyper turbo, super duper pissed off mode since we came back from Christmas card elves trip. It was like he enjoyed something about it and it pissed him off big time.
Sounds like he might be experiencing some post-G2G letdown. There tends to be a lot of positive energy any time SIers get together, and sometimes it's really tough to go back to "the real world" after being surrounded in person by people who really get it. I've found that it really helps to start figuring out which G2G I can make it to next.
We've been having 2 big Texas G2Gs a year, one in the spring and another one in the fall, in case either of you needs something to look forward to.
Knightsbff, you have done things with your prior relationships and AP that you haven't/won't do with your husband. That has to hurt him deeply.
I think even though he knew what he was getting when he asked me to marry him it was still very tough for him. He was raised with the belief that if you save yourself for the one person you marry and spend the rest of your life with you will be blessed. He did that, I didn't. We couldn't talk about his feelings about this prior to the A because if he brought up any feelings of hurt or loss I would get uber defensive. "He had no right to be upset about what I did prior to meeting him." Truthfully it was a super sore spot for me because I had all kinds of guilt and shame attached to everything I had done prior to meeting him mixed up with guilt and shame I was refusing to face r/t CSA. He couldn't communicate his feelings and I couldn't communicate mine. Things were very tense...for years. Obviously we both need work here. I have done a lot of work on facing mine down. Right after d-day he was insistent that I needed to tell him about every sexual experience I had ever had. We talked to our ICs and the consensus seemed to be that that wasn't necessary and might not be helpful. I haven't done it as I'm afraid of even more triggers and mind movies. He hasn't asked for it lately either.
I would love to help him to come to terms with my past relationships but I think this may be something he will have to do himself.
Aubrie & Facepunched,
I understand what your saying. This is awful for him and even though our sex life is better now he's still got those tracks playing in his head that I'm only doing things now to make up for before. But I think all I can do is be authentic in offering myself to him because I love him and want us both to enjoy each other and then hope T-I-M-E will do the rest. The alternative is to accept that I've messed this up for us permanently and there's no hope for change. Not willing to take that approach but I'm open for ideas.
He sounded interested in future GTGs. Hopefully he will still want to go. I think I will suggest when the time is near and then follow his lead.
You're right, I do need to open up more dialogue about this. I think me seeking to understand his feelings more fully will at least help me to temper my reactions. I'm not proud of getting huffy with him the other night.

I know that for myself, 11 months out, the valleys are sometimes brought on by the peaks.
For whatever emotional/chemical reason, I remember that moments of happiness triggered sadness and rage in me during the second year. It was very frustrating for FWH, and for me as well.
It's like, we are afraid and angry that every happy moment is chased down and destroyed by the memory of the A. Holidays make these feelings explode exponentially for someone early out. All the joy and family and good times we were supposed to be experiencing are enmeshed with the memory of what we have lost, and then we become angry that we can't just be plain old content for one second.
It DOESN'T make sense on paper. It is really really hard for a FWS to deal with, especially when they have been putting their heart day after day, minute after minute into R only to have the kindest of gestures rejected.
This is a valley, kbff. You are absolutely allowed to have your feelings about this. Just know that where Knight is in his healing is indeed like that rollercoaster we all talk about - and the holidays are like the corkscrew part.
Sending you both big hugs.
I ask her every night if there's anything I can do on my way home from work, then once I'm home from work. One of the things she told me is that it helps demonstrate the changes I've made if I notice and compliment her on something she's managed to do that day, so maybe this is something you can use?
I reiterate asking if there's anything I can do throughout the evening, and I make certain to take time out of what I'm doing for sessions of time where I do nothing but pay positive, constructive attention to her: it could be bonding over a TV show or conversation or anything you like, so long as it's just you two and nothing else steals your attention.
I also take the time to do a little of the housework each day. It may not be much, but it shows I'm paying attention and that I care about the welfare of the house and its people -- a far cry from what I used to only care about, which is myself.

Mike Lynch, the founder of tech company Autonomy, took advantage of a rally in blinkx shares to sell down part of his stake in the online video search group for £4.5m.
Mr Lynch, a non-executive director of the Aim-listed company, offloaded 3m shares in the group on Monday and Tuesday at an average price of approximately 150p, blinkx disclosed in a stock exchange filing.
Although blinkx fell 6 to 150p today on news of the sale, the shares touched their highest level since October 2011 a day earlier after analysts at both Jefferies and Citigroup issued bullish research notes on the company. The shares changed hands for about 67p at the start of the year.
"It's been going up beautifully," Mr Lynch said, adding that he sold shares in blinkx on a regular basis so that no inferences are made from the disposals.
Blinkx demerged from Autonomy in 2007 and Mr Lynch held an 8.7pc stake at the time of its flotation. A series of share sales since then has seen his holding fall, with the latest disposal bringing his interest in the company down to 4.9pc, or about 17.9m shares.
Hewlett-Packard inherited a stake in blinkx when it bought Autonomy in 2011, a now controversial acquisition. HP sold out of blinkx in June at 120p a share.
"This is a stock that people want to own," said Patrick Yau, an analyst at Peel Hunt. "It's not the most liquid stock in the world so any time the market does get fed with stock by shareholders like Mike then that gets snapped up quite quickly."
With politicians in the US backing intervention in Syria, jitters over an American strike on the country pushed the FTSE 100 lower in morning trade, only to recoup its losses to close 6.33 points better at 6,474.74 after an encouraging start to dealings in the US.
Indeed, there were a number of heavyweight bulls around today. Strategists at Morgan Stanley struck an optimistic tone, arguing that although there are destabilising factors in the short-term – such as the rising oil price, a tapering of US quantitative easing and the German election – in the coming year the conditions for shares would be more positive. As a result they raised their rolling 12-month target for the FTSE 100 to 7,170 from 7,000.
At the same time, the market experts at Citi upgraded their stance on UK equities to "overweight" because of mounting confidence in the domestic economy.
Still, dragging on the market today was the travel sector, which was hit by the profit warning from Ryanair. The airline has been hurt by the recent heatwave that has stunted demand for foreign holidays.
Low-cost peer easyJet slumped 65p, or 5.1pc, to £12.15, British Airways owner International Airlines Group fell 3.7 to 291p, tour operator TUI Travel lost 11.1 to 334.6p and Thomas Cook relinquished 6.9 to 135.7p. Ryanair itself dropped 11.4pc to €6.00 in Dublin. Also weighing on the sector were continuing worries over an attack on Syria, which has already pushed up the oil price and could disrupt international travel.
But Vodafone, the heaviest faller a day earlier on profit-taking and disappointment with the terms of its Verizon Wireless deal, rebounded to gain 4½ to 207p, making it the biggest riser in the FTSE 100.
WPP edged up 7p to 312.40, with the advertising giant finding support from Jefferies analyst David Reynolds. He argued that despite the merger of Publicis and Omnicom, WPP will remain the market leader in China – the world's fastest growing advertising market – and retained his "buy" rating on the Sir Martin Sorrell's London-listed group.
In the FTSE 250 – off 9.93 points at 14,851.53 – influential broker Goldman Sachs helped mineral sands producer Kenmare Resources, which operates the Moma mine in Mozambique, advance 1.49 to 28.69p.
Analysts at the bank added the company to their so-called "conviction buy" list, arguing Kenmare will start to generate "strong" free cash flow that means they expect the group to unveil a maiden dividend at its 2014 full-year results.
The heaviest faller in the second-tier index was equipment rental group Ashtead, finishing 36½ lower at 651p after reporting first-quarter results. Adjusted pre-tax profits climbed 62.8pc to £99.5m, but worries over capital expenditure dragged on the company today. The group said capex during the three-month period amounted £279m.
Elsewhere in the FTSE 250, concern about recent trading at ICAP saw the inter-dealer broker slip 1½ to 374.9p. The company said that average daily foreign exchange spot volumes on its EBS broking platform declined 11.9pc to $78.7bn (£50.3bn) in August, compared with a month earlier.
Lower down the scale, there was more excitement for punters interested in the telecoms and technology sector, who have already been kept busy by Microsoft's €5.4bn (£4.6bn) deal for Nokia's handset business and Vodafone's £130bn Verizon Wireless exit. Today it was Aim-listed Monitise, the mobile payments group, that drew dealers' attention by announcing a partnership with IBM.
The US giant will help the small-capper deliver mobile services for Visa Europe, which agreed a three-year commercial partnership with Monitise in March. A "buy" note from Goldman also helped Monitise higher, with analysts at the broker boosting their price target to 100p, from 60p, and arguing the company's full-year results tomorrow should show "significant acceleration" in organic growth during the second-half of the year. Monitise ended the day 7¾ higher at 53¾p, a 16.8pc jump.

Eucerin sun block 30SPF. And for moisterizer plain old Eucerin.
Hi! I have very fair skin that's prone to breakouts and scarring, and I do basic, common-sense things to keep it under control: I exfoliate, use purifying masks, steam, use medicated cleansers, etc. However, now that I'm almost 25, I should be moisturizing and using a sunblock every day, and I can't seem to find a moisturizer/sunblock that doesn't make my face freak out. Does anyone here have any experience with this, or any recommendations?

I am very fair skinned and I freckle easily. I use Obagi sunblock on my face daily and it is not greasy at all. I used to use the whole Obagi skin care line. My favorite moisturizer is Philosophy Hope in a Jar. My skin is very prone to breakouts also and neither of these has caused me any problems.
I use the fragrance-free Olay moisturizer with SPF 15 - you can get it at the drugstore for about $8, and it doesn't make me break out. I've also used the Mary Kay TimeWise moisturizer with SPF 15, but the MK brand costs about twice as much as the Olay.
I agree that it's important to use sunscreen even if you're not going outside that often.
I have heard good things about the Alpha H range.
I work in skin care. IF I HAD THE MONEY....I would bath in La Mer Gel, not the Creme de La Mer...the new Gel. However, since I am not loaded...I really had great experience using their On the Go Clearner , Walnut Scrub and Vitamin Moisturizer (it is very light) and spreads thin.

This is the only day lotion I've found that has a chemical sunscreen but doesn't make my face freak out. Have used this for about 15 years. I wear this plus foundation and it works to prevent tanning so I assume it's working.
So if your breakouts are from irritation this one may work for you, it has proved gentle for me even when I was having rosacea and all sorts of problems - most of the issues have resolved now (so have hope for the future, djuna) and I can use night creams with fragrance, etc. now but this Olay Complete Sensitive Day SPF 15 is the gold standard for a nonirritating moisturizer with SPF, I am very devoted to it.

Address by Hon. W. R. Castle The
Exercises at Punahou School
This Morning-.
The Memorial Day services were
held at the Nuuanu cemetery at 4
o'clock this afternoon by the veterans
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
While the ceremonies were chiefly
under the auspices of Gi'orge W. Long
Post, No. 45, a number of members of
other posts of the Grand Army were
The veterans started from their hall
on King street near Fort at 3 o'clock
headed by the Government band and a
detachment of police tinder Captain
Parker and were escorted by a detach
ment from Company E, Regulars N. G.
II., under Captain John Good, and one
from Company A (Auxiliary) unde
Captain Charles Zeigler, both being
under the chief command of Lieut. -Colonel
J. H. Fisher. The President
of the Provisional Government was
represented by his Aide, Major George
C. Potter and the ministers rode
in carriages.
Arriving at the cemetery the wives
and daughters of the members of the
Grand Army spread fljwers on the
graves of the dead soldiers. The ex
ercises consisted of addresses, " The
duty of to-day," by Post Commander
J. Wright; " To day is the festival of
our dead," by Comrade Wright; "Com
rades by this service," by the Chaplain,
and the oration by Hon. W. R. Castle,
as follows :
Soldiers op the Grand Army: Not
in sorow, but rather with joy have you
come to renew the associations which
bound you in life and are not severed
by death. It is well to revive the
memories of your glorious past; not f..r
the sake of vain triumph, but to inspire
the people with noble resolves for the
life of to day, and to help towards a
higher life in the future. We read in
the sacred story that as the Hebrews
entered the promised land they paused
and built enduring monuments of stone;
not for their own glory, but to cause
future generations to remember the
past with its great lessons, and thus tc
assist in a better life for them. Is it
not so with this Memorial Dtcoration
Day? As you strew flowers and gar
lands upon the graves of the brave who
have passed on with the vanguaid ymi
honor their memories, you biing their
faces, their noble deeds again before
you. Once more y.u are with them
in the long march, in the night watch,
around the camp fire. Again you
spring from sleep at the sound of the
long roll; you rush to battle. Again
are you in the midst of the smoke and
thunder of the fight. Friends are fall
ing, but you rush on to victory, and
when the smoke hns cleared away you
are still there, and these whose memories
you honor were spared with you for
another life than that of a soldier,
You cast your eyes upon this swoid
and your blood has a quicker flow; anew
life thrills through your nerves when you
remember its story; how it flashed
in the sun through the terrible scenes
of the wilderness, slowly fighting its
way towards the heart of the great re
hellion. It joined in the bloody fight
at Cold Harbor, held its place at
Gordonsville, then witnessed and did
its share in the fearful scenes around
I'etersourg. wver tne mountains in
the lovely valley of Virginia again it
helped in winning the hard struggles at
Strasburg, Cedar Creek, Winchester
and other bloody fields till its proud
career was ended at Waynesborough,
Or you are with the noble Foote upon
the rivers; with him you are ever vie
torious. With F.irragut you endure the
fierce bombardment, or your memory
goes back to the excitement of the
chase over the sparkling blue of the
mighty deep. You and we all are
moved with pride and joy at the rec
ollection of the fine achievements of
our navy. The fight 011 Hampton
Roads changed the naval warfare of
the world. How many dumb symbols
revive the memories of that past till
you feel again the shock of the fight,
the excitement, the thrill of battle. Or
your thoughts turn to the bitter S' rrow
of capture, the weary waiting, the en
forced idleness of prison. A world of
memories flood your brain.
" Old faces look upon one, old forms go
trooping past,
And my dim spirit wakes again upon the
verge of night."
To us in Hawaii has come another
stroke of sorrow. The death of our
gallant Armstrong brings inure than the
sadness which goes with the death of
the brave and true. He was ours, he
carried into the war for freedom 0111
hope and strong effort for a noble
cause. Every sound of his voice, every
rine of his sabre was a note from lia
waii. We gloried in his splendid man
hood, His advancement was our pride.
And when the war was over he entered
the greater but peaceful struggle, the
battle for a higher and purer Hie tor
the people, then we joined w th that
great land to do nun honor, bncli
life is a uain to the human race. In
his death all have lost a firm true friend
Such work as his helped to heal the
animosity of the past.
But the old war time bitterness ha
gone. To-d.iy we think with priili
and respect of the brave and valorous
enemv who made the light so hard t
win. No Ionizer are they enemies. It
is no longer the North and the South
To-day it is one country, one peopl
one blood; it is America.
Out of the ashes of the struggle,
purified, purged of its dross, cleansed
with the blood of its sons, the nation
has arisen to a better life, a finer free
dom: the Grandest nation on the earth
Since the war the United States has
nearly doubled its population; from
thirty-four millions and a half, it has
grown to sixty-five millions. It has
taken from the best blood and brains
of the world. With giant strides the
nation, like a trained athlete, has pass
ed its competitors and now stands in
the foremost rank of the great peoples
of the earth. It is the richest, the
most prosperous, the most energetic,
the most cnlighted. The period of its
greatest progress has been since the
war and without doubt much is due to
the energy and foresight developed
and trained in that terrible school.
The war did not unfit the soldiers for
the arts of peace, although it was pro
phesied that having learned the art of
war; having become accustomed to the
life of the camp; to the stirring scenes
of the battle field they would not dis
band, but would instead establish a
military desp 'tism. Such critics failed
to appreciate and understand the men
who composed the vast armies of free
America. They measured by the stand
ard of the armies of history, of the des
potisms of Europe and Asia, where the
s .Idier is a machine subject only to
the will of the great captain. But the
men who made the American Armies
were of a different type. Every one
reasoned and understood the creot
issues before the natian. When the
war was ended they laid aside the sold
ier and at once resumed the life of tin
quiet citizen, liut they re-entered the
life of old with new impulses and differ
ent views. 1 he vision and the under
standing were broadened and deep
ened and with a mighty strength the
soldier became the farmer, the artisan,
the merchant, the sailor, the statesman
and philosopher. With this renewed
life and vigor the nation bounded
ahead; giant enterprises which, in form
er days, would have appalled the
bravest no longer waited fur accotn
plishment. Great rivers were bridged;
the railroads scaled the mountain pas
ses; new cities grew up like mushrooms
on the plains, but developed into a
substantial lire; the ring of the trowel,
the blow of the hammer, the rattle of
the shuttle in the loom resounded
through the land. The telegraph
everywhere annihilated distance and
time. I he cable has bridged the
ocean. The voice of the lightning
now pieices the utmost c rnersofthe
earth. Improvement and develop
ment have reached out upon the waters
nd there we see the same hand of
progress. 1 ransportation has become
easier, faster, safer. The ocean
steamer, the river and lake pickets are
wonders when contrasted with those
of a quarter of a century ago.
Hand in hand with material pro
gress the work of the mind has marched.
1 he methods of education have so
unproved, that acquiring knowledge
has become a pleasure instead of a
process painful as pulling a tooth.
Education was never so general nor as
good. Art no longer represents the
teacher as a stern featured man with
a dry tome in one hand, in the other
a feiule. The teacher now appears a
beautiful woman, the fire of intellect
glowing from her face attracting by pcr-
suas.ve method. The arts f living, of
the practical eveiy day requirements of
life are now taught, where only a few
years ago it was an attack in front and
iear upon the serried columns of Greek
veibs or the fortified positions of conic
stctions. I he activity of the mind ol
to day is attested by the thousands of
wondeiful inventions which have
chiiiged the hardships of living into
pleasures. I he great Patent Office in
Washington is now too small for the
miniature models even which explain
the inventions. Conspicuous in the
woik of the mind to-day we observe a
great advance in plans to alleviate
human suffering, to overcome-and con
quer disease, not only in subduing but
tn removing causes. .Medicine is a
science ot the highest order. Its
disciples are no longer sorcerers, necro
mancers, bungling jugglers, but men
of the highest scholarship and scientific
attainment whose aims are noble and
humane. The nerd of their wi rk is
one of vast benefit to the human race.
the term of life is lengthened. 15y
the use of anesthetics the sum of
human misery is vastly decreased.
Prominent among those who have
made this wonderful advance are well
known names of many army and navy
surgeons. statesmen now concern
themselves with measures for the eleva
tinn of the masses, to protect the weak
against the strong, to curtail the ag
gressive power of capital when in the
hands 1 f unscrupulous men. Never
has the honor and d.gnity of labor with
the hands been so prominent as to-day
N.ver has a conservative public opinion
exercised the in II in nee that it now has.
In all of this splendid progress ; in
the development on land and on sea
we fina that the soldier and the sailor
"if that great war has done his share,
yes more than his part. Without them
such advance would not have ben
made. The training of w.ir has made
possible the brilliant triumphs of peace.
In the ranks of the benefactois of the
race the cavalry, the infantry, the sail
ors, the engineers, the surgeons appear
The victories of war were gaiiud by
bravery, watchfulness, training. The
glorious achievements of peace have
been won by like means. In war the
secret advances ol the ennemy were
repelled by unsleeping vigilance.
But is there n ennemv to caieh ?
Is there no sapping of the outposts, no
attae' in the flmk or in the rear of our
splendid procress ? Is our base of
operations safe from all danger ? The
true s ildier leaves no approach 1111
uuarded? Can it be said that our
civilization is impregnable? Are not
the seeds of disintegration in our very
midst? Is there nothing ytt for the
brave American soldier to do? "I'.ter
nal vigilencc is the price of liberty."
Everywhere 111 our broad country
the newspaper brings the story of
fraud and corruption, of crime and
trouble. There is a weakening in the
training in the family, a growing disre
gard for the obligations l tr ist, a ten
dency to scoff and jeer at private or
public virtues. In the all absotumg
pursuit of wealth and preferment the

and courtesy are pushed aside. These
things grieviousiy assail the private life
of the citizen. Following hard upon
them, public virtues and integrity are
severely tried by fraud and dpceit a1

by the prostitution of public hum in

yet l( ft of the brave and true men who
fought that war thirty yenrsago to effect
much in restoring America to that
solid Roman virtue which must be the
basis if einluriug government of the
pei pie, by the people, for the people.
Far away fr in the home land in
these sunny islands of the Pacific, in
this outpost of American ivilication,
it is well for this American colony to
devote a day to reviving the memories
of the glorious past, and thus
to kei ji live the sacred flame of
patriotic love for the fatherland. In
all countries we ought to present such
a pure and perfect type of republican
America that all shall desire the boon
of Americanism, that there shall be
only respect for the institutions of
democracy. It is well to renew the
ties of association which bind us closer
to that land; to think and talk of the
splendid record of those who have only
gone ahead. It is well that the animus
ities nf the days of old are buried; to
feel that the blue and the grey are no
longer divided hut united, and brothers
again with a cimn on love f -r their
comm m country.
Yes ! Heap with flowers these rest
ing places of the glorious dead 1 Let
the living place garlands of roses,
wreaths of laurel upon graves of th- ir
departed brothers. Let us unite to
keep their memories green.
After the oration was finished, which
was listened to with great atlention,
the "Roll Call of the Dead" was given
by Adjutant J. Simonson.
Music was interspersed amongst the
addresses by the band and the Central
Union Church choir under Miss Dole.
The benediction was the n given by
Rev. E. G. Beckwitb, and the veterans
and their escort returned home.
Special services were held to-day at
Punahou school, and Dr. A. B. .Lyons
delivered the following eloquent ad
We of Punahou should join in the
observance of Memorial Day, this year,
with a peculiar interest. We are rc
minded by the heavy tidings that came
to us yesterday that Punahou had its
representatives among those who fought
the battles of Hit tr country in the great
war that was desolating America thirty
years ago.
When 1 came to Punahou to enter
the class of "sub-freshmen," I found
that there was one young man who was
universally recogn.Z''d as the leadir in
the school. I soon came to admire,
myself, as every one in the school did,
girls, I think, as well as boys, the qual
ities that gave bam Armstrong that
was what we called him his pre-eminence.
F'irst in Ins less' ns that was
1 matter of course, and s i he himself
seea cd to think, willi'iit a particle of
vanity what was the use of sludjwg if
he could not thoroughly master each
task ? F'irst on the play ground. Other
Iriys in the school were perhaps as well
endowed as he with muscular strength,
but none were his match, we knew,
when prompt decision and quick action
were called for. Self reliant, he invited
and won our confidence in his ability.
Independent, manly, impetuous, yet
forbearing and magnanimous such
was the Sam Armstrong of Punalioii
Soon after he went from us, to study
elsewhere, there came to us the start
ling, soul-stirring news of the outbreak
of the Rebellion of the uprising of

and to rebuke the nre.it wrong of
We knew what to expect of Arm

only to complete his col ege course,
which was near'y finished. Then he
ofieied himself to his country not the
less his country that he had been born
in Hawaii nei--and net alone. He
raised c mpany of his own, entering
the service with rank of captain. We
who knew Armstrong, knew that he
would make a dashing and an able
officer. We he.nd of him now 'ead
ing a perilous charge, again made
prisoner at H.nper s Feiry, not through
any mismanagement of his own. Again
doing n- ble service with a company
made up of stragglers, his own company
h.iving been annihilated. Always forget
ful of personal peril a noble soldier. At

F'reely he had risked his life- for his

master General J. Mort Oat and de
manded the payment of ertain notes
due tl.e bank. These notes which
were made last year by the old govern
ment, are four in number and m ount
in the uggrtgite to $93,000 and are
signed by the P stal S..wng's Bank as
follows; two for thirty thousand dollars
each and one for twenty thoustnd
dollars due last fall and one for
fifteen thousand dollars due in
February last. Th.se notes
draw interest at " percent and 8 er
cent, and the inteii st has always been
paid promptly, not a cent of it 1 tng
due now.
Sprerkels & Co. were notified, upon
the accession of the Provisional Gov
ernment last January, that the money
due them could be paid, but they re
plied that they considered it a perftctiv
gond investment, and that the Govern
ment could keep the money as long as
it paid tne interest.
A proposition looking towards the
settlement of these debts will be made
by Minister of Finance Damon today,
and it is thought the terms will be
accepted by the bank.

new to airplanes/two questions help please Dynam Cesna 182
1) I would like to know how the prop. gets placed. I took off the screw and saw two washers. I have placed the prop, and the silver piece of plastic and both washers and all looks good, but I'm not sure if I have done it correctly.
2) the plane had all this extra wire for lights. but no wiring harness to connect it to anything. what/how do I connect it so the lights work.
I put everything together last night and plane looks big! I'm scared of flying it and crashing it!! As I was practicing just taxing on runway, the front wheel fell off!! Now I have to figure out how to fix it!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
For the prop I left the first nut where it was and then back plate, prop, washers, nut and finally the nose cone. I had to take the nose gear apart before I installed it and tight/lock tight everything down during re-assembly. After installing the nose gear I decided there wasn't enough strength so added a piece of balsa to help support it. I don't think it will ever see forward force so only worried about side to side and back pressure.
The wires would have to be striped and if they could handle 5.5 volts plugged into the RX. If not a regulator would need to be put in place to lower the voltage down to the needed value. I just left them hanging.
The plane flies great and very easy to handle. Don't let it get to slow as the stall isn't a very friendly place on this one. Easy to recover with plenty of power and I really like it for the $100 it cost. I was buddy boxing it last night with my children.
quick response-thankyou
Thankyou so much for the prompt response and the pictures. I guess I don't know the voltage on the receiver, so I won't attach it. Looks like there was a place on the receiver that said 'battery'. So initially I was thinking of pulling all wires together and somehow connecting to the terminal. (wasn't thinking of the voltage!!) (how did you know it would need 5 volts?)
As for the prop, I will make the adjustment per your advise!!
I see how you have made some reinforcement for the front wheel, but mine is in place, but it's just the rubber wheel came off the front. I saw it was held by a small nut, so I re-tightened it and once I drove on the ground for 50 feet, it came off again. Same nut got loose!!
what's the budding you were doing with your children? Not sure what that means!!
If you can get Loctite in your area go pick up a bottle. http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/10/...r-Blue-242.htm
Use that to secure the bolt that holds the U bracket on and the bolt that holds the wheel on and your problem should be solved.
A buddy system is where the student holds a transmitter that is connected to the instructor's transmitter via a cable. When the instructor presses a level the students box controls the plane but when the level is released control belongs back to the instructor.
In my case the kids use a Futaba 4Y and I have an 8FG. I only give them control of the elevator and ailerons so they don't have to worry about throttle or rudder. It is a great way to allow someone to learn without the risk of crashing a plane in a few seconds.
Connecting the LED's in not just a matter of voltage. It's more of a matter of current. Any given LED has a given voltage drop that always occurs across it. A series resistor is typically required to get the current where it needs to be. Each LED needs its own ballast resistor.
Simple Ohm's Law... Voltage = Current (amps) x Resistance (ohms)
Most of these cheap LED's run about 20 mA (.02 A) with a 1.4 volt drop across the LED. Let's say you're using the 6V BEC voltage as a supply...
6 volts minus 1.4 volts = 4.6V. This is the voltage drop that will appear across the resistor in the circuit.
So... 4.6 = .02x. solve for x. (4.6 divided by .02) In this example, x=230. Using a 220 ohm resistor (this is a typical nearby common "standard" value) would yield a little over 20 mA of current.
I would expect that any 1/4 watt 220 ohm resistor (stripes= red, red, brown) would be suitable as a series ballast for each LED.
Got it
Blakevan. Thanks for the information on loctite. I will get some. I think it's great that your are using this to teach your youngsters how to fly!! Oh I also noticed that the rear top portion of the wing where there is a light is split open, and the back side is cracked. Do you think it would be ok to put some tape on it, or should I try to get a new one from Nitro planes.....
Hydro-pyro; Thanks for the education on voltage drops/amps and resistors. So is there a circuit board that i can buy to connect these two it. I want to make this as easy as possible. If its a complicated process, then I will just leave the l.e.d's alone!!
more questions
I decided to go with the tape deal. I put some clear tape on it and it looks good!! I also put some glue as suggested earlier on the wheels. thanks.....
Hydropyro, as for the resistors.... I want to connect it to my battery connection that's on the receiver. I belive the battery is 12 volts. Can you tell me what reisitor I should buy please. Can I get them from radio shack. If I do them in series, as you suggested. Sounds liike wiring for christmas tree.....
So I screwed up BAD. I got to fly the plane for total of 3 seconds. it went up and flew to tthe left right in the ground. I had practiced with sims for a while and was pretty good. I also flew mini supercub just fine. I blew it. the wheel is bent styroform torn. All can be fixed but worst of all the motor shaft is bent. I tried to straighten it but broke the shaft!!!
I can fix the other broken parts, but Nitro planes is out of stock on motor. HELP. where can I get motor and shaft!!!
Dude, sorry to hear about the crash but the learning curve is steep on the first few planes. Was this the RTF version? Did you check controls to make sure they were going the right direction before take off?
If the firewall is fine you should be able to put any similar sized motor up there for about $20. You may not be able to use the 3 bladed prop or spinner but at this point learning to fly is way more important than looks.
You don't need all the lights wired to each other in series like christmas lights-- just a resistor in series with each LED. If you want to power them from raw battery voltage (instead of 6v BEC power at the receiver) then double the resistor value. 470 ohms is a standard value that's easy to find.
motor and other questions
So I spent a long time last night and it looks like the only place to get the motor is through nitroplanes. So how do I decide which motor and prop to get. I'm sorry of being so needy, but I really don't know what I'm doing. I'm the kind of guy that stops and asks for direction!!
My plane was the RTF. the firewall is just fine. I used some gorrilla epoxy and glued the wheel shaft back on. I'm thinking once you guys direct me a motor and prop. then I will disable the allerons, and make it more like my 3 channel and get a feel for the plane. Once I get better I can connect the 4th channel back. What do you guys think?
The stock motor works great in this plane with the stock prop! But if you want just a slight increase in performance use an APC 10X4.7sf prop and it will be just a little better...
Or you can do what I did. I now have a Rocket 1500kv motor with a 9X4.5E prop and the plane is a real hot rod now!

A bit late, but thank goodness she is finally gone! But what is all this talk of her being back in the audience.
Cloris said she wasn't leaving but would be back sitting in the audience in full costume gear next week (I believe her threats). She's still a train wreck, aside from the injuries the most talked about thing this season, so I don't think ABC will let her go that easy.Originally Posted by pinkberry30;3226773;
ABC would do well to put a muzzle on her. She'd be stealing the limelight from the remaining contestants and will have crossed a very clear line.Originally Posted by karalott;3226775;
I absolutely agree that ABC would do well to put a muzzle on her, Jexter.Originally Posted by Jexter;3227181;
Only problem is, I DON'T think that's gonna happen.
Let's face it, her even BEING on the show in the first place was nothing more than stunt casting by ABC and TPTB on this show.
Well, they got more than they bargained for, THAT'S for sure.
As for stealing the limelight from the remaining contestants and crossing a very clear line?
Far as I'm concerned, she did that from Day One when she was cussing and they had to bleep her. Seems like she hasn't really been put in check since that time, to me. If what was right was being done, then she should've been pulled off the show immediately after that. But that didn't happen, of course.
Sure, there was the one week she claimed she was going to take the competition seriously and a clip was shown of Corky trying to call her out on her behavior during rehearsal.
But that "correction" took for like all of what seemed to be 10 seconds.
And then when Corky even went so far as to call her ex in during rehearsal, that should have shamed her into behaving, but no.
And horning in on the kids' interview time?
Sure, she did manage to grind out a couple of serviceable-for-her-age dances, but . . .
If I were TPTB at ABC and the producers of this show, I'd at least give serious consideration to getting a restraining order to keep her from coming into the studio, henceforth. Why? Because I totally believe that she'll make good on her promise/threat to continue to show up in the studio and sit on the sidelines (Yeah, RIGHT!) as the show rolls on.
But that ain't gonna happen. They don't have the backbone to even think about getting a restraining order against her.
So, unless I'm completely off the mark (which COULD happen, and I'd be GLAD if it did!), Cloris just might be around to bug the free world on this show until the very last dance.

Here's an article from Corky about the controversy surrounding his girlfriend/SCD pro and how her partner bowed out of the competition because he was afraid of winning. I guess the guy was the worst dancer left in the competition but was extremely popular, better dancers were leaving, and the judges were getting testy about him sticking around.

'John is a coward'
EXCLUSIVE by Paul Henderson 22/11/2008
Kristina's lover says her dance partner let her down by walking out.
The secret boyfriend of Strictly Come Dancing star Kristina Rihanoff last night branded John Sergeant as "cowardly and pathetic".
Former world ballroom champion Corky Ballas said: "It's unbelievable that he has walked out. Kristina's very disappointed and so am I."
An estimated 12 million viewers saw John and Kristina bow out of the show to a standing ovations last night.
BBC bosses were determined to play down the backstage row after the most controversial week in Strictly's history. But Sergeant couldn't resist one last pop at the judges, while Kristina couldn't hold back her tears.
Corky, 47, whose identity has been kept under wraps by Kristina, spoke out after the Sunday Mirror tracked him down to Los Angeles.
A pro-dancer in Dancing With The Stars - the American version of Strictly - he slammed John for his walk-out saying: "I think it's pathetic. It's cowardly. It's stupid.
"I had the oldest celebrity ever on Dancing With The Stars. She was 82. John Sergeant is a baby next to her and we lasted six weeks.
"We kept going until we got kicked off and I don't understand why he didn't do the same thing."
Ballas - 16 years older than 31-year-old Kristina - also hit out at Strictly's panel of judges for attempting to influence the public vote and get Sergeant booted off.
"If people want to vote for him and make him win then he should win," he said. "It's who the public want and that doesn't mean the best dancer should win. John Sergeant was living the life. I saw him a couple of times on the show with six or seven women around him. Suddenly he was a player - he's got a little skip in his step now."
Ballas met Russian-born Kristina in 2003 when she hired him as a dance teacher. They live together in LA, but he has not seen her since September when she flew to Britain to take part in Strictly.
"We are going mad on both sides of the Atlantic," says Ballas, who is separated from British-born wife Shirley. "I hope to see her sometime in January or February in the US."
Strictly dancer Lilya Kopylova, one of Kristina's closest friends on the show, said: "Kristina is devastated. She's been very upset all week.
"She worked so hard and put in a lot of effort to turn John into a good dancer and then he just walked.
"She is very disappointed. It was her first year on the show and she never expected it to end like this.

Look's like Corky's having a little women trouble.
Strictly Come Dancing star Kristina Rihanoff faces claims she trashed ex's home in Houston, Texas
By Paul Henderson 20/12/2008
Accused of trashing home of ex..John Sergeant's Strictly partner could face cha-cha charges.
STRICTLY star Kristina Rihanoff faces a police inquiry over claims she rampaged through her boyfriends house in revenge for him having a fling with another woman.
Love rival Sian Vilaire says raging Kristina who partnered viewers favourite John Sergeant in the hit BBC dance contest trashed her laptop, stole her phone, raked through her dirty underwear and hurled her possessions out of a bedroom window.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror, Sian, 29, claims: It was like a tornado had hit the bedroom.
Dresses were ripped down from hangers and a couple of my sheer little nighties were shredded. Jeans were on the floor and shoes had been flung around diamonds had fallen out of a pair of satin shoes from the impact when they had been thrown.
Sian, a Hollywood actress, says Kristina went berserk after discovering she had been staying with former world ballroom champion Corky Ballas, Kristinas lover of three years.
Sian says: I was running around finding things. It was getting worse and more and more weird.
Im a health nut and my vitamin tablets had gone down the toilet. I could see the residue in the toilet where they had been poured and flushed.
My birth control pills were in the bathroom and they had gone. My make-up in bottles and boxes had been thrown around on the floor and the counters. It was a nightmare.
The worst part of it all, and it made me want to crawl under a bed, is that I discovered used underwear missing from the laundry basket. I just dont understand that.
Sian, who has had roles in US films and soaps, says: There were black satin lacy thongs missing. Ive never in my life heard anything like this before. Ive found none of them.
The missing underwear made me cry that was just too much. I couldnt believe it and I thought, What have I done to her? I didnt even know she existed. I felt incredibly violated.
Kristina and Corky, 47, also a TV star in the US, have been embroiled in a bitter break-up since he spoke about her role in Strictly to the Sunday Mirror last month.
Sources close to her say Kristina, 31, was furious at Corky for betraying her trust and she promptly dumped him.
But when she went to Corkys mansion in Houston, Texas, to get her things 10 days ago, she is alleged to have erupted on discovering Sian had been staying there they in September on Dancing With The Stars, the US version of Strictly.
Kristina made a guest appearance on last nights Strictly final with her dance partner John, the retired TV political editor who quit the show after he was ridiculed by all the four of the judges. But unknown to viewers, police are now investigating a complaint against Kristina of criminal mischief/vandalism that could lead to a maximum two years in jail and a 10,000-dollar fine if she is prosecuted and convicted.
Kristina denies damaging property or any other wrongdoing.
Sian says that on December 11, she and Corky were enjoying a candle-lit dinner at a Houston restaurant when he got a stream of texts from relatives to say Kristina had flown in from London and had turned up at his £500,000 home. Corky showed Sian a text he said was from Kristina which read: You will burn in hell u r f***ing achool (meaning a**hole).
Sian says relatives of Corky rushed to the house after being called by his parents, who live there with him.
DAMN! We got us a soap opera going on, don't we???
Reality is the beginning...not the end....Wallace Stevens
Wow! Drama. His son better be careful. He already looks, dances and has similar mannerisms like his dad. He better hope he does not have the same lady problems. The women involved are not hot and he's not much to look at either. Very Springer-like drama.

Keshab Preshad Ghimire '07
Keshab Preshad Ghimire '07, who journeyed more than 7,000 miles from his native Nepal to attend Hamilton, was born on June 23, 1982. A son of Jagannath and Nirmala Devi Ghimire, he came to the College in 2003 from Budhanilkantha School in Kathmandu and quickly demonstrated his aptitude for computer science, in which he concentrated. While still a freshman, he was awarded the Sam Welsch Memorial Prize Scholarship in that field. Quietly reserved but with a ready smile, he attended Hamilton for a year, and then went on leave, but returned for the spring semester of 2005. At that time he evidenced his interest in helping underprivileged children by participating in the Urban Service Experience in Utica during spring break. He also continued to do excellent academic work, and he stayed on campus during the summer to carry out a research project in computer science.
Tragically, Keshab Ghimire, who had a clinical history of depression, was found dead in his campus room on the evening of June 24, 2005. It was the day after his 23rd birthday. He is survived by his parents in Kathmandu, and by siblings. A memorial service was held in the College Chapel in September, after classes had resumed.

Album Rating: 4.0Wow, a 2??? I've never read one of you reviews, and don't think I will after this one. Sounds like sour grapes because Martsch didn't write an album specifically geared for and dedicated to you. Honestly, if this was a release by a new, unknown band, would you really have given this the same rating?
This is by far not their greatest release, but come on, a 2? At least you bumped it to a 2.5, but it's unfathomable that you gave it a 2 in your review.
Well written review though!
too much of a fanboy to dislike this
Album Rating: 4.0I really really enjoy this album most of the time
